Richey and Nicky - Japanese interview

Richey Edwards and Nicky Wire of the Manic Street Preachers really really really love Japan! In this casual but cute Japanese interview (GATS period) they talk of their love of rain, video games and fruit machines, Richeys cuts and burns, and other things they enjoy and prefer about Japan. Except all the smoking according to Nicky, all the while as Richey chain smokes like a fiend through-out the entire interview!

Richey is lovely in this vid. I meant the way he talk :)

he look so happy...

[j7609]

@Meggy. if you think Richey looks happy in this interview, you should check out the interview i have with him and Nicky playing put-put (miniture golf). IMO, it's the one interview where he looks and acts truly happy. it's very adorable. check it out if you haven't yet, it's not to be missed :) it's my favorite interview with Richey in it!

This interview is actually from late 1993.

He says at the end: "Hai. Er, give thanks and praises to the most high. Love, Richey."

I like this interview, but you can tell that Richey was having back pain during it. The lady in this one is also in the 'Manic Street Preachers Arrival in Sapporo 1993' video.

Thanx aboutdesouflle87 for clarifying the date of this interview, and what Richey said at the end. I figured that was what he said, but wasn't 100% sure. Cheers to ya!

[aslongasitlasts]

I'm a Richey fan, but Nicky here is perfect.

[TorysApollo]

(I know I commented this video the other day but what the hey) Richey has a really sweet voice when he speaks in Japanese!

[TorysApollo]

Mhmm... Nicky is gorgeous. (and Richey of course)

I love this interview

2:56 根性焼き　こんじょうやき　konjouyaki

means 'test of courage by burning skin with cigarette' according to my dictionary.

Konjou means will-power, guts, courage, temper, nature or spirit.

Yaki is used at the end of food names like Teriyaki.

So there you go.

OMG, I want to give Richey a massage!!!

[helowako]

after he has shown his scars, the woman says 'Do you have a...'

what is that word she says??

[selfobsessionhoney]

Great. Forget what a great little band the Manics were, nice to be reminded sometimes. Utterly charming. And to clear my comment of any validity am gonna have to add how utterly fookin' gorgeous Nicky looks. Sorry! :) x

I think that's our job as Manics fans...
