On the 19/7/2020 (Sun) broadcast of the TOKYO FM radio program “Sugisaki Hana’s Flower TOKYO” (every Sunday from 8:00 to 8:30).
Sugisaki Hana was answering questions from listeners about “when talking with friends.”
Sugisaki Hana: 19 years old, Tokushima Prefecture, radio name “Roro”.
Listener email: Good morning, Ohana.
Sugisaki Hana: Good morning.
Listener email: I have the impression that Ohana cares a lot about her friends.
When you talk to close friends, are you the type to ask questions? Or are you the type to be asked a lot of questions?
I’d like to know what kind of atmosphere you talk in.
Sugisaki Hana: Eh… which? Eh… I wonder? Questions… Hmm.
…both?
I guess it’s both?
Sometimes I ask questions, and sometimes they ask me questions.
“What kind of atmosphere”?
I wonder. But, you know… when someone talks about themselves without me having to ask them anything, I feel happy, so maybe that’s why I talk about myself too.
I ask questions, and maybe I talk about myself too…
But there are times when I feel nervous with that friend.
There’s still time, how should I put it? When I’ve only been able to see them a few times, I’m like, “Oh, what should I do? What should I ask?”, and when there’s a quiet moment, I’m like, “I wonder if it’s okay?” or “I wonder if they’re having fun?” (laughs). I think there are times when I feel nervous, but at times like that, I think I’d be happy if they told me about their favorite things, so I might try to talk about them.
