OWV’s Nakagawa Katsunari "Recently I am into cooking…” And something he wants to collect this winter?

The popular boy group OWV released their 7th single “Let Go” under the concept of “holding close” on 2nd November. Following the concept of “holding close” we held special interviews with OWV about “what do you want to share with OWV this winter”.For this we bring you new shots of OWV dressed in the mid-winter London coat style. The second interview is with OWV’s pride with his tall visuals, Nakagawa Katsunari!

KATSUNARI NAKAGAWA
Born 16.3.1997. 25 years old and from the prefecture of Hyogo. He is an allrounder who charms with his powerful and smooth rap and vocals. The gap of his handsome visuals and his calm personality keeps on healing QWV.

“What do you want to do this winter?” Chasing the true side of Nakagawa-kun!

What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear “winter”?
There is only one choice, right? Nabe! For a moment, let’s put the current times aside… but when I hear winter, I want to have nabe. I like to cook and the night before I fileted fish! That’s something pretty serious, isn’t it? When friends come over, nabe is an easy choice. It’s absolutely delicious and healthy. My favorite flavor is yuzu soy sauce. Oh you rarely ate that? You can buy it at the market! I adjust the taste by adding yuzu kosho during the preparations. My favorite ingredient is… (asking Urano-kun who is next to him) Shuta, can you guess it?
(Urano-san thought a bit and answered: “eh… mushrooms?)
The right answer is… tofu!
(Hearing this, Urano-san teased “I had no idea” and then added “I like kimchi-nabe ❤︎”.)

“Turning it into tempura is the best!” His favorite winter dish is?

Please tell us “something you want to eat this winter”! Something other than nabe please.
I really like seafood, but in winter I want to eat soft roe. There are many ways to eat it, but turning into tempura is the best! Also eating it with ponzu… Please try it if you have never eaten soft roe tempura. As you need a license to handle pufferfish, I don’t make it myself but eat it somewhere else (laughs).

So, what kind of fashion do you want to wear this winter?
This winter I want to wear a long coat. I rarely wear those for my stage outfits. Because on stage it is better to wear something that reflects the dance instead of something that nicely shows your body line. Hence, I would like to wear long coats in private. In the case of long coats, mods coats, double coats or trench coats, all are OK.

Speaking of fashion, you are scheduled to appear at the GirlsAwards, how do you feel about it? (*The interview was held before)
It will be my first runway. It will also be my first challenge to be a show model as an OWV member. Maybe this will lead to a huge wave of future modeling jobs…? I don’t particularly practice walking. Since I always imagine the road to be the runaway, I will just walk like I usually do… Just kidding (laughs). I think modeling is a job where the aim is not to show off yourself, but to make the clothes look good on you. This time I hope to show how I walk to make the clothes look good.

His ideal winter date is the “aquarium”! But…

Where do you want to go this winter?
A realistic place would be an onset. In my case, it would be the Arima Onsen in my hometown. Open air onsen feels so good in the winter~! Since I was a student, I would just invite my friends “Wanna go?” if there was some time and go for a drive. I also like sentou, and I often go to the sauna with the members. I mark the saunas that I want to visit eventually on the map and check them carefully. The other day, Shuta and I had a schedule in Osaka. We had about an hour of free time and we quickly checked out the saunas there, settled on one together and then went to work. I like saunas so much that I go there casually.
TN: Onsen - a public bath that gets its water from hot springs, often with a connected hotel.
Sentou - a public bath that gets its water from the public water system.

Please tell us your ideal winter date plan!
Wow! The setting is a first date? That’s hard… Wait a bit. I can’t imagine anything at all (laughs). So… I’m scared to go into the deep waters where you can’t see the bottom anymore. But I think an aquarium date would be nice. I get scared and nervous when I see big marine animals like whale sharks and dolphin shows like in the Kaiyukan in Osaka, but I like the area with jellyfishes and small fishes. So I want to spend a relaxing time, visiting the corners where I can watch the animals (laughs).

His love for cooking is growing… What he wants to collect this winter.

What do you want to have this winter?
I want to collect tableware. It is my grandma’s hobby and she has lots of different designs and pieces by artists at her home. Since moving to Tokyo I have cooked for myself, so I want to also enjoy it visually with the help of tableware. My grandma sent me some pieces, which made me want to collect more. When I go shopping for myself, I always go alone as I don’t want to make others wait for me and I prefer to be free to ponder carefully. If I have a free day, I like to go and look for tableware on my own.

Do you have anything you want to try this winter?
If I had a long holiday, I would like to try winter sports. I like snowboarding, so it would be nice to have a chance to do that again. Also golf. I don’t have a care, so it is a bit hard to go. A friend from my hometown who has moved to Tokyo, started to play golf in the past and even bought a car, so I want to go with him. As I worry about getting a heat stroke when it’s hot, so I want to go golfing in the winter.

And the music you want to listen to during this winter?
This is going to be “Let Go” of course. Winter is the season when you naturally miss the human touch. This is expressed lyrically and the song has a shimmery, snowy atmosphere that sticks in the dry winter air! I hope you will listen to it when the coldness of the winter makes you feel “kinda lonely”.
