People who become quite captivated with something,
他のことを忘れて熱中できる人達かなって思います。
and can immerse themselves, forgetting about other things, I think.
何かの物事に特質して詳しい人。
Someone who's particularly acquainted with something.
フィギュアとかアニメとか。
Like figurines, or anime.
めっちゃ熱狂的な。
Super enthusiastic.
ファン。
Fan?
いいえ。
No.
僕は釣りが好きなので、釣りに関してはオタクって呼ばれてもおかしくはないかなと思います。
I like to fish, so I think it wouldn't be strange for me to be called a fishing-otaku.
いや、俺は思わないですね。
Nah, I don't think so.
自分も思わないですね。
I don't think so either.
ディズニーオタク。
Disney-otaku.
なんか、情報をすごい集めて、ディズニーのリゾートとか行くとテンションが上がって… みたいな。
Like, I collect a lot of information, and I get very excited going to a Disney resort, something like that.
年に何回ぐらい？

Around five, six times.

アニメとか。
Anime.
アイドルとか。
Idol celebrities.
ちょっと古いかもしれないんですけど、秋葉原とかでいるような、
This is a little old, but like in Akihabara...
なんか、リュック背負って、眼鏡かけて、で、ちょっと小太りで、
Like, carrying a backpack, wearing glasses, a little plump,
チェックシャツ着てるようなのを想像しますが。
wearing checked shirts, that's what I imagine, but...
でも、友達とか見てるとそんな感じじゃないので、
But, looking at friends and such, they're not like that, so
多様だから一様に言えないなとは思います。
It's diverse, so I think I can't describe them uniformly.
アニメとか特に見てる人が多いんで、見た目だけじゃ判断はできないかなと思いますね。
Lots of people watch anime and stuff, so you can't judge them based on looks alone, I think.
偏見だと、ちょっと髪の毛長くて、眼鏡でみたいな。
Going by prejudice, someone with slightly long hair and glasses, I guess?
なんか別に服装とかに気を使ってないみたいな。ちょっと電車男みたいな。
Someone who doesn't really care about clothing. Like Densha Otoko.
確かに、服とかよりも、もうなんかその好きなものっていうイメージ。
True. The impression I have is they're more about what they like than clothing and stuff.
お金のかけ方がそっちに行ってるから、他は二の次っていうイメージありますね。
My impression is they spend money on that, so everything else comes second.
バンダナ巻いて、ペンライトみたいな。

そうそうそう。
Yes, yes, yes.

アイドルのコンサートとか？
At an idol concert?
そうです、そういう感じです。
Yes, something like that.
根暗そうな感じですね。
They seem gloomy.
僕はいいイメージがあると思います。
I think I have a good impression of them.
お金を落とす人ってなかなかそういないので、そういうことで経済が回るし、
Not many people spend lots of money, so such things make the economy go round.
そういう熱中することを持つっていうことはすごい大事なことだと思うので、
I think it's very important to have that sort of enthusiasm, so
いいことだと思います。
I think it's a good thing.
そうですね、自分の周りでも割とオタクの人、友達多いんですけど、
Yes, there are quite a lot of otaku people and friends around me, and
みんな優しくていい人が多いので、自分としてはいいイメージがありますね。はい。
many of them are nice and good people, so I have a good impression personally, yes.
俺はいいイメージがありますね。
I have a good impression.
やっぱその物事に一本に集中できるっていうのは、なんか僕はそんなできないので。
Being able to focus singularly on something, because I can't do something like that.
それについては本当にすごいと思います。
I think that's really amazing.
自分は、なんか偏見入るんですけど、悪いイメージもあって、
For me, there's a little prejudice involved, but I have a bad impression as well.
なんか、そのことに熱くなり過ぎて、なんかちょっとこう色々こう人と厄介事で。
Like, they're so overly heated up over that thing, it's like, they have some troubles with people.
なので、一概にいいとは言えなくて。
That's why, I can't say it's completely good.
なんか熱狂的なファンがライブでちょっとやらかして怪我させちゃったとか結構聞くので、
I hear a lot about a fervent fan stirring up something during a live show and hurting people, so
そういうとこを見ると、なんかいい面だけではないなっていう感じはしますね。
looking at that, it feels like it doesn't just have a good side.
普通に共存。共存してます。
Normally coexisting. Coexisting.
別に自分達に支障がないから。増えても減っても。
It's not like they're interfering with us, whether there's more or less of them.
どっちでもいいです。
Either way is fine.
日本をこうそのオタク文化とかそういうので知ってもらえるのであれば、
If we can get others to get to know Japan through, like, otaku culture,
すごく歓迎しますし。
I welcome that very much.
いいことかなとは思います。
I think that's a good thing.
中にはマナーが悪い人とかいて、
Among them are badly mannered people,
それで評価が下がることもあるかもしれないですけど、
and that makes opinions about them drop, but
みんなで色々考えをシェアしたりとか、
if everyone shares their different thoughts,
そういうことは駄目だっていう風に言える文化になるようであれば、
and we become a culture where we can say, "That's not good!",
すごい歓迎はします。
I welcome that very much.
積極的に文化の交流とかも行われると思うので、非常にいいことだと思います。
I think a proactive interchange of culture will take place, so I think that's extremely good.
日本のことを知ってもらえるいい機会だと思うので、
Because I think it's a good chance for others to know about Japan.
増えてほしいというか、まあ増えても別にそんなに不快感はないですね。
Rather than saying I want more of them, it's that I don't feel very displeased or anything if there's more of them.
それ、日本のアニメとかってすごい影響力あるし、
Japanese anime and stuff have a lot of influence,
それが好きでオタクになるのなら、
if they become otaku because they like that,
別に、日本人の自分としては、なんかそれは嬉しいことなんじゃないかなと思いますね。
as a Japanese myself, I think, isn't that something to be happy about?
好きならいいんじゃないかな？みたいな。
It's like, as long as they like it, it's good.
いいと思います。増えても。
I think it's good to have more.
