Birthday Special
Tanaka Juri, 27 years old. 27 treasures.
Something important = me!
Tanaka will be celebrating his 27th birthday on June 15. He shared with us the 27 “things & people” that shaped his present self.
1. The only hobby I’ve kept is basically gaming.
2. Delivery. Except for when I’m back at my family home, my meals are often takeout.
3. Schedule. I like to make my own plans and follow them exactly.
4. Sleep. For both stress relief and problem-solving, sleep is the best!
5. I don’t like it when sunlight comes into my room, so I have custom made block-out curtains.
6. I bought a pretty nice bed recently and I’ve been getting good sleep.
7. In general, I wear sweats or jerseys.
8. Accessories. I started wearing them in my late teens and the generally all gold.
9. I drive my car from time to time on my days off. I feel like I can go anywhere and that feels nice.
10. Friends. I have 2 in showbiz, and 3 others otherwise. I’ve known them all for more than 10 years.
11. Alcohol. I’ve been drinking 2, 3 glasses of wine lately.
12. Money. It’s proof that I’ve worked hard and it motivates me too.
13. Fragrance. I have different diffusers in my living room, corridor, bedroom etc.
14. Work. It’s the most important thing to me!
15. Kitsune udon. I eat instant cup noodles a lot. So much that I want to appear in a commercial for one (laughs).
16. I love the latest household appliances like washing machines and fridges. It’s like seeing robots evolve and that’s interesting.
17. Extreme conditions. The more exhausted I am, the better I can rap and work better.
18. Manga. I want to read it when I’m moving between jobs, so I’ve been reading digital copies lately. I read the ones that are high on the rankings.
19. Personally, I think I’m using nice speakers.
20. We’re close, and my family is the most important out of my relationships.
21. Girls. There are a lot of cute girls among my fans. I can work hard when they support me!
22. I only go a few times a year, but I look forward to going on a mini vacation with my friends to a driveable distance away.
23. Days off. I’m happy when I get a break. I’d like to tell this to my manager (laughs).
24. It gives me peace when I have daily necessities like shampoo and masks stocked up.
25. I use my tablet to watch videos often.
26. Projector. I bought it because I think it’d give my room a nice vibe. But I only use it to project the time (laughs).
27. The thing that I prioritise the most is always “me”. Something important = me!
SixTONES tell us about the type of person Tanaka Juri is!
- “Mischievous”
It’s his appearance after all. Like, he looks like a player. Girls like that right? By Jesse - “Dry”
He keeps a clear line between work and play, and he’s good at maintaining an appropriate distance to others. By Kyomoto Taiga - “A clever way of life”
He’s able to be the centre of attention and also know when to take the backseat within his own boundaries. By Matsumura Hokuto - “Moody”
It’s easy to see what mood he’s in, like “he’s sleepy” or “he’s in a good mood~”. By Kouchi Yuugo - “Has strong beliefs”
He has his own beliefs that he will not budge on, and I’m envious that he’s so resolute about them. By Morimoto Shintarou
