「Interpersonal Encouter」
(It's about first impressions, yo~)
1/7 - Senga Kento
「When you meet a person for the first time, what do you see first? What gives the first impression?」
First come the eyes, don't they? The first impression is made by sight. But for me to think of somebody as a certain kind of person, it will be from talking to each other. The first impression I get from this may pertain or may not...it's about 50/50, isn't it?
So I basically think somebody is going to turn out as a nice person, that happens very often for me. I also think: "That person and I, we are going to get along with each other!"
And because I think this way, I am the kind of person who can actually get along with that other person.
「Do you remember your first impression of the other band members?」
I remember it well! When we were still in Nagoya, Yokoo-kun showed me through the do's and don'ts. "He's a friendly person", it made me think. I also thought Fujigaya-kun was a nice senpai. He's an interesting person, but in the beginning I totally didn't understand him. The first impression of Kitayama-kun was "He's a cheeky-looking person." (Laughs) About Tamamori, I somehow thought he was a mean-looking fellow~.
The way I thought of Tamamori by the means of first impression wasn't very accurate, was it? But, that's what I thought. More, the way I thought of Miyata ... I have the feeling I probably thought he was a nice person. About Nikaidou I thought he was a nice fellow, but was very proud-looking. That's what my first impressions were.
2/7 - Fujigaya Taisuke
「When you meet a person for the first time, what do you see first? What gives the first impression?」
First comes the character. Character as in what's shown by what kind of words that person uses, what kind of stories they tell, wouldn't you call it that?
But as this first impression is seen from a momentary point of view, afterwards the impression will change a lot. The probability is about 70 percent, isn't it? I, I like the celebration of human appearance. Because of that, I think I can see through it just well.
「Do you remember your first impression of the other band members?」
Kitayama with his short hair, pitch-black had an aura of living only for his soccer. That was the very first impression. Senga I had seen while being in Nagoya. As he was sweating a lot, it made me think "Fight on!". But I understand that it just becomes stronger when somebody sweats easily. There was no reasoning behind saying encouragements because of the sweat (laughs).
The one who changed least from the first impression he made on me to now is Miyata, isn't he? The opposite, the one who changed most, that's Yokoo. When I first met Yokoo I thought he was younger than me. I lay wrong with that. As he's reliable, I want to tell Yokoo's mother that he's growing up to be a good son (laughs). Tamamori, I thought, was mature. Now, Nikaidou, well ... "This damn brat did enter?!" (laughs). Where kouhais rarely approach us, Nikaidou just barged in and asked "Will we do that choreography today?" That quite surprised me.
3/7 - Yokoo Wataru
「When you meet a person for the first time, what do you see first? What gives the first impression?」
Isn't it the eyes; the begin is made through sight. At that time I somehow think "Ah, that person is like this~", but that might be right as is might be wrong. Now, I don't try to talk to them, so I won't know. I rarely ever talk to strangers. But when that person talks to somebody else, I will listen, so this feels a bit like we too had a chat. But, if from that I think I won't get along with that person, I'm not going to talk to them later on. This puts a limitation on friendships, though, doesn't it?
「Do you remember your first impression of the other band members?」
I remember it! First comes Kitayama. I thought he was younger than me. For the time I still didn't know his name yet, I remember thinking: "Who's that guy? He's brazen~". On the other hand, of Fujigaya I thought he was older than me. It was something about his eyes that made him look older. It's because of how his face is like (laughs). Senga I met first in Nagoya. There I showed him through the do's and don'ts. Back then I thought he was a mysterious kid. That was because he behaved strangely, somehow. "I'm not going to get along with him!" - the one I thought about like that was Tamamori. Since when we talked for the first time, it isn't like that anymore nowadays. Miyacchi entered the jimusho at the same time I did. Yet, I have no memory from meeting him at the audition. Nikaidou also came at the same time. Nikaidou ... was a cheeky kid. I thought he was probably going to turn out as a mean brat (laughs).
