usagil00lchan My pace hero (taking things at his own pace) - Shibutani Subaru (commenting on himself)
I did things at my pace
No matter where I am and what time it is; no matter what kind of people are around me, I always keep my own pace. Every time there is a concert, everyone says that I do things very steadily and I think that's because I am able to keep my cool even in such times.
Salary man hero - Nishikido Ryo
He's very serious
During live concerts, he's really very serious and abides by all the rules. First, he'll enter the concert hall backstage and have his meals. Then he'll do a sound check. After which, he'll have a shower and relax for a while. I think his sense of rhythm is the most stable, just like a salary man.
Super hero - Maruyama Ryuuhei
He shines when he sings
He really shines when he sings and he's really cool during his solo live concerts. What a super hero! But normally he's like an ossan (old man / old uncle) and has no sense of authority. I think the difference between his two selves is very great.
Singing Hero - Yasuda Shota
His solo live was great!
His solo live left a very deep impression on me. He sang very vibrantly and I saw how great he was as a vocalist. It seems that since a long time ago, he's wanted to have a solo with the rest of Five. I think it's wonderful that he's managed to achieve his dream of having the concert.
Sexy Hero - Ohkura Tadayoshi
What on earth is that sexiness?
He was very sexy. Please refer to november issue of popolo. He took off his clothes (laughs). He was also very sexy during the live concerts, especially the expression of him in the pamphlet. And when he sweats in the backstage, what kind of sexiness is that?!
Song Hero - Murakami Shingo
He's good at singing
There were many lives this year, for Kanjani8 and also Five. And I thought that his singing was really good. He took really good care of his throat too, better than others. He gargled and brought his mask around so I thought that was great of him.
Subaru hero - Yokoyama Yu
The core of Subaru
Subaru hero refers to Subaru himself. This year, Subaru was able to bring out the core of himself I think. For example he took part in dramas, musicals, solo, lives, etc. Anyway he did a lot of things he's wanted to do this year has been a step towards his future.
Extras (Subaru commenting on his first appearance on POPOLO):
I was doing a musical in Kyoto five times a day at that time. I still remember that this photo was taken on the stage. How young I was.
