Wink Up September 2013
Travis Japan - Eternal Bonds

After a long time, this month we have a photo shoot with cool image. The theme of the talk is "fans". We have them give nick names to their fans and tell something they want to say.

Aran Abe

You might somehow have heard name like this before (laughs), but I decide that my fans would be "United Alans"! "United" has a meaning of unity. I put this in the name because I want people know that everyone (the fans) and I are connected to each other. In fan letters from those United Alans, there often written things like "Looking at Aran-kun gives me energy!", and I'm really happy with those words. In exchange, it also becomes strength for me, it makes me spirited. Then, there are also girls sending letters saying about my failure in stage play or such. Everyone's opinions, I'm aware of those in every performance. Have I properly fix it? (laughs) From now on, please send many letters telling me about my failures too! Then, no matter what, please keep up with me!

Kaito Miyachika

Because my fan existence feels like a family, using the plural forms of "Miyachi", I decided it to be "Miyachis" (laughs). The Miyachis that look up to me who always joke around. Hello. I think you have seen both of my good and bad points. Those who have known all about me are my family. Please make me as your only son, and love me just like a mother! Speak of which, did I say "me"* to much? (laughs) Anyways, for me, everyone's love is important. Then, I will work hard so I can meet your expectations. So, from now on please look at me closely, it would be good if you support me. I really love you! ...It's decided now~

*) In the article, Miyachika used many "boku". It's a bit unusual because in interviews he rarely use that and if he's going to say "me" he uses "ore" instead.

Kaito Nakamura

Recently, I think I should make it "A family that eats a lot", but I think it would be a pity for the fans, so I put "Sea Family" as a name (laughs). The point is to have my name "Umi"* in a cool way as "Sea"! Everyone in Sea Family, these days, have you eaten properly? Have you slept properly? Recently, I experienced Crea shows, appeared in PLAYZONE, and I feel that I have many people supporting me. However, I will be lonely if only a little people that bring my uchiwa, so Sea Family please wave your uchiwa with all your strength (laughs). In cold days and hot days, that you always give your supports, thank you very much!! This year is also hot, don't be caught up by heat fatigue, okay.

*) "Kai" in his name uses the same kanji as "Umi" which means "Sea" in Japanese.

Asahi Kajiyama

In the previous month's crosstalk, because I became "Doyayama-kun", I thought to make it (the calling for the fans) "Doyayama-chan" (laughs). But... Because I like SMAP afterall, I want to make it to "Doyappu"*! Everyone in Doyappu, thank you always! Recently, we realize that although we are like this there are still people who support us. You might think that bringing our uchiwa or such is an usual thing, but for us it becomes a big power. Do you realize? Now, we are starting to evolve, and the bonds between members are becoming deeper. Those are because of you. Please work hard to return our love properly! Someday, kanshashai**... ah I messed up at the important part (laughs). To have a thanksgiving event to the fans is my dream. I really really love you.

*) In Japan, SMAP is pronounced as "sumappu". Here, Kaji mix "doya(gao)" with the "p" accent of SMAP so it becomes "doyappu".
**) He was going to say "kanshasai" (thanksgiving) but messed up :p

Shizuya Yoshizawa

There's no particular meaning of this, but from now on I will call you all as "Shii Dream Island"! Not only that it sounds good, "Shii's Dream Island" is somehow good, isn't it (laughs). For always come to stage play or such and keep supporting me, thank you! The letters from you, each and every words are really echoing and giving me spirit. Even in a day when I feel down, when I think that there are people who watch me and support me, I would think "Let's work hard!". I'm really really thankful to you who can lift my mood in such way!! We might be popular from now on... no, I'm planning to become a top idol though (laughs). Because of that, I'll be happy if you stay by my side like this. I love you.

---Done! I like this interview because how they shows their love X3 and the names are cute! Although I prefer Doyayama-chan than Doyappu :p and Kaichan... never get away from food :p

As usual, comments are LOVE :3
