I remember the moment I saw Chino Aoi for the first time. It was almost exactly 2 years ago.
Sister showed me
this SnowPuri Utaban perf, the one that made me fall in love with Otsuka Yûya. Back then, I didn't know anything about Junior and I laughed when I saw this adorable little tiny boy with his
cute dimples, his
front teeth missing and who was so shy that he didn't even answer when he was asked questions at the end of the video.
2 years later, Chino Aoi is still an adorable little tiny boy, he still has his
cute dimples, hopefully for him, his
front teeth are back but what is different is that his speaking skills have improved a lot and I was very impressed by how clearly and smoothly this 11 years old boy is now able to speak in front of the camera ♥

Notes: Thanks to sister, I realized that I misunderstood the part when Chino talks about Ren. Actually, Chino is currently the smallest one and he eats yogurt and drinks milk everyday in order to increase his height by 2 or 3 cm so he will be taller than Ren. Sorry 'bout this mistake, I'll be more careful next time ^_^;)>
And by the way, I didn't translate the dajare on purpose because I'm totally unable to understand them well x)
Takaki, you should take example of Chino-chan and act like a mature boy instead of sulking just because you're tired of waiting for your food to come.
Seriously, why does the Takaki and Chinen Johnny's Journey DVD box has to be that expensive???
The more I watch the show, the more I want to buy this box so I can see more of what happened during their journey...They are just sooooo adorable together that it's almost too much for my heart to handle ♥
There is this diary corner in which they write to each other about what they did during the day and in the latest episode, Chinen wrote to Takaki:
「毎日雄也だけの顔を見ているからこの旅が終わっちゃうのは寂しいなぁ」
"I only see Yûya's face everyday so I'm sad this trip is coming to an end"
I couldn't stop aaaaaaawwwww-ing like a stupid girl when I heard that 8D
Only a few episodes left...I'm also sad...
But at least, the awesome news is that starting from January, we'll have a new Johnny's Journey and this one will be WITH TACKEY!! *runs everywhere*
Apparently, he is still in South America now, heading to Lima so if you are a lucky person and live around there, go and try to kidnap him >8]
