Time to change!

I noticed that ever since I stopped updating this journal regurlarly, my English writing skills have deteriorated.
As I'm a language student, this is not good at all.

So I've decided that from today, I will write here everyday. Since I'm FINALLY on holiday for a week, I have no excuse for not doing it at least until next Monday. After that, uni will start again and I will be back to my zombie state but even then, I'll do my best! Without further ado, let's go for day 1 of this challenge (*^_-*)~☆

Yesterday, after my morning lesson, I went to the Japanese quarter in Paris, hoping to find the November issue of Wink Up. I really wanted it because I'm a weak girl who can't resist a magazine cover that looks like this. They didn't have it at Book Off so I was a bit worried since it's already the end of the month but hopefully for me, they had it at Junkudo, hidden behind other magazines. It was the last one. I'm sure it was waiting for me to come and buy it 8D

Anyway, I haven't read it all yet but I stumbled upon this interview that is so freaking adorable that I translated it right away ♥



Inoue Mizuki x Tamamoto Fumito x Hashimoto Ryô
For this shooting, we made them look older and cool. The theme was "Little Jr. aru aru" (= facts that often happens, general truths about a certain topic, little Junior here.). Enjoy the gap between the photos and their conversation!
Inoue: There are quite a lot of "Little Jr. aru aru"! For example the fact that most of the time, the shoes we are given are too big...(laugh)
Tamamoto: Also things like the battles when we get candies and sweets for lunch. (laugh)
Hashimoto: We do that~! But we don't do it often lately. Like I say "Here are the candies~!" and run to get them but then I look back and see that everyone is silent, playing with their phones. And it's like I suddenly realize that I'm still a kid. (laugh)
Inoue: Yeah! Lately there are many boys who are younger than us.
Tamamoto: When I say things like "What about giving the candies to the younger boys?", I feel like I've grow up a little. (laugh)
Hashimoto: Yeah. Also before, we were happy when we got candies but lately, I feel happier when we get hamburger steak or things that are more "real" food. Don't you think this also shows that we grew up?
Inoue: I so understand that! The feeling that hamburger steak heals your tired body. (laugh) But honestly, lately I feel like we aren't "little Jr." anymore.
Tamamoto: I know right? We want to be called "Young Jr." instead. (laugh)
Inoue: Like the other day, the dance teacher said "All the little Jr., come here!" and we thought we had to come but actually it wasn't for us! It made me happy~~!
Hashimoto: But there are some persons like Kaneda (Yousei) who are still little Jr. inside. He is always fooling around with the younger boys. (laugh)
Tamamoto: He looks like he is having so much fun with them, saying things like "Stop~ Uwaaaaah!" (laugh)
Inoue: Another "Little Jr. aru aru" is the fact that we aren't allowed to wear accessories! (I had never noticed that before but it's true that I don't think I have ever seen younger Junior with a necklace or a watch!) Well, it's not as if we actually had some.
Tamamoto: I do. That's because I'm in my second year of junior high school! But I don't wear them during dance lessons because we are sweating a lot.
Hashimoto: We are still young but what kind of songs would you like to try to sing or dance?
Inoue: I want to be a back dancer for Yamada-kun when he sings Mystery Virgin! Usually it's people like Iwamoto-kun right? Don't you think they are super cool?
Hashimoto: I think I'm still a bit too young for that kind of dance...The moves look really hard!
Tamamoto: I'd like to try even if it looks hard. I wonder if they would let us do it only once~ (laugh)
Inoue: Plus most of the time we are also six so it's perfect! (Chibi 6 = Inoue Mizuki, Tamamoto Fumito, Hashimoto Ryô, Hayashi Ren, Kaneda Yousei and Haba Yûki) I have already learned the choreography watching a video. Songs like Marui Chikara are fun but sometimes, I would like to sing more adult-like songs.
Hashimoto: If we do that, then I really want to see Iwamoto-kun and the others sing Marui Chikara!
Tamamoto: Uwah I want to see that! It's true that sometimes, I'd like to wear adult-like clothes that would make us look more cool.
Hashimoto: For us it's always black pants with a red or a white vest...
Inoue: The first thing we do when we arrive backstage is to take black plants and a black tank top...That definitely is a "Little Jr. aru aru" (laugh) Ah I just remembered about another thing! S-size vests are for little Jr. (laugh)
Hashimoto: (Proudly) I'm already wearing the M-size ones~!
Tamamoto & Inoue: Me too~~!
Inoue: Apparently, there is also a L-size for these vests but I've never seen them.
Hashimoto: Me neither. Most of the Junior are wearing S-size so before a concert, backstage you can always hear someone screaming "Were are the S-size clothes~!?" (laugh)
Tamamoto: The 3 of us already wear M-size vests. It definitely means we aren't little Jr. anymore, right?
Inoue: Wait, what is your shoe size? If it's smaller than 25cm, then you're still a little Jr.! I'm 25,5cm!
Hashimoto: I'm also 25cm already~! Tamamocchan is 23cm!
Tamamoto: (With an irritated face) 23,5cm!
Hashimoto: Nothing to be proud of! (laugh)
Inoue: We are still considered as "cute" but from now on, I want to become more and more cool!
Hashimoto: Yeah. And in 5 years, I want to read that interview again. (laugh)
Inoue: We should do that! So until that day comes, please keep that magazine somewhere! (laugh)
