Regarding this entry:
4U. x TheyBudou x "MAD" crosstalk I'm afraid if I say this, Travis Japan's fans will bash me but, I mean it in a good way.
Like how Yuta said, the current Travis Japan is just like them in the past i.e just like M.A.D. but I feel the difference, like how Ryota said they were all reckless.
But to me, Travis Japan is more serious and you can feel them appealing themselves as individual more rather than as a group and there's competition among the members and of course it's a good thing that they got their individual works and gain more spotlight in their own ways.
But M.A.D. were like, relying on each other and they talked more about the members/ the group than about themselves and there was less feeling of competition among them.
Like how they always brought members' stories in their individual interviews, even like in 2006, where they were separated into two groups, group working for Playzone 2006 and group working for Arashi's concert.
Yet the Arashi-group still talking about PZ06 group and PZ06 group talking about Arashi-group while they were having different session of interview.
And like how, for example, Noda-san and Ryota.
Noda-san didn't mind being in the back and pushed the younger boys to the front but Ryota, even though he's more popular than the others, got his own spotlight, he doesn't, I mean like, push himself alone but he'd always drag any members along, just like in this interview, how he tried to make Tsu-kun talk.
