This interview was unexpectedly cute! Basically, the setting is "what if you lived with the three members?", so the boys are asked what would be the life with the other two members, plus a girl (the reader).
Kame doesn't want to live with Junno and Nakamaru but would like to be spoiled by the girl who lives with them, Junno and Maru agree that among them it'd be Kame who cooks, Junno talking about Kame like he's his younger brother (seeing through his words~), Maru thinking they three could never live with a girl flatmate because... XD
A thank you to moon_catcher so I could finally read and translate it! :D

If you lived with these three, your heart would skip beats the whole weekend ♥
This is “HOUSE KTN”, the share house of your dreams. What if you started living all of a sudden together with these three amazing inhabitants...?
We made this dream come true on the magazine.

(“Good morning!”, “You wake up so late!” “Do you want coffee?”. If you could do such a verbal exchange, you would probably manage to wake up early every day ♥)
Interview with Kamenashi Kazuya
Warm up the water in the bathtub, and possibly wash me!
My strategy to fulfill my desire since early in the morning is: going back to sleep. If I have to wake up at 8 am, I set the alarm clock at 7.30 am and wake up once. Then if after that I manage to sleep again even just 10 minutes, it's the biggest happiness! I can think “I did something luxurious since early in the morning!” and the “let's work!” eager heats up. The ideal breakfast is rice, clam miso soup, salmon, fresh egg, natto, and cucumber or eggplant pickled in salted rice-bran paste... even saying so, actually, the recent standard breakfast is spicy soup. Also, every morning, I properly set the bed and go to work.
Living together with Taguchi and Nakamaru... No, as major premise I don't want to live with them (laughs), but I guess all of us would do his respective stuff. I have been living alone for a decade so cooking, laundry, cleanings, I do everything ordinarily. I can't go to the supermarket frequently so I think about the menu considering what I have in the fridge and prepare what I want to eat. Being considerate in order to live happily together, I'd buy sweets for Nakamaru coming back home and I'd join Taguchi in playing games. What the girl should wear at home? Color and form don't matter, but I hope for smooth materials that don't itch when I'm leaning my head on her lap. Then, my biggest desire toward the girl who's living with me: please warm up the bathtub's water before! What's bothersome about coming back home when you're living alone is this. Despite wanting to soak at once, you must wait a bit to fill the tub with hot water, right? That's a bother. If possible, since I fall asleep, I'd like her to wash my hair and body. Recently I aaalways think, when I lie on my side inside the car while coming back home from work, “aaah, can somebody put me in the tub~?”.
(Kamenashi-san easily cooks a soup. Nakamaru-san finds something to do and works. Taguchi-san places himself next to them and cheers. Such a happy kitchen time.)
Interview with Taguchi Junnosuke
I'll give curry and a bunch of flowers to a girl who's feeling down.
Living together surrounded with handsome men sounds fun! What a benefit (laughs) If we have to divide the housework, Kame would cook and I'd do the laundry. Nakamaru~ it looks like he can't do anything, but maybe taking care of plants? Because it seems that recently in his private time he's into keeping a house vegetable garden. One knack of making community life continue smoothly is caring about Kame. You know, for unfamiliar people Kame gives off the vibe like “it's okay if you don't mind me”, but if you care he's surprisingly happy (laughs) He is the type with a contrary nature. With Nakamaru, I enjoy that our opinions basically differ. The other day I had an argument with Nakamaru if the Moon is coming closer to the Earth or it's becoming more distant. I was for coming closer, Nakamaru for becoming distant. Some days later Nakamaru did his researches and said “as expecting it's becoming distant!”. I'd feel great if he plays games with me.
If the girl I live with is feeling down... I'd cook curry! Mildly spicy with carrots, potatoes, onion and either chicken or pork. Then I'd buy a small bouquet while coming home and place it in a vase. I like flowers too, and they're relaxing; more than getting all the information out of her, I want to do something out of ordinary for her. If we start a fight, I'll apologize at once. Even if I'm not at fault I don't like that the atmosphere becomes bad so I apologize. In those moments I avoid even my finest gags. Because the air becomes heavy for no reason. What I'd like the girl to tell me is an everyday routine exchange in which she asks, when I come back home, “do you want to take a bath? Or eat? Or me?” and I reply “of course you!” (laughs).
(They're having a great time playing poker! Taguchi-san distributes the cards for 4 people, “also for the girl who's living with us”. It's a pity it isn't included in the picture.)
Interview with Nakamaru Yuichi
I'm a specialist in cheering up people. The "My home" of my dreams is...
Most probably the one who'd cook is Kame. Taguchi'd be in charge of cleanings and I'd do the laundry. It feels good when towels and T-shirts become soft and fluffy, I like it. Ah, but the one cutting the fish would be me. Sea bream, squid, horse mackerel... I'm particularly good with sea bream. Previously, on the filming set for a drama about sushi, I was seeing fish every day and I started to wanting cut it so I practiced. If it's sea bream sashimi and omurice I can cook for a girl. For a period omurice was my monthly boom inside of me. It's tasty, frying rice and chicken with ketchup and laying soft-boiled egg on it. But community life with the three of us and just one girl is impossible! I tell you it'll surely develope into romantic love! If it turns into a scramble... I'd quietly leave the house (laughs).
I'm a specialist in cheering up people. If someone gets something wrong and the situation turns into “this is bad bad bad”, I put into words “no, all humans do mistakes. The fact you're reflecting on it must have reached the other too, and it doesn't mean that only one miss will make your reputation fall”. When I'm down, I repeat this to myself too. I look back at what I need to reflect on or amend, but I think that even if I feel sad nothing changes, so I try to be positive and look forward as much as I can. My future “my home” is in a place with some nature and a wife that thinks only about me. When we have children, I'm afraid I'll shower them with a not ordinary amount of love (laughs). I grew up with many people loving me and I do think love is important. I'm fine with both boys or girls. I'll do housework too. I like laundry.

By the way, AnAn staff wrote
in the editors' notes that the soup we see kame's serving and they are drinking in the photoshoot was cooked by Kame, who did it using the ingredients he found on the photo shoot set (so I suppose that the chef!Kame we see in the background in some pictures was cooking for real and not faking for the photoshoot xD). The staff ate it too and said it was to almost a professional level, they were amazed xD
So... raise your hand if at the magazine question of living at share house "HOUSE KTN" with these three inhabitants you answered "YES PLZ LET ME ♥" XD And wash Kame or drinking the soup he cooks or playing games with Junno or being cheered up by Nakamaru...
