[Translation]Myojo 12/2011 Nozomu Kotaki+Yuuto Shingaki
The theme of this photoshoot was dressing to impress on a date :). Each of the 6 boys got to pick out their own style in hopes of getting rated 5 stars on their outfits, which were supposed to be pleasing to girls. They each had a "girl persona" that they used to judge each other from a girl's perspective (I'm not really sure how giving them wigs and girl names gives the boys a girl's perspective, but whatever, it was funny xDDD). Kotaki loves boots and beige and thinks that he's very mature, while Shingaki understood the goal of the theme perfectly and wants to grow up more in the future.It was surprisingly fun to read (actually, interviews by the kansai boys are often really interesting, so I don't know why I'm always surprised xD) so I hope that you all enjoy it too.

Nozomu Kotaki: “Won’t you go on a mature date with me, who has gotten a little taller?”
Before, I really liked boots with pointed toes, but now I think that these suede boots are dreamy ♥. I especially think that beige things are cute and nice! Except for during the summer, I’m so into the color that I basically wear them {the boots he has on} every day. That’s why I won’t take them off even for the fashion competition. My body overall, well anyways, simple is best, so it’s a tee shirt with jeans. If I was to go on a date with a girl in these clothes, I’d probably want to have an adult-like plan, since I’ve gotten a little taller. Eating dinner at a restaurant with a view of the night sky, gazing at the beautiful illumination… I don’t have any plans like that though (tears).
I want to attack winter in a cool way with fashion. My necessity is a racing jacket! I’m into the slim black type. I think it’s so cool if there’s a design on the zipper part on the chest. I’d always combine it with a gray parka. With jeans, it’s easy to be charming if they’re pre-ripped and an eye-catching color.

“The fashion shows Kotaki-kun’s true self, but it’s a little too refined~. Since it’s a date, get a little fired up with some accessories.” (Koue) “I think it suits him. Wonderful.” (Takeko) “When I thought: “I like simple fashion♥” and showed this fashion to my boyfriend Ryuusei-kun, he told me: “damn, when I was in my third year of middle school, I just wore jerseys all the time.” That’s probably a bad thing~♪.” (Ruka)
Yuuto Shingaki: “I’m prepared to accept everyone’s love.”
The title of this outfit is “accepting everyone style” (smile). This style is completely different from what I usually wear, but I was conscious that I had to be “cool” for the competition, so I tried out this type! You can’t mess up with a white tee shirt, and it’s refreshing, isn't it. Since I’m wearing a jean jacket, I thought that denim bottoms would look lame, so I chose cargo pants. In this outfit, it seems like I could go anywhere, in the city or outdoors!
The style that I like is stuff that goes “swish.” I wear a lot of black. I do my shopping in Umeda or Shinsaibashi. I also go to Amemura a lot. When I go to Tokyo, I go to stores in Shibuya. This fall, I want to challenge wearing blazers with shirts and a tie, adult man fashion. It’s similar to the clothes that I’ve worn up until now, but with more emphasis on the “swish” feeling.

“In private, he always wears black, and it has the image of [going off to battle somewhere], right. Isn’t the jean jacket great?” (Shigemi) “It’s cute and it suits him, so it seems like I can boast to others when we go out on dates!” (Takeko) My heart is pounding right now ♪. But if you say [that outfit is cool] somehow it seems to be overshadowing the goal (smile).” (Ruka)
