I was shocked when I saw this photoshoot! Clearly Shintaro Morimoto isn't a chibi any more. The entire theme of this photoshoot was his body, and some parts were quite mature xD. It's definitely impossible to look at Shintaro as a little boy any more, and I'm looking forward to what the future holds for Shintaro the young man. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the translation :). Also, in case anyone isn't familiar with the term a "_(number)-pack" is when a person's abdominal muscles are clearly defined into that number of sections, or packs. Also "ripped" and "cut" are more slang ways to say "muscular."
Will You Tell Me: “I Love Everything About You ♥”?
His goal is an 8-pack☆A heart pounding illustrated encyclopedia
Shintaro has the image of being “everyone’s little brother” but… In truth, he has a super manly body!
We will introduce his “if you catch a glimpse of it, your heart will pound, crush-inducing” body along with his “true, going beyond simply the physical” self.☆Eyelash: Before, a girl in my glass told me: “you’re eyelashes sure are long” (according to the editorial examination they are 1.3cm), and because of that, I snipped them with some scissors! ‘Cause isn’t having long eyelashes kind of bad for a guy? That friend was really surprised and yelled: “WHAT DID YOU DO!?” at me (smile).
Back: My back is also pretty ripped, but I haven’t especially toned it at all. Rather, I want to lessen --the muscles-- there. I’m the type that gets muscular easily.
Nape: It’s note like I love napes or anything, but I’d sure want a girl who had a hair style that's short enough for her nape to show. I love short hair ♡. Also ponytails. The point of it is to highlight her shapely neck.
Hip: Like the western example, I wear my pants low on my hips. I even do it with my uniform pants. ‘Cause all the other guys do it too ♪.
Eyes: I was told so by my friends, and that was the first time I did a double take and noticed {the information that follows}. My vision is 2.0 in both eyes. Maybe it’s because I don’t study that much (smile)?
Lip: I haven’t done anything like lip-care. In the winter, no matter how dry my lips get, I don’t walk around with lip cream. If my lips are dry, I can just cure them by licking them!
Collarbone: Recently, I bought a necklace that rests at my collarbone. It was the first time that I’d gone shopping for myself in my whole life. When I wear my private clothes, I put it on if I feel like it ♪.
Hand: My hands are pretty big (according to the editorial examination they are 19cm) so when we do thumb wrestling in the physical education club, I have a pretty good advantage ♪. Yesterday, after art class, I messed around with using the file to shave wood, so my hands got completely torn up (tears).
Stomach: My stomach, it’s too ripped… Scary!! (said Shintaro as he smiled and checked himself out in the mirror) Recently, I’ve become the muscular character, and I was called “muscle museum” by Fuuma Kikuchi! It’s because I’m macho and always in motion. My future ambition is to have a 4-pack, and then get even more cut into an 8-pack ♪.
Nose: It’s not like I really notice smells, but I really like the fragrance of Yuugo Kouchi-kun’s body mist, so I can smell it, even from far away. When I asked him: “where’d you buy it?” he answered: “at a drugstore…” Where is that~!? (tears)
Adam’s Apple: My voice changed when I was in my first year of middle school. I thought “my cold just won’t go away” but it was really that my voice had deepened. It was surprising.
Arm: The place where my muscles are the biggest are my arms. I don’t do muscle-building training in particular, but since I do physical activities in my club, they naturally got built up. Even though it’s annoying when my clothes are too tight, there are times when they’re useful. Before, when I was playing at a friend’s house, I lost at rock-paper-scissors and had to buy 7 or 8 2-litre bottles of soda. I could carry that much with one hand! That’s how it was ★.
Ear: My ears…!? Um, they’re very normal ears. I don't have any piercings, and I don’t have plans to get any!
