WHITE=pure, BLACK=cool, they broke into 2 teams with those meanings and took pictures. These twelve boys let us hear conversations from various angles while associating with those colors!
“Ciao” to White Hearts
Q1: Do you have a pure part inside yourself?
Q2: Who do you think the cutest member in this group is?
Q3: What image does the color white have?
Q4: Which is your type: an angel girl or a little devil girl!?
Q5: Tell us your present condition☆
Amu Haniuda: A1►The other day, I wore a costume shirt like a pair of tight-fitting pants. Then the choreographer said to me: “Haniuda was the only one who made that mistake {wearing the pants as a shirt}, and the meaning of that is, he’s innocent.” It made me a little happy. A2►That’s got to be Kuramoto-kun. If you sit next to him on a train or something, he says just like a girlfriend: “hey, lend me your game ♥” and it’s super cute (smile). A3►White is pretty, but if it gets dirty, it quickly turns black. The carpet in my room used to be white, a friend or someone else got it dirty and it turned black~. A4►Before, I liked little devil type girls, but now I think I might like pure, angel type girls more. It seems like that kind of girl would surprise you in good ways. A5►After I cleaned my room, I put an “L” shaped screw on the wall and put up a model gun for decoration. It has the feeling of having become a really cool room!
Koki Furubayashi: A1►I don’t think I really have any pure parts. Ah, but I have had the experience of being moved by a movie and crying… I’m pretty sensitive… I guess? A2►Inoue-kun. He’s small and somehow cute. I’m happy that we’ve been good friends since I entered the juniors! A3►Someone with a calm heart. The image of someone whose nice and who will wrap you up {to protect you}. A4►Little devil types are better. It seems like it’d be more fun to talk to someone who was a little bit confusing. A5►I entered the juniors this summer. Dancing and stuff is really hard, but really fun. I want to be able to flourish in a lot of genres!
Koki Furubayashi. Born May 10th, 1998 in Chiba. Blood type A. Hobby: Soft Tennis. Favorite Food: Meat. Favorite Type of Girl: A fun, nice girl. Admired Sempai: Yuuto Nakajima-kun. A Word to the Fans: I’m trying with all my power, so please support me.
Kaoru Kuramoto: A1►No, I don’t really have any. Everyone calls me “black!” (smile) But I guess I like emotional novels. Right now I’m really into a novel called “Colorful.” A2► Inoue-kun. Because he’s cute. His face and his head and his head and his head (smile). But I think that it’s awesome how he can do a backflip even though he’s got a cute face. A3►It has the image of not being able to be dyed by any other color. And also rice. Since white matches rice, and rice goes together with pickled vegetables, and since I eat pickled vegetables with chili oil, those thoughts come to the surface too. A4►Angel. Me, I’m bad at talking, and an angelic girl would probably be able to widen the conversations? If I was with a little devil type girl and she started to lead, well, as the man I’d want to be in charge. A5►On [Johnny’s Jr. Land] I made a character boxed lunch with Fuuma-kun and Shouri-kun. We made rice balls and they turned out looking really delicious!
Mizuki Inoue: A1►Me, well, if I try to play a trick on somebody, I get caught really quickly. While I’m in the middle of doing it, I get all funny and start laughing unintentionally… That probably means that I’m pure. Also, there’s a part of me that if I decide to do my best, I work hard until the end in a straight line. Like recently, I wanted to get better at dancing, so now I practice in front of a mirror at home every day. A2►Kuramoto-kun. Everyone else has the feeling of being my big brother, only he has a cute aura. Me? I cut my hair, so my cuteness disappeared (smile). Once it grows back out, I wonder if I’ll go back to being cute (smile). A3►Grains of rice. I like eating it with finely chopped bonito and soy sauce seasoning. A4►An angelic girl. A little devil type girl is scary somehow. Ah, but I like girls who have a mature appearance. A5►Right now, the place I want to try going to is the zoo. I want to see my favorite red pandas. The way they can walk on two legs is so cute ♥.
Shota Kawasaki: A1►Probably my shyness. If I had to confess my love to a girl, I think I’d be very bashful. But I like having my picture taken. Huh? I guess I’m not that shy (smile). A2►Kuramoto-kun’s plump cheeks are cute, and Mizuki-kun is cute because he’s small like a little brother. A3►Snow, of course. It also has the image of a tidy girl wearing a pure white dress. A4►Little devil girls are my type. Angel type girls seem like they’d be too mature, so I like energetic, positive girls better. But if she were Cinderella, it’d be better if she didn’t act cold (smile). A5►[SUMMARY~] was awesome, I made a lot of friends in the juniors who I can talk to!
Shota Kawasaki. Born January 29th, 1998 in Saitama. Blood type B. Hobby: Reading. Favorite Food: Raw liver. Favorite Type of Girl: A long haired little devil type girl. Admired Sempai: Daiki Arioka-kun, Yuuma Nakayama-kun. A Word to the Fans: I’m especially doing my best at dancing, so please support me!
Yuuta Jinguuji: A1►People often tell me: “you have a face that makes it seem like you can’t think of bad things.” Certainly, I do cry easily when I see something moving, but in the depths of my heart I think of some pretty unexpected things. A2►Mizuki-kun. His behavior and his appearance, everything about him is cute. That kid is genuinely pure. But, well, if you were to talk about which of us is girly, that’d probably be Kuramoto-kun (smile). A3►White, I really like white. Normally, I wear a lot of white cardigans and underwear. It’s also like snow, with a pretty image. I can never forget the snowy scenery that I saw once while I was in an outdoor hot spring. A4►I prefer the angel type. It seems like little devil type girls would plan different things too much. Angel girls who have the feeling of being kind of calm are my favorite! A5►On [Johnny’s Jr. Land] I challenged breaking a board with my special skill, karate. I tried my best, why didn’t it turn out well? It would have been good for me to break the board safely, but trying made my hand hurt quite a bit~.
Black or Nothing
Q1: Do you have a cool part inside yourself?
Q2: Who do you think the most mysterious member in this group is?
Q3: What image does the color black have?
Q4: Which is your type: an angel girl or a little devil girl!?
Q5: Tell us your present condition☆
Saneyasu Takahashi: A1►During the ten minute breaks when everyone plays, I read, and there are only about 5 guys in my class who do that. Because of that people ~sometimes~ tell me that I’m cool. A2►Tanimura-kun seems really smart, but occasionally it seems like there’s a part of him that makes me think: “huh, isn’t that kind of weird?” Or, rather than weird, he’s funny (smile). A3► I have a pet dog named Chappy who is a mixture of a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier, and he’s black and white. That’s why if you say “black” it makes me think of Chappy. A4►An angelic girl can imagine things that no one else can. I’d like that kind of girl. A girl whose somewhat warm and cuddly is cute. A5►At my school’s art festival, we do a play. We’re still in the voting stage, but I hope that I’ll get to be in charge of scenery. When I was in elementary school and I had a role in the play, I forgot my lines (smile).
Rei Wakiyama: A1►If some kind of trouble happens, I’m the type who panics for an instant and then calms down and begins solving the problem. Because of that you could say that I have a cool or composed personality, probably. A2►Saneyasu. You could say that he’s cool, or that he’s always daydreaming (smile). Moreover he’s more shy than I am, so it seems like it’d take him longer to become open to opens. A3►Me (smile). Because I always wear black-like clothes. Even though sometimes I wear a white t shirt, I match it with a black vest over it so there’s always black taking over. Another thing is, if you talked about the color of KAT-TUN or Kis-my-ft2, they have a black image. Because they’re mature, cool, and handsome. A4►Angel type girls are good. Because they have a cute feeling, somehow. Also girls who can have conversations about a lot of things are good. A5►Before this, I went to an indoor court and played soccer. I love moving my body, so it was a ton of fun!
Kei Kurita: A1►The part of me that’s cool is… There isn’t any (smile). Especially in school, I’m always making a lot of noise for no reason. However, if a little accident happens at a concert or something, I become unexpectedly calm and am able to solve the problem. Maybe that’s because I’m conscious of the atmosphere? A2►Saneyasu-kun. He usually never makes a lot of noise, and I think the way his facial expression doesn’t change is cool, and there are still many parts of him that are mysterious. He’s so calm that you’d never think that we’re in the same grade, right? A3►Bad. Because in movies, the bad guys usually wear black. I also wear a lot of black clothes, but the reason for that is simply because if they get dirty, it doesn’t show. A4►I prefer the angel type. I wouldn’t know what to talk about with a little devil type person… A5►Recently, I’ve been into online computer games. But there have been times where my parents got mad at me for playing for too long, so I have to be careful (smile).
Yuuta Kishi: A1►I probably don’t really have many cool parts. Especially when I’m in concerts or stage-plays, I get really nervous so I can’t be calm. I get so nervous and excited that my own heart pounds so fast that you can hear it. A2►Saneyasu-san, of course! He’s quite cool and mysterious. He probably thinks that he’s just being normal, but lots of people around him think that he’s curious (smile). That’s the interesting thing about him. A3►It has a cool image. By the way, the clothes and accessories that I usually wear are often black. They’re cool, and the way it’s difficult to tell when they get dirty is good. A4►Angel type. It seems like little devil type girls would have a dark image, like they’d have a lot of secrets and would check their cellphones whenever they pleased. A5►Before this, when we were recording a song on [The Shounen Club], I was dancing energetically and my headset fell and I had to grab it quickly (smile). There’s probably nothing cool about me after all, right!?
Fuu Takahashi: A1►Basically, I think I’m reasonably calm. Because when something happens, I don’t get troubled. But before this, when I messed up the timing of a dance and struck a final pose while everyone was still dancing, I panicked a little, as expected (smile). A2►Wakiyama-kun. At first I didn’t know what he was thinking and honestly, it was a little scary (smile). But when I talked to him, he ended up being nice. A3►A cool or sexy image. By the way, I rarely wear black clothes. I prefer clothes that are white, yellow, or other cheerful colors. A4►Maybe a little devil type girl. When I see a girl coolly reading during a break time or something, I think that she’s awesome somehow. A5►I think I want to work harder at my studies. Compared to my first semester, my grade in Japanese has gone down by 1 point, and that’s very regrettable. I must properly balance my junior activities with the rest of my life’s demands!
Ryuuichi Tanimura: A1►Normally, I can’t talk a lot. When I was in the youngest year of elementary school, I talked about meaningless things all the times so one of my friends hit me. Since then, I’ve been like this. My friends tell me that rather than being cool, I’m solemn. A2►Kishi-kun. He’s cheerful and funny but I don’t know his true character and there are many mysteries about him. A3►A place that’s pitch black, where you can’t see anything. If I was in that sort of place, I’d shiver. A4►It seems like an angelic girl would probably cheerfully talk more, so I’d like an angel type girl. But if that’s a prediction about the future, it’s scary (smile). A5►I never know when I’m going to get called for an interview, so I’m always nervous. This interview too, when I suddenly heard about it, I was surprised~.
Ryuuichi Tanimura. Born December 21st, 1998 in Tokyo. Blood type O. Hobby: 3-D puzzles. Favorite Food: Sukiyaki. Favorite Type of Girl: A cheerful girl. Admired Sempai: Sho Sakurai-kun. A Word to the Fans: I’m still very inexperienced but I will give it my all and do my best.
