Kaoru Kuramoto
A1. When I think that when I become a middle school student, I’d have to wear uniforms like this, I kind of feel bad (laughs). Shori-kun looks really good in it. It must be because he’s a middle school student.
A2. I’m still an elementary school student, so I don’t really have much experience of school festivals and those kinds of events. When it’s my turn to do the school festival, I want to form a band and play a song that I made myself!
A3. Band! Mariusu is keyboard, and So-kun is guitar number one. Shori-kun is guitar number two. Haniuda is drums. Vocal is Shori-kun and So-kun, because they’re good singers. I want to play base and sing the B melody solo.
A4. “Raku” (meaning “fun”). Because it’s fun. I’m looking forward to the school festival, and the shooting is fun too, so there’s a double meaning.
A5. On the day of the location shoot for “Johnny’s Jr. land”, I didn’t feel well, so I was absent. I participated in the studio recording though. Kento-kun and Fuuma-kun led us, so I felt confident!
Amu Haniuda
A1. My school’s uniform is really bland, so I thought this was really fashionable. It was the first time I had my hair done this way too. I was afraid if it will suit me, but Shori-kun told me, “You look good,” and I felt better.
A2. I had to turn in a picture or a report for school, but I realized the day before that the due date was tomorrow! I quickly drew a pencil drawing of a mountain that I saw during our school trip. Among everyone else’s elaborate pieces, mine was a black mountain… (laughs). It stood out because it was so horrible.
A3. I want to do comedy. I’m not good at talking, so if I were to pick a partner, it would be Kuramoto-chan. If we separate into a few teams and had a comedy battle, I think it’ll be fun!
A4. “Yutaka” (meaning abundant). We are all unique and abundant in personality, so I think that this character is perfect.
A5. Recently, the amount of fan letters is beginning to increase. When I have time, I write back!
Mariusu Yo
A1. At first, I thought, “For what reason do we have to wear this stuffy tie?” (laughs). After I put it on, it actually looks good and makes me look mature, so I like it.
A2. I’ve acted as the main character in the school play! I nominated myself and wrote a letter to the teacher proclaiming the reason why. I was the giraffe. It was embarrassing, but I also had a solo song and it was fun. I was praised by the principal, and he said I had a lot of courage.
A3. I want to stand onstage and tell scary stories. The fans would scream and stuff. I’m not very good at it, so they might laugh at me though.
A4. “Tomo” (meaning friend). Because it’ll be with five people who I’m friendly with!
A5. I was picked to be in “Kis-My-Ft2 with Johnny’s Jr.”, and I’m excited and nervous. Fujigaya (Taisuke)-kun is a really kind senior, so I’ll be happy if I have a scene together with him.
Shori Sato
A1. It’s kind of like the expensive uniform that Ninomiya-kun wore in “Yamada Taro Monogatari”. My school uniform is completely black, so this felt refreshing.
A2. I’ve been the conductor of the choir competition at school. And at this year’s school festival, I’m going to play Kanjani Eight’s “LIFE ~Me No Mae No Mukou E~” with a band! I’m in charge of the guitar. I began playing guitar a little while before summer. There’s not much time to practice together, but I have to work hard!
A3. A takoyaki shop with everyone! I don’t really want to do comedy, but if everyone else wants to do it, then I will (laughs).
A4. “Kyoku” (meaning extreme). I think everyone will try to do their best, thinking that their booth will be the best one of them all.
A5. I went to the beach with my friends. We surfed, and it was a fulfilling experience. It was really fun! I was able to play to my heart’s content, and I’m glad that I was able to refresh.
So Matsushima
A1. You can’t see uniforms unless you go to the same school, so I’m glad I got to see the other four in uniform! I think my preference is to not open the second button.
A2. There’s going to be a choir competition soon, and I’m going to be the conductor. The person in charge of playing the piano is my friend who I admire. He’s a guy but can play the piano and tries his best at both studies and club activities. I can’t wait to work together with him!
A3. A restaurant that mixes different kinds of food to make and serve something delicious. The shopkeeper will be Mariusu-kun, and Kuramoto-chan will be in charge of PR. Haniuda and I will cook. Shori-kun has the image of tying a towel around his head and working hard to build the shop for us.
A4 .”Yume” (meaning dream). I’d get to build a shop of my dreams, so it’ll be a dream-come-true school festival!
A5. Since “SUMMARY~”, I was able to become friendly with Chinen (Yuri)-kun, who I’ve always admired! He was also born in Shizuoka, and even our birthdays are close by
