[Translation]Potato 03/2012 Shintaro Morimoto, Juri Tanaka, Yuugo Kouchi
This interview was all about love (ღ˘⌣˘ღ). Shintaro, Juri, and Yuugo each answered four questions relating to romance, and then one question about their current status. Shintaro's youthfulness and naivete shows quite a bit in this interview, as does his manliness. Juri displays his fun side, as well as his shy side. Yuugo's ideal date sounds wonderful, though his realistic attitude towards contacting his girlfriend isn't romantic at all. Please enjoy reading these lovely, love-centric talks.
LOVExLOVE Proposal ♥
We approached these guys who have firmly matured recently about their life-sized philosophy towards true love. With topics such as the course of an ideal date and their real, true answers, there’s no doubt that it’ll make your chest tighten. (This interview was conducted in January)
Q1. Going out with me will have this privilege!
Q2. Tell us the course of your ideal date ☆
Q3. Do you want to be in contact with your girlfriend every day?
Q4. Is it okay if you’re approached by a girl?
Q5. Tell us your current status!
Shintaro Morimoto:
A1. If we were to meet after my Jr. activities were finished, it would be at a late hour, so no one would see that I was your boyfriend! I guess if you kept saying: “I’ve got a boyfriend!” as many times as possible for 10 days, it’d be okay, right? (smile)
A2. Meeting at 11, getting lunch and then going shopping, watching a movie and then going home, stuff like that. I’m indecisive, so no matter how you look at it, I’d never be able to decide by myself.
A3. I want to call 4 or 5 times per week! If we got really into it, it’d turn into a long phone conversation… If that’s impossible, then we’ll text every day.
A4. I’d be happy if she was positive towards me, but of course, as a man, I want it to start from me. If she did confess to me, doing it straightforwardly would be good. Since I am really dense. If she said: “I’ve liked you” then after, I’d go: “seriously!? I’m sorry for not noticing.” (smile)
A5. Every day of winter vacation is… continuing to do homework and continuing to go to Hey!Say!JUMP’s concerts. Since the funny mood-maker Juri Tanaka is there, backstage is also fun and I don’t get tired.
Juri Tanaka:
A1. I love talking, so even if we don’t go anywhere special, we’ll have fun!
A2. Just deciding the place and time in advance, and then contacting each other like: “I’ve almost arrived, I’m coming soon~” and meeting like that would be good. Even though I have a fear of heights, I love amusement park roller coaster-type rides for some reason. If I do get scared, then I burst out into terrified laughter, which I think will be fun for the person next to me (smile).
A3. Since I’m the calling-on-the-phone type, it feels normal to contact each other by phone once a day. You can talk about everything in one go by phone call, so I prefer calling to texting.
A4. It’s cool. Rather, I’d prefer it if it came from her. Since I’m unexpectedly shy, I don’t think I’d be able to respond in that place. So I’d be happy if she told me: “it’s okay if you respond through a text, by tomorrow.”
A5. Jesse Lewis and I are appearing again in the second season of [R no Housoku] (E Television, Wednesday from 6:55 every week). We can’t lose to those guys Shoki Morohoshi and Takayuki Konno who also appear! Our sempai Tatsuya Yamaguchi is also there, and I want to learn a lot of different things.
Yuugo Kouchi:
A1. There’d never be quiet! I can pick up and make a joke out of anything! There would never be an atmosphere of awkward lack of conversation between us.
A2. I’m weak with mornings, so we should meet at 12:30. After eating lunch we’d go shopping, and I’d want us to pick out pair clothing. Strolling lazily along, eating crepes and kebabs as we walk would also be nice ♪ After it got dark, I’d keep her company as we watched the night scenery. There are many beautiful places in my home town. After drinking canned warm coffee in a laid-back way, the feeling of escorting my girlfriend home and saying: “bye-bye” would be ideal.
A3. It depends on my mood. If I’m busy with Junior activities, I’m probably not able to contact her. Texting once a day, maybe. Whichever you say, the reason is because I’m the calling-on-the-phone type.
A4. It’s totally allowed. I want her to appeal to me slowly. Also, it’s cliché but, if I was confessed to 1-on-1, I’d feel it strongly in my heart.
A5. I’m doing my lessons enthusiastically! Also, this year I want to make my snowboarding debut! I’ve gone skiing before, but I’ve never been snowboarding.
