Okamoto/Morimoto: Yes
Uehara: When we met just moments ago, Morimoto kun gave me this peace sign. We could’ve shown you if this was on TV but since it’s just a radio. We have just started out with series of peace signs but let’s start out with this plan.
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: Okamoto kun, Morimoto kun
Morimoto: Yes
Uehara: Please answer YES or NO for all

5Q「I want to have more solo works in the future」
Uehara: Okamoto kun?
Okamoto: YES
Uehara: Morimoto kun?
Morimoto: No
Uehara: ooh
Okamoto: I had all yeses
Uehara: Okamoto kun had all yeses
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: Looks like Morimoto kun have split into yes and no. Let’s take a look
Okamoto: yes
Uehara: “I wanted to become Johnny’s in the first place” we got two answers. Okamoto kun said Yes.
Okamoto: yes
Uehara: What made you start?
Okamoto: Well, Johnny’s was on TV and I guess I thought they were pretty cool and made me want to join. I talked with my father and in no time
Uehara: It was just an instant
Okamoto: yes
Uehara: Your father came up in the conversation and Okamoto kun’s father is a member of Otokogumi
Okamoto: yes
Uehara: That Okamoto san, correct?
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: I’m in the same generation as him, your father.
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: I’m sorry about that.
Okamoto: It’s fine
Uehara: Next, Morimoto kun said No
Morimoto: Yes
Uehara: You had no intentions?
Morimoto: I was born in Ishikawa-ken
Uehara: Oh
Morimoto: The country side and I had no interest in Johnny’s. I happened to be in Tokyo then and when my parents sent in (resume), I sort of got in.
Uehara: Was that a audition?
Morimoto: Yes
Uehara: I see, and were you more of “eh?” than “YES!!!” when you got accepted?
Morimoto: I was more of “I got in too?”
Uehara: I want to get in too
Morimoto: There was nothing special when I joined, I was only asked if I had anything I wanted to sing by my dance teacher. I guess I rose to the top from there.
Uehara: Then you guys came from a totally different path.
Morimoto: Yeah, I got in on my own so…
Uehara: Getting in on your own and going to the top from there!
Okamoto: yes
Uehara: You two both have someone you can call your rivals. If you can go face to face, who would it be?
Okamoto: Who? I’m more, all the senpai.
Uehara: Johnny’s senpai?
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: What makes them your rivals?
Okamoto: Not rivals but I want to go beyond them.
Uehara: Ah, in popularity, singing and everything?
Okamoto: The looks, everything.
Uehara: What about you, Morimoto kun?
Morimoto: I have a little brother and he’s in Jr. as well.
Uehara: AH really?
Morimoto: Yes. My rival is my brother and he admits that too.
Uehara: The power?
Morimoto: He sees the power and we’re rivalries.
Uehara: I see, your little brother thinks of you as a rival too?
Morimoto: He asks me “why are you the one holding the mike?” and what not
Okamoto: You guys do fight
Morimoto: Yes, he tells me these things all the time
Uehara: Does Okamoto kun hears these fight?
Okamoto: He does have sibling rivalries a lot
Morimoto: I think everyone in Hey!Say!JUMP knows about this.
Uehara: Okay, there are many “stars” from your Johnny’s senpai.
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: Do you have a senpai who you admire or for Okamoto kun a person you want to exceed?
Okamoto: Who I want to especially go beyond?
Uehara: Or someone you admire the most.
Okamoto: Kimura Takuya san
Uehara: Kimutaku san..
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: I see, Morimoto kun?
Morimoto: TOKIO’s Yamaguchi san
Okamoto-Uehara: Ooh
Morimoto: I was able to co-star in a drama with him and he had such an aura or this existence. I found him really cool last year.
Uehara: Got it. Thank you very much. You both had YES on embarrassing mistakes.
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: If you don’t want to say it, you can just say pass.
Okamoto: Ah, but
Uehara: do you have one?
Okamoto: Yes. We had a concert in spring and there was this trampoline
Uehara: On the stage?
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: It was one of the skit in the concert?
Okamoto: Yes, it was one of the skits. I thought of going on it since I don’t usually do. When I jumped up, I just fell.
Uehara: You collapse? And everyone screamed?
Okamoto: No one screamed but the audience in the front laughed
Uehara: You were laughed at?
Okamoto: I was laughed at.
Uehara: I see, what about Morimoto kun? A mistake?
Morimoto: I don’t have much as Hey!Say!JUMP but it was when I just joined as Jr. and had the opportunity to appeared in Music Station. I was only told, I needed to learn the dance move to the chorus. I only learned I need A melody and B melody the day before.
Uehara: You didn’t know it
Morimoto: No, I didn’t know it at all. The dance teacher told me to change spot and made me go to the very side. That’s when I tried to go home because I thought I couldn’t continue any longer and I should’ve just stayed in the country side.
Uehara: Oh
Morimoto: I was stopped.
Uehara: Not to go?
Morimoto: That “why are you going home?”
Uehara: To Ishikawa? You tried going back to Ishikawa?
Morimoto: I said “I can’t do it anymore” “No, no, no! You have to dance”
Uehara: Are the dance teachers strict? There are many staff around like voice trainers too.
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: What do you think, Okamoto san?
Okamoto: The dance teacher is a bit strict. He’s pretty strict.
Uehara: They have a dry smile on their face. I won’t ask you any longer now but let’s do that later. “I want to have more solo works in the future”
Okamoto: Yes
Uehara: Yes/No? Okamoto kun said yes
Okamoto: Yup
Uehara: What are your thoughts? I guess you should since you want to go beyond your senpai you see as rivals.
Okamoto: Yes, I wish to be like that some day.
Uehara: I bet there’s a lot from music, dancing and others. Do you want to challenge on new field other than that?
Okamoto: Umm, yeah. I can speak English.
Uehara: That’s right, where was it England?
Okamoto: I studied abroad there for about 5 years and I hope to use that someday.
Uehara: I see. What about you, Morimoto kun?
Morimoto: I don’t want to alone but to my dream.
Uehara: What’s your dream right now?
Morimoto: A singer-song writer. To sing with my own written lyrics.
Uehara: Oh
Morimoto: And also provide (the group) with my own songs
Uehara: Provide them?
Morimoto: If I sing it, they’ll wonder why I’m singing all the time
Uehara: From your brother
Morimoto: Yes, he does tell me that. I happened to pass by him at home and he called me, so I stopped. Then, he said “do you think it’s all right for you to sing all the time?” so that’s when I thought of providing the song for everyone instead of having me sing them.
Uehara: I see
Morimoto: That’s why I want to be a singer-song writer
Uehara: Do you want to provide them to your little brother?
Morimoto: Nope
Uehara: No? I can sense that. Going off topic but does your personality change when you’re alone as Okamoto kun or Morimoto kun than when you’re with a group… Hey!Say!JUMP.
Morimoto: I change quite a lot
Uehara: Oh!
Okamoto: Me too
Uehara: Quite a lot?
Okamoto: With school and JUMP
Uehara: How are you guys in JUMP then? Quiet, cool, and depending on situations?
Morimoto: They talk to me a lot when our eyes meet
Uehara: You don’t seem like a 13 year old, Morimoto kun.
Morimoto: I get that a lot.
Uehara: You’re like an adult
Morimoto: I get that a lot too
Uehara: For Okamoto kun, you’re funny and sort of playful even though you’re older. I see. We’d like to have them stay around after the CM.
To the person who asked for this request: Do you mind if I share the radio link here? I don't remember where you commented .. xD
