{duet} Oct 09 Okamoto, Yaotome, Inoo
Duet October 2009 - Jump’s 100 secrets are OPEN today
Okamoto Keito, Yaotome Hikaru, Inoo Kei
Their heart opened up after having the shoots outside (!?)
We asked the members about their “secret stories”
Inside stories of concert dressing room, revealing stories of members… etc
The most up-to-date JUMP will be exposed!? What you read here is a se-cr-et~♪
About Keito Okamoto
He always says “it’s okay but…” For example, he uses it like “what Yuto picked is great too but I feel like that one today” when we disagree with each other. On top of that, I’m starting to catch it lately! (laughs) (Nakajima)
His face is really close when we talk! Also, he touches my arm all the time. It gets too hot in the summer (laughs). (Yamada)
Surprisingly, he likes to take care of people. Especially when it comes to hairstyles, he comments “I think this one is better” and such right away. Although he’s mostly right on mark (Chinen)
There’s a lot of body touches lately. I have to be on my guard because he sometimes throws a punch when I’m not looking (Morimoto)
Very easily scared. When he was in the bathroom, I tried to scare him by purposely switching the lights off and I heard an unusual scream from inside (laughs). (Arioka)
He’s trying to start something with me lately. Calling me by my first name “Yuya~” on purpose or saying things like “you’re going to do something funny!?” when our eyes meet. I’m not one of those characters! (Takaki)
Quite a talker. When Hikaru, Keito, and I, the three of us have walk together, Keito tries to talk to us about things continuously. Hikaru and I have moments when our mood gets extremely down so maybe he’s trying to make us more cheerily (Inoo)
Try not to raise the volume of your guitar during band practice (laughs). He’s actually quite a show-off and he tries to get laughs during MC in concerts more too. Maybe he’s nervous but he gets quiet when the camera is on him (Yaotome)
Always touching my hair. He combs my hair with his hands saying “Yabu kun, (your hair is) flat in the back~” but it’s just a bed head, please don’t worry about it (laughs) (Yabu)
・You can expect with 10 people that it can be crowded in a car when we move around. If you want to sit by the window or with a room, you have to get to the car once you know we’re moving by car next. I don’t rush since I’m fine anywhere but Chinen and others are incredible. The make a run for it all the time (laughs). But this crowded travel can be exhausting after concerts. When I see (members) leaning and lending each other’s shoulder to sleep on, I feel “we do get along” and that maybe we’re deepening our friendship from this.
・My secret is that, I’m actually very simple-minded. I believe in anything anyone tells me. Even with shishito or celery that I hate, I eat it whenever someone says “it’s good so try it” and regret it afterwards. Just the other day, I had a cut on my leg from a fall and Hikaru kun said jokes like “(the cut) will be infested with bugs” so I was worrying over it for 2 weeks after that!
About Yaotome Hikaru
Acts goofy but quite mature. I felt that more after watching Orthros no Inu. Actor, Yaotome Hikaru is like a whole another person compare to JUMP’s Hikaru kun. I look up to you! (Nakajima)
Sharp person. He uses my hair iron like it’s his. Hikaru kun and I have the same kind of hair iron so it’s hard to tell. When mine’s gone when I want to use it, I realize “that’s mine!” (laughs) (Yamada)
Loves lame puns. Things like “futon ga futton da/ futon blew away” or “toire ni ittoire/ go to the toilette” (Chinen)
The best mood maker out of the member. Even though he purposely yells at me or pretends to punch me sometimes. The way he brings the mood up can be violent sometimes… (tears) (Morimoto)
He teases me when everyone is around but he suddenly treats me nicely when it’s just the two of us. So nice that I sometimes get wrong ideas like “perhaps Hikaru kun likes me!?” (laughs) (Okamoto)
Hooked on puzzle games. When he gets the colors to match, he comes bragging me with this self-conceited face. But (the game) was on my dressing room table the other day so maybe his not hooked on it anymore!?(Arioka)
He makes jokes not only on stages. I like how he replies to my comments with a joke. But when his jokes don’t get many laughs, the mood feels like I failed with him so it’s embarrassing (laughs). (Takaki)
Starting to dress stylishly lately. Changing hair colors and being cute by showing his forehead during summer concerts. By the way, he said his haircut is from fallin love’s Barbie san…!? (Inoo)
He had “volume” in his bangs during summer concerts. I heard it’s a hairstyle that innocence and sprits fused together.
・When I get to the concert venues, we always have a rehearsal before going live. There are a lot of “playful” scenes so it’s full of ad-libs. Yabu would start talking about soccer players, I would inform everyone “I had ___ for breakfast today”, and Dai chan would say dirty jokes (laughs). (Arioka “Hey, I don’t!”) It’s full of nonsense comments, it’s funny.
・My secret is that, I finally learned the dance moves on the first day of the rehearsal (laughs). The drama and rehearsals were weighing me down. I had to make setting up and think of theme for the concert my priority so I didn’t have any time to memorize the moves. To be honest, it was hectic. To describe it in color, the concert is colorful while I had to make this pitch black figure of myself in the drama so my head became completely white to change from one another (laughs). Eh, what if I had another secret? I’d remove it from my memory. Just forget all about it. Because I’m not good at talking to people while keeping things back (laughs).
About Kei Inoo
Has good sense of tsukkomi. Whatever he mumbles is hilarious but I recently discovered his tsukkomi is funny too! (Nakajima)
From his actions to his behavior, he’s a very gibberish person. Though, he says funny things once in a while. He’s definitely not trying to get laughs. Maybe it’s a humor because of how nonsense he is!? (Yamada)
I became aware that he’s JUMP’s best joker. He knows exactly how to make me laugh. (Chinen)
I heard he’s studying Chinese along with architecture in college. He’s smart, funny, and a liar (Morimoto)
He says bunch of gibberish lately~ (laughs). On top of that, he doesn’t say “it’s a joke” or “just kidding” so I end up being the only one believing it till the end! (Okamoto)
Loves sweet corns. It was a salad that I ordered but when there’s sweet corn in it, he picks it out and eats them! But he eats it so appetizingly that I always say “you can eat more” (laughs). I swear, he’s made for gourmet shows. (Arioka)
Has a good vibe somewhere. Like there’s no point in him. I want to have a serious face to face talk with him someday (Takaki)
Surprisingly sensitive. Just like me (laughs). If we’re fooling around and someone says “shut up! (pissed)” seriously, both Inoo chan and I would feel hurt (laughs). (Yaotome)
Seems like he’s enjoying his campus life quite a lot because he spends less time with me! Don’t forget about me~! (Yabu)
・In cars or moving around with JUMP, I’m either talking with everyone or asleep from exhaustion. I lean on someone’s shoulder when I sleep. When I happen to be the only one awake and see everyone sleeping, I think “how cute~” to myself (laughs). After the concert, we have fun talking about it. That reminds me, I couldn’t see them with curtains closed but the fans said “thank you~” when we were leaving the venue in Fukuoka. I hear a lot of “good job/well done” but “thank you” was the first time so I was happy.
・My secret? When I was little, I fell into the school’s rice paddy then lied and said “someone pushed me~”! Because someone might say “what’s up with falling into the rice paddy face first on your own?” (laughs). I think I’m generally a person who keeps secrets. Also, one thing I’m sure is that I’d never tell Dai chan (laughs). Because he would blurt it out by accident.
