Dance Square Vol. 10 2015.11 Jr Crosstalk: 6 member (ABC Za Special Interview) Part II
Here is part two of the ABC Za Jr crosstalk! I'm so excited to see the ABC Za DVD, even though I have no idea when it comes out xD Probably not for a few more months. I really enjoyed this grouping, so I hope they get to work together again! This second part has the two sort of separate parts of the interview, so they're short.

Shimekake Ryuya x Kawashima Noeru x Teranishi Takuto x Hara Yoshitaka x Moritsugu Ryota x Meguro Ren
Your Favorite Scene within Act I
Ryuya: I’ve already decided that. Tsukada (Ryoichi)-kun’s “Didn’t I already tell everyone they need to have blonde hair!” Even during practice, I love it. It really feels like something that just burst forth from the “Tsuka-chan World.”
Ryota: The fight scene from “Planets” is what I really like. The part where Kawai-kun gets really angry feels real, and it feels like an occurrence that would actually happen within a band. We don’t come out to dance until the end of that scene, so I’m always watching it from the side of the stage.
Ren: For me it’s the scene where we come out for “Kamisama Chance Wo.”
Ryuya: The ACB scene right.
Ren: Yeah, that’s where Nishikiori-san came up with our choreography, and on the top half we’re wearing school uniforms but the bottom half is spandex (laugh). When I entered Johnny’s, I never thought the day would come that I would wear something like that!
Takuto: But among the fans it’s quite popular right.
Ren: Watching their faces at that part makes me happy. How about Tera?
Takuto: The scene where Ryosuke comes back to life. The part where he nonchalantly says “Yo~” is perfect. The part where A.B.C.-Z was only a group of four, I really like how that scene builds! Up until where Hashimoto-kun comes in, it seems like A.B.C.-Z’s real story, and during the first dress rehearsal I actually cried.
Noeru: Although this seems like it’s just because it’s the scene with me in it, but my favorite is playing “Berai Sensei.” In regards to me, for the first time in my life I had the challenge making the audience laugh, and normally I would never guess that I would be a humorous character like that. Having to pretend to endure needing the bathroom, making movements like that (laugh). Although at first that character was super embarrassing, as I continued to make people laugh it became fun, and I feel like the regular me changed too. After all, it’s definitely better to enjoy life no matter what, and I think I learned a lot from this play.
Ryuya: This is my first time hearing that it’s because you need the bathroom (laugh).
Ren: That sort of movement is a bit dangerous right (laugh). How about Hara?
Yoshitaka: Mine is the first scene where Meguro and Shimekake-kun and I appear as just the three of us together. Just one week before the real performances, suddenly we were told to do it, and we worred a lot about what we would do…
Noeru: Even after the real performances had started, every day you three would be practicing right.
Yoshitaka: In that part our characters have to be portrayed well in order to connect to the rest. Although it was super hard, because of that it became a scene I really like.
Favorite Time of Day:
Noeru: The moment when I first wake up in the morning gives the greatest happiness!
Ryuya: Waking up like that is seriously “Noeru-tteru” right (laugh).
Noeru: Yeah, because the time when I’m sleeping is when I replenish my power, so that I can be ready to give it all again. After this, in front of the fans, I can perform in a stage play with the members that I like! Thinking of this, I become happy!
Yoshitaka: “Noeru-tteru” is the best~ (laugh)!
Everyone: Ahahaha!
Ryota: For me, it’s during the train ride in the morning.
Ren: What’s good about it?
Ryota: I like the simplicity of being on the train. I don’t even listen to music. Sometimes I’ll sleep, or read a book. I just like the time where I don’t have to be doing anything in particular.
Ryuya: For me, my days always vary, so I like the time around 1am. Getting in the bath after everything is over, then getting in my bed and watching a drama on my smartphone gives me happiness. Dozing off like that is the best (laugh).
Yoshitaka: For me it’s the morning. Although I’ll need to go to the theatre after going to college, there’s a 15 minute gap where I can lay down on a bench in the courtyard before anything starts, and I like that the best. Even though I still have class and practice after that, it’s a time where I can clear my mind and not think of anything, and it’s really nice.
Ren: I see. Mine is probably after work has finished, and around 9 or 10 before I ride the train home, when I’m just walking to the station. I can see the stars.
Takuto: I’ve never seen Meguro looking at the stars though (laugh).
Ren: If there are people with me, then I don’t do it. Because I don’t want to be told, “You, why are you trying to act cool.” (laugh).
Ryuya: Meguro has a tall stature, so seeing the stars must be easy right.
Takuto: Ah~ Isn’t it probably easier for Meguro to see the stars than Shime?
Noeru: Eh-! That sort of astronomical distance, it can’t be different for such a height difference right (laugh)!
Everyone: Ahahaha!
Takuto: Mine is also when I’m riding the train, on the way back home. I have to sit down though, or secure my own space while I’m riding the train, because there recently I’ve gotten into watching anime. Since the duration of [ABC Za], I’ve been able to finish three series already.
Ryota: So it’s like that!
Takuto: Yeah, there are quite a few anime otakus with Johnny’s Jr, so it’s been fun to hear of and try various recommendations.
