Bay Jump 7/11/2015: Inoo's Birthday
I translated the part from Bay Jump, where Daiki and Yuya answer a fan’s question about how they celebrated Inoo’s birthday.
Q: How did you celebrate Inoo’s birthday? Did you send any messages or presents?
Takaki: For me, we had work together on his birthday, so I thought I’ll congratulate him there, so I didn’t send any mail. There, I said “Happy birthday!” directly to him.
Daiki: I thought sending a birthday message exactly at midnight was too cliche! So I purposely didn’t send anything
Takaki: Oh~ on purpose?
Daiki: When should I send it? At what timing? I kept thinking about it. Then, the next day at work, we were together, and everyone, the staff, gathered around to say “Happy birthday Inoo-kun!” Well, I didn’t say anything on purpose. I didn’t say “Congrats,” not even once!
Takaki: Haha
Daiki: The entire day at work, I didn’t say anything about his birthday. Then on the way home, I was in the same car as Inoo-chan and Chinen.
Takaki: Yeah, yeah
Daiki: First Inoo-chan got out…right after, I texted him, saying “Earlier there were too many people, so I couldn’t really say it.” I just sent that as a word text. And you know, these days, they have voice messaging, where you can record your voice.
Takaki: Oh yeah, they have something like that!
Daiki: So in 6 seconds, I said “Happy birthday”
Takaki: haha
Daiki: So I sent it as a voice text.
Takaki: Did you get a reply?
Daiki: It seems like, he was really happy and saved it?
Takaki: Oh~~
Daiki: But Chinen who was still there got startled. The two of us were silent and then I suddenly said “congrats” into my phone. And he looked at me like “What are you doing? What is this guy doing?”
Takaki: Happy birthday!
Daiki: Once again, happy birthday!
