Nakajima Kento
I’d like to challenge sky diving together with Sexy Zone. I want to see how horrible the member’s face is when they nose dive from the sky! I’d like to have a variety show that will bring the members’ real face. Personally, I’d like to appear in a sports variety show. If it is a soccer showdown, I have confidence because I was a goalkeeper up to middle high school. I’m good in receiving a ball that comes from the front~ (laughs). (But) the one I am interested in is a golf showdown. Regarding my golfing experience… My dad once dragged me (to the golf driving range) where I just watched him going at it when I was in middle high year 3. For now, I’d better learn the rules, huh. Shall I start working at it by playing a golf game on my phone in my free time? (laughs)
I want to try my hands on remaking jeans. I’ve tried it once before, mixing some materials together and opening some holes. It looked great when I was done with it, but when I put it on, the hole in the knees got so big and it felt kinda cold (laughs). This time, I’d like to make it into a cool design, with skulls and such. I’d like to challenge all kinds of style with fashion. I like to change my image according to where I’m going on that day, or my feelings at that point of time. There are rumors saying it’s just that I simply get bored easily (though). (laughs)
Now, what I am challenging my body and soul is the drama [Bad Boys J]. I am challenging action scenes while undergoing hardships (with it). I am attacking (this drama) with everything that I have learnt from the dramas that I have been on. Sometimes the director would tell me “It’s too much,” or receiving and NG and “One more time”. Every time this happens, I get even more determined (to succeed). It seems that I’m quite the M when it comes to acting (laughs). In the past dramas, I would pay attention in putting in more or pulling back depending on the scenes. But for this time, it’s a character that should not change very much. So when this is presented to me who is having his first leading part, it became a new issue.
(A/N: NG is no good, basically means he needs to redo the scene. And “M” is masochistic.)
Lately I’m filling my relax time with watching movies or reading books. Tom Cruise’s movie [Jack Reacher] (“Outlaw” in Japan) was so good that it made me want to copy his sword fight. A novel called [Hidamari no Kanojo] is right up my alley. The book wrapper wrote down [Number one romantic novel that females want males to read], I couldn’t help but read it (after seeing that). (laughs) I was moved by the unexpected ending at the end that could make one cry! I heard that there will be a movie starring Matsumoto Jun-kun and thought that I want to appear in it even if it’s only as an extra… But it turns out that they have cranked up. What a disappointment! When the movie opens, I’ll definitely go and watch ♪
(A/N: I don’t really remember any sword fights in Jack Reacher, but I guess fighting scene can pass too. Kento used “tate”, so I left it as sword fight.)
Sato Shori
Rather than challenging something new, all I can think about right now is showing the best stage for our ongoing tour. Hmm… But… I’ve got it! If we can make this tour a success, I want to do a larger-scale tour for the next one. Aiming for a dome-level tour is a given, but I’d like to go at it as if we’re going to have a 47-perfecture tour! For a personal level, I want to act more. I somehow had a feeling that (this road) isn’t for me when I was doing the previous drama. It’s probably because I didn’t have enough confidence in my own acting skills. (But) I love acting and so I want to gain experience and get better in it.
I want to challenge building my body. I cannot think of anything else, so I’ll put it as this (laughs). There should be no harm in putting on some amount of muscles that a boy should have, right? First, what should I do to obtain that? Muscle training? I don’t do muscle training because I hate tiresome stuff~ During the [Johnny’s World] period, all I did was being in charge of playing the BGM while watching Fuma-kun and Kishi (Yuta) doing their muscle training. But well… I’ll start on working on the muscles li~ghtly.
I have been writing lyrics up till yesterday. (I was working on) the song [Onaji sora no shita] (Under the same sky) that will be performed on the tour. I started working on the part that is the foundation of the song while thinking that it’d be good if it can become a (proper) song. And, because it turned out that I’d be receiving solo parts, I briefly finished the song (from start to end) first. Then after I was allowed to choose the melody that fits the image (I have), I modified on the song, and all that was completed last night! Since it’s really freshly finished, I’m so happy I unconsciously grin (when I think about it). It’s a song that I worked on while thinking it’ll be good if I can help with everyone’s worries, even by just a little bit, in this season when many new challenges would appear. I want everyone to look forward to it.
(A/N: Remember that this interview was held in mid-March, and the spring concert started on the 26th March. I had to check that out… And spring is tied with new academic year, new everything year in Japan. University? It starts in spring (April). School is the same way. Work? Most start in April as well. That’s probably what Shori means by challenges in spring.)
I’m exchanging messages with the Kansai Juniors lately. I made the group out of my own accord. There are 4 members, Nishihata (Daigo), Nagase (Ren), Hirano (Sho) and I. Since we are all of the same age, we can talk freely. Even if I say something big, I’ll be forgiven… That was the basis of choosing these members (laughs). When I’m free, I would unreasonably say things like, “Do something interesting~” I’ll say things that make the two seem to be lovey-dovey such as, “Dai-chan is cute. But, Ren is cuter than Dai-chan.” Because of that, they would say, “Shori-kun is 3S (abbreviation of Sato Shori is do-S).” Ah, by the way, Sho still hasn’t replied any of the messages! He probably doesn’t know how to read the messages (laughs).
(A/N: Oh my! Interaction with the kanjuus!! These 3 are in a show called Maido! Jani, by the way. They have had some interaction with Sexy Zone (ie, Shori) from the show. Who knew they’d get close~? xD Ah, Sho is known as a tennen, natural airhead!)
Matsushima So
As Sexy Zone, I want to have dance lessons - even if it is only for once a week - to create a performance in which we can show our dance in a full song without singing in a concert. You can say that it’s simply because I love dancing… Sexy Zone’s dancing skill is not at a level that I can be proud of yet, so I think this is a good target to work on with. Also, I’ve talked about it with Kento-kun (previously), I want to do a drama with all 5 of us. I’m curious as to what kind of performance would the inexperienced me deliver under the pressure of being surrounded by the other 4 who have had a taste (in dramas). I personally want to challenge this!
Studying, it is something I want to do and at the same time it is something that I have to do. Since I’m starting high school in April, I’m thinking of working on turning into a new leaf. I managed to graduate middle school even though I don’t really know what I’m studying; I plan on starting again from the basics.
Right now, I’m in the middle of practicing backflip! In hopes of having my first backflip performance in the national tour, I’ve been working on it for about twice a week in a class-like place since the beginning of February. Thanks to that, I somehow can turn now, but I still get worried when there’s no mat below, and the form is still not quite there yet. Because I don’t want to do a clumsy performance in front of everyone, I still have to practice! The teacher also reassured me saying, “Let’s show (them) Johnny’s best backflip!” … Oh! By the time everyone reads this, the tour has already started huh!! I wonder if I did it~ I’m doubtful~ (bitter smile). But, not many from Sexy Zone can do a backflip, so if I can do it I can say that it is my special skill, right? Perhaps, the day I can do an acrobatic collaboration with Chinen (Yuri)-kun may come…? Just thinking about it is getting my tension high~ Yosh, let’s work hard!
Recently I like to play games during my leisure time. If you’re wondering what kind of game I play, it’s a game where (I’m) living in forest, earning my living through selling the fish I catch. It’s relaxing~ ♪ I’m engrossed with that right now so I don’t really go out to play. The other day, I received a message from Chinen-kun saying, “Let’s go for food to celebrate your entering high school.” But I was thinking about stuff like: “This means Chinen-kun is giving me a treat right? I wonder if it’s okay to let him spoil me… I don’t know of any good restaurants~ What should I talk about if it becomes just the 2 of us…” In the end I couldn’t quite reply to it (perspire).
(A/N: Sou used [甘える] which means to behave like a spoilt child. You can also take it as to accept the kindness. Sou is such a fanboy though, so I used “spoilt” here. I hope Sou did accept the offer in the end and had fun with Chinen!)
