[Trans] Takaki X Inoo X Arioka crosstalk (TV Station October 2018)
Arioka: The theme for this album is ‘dance’, that’s why there are a lot of songs that can be danced like how we never did until now.
Inoo: We also have the songs that have super intense dance like “BANGER NIGHT”~
Takaki: Usually, it’s hard to remember when the sound doesn’t take the rhythm!
Arioka: The dance formation’s changes are also dramatic and original.
Takaki: Hey! Say! BEST’s song “Sunda Dance” is also a dance song, but it’s different.
Inoo: It’s a Eurobeat type after all. I can now distinguish between Eurobeat and Trance type because Daichan taught me~
Arioka: Since it’s a mixed of different tastes, the finished work become fun. This time, we have solo songs challenge too!
Inoo: Right! My solo song, [Jouken Hansha], with the theme ‘pleasure’, is about my own ordinary days that I drew myself.
Arioka: You are lying (laughs). If it’s really your ordinary days, your stimulus is very strong, right!?
Inoo: I got exposed? (laughs hard). I just want to try to strengthen my habit by emphasizing the impact.
Takaki: For me, the lyrics are about my own dream.
Arioka: A dream that you saw? Ordinary day dream?
Takaki: I took a hint about a story of my dream which I felt real. Like how the title [Daimei no Monogatari (A story without a title)] sounds.
Inoo: Eh, really? So original! About Daichan’s [Bubble Gum], Daichan’s gentle voice fits perfectly with the song’s aura.
Arioka: I tried making it a world view of a pop song based on the bubble gum’s point of view.
Inoo: Cool, bubble gum’s point of view? Uwaa! Look just like Kenji Miyazawa~!
Takaki: Including our individual solo songs, Hey! Say! JUMP can be presented like this too.
Arioka: By the way, regarding the album title [SENSE or LOVE], the sensation? For me, I don’t really think instantly, so it’s definitely sensation!
Takaki: For me, I think it’s the emotion part. Love is important after all (laughs). For example, I think it’s important to look into the view that’s filled with love from the director of a play.
Inoo: For me, of course it’s important too to feel the love or the sentimation but… I choose logical. It is also good to cherish something about sense and artistic insight, but, I’m the type who wants something with reasons.
Takaki: It’s interesting that the three of us have different taste.
Arioka: The tour will be starting at the end of August; there are a lot of things to be looking forward to. By the way, what was a Summer-like thing that you guys do?
Inoo: I went to the beach! Talking about the beach, it would be Takaki, so I invited him by mail, “Don’t you wanna go?”, but he declined me… but I got a gentle reply <3 “There are jellyfishes there, be careful, okay.”
Takaki: I went to Shimanto, Kouchi, and went down the line for the first time.
Arioka: Everyone did something productive~. Me too, I want to do barbecue. I want to bound my life with a memory of the end of summer.
CUTE or COOL?
Inoo: This summer, when we went to Hong Kong, I changed my character to a cute one. So, cute!
Takaki: Why cute character?
Inoo: That’s because, I’m cute (laughs). I was wondering if it’s possible to infiltrate the people in Hong Kong with Inoo = cute character.
Arioka: You want to debut with cute character, starting in Hong Kong?
Inoo: Yes, yes.
Takaki: I’m not in cute category. Cool category?
Inoo: Nope. Takaki is more beautiful that the 1 million worth of Hong Kong night view <3. He’s sexy after all.
Arioka: What was that just now!?
Inoo: Sorry, sorry. Daichan is in cute category. Ah, clumsy category? (laughs)
Arioka: That’s not a character, clumsy is a trait!
