Kis-My-Ft2 - Duet April 2012
Happy Birthday, Taisuke!
Last year, I did a shorter countdown with various contributions, but this year is much longer! I'm glad I managed to post all these things though. It seems like I'll have enough stuff to share though, so I'll continue posting stuff until Miyagi shows on Sunday!
I always say this, but it doesn't feel like it's been more than a few years since I started liking KisuMai. Sometimes, I still wonder how all members are their ages already.
I hope Tai-chan has a nice day, no matter what his schedule consists of~

Kis-My-Ft2
Commemoration of their 3rd Single and 1st Album Release
Special Talk Session
Life is Music♪♪
After releasing their 3rd single “SHE! HER! HER!” (March 21st) and 1st album “Kis-My-1st” (March 28th), from April 1st, their live tour they will GO! We’re bringing you the seven members’ love talk about “sounds” and “music”♪
UraKisu [Note: Ura means behind the scenes here, so this is just a title giving to the sections they talk about behind the scenes stuff.]
Miyata’s current obsession is “sauna”. “When you sweat, you can get rid of swelling, and I like wide tubs too. I also invited Senga and Nikaido, and the three of us went together. Senga doesn’t like cold baths though, so he doesn’t go in them. Perhaps because of that, he was down for a bit (laughs)”. For his next day off, “I’m planning for sauna♪” and Miyata gave us a smile.
Kitayama Hiromitsu
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
I like summer-like sounds. Like the sounds of waves and wind chimes. With the sounds of waves, I guess I like closing my eyes and listen to just the sounds. Even when I feel troubled over something...I say that, though I’m not really the type to feel troubled, but while listening to the sounds of waves, if it’s small worries, then they become trivial. It’s like “Ah well,” and I can think positively. What I hate is the sounds of scratching the blackboard. I was a mischievous kid when I was about elementary school age, but because I hated it myself, scratching the blackboard was the only prank I didn’t play (laughs).
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
All the songs are full of memories and I have a lot that I like. It’s all of them. There are people who say, “I don’t really listen to my own songs,” but I purposely listen to them. That’s because if I don’t like them, I won’t be able to get people to think, “That’s nice~”, right? Right now, I guess it’s the new song “SHE! HER! HER!” But I like “Love is you” too, and “Smile” is also good. The melody and lyrics are both good, but more than anything, the fact that “It wasn’t like any other KisuMai songs up until now,” was good about it. Thanks to having done this song, I found out that this kind of song would become KisuMai’s colour too.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
About 1000 songs. R&B, hip hop, J-pop, I listen to anything. Lately, I often listen to Musiq Soulchild and R&B love song collections.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
When I can hear Miyata’s laughter, I’d think, “It’s peaceful” (laughs).
Tamamori Yuuta
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
What I like is the sounds of (his pet flying squirrel) Teto walking. Since Teto is small, I’d often not notice him if he gets buried in the futon. That’s why there was a time I almost carelessly stepped on him and it was dangerous. When I hear the sounds of Teto walking around and rustling about, I’d think, “He’s over there,” and feel relieved (laughs). Also, I like the sound of “suton” when he lands from flying around. For me, any sounds that Teto makes is healing. The sound I hate is the “kiiiiii” you get when scratching the blackboard. I really don’t like it!
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
“My Love”. I like the medium ballad melody. The song that feels good to sing at concerts is “Fire Beat”. When we sang it at Tokyo Dome, we sang it on this circular set called “KisuMai Circle” while being surrounded by flames. It was hot and the set shook, so it was scary at first, but my tension raised, so it was fun!
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
2220 songs. I think most of them are club music style of western music. Lately, I’m addicted to David Guetta and I keep listening to his songs from the morning. There are a lot of high spirited songs, so my tension would raise.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
The voice of Miyata when he says, “Moe moe kyun ♡”. Compared to liking it though, it has a strong impact, so it lingers in my ears (laughs). During Johnny’s Countdown too, among all the daisenpai who were there, he said, “Moe moe kyun ♡”, right? I thought, “He’s daring~”
UraKisu
Yokoo showed us his bag, saying, “I just bought this three days ago.” (Check P.146 too) It was a neat bag, but it was filled inside! “There’s a set of clothes in there too (laughs),” and Yokoo’s bag with everything in it is powering up every day!?
UraKisu
“I went to a reunion for the soccer team from when I was in high school. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve met everyone. There were people who have married and I really felt that our age is ‘a year of turning points’,” Kitayama said. “Variety shows are seriously a battefield. You must read ahead and give your comments,” and while he is feeling the difficulty, he was a 26 years old filled with motivation.
Senga Kento
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
The sound I hate is the sound of papers being rubbed together with fingers. (“This?” and we verified it) Uwah! I feel a little down from that just now...(laughs). Since when I was old enough to understand what was going on around me, I have really hated this. I’m still shivering from that just now. Ngyuuu, mou! (in the middle of squirming) In my past life, something must have happened because of the sound of rubbing paper together... The sound I like is the sound of walking on sand. Like “crunch crunch” ♪
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
“My Love”. Among KisuMai’s songs, there’s only this one that’s R&B, and I like the straightforward lyrics too. It’s not just that though. I’m the type to think, “I like this song!” when the melody and lyrics synchronizes in a good way. The feeling of how well-matched “My Love” is, is amazing.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
2159 songs. I like to listen to various genres. I gather the songs I especially listen a lot to and created a folder named, “Favourite Music”. There are 43 songs in it now. There are many Michael Jackson’s songs. The one I listen to the most is “You Rock My World”. It’s a really simple and jazzy song, but it feels like I’m letting go of myself in the end. That’s what makes it a sexy and stylish song.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
Nikaido’s laughing voice. It’s an innocent voice that makes you feel, “Mou~it’s not fair!” (laughs). Every now and then, it’s to the point that by just listening to that laughing voice, I’d get pulled along and laugh too. I like Nikaido’s singing and rapping voice too. He should do more rapping~
Nikaido Takashi
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
The sounds I like are low-pitched sounds. I especially like low bass sounds like those that sound from the bass. With portable music players too, I use headphones that stress low-pitched sounds. What I hate is sounds from when you scratch the blackboard or glass as well as sounds from eating gum noisily. I don’t like sounds that are harsh on the ears.
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
We sing various types of songs, but they’re all good songs with messages to them, so I like them all. Among them though, with “Smile”, we sing that “smiles give people energy,” and I can really sympathize with that. With “Goodbye, Thank You” too, “Now is the time, I want to convey properly” and we sing about the importance of conveying your feelings straightforwardly, so it’s a song I love.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
Mainly J-pop, R&B, and rock, I have 565 songs in it. An artist I have been listening to since I was in junior high school is Mr. Children. Songs like “Hana”, “Hana no Nioi”, and “Shirushi”, I really like. A song I always repeat lately is SMAP-san’s “Boku no Hanbun”! The lyrics are really good and I love it.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
It’s Senga’s voice. His speaking voice, his voice when we’re fooling around together, his laughing voice, I like them all. Just by listening to Senga’s voice, I’d feel happy. Also, I like Miyata’s voice when he’s singing too. It feels sweet and unexpectedly, it’s a beautiful voice, yea? My own voice is low and I don’t really like it, so I’m envious of Miyata’s voice. By the way, the voice I admire is Domoto Tsuyoshi-kun’s!
UraKisu
Tamamori who went on a day trip with his guy friends. “We went to an onsen inn with outdoor baths. Being in an onsen while looking at the snowscape was wonderful. It’s really cold outside, but I want to go again!” and it seemed like he got addicted to onsen trips.
UraKisu
It seemed that there was a bowling match between Nikaido, Tamamori, Miyata, and Senga. According to Nikaido, “With the teams of Tama and me, Miyata and Senga, we went against each other. About 150 to 180. We lost. Tama is good at bowling and he’s the type to get serious when it comes to competitions, so he was a bit miffed (laughs). Is it my fault we lost? ...I’m really sorry!” We’re hoping for a revenge match! ☆
Yokoo Wataru
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
What I like is the sounds of nature. Like the sounds of waves and the sounds of leaves going sasasa, brushing each other from the wind. The chirping of birds resting in those trees too. Also, I like the voices of children you can hear from kindergartens. I also listen to the healing types of CDs with the sounds of waves recorded on then. What I hate is the sounds of motorcycles and cars that echo loudly. I hate sounds that would bother people.
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
“Goodbye, Thank You” is a song that conveys feelings of “thanks”, so I like it. I sing it with feelings of gratitude. Normally, I don’t really listen to our own songs. I’d listen to them before concerts, but basically, I don’t listen to them on purpose. I have a proper reason for that and it’s because I want to always sing them with fresh feelings.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
I think I have over 1000 songs in it. Western music, Japanese music, movie soundtracks, I like to various genres. It’s like songs I hear in CMs or played on the TV, and when I think, “It’s nice,” I’d check them out and the numbers increase. Lately, after watching the DVD “V6 live tour 2011 Sexy. Honey. Bunny!” I often listen to KamiSen’s “12kagetsu”. I’ve always like KamiSen’s songs. They sound good. This song is a mellow type too, but it has rap in it and the lyrics are good too, so I feel that it’s nice.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
...eh? (wry smile) If I have to choose, then Tamamori. His voice on the phone is like something everyone hasn't heard before and it is a slightly wheedling voice.
UraKisu
“I’ll choose one that suits Wataru,” and Fujigaya started choosing a cup for the string telephone. “This one!” and the pattern he chose was hearts on a sky blue background. When he threw it, Yokoo, who was about 5m away, caught that cup beautifully. It’s proof of their friendship, but it wasn’t used in the photoshoot...it’s too bad.
Miyata Toshiya
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
I like the sounds of drums. Due to my appearance in the stage play “Ikemen Desu ne”, I’ve completely become addicted to playing the drums and bought an electronic drum set. When I practise, three hours would pass by in a flash. I don’t really have sounds I hate. I feel irritated from the sound of mosquitoes buzzing around my ears at the most.
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
I like them all. The one I think where the instruments sound nice is “Brand New Season”. It has violin in it and that’s nice. Songs I like and I want tod at the next concerts are “Fire Beat” that can raise the tension, and “Ame” which is a gentle ballad, I guess.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
About 1000 songs. Of course KisuMai’s songs are included, but about 80% are anime songs (laughs). Including the seiyuu Mizuki Nana-san’s songs, I listen to all sorts of anime songs. My favourite lately is the anime “K-ON!”’s “Tenshi ni Fureta yo!”. It’s the song “Houkago Tea Time” (the band formed by the characters in the anime) played on the day of their high school graduation and it’s really moving. I like the younger sister type “Azunyan” (K-ON!’s character) right now (laughs).
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
Everyone has nice voices, so I like them all. Among them, Nikaido has especially good vocal chords (laughs). He does impersonations of various people like SMAP-san, yea? He picks up quickly and he can make various voices, so I’m envious. If I can control my vocal chords like that freely, I’d be able to do impersonations too...
UraKisu
Finding a sax among the props, Senga went, “This is nice! I really thought about learning to play the sax. You know me well (laughs),” and his tension went up quickly.
Fujigaya Taisuke
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
The sounds of calm waves, the music played at amusement parks, and people’s voices. There’s also “voices that make you calm down”. To me, they are the voices of my family and friends. Also, the cheers from all the fans raise my spirits, so I like them. Noises I hate are voices yelling at each other and the sirens of ambulances. Sounds that make me worry and go, “I wonder if things are okay,” I don’t deal well with.
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
One thing or another, it’s “Everybody Go”. It’s our important debut song and as one would expect, it raises my tension. Also, I recall various things from the drama “Ikemen Desu ne”. I also like “Smile” which has a strong message to it. When I see someone in the audience crying when they listen to this song during concerts, I’d casually wonder, “I wonder what flashback of memories that person is having.” When you sing, you’d remember the feelings you had and the scenery at that time in a flash, right? The power of songs is amazing.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
A bit more than 3000 songs. J-pop too, western music too, I have lots in it. When I feel, “I like this song!" and get really addicted to it, I’d just keep listening to that one song...it always happens. Also, there are songs I’d definitely listen to during certain seasons. If it’s winter, it’s Steady & Co.’s “Only Holy Stolry”. It’s a Christmas and love song. I’ve really liked it since I was in junior high school. These songs that are masterpieces to me, I’d definitely play them a lot every year.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
I think Tama’s singing voice is really cute. When I listened to our new song, “SHE! HER! HER!”, I thought, “He sings in a cute way.”
Miyata: We’re releasing our third song “SHE! HER! HER!”♪ Well~ this song is positive!
All: “Positive”~?
Miyata: Ah! I kind of made a mistake (laughs). It’s fresh and it’s a song that anyone who listens can think, “It’s nice”! Yea? Yea!
Senga: Uwah, it’s like a comment made by an honours student, that “If I say this, then I won’t mess up, right?” (laughs).
Miyata: That’s because I’m an idol!
Kitayama: Don’t say “I’m an idol” yourself!
All: Ahahahahaha!
Nikaido: Miyata... (good job sign)
Miyata: Fufufu.
A new song that makes you want to have a fresh kiss♪
Fujigaya: Our new song has many phrases that are repeated, so it’s easy to remember. It’d linger in your ears and it feels like everyone would hum it casually.
Kitayama: It’s also the song’s title, but there’s the phrase “SHE! HER! HER!” in it. In the meaning of the breaths of men and women, “shii haa haa” is the sounds of breathing. Like if a couple listens to it together, they’d want to kiss. Also, it’s a song that is positive towards romance and has fresh brea~th (grins). Even elderly couples, I want people with a precious someone listen to this song and kiss. It’d be nice if they did.
Yokoo: It’s also a song that’s like making a confession. The melody is cheerful and it feels like we can get excited with the audience at concerts.
Tamamori: Isn’t it a song that can be taken in various ways? It’s pretty, but it’s also sexy, so depending on the person listening to it, they can feel various things.
Fujigaya: This time, the PV has a story to it.
Nikaido: There was acting too and the filming was really fun! Other than the members, there were all the extras too.
Senga: It was the first time we did a PV with acting in it and it’s also a first time experience for it to be in comedy style.
Kitayama: Changing the image of it being a song that’s positive about romance, the PV leans towards comedy. There is a gap compared to the song.
Tamamori: Should I say, it betrays your expectations in a good way and I think it’s a PV you can enjoy no matter how many times you watch it. The highlights are “everyone’s expressions”!
Fujigaya: There is comedy, but also serious parts, cute parts; there are various elements in it.
Kitayama: If we say things too detailed, people will stop looking forward to seeing it, so let’s stop around here.
Nikaido: I want them to watch it soon.
Senga: Achoo!
Miyata: Oi, oi, how free~!
Senga: Yea (laughs).
Yokoo: I think it’s a song that makes you want to fall in love if you listen to it!
Kitayama: Oh, Yokoo-san’s course correction. He’s always not shaken.
Yokoo: It’s a song that can make you think, “Let’s work hard”. Couples who are in a rut stuck too...
Kitayama: Right, right, stuck in a rut...
Fujigaya: Nh?
All: Ehhhh! Would anyone say that wrong!? (cracks up)
Yokoo: Huh? Did I say something wrong? (puzzled)
Tamamori: You said “in a rut stuck”. [Note: The phrase Wataru said was supposed to be マンネリ (manneri) but he messed up the order and said ネンマリ (nenmari) instead.]
Miyata: You weren’t trying to get us to laugh?
Fujigaya:Senga: Amazing. Like “kurisotsu”, instead of “manneri”, he said, “nenmari”. [Note: Kurisotsu is a rearrangement of the word “sokkuri” which means just like or splitting image of, and it’s an old way of saying it, like slang. It’d sound weird if I try to put it in English, so I left it as that.]
Nikaido: As expected of Watta!
All: Hahahahahaha!
Yokoo: I make verbal slip-ups quite a bit (composed).
Fujigaya: This isn’t good~ We won’t get any better laughter than this today.
Kitayama: Before the laughing, did we manage to talk about the new song properly?
Tamamori: Ah! For the bonus of the regular edition, there is a “members’ kissing faces mini poster”. Since they’re put in randomly, you don’t know whose you’d get... Also, the person who bought the CD would look at that and think, “I really want to kiss it!”, right? (laughs).
Fujigaya: That poster, yea? Everyone, you can kiss it!
Miyata: Permission to kiss has been given!
Nikaido: Everyone would definitely kiss it! To the point that the mini poster would rip (laughs).
A first album that replaces a business card!
Senga: Then, a week after the release of the single, we’re releasing our first album too! Amazing!
Nikaido: I’m glad~♪
Kitayama: “Album release” is something we have always wanted to do, so being able to do yet another thing, the happiness is great.
Tamamori: Since it’s a chance for people to know about KisuMai anew, I want lots of people to listen to it.
Kitayama: Especially because, isn’t a first album like something that replaces a business card for that group?
Yokoo: Single songs are in it, and there are others that would let people to know us anew, thinking, “Heh~ KisuMai can sing these kinds of songs too”.
Fujigaya: How do you want people who buys it listen to it?
Kitayama: As expected, I want them to listen to it lots before the concerts.
Nikaido: I want them to listen to it while going to work or school too~ Their mornings should definitely get more fun.
Miyata: I want them to play the album from the moment they wake up and listen to it while getting ready in the morning. Like, “KisuMai Mo~rning!”♪
All: Silence...
Senga & Nikaido: “KisuMai Mo~rning” is a no...(laughs).
Miyata: Eh? No?
Tamamori: Well, it’s a happy thing when they listen to it as a part of their lives though.
Yokoo: I recommend it during drives too. I want them to play the album in the car when they go out with their family. Perhaps their dad or mom would say, “This song is nice” “Who are they?” and like this, I want to broaden to everyone. Not just their own family, but I definitely want them to introduce the album to their friends too.
Fujigaya: The album of the artist you like is something you want to recommend to people, yea.
Nikaido: Um, if they have a friend that is a broadcast club member, I definitely want them to recommend to that person! If they play the album during the school’s lunch break or something, wouldn’t that be cool?
Senga: Wah. That’s delighting!
Nikaido: I know right♪
Tamamori: The title “Kis-My-1st” is easy to remember too, so it’s good.
Miyata: The sound of “Kis-My-something” sounds nice and fitting!
Kitayama: The bonus CD is “Kis-My-Zero”. It has original songs we sang before debut recorded on it. It’s nice how it was made as “Zero”.
Fujigaya: It’s nice. In a way, debut is a start, but we count the songs we’ve done before as zero. I like the sense of that.
Yokoo: For songs we have sang since we were Juniors to take form as a CD, it’s a very happy thing for us.
Nikaido: It also means that everyone will come to know various songs.
Miyata: Especially “Inori” and “Fire Beat” were songs representative of KisuMai before our debut. We sang them many times on stage, and they’ve also been turned into ring tones. I think there are many fans who would say, “I like this song”. We’re glad to finally be able to deliver these songs as a CD. Both those who have supported us since before and those who came to like us recently, it is an album that everyone can enjoy.
The live tour carrying dreams ☆
Fujigaya: Right, by getting recorded, songs that up until now “you can listen on TV or at concerts”, you can now listen to them constantly. Moreover, you can listen to it in full on CD. This is surprisingly important.
Nikaido: That’s right. Even for people who knew KisuMai’s songs from before, there will be parts they’d think, “It’s the first time I’ve heard these lyrics.”
Fujigaya: On TV, we often sing only the first verse or a short version. I certainly want to sing full songs at concerts.
Yokoo: Conversely, it’s possible to sing just the second verse too. I feel like we can make an extensive composition of the live tour that starts on April 1st. Since we’re still in the preparatory meeting stage (interview was in early February), I don’t know how the flow of things will turn out, but I’m looking forward to it.
Kitayama: Since we have many new songs, this time’s concerts also feel like “a new challenge”.
Tamamori: Since it’s a tour based on the first album, I also want to make it something commemorable.
Senga: I had really yearned to “do a tour based on an album”. When I backdanced for senpai’s tours, I felt envious while dancing in the back. To be able to do this ourselves, I’m overcoming with emotions.
Nikaido: I want to fun things and new things at the concerts. I want more people who don’t know about KisuMai to come.
Senga: For the concerts up until now, there were probably many people in the audience who “heard for the first time at the venue” the original songs like “Inori” and “3D Girl”. This time though, by releasing the album first, everyone can come after learning the songs, so that’s a strong point. It’d be nice for them to have fun with us together.
Fujigaya: Everyone will definitely learn and remember the album songs, right? Let’s treasure the sense of unity.
Nikaido: Everyone who comes to watch, bring more than 3 t-shirts!
Tamamori: Meaning “Miya-tee”?
Miyata: I get it. They’ll sweat a lot, so it’s a change of clothes, right?
Kitayama: Just how much does everyone plan to get excited? (laughs)
Nikaido: That’s because we’ll definitely make it into a concert where you can be noisy♪
Yokoo: The one to bring to it a conclusion is Miyata!
Miyata: Okay! Concerts are something we make with everyone! Buy “SHE! HER! HER!”, buy our first album, then hop, step, ju~mp! Come to our concerts and we want you to enjoy it!
The six: ......
Miyata: H-how is it?
Nikaido: ......(good job sign)
Miyata: Yosh!
All: Yosh! The end! (laughs)
Q What kind of voice do you like for a girl and what are words you want her to say?
A: I don’t know what kind of voice is good, but I want to meet her in a way that feels it’s fated. Like “When I walked around the park I always go to, the girl is sitting on a bench, thinking of confessing to me”? (laughs) “Ohhh, what’s up? What a coincidence” “Ah, actually today, I have something I want to tell you...we ended up meeting before I called you out”, something like that. Unexpected, surprise attack, coincidence, it makes you feel it’s fated, right? If I was told, “I like you” in those situations, my chest would tighten a bit. (by Kento)
A: A kind voice that can make me feel femininity is good. I’m attracted to voices that are natural and not faked. When we go eat together and look at the menu, not “I want to eat this!”, but if she asked me kindly, “What are you going to eat?”, I think my chest would tighten. Well, if I talk to the girl I like with just the two of us, my heart would beat faster no matter what she says to me (laughs). (by Yuuta)
A: Since White Day is near, maybe I’ll make the setting White Day. I’ll give that girl my return present for the chocolates I received for Valentine’s Day, so I want her to say in a sweet voice, “Thank you”. Ah, it’s a sweet voice, but it’d be good if it’s a voice that feels a bit nervous, including a thumping feel. (by Hiromitsu)
A: My chest would tighten at a high-pitched-ish anime voice. I’m basically weak towards voices. For anime too, compared to characters’ personalities, I come to like to their voices. For example, I’d watch several anime, and in each of them, the character that I think, “She’s cute,” they’d be done by the same seiyuu. If I was told in by a cold way by the owner of a younger sister type of voice, “I didn’t do it for you,” it’s moe moe kyun ♡ (laughs). (by Toshiya)
A: A cute anime voice is nice, but a little mature-like female voice is nice too. I think I like both. If I’m given kind words, it’d strike home with me. For example, when I have a cold, if I was asked, “Are you okay? Shall I make you some rice porridge?”, I’d be happy. If she was worried about me, I’d feel conscious of her. Since I’m bad with waking up, I also have a wish of being waken up by her in a slightly angered way, saying, “It’s morning!” (laughs). (by Takashi)
A: I like the voice of when someone is waking up. That’s why it’s “Morning,” after waking up. A voice that no matter who hears, they’d know that the person just woke up is good. On the other hand, saying “Good night” in a sleepy voice is good too. I re~ally voices that sound half asleep!! (by Taisuke)
A: I don’t have an ideal for a girl’s voice and words (laughs). Words I want to be told though are “thank you”. They’re good words and they’re words that would brighten everyone’s hearts, right? I don’t want to become someone who can’t even say “thank you”. If I was told, “Thank you,” in a happy voice, I’d feel happy myself too, and I think the person who said it would definitely feel happy him or herself too. (by Wataru)
More instances of the boys being dorks, lol.
Seriously, all articles after debut are so long!
Hope people enjoyed this~
Last year, I did a shorter countdown with various contributions, but this year is much longer! I'm glad I managed to post all these things though. It seems like I'll have enough stuff to share though, so I'll continue posting stuff until Miyagi shows on Sunday!
I always say this, but it doesn't feel like it's been more than a few years since I started liking KisuMai. Sometimes, I still wonder how all members are their ages already.
I hope Tai-chan has a nice day, no matter what his schedule consists of~

After releasing their 3rd single “SHE! HER! HER!” (March 21st) and 1st album “Kis-My-1st” (March 28th), from April 1st, their live tour they will GO! We’re bringing you the seven members’ love talk about “sounds” and “music”♪
UraKisu [Note: Ura means behind the scenes here, so this is just a title giving to the sections they talk about behind the scenes stuff.]
Miyata’s current obsession is “sauna”. “When you sweat, you can get rid of swelling, and I like wide tubs too. I also invited Senga and Nikaido, and the three of us went together. Senga doesn’t like cold baths though, so he doesn’t go in them. Perhaps because of that, he was down for a bit (laughs)”. For his next day off, “I’m planning for sauna♪” and Miyata gave us a smile.
Kitayama Hiromitsu
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
I like summer-like sounds. Like the sounds of waves and wind chimes. With the sounds of waves, I guess I like closing my eyes and listen to just the sounds. Even when I feel troubled over something...I say that, though I’m not really the type to feel troubled, but while listening to the sounds of waves, if it’s small worries, then they become trivial. It’s like “Ah well,” and I can think positively. What I hate is the sounds of scratching the blackboard. I was a mischievous kid when I was about elementary school age, but because I hated it myself, scratching the blackboard was the only prank I didn’t play (laughs).
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
All the songs are full of memories and I have a lot that I like. It’s all of them. There are people who say, “I don’t really listen to my own songs,” but I purposely listen to them. That’s because if I don’t like them, I won’t be able to get people to think, “That’s nice~”, right? Right now, I guess it’s the new song “SHE! HER! HER!” But I like “Love is you” too, and “Smile” is also good. The melody and lyrics are both good, but more than anything, the fact that “It wasn’t like any other KisuMai songs up until now,” was good about it. Thanks to having done this song, I found out that this kind of song would become KisuMai’s colour too.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
About 1000 songs. R&B, hip hop, J-pop, I listen to anything. Lately, I often listen to Musiq Soulchild and R&B love song collections.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
When I can hear Miyata’s laughter, I’d think, “It’s peaceful” (laughs).
Tamamori Yuuta
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
What I like is the sounds of (his pet flying squirrel) Teto walking. Since Teto is small, I’d often not notice him if he gets buried in the futon. That’s why there was a time I almost carelessly stepped on him and it was dangerous. When I hear the sounds of Teto walking around and rustling about, I’d think, “He’s over there,” and feel relieved (laughs). Also, I like the sound of “suton” when he lands from flying around. For me, any sounds that Teto makes is healing. The sound I hate is the “kiiiiii” you get when scratching the blackboard. I really don’t like it!
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
“My Love”. I like the medium ballad melody. The song that feels good to sing at concerts is “Fire Beat”. When we sang it at Tokyo Dome, we sang it on this circular set called “KisuMai Circle” while being surrounded by flames. It was hot and the set shook, so it was scary at first, but my tension raised, so it was fun!
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
2220 songs. I think most of them are club music style of western music. Lately, I’m addicted to David Guetta and I keep listening to his songs from the morning. There are a lot of high spirited songs, so my tension would raise.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
The voice of Miyata when he says, “Moe moe kyun ♡”. Compared to liking it though, it has a strong impact, so it lingers in my ears (laughs). During Johnny’s Countdown too, among all the daisenpai who were there, he said, “Moe moe kyun ♡”, right? I thought, “He’s daring~”
UraKisu
Yokoo showed us his bag, saying, “I just bought this three days ago.” (Check P.146 too) It was a neat bag, but it was filled inside! “There’s a set of clothes in there too (laughs),” and Yokoo’s bag with everything in it is powering up every day!?
UraKisu
“I went to a reunion for the soccer team from when I was in high school. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve met everyone. There were people who have married and I really felt that our age is ‘a year of turning points’,” Kitayama said. “Variety shows are seriously a battefield. You must read ahead and give your comments,” and while he is feeling the difficulty, he was a 26 years old filled with motivation.
Senga Kento
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
The sound I hate is the sound of papers being rubbed together with fingers. (“This?” and we verified it) Uwah! I feel a little down from that just now...(laughs). Since when I was old enough to understand what was going on around me, I have really hated this. I’m still shivering from that just now. Ngyuuu, mou! (in the middle of squirming) In my past life, something must have happened because of the sound of rubbing paper together... The sound I like is the sound of walking on sand. Like “crunch crunch” ♪
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
“My Love”. Among KisuMai’s songs, there’s only this one that’s R&B, and I like the straightforward lyrics too. It’s not just that though. I’m the type to think, “I like this song!” when the melody and lyrics synchronizes in a good way. The feeling of how well-matched “My Love” is, is amazing.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
2159 songs. I like to listen to various genres. I gather the songs I especially listen a lot to and created a folder named, “Favourite Music”. There are 43 songs in it now. There are many Michael Jackson’s songs. The one I listen to the most is “You Rock My World”. It’s a really simple and jazzy song, but it feels like I’m letting go of myself in the end. That’s what makes it a sexy and stylish song.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
Nikaido’s laughing voice. It’s an innocent voice that makes you feel, “Mou~it’s not fair!” (laughs). Every now and then, it’s to the point that by just listening to that laughing voice, I’d get pulled along and laugh too. I like Nikaido’s singing and rapping voice too. He should do more rapping~
Nikaido Takashi
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
The sounds I like are low-pitched sounds. I especially like low bass sounds like those that sound from the bass. With portable music players too, I use headphones that stress low-pitched sounds. What I hate is sounds from when you scratch the blackboard or glass as well as sounds from eating gum noisily. I don’t like sounds that are harsh on the ears.
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
We sing various types of songs, but they’re all good songs with messages to them, so I like them all. Among them though, with “Smile”, we sing that “smiles give people energy,” and I can really sympathize with that. With “Goodbye, Thank You” too, “Now is the time, I want to convey properly” and we sing about the importance of conveying your feelings straightforwardly, so it’s a song I love.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
Mainly J-pop, R&B, and rock, I have 565 songs in it. An artist I have been listening to since I was in junior high school is Mr. Children. Songs like “Hana”, “Hana no Nioi”, and “Shirushi”, I really like. A song I always repeat lately is SMAP-san’s “Boku no Hanbun”! The lyrics are really good and I love it.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
It’s Senga’s voice. His speaking voice, his voice when we’re fooling around together, his laughing voice, I like them all. Just by listening to Senga’s voice, I’d feel happy. Also, I like Miyata’s voice when he’s singing too. It feels sweet and unexpectedly, it’s a beautiful voice, yea? My own voice is low and I don’t really like it, so I’m envious of Miyata’s voice. By the way, the voice I admire is Domoto Tsuyoshi-kun’s!
UraKisu
Tamamori who went on a day trip with his guy friends. “We went to an onsen inn with outdoor baths. Being in an onsen while looking at the snowscape was wonderful. It’s really cold outside, but I want to go again!” and it seemed like he got addicted to onsen trips.
UraKisu
It seemed that there was a bowling match between Nikaido, Tamamori, Miyata, and Senga. According to Nikaido, “With the teams of Tama and me, Miyata and Senga, we went against each other. About 150 to 180. We lost. Tama is good at bowling and he’s the type to get serious when it comes to competitions, so he was a bit miffed (laughs). Is it my fault we lost? ...I’m really sorry!” We’re hoping for a revenge match! ☆
Yokoo Wataru
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
What I like is the sounds of nature. Like the sounds of waves and the sounds of leaves going sasasa, brushing each other from the wind. The chirping of birds resting in those trees too. Also, I like the voices of children you can hear from kindergartens. I also listen to the healing types of CDs with the sounds of waves recorded on then. What I hate is the sounds of motorcycles and cars that echo loudly. I hate sounds that would bother people.
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
“Goodbye, Thank You” is a song that conveys feelings of “thanks”, so I like it. I sing it with feelings of gratitude. Normally, I don’t really listen to our own songs. I’d listen to them before concerts, but basically, I don’t listen to them on purpose. I have a proper reason for that and it’s because I want to always sing them with fresh feelings.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
I think I have over 1000 songs in it. Western music, Japanese music, movie soundtracks, I like to various genres. It’s like songs I hear in CMs or played on the TV, and when I think, “It’s nice,” I’d check them out and the numbers increase. Lately, after watching the DVD “V6 live tour 2011 Sexy. Honey. Bunny!” I often listen to KamiSen’s “12kagetsu”. I’ve always like KamiSen’s songs. They sound good. This song is a mellow type too, but it has rap in it and the lyrics are good too, so I feel that it’s nice.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
...eh? (wry smile) If I have to choose, then Tamamori. His voice on the phone is like something everyone hasn't heard before and it is a slightly wheedling voice.
UraKisu
“I’ll choose one that suits Wataru,” and Fujigaya started choosing a cup for the string telephone. “This one!” and the pattern he chose was hearts on a sky blue background. When he threw it, Yokoo, who was about 5m away, caught that cup beautifully. It’s proof of their friendship, but it wasn’t used in the photoshoot...it’s too bad.
Miyata Toshiya
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
I like the sounds of drums. Due to my appearance in the stage play “Ikemen Desu ne”, I’ve completely become addicted to playing the drums and bought an electronic drum set. When I practise, three hours would pass by in a flash. I don’t really have sounds I hate. I feel irritated from the sound of mosquitoes buzzing around my ears at the most.
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
I like them all. The one I think where the instruments sound nice is “Brand New Season”. It has violin in it and that’s nice. Songs I like and I want tod at the next concerts are “Fire Beat” that can raise the tension, and “Ame” which is a gentle ballad, I guess.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
About 1000 songs. Of course KisuMai’s songs are included, but about 80% are anime songs (laughs). Including the seiyuu Mizuki Nana-san’s songs, I listen to all sorts of anime songs. My favourite lately is the anime “K-ON!”’s “Tenshi ni Fureta yo!”. It’s the song “Houkago Tea Time” (the band formed by the characters in the anime) played on the day of their high school graduation and it’s really moving. I like the younger sister type “Azunyan” (K-ON!’s character) right now (laughs).
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
Everyone has nice voices, so I like them all. Among them, Nikaido has especially good vocal chords (laughs). He does impersonations of various people like SMAP-san, yea? He picks up quickly and he can make various voices, so I’m envious. If I can control my vocal chords like that freely, I’d be able to do impersonations too...
UraKisu
Finding a sax among the props, Senga went, “This is nice! I really thought about learning to play the sax. You know me well (laughs),” and his tension went up quickly.
Fujigaya Taisuke
Q1. A sound you like and a sound you hate?
The sounds of calm waves, the music played at amusement parks, and people’s voices. There’s also “voices that make you calm down”. To me, they are the voices of my family and friends. Also, the cheers from all the fans raise my spirits, so I like them. Noises I hate are voices yelling at each other and the sirens of ambulances. Sounds that make me worry and go, “I wonder if things are okay,” I don’t deal well with.
Q2. Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, a song you like is?
One thing or another, it’s “Everybody Go”. It’s our important debut song and as one would expect, it raises my tension. Also, I recall various things from the drama “Ikemen Desu ne”. I also like “Smile” which has a strong message to it. When I see someone in the audience crying when they listen to this song during concerts, I’d casually wonder, “I wonder what flashback of memories that person is having.” When you sing, you’d remember the feelings you had and the scenery at that time in a flash, right? The power of songs is amazing.
Q3. In your portable music player, how many songs are in it?
A bit more than 3000 songs. J-pop too, western music too, I have lots in it. When I feel, “I like this song!" and get really addicted to it, I’d just keep listening to that one song...it always happens. Also, there are songs I’d definitely listen to during certain seasons. If it’s winter, it’s Steady & Co.’s “Only Holy Stolry”. It’s a Christmas and love song. I’ve really liked it since I was in junior high school. These songs that are masterpieces to me, I’d definitely play them a lot every year.
Q4. Among the members, whose voice do you like?
I think Tama’s singing voice is really cute. When I listened to our new song, “SHE! HER! HER!”, I thought, “He sings in a cute way.”
Miyata: We’re releasing our third song “SHE! HER! HER!”♪ Well~ this song is positive!
All: “Positive”~?
Miyata: Ah! I kind of made a mistake (laughs). It’s fresh and it’s a song that anyone who listens can think, “It’s nice”! Yea? Yea!
Senga: Uwah, it’s like a comment made by an honours student, that “If I say this, then I won’t mess up, right?” (laughs).
Miyata: That’s because I’m an idol!
Kitayama: Don’t say “I’m an idol” yourself!
All: Ahahahahaha!
Nikaido: Miyata... (good job sign)
Miyata: Fufufu.
A new song that makes you want to have a fresh kiss♪
Fujigaya: Our new song has many phrases that are repeated, so it’s easy to remember. It’d linger in your ears and it feels like everyone would hum it casually.
Kitayama: It’s also the song’s title, but there’s the phrase “SHE! HER! HER!” in it. In the meaning of the breaths of men and women, “shii haa haa” is the sounds of breathing. Like if a couple listens to it together, they’d want to kiss. Also, it’s a song that is positive towards romance and has fresh brea~th (grins). Even elderly couples, I want people with a precious someone listen to this song and kiss. It’d be nice if they did.
Yokoo: It’s also a song that’s like making a confession. The melody is cheerful and it feels like we can get excited with the audience at concerts.
Tamamori: Isn’t it a song that can be taken in various ways? It’s pretty, but it’s also sexy, so depending on the person listening to it, they can feel various things.
Fujigaya: This time, the PV has a story to it.
Nikaido: There was acting too and the filming was really fun! Other than the members, there were all the extras too.
Senga: It was the first time we did a PV with acting in it and it’s also a first time experience for it to be in comedy style.
Kitayama: Changing the image of it being a song that’s positive about romance, the PV leans towards comedy. There is a gap compared to the song.
Tamamori: Should I say, it betrays your expectations in a good way and I think it’s a PV you can enjoy no matter how many times you watch it. The highlights are “everyone’s expressions”!
Fujigaya: There is comedy, but also serious parts, cute parts; there are various elements in it.
Kitayama: If we say things too detailed, people will stop looking forward to seeing it, so let’s stop around here.
Nikaido: I want them to watch it soon.
Senga: Achoo!
Miyata: Oi, oi, how free~!
Senga: Yea (laughs).
Yokoo: I think it’s a song that makes you want to fall in love if you listen to it!
Kitayama: Oh, Yokoo-san’s course correction. He’s always not shaken.
Yokoo: It’s a song that can make you think, “Let’s work hard”. Couples who are in a rut stuck too...
Kitayama: Right, right, stuck in a rut...
Fujigaya: Nh?
All: Ehhhh! Would anyone say that wrong!? (cracks up)
Yokoo: Huh? Did I say something wrong? (puzzled)
Tamamori: You said “in a rut stuck”. [Note: The phrase Wataru said was supposed to be マンネリ (manneri) but he messed up the order and said ネンマリ (nenmari) instead.]
Miyata: You weren’t trying to get us to laugh?
Fujigaya:Senga: Amazing. Like “kurisotsu”, instead of “manneri”, he said, “nenmari”. [Note: Kurisotsu is a rearrangement of the word “sokkuri” which means just like or splitting image of, and it’s an old way of saying it, like slang. It’d sound weird if I try to put it in English, so I left it as that.]
Nikaido: As expected of Watta!
All: Hahahahahaha!
Yokoo: I make verbal slip-ups quite a bit (composed).
Fujigaya: This isn’t good~ We won’t get any better laughter than this today.
Kitayama: Before the laughing, did we manage to talk about the new song properly?
Tamamori: Ah! For the bonus of the regular edition, there is a “members’ kissing faces mini poster”. Since they’re put in randomly, you don’t know whose you’d get... Also, the person who bought the CD would look at that and think, “I really want to kiss it!”, right? (laughs).
Fujigaya: That poster, yea? Everyone, you can kiss it!
Miyata: Permission to kiss has been given!
Nikaido: Everyone would definitely kiss it! To the point that the mini poster would rip (laughs).
A first album that replaces a business card!
Senga: Then, a week after the release of the single, we’re releasing our first album too! Amazing!
Nikaido: I’m glad~♪
Kitayama: “Album release” is something we have always wanted to do, so being able to do yet another thing, the happiness is great.
Tamamori: Since it’s a chance for people to know about KisuMai anew, I want lots of people to listen to it.
Kitayama: Especially because, isn’t a first album like something that replaces a business card for that group?
Yokoo: Single songs are in it, and there are others that would let people to know us anew, thinking, “Heh~ KisuMai can sing these kinds of songs too”.
Fujigaya: How do you want people who buys it listen to it?
Kitayama: As expected, I want them to listen to it lots before the concerts.
Nikaido: I want them to listen to it while going to work or school too~ Their mornings should definitely get more fun.
Miyata: I want them to play the album from the moment they wake up and listen to it while getting ready in the morning. Like, “KisuMai Mo~rning!”♪
All: Silence...
Senga & Nikaido: “KisuMai Mo~rning” is a no...(laughs).
Miyata: Eh? No?
Tamamori: Well, it’s a happy thing when they listen to it as a part of their lives though.
Yokoo: I recommend it during drives too. I want them to play the album in the car when they go out with their family. Perhaps their dad or mom would say, “This song is nice” “Who are they?” and like this, I want to broaden to everyone. Not just their own family, but I definitely want them to introduce the album to their friends too.
Fujigaya: The album of the artist you like is something you want to recommend to people, yea.
Nikaido: Um, if they have a friend that is a broadcast club member, I definitely want them to recommend to that person! If they play the album during the school’s lunch break or something, wouldn’t that be cool?
Senga: Wah. That’s delighting!
Nikaido: I know right♪
Tamamori: The title “Kis-My-1st” is easy to remember too, so it’s good.
Miyata: The sound of “Kis-My-something” sounds nice and fitting!
Kitayama: The bonus CD is “Kis-My-Zero”. It has original songs we sang before debut recorded on it. It’s nice how it was made as “Zero”.
Fujigaya: It’s nice. In a way, debut is a start, but we count the songs we’ve done before as zero. I like the sense of that.
Yokoo: For songs we have sang since we were Juniors to take form as a CD, it’s a very happy thing for us.
Nikaido: It also means that everyone will come to know various songs.
Miyata: Especially “Inori” and “Fire Beat” were songs representative of KisuMai before our debut. We sang them many times on stage, and they’ve also been turned into ring tones. I think there are many fans who would say, “I like this song”. We’re glad to finally be able to deliver these songs as a CD. Both those who have supported us since before and those who came to like us recently, it is an album that everyone can enjoy.
The live tour carrying dreams ☆
Fujigaya: Right, by getting recorded, songs that up until now “you can listen on TV or at concerts”, you can now listen to them constantly. Moreover, you can listen to it in full on CD. This is surprisingly important.
Nikaido: That’s right. Even for people who knew KisuMai’s songs from before, there will be parts they’d think, “It’s the first time I’ve heard these lyrics.”
Fujigaya: On TV, we often sing only the first verse or a short version. I certainly want to sing full songs at concerts.
Yokoo: Conversely, it’s possible to sing just the second verse too. I feel like we can make an extensive composition of the live tour that starts on April 1st. Since we’re still in the preparatory meeting stage (interview was in early February), I don’t know how the flow of things will turn out, but I’m looking forward to it.
Kitayama: Since we have many new songs, this time’s concerts also feel like “a new challenge”.
Tamamori: Since it’s a tour based on the first album, I also want to make it something commemorable.
Senga: I had really yearned to “do a tour based on an album”. When I backdanced for senpai’s tours, I felt envious while dancing in the back. To be able to do this ourselves, I’m overcoming with emotions.
Nikaido: I want to fun things and new things at the concerts. I want more people who don’t know about KisuMai to come.
Senga: For the concerts up until now, there were probably many people in the audience who “heard for the first time at the venue” the original songs like “Inori” and “3D Girl”. This time though, by releasing the album first, everyone can come after learning the songs, so that’s a strong point. It’d be nice for them to have fun with us together.
Fujigaya: Everyone will definitely learn and remember the album songs, right? Let’s treasure the sense of unity.
Nikaido: Everyone who comes to watch, bring more than 3 t-shirts!
Tamamori: Meaning “Miya-tee”?
Miyata: I get it. They’ll sweat a lot, so it’s a change of clothes, right?
Kitayama: Just how much does everyone plan to get excited? (laughs)
Nikaido: That’s because we’ll definitely make it into a concert where you can be noisy♪
Yokoo: The one to bring to it a conclusion is Miyata!
Miyata: Okay! Concerts are something we make with everyone! Buy “SHE! HER! HER!”, buy our first album, then hop, step, ju~mp! Come to our concerts and we want you to enjoy it!
The six: ......
Miyata: H-how is it?
Nikaido: ......(good job sign)
Miyata: Yosh!
All: Yosh! The end! (laughs)
Q What kind of voice do you like for a girl and what are words you want her to say?
A: I don’t know what kind of voice is good, but I want to meet her in a way that feels it’s fated. Like “When I walked around the park I always go to, the girl is sitting on a bench, thinking of confessing to me”? (laughs) “Ohhh, what’s up? What a coincidence” “Ah, actually today, I have something I want to tell you...we ended up meeting before I called you out”, something like that. Unexpected, surprise attack, coincidence, it makes you feel it’s fated, right? If I was told, “I like you” in those situations, my chest would tighten a bit. (by Kento)
A: A kind voice that can make me feel femininity is good. I’m attracted to voices that are natural and not faked. When we go eat together and look at the menu, not “I want to eat this!”, but if she asked me kindly, “What are you going to eat?”, I think my chest would tighten. Well, if I talk to the girl I like with just the two of us, my heart would beat faster no matter what she says to me (laughs). (by Yuuta)
A: Since White Day is near, maybe I’ll make the setting White Day. I’ll give that girl my return present for the chocolates I received for Valentine’s Day, so I want her to say in a sweet voice, “Thank you”. Ah, it’s a sweet voice, but it’d be good if it’s a voice that feels a bit nervous, including a thumping feel. (by Hiromitsu)
A: My chest would tighten at a high-pitched-ish anime voice. I’m basically weak towards voices. For anime too, compared to characters’ personalities, I come to like to their voices. For example, I’d watch several anime, and in each of them, the character that I think, “She’s cute,” they’d be done by the same seiyuu. If I was told in by a cold way by the owner of a younger sister type of voice, “I didn’t do it for you,” it’s moe moe kyun ♡ (laughs). (by Toshiya)
A: A cute anime voice is nice, but a little mature-like female voice is nice too. I think I like both. If I’m given kind words, it’d strike home with me. For example, when I have a cold, if I was asked, “Are you okay? Shall I make you some rice porridge?”, I’d be happy. If she was worried about me, I’d feel conscious of her. Since I’m bad with waking up, I also have a wish of being waken up by her in a slightly angered way, saying, “It’s morning!” (laughs). (by Takashi)
A: I like the voice of when someone is waking up. That’s why it’s “Morning,” after waking up. A voice that no matter who hears, they’d know that the person just woke up is good. On the other hand, saying “Good night” in a sleepy voice is good too. I re~ally voices that sound half asleep!! (by Taisuke)
A: I don’t have an ideal for a girl’s voice and words (laughs). Words I want to be told though are “thank you”. They’re good words and they’re words that would brighten everyone’s hearts, right? I don’t want to become someone who can’t even say “thank you”. If I was told, “Thank you,” in a happy voice, I’d feel happy myself too, and I think the person who said it would definitely feel happy him or herself too. (by Wataru)
More instances of the boys being dorks, lol.
Seriously, all articles after debut are so long!
Hope people enjoyed this~
