I finished all the contributions for the Tokyo Dome shows with very little time to spare and trying to prioritize, the first contribution is going to be KisuTsuu. It's not even an issue where all members got to do their columns, but I had no time to do more and I didn't really have scans to share either.
I'm running on three hours of sleep, all taken in one hour sessions, so to be honest, my head isn't working too well, so I'm going to keep this short.
18:00!
First day of shows at Tokyo Dome.
Translation. KisuMai's serial in Duet. Members' columns about various things. Nikaido answers a question, Miyata talks about having his heart stolen, and Yokoo talks about something he owns. There is a short report about Ai no Uta no Utaou's press release conference as well as backstage bits from both Duet's spread and KisuMai's calendar.

It seems like the seven members will show us many smiles during 2014 too. From Kitayama’s stage show information to first-out inside stories from the set of the calendar photoshoot! Enjoy them all. This year too, we will bring you the wonderful real faces of the seven of them!

In Tamamori’s place, it is Nikaido’s corner (this month)! Have a lively words of advice.
This Month’s Questioner
Watta
What is a sport you want to do in the winter?
Snowboard!!
“As expected, snowboarding!! The year before the last, I tried it for the first time, and since I had fun, I want to do it this year too. I’ll go with Senga and Miyata, and I’ll take care of not getting hurt. If it seems like I’d get addicted to it, maybe I’ll get ‘my (own) board’♪”, Nikaido answered, having fun. Together with the questioner, Yokoo, it has been decided they will appear in the stage show “Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Daiyonshou Kouhen Gekitotsu” (February 12th - March 2nd / Aoyama Theatre)! Their kouhai, noon boyz, will appear in it too, and our anticipation levels have gone up. Please check the official website at

“Kuu-chan” who won Miyata’s heart in the issue last month appears ♡
The dog, Kuu-chan, who I did a photoshoot with last month, was the best! I’ve met Kuu-chan several times through Duet. I remember doing a photoshoot, going on a walk with her. On the set last month, when I was eating karaage, she came running to me, looking like she really wanted some. She put her front paws up on my knees as I was sitting and scratched, moving and begging for some. If this was my own dog, he’d jump at me with the vigour of “Give them to me!” They probably have different personalities~ I felt really healed~ ♡
Wataru Yokoo's Item Talk
mono story
Continuing this year, we’re showing you the selected items of Yokoo-san who is fashionable ☆
A skull ring. It’s rare right, for me to choose something like this. Actually, I saw an acquaintance of mine with this, and when I said, “It’s cool”, he said, “I made this myself,” so I went, “Seriously!?” and asked him for one (laughs). I had him put a ♡ mark into one eye. It’s an one and only ring in this word! I like it so much that I want to wear it the whole time, but I have my dogs at home, so I guess it’s limited to when I go out.
The year 2014, Kitayama Hiromitsu starts it with a musical!
The production press conference for the musical “Ai no Uta wo Utaou” (January 10th - 21st / Tokyo, Toukyuu Theatre Orb, January 25th - February 2nd / Osaka, Orlix Theatre), which Kitayama Hiromitsu is part of, had been held. With script by Suzuki Osamu-san, direction by Miyamoto Amon-san, and music by Makihara Noriyuki-san, the production team is extravagant! The cast, from Kitayama to Yamaguchi Tomomitsu-san to Johnny’s Juniors’ Takada Sho, it’s a line up of notable faces. In regards to “love” which is also in the title, his kouhai, Takada, talked about the birthday present he received from their daisenpai, Kusanagi-san who he has worked with previously, which was filled with “senpai love” and Kitayama was shocked. There was a moment he panicked too when Takada said, “Kitayama-kun too…(laughs).” We have hopes in his high enthusiasm when he said, “With this work, I think something about me will change as well. I will do my best so that the audience will feel warm and fuzzy.”
(captions on photos)
Takada: From Kusanagi-san, a present…
Kitayama: Eeh!!
Kitayama: I have to give him one too then!?
UraTsuu!?
[Note: Ura means behind/backstage, and tsuu is the short form for tsuushin/correspondence.]
This month’s theme is “smile”. In response to the request of “A pose to beg at readers!”, it became full of individuality from Miyata crying, “Give me!” to Nikaido saying, “Please!” and so serious to the point that his face couldn’t be seens. The one who said, “I’m bad at it thought~” when Duet begged him for a wink shot, and puffed up his cheeks, sulking, was Kitayama. Fujigaya and Senga said, “You’re aiming for cute, right? (laughs)” and posed for us cutely. After the photoshoot, the one who used up all his strength was Yokoo, but with a call from Tamamori, he went, “Hai!” and withdrew quickly...this year too, the seven of them are energetic☆

Miyata: Give me!
Nikaido: Give me please!
Yokoo: I can’t move anymore!
Tamamori: Watta, you’re in the way (laughs)
Yokoo: Hai! I’ll get out of the way immediately!

Fujigaya ← The person who took sleep over food
● The photoshoot for “Kis-My-Ft2 Daily Calendar” which started early in the morning. Just before noon, Yokoo who was a bit hungry, came to the kitchen of the studio and said, “Can I make something?” and started to cook. From the food used for the photoshoot, he found some leftover ingredients, saying, “Let’s fry them♪” and grabbed a frying pan. Nikaido, who was in the middle of his photoshoot next to him, noticed the smell of the cooked sausages, begged, “Make some for me too!” Though he was smiling wryly at Nikaido’s selfish request, Yokoo made more... Thanks to that, members of the “snitching food party” which appeared one after the other were chewing and smiling happily ♡
● “There’s bread, eggs, and milk too,” he said, so he tried to make French toast too. He didn’t use enough sugar, so he adjusted the amount by sprinkling some on afterwards. “It’s good enough,” and Yokoo was satisfied. The one who shouted to him, “The other day, we ate super delicious French toast together, yea!” was Fujigaya, who was rolling around on the sofa, watching the kitchen. When said Fujigaya actually fell asleep, the second cook, Kitayama appeared, saying, “I’m going to make bacon and eggs.” As to how Kitayama enjoyed his bacon and eggs, you’ll see it next issue!?
Hope people enjoyed this.
