Yabu: This long concert tour is about to end already.
Chinen: This time, the BEST who has always done funny performances during the concert, did a very cool number. That was unexpected.
Hikaru: We had lines to say out too. The first part is always done by Takaki but the other four of us take turns for the second part.
Chinen: How does it feel like for BEST when you all actually do it?
Hikaru: I think it works out.
Yabu: We do want to act cool too. BEST has always been fooling around for five years since debut. (laugh)
Hikaru: How does 7 look at BEST?
Chinen: When BEST does the BEST pose at the end, we have to appear on stage but that pose is really cool. I thought “such a BEST is good too”
Yabu: Basically I like interacting with the members while singing.
Hikaru: I have quite a few interactions with Yabu for our songs.
Yabu: We do. But when you play the bass, I try not to get in your way. If I persistently stick to you, I will be a nuisance to you and your bass. So even when I put my hands around your shoulders, I don’t go on full force, but I quietly put my hand around you gently. Looking at that, I am someone who can do things properly!
Chinen: Eh, is that so!
Hikaru: During “Ai no shubiduwa” too, there are many parts where me and Yabu face each other, and during those parts, I face Yabu and mouth out something like “Yabu, you are disgusting”. I secretly look forward to that each time (laugh)
Yabu: Eh, you say such things during that time?
Hikaru: During performances where there are recordings, I say things like “there are many cameras today ne”, and what I say depends on the day itself. But when I do that, Yabu always just gives me a blank face (laugh)
Yabu: And when I give that face, you have that “Hmph, you don’t understand!” face (laugh)
Chinen: What you wanted to say wasn’t conveyed to Kota at all, but your feelings were (laugh)
Hikaru: I also say things like “You have a lot of sweat today ne”
Yabu: You do say such things? Oh, once you told me “you are cute (kawaii)” right?
Hikaru: Kawaii? ….Ah, that was “kaeru (frog)”. There are days where you seem like a frog (laugh)
Yabu: Damn!!! You said frog~~~~??!
Chinen: Too bad! It is better not to know the truth (laugh)
Yabu: I regret a little now already. For Chinen, I like how Inoo throws the question to the fans during “Come on a my house”. He says “Does everyone want to go to Chinen’s house?” and then Chinen says “Come on a my house” I like that part!
Chinen: He also says like “So many people cant fit into Chinen-san’s house~” But when I say “Come on a my house!”, Ino-chan will follow and say “That’s Chinen-san after all~”
Yabu: Inoo does it in a high tension but nothing changes for Chinen. That “determined and stable Chinen” is irresistible (laugh)
Hikaru: Chinen is like that at times. Even when other members fool around, Chinen has this “I am in my own world” feel.
Yabu: That’s Chinen’s quality. But there are times you fool around too right?
Hikaru: Or rather, isn’t Chinen the one who fools around most during the rehearsals?
Chinen: Ah, the me during rehearsals is like that.
Hikaru: He fools around during all songs… that’s somehow difficult okay? (laugh). You also add in your own detailed robot dance and stuff.
Yabu: Yeah. Even though he is like that during the rehearsals, such a Chinen disappears when the real show starts.
Chinen: Putting it in another way, I fool around during rehearsals so that I don’t do it during the actual performance. I try to make myself get tired of fooling around (laugh)
Yabu: I like the Chinen who is acting cool during Chikutaku.
Chinen: Thank you! Which part does Hika act cool at?
Yabu: During the band song, when he suddenly puts on his glasses. That Hikaru is cool.
Hikaru: Ah, I became a little fashionable (laugh)
Yabu: You seem like “the bassist who can do anything”!
Hikaru: Ahahaha, that’s embarrassing! But actually, I can do anything okay!
Yabu: When I return to the stage from the walkway, I always look at Hikaru and think “so cool”
Hikaru: I do it when I have to… I want to become such a guy.
Chinen: I think the Hika who puts on his hood is cool.
Yabu: Also, during Ride with me. When the intro comes in, and there is a part where you have to lift up one of your legs, that Hikaru’s dance is super cool!
Chinen: Eh, is that so? I was too occupied with myself to see that!
Yabu: If it was me, I would do it this way (stands up and demonstrates). Okay, next Hikaru. (Hikaru does it and shows him) There!! That leg!! So cool!!
Hikaru: I do dance quite actively there. You do look at me properly (laugh)
Yabu: Me and Chinen do our best during this song. We have so many poses but I don’t have a large variety of them, so I really put in my best (laugh)
Chinen: That’s right! I put in a lot of effort there too.
Yabu: But Hikaru stands diagonally across me and I think he has a wide variety of poses. So I always admire him while looking.
Hikaru: Hahaha… I am blushing (laugh). I like Chinen during “order”. This song feels different from our group, but Chinen is good in fitting himself to the music.
Chinen: Thank you! Im happy!
Yabu: Chinen’s dance isn’t habitual and its really beautiful. It is simple but feels close to an original choreography.
Chinen: They do often tell me that it is “close to an original choreography”. But on the other hand, the one who has many habits is…
Yabu: JUMP is basically a group with people who have strong habits right? I am someone like that too, and Ryosuke too, he doesn’t stop at the original limit given.
Hikaru: Keito fails too. There is a dance step where we clench both of our fists and when I look at him closely, his hands are somehow opened weirdly.
Chinen: Yes! Seems like he is holding something (laugh). I once asked Keito, “are you holding eggs?” (laugh)
Hikaru: So JUMP fans, if you intend to memorize our dance steps, it is better to use Chinen as a model.
Yabu: The staff told me this just now, but it seems that there are many scenes where we say our own lines this time in the concert.
Chinen: Ah, that’s probably true! Yuya is the one who says it in BEST songs.
Hikaru: Because Takaki has a good voice
Yabu: That guy really has a good voice. When he sings his part during “Eve”, I always close my eyes while listening to his voice.
Chinen: Yuya’s voice does convey feelings to others. Hika has his own line too.
Hikaru: Ahh, “can I tie you even tighter?”
Yabu: We go with this concept this time. It is better to have such lines.
Hikaru: Speaking of that, Chinen doesn’t say such lines right?
Chinen: I don’t. I only say things like “Come on a my house” and “Yappari kimi ga number 1”. I am the royal idol! (laugh)
Yabu: Ahahaha. The cheerful and refreshing one!
Hikaru: So why not on the last show, you change lines with Takaki? (laugh)
Yabu: No no! It is not like Chinen cannot say sexy lines, but if Yuya says “Come on a my house”, it just sounds dangerous (laugh)
Chinen: He will whisper and say “Come on a my house” in a sexy tone (laugh)?
Yabu: I will be like “this sounds dangerous so I will not go~~” (laugh)
Hikaru: But probably the day will come where Chinen gets to say sexy lines too
Chinen: (Imagining) Uwah, its embarrassing I will probably stumble over my words
Yabu: Eh, so why not we try it during our end of year concerts?
Chinen: I haven’t prepared my heart for it yet, so wait a bit more!
Yabu: I think if one day Chinen says such lines, everyone on the stage and even the fans will think “That Chinen has grown up” (laugh)
Chinen: That part of me might appear somewhere one day. Everyone, please watch out for it (laugh)
