(Colorful & joyful recent state report)
Vivid happiness, come suddenly!!
A fun summer vacation has ended, but with school and their Jr. activities, every day is fulfilling for these members. We had them talk about their happiness-filled every day life. Here's the brilliantly colored recent state reports!
【Fukasawa Tatsuya】
● I think Ryohei also talked about this, but in Jr.BOYS, remaking jeans is a small boom. I used paint and rhinestones, it's pretty flashy. Since I like sparkly things, I've been planning to buy this pretty watch with crystals. But since I haven't had time to go shopping, I've been worrying about what I'll do if it's sold (*laugh*).
● I'm into burning incense in my room. When I sleep surrounded by the sweet scent of coconuts, even my tiredness seems to go away, like it's always a southern country mood ♪
【Watanabe Shota】
● It's been 3 years since I've become a Jr, but it's the first time I've had such a busy summer. Since I'm doing both 『SUMMARY』 and 『PLAYZONE』. Because of them, I feel fulfilled very often. I don't even feel tired. But I'm a simple person. I do things like buy 2 boxes of nutritive drinks and drink it every night. With a 「I'm doing my best!」 mood, it feels good.
● How's my hairstyle today? It's supposed to look like it's really wind-blown. ···eh, it's fresh and suits me? Stop. Or else I'll get caught up in the moment (*laugh*)
【Iwamoto Hikaru】
● For 『PLAYZONE』's dressing room, I'm with Fukka, Shota and Miya-chan (Miyadate) ne. I get teased a whole lot. Saying things like 「By the way, tell us that story where you didn't know you messed up」 to me is common. Shota and I also did a comedy contest. But I won it! With weird faces and doing the suitable sound effects for situations, I won (*laugh*).
● I watch dance DVDs at home ne. Since Ikki also watches the same ones ne. There have been times when we have eye contact on stage and do the same choreography as the DVD.
【Onodera Ikki】
● When 『PLAYZONE』 ends, there's a sense of getting seperated from my precious friends. At the first rehearsal, I was overwhelmed by everyone's dancing, so I couldn't even dance like I wanted to···. But when I did my best and broke through those feelings, it became really fun! I learned many things, it was the best stage.
● During a performance, from Nishikiori (Kazukiyo)-san, all the appearing Juniors got jerseys as presents! The next day, it was fun when all of us wore the same jersey ♪
【Sakuma Daisuke】
● During 『PLAYZONE』, I was taught an acrobatic move called the Swan by Yamamoto Ryuta-kun. It's a move where you spread your legs vertically when you're in the air during a roundoff back flip. Since I tried it and did it right before the show, I did it with vigour during the show too (*laugh*). Right now, I'm practicing the full rear where you turn backwards diagonally. I want to show this off quickly too.
● During the summer break, I went with my older and younger brothers to Kyushu. Since my younger brother and I get into fights about little things like keeping the lights on, we were able to take it easy.
(I hate Sakuma. Looking up and finding the acrobatic moves he was talking about took longer than translating the rest of the interviews put together. |: Lots of love for atarashiiyoake and luma_chan with research on this part. ♥ I included links to videos of the moves for comparison; I'm not an acrobat, though, so I can't be 100% sure if they're the same moves he's talking about. For the difference between the swan and the normal roundoff back flip, luma_chan pointed out that the girl's legs are straight during the second flip of the swan, but more bended in the roundoff back flip - that's our theory, so please correct if wrong! As for the full rear, atarashiiyoake suggested it might be the 'full back' move, which turned into 'full rear' when brought into Japanese language. Japan has to be special!!! But with the way Sakuma described it, he might mean the full back twist. Watch the girl's final flip and how she twists her legs and body. Anyway, that's all. I still hate Sakuma.)
【Abe Ryohei】
● I did a remaking of jeans I don't wear anymore. The first time, I made a mistake with the length and cut it too short, so I realized I should carefully take measurements···. I cut off a crest/logo from another pair of jeans and sewed it on. I'm using a sewing set I used during lessons in elementary school. It'd be convenient if I had a sewing machine, but like this, with a craftsman-like feeling, I'm putting my heart into it using just one needle (*laugh*).
● Lately, my mother and I disagree about my clothing sense. I go through with my own preference, but I still worry about it all day···.
【Miyadate Ryouta】
● The powerstone bracelet I'm wearing today, I made it myself. There's different powers in the stones. Like being able to get closer to my friends and having good health, I chose the stones while being told these by a person who knows a lot about them, then I put them on the rubber. I like doing detailed work. I've given my friends birthday presents made by me too.
● For me, 『SUMMARY』's stage has a lot of memories. Someday, I'd like to try flying!
