This month's theme was moments. He talks about a moment when he entered Johnny's, a recent moment of his choice, a moment he witnessed of another member, what he thinks when he hears "the moment I am in love", and some recent events.
A surprising encounter the moment you entered Johnny's
When they had decided on the people who passed and seated them during my audition, I turned to look at the person sitting next to me, and I thought "Uwa, he's an extremely amazing idol-like person." That person was Shige, who was already a Junior (laughs). He had a sparkling aura of "the Johnny's". I thought he would be really popular (laughs).
A recent ____ moment
Children waving. When I look back on it, it makes me smile. When I encounter tiny 2~3-year-old children, I have a habit of unconsciously waving at them (laughs). Additionally, in the hotel in Tokyo, the moment when Hama-chan and I did "an imitation of girls with ducklips" and laughed really hard. While doing the series of "peace sign, open eyes, ducklips" that girls do during the "3, 2, 1, click" in the photo booth, the two of us were having fun doing the imitation and laughing a lot from midnight to 2 in the morning (laughs).
A _____ moment you witnessed about a member
The moment Akito-kun had strange tension. In my hotel room in Okinawa, I witnessed the moment he was almost naked doing air nunchucks (laughs). Okinawa's freedom suddenly came out in him. Hama-chan took a video of it (laughs).
"The moment I am in love." When you hear that, what comes to mind?
The image of a middle school or high school student that wants to fall in love. The moment you fall in love is a student-like moment. Recently I haven't fallen in love (laughs). Probably only with little children. I particularly like the appearance of a 2-3 year old hiding behind their mother. Their embarrassed appearance is cute♡ The other day, when I called the name of a little girl I knew and hugged her, she cried. After that, I returned her to her mom. When I called her name again after a while, she came to me. It was cute♡ I like little kids. Because I'm the youngest, I have no younger siblings, so I long for them. If I had a younger sister or brother, I think I would really cherish them. On the other hand, I haven't thought I want to fall in love recently. The time I spend with friends and the time I spend alone are fulfilling. I want to marry relatively early and live a stable household life (laughs).
Recent status
I want to go on a short trip. To an active place. Okinawa, Miyakojima, Shirahama... and go to the beach or do barbecue for example. I want to do diving this year as well. Last year I had plans to go but I couldn't because of work. So this year for sure! Maybe in Wakayama, I heard being underwater in the ocean there is really beautiful. I'll do my best to go because when August comes it'll be my last summer of being a teenager (laughs)!
