Following the theme of the 100th issue of TV Fan, he was asked what he thought each member had 100 points in, what he would do if he had 100 thousand yen, a moment where he thought life was peaceful (this is related to lyrics in their single), and what he wants to do this summer.
What are the member's parts that reach 100 points?
Shige's is his hard work. He thinks about a lot of things. He's the complete opposite of me. Because I'm the kind of person that does things as soon as I think of them. For example, when we have filming work, he'll decide how he wants to be filmed more than anyone else will. I think that's amazing.
Because Junta-kun is the the most older brother-like. He's stable, and he understands his own strengths. And he doesn't neglect them, which is amazing. He's number one at extending his advantages.
Kami-chan's is probably his skill. His unwillingness to lose is 100 points. That's really important for an entertainer, and for life in general. I think it's amazing he can be immersed in anything.
Ryusei's is his stylishness. And I think he's surprisingly stubborn. He has an image of being an airhead and floaty, but he's the most self-assertive. He'll say he's not like that, but he has that feeling when he's studying videos of senpai, and it shows in his performances too. It's rare that Ryusei hurts someone.
Hama-chan's is his atmosphere. It's complete. It envelopes everyone. It's probably very rare that someone dislikes him. And it's not necessarily like he made it that way.
Nozomu's ability to get people to spoil him is 100 points. After all, no matter who spoils him, they will become happy. It's amazing he gets people to do it naturally.
Me? It's a good and bad thing but I do things immediately when I think of them. And when I do it's like it causes everyone else to start running. Well, it doesn't work without the members though.
If you suddenly had 100 thousand yen, what would you do?
I would go on a family trip to the hot springs. My older brother is going to have a child soon, so I want to go with his wife's parents too. I don't want to be greedy, I want to enjoy it with everyone.
What was a moment where you recently felt "how peaceful~"
We're taking care of two ferrets, Todoroki and Cocona, a male and female respectively. The female has just come to our home, but they only play together when I take them out of the cage. Since before, the male has an expression like "this is my house". But when they're chasing each other around, the female is strong. In the world of ferrets, the female is stronger. It's peaceful (laughs). Just watching them is fun. When one enters the tube, the other one waits patiently to enter.
You have a summer without a stage for the first time in a while, what do you want to do?
I want to do a small trip. I would go and return in a day, or in two days and one night. I want to eat udon in Kagawa, and I want to go see Kanazawa.
