The theme for this month was warmth due to the cold season approaching, so they were asked about heartwarming moments and things that make them warm, as well as their recent status. (Interviews were conducted in September)
A heartwarming moment?
When I'm with my nephew or niece, it's heartwarming~. Every time I meet them, I really spoil them with things like "do you want to eat ice cream?" My older sister gets mad at me though (laughs). It can't be helped because they're cute. Moreover, it seems my niece has found out that I'm in Johnny's. She came to see our live and told me "Tomo-kun, you were cool". When she said that, it made me, her uncle, completely devoted to her (laughs). I'm confident that when I have children in the future, I'll be a really kind papa!
Think of a heartwarming episode with the members
For Ryusei's birthday, I thought I'd get him a pair of sunglasses. When I asked him, "which would be good?" he replied, "I'll leave it to you". There was a lot of pressure, but I bought one out of the ones the salesclerk recommended that seemed to suit him the most. I think if it's Ryusei, anything suits him, but if it actually becomes something he uses regularly, I'll definitely be happy.
What kind of warm food do you want to eat when it's cold?
Nabe, right. Because it warms the body, and I like spicy nabe especially, kimchi nabe is good. The warmth and indescribable sweetness of Chinese cabbage kimchi that comes out is the best. It's just... my stomach doesn't handle spicy things well. About 3 hours after eating spicy food, my stomach grumbles... even though I like spicy things, what's with that! My stomach regrets too many things! (laughs)
When do you feel lonely?
Actually, when I'm sleeping, I hug a pillow that I've had since long ago. I've been using it for so many years that it's become shabby, but I can no longer sleep without it. So when I'm staying in a hotel in Tokyo, I feel lonely (laughs). For the time being, I'll roll up a comforter and use that as a replacement, or if there's two pillows, I'll hug one of them. However, they can't match the fit of the pillow I've been using for many years!
During a date, a phrase you'd say to make her heart squeeze
I'll tell her "I'll become your jacket" in a devilishly playful* manner and drape over her (laughs). What is "チョケた"!? It's "ふざけた"! I don't actually long for that kind of situation! (laughs)
[t/n: sorry this did not translate well, but Kami-chan used チョケた "chokketa", which is a word in Kansai dialect that carries the same meaning as ふざけた "fuzaketa", playful/joking]
Recent state
There are acrobatic tricks I've wanted to do since long ago. I've been trying to do various ones for about two years, but I still haven't been able to master them... Because I got so frustrated, I thought it would be better to practice earnestly, so recently I started attending classes. There doesn't seem to be an indication that I'll master them, but I won't give up, and I'll practice diligently. It'll be good if I can show them off to everyone one day.
