Popolo, November 2013 Hey!Say!7 Reader's Q & A Translation
The boys got questions and picture requests from the readers of Popolo this month x3 They were pretty interesting to read so I hope you think so too! They also wrote their own little poem/compositions x)
This post is to make up for my lack of posted translations lately. I've been working with je-yosai on something important and it should be done soon :D!
Popolo November 2013
Request Festival
[Up next is a Q & A session with the readers and the members. There’s also a “Request Pic!” corner!]
Requests to Chinen!
Q1: When Yamada and Ohno acted together for the 24hr TV Drama special, did you feel any jealousy?(Nacchi-Tokyo)
When I heard that Ryosuke and Ohno-kun would be acting together I thought, “How cool~”. But it’s because my dream is to be up on stage with Ohno-kun. The Ryosuke in that drama, when I saw his acting come to life, I cried without realizing it.
Q2: Recently it seems you’ve been interested in cars. Are you interested in getting your driving license? (178-Shizuoka)
It’s true that when I see a really cool car I think, “I wanna ride in that” but, I’m not interested in driving them myself at all. That’s why, I have no intention to go for my license! That’s why if I was to buy a car in the future it’d have to only be a cool car with a driver. (laughs)
Q3: If there was an uchiwa that said “Do an extraordinary fan service” then what would Nenchi do? (laughs) (Mana-Tokyo)
As for me, it’s surprising but, I’m bad with that kind of adlib. But, if they told me, “Do it not matter what!” I’d have no choice so I’d go ahead and do a “Komanechi!” (T/N: A kind of body positioning gag I believe) That’s my extraordinary fan service (laughs)
Request Pic!!: I’d like to see Chinen holding candy♥(Hana)
Requests to Yamada!
Q1: I love ghost as well. I have an unbeatable belief in them. I’d like to hear about how much do you like ghosts! (Karin-Osaka)
It’s not like I really like them but I do like them a bit. I’ve researched them through photograph books and other books with information on them. I was reading them alone, feeling pretty self satisfied after understanding them. But, right now, we have Kesaran Pasaran at home (T/N: 1st time hearing of this. They’re fluffy white balls of fluffiness and they’re also a mythical creature. If someone could give a better definition of these then please do x3) When I say this, everyone ends up looking confused but it’s true. Dai-chan has seen them as well.
Q2: I’m doing ballet and so, how do I go out and perform without feeling embarrassed like Yamada-kun? (Ichigo)
As for me, even now I still have times where I feel embarrassed so it’s alright. But, saying that might not be enough so there’s nothing else you can do but to step into these experiences and learn from them. You can’t just thinking about it either. When you have to do it, there’s no choice but to do it!
Q3: Is it true that Yamada-kun’s sweat smells like roses? (Yamada Nonsuke-Osaka)
There was a short time where I had eaten nothing but rose candy and that’s how it happened. I was surprised. I wasn’t the one that noticed, the members did. They were like, Woah! (laughs) It’s different now though. The smell I produce is more like the normal manly scent.
Request Pic!: I’d like to see Yamada-kun holding and eating strawberries (Ayamachi-Hiroshima)
Requests to Nakajima!
Q1: Yuto-kun gets along really well with his younger brother. Tell us the secret to that!
That’s easy. I see my brother as an adult, so that’s why. Lately, when he’s doing his homework, I’ll mess with him but he brushes me off (laughs) In the past we had our fights but we’d get along right away again when we’d get all fired up about the things we both liked.
Q2: If you were to do a saxophone music performance like Yamada-kun, what song would you want to perform?(Mirai)
If I could then I’d wanna do jazz~ I’d want to do the famous song, “Take Five” and I’d want it to turn into a live performance with a really good adult ambience to it. I’m looking forward to the day when that comes true.
Q3: I want to hear an inside story about your job as a model (Condensed Pudin-Hokkaido)
Photo shoots take place really early in the morning but regardless of that, people get through it with their gentle smiles. The other day, after the photo session, even though it was only 9 in the morning, the staff went in search for an open cake shop and they bought me a birthday cake to congratulate me.
Request Pic!: Yuto’s imitation of Sakai Masaki really looks like him and I feel like trying it myself but, I’d like to know how to do it (Ayamachi-Hiroshima)
Requests to Okamoto!
Q1: What makes you feel glad you’re an only-child? (Keitotto)
I’ve always been alone so I’m not sure as to what it is that I feel glad for…If I was forced to say something then it might be that I’ve lived a peaceful life without any siblings (laughs) If perhaps, I had a younger brother or a younger sister, I think I would have watched over them to make sure they’re not in trouble.
Q2: Why do you like Yamada-kun so much? (Mariya-kun-Tokyo)
I didn’t say that I “like” Yamada-kun but, it’s more like a normal, “He’s good looking” (laughs) He has a pretty face, he has a gentle personality and he can worry about others. I wonder if you can call that kind of person, “perfect” (laughs)
(T/N: You said you loved him, Keito lol)
Q3: Tell me about a recent thing that’s become fun for you at your university! (Lune)
I made kouhais (T/N: Classmates of a lower grade level) at school, so it might be the moment when they call out to me, “Senpai!” I’ve never gotten to experience that kind of thing up until now so I’m really happy about it. Without realizing, a smile appears on my face when I hear them call out to me, “Okamoto-senpai!”.
Request Pic!!: To Keito-kun, I’d like it if you did a one-shot gag with a banana (Douwanaka)
Standout Request 1
“I’d like it if the members took photos of one another!” (Sugar)
[We got a lot of people requesting for this one. There’s a face that only a trusted friend, like the members, can capture in a photo]
Yamada took this one
[Very Angry]
This is very Yuya-like. It captures his stupidity perfectly doesn’t it? (laughs) He looks incredibly cute. You don’t get to see Yuya make this kind of face right? It’s the face he only shows me when he’s letting me spoil him
Takaki took this one
[His face when he noticed the camera]
I took the best “natural” shot of him! He’s so cute looking all surprised by the camera, right~? I don’t wanna take pictures of the Okamoto Keito that’s trying to act cool.
Okamoto took this one
[TIME]
This is the facial expression Hikaru-kun showed me once it turned 6:30. This is the limited-time, precious shot that he only showed me. So this time, I’ll let you all see it (laughs)
Hikaru took this one
[This guy’s a mischievous boy]
Is there really a person out there that makes this kind of face next to Takaki who’s fast asleep? Please enjoy this guy’s mischievous smile. Even though he did that he was still fast asleep~
Poems:
Yamada Ryosuke:
Let’s join our smiling faces together from now on!
Nakajima Yuto:
I can’t do anything
If you’re not here
If you’re here, then I can do anything
I’ve made it all the way here
From now on, forever
I want you to stand behind me, to keep me going
Okamoto Keito:
I’m nothing without you!
Chinen Yuri:
Because everyone supports me
I can do my best
Watching everyone do their best becomes my strength
Each and everyone is doing their best on their own path
Let’s become each other’s strength
