Kansai Jr. Wink Up August
Kansai Jr. Wink Up August 2013
Nishihata Daigo
Recently I’ve realized that Ren (Nagase) is really doesn’t like being alone. A little while ago, I was on a bullet train for a transfer and sat in a two-person seat. Ren was sitting in the 3-person seat that was across the isle from me. I was talking to Sho (Hirano) and suddenly he came trotting over and I thought “Oh, what’s wrong?” and he sat right in the middle! No, no, no, isn’t that overdoing it? “Just how much does he love us…” is what I thought (laugh). Something new I found out about Onishi (Ryusei)… well, I actually just reconfirmed, but he loves trains. There are times we transfer trains, you know? When we do that he says “That’s _____! Oh, that’s _____ type’s ______!” and tells me all about trains. He also knows a lot about the train lines. I don’t really know how to transfer trains so when I’m worried about it he tells me “If you go this way you’ll get home” and takes me to the train station. I’m a High school student being saved by an Elementary school student; what’s with that? (laugh)
Nagase Ren
I observe Daigo a lot, but he’s the type of person that it’s hard to find out something new about him (laugh). He really likes me. In a questionnaire, his answer to “A Jr. you get along with” is always me. Ah, maybe it’s actually me that likes him? Well, that’s true, too (laugh). We auditioned on the same day, we’re always together for Jr. work, and there’s nothing I don’t like about him. He does sometimes say some harsh things, though. (He’s kind of saying this to Daigo) Can’t you process some nicer things to say to me!? (laugh) Also, recently Onishi has been getting more stylish! He’s only in 6th grade, but he’s wearing bracelets and necklaces! For me, I’ve only just begun to find interest in those things. But, when I talk to him he’s still a 6th grade boy so that put my mind at ease (laugh). But if this keeps going, in 7th grade he might become one of those kids that walk around with a wallet chain and long wallet! (laugh)
Onishi Ryusei
For the national tour I went to Ishikawa Kouen for the first time. I couldn’t go to the Hiroshima and Sapporo performances, so until then, I didn’t know what songs I would go out for or what I’d dance! Nagase taught me the dance moves on the train while going to Ishikawa. We can’t dance by the seats, so we did it in the aisle. He really taught me a lot. I was really happy. But I was only happy during those moments (laugh). The normal Nagase isn’t a *tsundere but a tsuntsundere (laugh)! Onishi is… right! During the Nagoya performance we all ate miso-katsu. And then, he didn’t put any miso on it, and just ate it with the sauce! There was both miso and sauce, but he ate it with the sauce! To eat miso-katsu with only the sauce, it’s a waste. It was so yummy (with the miso)~. That’s just normal *kushi-katsu. From now, I still have the Miyagi, Tokushima, and Tokyo performances! I want to eat Miyagi’s cow tongue!
*tsundere = hot-cold personality. When he says tsuntsundere he’s just emphasizing that Nagase is VERY tsundere. Lol
* kushi-katsu = katsu on a skewer

Q: How do you want to be awoken by your girlfriend?
A: I want her to do a countdown! I think I’d be able to get up really quickly if she said “10, 9, 8…”
