A full-size hologram of us.

I have my DVDs at home, but the rest is at my parents'.
96. Who would you like to form a limited-time unit with?
Matsuoka-kun (Masahiro) from TOKIO, Okura-kun (Tadayoshi) from Kanjani 8 and me. We could be a drum instrumental.

Thank you so much for all your support in this situation. I can't wait to see you all and I'll do my best until that day comes.
