[The Basics]
Approximately, how big (or small) would you want your group?: It really wouldn't be an issue to me how big or small the group was. As long as we all get on well. I think I could work in a duo if I was with the right person, but I think between 5 and 7 people would be nice. That way there's more of a contrast in personalities as there's simply more people.
What kind of image would you guys push as a group? (sexy, dorky, etc.): The down to earth group who are strangely cool and endearing in their dork. The group that don't necessarily come across as idols so fans find it much easier to relate. I wouldn't want to be on a pedestal.
In general, what genre of music would you sing?: Considering it's JE, it'd be silly to say full blown rock music. But in my head, I'd want it to be leaning towards the likes of Punk and Rock.
What would you want your group to be known for?: Playing instruments. Actually making good music. Being friendly on talk shows and enjoyable to watch.
How close do you want to be with your members?: I'd hope we'd be very close, maybe even best friends.
What kind of costumes would you prefer?: Not too outlandish. Which I know is probably wishful thinking when JE is concerned. Though, I think I could pretty much deal with anything except feathers. They bring a whole new level of tackiness to everything somehow.
What area of entertainment would your group focus on? (variety shows, dramas, movies, etc.): Music first and foremost followed by variety shows and dramas quite equally I would think. I'd love it if we had our own variety show or two, where we could do our own thing. And I wouldn't mind a go at a few dramas if the right script comes along. But I'm not sure if it'd be something I'd personally do a lot.
[This or That]
Try to pick one for your group!
Senpai or Kouhai?: Senpai.
Popular or Underdog?: Underdog possibly. It's then more rewarding when you sell out tour dates and what not.
Sing or Dance?: Sing.
Alike or Contrastive? (in terms of each members' personalities): It's nice to have different personalities in a band. Of course, I'd want there to be traits that bond us, but I don't think there's any band in JE where all the members are completely alike. It'd be boring otherwise.
Outgoing or Reserved?: Outgoing.
Sexy or Cute?: Cute generally I think. I'm more comfortable with being cute myself.
Cool or Dorky?: Cool and dorky XD It's hard to pick out of these two as I think they are both attractive traits when it comes to a band.

Questions to make you really think!
Pick one song that your group would sing at every concert no matter what and explain why: Any song, or any JE song? Starving Man by TOKIO would be good. It's very close to the sort of music I used to listen to growing up. Misetekure or Eden by Kanjani8 also, both of which fans hold quite close to their hearts. They'd be a lot of passion put into them when sung live.
What kind of PVs would you want to shoot?: Something that will be enjoyable to film and just as enjoyable to watch. Dorky, fun and energetic. But at the same time I don't mind doing something a bit strange. I'd want it to be, hopefully, completely different from what any of the other bands have done. It's good to stand out and not to conform. I don't like to conform.
How would you act when one member is obviously more popular than the others?: Laugh it off and play up to it. It's bound to happen and there's nothing you can do about it, so why bother dwelling on it. Just joke about it and poke fun at the popular member.
How would you react when your group starts to fall in record sales?: It'd probably hit home pretty hard, but you can't let something like that stop you. Reassess what we're doing, see where we're going wrong and push on with a million times more passion. Hopefully no one will get to down about it, but if they do, make sure they are supported.
How would you react when your group starts to rise in record sales?: Revel in and relesh it. Be insanely happy basically. Go out with the group for some drinks and let loose. drunk dancing and getting rid of clothes is what I invision
How would you perform together at concerts?: I would be fine with just a straight forward gig as I used to be in aband myself so I'm comfortable with that. Just on the main stage in a venue playing our instruments. I wouldn't mind breaking off into smaller groups every now and then though. Showing the audience the dynamic that different members have together. As well as each member maybe having a solo song, so everyone has been given the opportunity to do what they want. Plus, it gives the other members a chance to have a breather. I think mixing it up that way is extremely effective and keeps everything interesting.
One of your members got kicked out of JE, what would you do?: If they are intending to come back someday, continue to support them. I know that's hard in front of the cameras, but we'd find a way. If they just want to move on, let them do so. I'd definitely want to keep in touch if that's what they wish though. I wouldn't abandon them.
How would your concert meetings generally go?: Concert meetings? As in when we'd get together to decide on how they'd go? I'm not sure. I'd want everyone to be able to share their thoughts on what they want the concert to be like. And hopefully everyone would have an actual contribution in the end. I'd want the concerts to be the brain child of each member. That way, it makes the concert more of the bands own thing, which is important.
How would your group try to resolve internal conflicts?: This is a difficult question as things usually work out the best way in the end naturally. There's no point trying to talk someone around if they have no interest in listening. Just try and not let things get out of hand for the benefit of the rest of the group. Try and talk it out once everyone has cooled now and hopefully put it behind us. I think conflict can be a good thing at times, but nothing serious that would shake the foundations of the group. I'd want that sorted as soon as possible.
Any last comments?: I don't think so. Cheers~ Oh actually, when can I get a re-stamp?
