Potato April 2010 Translation Hip Hop JUMP
Hagiya Keigo:
When I was little and knew about SMAP, it was a big changing encounter perhaps. Admiring SMAP and entering this world, I got ambition to improve my singing and dancing, such a sense of responsibility sprouted. I won't forget the moment when I met the toypoodle Shion I have from last year. Because it was terribly cute (laugh). Because it's my first time living with a dog, I'm always moved by that cuteness. Last year I also encountered drums, and the moment I played on them I got into it. Recently I've come to master technique and it's getting more and more fun. That feeling is the same as when I started dancing! The next thing I got into is foreign culture. Watching european buildings and eating Italian delicious food... somehow it's good!
Tanaka Juri:
The other day I went shopping, and fell in love at first sight with the clothes in a shop. There was a parka and the moment I saw it I was like BIBI *his heartbeat I think* and bought it immediately. Because I want a wrist watch, the next thing I want to encounter is a cool watch! After I've become a Jr I have encountered various things, but the thing I'm especially interested in is singing. Everytime I get a chance to sing a song, but comparing to senpais I think I'm bad... I'm listening to various songs, and trying to sing songs, but if I don't do my best more it's bad. I also want to get better at talking. Someday I want to hear Downtown's Matsumoto Owarai-san's talking in front of my eyes. It would surely be fun~
Morohoshi Shoki:
When I was small I was in a daze with football, so I had nearly seen dance. So entering this world, "I encountered dance!" is what I feel. When I tried it, I immediately came to like it, and when I watch senpais I'm doing research. when I watch Mis Snow Man for example, I think that they are really good. So now, more than going out to play with friends, I want to do my best in dancing and singing! Before I became a Jr playing was my first priority (laugh). These members have also completely opened my heart up. Especially Juri and Riki (Murata Rikito), because they are the same age as me we have gotten along well since the beginning. And after this spring I'm a high school student. Meeting new friends in school also seems fun!
Kadoi Kento:
What I think was a big encounter is, my three years younger little sister. Until I was three years old I was a spoiled child, but when my sister was born I changed. Because I'm a big brother I have to be reliable! It was like that. But when we have sibling fights, I can't understand why I'm always the one being scolded (laugh). The landmark I always have, is that I want to meet Sakurai Sho-kun. If a chance to talk to him came, I would like to hear about his way of balancing school and work and about working as a caster! Of course a sempai, but also if a Jr can do things like rap and backflips he's amazing I think. After this I also want to search for something that only I can do.
Murata Rikito:
When becoming a Jr it was the first time for me to try dancing, and it was really hard. But the other day Yamada Ryosuke-kun said "Do your best!", and it gave me lots of energy. After all he's a senpai and I think he's amazing. Because I've recently come to like examining V6's songs and dancing, it seems that I will meet them V6 someday. What I've recently encountered is a new house! Re-building the house, my father made a big mirror in my room, and because of that I can practise dancing. But usually my father is really scary, and always gets angry... But after becoming a Jr, I'm thankful to my father's strictness about manners. It's weird to say, but it's good that I've encountered my father (laugh).
