[Translation] Duet 12/2011 Inoue, Kurita, Tanimura, and Kishi.
Kishi appeared in a separate photoshoot from Inoue, Kurita, and Tanimura, but I decided to put the translations together since they're from the same magazine. The topic is the same for all the boys, and that is the things that they've been doing recently along with information about each one of them (height/weight, favorite things, etc.). Inoue is trying to get more flexible, Kurita talks a lot about ABC-Z instead of himself, Tanimura loves Rubix cubes and has a strict mom, and Kishi had a very exciting birthday. Speaking of Kishi's birthday, there's a typo in the magazine: in the part where it lists all his information, it says that his birthday is September 29th, but later he talks about how his birthday was on October 29th (the day of a Kisumai concert and Sexy Zone's debut). Translated for king_kun.
Mizuki Inoue and Ryuichi Tanimura J-Power Thrillingly Growing Up!Mizuki Inoue: Born October 31st, 2000 in Kanagawa. Height: 142cm, Weight: 29kg. Shoe Size: 23.5cm. Blood Type: AB. [Skill] Gymnastics. [Hobby] Gymnastics. [Hobby] Gynastics. [Favorite Food] Meat. [Hated Food] Green things. [Favorite Type of Girl] A mature person. [Admired Sempai] Ryosuke Yamada-kun.
Recently, I started stretching when I get out of the bath. I’ve been doing gymnastics since I was in kindergarten, so my body has always been flexible. Until I was in the 3rd grade in elementary school I could do 180 degree splits and could even reach over an object and easily touch the floor with most of my hands, but now it’s not “easy” at all. I wonder if my body has gotten weaker? It’s sort of regrettable, so I started stretching about a month ago. My objective is to get as flexible as I was in first grade! (smile) Other than that, I have one more important thing to talk about. Right now, I’m appearing in the drama “Nankyoku Tairiku/Antarctica ~The Story of Dogs and Men Who Challenged the Field of God~” that stars Takuya Kimura-san. The filming was completed before this summer’s [SUMMARY] and I worked very hard at acting, so please watch it!
Kei Kurita: Born April 9th, 1997 in Saitama. Height: 158cm, Weight: 36kg. Shoe Size: 24.5 cm. Blood Type: AB. [Skill] Tap dance. [Hobby] Laptop. [Favorite Food] Melon. [Hated Food] Natto, Umeboshi. [Favorite Type of Girl] A girl who can cook. [Admired Sempai] Shingo Katori-san.
Recently, I’ve gotten faster at remembering choreography. I’ve been able to back-dance for many of my sempai, and my desire to become a better dancer has been promoted by that, so I’m really happy! The other day, when I was rehearsing for ABC-Z’s concert I got to see Koichi Goseki-kun’s dancing up-close, and I was moved. I wonder if someday I’ll be able to dance like Goseki-kun? Fumito Kawai-kun often talks to me kindly, but Goseki-kun has a cool image, so it doesn’t seem like he’d do the same. Shota Totsuka-kun has the image of always singing. Ryoichi Tsukada-kun has a tangled up image (smile). They’re all such good friends, it makes me jealous!
Ryuichi Tanimura: Born December 21st, 1998 in Tokyo. Height: 163cm, Weight: 44kg. Shoe Size: 27cm. Blood Type: O. [Skill] Rubix cubes. [Hobby] Rubix cubes. [Favorite Food] Sukiyaki. [Hated Food] Vegetables. [Favorite Type of Girl] A cheerful girl. [Admired Sempai] Sho Sakurai-kun.
I wonder what I’ve been doing recently… On days off, it’s probably studying. I’m only in my 1st year of middle school, but my school is full of smart people so I also have to do my best. Ah, even so, a little while ago I was deeply focused on completing Rubix cubes, which I’ve been into since I was in elementary school. Whenever I went to Juniors lessons or anywhere else, I’d always bring one in my bag, and because of that there are juniors who started doing Rubix cubes like me. No matter what kind of Rubix cube it is, I can complete it in an hour. I’ll probably start doing them again once I’m done with my tests… But instead, I’d rather play video games. If my mom catches me playing video games now, it’ll be bad, but once I get good grades on my tests, I want to freely play on my widescreen TV.

These are the always energetic fresh Juniors. This month we’re checking there everyday life. The basis of their power is facing every day with a smile♪.
Yuta Kishi: Born October 29th, 1995 in Saitama. Height 161cm, Weight: 45kg. Shoe Size: 26.5cm. Blood Type: A. [Skill] Sports. [Hobby] Playing with friends. [Favorite Food] Watermelon. [Hated Food] Green peas. [Favorite Type of Girl] A cheerful girl. [Admired Sempai] Satoshi Ohno-kun.
October 29th, the day that Kis-my-ft2 had a concert at the Imperial Theater and Sexy Zone debuted, was my birthday. That was the first time that I’d ever stood onstage on my birthday, so it was a special memory. When there wasn’t a lot of time, Taiga Kyomoto-kun and some others helped me remember the choreography, and I was happy that I was able to dance even better than I expected that I’d be able to. That evening, I went to a restaurant that I often go to on my birthday with my family to celebrate; it was truly a great day in full. From now on, I want to become someone who thinks of others, not just myself. That’s my ambition as a 16-year-old. Also, I want to fix my hunched posture, which people have been pointing out recently, so I’ve been wondering if putting a baseball bat down my shirt will fix it!?
