[Translation] Duet 05.2012 JR. A
I was overjoyed to see Myuuto in a magazine this month ♡o｡.(◕｡ ◕). He appeared with the rest of JR.A, Kawashima, Ryuuya, and Nakada, and they all spoke a bit about Takizawa Enbujo and their daily lives. Kawashima focused on swordfighting, acrobatics, and becoming a student council officer. Ryuuya focused on swordfighting, backflips, and his dog. Myuuto focused on playing a soccer-like game and a pair of pants that he really wanted. And Nakada focused on graduation, making friends, and swordfighting. Can you spot the one that doesn't seem to belong (≧∇≦)/. In all seriousness, I hope that these four appear in some more photoshoots in the future, they seem to work well together. I especially enjoy seeing Myuuto and Ryuuya together; even though they don't have any history to speak of (aside from appearing in some stage-plays together over the years), it's a pairing that works for me. It's hard to believe that Ryuuya is the older one of the two of them though! Ryuuya feels forever 13 to me, while Myuuto looks more his age.
JR. A
Warm and snuggly report of recent events.
It’s begun at last for the boys doing their best in [Takizawa Enbujo 2012] (playing at Nisseigekijou from April 8th), JR. A. What lifestyle are these boys living now!? They told us in full.
Warm and Snuggly, The Sentiments of Spring
Noeru Kawashima: I was so happy when my beloved sempais called my name around once in every three concerts during [ABC Za]. Ryoichi Tsukada-kun, who I respect very much, said that: “Noeru is the junior we pick the most often to do acrobat sessions with us], and I was moved! It also makes me happy that in the [Takizawa Enbujo] stageplay that we’re in the middle of rehearsing for, I get to challenge my first staged swordfight. I’m being given the opportunity to challenge the things that I keep thinking: “I want to do that!”, so I wonder if I’m getting noticed, little by little… As I think that, I work my hardest.
I’ve become a student council officer. I’m the Lifestyle Committee’s committee head. It was recommended by the president of the Lifestyle Committee; he said that I’ve been interested for a while, so I should try. For my last year of high school, I’ll only enjoy significant things!
Born November 22nd, 1994 in Tokyo. Height: 172cm. Weight: 56kg. Blood Type: O.
Ryuuya Shimekake: In [Takizawa Enbujo] I’m doing staged swordfights for the first time, but it’s full of things I don’t know about, from how to use my sword to what to shout, so I get help from Ryota Yamamoto-kun and Daisuke Sakumoto-kun (thi interview was taken in March). Because the two of them taught me very thoroughly and consciously, I feel grateful. The practice for it and the stage play itself last a long time, and I want to master one new technique over that period. Aside from staged swordfights, I’m also in the middle of practicing backflips. Out of the 4 of us, I’m the only one who can’t do them, so I’m doing my best to learn!
I’m healed by my dog every day. My miniature dachshund, Jam. He likes to eat a lot, and when I pick him up in my arms, he always licks my all over with his tongue without meeting my eyes. Like I’ve got something left on my face that he wants to eat (smile). When I went to take him for a walk, he wouldn’t move so much as a step, but even so, he’s a cute little guy.
Born June 23rd, 1995 in Ibaraki. Height: 166cm. Weight: 49kg. Blood Type: AB.
Myuuto Morita: Since the serious stage play has been going on, the really bright and cheerful [ABC Za] was fun! Backstage was lively too. Tsukada-kun taught me some acrobatics, and he was as good as a professional gymnastics teacher. Also, the little juniors taught me the secret rules of how to play a soccer-like game, and they were super energetic every day. But I feel stressed by the daily things… In this way, I wonder if I’m getting a little closer to becoming an adult (smile).
Any time now, I’m going to want to go shopping for spring clothing. There are pants that I want. They’re light blue with orange stitching. Before, they caught my eye and interest at the store, but they didn’t have my size. And they didn’t carry the same pants in any other store… Eventually, the ones that were the wrong size disappeared from the store; it would have been better if I’d special ordered them at that time~ (tears).
Born October 31st, 1995 in Tokyo. Height: 178cm. Weight: 60kg. Blood Type: A.
Hiroki Nakada: This spring I’ll graduate high school! There was also a graduation ceremony on [Test no Hanamichi], the show I’ve been appearing in for a year. In the end, I was trying too hard to hold back my tears, so I reflected without making a good comment… But it was a year full of accomplishments. Starting in April, I’ll be a university student ♪ I wonder if I’ll make new friends. According to what I’ve heard, it seems that Yuuma Sanada-kun gave potato chips to someone when he meet them for the first time and became their friend through that, so should I prepare candy to give out!?
Right now, I’m in the middle of training for [Takizawa Enbujo]. I’ve begun doing staged swordfights, and I checked my movements in the video, and was disappointed by how bad I was… While receiving advice from my sempai They Budou and MADE, I research how to improve day-by-day. There’s also taiko drumming practice, and I have muscle pain in different places every day, but that pain is proof of how hard I’m working!
