Wink Up 2012.07 - Travis Japan
These members are normally bustling and full of energy, but they manage such cool photos as well. It seems like we can look forward to there activities from now on!
Nakamura Kaito
I admire people with a cheerful character like Yaotome (Hikaru)-kun! Yaotome isn't only cheerful, he also makes people have fun. I'm cheerful as well, but haven't reached the point of making someone have fun yet. Giving my best there, and having my looks become like Kimura (Takuya)-kun... With Kimura-kun it's not only parts, everything of him is cool. Like something you'd call an aura? I want to have that kind of aura and the cheerfulness to make other people laugh. I think I can't give of an aura like Kimura-kun's yet. First I have to get some sweet parts. Like being kind to people around me, but strict to myself. And then I have to gain many different experiences. Without a proper way of living I won't be able to give of that kind of aura. But I do believe that I have some manly parts as well. Like not leaving any food behind during meals. There is someone who was nice enough to make the meal after all, and animals that were on the site of being eaten. Because I think you can't waste something like that, I eat it all even if it's a bit too much.
Miyachika Kaito
I really admire men who are good at dancing. And who are nice to people around them and have style... I think people who can wear any kind of western clothes stylishly are cool. Talking about senpai, Yamada (Ryousuke)-kun is cool! His dance, his own clothes, his personality, somehow everything about him is cool. And Yaotome (Hikaru)-kun as well. Even though Yaotome's looks are cool, he makes people laugh when talking. Being good-looking and good at comedy as well might be the image of man I'm yearing for. Only when I'm dancing I think I might be cool myself. Because I'm working the hardest on my dance at the moment. Isn't everyone who's working hard cool? And then, i might be kind, too. I'm paying attention to not become a senpai is feared by his kohai, and I've been told "You're kind" by people around me before. (Yoshizawa: "Because Miyachika doesn't get angry.") Even when I do get angry, I won't let it show. But I have to become able to give proper advices. And not only giving advices, but also the follow-up afterwards.
(Like when your kohai mess up on stage, or what are you even talking about?!)
Abe Aran
I wonder what a manly person would be like. Isn't Yokoyama-kun's face manly? It has a wild feeling to it. When talking about someone who's manly on the inside, it's Tanaka Koki-kun! Koki-kun looks wild as well, but he is kind isn't he. I think that is what is manly. Nakajima Kento-kun's being a hard-worker and kind is cool as well. Parts of myself I think of as manly are... well what would it be? That I can become friends with anyone quickly maybe? Is that manly (laughs)? Maybe you can call not having weird prejudices against people manly as well. And then, being kind. It's not that it's only me who thinks this, I've been told so by people around me, too. But that I don't value my own way of thinking enough might be not manly. I'm swept away relatively easy. When I think this way is good but everyone says that way, I tend to take that way. I think it'd be great to have unyielding opinions that pull everyone along. I feel like I'm constantly drawing closer to my perfect image of men!
Kajiyama Asahi
Nakai (Masahiro)-san is cool! His dancing is cool and he is good at talks. And he is kind as well. I watched a SMAP DVD which had backstage footage as well. Watching it I felt Nakai-san's kindness. I learned a lot through it and admire him. Ideal person. I thought, stars are persons like this, after all. If Nakai-san were 100%, I wonder how much the recent me would be~ If I think about it one by one, dancing would get 3% (laughs). Nakai-san is really great at switching between intense and calm dancing. But I can't express that change well yet. I myself think that talk has come up to 50%, though. And, kindness is 100%! Looking at my surroundings I do pull back when it's needed, and I see conceding as most important. Lumping all of this together, I might come to 30% of Nakai-san's... maybe. I might gain the missing 70% and catch up with him through gaining lots of experience. I'll give it my all, so look forward to it!
Yoshizawa Shizuya
I admire men who distinguish clearly between on and off, who are able to switch properly. The looks would be Yamada (Ryosuke)-kun. Like... his skin is flawless and there are times when he's told that he's cute, but also times when he's told that he's cool. I want to become someone like that~ I think I do distinquish clearly between on and off already now. I think that I got close to my ideal there already, but there are times when I cut corners. There are still times when I'm soft on myself, but when I get lost of those I think I'll become manly on the inside. About my looks... At the moment I get told I'm cute the most I guess. What should I do to get told I'm cool? Ah, an instrument! Being able to play an instrument is cool and times when I can use it for Junior activities will increase as well. Thinking about this, I bought a guitar. But it's difficult. Even when I read a book about it I don't get it because there's a lot of technical terms. It'd be great if there were someone to teach me everything from the very beginning. Then I'd do it!
@mod: all of these guys are missing tags, and will we get a group tag for Travis Japan? =D
edit: 2nd half added~<3 and ugh this is why I translate chibi jrs normally... when they get older it's getting hard to follow their trails of thought *shakes head*
