{winkup} June 08 Sanada x Hashimoto
Winkup June 2008 - alongside
Hashimoto Ryosuke x Sanada Yuma
Sanada: If we add Nozawa to these two, the three of us sang at JUMP con in Osaka
Hashimoto: ‘Genkai Meter/limited meter’ our original song. That was our first time performing it and you know how we all fall down at the end? I wonder if people watching us knew why
Sanada: Right? I bet they thought “what the heck happened to these people” (laughs). That falling down means “I just showed you everything I can”
Hashimoto: Exactly. That’s why the dance moves ended up being extreme, to express our physical limits. And it’s really hard (laughs)
Sanada: I know! Just spinning round and round
Hashimoto: Those who’re watching might be like “what’s wrong!? Why did you go crazy all the sudden…” but we’re on the verge of going over our limit (laughs)!
Sanada: Exactly. We’re planning on performing that on ‘shonen club’ so it’d be nice if you keep your eyes on those points. The dance was hard during JUMP con but it was mentally pushing us to the limit too (laughs).
Hashimoto: They yelled us that our MC sucked, “do you think people got that!? Talk better” But it’s true that the place got quiet after I talked. I was like “wha, what is this mood! Oh no! eh, why am I sweating!?” and panicked (laughs). I learned what breaking into cold sweat was like
Sanada: Ahahaha. Hasshi was pretty under pressure then. That’s why you practiced for the last day by setting up order of the talks
Hashimoto: You all saw how nervous I was for sure!
Sanada: Yeah, so much I even saw it in your eyes (laughs). If that happy-go-lucky Hasshi was nervous, how much [under pressure] could he be in? (laughs)
Hashimoto: If I mess up twice, I’d never recover from it
Sanada: It was Shintaro’s birthday and the staff gave us permission to talk about OXY commercial so I thought “got it, let’s talk about that!” Then, Hasshi had a light bulb above his head and mumbling something at me. When I asked him “eh, what?” he says “do you think I don’t have to talk about OXY? I just can’t remember everything” (laughs)
Hashimoto: I told you the truth and trembled with fear (laughs)
Sanada: But you ended up talking about it. Even though you totally forgot to mention the names of people appeared on the CM (laughs)
Hashimoto: I was really nervous! But I am sensitive of getting yelled at. I’ll be fine if someone yelled, yelled, yelled at me and then say something good about me at the end. But…
Sanada: We were yelled, yelled, yelled at and gave up on at the end (laughs). But thanks to that, it ignited our willingness and values of the MC
Hashimoto: That’s true. I was really nervous during the MC but JUMP con itself was fun. I went nuts when was dancing. It feels good when the audience gives you a good reaction back when you wave to them! But when you think it’s going great, there’s actually a JUMP member behind you… happens a lot (laughs)
Sanada: It does! When I waved, enormous amount of people waved back with smile and I thought “this is awesome~!!” then, I turned around to find JUMP behind me (laughs)
Hashimoto: The second you find that out, you find yourself in an awkward position. So, you just run away for now (laughs). That’s when I started to check if there’s someone behind me first (laughs)
Sanada: But more than anything, I think our band got more stronger don’t you think?
Hashimoto: That too. I feel like we’re a set now! I now think we should help each other out
Sanada: Is it like, instead of blaming others, you have to work hard yourself? For example, if Hasshi was to mess up his entrance timing, I used to be “Hasshi stop playing around” but I’d think that I’m still not perfect. Like “well, I guess it’s okay. Let’s watch out next time” treating others nicer (laughs)
Hashimoto: Do you think we grow as we get scolded?
Sanada: I don’t know… because we’ve never been praised (laughs)
Hashimoto: That’s true! What if were the type where we progress by been praised/appreciated? (laughs)
Sanada: Nah, the dance teacher has taught many different people so far, that’s why I think we’ll get carried away. … but I wish they would praise and appreciate us like crazy (laugh)
Hashimoto: Me too~. But being scolded means we can still aim for something higher right? So, let’s not feel down and do our best!
