Dangerous eyes.
The four of them who have grown up handsomely are asked about how they feel about themselves and the members’ sexiness and wildness. Surprisingly, even though their evaluation of themsleves seemed to be very unsparing, they showed extremely grown-up expressions during the shooting!
The charisma of an adult is…still a distant future
Hokuto Matsumura
For wild people, the image of choosing items comes to mind. For example, they’ll go into a convenience store saying ‘I want this and that!’. However, I will say ‘That is good~ this is good too~’ so I guess I am the type who is undecided and never can decide on something. (laugh) I am far from wild. I think I may be completely short of sexiness. To be able to exude charisma like adults such as Yamashita (Tomohisa)* and Nishikido (Ryo)**, it looks like there is still a long way to go for me… It’s definitely not now; I think now is still the time to carefully study and fawn upon the many different performances of my seniors. If it’s about the members, Nakajima-san*** who really likes to bare his chest on stage is sort of unsexy, isn’t he? (laugh) I think Fuma-kun**** is the one with the wild feel. Though his behavior is roughly whole, it has a good meaning; the wild atmosphere that he creates is something like an aura.
It’s a habit of girls to shrug their shoulders when they’re cold and that image makes my heart pound. Say ‘It’s cold, isn’t it~’, I’ll want to look off in the distance quietly. (laugh)
I’ll be graduating from middle school soon (from information, about early February) and I’ve been drifting from my friends so, now I’m preparing to play at home, I want to play soccer from after 11 in the morning till the end of the day.
*Better known as Yamapi from NEWS
**Nishikido Ryo’s from NEWS too!

****Kikuchi Fuma, one of the other members in the group
I want to establish my own ‘brand’...
Kikuchi Fuma
People like Domoto (Tsuyoshi)*-kun and Akanishi (Jin)**-kun have very cool singing styles. They show a touch of their inner sexiness and wildness and become really charming. I think that I would like to learn how to sing in such a way. I think that keeping my singing style as it is is not right. Due to the fact that I think the way one sings will display their personality, if we observe a person’s singing style we will be able to know their ‘brand’. Therefore, I feel that pursuing a style that only I can sing is a big issue. Due to that, now I am currently immersing myself in Western music and songs by female artistes and so on; at any rate I am listening to and studying various kinds of music. Although the route to discovering my own style is still long, I try to absorb the good points of various people, so that one day I will be able to establish my own ‘brand’. I think that it’s good to become a sexy and wild artiste. I wonder if the other three members should also possess a different kind of sexiness?
Even though it is standard, a girl smoothing her hair upwards is definitely sexy, isn’t it? Also, for some reason the sound of her sleepy voice when she is on the phone makes my heart thump.
Before this, I went for a fun trip to Hakone*** with seven of my friends! That was the most fun I have had; our spirits were high from the start of the trip to the very end. I’m glad that I was able to obtain such beautiful, unforgettable memories.
*Domoto Tsuyoshi from Kinki Kids
**Akanishi Jin, ex-KAT-TUN and now solo
***Hakone is a town in Ashigarashimo District in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
I want to also be able to display my wildness
Kochi Yugo
There’s a lot of seniors that make me think that they are “whoa, sexy~”, and the one that stands out the most is Tanaka Koki-kun*. I feel that when singing different kinds of songs from the normal to the lively kinds, displaying an “I’m a grownup!” kind of extreme sexiness is cool. However, no matter how much I try to do just that it’s impossible for me (laughs). I think that as of now, there’s completely no sexiness or wildness inside of me. I’d rather always be lively and carefree… It’s practically the opposite! (laughs) I think that I show a little sexiness only in places like concerts, where I sing many ‘wild’ songs. Although it’s hard for me since I lack many factors, I’m trying my best to show my sexiness! I think the member who brings out his sexiness the best would be Matsumura, because he wears clothes that expose his shoulder even in midwinter (laughs).
I feel that it’s sexy when a girl is wearing a yukata** and turns around while holding on to a uchiwa. The truth is, during last year’s festivals I saw many girls who I felt were stunning, but. (laughs)
Before this, even though I was getting acquainted with the DVDS of movies recommended to me, for some reason all the endings felt unclear… I’m disappointed that I totally didn’t understand (laughs).
*Tanaka Koki is a member of JE group KAT-TUN
** The yukata is the traditional summer wear in Japan. It’s fairly casual and not as elaborate as a full kimono.
*** An uchiwa is a non-bending hand fan.
To be able to show my sensuality without overdoing it.
Nakajima Kento
I am a wild carnivore. I often go with my family to eat barbequed meat. Ah, isn’t that the meaning of meat? (laugh) Rather when I think of black sauce and eat lots of vegetables, it’s really close to being a vegetarian. For other parts too, there are not really any wild factors. If you’re talking about sexiness, while watching last year’s SUMMARY 2010 DVD, the clothes that I wore while singing really exposed [a lot of skin] and a perfectly sexy atmosphere was created...Though I had that kind of feeling, how is it!? (laugh) Though I said that, There’s no need for both me and the members to have a sexy atmosphere as of now. I feel that it’s best if we could slowly display the kind of grownup sensuality that Yamashita (Tomohisa)-kun and Akanishi (Jin)-kun display within our own limits, and do so with all our might.
Behavior of girls that make my heart pound? Something like when at a video rental shop, she says ‘which shall I choose~’ while tracing the DVDs with her finger gracefully. (Matsumura: I don’t get it!) She should be excessively slender? (laugh)
Right now, I’m working hard on the compilation of ‘You’ve Taught Me Everything That Is Important’ * (Fuji TV Check P.126!). Getting along and having fun with my co-stars can’t be helped!
*Taisetsuna Koto ha Subete Kimi Ga Oshietekureta
A Jdrama produced by Fuji TV which aired in Japan from 17th January to 28th March.
