I think last week Only Star's blog updated that HiroSuke will be this week's Only Star, but wasn't sure what kind of spread they were going to be in, so now that the magazine has been released, it seems like Only Star did rankings based on winter dramas, and HiroSuke are part of the 'actor you were most curious about' ranking. Though um, the number of people who voted for that ranking is extremely low...if it's a typo, then they messed up for the whole ranking, if it's not...then it's just wth? No one really cared about actors this season? >>'' Anyways, the two of them gets a two-page spread together in relation to that ranking. There are some delays with the magazine though, depending on the bookstore/website you buy from. Delivery delays as well. Either way, not all bookstores have the magazine on its release day.
Tomorrow, is photo-taking day. It's going to sound crazy, but I will be going out to take photos every two hours. I'm not sure how to explain my idea, but yea... Let's hope I can get up though XD; Have to start from 6am and go until 10pm, lolll.
Anyways, continuing with translations for requests from

[Note: Uki uki means cheerful, exciting, lighthearted, and such similar feelings]
We asked about them things that made them cheerful recently, fun episodes, and such. It seems like all six of them have been having well-spent productive days that were filled with lots of smiles and excitement!
Yasui Kentarou
Something that made me cheerful lately was meeting (Tanaka) Juri. Seriously, the existence of Juri himself hits bull's-eye with me (laughs). For example, Juri would do something really boring and bomb the joke and I'd be the only one laughing hard...like that. The other day too, the impersonation Juri did hit bull's-eye for me and I laughed hard. When I was in elementary school, I was cheerful for sports day~ I'd be so excited that even after the sports day have ended, I would keep on being cheerful and was unable to sleep.
At Kis-My-Ft2's concert, I had the huge role of handing them the envelope that held the paper with the CD debut announcement on it. I didn't know what was inside either so I was surprised, but watching everyone being delighted made me happy. It's an honour to be able to witness a historic moment, but was it really alright that it was me (laughs)?
Kyoumoto Taiga
When I listened to Yamashita (Tomohisa)-kun's solo album, I was really cheerful. There were a lot of western taste songs that I like and all songs were really charming. Among them, I often listen to the song "Gomen ne" before I sleep. When I listen to the sad ballad that has broken heart as the theme, it calms down my mood. Well, it's a song about broken heart though, so more or less, I would end up feeling a bit lonely though (laughs). Also, every year, I'm excited about changing classes at school. Since the friends I get along with me are gathered in the class I'm in now, if possible, I don't want to separate with them~
Kis-My-Ft2's concert had a lot of difficult dances, so it was quite hard on the body. Since I won't be forgiven if I slack off though, I danced with all my power. Using this experience, I want to raise my skills more.
Masuda Ryou
On the day of Kis-My-Ft2's concert, I met a classmate from school at the station unexpectedly by chance. He was about to go to a baseball game and the fact that he was all psyched up was conveyed to me. I received good motivation from him, thinking, "If that guy will do his best, I'll do my best too!" With influence from that as well, at the concert, I was able to go for it with all my heart and it was fun! From the start to the end, I was cheerful.
In private, there's the fact that it's right before exams so things that made me cheerful...there aren't much (laughs). I think that's fine the way it is now though. I'm going to study properly, and when exams are over without any problems, I want to have a party with friends. I plan to play with all my strength and make lots of happy memories.
Kawashima Noeru
When asked about cheerful happenings, the thing that came to mind was out of school learning (field trip) when I was in elementary school. I was happy that I could stay with my friends that my tension went up too much and even when it was night time, I couldn't sleep at all. If it's recently, a while ago, when I went to the amusement park with my family, it was fun. Starting in the morning, we rode on all sorts of attractions recklessly. Except, I rode too much that at the end, I got a bit of motion sickness though (laughs).
Kis-My-Ft2's concerts were fun! To tell the truth, it's been almost a year since I last appeared in a concert. When I spot the figures of fans who have supported me from before continue to support me without change now, I felt "It's great that I kept doing my best" and was really moved!
Anderson Casey
When good words I can use for rap comes to mind, I'd go "Yes!" and my tension is raised. I always carry a notebook around with me and when I think an interesting word, I try to immediately write it down. Also, when I think of a new magic trick, I would be excited~ I'd get happy and end up showing everyone the same trick around four times, so I would often be told "I'm tired of it already" though (laughs).
I received birthday presents from Noeru and Yasui-kun. Noeru gave me a necklace and Yasui-kun a scarf, and since I don't have confidence in my fashion sense, I'm really happy to receive stylish things like those. I use them a lot lately.
Takada Sho
A while ago, for my school's out of school learning (field trip), we went to the zoo. It was really, really fun and my tension was raised so much that mingled with the children around kindergarten age that were around me and was in high spirits unlike a high school student (laughs). That was exactly what having lots of cheerful feelings is. The Kis-My-Ft2's concerts I appeared in a while ago were really fun too. I was really happy to be able to witness the CD debut announcement which is a precious moment, and while being moved, I took the train back...up to that point was good, but actually I carelessly overslept on the train and ended up in a station really far away (laughs). I didn't think there would be such a pitfall after such a touching moment...it was really a day that was filled with intense ups and downs~

infatuation
Masuda Ryou x Kyoumoto Taiga x Yasui Kentarou
Since this time's interview happened after Kis-My-Ft2's concert where their debut was announced, naturally their talk headed to that moment as well. They were all happy like it was about themselves.
Yasui Kentarou
KisuMai announced their debut during their concert, and the one who delivered the envelope was me. On stage, planned things were announced one after another and it was an atmosphere where you could say nothing. I myself thought "By any chance, what's inside is..." and was really nervous. Probably, it was the moment I was most nervous for in the whole concert (laughs). When I was off the stage after handing it over, I heard the shouts of members going "Yes!" and amazing cries of joy. Despite how I only handed over the envelope, afterwards, members spoke to me saying "Yasui, thank you!" and at the next show, there was a message of "Yasui-kun, thank you" on fans' uchiwas. I'm really happy to be able to witness the best moment. Congratulations!
Masuda Ryo
I was given the chance to backdance for KisuMai's concerts, and I felt really touched at the debut announcement. The moment I heard that announcement and the commotion from the audience, goosebumps formed and without thinking, I almost cried. Backstage too, Juniors and staff members were all very delighted. Yasui-kun who went to hand over the envelope in that atmosphere was amazing though. If it was me, my legs would be shaking and it would have been impossible (laughs). Also, up until now, we were given chances to appear for songs that are relatively cute often, this time, it's more mature songs. I thought "We're going to dance to these songs!?" and I was really happy. To that extent though, the level (of dance) was high and it was difficult to memorize them (laughs). It was a learning experience and I was moved as well...it was a really great experience.
Kyoumoto Taiga
Lately, the three of us with Noeru, Nakada, Anderson, Takada, and Ishikawa, the chances of the eight of us having activities together have increased and I'm receiving motivation from it. Recently, at KisuMai concerts too, the eight of us were given a chance to be together, but the level of dance required from us was really high. Since I have thought of wanting to dance to those kind of songs ourselves one day when watching A.B.C-Z and KisuMai backdance for KAT-TUN, I was really happy and all psyched up for it. I realized though that seriously a lot of stamina is necessary (laughs). Lately, there's the fact that somehow each of us has gained something like a role (within our group), so accompanied with that, something like teamwork and bond is formed among us. We're going do our best so that everyone will go "This unit is good!" when thinking of us, so everyone, please support us!
Put these two articles together not only because they're from magazines issues released the same month, but also because most of them talk about KisuMai. One article isn't that long anyways, so put together, it works out.
I'm drifting off, so I'll keep this short...
Comments are love and appreciated~
