Johnny's Juniors - Potato November 2012
Happy Birthday, Kouchi Yuugo!
I'm finally doing something for Yuugo's birthday! You know, I've been paying attention ever since he joined (thanks to School Kakumei), and I can definitely say I like him a lot now (like, Sana-chan is top among Juniors, but Yuugo might second, I don't know, I can't decide on the rest after Sana-chan >>;; ), but I have never ever done anything for his birthday. It's either I'm too busy with life in general, or I was trying to figure out what to do for Tama's and Senga's birthday. I do know what I'm doing for those two's birthdays though, and I had some time this past weekend, so I sat down and translated!
It's been a while since I translated something that wasn't KisuMai! I considered translating a crosstalk with Bakaleya-gumi, but I was afraid I'd take too long with it, so I went with this article instead. Oh yes, I also made two Yuugo icons yesterday because I couldn't post without a Yuugo icon! It was sad that I didn't have any more recent scans to work with since I haven't been scanning at all...>>;;
Translation. Bakaleya-gumi (Tanaka Juri x Morimoto Shintarou x Kouchi Yuugo x Lewis Jesse x Kyoumoto Taiga x Matsumura Hokuto). The theme is secret, so they each reveal a secret of another member and talk about secrets of their own. All of them talked a bit about their own SUMMARY shows as well.
Secret
Tanaka Juri x Morimoto Shintarou x Kouchi Yuugo x Lewis Jesse x Kyoumoto Taiga x Matsumura Hokuto
Team Bakaleya who also showed us the bond between the six of them at “SUMMARY”. We’re going to tell you their “secret” episodes in secret. Also, we’re publishing photos of them having fun after taking off the masks!
Tanaka Juri
Q1. Tell us OO’s secret!
A1. 【Shintarou’s Secret】Shin-chan loves the six of us! When it’s just the two of us chatting, he’d talk about the future of the six of us, and for example, if one of us isn’t in good shape, he’d be worried, going, “Is that guy alright?” He always impresses me when it comes to these things. With “SUMMARY”, he was really nervous before his own solo corner. His solo was the first, so his expression was a bit tense. Hokuto and I encouraged him and said, “It’s alright. Do it like you always do.” During the actual shows, he jumped down from the stage with a backflip perfectly for three times!
Q2. Whose secret and what kind of secret do you want to know?
I want to know why Yamashita (Tomohisa)-kun can always be that cool. His singing, his dancing, everything about him is cool, and he’s someone I’ve admired for a long time. Then, actually a while ago, after I kept on saying these things, Yamashita-kun gave me a necklace as a present. It’s a gold cross one, and I was really, really happy. I’m falling for him more and more (laughs).
Q3. An episode where your secret was exposed?
I’m quite a cheerful person at school, but actually, I’m forcing myself a bit, or should I say, it’s tiring to be honest. One time, when I told a classmate that I get along with about this, he told me, “I can tell by looking.” I was seen through, surprisingly, is what I thought. By the way, when I’m with that guy, I really don’t say anything, and I can stay with him without either of us saying anything. I think, when I am with someone I trust, that side of me might be my true self.
Q4. Recent news that you want to keep as a secret?
I bawled at “SUMMARY”. Especially on the last day, the circle flying we did was a dream I wanted to be realized, and I really felt how we had fans that supported us so much. I was touched emotionally, and when I realized it, tears were flowing out naturally.
Morimoto Shintarou
Q1. Tell us OO’s secret!
A1. 【Hokuto’s Secret】This is from when we filmed the last episode of the drama “Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou”. The filming went longer than expected, and since we had some free time, Hokuto slept in the costumes room. He was woken up by the assistant director and we filmed right after that. With the scene where he catches me when I fall, he did his best and caught me! But when I look properly, his eyes were super red though (laughs). Also, at “SUMMARY”, Hokuto did things coolly and terrifically, but after it ended, he suppressed his tears.
Q2. Whose secret and what kind of secret do you want to know?
Kyoumocchan! We’ve did things as Juniors for quite a few years, but I don’t understand Kyoumocchan very well. To me, he’s a real mystery, and I can’t grasp him, so I’m curious! I feel like he’s hiding something~ (Kyoumoto who was beside him asked, “Like what I do at home?”) Ah, I don’t care about those things! (laughs)
Q3. An episode where your secret was exposed?
When I was young, I loved yellow pickled radish, so while my parents were cleaning the house, I’d hide and keep on eating them. I ate them like they were snacks! As one would expect, that was exposed, and I was stopped from doing it again, but without learning from the experience, I kept on eating it, and then I got tired of it and came to hate it. Now? I like them again♥
Q4. Recent news that you want to keep as a secret?
I guess it’s how during the last part of “SUMMARY”, I ended up crying when we were flying. When I saw Juri crying, I thought about how a lot of things have happened until now. Since February, we had been dancing together, then we did “Bakaleya”, and finally, the six of us has reached this point! Thinking about that, it struck home with me. As for private news, I’m thinking about starting fasting secretly. Reason is because I’m getting fat. More like, everyone is too thin, so I’m troubled! I’ve heard that if you fast, the inside of your body will be refreshed, so I’m thinking of trying to do it for a day or so.
Kouchi Yuugo
Q1. Tell us OO’s secret!
A1. 【Kyoumoto’s Secret】Kyoumoto has a short temper, simply (laughs). For example, the other day, everyone was hungry and were making a racket. Then, when I went to meddle with him, saying, “Kyoumoto, you’re hungry too, yea!”, he got really angry! It seemed like everyone was noisy, so he got irritated. I don’t get the timing as to when Kyoumoto’s short temper is invoked. Whether or not he cheers up depends on his mood too. That’s why at those times, everyone leaves him alone. Sometimes, when we realize it, he’s in a good mood again.
Q2. Whose secret and what kind of secret do you want to know?
I want to know about the university life of our senpai! There are a quite few senpai in Johnnys who entered into university this year, like me, right? I’m curious about how everyone is enjoying their lifestyles. When I see Yuuma, maybe I’ll try asking him. I’m really enjoying it! I can take classes I like, and next time, I’m thinking of joining a clothing remake circle. I already like remaking things normally, and I’d do things like making damaged jeans and decorating with swarovski as well. I like entering into my own world.
Q3. An episode where your secret was exposed?
When I entered the agency, I thought about becoming a person who wouldn’t speak at all since I didn’t really understand the relationships between people. But then I got along too well people, and it was fun, so my real self ended up showing! Now, I act like I’m around my home area all the time. I’m normally noisy, and am mischievous too. I think the first one to know was Hokuto.
Q4. Recent news that you want to keep as a secret?
Two shows in a row, my leg cramped up during “SUMMARY”! During the part where I have to move positions while dancing, my leg suddenly cramped up and I couldn’t move. It came suddenly, and I froze. While being frozen, I fought with cold sweat (laughs). Not to mention it happened during the same song, the same move. It was probably a dance where I had to stretch the muscles of my legs. I think all the fans didn’t realize though! (laughs)
Kyoumoto Taiga
Q1. Tell us OO’s secret!
A1. 【Juri’s Secret】Juri, surprisingly, is easily moved to tears. For “Bakaleya” the drama and the movie, and for the show “SUMMARY” too, after things have ended, he always cried a lot. His eyes were red and his face was all scrunched up too, so he was just like a baby who was just born (laughs). Juri is a passionate guy who is thoughtful towards his comrades, so after everyone has created something together like that, he probably was overcome with emotions.
Q2. Whose secret and what kind of secret do you want to know?
It’s a bit weird to call this a secret, but I want to know what my fans’ anticipation are for my next hairstyle. I grew it out to create my role for “Bakaleya”, but it feels like I’m wandering around and not sure of what to do, so I’m really troubled. If I’m going to cut it, how much should I cut, or should I change the colour... (points downwards with his finger) Please don’t hesitate and send your replies to this address...just kidding (laughs). Incidentally, this is the longest I’ve had my hair in my whole life. When I go to school, I can’t set or arrange my hair, so I go with my hair straight. The hair around the nape of my neck would curl up, and look like the tail of a pigeon though (laughs).
Q3. An episode where your secret was exposed?
When Takaki (Yuuya)-kun and the others appeared in the drama “Gokusen”, I once lied to an acquainted makeup artist, saying, “I’m going to be in it too!” Since I was still a small junior high school student though, there was no way that’d happen (laughs). Then, when we met again the next month, the word had spread to the other staff members. I couldn’t swallow my pride, so anyhow, until everyone found out about the truth, I remained quiet (laughs).
Q4. Recent news that you want to keep as a secret?
Up until now, I don’t eat anything in the morning, but I’ve had my eyes opened to cereal. If it’s this, then I can eat it even when I have no time! I like the normal plain flavour. During “SUMMARY”, before the actual show, I went to the washroom several times. For the actual show, I was able to do things properly, but when I’m nervous, I’d want to go to the washroom and it seemed like that hasn’t changed at all (laughs).
Matsumura Hokuto
Q1. Tell us OO’s secret!
A1. 【Jesse’s Secret】Jesse is a free person who is almost too free. He’d suddenly laugh out loud by himself, and while smiling, he’d say, “Well, this happened yesterday, and I just recalled that”. And I’m like, I don’t know about that! (laughs). When I’d think he was laughing because of what everyone was talking about, he’d be laughing about something he recalled, and that happened often. He has such a cute side to him.
Q2. Whose secret and what kind of secret do you want to know?
I have the image of (Tanaka) Koki-kun liking Juri a lot, but I want to know how much he likes Juri. Koki-kun would definitely come and watch stage shows and concerts that Juri is part of. I think he’s kind. I want to try asking Koki-kun, “When something dreadful has happened, and only you or Juri could live, who would you choose?” I feel like he’s going to say, “I will protect Juri.”
Q3. An episode where your secret was exposed?
At first, it seems like I’m a cool person who doesn’t talk a lot, but it has been exposed to the fans that I’m such a person who is hard to grasp! I can’t quite explain what kind of character I am either, but it’s certain that I’m not cool. (Juri, who was beside him said, “You’re a person easily elated, like me!”) That’s apparently the case (laughs).
Q4. Recent news that you want to keep as a secret?
The fact that during “SUMMARY”, the zipper of my pants broke and since it couldn’t be helped, I went out onto the stage with my zipper fully open. This is really a secret! (laughs) After finishing all the shows, it really felt great. When I looked around the venue carefully during the ending, everyone had their eyes on us, and they had come to watch our show and were responding to that. I was able to confirm once again the importance of fans. I once again realized that the ones who evaluate us and the ones who support us are both the fans.
Lewis Jesse
Q1. Tell us OO’s secret!
A1. 【Kouchi’s Secret】The fans may have an image of Kouchi being a bit stern, but in reality, he really is a kid. He’s always fooling and playing around, and he’d always talk about trivial things with me, and he’s like a toy that can move around (laughs). For “SUMMARY” shows though, only Kouchi was part of the shows for only one day, so during the actual shows, he was quite at the end of his wits. He had made expressions like he was angry at himself on stage too, so I think he was vexed. How things show on his face immediately is a pure part of him.
Q2. Whose secret and what kind of secret do you want to know?
I want to know what senpai who are debuted now were thinking of every day as they worked as juniors. When they were in a position like us, I’m curious about what kind of effort they put in to climb upwards. Compared to...hearing things from a specific person, if they would tell me about it, I want to hear from several people. If I learn about that secret? Of course I’ll make use of it with all my might.
Q3. An episode where your secret was exposed?
When I was in elementary school, my classmate found out about who I liked. Then, word kept on spreading, and not me, but my friend started to tease that girl about it. Like, “Apparently Jesse likes you”. Then, the girl cried, and she didn’t come to school the following day. It was exactly when there was a dodgeball tournament, so I had wanted to show her a cool side of myself though. By the way, those feelings faded away naturally, and I never confessed either.
Q4. Recent news that you want to keep as a secret?
I made a mistake with lyrics during “SUMMARY”. For those who realized it, I’m sorry! (laughs) As for a secret about my private life, every morning, after I finish my preparations for going to school, I’d sleep on my bed for just another five minutes. There’s no real reason to it, but it’s a habit I gained naturally after entering high school. Also, this is something really trivial, but I always use stairs, not escalators!
Take off your masks...
and show the bond between the six of you!
They’re expressing the bond between the six of them not just through words, but their bodies! With creating words with their bodies, we had them made the words “キズナ(kizuna/bond)” and “人(hito/person)”. While gluing close to each other and fooling around with loud sounds, they were high in tension on set!
(photos of the six with fingers linked)
When Kouchi and Jesse linked their fingers together, immediately, a chain with the six of them was completed! It has turned out to be a photo where you can feel their bond.
(photo of Kouchi and Shintarou on top of him as 人)
Kouchi who stretched out his body sharply to show extra length. Shintarou fits snugly.
(photos with green captions on top)
Does it look like “キズナ”?
A brief rest
The kanji “木 (ki/wood)”?
(photos with purple captions on top)
It’s hard!
The two staring at each other...
The two being dubious...
(photo of Hokuto and Taiga making the word 人)
Hokuto with a composed expression and Kyoumoto who looks cute with his peach pose (?)
(photo of Kouchi and Juri with their fingers on their lips)
Kids shouldn’t look...
(photo of Jesse and Juri, making the word 人)
Jesse and Juri. The two who naturally smile at each other. They get along well♥
(photo of Shintarou with a green caption in the corner)
Starting earlier, a one-person version too
Three out of five full articles! I'm halfway to reaching my goal~
It wasn't a crosstalk, but I think there were still some interesting bits~
The translations of the captions aren't in the order of how it is on the page completely, more like a grouping that was easy for me to translate without describing each photo, but um, people should still be able to figure out which caption is with which photo?
Hope people enjoyed this~
I'm finally doing something for Yuugo's birthday! You know, I've been paying attention ever since he joined (thanks to School Kakumei), and I can definitely say I like him a lot now (like, Sana-chan is top among Juniors, but Yuugo might second, I don't know, I can't decide on the rest after Sana-chan >>;; ), but I have never ever done anything for his birthday. It's either I'm too busy with life in general, or I was trying to figure out what to do for Tama's and Senga's birthday.

Three out of five full articles! I'm halfway to reaching my goal~
It wasn't a crosstalk, but I think there were still some interesting bits~

Hope people enjoyed this~
