Kakuta Yusei
"I wish to be able to do things that are taken for granted, like greetings and having compassion, while being myself*. Also, I wish for my family’s good health too.”
*T/N: To be honest, I really couldn’t figure out what the first part of Yusei’s speech bubble meant. Maybe someone with better Japanese can help out? Sorry! :(
2013 is a very memorable year. I was allowed to participate in my admired senpai, Kis-my-ft2’s concert, and I was able to acheive my goal of “I want to perform with Kisumai!”. The time passed by happily, as if I was in a dream. The were many times where I danced the same choreography of “Everybody Go!” with everyone in Kisumai and moved around while wearing rollerskates. Not making any big mistakes and having fun dancing gave me confidence. In the song called “No More Wait”, (Nakamura) Reia, (Takahashi) Kaito and I were allowed to hold microphones, and we were able to sing in front of everyone. I’ve always wanted to sing, so I was really happy. This year I was able to experience a year that was different from 2012.
I want to take the experiences I have had in improving my singing and rollerskate-dance skills in the year 2013, and make the best use of them in 2014. It’s because I want to make my own highlights and make the fans happy. But rushing and being too greedy is no good! I plan to slowly but steadily level up.
Matsuda Genta
"I wish for me to grow as tall as (Morita) Myuto-kun! I want to become a kind and cool man, not just in my outward appearance but also on the inside.”
When I try to look back, one year has passed in just a blink of an eye. Being able to participate in a lot of school events left a big impression on me. Not only the cultural festival, the choir festival was also very fun ♪ Our class sang AI-san’s song, “Story”. In the morning, during break time, and even after school, everyone practiced a lot. Incidents like getting told, “Make your voices louder!” … that’s exactly how youth feels～. During the performance, everyone was nervous, we couldn’t do it as well as we had practiced. In the end, we got second place. It was a little frustrating, but it was a fulfilling experience. I also want to treasure the remaining time I have as a 2nd year junior high school student, and make memories with my classmates.
This year, I was allowed to appear in various stages, such as the stageplay, “Dream Boys Jet”. Seeing my senpai passionately moving around onstage made me want to try doing acrobatics. If I will be able to do it and receive a solo part, I want to showcase a beautiful dance. For that to come true, I can only keep practicing!
Matsukura Kaito
“I wish for my family’s good health, and for all things to turn out well. Particularly, I wish to do well in my activities as a Junior.”
If 2013 had a theme, it would be, “Experience • Growth”. Finishing the entire Sexy Zone nationwide tour without any injuries is a big deal for me. At the Sapporo concert, Miyachika (Kaito), who was supposed to dance with me during “Kimi to… Milky Way”, couldn’t participate and I suddenly had to dance by myself. In a short amount of time, I had to think about the choreography by myself. It was an unexpected incident, but I really did my best! During the tour, there were times when I would spot my own uchiwa. I was very touched. Aside from that, I was able to backdance for many music videos and stage plays. I have been doing Junior activities for more than three years now, but this year was the hardest～
I’m shy around strangers and I’m not very good at making friends. Until now, I have classmates that I haven’t talked to yet, and I haven’t interacted much with my senpai in Johnny’s. I want to try talking to them, but I haven’t had the chance… But still, I think I’m wasting opportunity. Next year, I want to make friends with different kinds of people and widen my circle.
Muraki Ryota
“I wish for every day to be a good day. As much as possible, I don’t want to wake up to bad things.”
The news for 2013 is that I was able to conquer riding a scream machine, which I’m bad at. On a holiday, my two friends invited me to go to an amusement park. I’m usually not that kind of person, but at that time, I was in the rare mood of wanting to go. We enjoyed ourselves with all our might the whole morning. It rained in the middle of the day and it got a little wet. Thanks to that, the waiting time for the attractions became shorter. Lucky ♪ We went through all that trouble to come and play, and I didn’t want to be the only one not riding. So I also challenged myself in riding the rollercoaster. While riding different kinds of things over and over, I began longing for more. Now, ended up liking it!
I often go shopping for clothes, but why do I still not have enough to coordinate my outfits for one week? In 2014, I want to be wise in shopping so that I can combine my clothes well too. Also, so that I won’t catch a cold and not be able to perform onstage, I will properly take care of my health. That’s the most important thing, right?

This one's been sitting in my computer for a few days now, because I really wasn't confident with the translations. But I figured I'd still post it. Hopefully I didn't end up drastically changing the meanings of any sentences. >.<
