In his May 13th J-web, Ohkura mentioned about how when he debuted at 18, the sanbaka were at the same age (23), and they seemed mature at that time. He felt like now that he's turning 23, he can't keep up with the same level of maturity. I think what he meant was how the 3 senpais took care of the group after going through such hardship at that time until they could finally debut. Ohkura was obviously very grateful to the three for guiding him until this moment of his 'kira-kira'. I remembered posting about how Subaru missed Ohkura being spoilt and childish especially towards him (Subaru sounds like an older brother there!), so I guess in a way, the three older members still think of him as a 'baby'. :) I believe they will celebrate his birthday in Fukuoka this weekend, wondering what he'll get this time around, or if Subaru gets to accompany him on his birthday again like last year, haha!
