Yuma

Chinen-kun is this kind of person

A baby? The Chinen-kun that came down with jet-lag when we went to shoot our PV in New York. There are lots of people who suffer from jet-lag, but it was my first time seeing someone like him, nodding off while eating dinner. He was probably so sleepy that he couldn’t help it. He really was like a baby (laughs). (aww, so cute, Chii’s still is a baby after all xDD)

Intelligent Even though he’s really busy, it seems that his grades are really good. I heard that he gets all fives (T/N: in Japan, 5 is like an A in the western grading system). Even during interviews, he properly says things like “This time, we’re not going to release a CD under J-storm (the label that JUMP is under), but rather a CD under Johnny’s Entertainment (the label for NYC). It’s also amazing how he understands an adult’s situation.

Wicked tongue Even though he’s always wanting to be spoiled, to me, he becomes Do-S. He always says to me “Hurry up and go back to Osaka!” Then later he would say really cutely “Hurry up and move to Tokyo” so I don’t really get it (laughs).

Loves Yamada-kun When we were in New York, rather than with Yamada-kun, he choose to sleep on my bed, but even then his reason was “It’s because I’m always with Ryosuke” !! Those two are already a couple. (ahahaha, I love Yuma for saying this! Totally agreed xD)

Yamada-kun is this kind of person

Is undefeatable Because Yamada-kun said “I don’t know about pro-wrestling,” I taught him some moves and we were playing around, but instead, I, the one who taught him, got beaten. It was an instant kill, instant kill (laughs). I knew I couldn’t beat him in strength, but I didn’t think that I would be beaten at something that I was good at…

Beautiful “I’ve never seen someone this beautiful before,” I always think this every time, for real. This wasn’t just my first impression of him, every time I see him I think this. The beauty of his face is definitely not ordinary. His face when he just wakes up is very cool, it was as if he was born to be an idol. (lol, I totally know what he means xD Yama-chan certainly is very beautiful <3)

Gap Even though he has that kind of face, it seems that he’s not popular at all. (What!? Have you not seen Yama-chan’s fangirls before Yuma?? Their all over the place compared to other members during concerts!!) That, and also when he wears his glasses, I really can’t bear it (laughs).


Yama-chan

Yuma is this kind of person

Has lots of hobbies Fishing, baseball, biking…He’s a person with lots of things that he likes. Though honestly, I think “isn’t it better to just choose one?” (but it’s a good thing to have lots of hobbies!) That way you could be more settled, right? Yuma, did you forget that during the Johnny’s sports festival, I was able to hit your pitch? If Yuma only did baseball, then your pitch wouldn’t have been hit by someone with no experience like me! (laughs)

Fishing maniac This is from a while ago, but one time, we went to eat together and there were a lot fish dishes. And then it started with “There’s no fish this good” and he started escalating by saying what you should do to be able to catch it. Also when we went to Hawaii, he went to a store that sold fishing goods and he kept whispering “They don’t sell ____ here. This isn’t good.” It seems that his head is filled with nothing but fishing. (lol, sound’s like Oh-chan xDD it would be awesome to see the two fishing maniacs go fishing together one day haha, but Chinen would get soooo jealous xD)

He doesn’t like going overseas? I’ve never heard him say “I’m lonely” or anything like that even when he has to stay in Tokyo for a long time to do stage plays or dramas. But then on the first day we arrived at New York, he said “I want to go home.” It seems like he gets homesick if you bring him somewhere where the ocean separates home.

Chinen is this kind of person

Hot-cold personality? Even though he’s always calling me “Ryosuke” the other day when I called him “Yuri” he told me I was being too over-familiar. Even though he was happy before when I called him “Yuri”, so what’s the meaning of this!? I don’t know when to change the switch! (lol, oh Chii, messing with Yama-chan’s mind. I’m sure he’s super happy to be called “Yuri” by Yama-chan though <33)

Lots of hiragana (T/N: Hiragana are the basic Japanese phonetic characters) Even though he’s really smart, his writing is really messy, and he uses tons of hiragana. (lol, really? I always had the image that Chii had nice writing…guess not xD) Take a look at his notebook, you’ll understand (laughs). Even though he seems skillful at everything, it seems that he’s really bad with writing and drawing. The other day, in art class he drew a picture, it was one that would make you go “You’re kidding me right!?” that type of monster drawing that looks like a kid drew. I unintentionally said “It’s suuuuupppper cute!” and laughed though. (laughs)

Hates dogs But he gets along with my dog, Cookie. It seems that he thinks of Cookie as his best friend. (It’s only cuz it’s Yama-chan’s dog <3) Eh, he said that he’ll go down the same rode to be cute like a dog? Such a baka~ (laughs).

Chinen

Yuma is this kind of person

His heart is big He’s the only person that I become Do-S to. It’s easy because even if I say something harsh, he would turn it into something funny. Lately, when I tell Yuma “Hurry up and go back to Osaka!” he would reply, “I’m a demon, aren’t I.” and it would end like that. I like this kind of give-and-take (laughs).

Calming What I like is his face, voice, and his reactions are his good points. When I act like a “boke” the way he reacts with his “tsukkomi” is really good. It’s probably his Kansai blood. His face is so cool that I don’t even need to explain, and his slightly low but gentle voice is very calming. (kyaa, totally get what you mean, Chii, I love Yuma’s voice too xD)

Game If it’s something that I want to ask of him, then it’s for him to have a little more interest in games. Almost everyone in JUMP loves games, so we get excited talking about it. Yuma has so little interest in games that he doesn’t even own a single gaming device. That’s a bit boring.


Ryosuke is this kind of person

Stoic I think he’s the type of person who would go through to the very end when it comes to the things that he like. It seems that he’s very into studying Korean language right now. I know very well, being in the same class as him, to see Ryosuke studying recklessly isn’t very…well, come to think of it, I’ve never seen him do that before, but lately, even at school, he has his Korean textbook open. He’s very serious about it.

He’s good at looking after people Or maybe that’s only when it comes to me? He really does take good care of me, ne. When it comes to electronics, I usually ask Ryosuke and would properly tell me all about it. Sometimes he would even treat me to a meal. That’s why I love him (laughs). (kyuuu~~ like Yuma said, these two are already a couple xD) Because JUMP has many older members, he doesn’t get to show this side of himself much, but I think he really has the skill to lead people.

Opposes my interests The one thing I want to say, don’t oppose my interests! He often says “I don’t see what’s so good about it” about the anime and the artists that I like. Everyone has their own different tastes! I won’t tell you to try to understand it, but at least don’t go against it~ (laughs).


Goals for 2011

Nakayama Yuma
Lately, it’s about time that Chinen-kun says some good things. Even though he’s never even met my mom, he would say things like “Lately Yuma’s starting to look more and more like your mom.” And I would play along with it and reply “Really? I get told that a lot.” But Yamada-kun just can’t refrain from retorting and goes “Stop with these sort of conversations!” Well, it’s true that this isn’t really funny (laughs). But this sort of freedom is held by NYC, so in 2011, we’ll continue with these really lame but good jokes, “samuii” jokes. (T/N: the word lame is “samui” and good is “ii” so Yuma merged them together to get “samuii”)

Yamada Ryosuke
I agree with Yuma aiming for “samuii”! It’s great, it’s great! Let’s keep doing that! Aside with the jokes, I want to do a concert with NYC in 2011. MC will be a short one. I mean with us being so dull, the pauses would be a waste of time (laughs). *from the staff: “Then what would you do try to improve your talk skills?”* Rather than that, I want to do a solo corner. What about a concert where everyone can see each of our different sides?

Chinen Yuri
Rather than us changing, I would like it if more people would get to know about the current us. For that to happen, let’s see…have NYC do a variety show or something! From that, we don’t know what we will do or what good points of ours will show, but I’m just thinking that I want us to challenge many different things. I mean, Arashi started like that, right? (I love Arashi’s variety shows :])Also, I want to do a concert with NYC, release an album, so we need to do our best to release more songs ne!
