Fresh Junior Introductions from February 2008

I was watching an episode of Shokura that aired in February 2008 where you can begin to see the makings of pieces of Sho's unnamed group.  Misaki from B.I. Shadow was also bunched with them--probably same time of entrance.  I thought that was interesting.





The theme for that episode was "Treasures/Precious things" and so Nakamaru and Koyama asked the fresh juniors, who happened to be Nakada Hiroki, Masuda Ryo, Takada Sho, Takahata Misaki and Ookawa Keigo what their treasure was.

Nakada Hiroki answered that his treasure was his soccer ball because through joining soccer, he was able to make a lot of friends.  Aw....

Masuda Ryo answered that his treasure was the guitar that his parents bought for him.  Something about a band??  But it's interesting--I wonder if he can really play.

Sho answered that his siblings were his treasures.  He said he had a sister two years younger than him and a brother three years younger and that they're a big part of his life.  I really did go, "Aw..."

Takahata Misaki answered that it was his trumpet?  I think he just started playing so he wanted to become better.

And Keigo.  It was so sad.  Ookawa Keigo aka Sho's ramen buddy/best friend (I'm assuming) said that his dad suddenly passed away the previous year (in 2007) so his treasure has become his family.  He said that they've become even more important to him now.

The look on Koyama and Nakamaru's faces....they wanted to comfort him but it was Shokura, where they sell smiles.  They told Keigo that from here on out, it would get better.  Getting into Johnny's was the hardest obstacle.
