Translation: Wink Up April 2010: Remain A Friend

Takada Sho

I don't think I've ever truly fought with my friends na...  When I get angry, my usual pattern is that I become sullen and don't speak.  How to put it?  Even when I'm not angry, I always get asked, "Why are you so mad?" (laughs)  When someone's joking around, it's normal to respond by acting a bit angry right?  Even if that person's friend understands, if by chance a teacher comes along and angrily yells, "Hey!", wouldn't your face fall? (laughs)

Of the juniors, I have a good relationship with SnowMan ka na....  Also, unexpectedly, I'm close to the members of Snow Prince.  Chino and I get worked up about yuruge! (laughs) That time, I lent my copy of the Hyakushiki-Ou Yuruge book to (Kishimoto) Shintaro ne.

And so, Shintaro tried out some of the yuruge questions on the Snow Prince members. He'd say something like, "Hm...Let's do the next one!"  Then after Shintaro would announce the answer, Chino would say in a sharp tone, "What the heck kind of answer was that?  Lies!!!"  He's really adorable. (laughs)  I would look at that spectacle with my eyes nearly closed, (a/n: from holding in his laughter?) probably looking like someone's uncle. (laughs)

Chino is the one on the top left (the shortest one/youngest one) and Shintaro (not Morimoto, but Kishimoto) is the second to the bottom on the right.  He is the oldest member of Snow Prince.


Will work on Kishi and Massu's portions later.

I can't help but think that Sho has a huge soft spot for the Snow Prince members because he has younger siblings of his own.  He was with Morimoto Shintaro in Battery too.  lol Everyone loves Chino and everyone has a good time with yuruge.

Kishi Takayoshi

At school, there's a group of us 7 that always meet up.  After school, we'd go shopping or something and afterward, because everyone's good at sports, we usually end up playing a game of basketball or soccer ka na..."Even if it seems impossible, no matter what, we'll still do it."  We also behave idiotically(laughs).  Everyone's got quite a strong character so even at school we stand out quite a bit.

Me too...even though I'm a junior, recently, bit by bit, I've come to reveal my real self.  But even so, that's still only at about 60 percent of my true self.  (laughs)

Within the juniors, I always talk with Myuto ka na...  Last year, I performed with Myuto and gradually became closer with him.  Myuto speaks like an adult and that's interesting.  Also, MisSnowMan's Sakuma is someone that I've been talking with a lot recently.  Next time, even though it's private, I want go out and do something with them.

It's been a while since I've participated in club activities but when I did, there wasn't one person who I didn't know well.  It became a bit of an inside joke.  After lunch, I'd walk around with my friends and play a game of "making new friends".  Of course, often times, it was the other party who would approach first and after talking a bit, if we clicked, we would gradually become closer. 

At first, even though it was only a week long, I was able to make 5 friends!  But I didn't approach them with just the thought of playing a game to make friends.  That's bad!  Bit by bit, I got better and better at taking initiative towards meeting new people.

Within the junior kids, I've become friends with everyone.  But once in a while I go, "Eh?  What was his name?" too.  (laughs)  The next step is to be more comfortable with the jimusho senpais na... But me taking the initiative to talk to my senpais is a bit...of a high hurdle for me to overcome. 

One day, Hey!Say!JUMP's member Yuto began to break out in a Michael Jackson song and I joined in so we sang together enthusiastically.  Afterward, I was so happy when members of KisMyFt2 approached me and spoke with me!
