Duet May 2010: Make Me Your Friend!

First we'll begin as friends...!?

When speaking of April, the first thing that comes to mind is a new school year.  And when speaking of the new school year, you can't forget self introductions!  This month, we asked each of the juniors to give us self introductions.  Will they be able to make 100 friends!?

増田良
Masuda Ryo

ますだ・りょう
DOB: 9/26/1993
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 55kg
Place of Birth: Tokyo
Blood Type: B

Self Introduction:  Patience is not one of my strong points, but rather a weak point.  (laughs)  Since I suck at sports, I feel nervous around girls who are well coordinated.  Right now I'm obsessed with American comics!  They also become a tool for learning English!  My favorite food is gateau chocolat (chocolate brownie type cake) and I hate strawberries!  Strawberries seem sweet but sometimes there is a sourness mixed with it and I don't like that.  Someday I want to have a bad guy role in a drama like Gokusen.  From here on, I want to work hard at acting! 

Current Status: The other day, I went to the amusement park with four of my friends.  For the first time in my life, I took on the challenge of roller skating.  I really look up to Kis-My-Ft2 and I always wanted to try it.  However, once I put on the skates and went into the rink, I looked like a joke....  I mean, I was able to continue skating but I thought, "Singing and dancing like this is simply impossible!"  I've gained a new respect for Kis-My-Ft2.

高田翔
Takada Sho

たかだ・しょう
DOB: 9/14/1993
Height: 172cm
Weight: 53kg
Blood Type: AB

Self Introduction: I'm always cheerful!  But since I'm a moody person, I can also suddenly become depressed! (laughs)  The type of girl I like is casual and has a gentleness to her.  I'm currently obsessed with reading manga.  My favorite food is meat ♥ and fried pork is seriously delicious.  I love dramas and someday I'd like to play the role of an antagonist.  I don't have confidence in action type roles but I've read hand-to-hand fighting manga and so I've already done image training!

Current state: Recently, I've been interested in people who do really great imitations of singers or actors.  They're really great at being able to capture certain characteristics of who they are imitating ne.  So in order to broaden my skills, I've decided that I too will practice imitating.  Eh?  What's wrong?  Well, isn't it okay?  (laughs)  First I'll copy Masuda's great singing na.  ("Then teach me how to act!!!" by Masuda)  Okay, that sounds good ne~.  Let's exchange our techniques!

岸孝良
Kishi Takayoshi

きし・たかよし
DOB: 9/18/1992
Height: 180cm
Weight: 60kg
Blood Type: O

Self Introduction: I have a bright personality.  I'm also shy when it comes to meeting new people, but if we spend at least 3 days together, it should be okay. (laughs) I'm good at ball games and right now I'm really into basketball.  I've been playing the piano since I was in first grade.  The kind of girl that I like is a girl that I can talk to easily because I really can't stand silence ne.  My favorite food is yatsuhashi!  I was really surprised when a fan made an uchiwa with the word "yatsuhashi" written on it but I was also really happy ♪.  I love how Yamashita (Tomohisa) dances.  Someday, if I could dance as well as him, that would be great! 

Current State: From spring to my senior year in school is my final time studying for exams. (sweats)  By the time I think, "I seriously need to work hard...," I find myself addicted to something like snowboarding ne... (laughs)  But since it will be the end of my life as a high school student, I'd like to continue earnestly in both my hobbies and my studies.  For a change of pace, sports are ideal.  Being spontaneous is also good ne.  I love mountains!  My parents say to me, "It would have been great if you were born in the countryside na..."  I love it when they say that.  (laughs)
