scan: I forgot, sorry

Theme of the issue: LOVES!

KAZUNARI NINOMIYA

I love...women! (laughs) I have an older sister, and actually my relatives are pretty much all female. My first cousins are all female, and on top of that even my second cousins are all female. That's why when our family gets together, I'm the only guy around.

("Really? Aren't you actually a girl too, Nino?" asks someone in the room [where the interview is taking place])

Well, actually...kid~ding (laughs).

If I were born again, which one would I like to be? Hmmm, let me see. I've already experienced being a guy, so being a girl the next time around does seem interesting, doesn't it (laughs). But I'll probably turn out to be quite a slacker girl, who won't be spurred to do anything no matter what (laughs). I definitely won't be putting on stuff like makeup; I'm not interested in fashion so I'll probably just wear a t-shirt with shorts all the time, and my hair would be all tousled...geez, sounds like someone who won't be popular with the boys (laughs).

Speaking of things I love, there's really only gaming, right? If I didn't have this job, I'd want to be a writer for a gaming magazine. I'll have the chance to play the games I like, and not having to move around while doing your job is very appealing to me (laughs). Look, because a gamer is someone who doesn't move. The only gamer who does is probably just Yuzuru-kun * (laughs). That's right, the other day while playing games, Yuzuru-kun fell asleep while still gripping the controller. He's the real thing (laughs).

MATSUMOTO JUN

Right now I'm totally into this game called Derby Stallion! When we were doing the stage play, we got together with the staff and played it together in our dressing room. The person who was into it the most was Nino, of course (laughs). Ever since I became a Jr., I really haven't had much time to play computer games, but it's really fun when you do it after a long time, isn't it.

But definitely for me, chatting with everyone is more fun than gaming. Like yesterday, Aiba-kun and I were just talking the whole time. The Jr. are all good guys, and I love them all. During the concert tour, Nino, Ikuta, Yashiro *, the gang and I played in the pool of the hotel where we were staying at, and it was so fun~! We played tag and stuff in the pool, and it's really fun to do physical play, isn't it. This summer I was busy with the stage play, but I still got to to swim in the pool and do some shopping, so it was a really great summer.

As for food, my favorites are yakiniku and sushi. What, I've been saying the same stuff as Osaka-kun *? Osaka-kun and I live near each other; I wonder if it's just the nature of the folks living in our area (laughs). I have an idea! Next time, won't Wink up feature a "Jr. Showdown: Sushi and Yakiniku Pig-Out Battle" photoshoot? (laughs)

IKUTA TOMA

I love...Nino! Nino may be terribly blunt in his way of speaking, but he's really very kind. I'm not too keen on his always pinching my cheeks though...(laughs). However, my skin has gotten so soft because of it (laughs).

Just recently, I went over to sleep at Nino's house. I was watching Nino play computer games, and before I knew it I was dozing off on the sofa. Nino then gently woke me up and told me to sleep in the futon.

(Sitting beside Toma, Nino wears a smug expression)

After hearing all this you might think he's an extremely kind person, but nothing could be further from the truth (laughs). It's because that day, he actually promised that we'd set off fireworks on the veranda afterwards, but instead he totally ignored that promise and my very existence, and played games the whole day through (laughs). Ah, I really wanted to set off some fireworks!

("Hey I can't help it; I'm an all-out gamer. Maybe next time, okay?" says Nino calmly from beside him.)

Well, even if he's like this, I still love him. I wonder if I'll have a kouhai of my own soon...I may look like this, but I think I'm pretty good at being a mother hen. Everyone, please join Johnny's right this instant! I'd be grateful if you weren't taller than me, though (laughs).
