BULLET TRAIN Official History Book Signal -10th Anniversary- Cross Talk Part 3/3
-How would you describe Choutokkyuu 5 as a family?-
TAKUYA: Takashi would be the mom.
KAI: Mamashi. (Mama + Takashi) Ryouga would be the dad. Papatsu. (Papa + Funatsu)
TAKUYA, YUKI: Yeah, yeah.
TAKUYA: Kai would be the eldest son, I’m the second and Yuki would be the youngest.
RYOUGA: Really? Yuki should be great grandpa.
KAI: Yuki is either the youngest child or the great grandpa.
TAKUYA: Well, I’m actually the eldest son.
RYOUGA: Really? So you’re the eldest~ Hee~
TAKUYA: I’m just saying what fits me.
RYOUGA: Eh? What do you mean?
TAKUYA: I’m just saying what fits each member. (laugh)
RYOUGA: You mean anything goes? That’s awesome.
TAKUYA: The right person in the right place.
RYOUGA: So that means Takuya is a newborn baby.
KAI: Then, Yuki is definitely a great grandpa! (laugh)
RYOUGA: Ahahha (laugh). Kai is more like an older sister who is good at taking care of her younger siblings instead of an older brother.
RYOUGA: Somehow, “eldest son” gives off an impression of solitude to me. Well, I’m an only child so I don’t really know. (laugh)
-Choutokkyuu’s catchphrase when you debut was “Respect Korean Japanese Pop”. What kind of catchphrase would you add to Choutokkyuu in the future?-
KAI: “Respect World Japanese Pop”.
KAI: It fits with the timing of our album “Dance Dance Dance”.
RYOUGA: Well, for me I really put importance in our concept of being “unique, one and only”.
TAKUYA: For me, “weird people”.
TAKASHI: I think... How about “Love Me Free”?
RYOUGA: He did it! (laugh)
*TAKUYA: I’ll throw this pen to you! (laugh)
*RYOUGA: You’re bullying him! (laugh)
TAKUYA: I’m not! (laughing)
RYOUGA: It’s a very good phrase though! (laugh)
KAI: There’s a devil here. (laugh)
*TAKUYA: Really, you always make fun of him.
-Ahahaha. Lastly from Yuki!-
RYOUGA: He’s gonna come up with a good one. Come on, spill it.
YUKI: I guess... it’s “BTD”.
YUKI: “BTD” stands for “Bullet Train Desu!”
KAI, RYOUGA: That’s BTS! (laugh)
YUKI: Thank you. You saved me! (laugh)
*It is unclear who Takuya and Ryouga is actually referring to. From the flow of conversation it seemed like either one of them were laughing at Takashi but both of their next lines sounded like they were backing up Takashi.
Ryouga’s lines suggested that Takuya was guilty but Takuya’s lines suggested otherwise. I leave it to your imagination ^^”
