POPOLO 12/17

NAKAJIMA KENTO X KIKUCHI FUMA

We only feel destiny between us

A shinme like us will certainly not appear in the future

My comment towards Nakajima

Nakajima and I have always been together since the day of the first audition. There is hardly such relationship and probably will not appear in the future. We have been sharing experiences since the entrance from Jr. era to the debut. As far as I’m concern, there will never be such an existence. Nakajima is the only one. He is almost the same age, and it is true that I’m feeling a different kind of shyness towards him, compared to other members. When he came to my solo live, I was surely glad but also embarrassed. I have a different feeling when being seen by Nakajima and doing something together with Nakajima.

My comment towards Kikuchi

I think it is an honor that Kikuchi and I are called the strongest shinme and our relationship become a beloved subject. Kikuchi and I often talk about where there is no shinme like us in our generation that is always together since our entrance. Therefore, we want to become such unique existence. The two of us, each 5 of us have different color. Certainly, me and Kikuchi have an original color. If fans love our color, we will continue respecting that too.

“Music”

Both of them are recognizing their own world and challenging a solo work

The two who are different but fan of each other

Nakajima: Frankly speaking, I am a fan of Kikuchi’s music. In terms of music, you have exceeded a certain level that I haven’t been able to reach, so it’s amazing. And listening to the music made by Kikuchi, I unconsciously become a fan.

Kikuchi: Thank you. I am delighted. But, if you say that, I am also your fan. Nakajima’s music has elements which are different from my music. However, there are similar parts too. Since we have always been together, I became aware of your preference and types of music which influenced you. “I guess this is his favorite” or “This kind of thing inspires him”. There are time when we can understand each other. We are glad at those moments, aren’t we?

Nakajima: Certainly there is.

Kikuchi: In my mind, I often say, “I wonder if we were watching the same thing”, or “I wonder if he is watching it”.

Nakajima: I also feel that! This may be our special sense of awareness.

Kikuchi: I guess so. This year, Nakajima’s solo concert was very interesting. The concept was very clear and easy to understand. Besides, the dance performance with Snow Man was also very nice.

Nakajima: I’m glad. Very glad! Solo concerts obviously express our own color. This year, I finally went to see your solo concert, so I was able to experience Kikuchi’s view of the world and I become a fan of Kikuchi’s music more than before.

Kikuchi: Aren’t you praising me too much?

Nakajima: Really? These are my sincere words!

“Actors”

Each of them are checking out each other’s cast appearances!

Frank friendship in which they praise mutually

Nakajima: I’ve been watching all the works of Kikuchi. I have also watched all episodes of Wagahai no Heya de Aru that is broadcasted.

Kikuchi: Thank you!

Nakajima: I really like Kikuchi’s role in Wagaheya very much. First of all, I’m glad that you are starring in a drama series, and I feel proud of you.

Kikuchi: When the casting was officially announced, you sent me a mail with “Congratulations on your starring!”

Nakajima: I heard from the staff, I was really glad and unexpectedly send a mail. However, it seems really tough to perform alone for 30 minutes every time.

Kikuchi: Thankfully, but there are many lines to memorize, and I have a great responsibility to carry for the drama. It is hard work.

Nakajima: Recently, you told me “I want an energetic role as well”, didn’t you? Oh, that was a little cute! (laughter)

Kikuchi: Miseinen dakedo Kodomo janai had a really nice atmosphere, so I envied you a little. (laughter) Role of a prince in Misekodo and the role of tsundere type like Kurosaki-kun are really fitting for your personality. Personally, I prefer Hachiken in Silver Spoon. It was natural and I felt familiar, so the role was amazing. Well, but my most favourite thing is your act in “Tsuukai TV Sukatto Japan”.

Nakajima: Ahaha! I only performed roles of perverted men. (laughter)

Kikuchi: It was wonderful! (laughter)

Nakajima: Your preference is really strange! (laughter)

“Characters”

The two who resemble each other very much when being praised

Because our personalities are the complete opposite, we can always stimulate each other

Nakajima: Kikuchi’s charm for me is his cute smile.

Kikuchi: Yes. It’s cute.

Nakajima: You finally said so yourself! (laughter) However, your smile is really cute. When anyone laugh, it is wonderful, but Kikuchi’s laugh which you show when you felt happy even influenced me and makes me laugh almost unconsciously. With Kikuchi, I guess that I’ll always be able to laugh.

Kikuchi: I’m very grateful. (Embarassed laughter) Many imagine that Nakajima has that sociable image, but, in fact, you are shy, aren’t you? For example, when everyone are playing games in the dressing room, you seldom join us. Other than that, you may have something else you want to do, but, these days, you often feel shy. I think it’s cute.

Nakajima: Ahaha! I’m not cute. Don’t be mistaken. Instead, I am cool!

Kikuchi: I guess that our relationship has come to the point where it reaches the highest degree. You may feel embarassed the closer our relationship becomes.

Nakajima: That’s right.

Kikuchi: However, basically we are the complete opposite. Therefore, it is interesting.

Nakajima: No, aren’t we very similar?

Kikuchi: Such reactions are exactly the opposite.

Nakajima: That’s a joke! Yes we are completely different although our targets are the same.

Kikuchi: Absolutely! However, your ways of thinking and approaching things are completely different from mine.

Nakajima: For that reason, we can always stimulate each other.

“Future”

Nakajima who makes women’s hearts throb and Kikuchi who heats (motivates) men’s hearts

Nakajima who wants Kikuchi to play the role of Onizuka in GTO

Nakajima: When I was watching the music video of Gyutto, I thought that you should absolutely play the role of a teacher. More exactly, GTO Onizuka. If GTO 3rd is made, the third Onizuka must be you, Kikuchi!

Kikuchi: Of course. I will surely accept it if I receive the offer. I will play the role with my best efforts! (laughter)

Nakajima: I really want to see that! Forgetting the role of the 2nd season, I want you to revive as the 3rd Onizuka.

Kikuchi: If there are opportunities, I will do it with pleasure! What types of role will suit you? I think that a cool role will naturally suits you. For example, a Getsu 9 love dramas.

Nakajima: Thanks. I also like love stories, so I would like to play such roles if I can. I want to continue making women’s hearts throb! And “Kikuchi-sensei” will heat young men’s hearts. It will be nice!

Kikuchi: You really recommend me a role of a teacher. (laughter)

Nakajima: Because…it will certainly suits you!

Kikuchi: Love stories which are the most suited genre for Nakajima is nice, but I want you to act in a love comedy like Boku Unmei no Hito desu.

Nakajima: Ah, role such as that of Kamenashi-kun?

Kikuchi: No, a comic role such as Mitsushima-san.

Nakajima: That type of role? (laughter) The role played by Mitsushima-san wasn’t it too unique?

Kikuchi: Ahaha!

Nakajima: If I play that type of role, people will think that I’m a real pervert! (bitter smile) As expected , you want me to play such a perverted role. (laughter)

Kikuchi: That’s a joke! Please play a role like that of Kamenashi-kun!

Shori’s comment

The joy of prize reception

1st place? Can I consider that the reception of prize is my merit? (laughter) In fact, this time the shooting of the hidden aspect could be taken by chance. It was a rare shot!

"Where to?" A calm, deep voice asked, almost lulling him to sleep.

Sexy Zone as sweets🍰 Fuma→Nakajima: White chocolate I thought he’d be chocolate since he’s sweet but I feel like he’s white rather than dark chocolate. Doesn’t Nakajima have a „white“ image? Maybe because he’s sparkly. With an elegant sweetness, he will bring you happiness when you eat him, that’s his image.

Kento→Kikuchi: Mont Blanc Because in the past he kept saying a pun with Mont Blanc (laughing). That has been a hit. Isn’t the shape of a Mont Blanc unique? And there’s sweetness in it too, it’s just like Kikuchi.

Marius→Shori-kun: Chocolate with chilli inside His character is a little bit spicy so he’s chocolate with chilli inside! Recently I got a little suntanned and he told me „Where have you been? You’re lacking professionalism!“ and questioned me many times about it (laughing).

Shori→Marius: Chocolate fondue Because he’s a family person who interacts with many people, he resembles the feeling of chocolate that meets many fruits and marshmallows. Recently he seems to have attended international meetings abroad where many people gathered in groups.

Sou→Shori: Strawberry shortcake Because he gives off this royal feeling of being loved by everyone. Everyone likes the cake, right? Well, I’m not good at eating it though... since it makes my stomach feel heavy (laughing). Ah, of course I love Shori! Shori doesn’t give me any heavy feeling in my stomach (laughing)!!

Shori→Sou: Mackerel cooked in miso For me that’s something sweet (laughing). Hey, isn’t miso sweet? Sou kinda has a very Japanese image and follows his own imagination but he’s like a blueback fish who still has opportunities to grow more. Also miso is very versatile for cooking.

Marius→Kento-kun: Strawberry chocolate The sweet Kenty world is exactly like strawberry chocolate. Although he’s the eldest one he also has cute sides, like that one time when he was breathing right next to my ear and I got so surprised I shrieked “Hyaa!” like a girl.

Kento→Marius: Strawberry shortcake Because he’s like a princess. It’s sweet and it has a white dress made out of fresh cream like a princess. Ah well, if the fresh cream is the princess part, then Marius is the beautiful princess who is surrounded by the strawberry prince!

Fuma→Shori: Cookie Because he has a royal aura. I think he’d be something that everyone likes, so like a cookie with something inside? It is slightly sweet but not too much and you don’t get bored of it. I feel like I would love that taste for a long time.

Shori→Fuma-kun: Fruit cream daifuku Because he has a soft image with a sticky texture. Surprisingly he’s fair-skinned. But because daifuku is a Japanese sweet, I want to give it a trendy Western feel to it by adding fruits and cream (laughing).

Sou→Kento-kun: Parfait Eating it anywhere will be delicious because its presence has a huge impact! I wonder which parfait would be good for Kenty~ A chocolate parfait with ice cream to give it a special feeling? You can absorb a lot of things and it’s shiny.  

Kento→Macchan: Matcha ice cream Since he’s from Shizuoka. Also because his nickname is „Macchan“ after all, I tried to make it match nicely~ (laughing). Matcha is a little bitter and has an adult-ish taste but matcha ice cream is sweet and makes everyone happy♪

Sou→Marius: Pudding Pudding is constantly moving, right? Marius also always goes like „Ne, Sou-chan“ and fidgets around (laughing). It’s sweet but there is also a bitter taste in the caramel, so it’s perfect for Marius who occasionally has a wicked tongue!

Marius→Sou-chan: Banana Sou-chan is the only member who isn’t like chocolate (laughing). But there is a good reason behind that, Sou-chan’s inside is very soft and gentle. But like when a banana turns dark and rottens, Sou-chan will also feel lonely if you leave him alone.

Fuma→Marius: Cherry Leaving a sweet taste afterwards, Marius also turned a little adult-ish recently. That sweet and sour feeling, it reminds me of cherries. Both of them leave a cute first impression.

Marius→Fuma-kun: Bitter chocolate Because suddenly he has a little dark and mature image. But bitter chocolate is actually delicious when eating it, so I think there are many people who like it. With Fuma-kun as well, I think everyone will be addicted to his charm once they get to know him.

Shori→Kento-kun: Fruit tart You can’t start without its sweetness! For me, that is the sweetest dessert. Kento-kun is able to do various things and has many sides to his character as well, and there’s a glistening surface just like a fruits tart!

Kento→Shori: Tart The first bite is a little hard but when you befriend him, he will show you a very sweet side. Shori also has many delicate parts about him. You can also try various tastes like strawberry and eggs, I like it!

Fuma→Matsushima: Watermelon I thought of it in a second. It gives you full energy, it’s refreshing and has a certain familiarity to it. However, there are also seeds so it becomes troublesome to eat it... (laughing). Maybe from now on he will be burgeoning?

Sou→Fuma-kun: Mont Blanc I feel like his hairstyle and the shape are similar (laughing). Also, there’s not only chestnut, there can be various fruits in it, right? I guess it’s like Fuma-kun trying out various hairstyles.
