Hey! Say! JUMP – Duet May 2020 (English Translation)

[hoshizora20.livejournal.com]

Show me what Hey! Say! JUMP really think briefly.

JUMP is very fulfilling even with individual work. We asked them to fill in the gaps related to seven questions related to their daily lives and new lives. Enjoy the answers that shine with individuality ♪ Here are the cute, cheerful and cool appearance of eight people shot in the nice and warm weather.

Yamada Ryosuke



I’m interested in Chinen’s stage play

As expected, it would probably be Chinen’s stage play, “Teru-kun, kamitteru”. Chinen was very very very very very restless and anxious (laughs). It’s his first stage play, so I think he’s simply nervous, but I’m definitely going to see it.

I would do something with myself completely alone.

I honestly don’t have a desire to do anything with anyone right now. The honest answer is I want to do everything by myself. That’s the kind of single mode I’m in now. Today I woke up at 6am, ran to the gym alone and then I worked. It’s also good to eat alone. I also like shopping alone. After all, there’s no desire that I want to eat this or I want this (laughs). My only desire is that I want to go abroad, but I have films shooting, so there’s no way we can say right now, right? Ah! Actually, I do go out with Chinen and non-celebrity friends to eat. But if I said, “I would “eat” with “Chinen”, it would be too common (laughs).

Recently Hey! Say! JUMP is peaceful as usual.

Recently everyone has been busy, so we haven’t met up. Much less the members get together in one place. Isn’t today the first time in a long time? Uhh, the question was, “Recently JUMP is…”, right? Everyone is the same… I mean… is the status quo maintained? Peace? (laughs). But I think “as we usually are is the most happiest”.

I was recently contacted by a friend

My friend messaged me in the morning and said, “I’m training in the morning. What should I eat?”. Ah, I thought he wants to build muscle, so I replied with one word, “Protein”. Occasionally I send a long message when it comes to work, but the rest of my messages are always brief (laughs).

If I had to say one, I wish I had studied when I was a student.

You know, I’ve done everything I wanted to do, so there wasn’t such a thing as, “I should have done this” (laughs). So I applied “study” more or less in the sense that I could only do it when I was a student, but either way I don’t think I should’ve studied (laughs).

I’m a bothersome boy.

It would be bothersome (laughs). Especially during shooting dramas or movies, I become extremely bothersome (laughs). When you start shooting, you not only have to pay more attention to your acting but also your health. That’s the best you can do. I’m not a person who can do many things at one time, so it might be that a part of me is abandoning other things.

The shape of a living room is important when choosing an apartment.

It’s ideal that the living room is square. If the shape of the room corner collapses even a little due to steel frames and pillars, it will become difficult to place furniture. It’s my favourite furniture that I was fussing over, so it’s important whether or not it fits perfectly in the living room.

Chinen Yuri



I’m interested in quizzes

Recently, I’ve often been watching videos of students from the University of Tokyo doing quizzes. There are only really difficult questions, so rather than answering the quiz myself, I feel like I’ll listen to the answer and gain knowledge. But lately, there is an app that let’s you quiz-battle with somebody on the net without being together, I really play it. Surprisingly, I’m always in the top rank, so it’s becoming more and more fun (laughs).

I would update my music with Arioka

Arioka Daiki is good if you want to listen to music. When I wonder if the music I listen to has become stuck in a rut, I ask Daiki what is new. After all, we have to accept new information continuously. From music Daiki simply thinks is good, to the newcomers who are likely to come in the future, to things I don’t usually listen to much, he shares with me a lot, so my range in music expands.

Recently Hey! Say! JUMP is each doing something.

Ryosuke has a movie, Takaki and I have stage plays, Yabu has a musical, Yutti and Inoochan have dramas, Daiki and Hika have “Hirunandesu!”. Everyone is each doing something.

I was recently contacted by many people

Since I’m starring in my first straight play, “Teru-kun, kamitteru!”, many people messaged me and said they were going to go. For me, you shouldn’t say that specially. I feel like you should want to come silently (laughs). Because there’s pressure! I’m just going to be aware of it. That’s why I replied, “It’s okay if you don’t come” (laughs). The practice hasn’t started yet, but I received the first draft of the script and read it. Although it’s a lively comedy, as a mystery it is standard, I liked it and thought it was interesting. Still, stop sending messages saying I’m going to your stage play.

I wish I had done club activities when I was a student

In my first year of middle school, I was in the computer club, but after school I gave priority to dance activities and I was an absent member with my name only for the club activity. I wanted to experience middle or high school club activities, or university club activities.

I’m a smartphone boy.

I live my life entirely through my smartphone now. Because it’s all about watching videos, listening to music, understanding what’s happening in the world and the news, staying connected and paying. If by chance, I were to drop it or break it, my life would stop (laughs).

The balance of location, size and price is important when choosing an apartment.

If you are searching for an apartment, you start with “the location is generally around here”, and then, “I want around this size” and then, “The price is… oh it’s a bit expensive”. The balance of these three things are important.

Nakajima Yuto



I’m interested in masks of the near future?!

It’s a mask that’s been developed overseas, and it’s like transparent goggles. So you cover your nose and your mouth, and there is a small fan on the left and right side so it seems you can always take in clean air. I’ve been interested in it since I saw an advertisement. While I was thinking, “I definitely can’t wear this (laughs)”, I also thought “I’m testing things out” and it clicked. It will be good material for a story, so when it arrives, I’ll take it to the shooting location of “SUITS 2” ♪

I would have a meal together with Chinen

Yamada-san said on the radio that Chinen was boring because even if he wants delicious food, he doesn’t react, but on the other hand, I think it would be good to go out and eat together with Chinen. When you have something you want to eat, you can say it clearly and it’s easy to choose a restaurant. I won’t even talk about how people eat gourmet food. Also, the reaction isn’t big but Chinen will also say this is delicious (laughs)

Recently, Hey! Say! JUMP hasn’t met

Probably because I’m shooting a drama. But it’s fun for everyone to be as excited as usual, right? Of course, reporting to each other about recent events also puts pressure on people’s work (laughs). The one who seems to have become a target now is Chinen. Even though he was preparing for his first stage play and was nervous, Takaki-kun and Yabu-kun said his stage play was soon and made him more nervous. It’s cute when Chinen rebuttals with, “You also have stage plays” (laughs).

I was recently contacted by my friend who is an announcer

The other day, there was a recording for a promotion for “SUITS 2” on a program. An announcer friend, who is also a private friend, was in charge of the narration to make the show run smoothly. We haven’t been in contact with each other recently, but on the day before recording, they sent me a message asking if I was coming tomorrow. It made me happy.

I wish I had studied more when I was a student

Since I was a student that picked up things easily, so if I had studied things like English well, I should’ve learned it quickly because it was naturally accustomed for my body. Also, when I watch quiz shows, I was surprised that I was weak to questions related to world history and geography, and I thought I shouldve studied more!

I’m an indoor boy

Except for work, I leave the house to get my hair cut, go to the supermarket… It’s the bare minimum level. On my off days, it’s a bother to just go out and get dressed. After all, I spent time playing games and watching foreign dramas.

The sun exposure is important when choosing an apartment

Since I’m a person who rarely leaves the house except for work, the most important thing is to have good sun exposure. When the sun exposure is good, Pakira (ornamental plant) can grow well quickly!

Yaotome Hikaru



I’m interested in the endings of popular anime movies

Recently I often watch royal anime like “Chibi Maruko-chan” and “Anpanman”. I like it because it’s directed at children, so the movie version isn’t too long and there are a lot of works that are really impressive to watch. Then, I recently saw “Crayon Shin-chan: Fierceness That Invites Storm! The Kasukabe Boys of the Evening Sun”. It’s rare for the “Crayon Shin-chan” works, as it features a story that’s easy to understand and a feeling of clarity after watching it, but the ending is a little hard to understand. I’ve been wondering about how I should interpret it.

I would do another stage play together with Takaki

To think back on the stage play that I co-starred with Takaki two years ago, “Bara to Hakucho”, it was fun to perform with Takaki. If I changed my acting a bit, Takaki also changed his, so I could make a strategy. So next time, I want to co-star in a different genre!

Recently, Hey! Say! JUMP has many individual projects.

Every member each has dramas, movies and stage plays. All the members gather about once a week. But that time is also important. It’s nice to think that’s it’s really fun to meet after a long time.

I was recently contacted by Iwamoto Hikaru

To be precise, the one who was contacted by Iwamoto was a Jr., Motoi Shunsuke. I was eating a meal with Motoi when Iwamoto called, who Motoi idolises as a “brother” (or “aniki”), and I was surprised so I answered it with “Hi!”. Then Iwamoto said in a low voice, “Hey! Who are you?”. Even if I said, “Me, me ♪” I still felt like, “Stop joking! Who are you?”. So when I said I was Yaotome, and he said “That is sly!”, it was interesting (laughs).

I wish I had studied maths more when I was a student

When I’m surfing the net, I sometimes come across videos about solving maths problems. People close to me praise it and say that the formulas are interesting, but I’m not good at maths so I don’t understand the fun of it at all. I feel at a disadvantage because of that, and I regret not studying more.

I’m a gluttonous boy

At the end of last year, I was on tour so I had a moderate amount of food, but during the New Year holidays, my appetite exploded. After I realised the joy of eating again, my gluttony accelerated. It is the norm to eat one meal three times a day. Recently I had a “one-person cookie party” where I continued to eat plain cookies and chocolate chip cookies as a snack until I got tired (laughs).

The kitchen is important when choosing an apartment

It is absolutely required that there are three stoves and that there is a large space between the sink and the stoves. That space in my previous apartment was so narrow that I couldn’t even lay the cutting board sideways.

Yabu Kota



I’m interested in Takefusa Kubo-san

Kubo-kun, a soccer player! He’s only 18 years old, but he has a great talent. When I see Kubo-kun’s games, I feel like I go from joy to sorrow. I think sports are a self-protection. I will support the players because I feel like they are doing things I can’t do, but I feel like I’m doing them. I watch games without fail, but it’s late at night because the game is played overseas. So during the reason I don’t get enough sleep (laughs).

I would do shopping with Kitayama Hiromitsu

When I buy clothes, I’m the type who decides on their own, even if I try it on but don’t let others see it. But Kitamitsu always opens the curtain when trying on clothes and comes out and says, “What do you think, Yabu?”. Also, I will also decide to buy it or not with one word. When I’ll say, “I’ll do it”, I’m definitely buying it (laughs). I like to see Mitsu shopping comfortably.

Recently, Hey! Say! JUMP is well

We’re fine as usual. We have a lot of individual work at the moment, but we’re sharing the schedule so we can see the job everyone is doing. Speaking of which, when Chinen doesn’t respond to the group messages of “Miyatakai”, I check and say, “Chinen, when you have free time you don’t resoond” (laughs).

I was recently contacted by Tsukada Ryoichi

Recently when I came home early and was comfortable, Tsuka-chan called me and said, “I really want to see you so please come!”. I had just had a bath and was just going to sleep later, but I changed clothes once again and went to see him (laughs).

I wish I had made friends when I was a student

I was in puberty, but I wasn’t the type to actively start conversations. I was embarrassed to talk to girls and didn’t talk to them, and had a few male friends. After the graduation ceremony, my classmates seemed to have gathered at a family restaurant, but I wasn’t invited and I was shocked (laughs). I wish I could’ve spoken more and make friends with more people.

I’m a parka boy

I like parkas and wear them often. But recently Mitsu has said, “You like parkas, right?”. Even though I’ve worn them for a while, I’m the one who says it like a parka boy so I don’t like it (laughs). Mitsu likes similar clothes. When we met each other after shopping, I happened to buy a different coloured parka. When you wear it, it’s surprising so we said before we wear that parka, let’s contact each other.

The positioning of the air conditioning is important when choosing an apartment

I’m not picky about it. I care about the position of the air conditioner. I don’t like to sit in a place where the air can hit me directly. Also, I like places with bad sun exposure. I can’t forgive it if I wake up and it’s dazzling.

Takaki Yuya



I’m interested in dogs

Recently, while I take walks, I take detours to pet shops. I think I was lonely at home alone, so I went to find solace (laughs). I also see cats, but I notice dogs. But, thinking about various things, I know that I can’t have one now, so I take a step back and look at it through the glass calmly. I don’t touch or hold it either. The storespeople ask if they should take it out, and I refuse and say it’s okay. Even so, recently there was a cute black toy poodle and without thinking, I glanced at it and thought, “This is nice,” but I held down my emotions (laughs).

I would shoot together with Bishounen

If I could shoot together with the Jrs., Bishounen would be good. The reason is because I also want to be called “Bishounen” (laughs) (T/N: Beautiful boy). Because nobody has said that to me once in my life. Everyone in Bishounen is used to being told, so I would like to shoot together with them and taste that feeling.

Recently, Hey! Say! JUMP is in one word, “Long time, no see” (Hisashiburi)

Recently we’ve been doing a lot of individual work, and we don’t get together much, so when we meet, we say, “Long time, no see” (laughs). But after all, the group is good. The fact that everyone is each doing their best makes me feel like, “OK! I’ll do my best too”.

I was recently contacted by Kiriyama Akito

To be precise I was the one who contacted him, but I talked to Kiriyama about his stage play. Unfortunately before I went to see it, I had to refrain from going to the performance due to countermeasures against the new coronavirus, but I was really shocked because I really wanted to see, “Naku Romeo to Okoru Juliet” starring Kiriyama.

I wish I had a lot of romances when I was a student

I thought it would be useful for a performance if I had experienced various romances to apply to the stage play, “Uragiri no Machi” (laughs). There may be love that only this generation can do, so I want to various patterns such as importance and level of commitment.

I’m a sharing boy

I don’t like fighting, so I’m the type who likes to share everything with everyone. So I said before that I didn’t want anyone to be in the room that stores wine, but when we drink it, we plan to share it with everyone.

Size and a hidden room is important when choosing an apartment

It I’d ideal to have a spacious~ apartment of about 80m² and a terrace of about 80m² (laughs). Also, I want a “hidden room” that even close friends can’t enter. It’s not a suspicious room, I need a room where I can store wine. There are wines that can be stored long-term that we can decide to drink after 20 or 30 years, so I want to manage the temperature and humidity properly. I don’t want to touch it unnecessarily, and I also don’t want to cause it to vibrate due to people coming in and out.

Inoo Kei



I’m interested in home appliances

I have many home appliances that I’ve been using for years, so I’m thinking that I should replace them soon. What I’m particularly interested in is a washing machine. I’m interested in what the features on the latest washing machines would be, so I would like to visit a store once and see. I’m not familiar with home appliances at all, but I’m also not the type to do research in advance, so I like to make the choice while learning from the salesperson.

I would go out to eat with friends

After all, it is more appealing to eat a meal with someone than to eat it alone. I don’t like eating alone, so when I eat, I will contact my friends and find someone who can meet my plan. The place I often go to has my favourite sushi. It’s also fun to think about where I will eat with my friends, so I will go to various restaurants depending on the mood of that day

Recently, Hey! Say! JUMP is all busy!

Recently, we’ve each been active in preparing for stage plays or shooting TV programs. I think it’s a good thing to be busy and I want us to do our best. We all met after a long time today, but we have a good relationship like always and we’re excited (laughs).

I was recently contacted by friends from the same generation.

Recently, I’ve been getting a lot of news about marriage. There are times when the information comes by message or phone, and there is also a pattern of if you go out and eat someone will say they’re getting married. I think it’s also an age related thing, but I’m also surprised that I’m already that old too. It’s a deep emotion when your close friends get married. If it fits with my schedule, I would love to attend a wedding.

I wish I had studied more when I was a student

It was only in my student days that I had a lot of time to study from morning until night. Even in elementary school I woke early and after that was middle school, high school and in my university days I woke up early and studied. I studied so much so I think I should have retained more things, but it still wasn’t enough! I think it’s hard for students now, but it’s best to do it, so do your best!

I’m a boy who sleeps too much

Lately I’ve been randomly sleepy. I wonder if it’s because it’s spring? It’s a bother to go outside even on my off days, so I’m either sleeping at home or relaxing. After all, the time when I’m most calm is when I’m at home. I order a meal for delivery and finish it, and after that, I watch TV while relaxing. Recently I’m checking the news programs a lot. But I’m still sleepy, so I repeatedly fall asleep on the sofa while watching (laughs).

The house layout is important when choosing an apartment

I’m not picky about it. I don’t cook, so a regular kitchen is good, and it’s good if a bath is included. I don’t care about the sun exposure. My only concern would probably be the size. It’s better to be open-minded, so the big layout of the living room is better.

Arioka Daiki



I’m interested in camping

Recently, I have an interest in camping! When I watched my favourite foreign survival programs, I wanted to have that kind of outdoor experience. My friends had already started camping, and when they showed me pictures, it seemed like a lot of fun! It would be fun to set up a tent, to create a place to grill ingredients, and to create your own space. I want to debut soon!

I would play a mystery solving game with Chinen

Recently, I went to play a mystery solving game with Chinen. It was my first time to try it! I was the type that solved the mystery while escaping, but after all Chinen is alert. When he sees a problem, the insight is quick. I was happy that there was a problem I could solve, and I was pleased I could escape safely.

Recently, Hey! Say! JUMP is meeting after a long time?!

Everyone each has so many individual activities, so we don’t really meet. Everyone is doing their best, so it’s fun to hear about the current situation when we meet in a long time! We met again today after a long time, and Chinen seemed to be very happy. He was like an elementary school student whose tension was rising during spring break as he was making a weird face next to me during make-up (laughs).

I was recently contacted by Shimazaki Wakako-san

I sent a congratulatory message to Shimazaki Wakako-san for her birthday. When I sent her a message, Wakako-san always replies to me like a mother, but at the time, at the end, “Let’s be loved by the staff members” was written. Even though it’s a celebration, I was encouraged to do my best.

I wish I had prepared for the school festival when I was a student

When I was a high school student, I didn’t participate in the preparation for the school festival, so I wanted to do it in a sense. Everyone who was preparing while thinking about various things seemed to have fun. The churro stand and the food system was real and delicious! But I also wanted to experience the salesperson side. But I was able to attend the school festival on the last day. I teamed up with Yamada and Chinen to participate in a dance competition held on the school grounds. We came in 3rd place! (laughs). It’s a good memory.

I’m a boy who mostly likes things boys likes

I mostly like things that could be for boys. I like cars and shoes, I like food like hamburgers, omelettes… I like the regular things boys like.

Sun exposure is important when choosing an apartment

It’s better if the sunlight comes in properly. I once had an apartment where there wasn’t much sunlight, but when it got a little bit of light, I was happy. The decorative plants also moved with all their might to a place where the sun hit, but ultimately they withered and I was shocked. Also, I’m happy if there is a picture rail in my apartment. There’s one in my apartment now, and I decorate it with photos I received from Takaki or pictures my friends drew.

Comments

[flick101studio.livejournal.com]

Thank you for translating! I love the question of choosing an apartment. How interesting!
