7. Out of world events, what is worrying you?
The whereabouts of the male shishamo.* This has been bothering me for about two years already. Because aren't all the ones lined up in the supermarket females? Where in the world did the males disappear to? My opinion is that they're becoming animal food at the aquarium but... Somebody tell me!

Meaning the center is very deep. (From here on, back to Nishikido) Right. If no one tells you about it, you won't work so hard to chew on it, yeah? People who know me well tell people who don't know me about me, and that sweetness will start to spread... Because sugar cane has the power to hit people.
27. If you were to compare yourself to an electrical product, what electrical product?

Hawaii. My parents haven't been overseas yet, so I'm thinking firstly some royal treatment would be good.
12. If you could receive a special skill or ability from one of the other members, what would you want from who?
Maru's (Maruyama) power to get a place worked up.*
13. What's the most expensive thing you have with you today?
The bracelet that came with the Kanfuu Fighting CD. When we got them I traded with Shibuyan (Shibutani), and I'm always wearing his red one. I lost it at a concert once, but miraculously found it. This is priceless!
14. What's the moment when you think "we get treated differently than other groups"?
When our newbie manager said "I can see no future" and quit after one week. I wondered if that meant we were bad.
15. What is the thing that could make you eat dinner any amount of times if you had it?
Chanja. If you put sesame oil on and eat it, it's really yummy.
16. What person would you not mind even if there were no guarantees if you met them?
Antonio Gaudi. UNESCO's "Sagrada Familia" (In a church built in Barcelona) is amazing!
17. What's the worst pinch you've been in in your life? (it asked "A time you thought this was really bad." That wouldn't fit in the English sentence)
When I was in third grade, my stomach started to hurt on the way home. I ran home while it was raining, but there was thunder so I got really scared, and my butt was twitching. Good thing I make it to the bathroom in time... Sorry it's such a dirty story (laugh)
18. In the XX man rating, you could be first place.
From all the 164.5cm people in the world, a man with wide shoulders ranking!
19. What is something you've done lately that was kind of good?
When I go to the convenience store, I donate my change. Speaking of which, recently Shibutani, Maru, and I donated to support seeing eye dogs. We meant to each put in 1000 yen, but Maru made a mistake and put in a 5000 yen bill, but he left it like that. He's so cool!
20. What is something you've done lately that was kind of bad?
When I was in Tokyo, I desperately wanted to eat takoyaki and ate it at a shop in Harajuku. I'm sorry for betraying you, Osaka!

Shouta, Shou.

Spicy nabe. I ate it with Okura. (this nabe is elaborated on in Okura's interview)
24. If you were to compare yourself to an animal, what animal?
The result for animal fortune telling is a koala. It said koala people are romantic. I feel like that's right, but I don't like calling myself romantic (laugh)
25. If you were to compare yourself to a soccer position, what position?
I don't really know, but when I play soccer, I like to be goalie.
26. If you were to compare yourself to a food, what food?
Avocado. Because I don't really understand it's existence or it's taste. If the person I'm going out with is superficial, I also often get told "I don't really understand what you're thinking about."
27. If you were to compare yourself to an electrical product, what electrical product?
I think my features resemble the bottom of an (clothes) iron.
28. How many pairs of underwear do you have?
About twenty. I travel alot, and I always buy them when I'm travleing, so the amount is rapidly increasing. For example, when I'm in Tokyo for two weeks, go back to Osaka for just one day, then, come back to Tokyo, even if I wash it, it won't dry. There's an underwear shop in Tokyo I go to regularly, and I buy it there
29. If you were to move permanently to a foreign country, where would you move to?
Hawaii. One day I want to open a clothing store in Hawaii.
30. What do you want to eat most right now?
The takoyaki from a takoyaki shop that I've been walking by since I was in kindergarden.

For the moment, I would just greet them with a "ui~"
36. You're walking down the street and you come across a friend getting entangled with a really scary person! What will you do?
I'd go between them and say "Please stop." If my friend was in the wrong, I'd apologize with them.
37. You see the girl you're going out with with another guy! What will you do?
I wouldn't say anything, and look at the situation. If I saw that scene, my feelings for her might start to turn cold. If I really liked her, I'd wait for her to realize her error and come back to me.
38. A girl you're not interested in suddenly confesses to you. What will you do?
I'd turn her down clearly.
39. You've come to like a friends girlfriend... What will you do?
I would never come to like a friend's girlfriend.
40. If you have children, what kind of parent do you think you'll be?

41. If you could be reborn, would you be a man or a woman?
A woman would be nice. There's plenty of variety in the fashion, and it seems fun to get to paint your nails and wear makeup and stuff.
42. One day, you've suddenly turned into a woman! What do you do?
I'd touch my boobs. It's kind of mysterious how it would feel to touch your own boobs.
43. Which of the members has the loudest voice?
Hina-chan (Murakami).
44. Who is the most fashionable member?
Everyone has their own unique fashion... A, the kind of straw-looking that Okura and Ryo are wearing recently seem really cool and are nice. (I WANNA SEE THEM IN STRAW HATS!)
45. Which of the members is the most strict about time?
Basically, Shibuyan is never late.
46. Which of the members has the most power.
Hina-chan, yeah? He has lots of muscles and stuff.
47. If you were a girl, which of the members would you want to go out with?
I wouldn't be able to go out with anyone. Everyone is really popular and has alot of fans, and if I went out with them, I think I'd just get worried. Does that wrap things up too nicely? (laugh)
*really, I don't know how to say that well in English. The word is moriagaru, and it means get all excited and stuff like at concerts (probably everyone reading this has heard them on concert DVDs asking the fans "minna-san, moriagattemasuka?"). Incidentally, the "Ryuu" in "Ryuuhei" means moriagaru.
**fermented soybeans. They're all slimy and sticky and people put them in rice alot. Good call, Yasu. I hate natto. It's disgusting.
***The fatty and more expensive part of tuna with onions.
****I'm really sorry for calling the child it! He didn't mention gender because in Japanese this sentence didn't need pronouns.

I can eat any amount of plain rice

I'm a magnificent first place in the ranking of people who are unlikely to make first place!

I little while ago, I ate tonkatsu ramen in the middle of the night.

22. If you were to take another job, such as a movie producer, a writer, or a politician, what would it be?
A talent organizer. I've wanted to try stuff related to TV for a while. I'd become the organizer and think of lots of plans for different TV programs.
23. What did you have for dinner the day before yesterday?
Huh? What was it... I don't remember.
24. If you were to compare yourself to an animal, what animal?
A pig, I guess. I don't really know, but I get told that, so I guess it's true.

My body looks like a pig, so I guess pork. It's a really healthy food.

A microwave. A kind of "No matter what it is, I'll warm it up for you (heart)" type feeling.
28. How many pairs of underwear do you have?
About twenty.
29. If you were to move permanently to a foreign country, where would you move to?
I've been there once before, but Australia. When I went, I was really moved by the beautiful scenery. If I chose a place I'd never been to just by the image I had of it, I'd definitely fail at living there.
30. What do you want to eat most right now?
Of course, yakiniku. Right now, I'm especially in the mood for tan shio. I want to fry it with reckless abandon and chow it down.
31. What do you want to eat for the last meal of your entire life?
It's the same as the question before, but yakiniku. I love yakiniku a ton!
32. What is kind of food have you made recently?
...I don't cook
33. What would you not be able to eat no matter how hungry you were?
Cucumbers... Only cucumbers are definitely impossible. I get grossed out just thinking about that after taste.
34. If you were to go to kaiten sushi* right now, what would you eat first?
Salmon. I like that topping pretty well, but it's not like it's my favorite. I think I'll eat that kind of thing for about the first two, then eat my favorite kind last.
35. You meet an old friend by coincidence. If you can't remember their name, what do you do?
This is a hard question... I'd feel a bit awkward, but I think I'd just go on without knowing. I should be able to remember their name naturally when I talk to them. Even if I couldn't, I wouldn't be able to ask. It would be horribly rude to ask their name after having a detailed conversation.
36. You're walking down the street and you come across a friend getting entangled with a really scary person! What will you do?
For the moment, I'd ask the scary person why my friend was getting tangled with him.. Then, anyways, I'd have them talk it out and word to find a proper solution. Even if you do things that way, isn't it awful close to bullying? There's probably nothing to do but to persuade the person they got tangled with.
37. You see the girl you're going out with with another guy! What will you do?
For the momet, I'd pass by the scene of crime pretending not to look. Then if it seemed there was nothing going on, I'd go talk to my girlfriend. That way is more manly. But that's really impossible. It would really bother me. It would really bother, me and when I couldn't stand it anymore, I'd probably suddenly coem out and ask "Who am I to you!"
38. A girl you're not interested in suddenly confesses to you. What will you do?
I'd honestly refuse her with an "I'm sorry."
39. You've come to like a friends girlfriend... What will you do?
That wouldn't happen. A friend's girlfriend belongs to that friend
40. If you have children, what kind of parent do you think you'll be?
Um, I can't imagine what I'd do if it were a girl. I'm a guy and all. On the other hand, if it were a boy, I'd play catch and stuff with him alot.
41. If you could be reborn, would you be a man or a woman?
It's funner to be a man. I can't imagine standing in line for the toilet for so long!
42. One day, you've suddenly turned into a woman! What do you do?
I'll think about that when it happens.
43. Which of the members has the loudest voice?
Looking at the talking on TV shows and stuff, then it's Hina (Murakami).
44. Who is the most fashionable member?
Yasu (Yasuda).
45. Which of the members is the most strict about time?
Hina, I guess.
46. Which of the members has the most power.
Hina. He's always training his muscles.
47. If you were a girl, which of the members would you want to go out with?
Yasu. He's the type who seems he would really devote himself to you.
