Nakajima Yuto x Yamada Ryosuke Myojo 0810 talk
Yamada:
The first time I met Yuto-kun was when I was on a TV show's open
audition. When the audition was over, and when Yuto-kun came out of the
show, he asked me, "Let's go back together.". Yuto-kun carried a huge
bag then.
Yuto: Yes I did yes I did (laughs)! It was nostalgic.
Because our houses were in the same direction, so from that day onwards,
whever we go home from work, it's always together, and we talked a lot.
After joining the company for a year, Yama-chan said that he wanted to
quit as a Junior, do you still remember?
Yamada: Ah~, that time
Ryuutaro, who joined in the same period as me, Hasshi (hashimoto
ryosuke), and Yuto-kun were in a group. I was the only one without a
group and I was feeling really upset over it, and I was thinking maybe I
should just quit.
Yuto: I was thinking 'that's just weird! your
dance's really good, so why must you quit!?' and I stopped there. But
seriously, I noticed the sad part. Yama-chan's really easy to get along
with, and we danced beside one another, but it was only me who got
chosen... yeah. And when I listened to Yama-chan's opinions, I got dark
as well.
Yamada: That's true. Because I was still a child, so I
didn't really think about how the other person would think about it.
Just then, when I was really sad, I went to Hawaii with Yuto-kun!
Yuto:
During the job, there were some Juniors who came in too. At first
Yama-chan wasn't included into the members, but I said 'let's go
together~".
Yamada: Thanks~. But because during that time I still
didn't have a passport, so the whole trip was delayed for a week
(laughs). Even in Hawaii, we were together always. We were even in the
same hotel room.
Yuto: We were really on good terms. Till now, the fight that we had experienced together was only once.
Yamada:
And that was around when JUMP was formed, we were really close. Even
though that was a win fight (like, either one has to win), the reason
was really lame. During that time, Yuto-kun had this habit of attacking
the person that said a certain part of his body hurt.
Yuto: but Yama-chan WON'T EVER get angry.
Yamada:
then, that day Yuto-kun said that a part of his body was hurting, so I
thought 'I'll repay what he did earlier on♪', and he hit me with that
part....
Yuto: and I shouted angrily
Yamada: Also, because
Yuto-kun was a senior, so there was a big wall between us. so, my heart
was thumping so hard that it cracked internally (laughs).
Yuto:
When both of our pictures are taken, there was a big feeling of relief.
That was our first shoot together, and if you were talking about
statuses, it's senior and junior's fight. During the volleyball thing,
there was a time when we had to have our faces together, so we probably
felt pressure on each other.
Yamada: Even though there's no
longer the senior and junior wall, but the respect still hasn't changed.
For me, Yuto-kun will always be "Yuto-kun" (-kun is a prefix normally
for girls to call guys with due respect. but in their case, it's just
respect since young.) to me. Even in school, friends asked "Even though
you guys are the same age, so why don't you just call him "Yuto"?" in a
curious voice.
Yuto: True enough, people from the same age will think it's weird.
Yamada: In my case, calling "Yuto-kun" is just the same as brushing my teeth. It's a must do!
Yuto:
For me, when I hear Yama-chan calling me that I feel happy. There's a
feeling of being depended. Yama-chan is in lots of dramas, and also
dancing in the center of JUMP, when I see him like this, I'll think 'he
really did his best~'. Yama-chan's really a diligent person, I know it
better than anyone. So for Yama-chan to be how he is now, is totally
acceptable. For example, to see how much effort he put in his dance, you
can see it through his Junior times. Even though I was the one holding
onto the mic singing, the Junior that shone the brightest at the back
was always Yama-chan.
Yamada: ...Somehow, I'm really embarassed. But also, I'm really happy.
Yuto: It's first time doing something like this together. Somehow, it feels weird.
Yamada:
Yeah, it feels super weird. But when Yuto-kun plays the drum, he's
really cool. During the spring concert, Dai-chan saw Yuto-kun's drum
playing, and he said "if we don't do something like him it's ba~d" and I
felt a sense of danger. I only said it now (shy).
Yuto: Eh~, it's my first time knowing something like this.
Yamada:
That's why, do take the JUMP band seriously. Even though our success
rate is high, but because we're still growing, so it can be JUMP's
biggest weapon. Seriously, to have the best time with our fans.
Yuto:
Someday I want my drum to go with Yama-chan's dance. Even though it's
something I'm saying myself, our chemistry goes really well together.
Yamada:
That's because we've known each other for a long time~. Something that
we've done together, only us, wouldd be from dancing beside each other
in 'Seishun Amigo' (for those who doesn't know... which is impossible,
it's the theme song for 'Nobuta wo Produce', sung by YamaPi. And Kame.)
Yuto: From there we evolved together, and we'll show everyone the best combi ever!
