HSJ BOMBER
Exposure Talk Series
Yabu Kota
This is the corner where the members play catchball with an exposure talk. This month it's the one who yells Catch me if you can! for ten minutes, Yabu-kun. He sings about the bonds of close friendships in a play, but does he really have bonds within the group?
(Yes, they are making references to Kizuna...)
You can really trust him, he's the guy I know the most. Because I've been with Yabu for a long time ne. I think he's trustworthy, but when he stands on a stage, he's also my rival. From now on, let's do our best! (Yaotome Hikaru)
(How would one translate よろしく in this sense?)
The shy face that he occasionally shows is the best. Like when his mistakes are pointed out to him, he unintentionally shows it. I gave him a knitted hat as a present before, he uses it a lot and that makes me happy.(Arioka Daiki)
There are times when his tension is strangely high. He does things like cover my eyes from behind all of a sudden. Moreover, he does that early in the morning so it's amazing. (laugh) On the other hand, he won't say anything for short periods of time. (Inoo Kei)
The way I see Yabu-kun, generally speaking, he's cool. But he's an adult! He's very reliable ne. Also, in a good way, he knows when it is best to give up. I think that's amazing. (Takaki Yuya)
It's like he's the older brother that all of the members respect. How I see Yabu-kun, he's gone beyond being my older brother because he has become a close friend. Being with him is very fun. (Nakajima Yuto)
He's very reliable! And he's very cool! When I got accepted in the auditions for the jimusho, Yabu-kun gave me the nickname "Punyukichi" He still calls me that occasionally. (Yamada Ryosuke)
(punyukichi = from ぷにぷに/punipuni, which means squishy, and キチ/kichi, which can mean mania/c, enthusiasm/st.)
When we talked about 『DREAM BOYS』, Yabu said 「Sensei wa Eroi? That drama, I want to try starring in it too. (laugh)」 and laughed out loud with Kamenashi(Kazuya)-kun... It's erai! (Chinen Yuri)
(Sensei wa Erai is a spring drama special Yamada, Yuto, Daiki and Chinen starred in.)
He's kind... ah, I made a mistake, he's a kind older brother. (laugh) He's a very funny older brother because he often sings passionately all of a sudden at work. He's good at singing, I want him to teach me sometime. (Morimoto Ryutaro)
He's a person who is very reliable. Because the one who brings the members in order often is Yabu-kun ne. During dance lessons, he teaches me, like 「You do that step like this」 (Okamoto Keito)
Yabucchi's explanation
The members of Hey! Say! JUMP and I... are brothers! Best friends! And soulmates! In plays, concerts and other kinds of work we do, watching the group grow is great ne. From now on, although I look like I am too, I am really looking forward to what I will do as I grow. But, isn't everyone praising me too much? (laugh)
