[translation] Hokuto/Taiga/Shintaro + Jesse, Wink Up 2014.05
I wanted to translate something after a while, so have HokkuTaigaShin's interview from latest WU. Plus Jesse's bit as a bonus, because I found it interesting.

Hokuto x Taiga x Shintaro
Hokuto
Are you attracted by words like "new product" or "limited"?
I don’t dislike either one... But the one that attracts my attention is "new product", I guess. Especially if it’s about fashion, I’m weak if those words come up. Because I’m well attuned to fashion things within juniors, if I’m being told "eh, is that xx’s new product?! Oh, it’s the first time I see it!", as expected, it makes me happy. Then, if something I’ve once bought nonchalantly is introduced on some TV show several months later like "right now, this is popular!", it feels really pleasant (laughs)!
When experiencing something new, which feeling is bigger, dokidoki(anxiety) or wakuwaku(anticipation)?
Anticipation’s wakuwaku! When I appeared as a guest actor in drama TAKE FIVE, I was really thrilled. I mean, the episode before mine was Kuroki Meisa-san and the one after Takarazuka Revue’s people!? When I first heard about it I couldn’t believe it. When daisenpai Inagari Goro greeted me at the scene spot, I was nervous. He poured black tea to a fashionable tea pot and talked with surrounding people like "this tea’s aroma, you know...". I was moved like "he’s a person just like his image!" (laughs).
From now on, something new you want to try?
When I was filming SHARK, I started wanting to learn to play keyboard properly. I like the sound of piano and when I’m in front of a keyboard, I calm down. The teacher who guided me during the drama said to me "come to me anytime", so maybe I’ll go and try learning it in my private time.
Taiga
Are you attracted by words like "new product" or "limited"?
I’m weak to "limited". I’m nicely caught in traps (laughs). A while ago, I bought a print picture of Marilyn Monroe that is drawn by this famous artist called Andy Warhol. It was limited to certain number and its size is 90cm x 90cm. It’s not yet been delivered but I’m excitedly waiting for it now. "If I turn around, I meet eyes with Marilyn", I’m about to start a life like that (laughs).
When experiencing something new, which feeling is bigger, dokidoki(anxiety) or wakuwaku(anticipation)?
It’s anxiety. Because I’m rather negative (laughs). For example, the previous night before a movie greeting I’m being attacked by many thoughts like "what kind of self-introduction should I do?", "If I say like this, will I fail?" and so on. I do understand that thoughts like that are endless. But it seems like my nervousness doesn’t show up on my face so I’m always told “aren’t you doing it nonchalantly?” (laughs). But the one who’s even above me is Jesse! He’s always just staring ahead and doing it confidently. Like, are you Kouhaku’s daitori*? You feel that much presence from him (laughs).
[*daitori/大トリ means the very last performer on a music show, for example Kouhaku]
From now on, something new you want to try?
Lately, we’re going towards spring and I’m in the middle of remodeling my room. Because I graduated from high school, I finally changed the animal patterned curtains I’d been using since I was a kid. The furniture stuff is in order, and I’m now thinking of collecting healing items like a CD with the sound of a flowing river and aroma candles and the like.
Shintaro
Are you attracted by words like "new product" or "limited"?
The one that really shakes my feelings is "new product" I think. Especially when the generation of like smart phones is changing, I really start wanting to change mine. An item I bought recently is a surfboard that’s from Bali! I lent the board for a trial ride and when I tried it, it was super good so I immediately ended up ordering it. Its buoyancy is great and the way it goes forward when you paddle is something totally different (compared to other boards). But when you see good items like that, don’t you start wanting them? That’s why there are times when I tell to the shop’s staff that "don’t show me very much" (laughs).
When experiencing something new, which feeling is bigger, dokidoki(anxiety) or wakuwaku(anticipation)?
Anxiety’s dokidoki. I get really nervous especially during butai’s costume rehearsal when there are news coverage staff or the like present. During ANOTHER, I suddenly forgot my lines on stage. My mind went totally blank but before I realized, the lines just automatically came from my mouth. As expected, when you say your lines over and over in practice, they really soak into your body and mind. I thought that it’s all really important.
From now on, something new you want to try?
I’ve captured the sea with surfing so next I want to try challenging the sky. I’d want to try skydiving. You often see it done as a batsu game on TV shows but for me, it’d rather be a prize (laughs). Just before jumping, in my mind, I’d be really excited while going "no way, no way, no way!" (laughs). Kouchi seems like he’d have chivalrous spirit so maybe I’ll try asking him along.

Jesse
The origin of your name
Once, it seems like there was a person called Jesse who could contact the gods. To want me to become such a great person as well... it seems like there is such wish included. By the way, if I had been a girl, my name would have been Jessica. I have Japanese name too but it’s really Japan-like so it somehow doesn’t match with me. People like Kansai’s Shige (Shigeoka) comes up with joke material (laughs).
A story from your childhood
I was a kid who’d easily get lonely and when I’d be staying at my cousin’s house, even though I was all happy at first, when the night came it seems like I was crying while asking "where’s daddy?". Then in the end my dad would come to pick me up, so I was a kid who’d return home. I was really a crybaby. Even now, I’m really weak for dramas’ crank ups and the like. I think that crying is uncool but after all, I become teary. One time I still remember is the time we had Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou’s movie greeting in Osaka. On our way back on shinkansen, Juri was the first one to start crying. It was the relief and the sadness of reaching the goal, I think. And then, because of that, me, Hokuto and Shintaro also started crying. Other passengers around us must have been surprised (laughs).
