Somehow there are many magz features PZ family recently, and I can't help to share about Travis Japan crosstalk!
They talked about things happened at the first time Travis Japan was formed and what they think about PLAYZONE.
Unfortunately Aran didn't join :( But I found this touching, please enjoy as well!

[Secret story about group formation which was blurred with tears]

Myu: Travis Japan was formed in 2012, wasn't it.
Hiroki: It's the third PLAYZONE with Tsubasa-kun as chairman!
Miya: Rather than saying it's a "company", it would be nicer to say that the PLAYZONE's casts and staffs are "family". Aoyama Theater is the "home".
Shizu: Saying such cool things, Miyachika didn't join last year and the Nissay Theater ones, did you?
Miya: Oops.
Myu: Eh. Who are you again? (laughs)
Miya: Don't say that! I was really afraid about whether the family would still remember me or not. Although, when I met Tsubasa-kun, he said "Oh, it's been a long time!" indeed...
Noel: I've told you, everyone definitely remembers!
Kaito: Listening to such story, it reminds me of fear I felt at the first time I joined...
Kaji: The pressure was so strong.
Miya: Since we joined something full of seniors, we felt strange.
Myu: Don't lie! You usually came almost late in each meeting, didn't you.
Miya: I was really nervous so I always overslept. If I hadn't slept for 9 hours, I would be sleepy...
Hiroki: It's just normal. You should sleep earlier then (laughs).
Shime: Among Otouto-gumi, everyone except Shizuya was still in junior high, so everyone seemed like children.
Myu: Except for Shizuya, these three were such a brat! If we left them for a while, they got carried away fast.
Miya: Ani-gumi has participated in PLAYZONE before this group was formed, right? That's why, when you were grouped with us who joined for the first time, we were clashed.
Noel: Hee, in what kind of things?
Kaito: We can't say that.
Shizu: It was like "Nakada, shut up." and such.
Hiroki: Yes you did! (laughs)
Kaito: "Let's come earlier!", "Let's work hard on this more!" and such... *although he uses "let's" it sounds harsher in Japanese*
Miya: Even the good-nature Myuto-kun said, "If you got scolded next time, I'll crash you!".
Myu: Because if Otouto-gumi was sloppy, people would look at us (Ani-gumi) in the same way.
Hiroki: In the end, we even got scolded by the kindhearted 4U, then all of us gathered up for the first time, then we did evaluation meeting.
Miya: At that time, Nakada-kun said something like, "Actually I really hate these juniors join. But I think, right now we can do nothing but work hard together." I still remember it till now.
Myu: Along with the talk, everyone's hearts accumulated.
Kaito: In the middle, everyone started crying.
Shime: The one who cried the most was Shizuya who did everything really serious.
Shize: Because it was really frustrating (bitter laugh).
Myu: Yup. Shizuya was really serious.
Hiroki: Well, you see, when dancing on seniors' back, Kaji always made cocky face like he always did in front of mirror.
Kaji: I-It was not for playing around, you know!?
Miya: That youngest member, Kaji, finally has become a high-schooler.
Shizu: But he's still a brat though.
Miya: But at the other time, you said "Kaji, you've grown better in dancing."
Shizu: I can compliment on his dancing. About other things, they can't be helped. Anyways, he spent too much time for nothing!
Kaji: I'll reflect on that... (sobs)
Noel: After that teary-reflection meeting, the Otouto-gumi changed. They started to be able to gather up and practice without being told.
Kaito: Please praise us more ♥
Shime: The choreograph Shizuya made in "Johnny's Ginza" at the other time, I think it was cool.
Shizu: Thanks to PLAYZONE, I started to like dancing. That's why I'm really thankful to PLAYZONE.
Myu: Even for me who like dancing from start, PLAYZONE has given experience to dance various genres.
Noel: It's good that every cast enjoys dancing truly from heart.
Shime: I'm really happy that we have opportunity to perform as Johnny's Jr. Travis made the atmosphere felt like "The casts are all main actors." so I'm really thankful of that.
Miya: Think about it again, we got opportunity to work with really awesome people.
Myu: We even can see unexpected side of Travis. He always drinks 1 Lt of apple juice so when he taught dance he smells like apple (laughs).
Hiroki: Yup yup! If I hug him he smells like apple.
Kaito: He also ate potato chips Shizuya had bought.
Shizu: When I was mad like, "WHO ATE MY CHIPS!?" and found out it's Travis, I got nervous (laughs).
Kaji: He never gets mad. If we make mistakes in dancing, usually the choreographer would scold us, but Travis would kindly said, "It would look better if you did it this way.". He's awesome.
Noel: Although he's really great, he would make himself like as the same level as us. Ah anyways, he make an adoption of choreographs that Myuto made, didn't he.
Myu: The distance is so close, so we can talk about various things.
Miya: Even Kaji exchanges mail with Travis, right.
Kaji: The other time, he texted me, "I'll come this year as well."
Hiroki: How cool!!!

[A stage where many dreams were born]

Miya: I remember in 2012 Travis and Stacy said, "When you stand on stage, I want you not to stand on the back of Ani-gumi but next to them." That's why we'll work hard to overtake Ani-gumi.
Myu: That's good. If everyone can show that feelings, it'd increase the group existence itself.
Hiroki: Somehow, unknowingly both Ani-gumi and Otouto-gumi have gotten so close (laughs). This summer, let's have a competition as good rivals!
Shime: I've been dreaming for Travis Japan to have our on performance in PLAYZONE.
Miya: I understand that feeling!
Shime: Usually we appear scattering in various songs, right. Last time, the only song we appeared together, we only took charge to liven up the audiences, so we couldn't show our dance.
Kaito: For me, at least I want to dance well.
Myu: I see. Back to our origin.
Kaito: Y-yup, maybe that.
Noel: Isn't it? (laughs) I also want to be confident, to be able to say, "This time I will win!"
Kaito: I want to show the result for what we have worked so hard throughout the year.
Shizu: But I think to support the seniors is something that can be proud of. Having various experiences, I want someday Travis Japan can have our own show. It's my dream.
Hiroki: You're right. Let's work hard aiming for our own show!

I know group formation is not something that would happen so smooth, but I've never thought Anigumi was really saying harsh things to the Otouto, and the Otouto was so sloppy. But one thing I realize is they are become so close but still competing in good way like they're now because they have experienced such conflict like that. This make me become more and more proud to be one of Travis Japan supporters.

Actually there are also part where they talk about most favorite PZ song and their habit in texting, but I might do it later if I have time... hehe.
