[Translation] Chinen & Ohno Interview
I've translated the ChinenxOhno interview together. It's a very rough translation, so if you find any mistakes please tell me.
Even cuter than before
C: I’m more nervous meeting Ohno-kun today than last year at FNS. My heart is all dokidoki (beating really fast).
O: I was thinking of tickling you today. (laughs)
C: If you do that, I’ll just become more nervous!!
O: I was thinking of using this interview to get us closer, so I’m going to call you ‘Yuuri’. In return you need to call me ‘Satoshi’. (laughs)
C: E.eh?!?! (lost of words) Please just let me call you ‘Ohno-kun’.
O: The first time we met was when Arashi’s Nagoya concert right?
C: I was in 4th grade back then and I went to the dressing room with my parents to visit you.
O: You were very adorable back then. Meeting you again after a period of time, you have gotten cuter than before.
C: (blushing) Thank you very very much. But it’s somewhat like an Arashi’s song. (Laughs) [Note: Arashi has a song named Cho Cho Arigatou in their Arashic album, and Chinen said cho cho arigatou]
O: Last year you came to Arashi’s Yokohama Arena’s concert right?
C: I caught the signboard you threw at me. It’s my treasure and I have it on display at home.
O: At that time I asked whether you came from Shizuoka, and that felt like it was the first time we really talked with each other.
C: Yes, I answered “I was very small back then” but I wanted to say “I’m living in Tokyo now”.
O: Yes! But Chinen-kun is really doing well on your own. Speaking of which, what grade are you in this year?
C: I’ve just entered Middle School year 3 (9th grade). I can feel myself getting older, but I can’t seem to get taller. (laughs) I want to become around Ohno’s height soon.
O: Are you born in 1993? You were born in the year before I entered the Jimusho.
C: Ohno-kun really knows a lot.
O: I read a lot of the magazines. Our birthdays are close to each other as well.
C: Yes! We’re both born in November, just a 4 day difference. It seems like some sort of fate. [Note: Ohno’s birthday is Nov 26]
The 3 of us fishing, with me and Yama-chan
O: So! It’s my turn to ask questions. What’s your favorite food?
C: The dumplings my mother makes. They’re very good.
O: I like ramen. During the times when I have stage plays, it’s good to have some udon that it’s easy to digest.
C: I also like miso ramen. Udon too.
O: What about your hobbies?
C: Acrobat. Doing back flips, copying other people’s moves and such. Ohno-kun’s hobbies are drawing, making figurines and fishing right?
O: Right now all I think about is fishing. Speaking of which, JUMP’s Yamada-kun also likes fishing right?
C: Yes. This is why I get Yama-chan to teach me how to fish; then maybe Ohno-kun can take me out fishing. (laugh) Since I’ll get nervous if I’m with Ohno-kun alone, the three of us can go together at first.
O: If it’s fishing, then it’s ok. However we’ll be going straight out into the sea so don’t fall! (laugh)
C: I think I’ll most likely fall into the see. If I do fall, I’ll grab onto Ohno-kun’s fishing hook and you can reel me in.
O: I’ll just hook you to my waist like a lifeline so it’ll be fine.
C: Then we can both fall into the ocean together. (laughs)
O: When summer comes, we can go fish for Shiira (a types of fish) and bonitos!
C: Bonitos? We’re going to fish for something that big?
O: If it’s Chinen-kun, you’ll probably get fished by the fish instead. (laughs) We can go out and eat as well.
C: We can eat the fish that Ohno-kun caught. Since Yama-chan is good with cooking, we can have him clean and prepare the fish for us.
O: You’re talking about Yamada-kun again. (laughs)
C: I’m just very nervous because it’s the first time. I’m sorry.
I’m happy that you admire me but…
O: Anyway, I’m happy that you admire me a lot but why?
C: Because you are very good in singing and dancing. I’ve admired you since Arashi debuted. I have the debut CD, and I love the solo Ohno-kun did in concert “Top Secret”.
O: Though I’m very happy about that, there are a lot of people who are better than me. But Chinen-kun’s spins are really cool. During Arashi’s dome concert’s rehearsal, I was watching from the audience seating’s and I thought, “How many times did he turn?”
C: I have confidence in my spins! The most I can do is around 9 turns. Matsuoka-kun from Tokio praised me about it before.
It looks fun if we both act in a stage play together…
O: If we can do some sort of work together, what would it be?
C: I want to go on ‘Arashi no Shukudai-kun’. In a past episode, members of Arashi said that “Inside the box with the guest maybe Hey! Say! JUMP can all fit in it!” I want to go into that box once! (laughs)
O: We have yet to have any formal jobs done together. If we’re to perform together, I think a stage play would be good. Like some sort of travel or adventure setting. We got to some weird place and got lost then fell into a hole. Then we can act together when we’re in the hole.
C: Did you just come up with it now?? That’s cool! It looks fun. However, I’ve only experienced being in a stage play once, so I’m a bit worried. But if the day that I can be in a stage play together with Ohno-kun, I’ll try my best!
O: I think you are working really hard already now. So maybe at times we can go hang out with each other.
C: Lastly, I have a request. Ohno-kun, please make a figurine for me! Also, please take me with you when you go fishing.
O: Ok, you can look forward to it. (laughs)
