Ryutaro - Myojo July 2010
2014 : 18 years old - High School Graduation
I want JUMP to release an album by the time I'm 18 years old. But really, it would be good if we got to release one right now. Also, I want to be challenged in appearing in a stage play I haven't been in in a while. I'm going to fully enjoy my high school life while experiencing a lot of things!!
2016 : 20 years old - coming-of-age ceremony & getting my driver's license
I can meet with friends I get along with on my coming-of-age ceremony so I'm going to look forward to it from now on. So that I can become an ideal adult, I need a driver's license. But I wouldn't fuss over things like, "I want to ride this car" but rather only to the point of saying "this should have a roof" (laughs) On rainy days, I want to send my family off to the station!
2020 : 25 years old - Start living by myself
So that I can be independent, I want to try experiencing living alone! But living all alone is boring so I want a partner so it would be the best if I am able to live (alone) when I am about to be able to buy a dog! What dog should I get ... It would be hard to take care of if I got a big dog so maybe I'll consider getting a small one!!
2026 : 31 years old - Marriage
I want kids right away so marriage might be sudden and unexpected!? Children are of course, important, right? Grandpa, dad, me ... I have to hand over the Morimoto family that is connected together to the next generation.
2027 : 32 years old - First child is born
Just like me and my siblings, the first kid would be a guy. His name would be Shouta (翔太). The character for "Shou 翔" means to soar the sky highly. There's "Ryuu (dragon)" in my name so with the dragon taking off into the sky, it's a parent and child collaborated name. Isn't it cool!? I'm going to make my first child a baseball player for sure.
2029 : 34 years old - Second child is born
My second child will also be a boy and his name will be "Ryutaro"!! Isn't it common abroad for parents to have the same name as their kid? I want to do that too. We have the same name but I want him to live more efficiently than me (laughs). I'm going to let him decide whether he's going to enter Johnny's or not!
2031 : 36 years old - Third child is born
My third child will be a girl! Her name will be "Erina (絵理奈)" I used the character 絵 (picture/drawing) with the image of drawing a dragon (Ryuu). It's always concerning my name (laughs).
2033 : 38 years old - Fourth child is born
There's 3 of us siblings but I think that it's good to have another kid so for my last child, I'm going to have a daughter-! Yeah but I can't think of a name for my second daughter so ... I've run out of ideas (laughs). In the future, I have to get ideas from my future wife. I want both my daughters to grow up obediently. No matter what happens, I don't want them to be kids who keep on doing mischievous stuff like me.
2045 : 50 years old - Put up houses in Japan and America
At around this time, my eldest son Shouta would have won at Koshien (This is where the Japan National High School Baseball Tournament is held) and he's supposed to be growing up as a baseball player who's going to be scouted by the Major League (laughs). It's something we have to cheer him on in as a family so it's gonna be decided that we're going to migrate to America. But I have work so I'm going to be working away from my family.
2055 : 55 years old - Challenge in acting in a play
Of course, I'd also appear on TV and movies by then but that would be after I've acquired confidence though! I want to be able to sing, dance, act and do anything. On the first day, I invite my family in America!
2055 : 60 years old - 60th birthday (Kanreki is when you turn 60 and your life has come full circle then you start a new cycle of life. You then wear a red hat and vest. Red is the color most associated with kids) & birth of first grandchild
This would be the time when my first son Shouta would gradually be reaching the point of batting clean. He will also happily get married and my first grandchild will be born! I'm the one who's going to name him but by no means, I'm going to name him "Shintaro" (laughs). We'll have a lot of relatives called "Ryutaro" and "Shintaro"
2065 : 70 years old - Start of a second easy and carefree life
Every one month, I want to try going back and forth to Japan and America. My dream is that each of my 4 kids would be married then I'd have a lot of grandkids ... we'd be noisy as a large number of people and live livelily.
