How do you call your mother?

A superstition you still believe in?
HYDE: If you eat without saying “itadakimasu”, it will be disgusting
K.A.Z: in my old place I couldn’t go out because of a big snake
Kyan: this isn’t a superstition!

HYDE: yakimentaiko, shirako (milt) sagari (belly meat of fish)
K.A.Z: motsu nikomi (slowly cooked beef viscera with vegetables)
Arly: dashimaki tamago (kind of Japanese omelette)
Your reaction after seeing Ju-ken without beard?
JIN: I went: “Aaaah…”
HYDE: What a waste! He could have held something like a danpatsu shiki (the symbolic ceremony where the retiring sumo wrestler has his hair cut) (laughs)
K.A.Z I’ve seen him at hairdressing salon. But well, more than by the lack of beard, I’m impressed by his hairstyle….
Ju-ken: oh yeah, I usually go to the same salon as K.A.Z-kun, and when I went there to have my hair cut, I ran into him. So when I changed my hairstyle, I thought: “If I keep my beard with that hairstyle, I’ll look kinda filthy…” that’s why I shaved it off. Besides, the past year has been my unlucky year, so when the new year started, the unlucky one came to an end, and I wanted to change my mood…
Arly: he looks like that artist called Kiratana.
HYDE: I heard Ju-ken had his beard shaved off. But even if I knew it, when I met him for a while I was looking at his face: “Ahhh …there isn’t….”(laughs)
Kyan: it’s better it to be or not to be?
HYDE: to be, isn’t it?
(A question from a male student) I like a girl from the class next to mine. I don’t know if I should talk to her… Were you the first to talk to the girl you liked?
Kyan: K.A.Z, you’re an expert in this kind of questions, aren’t you?
K.A.Z: Not really! (laughs) if it comes to a girl from the next-door classroom, it’s Arly!
Arly: if I were you, I’d surely tell her “I like you”. If she’s not from your same classroom, you don’t see her like everyday. It may be difficult to tell her, but you won’t see her everyday, will you? So if you tell her immediately, then you can “attack” her little by little…
What perfume do you like/ use?
JIN: not using. My perfume is my body’s smell (XD)
Ju-ken: Chanel before, but don’t use it now
HYDE: I don’t use any, my body smells naturally of roses!
K.A.Z: I don’t like strong perfumes. Neither body creams: if you sweat you become sticky.
Arly: I like soap smell. If I pass by a girl with soap smell walking down the city, I deeply breathe.
Honestly speaking, what do you have a fetish for?
JIN: Eh? I’m sorry it’s a predictable answer … the nape
When do you think “I’m cool” about yourself?
Ju-ken: When I see myself in VAMPS DVD after editing
How are you called by your parents?
K.A.Z: when a child, they called me “boku” (“you” used for children)
An awkward nickname of yours?
Arly: eh? Not that akward: Arly or Arimacchan…
