Please credit if reposting, sharing, retranslating, quoting AND POSTING SCREENSHOTS.
**Do note that I stopped translating towards the end as the interview is not on BEST anymore and I got bored.
Takaki: The part that we interact with each other a lot even in private!
Inoo: I went with Dai-chan to Singapore!
Arioka: In the beginning of the year.
Hikaru: Both of you went right? How did that happen?
Inoo: I had originally planned to go with my university friends but he suddenly couldn’t make it. While I was thinking what should I do, Dai-chan was right beside me.
Yabu: That’s a coincidence.
Inoo: I tried asking “Do you want to go?” and unexpectedly he was really into it, and our plan progressed.
Takaki: You benefited from someone else backing out.
Arioka: Yeah. We went for three days and two nights, and we were together all the while. We went to the pool, to night safari, and watched the night animals.
Yabu: That sounds great!!
Inoo: It has been a long time since I had such a trip with Dai-chan. In the past, I went diving with Hikaru and Dai-chan, and Yabu also joined for snowboarding. Takaki wasn’t with us though.
Takaki: End that topic already! Because I wasn’t there (laugh)
Arioka: But recently didn’t Takaki go shopping with Yamada?
Takaki: Yeah. I probably have more interactions individually.
Arioka: I also went on a trip with Takaki last summer.
Takaki: Ah, to Fukuoka. Arioka-kun went first and I lied to him and said “I won’t be able to make it”
Arioka: Yes yes. I invited him and he said “I can’t come as I have work” but suddenly he just came.
Yabu: In January, I spent five consecutive days with Chinen.
Hikaru: Serious? I don’t have such experiences at all!
Inoo: It’s okay. Other than the trip me and Dai-chan went on, I don’t have any either.
Arioka: Next is me! “We play around with all our might!” is JUMP’s charm right? Because I think for older guys, we are able to let our guard down while playing with each other!!
Hikaru: JUMP’s dressing room is noisy too.
Arioka: During the end of year music shows, our dressing room is beside our seniors.
Takaki: Our rooms were just separated by a partition, and we were really noisy.
Arioka: We are noisy when exchanging christmas presents.
Inoo: That’s right (laugh)
Arioka: Once, when we were exchanging presents, Kanjani8’s dressing room was beside us and we heard them saying “They sound like they are having fun~”
Inoo: The seniors are also surprised that we do this every year.
Takaki: We have been doing this for five years already right? It is really fun choosing presents.
Arioka: Isn’t Takaki the one who spends the longest time choosing presents? You take about two days.
Yabu: This year, we did our present exchange during the break between our performance and the ending in Music Station Super Live.
Arioka: This time, the interesting present was Chinen’s cheese! Yabu-chan got it right? How was it?
Yabu: It was really delicious. The taste was strong and I ate it without preparing anything else, just cutting it into small pieces.
Hikaru: I am next. “Our friendship feels great!” We can talk as if we were still high school students among the members.
Yabu: It doesn’t seem to change even from now on.
Hikaru: Speaking of that, everytime someone had a new phone, the members would start to buy that too.
Arioka: Everytime someone buys something, it will start to be a trend among JUMP
Hikaru: Games too. Recently, Ino-chan bought a game, and he said it was interesting so I went to buy it too.
Arioka: You are playing it?
Inoo: Yes. I did tell Dai-chan about this game too.
Arioka: Eh, is that so?
Inoo: You seriously forget things that people say immediately!
Arioka: I’m sorry!
Inoo: Even though you seemed interested and said “Yea yea” but you have forgotten right!
Arioka: Don’t get angry!
Takaki: Such conversations don’t change too (laugh)
Yabu: Hai! My turn. JUMP are like “members and close friends and family and also comrades!” That’s exactly what I feel. We have our own roles during work, and we are normally like friends but in a meaning where we have also watched each other grow, it also feels like family..
Hikaru: We see each other even more than our family too.
Arioka: Rather than who is the dad and mum, we feel like brothers.
Takaki: Well, the way of saying is different, but the members are on good terms.
Hikaru: By the way, I looked at Ino-chan’s answer and why is his answer the last…
Inoo: Yup. “Everyone is handsome”. When I eat with my school friends or friends from my hometown, and then eat with JUMP after that, I think “Everyone, is so handsome~”
Hikaru: Well, we have all passed the audition in Johnnys?
Inoo: That too. But it’s good also to have handsome guys of different types gathered together.
Arioka: What type am I?
Inoo: Can I answer you last?
Arioka: Eh! Why! Reply immediately!
Hikaru: How about Takaki?
Inoo: Takaki is mature, and a handsome guy with sex appeal.
Hikaru: He is wild too.
Inoo: Then Yabu and me are the serious type of handsome guys… (while saying this, he is looking at Yaotome)
Hikaru: Oi! I am doing the radio program every week with you!
Inoo: Hikaru is the kind who jokes around and the comedian type…
Hikaru: To think that you called me a comedian!
Arioka: Then me?
Inoo: Dai-chan is childish…
Yabu: A handsome kid face!
Inoo: You are already 24, I don’t know how you can survive with that any longer…
Arioka: That’s so strict (laugh)
Takaki: He throws in evil words now and then (laugh)
Yabu: I think 7 has a nice relationship.
Arioka: The four of them have their own strong points, and are often together.
Hikaru: Miraculously, they don’t clash.
Yabu: They are like F4
Takaki: I understand that!
Hikaru: Then how about us?
Yabu: Hmm. E5. The Easy Five people (laugh). But I was shocked at how Yamada and Keito knew where each other was just by their phones.
Arioka: They knew that from GPS.
Yabu: One of them is eating at a restaurant, and the other one says “He is there” and heads towards that restaurant to meet him.
Takaki: That’s great.
Arioka: Both of them are already letting their guard down around each other.
