Yabu: The two of us are the oldest and youngest in the group.
Chinen: We are 4 years apart.
Yabu: But that’s a calculation mistake. I don’t feel like I am older than Chinen.
Chinen: It’s a mistake, a mistake! If you think about the long history the earth has, four years is nothing~ Being on good terms with Kota, it is because both of us like soccer.
Yabu: Yup.
Chinen: I often watch overseas soccer matches in Kota’s house till morning.
Yabu: The other day we also watched the UEFA match together.
Chinen: Yup
Yabu: There was a draw match too so it was really long. In the end, after it ended, both of us went to eat breakfast.
Chinen: We ate hamburgers.
Yabu: With that, we often gather together to watch soccer, and before that time, we just do something together.
Chinen: We take strolls at night too.
Yabu: Yeah. After work Chinen comes to my house, and we have nothing to do. So we say “Okay, then lets walk” and after deciding on a destination, we walk about 4-5 kilometres.
Chinen: We spend one hour just walking.
Yabu: While looking at the buildings along the street, we say “Ah, there are apartments built here already” or “This is a hospital yeah?”. We have such conversations (laugh)
Chinen: When we are nearing our destination and if there is a shop around, we drink tea there.
Yabu: Both of us just like spending time without any reason, or rather we don’t take notice of the time at all.
Chinen: We are fine even without doing anything.
Yabu: Probably our characters and hobbies are alike, so when we realized it, we are on good terms.
Yabu: But when we think of it, there are also places where we set our minds on going.
Chinen: We went to Yokohama too.
Yabu: It was still cold right?
Chinen: Just a little cold. We talked about “Okay, lets just go somewhere” and the only place we could think of was Yokohama.
Yabu: Yup
Chinen: Kota drove us to Yokohama♪
Yabu: And with that, we two guys went to the theme park…
Chinen: And then to Yokohama Landmark Tower.
Yabu: But we only spent about 10 minutes there.
Chinen: We walked one round at a fast pace, and went down almost immediately (laugh)
Yabu: When both of us eat together, and one of us suddenly said “I want to see the sea”, we went to the park in Odaiba. There were couples all over there.
Chinen: Yeah (laugh). I often spend the time from night till morning with Kota.
Yabu: Yeah. Basically at night. Because it is bright during the day.
Chinen: I sleep during the day.
Yabu: With that, I think our lifestyle is quite similar. It is easy and comfortable when I am with Chinen…
Chinen: Comfortable!
Yabu: But Chinen is also on good terms with Yamada and Keito. What is the difference?
Chinen: It is different. They feel like classmates. But for me to initiate contact with someone, it is often with Kota. For Ryosuke and Keito, they often invite me.
Yabu: That’s true (laugh). I somehow know the timing when Chinen is about to contact me. I know his schedule too. Aren’t there days where you think that he is definitely free? When I think “I can just go and eat alone now, but if Chinen contacts me, I will eat with him” and most of the time, he does.
Chinen: Also, when both of us eat together, it is often pork.
Yabu: Yes. We ate pork shabushabu too.
Chinen: And when we eat Korean, we eat samgyyeopsal.
Yabu: We ate grilled pork too. Both of us love beef but when both of us are together, somehow we just seem to keep eating pork.
Chinen: That’s right (laugh)
Yabu: We seem to be always oinking.
Chinen: Somehow, Kota feels like the elder brother from the vicinity…
Yabu: Yeah. For me too, Chinen feels like a younger brother in the neighbourhood. Someone whom I don’t have to pay too much attention to. We don’t report our recent updates to each other on purpose, but we still meet. I feel that Chinen is in my house about 3 or 4 days a week.
Chinen: Ahaha. I am (laugh)
Yabu: So should you start paying for the rent already?
Chinen: Nope!
