Yabu Kota
Q. Have you ever had a mysterious experience?
In junior high school, I went to the bath with Hikaru when we were in Thailand, and when we were having our shower, both of us heard the other person calling our name. But both of us had no impression that we did that. After that, the cups on the sink all started falling down one by one, that was really scary.
Q. What do you think is a mysterious scenery?
There are natural hot springs in Akita, and the waterfalls there have become natural hot springs. It felt great watching the sunrise in such a wonderful location while bathing there~ But it was my mistake placing my smartphone near the rock walls. The wind blew and my phone was soaked (laugh)
God, please give me all these for the tour!
To the God of fast-changing: I wish I won’t create chaos backstage.
Each time, it is really tiring changing out of our clothes fast. We have to hurry and every time we get off the stage, it feels like a disaster (laugh). I don’t really fail but I wish I will be able to do it smoothly this time too.
To the God of throats: I wish my throat will be okay
My throat gets dry easily. It is dangerous when we have two shows per day for 3 consecutive days. My tension rises and I shout without thinking, but after that I will reflect upon it too. I hope it will be okay till the end.
To the God of temperature: Please make the temperature more uniform (laugh)
Depending on the location, the temperature is difference and the way my sweat comes out is different too. Sometimes, my hair is already wet from sweat from the third song. I know it is impossible, but I hope the temperature during summer can remain at 25 degrees.

Q. Have you ever had a mysterious experience?
Previously during a location filming at Mount Fuji, we went to a cave full of icicles. When the light shined on the icicles in the dark cave, it was really pretty. There were also reverse icicles. Being able to see such a mysterious sight, it was a valuable experience for me.
Q. What do you think is a mysterious scenery?
In the past, 5 of us BEST members went to a place where there was a “scenery that is worth a million dollars” in Hawaii. And what we saw was streetlights that shown with an orange light. It was only about 5 minutes but that is a nice scenery that left an impression in my memory.
God, please give me all these for the tour!
To the God of eyes: Give me eyes that can see well!
It is just fine if it is just for the concert, but I think it is great if my eyesight can be about 4.0 (laugh). With such eyesight, I can see even the corners of the whole place, and i can also see the expressions of fans much more clearly than normal.
To the God of physical strength: Give me unlimited energy!
I want strength that will definitely not make me tired no matter how much I move. If I had such power, I don’t have to think about the distribution of my energy and I can enjoy with all my heart during the concert. I want him to give me unlimited strength.
To the God of protecton: Send the fans home safely
Please watch over the fans and see that they return home safely after the concert. I have had such experience before too, it is really tiring returning home after a concert. So please use your powers and let them return home earlier and safely!
Popolo crosstalk: Yabu x Hikaru
Hikaru: Let me talk about myself first. I always thought I cannot swim but actually I can.
Yabu: It seems so~ Recently you are really into going to the pool?
Hikaru: Yeah. It is a trend among JUMP. I thought that I cant swim so I want Yuya to teach me, but actually I can do the breast stroke and freestyle.
Yabu: Why did you think you cannot swim?
Hikaru: I couldn’t swim when I was a kid so I kept thinking I couldn’t swim from then on. But when I tried, it turns out that I could (laugh)
Yabu: You went with Chinen this morning too right? Last night, Chinen invited me too but I couldn’t go.
Hikaru: It is good exercise~
Yabu: Speaking of that, three days ago I ate with Hikaru.
Hikaru: After six years.
Yabu: That day you went to the pool too, and I thought Dai-chan was there too so I came…
Hikaru: But I said “I am alone” (laugh)
Yabu: So the both of us went alone (laugh)
Hikaru: But we didn’t even talk about work
Yabu: We can talk about work at the workplace (laugh). We talked about what are you doing recently? And things like that.
Hikaru: Yeah. Like “I packed my room”, something like that (laugh)
Yabu: We are on good terms as always.
Hikaru: In a good meaning, nothing has changed. Ah, Keito has changed his hair colour from blonde to black. Yabu’s hair colour is nice too, ash colour.
Yabu: I dyed my hair blonde, and then added the ash. I sat for about 4 hours in the salon (laugh)
Hikaru: Speaking of that, Dai-chan lost about 4kg.
Yabu: Eh, I cant tell at all (laugh) But that’s great.
Hikaru: If you look closely his face has become sharper. If something has changed, it is probably that~
Yabu: Everyone is exercising for the concert. I want to join the pool activities soon too. Also, Yamada said he cannot swim but he might be able to if he tries
Hikaru: Yeah (laugh)
