Yabu Kota
I went to eat with Chinen right at the beginning of the year. It wasn’t just the two of us, but there were also three other of my hometown friends. One of them was good friends with Chinen since high school times and the other two do meet him from time to time so everyone said “Chinen is just like from our hometown too” (laugh). We met in the evening, ate chicken dishes while saying “Lets play darts too?” so after that we went to play darts and table tennis. But all of us don’t normally play darts so we were so bad at it. “01” means that the person who manages to reduces his points to 0 wins the game but all of us didn’t manage to get any point reduction at all. But well, while we complain of it never being able to end, it was also fun. With table tennis, it feels like you are competing for your hometown, like “representing our elementary school in a competition”. Chinen asked me “you, what elementary school are you representing?” and I said “I am from xxx elementary school”, I gave him a name of a school in Shizuoka (laugh)
At work, the first person I normally meet among the members is usually Dai-chan. So I guess the time we spend together is quite long too. We start our work with conversations like “did you watch that show yesterday?” or “what did you do on your off day?” “well you definitely went to eat with Chinen right?” “Your clothes today are new right? looks good” (laugh). Dai-chan is the one who gets new information earlier than the other members. Dai-chan wore new sneakers to work today too. (Arioka was nearby and said “Eh? This isn’t new (laugh)” and corrected him) Ahaha, maybe I was just half awake?! (laugh)
I cleaned up my bathroom! Before doing so, I was wondering how to clean the crust in the bathroom and I checked it up on the internet. You can mix baking soda and citric acid, and soak them in gauze and paper towels, stick them to the scales. After putting them there for two hours, rinse them off with the shower. And true enough, it became very clean and I did not even have to scrub it♪ Thanks to that, I can now have a nice bath in my shining bathtub!

I went to eat with Jesse, just the two of us. I watch the stageplay “Shounentachi” every year. And last year when I went, Jesse said “Let’s all go and eat bbq meat now!” so I said okay and went with SixTONES and Snow Man. Then I jokingly said “Kochi knows my contact so if you want to know ask him” and after that, all of them contacted me. Jesse gave me really frequent mails (laugh). He kept saying “I want to eat with you alone!” so we met. He asked me a huge amount of questions about work. I thought he was a cool character but he likes to fool around too. But he has serious thoughts when it comes to work and he seems more mature than his age… that’s quite interesting. Listening to Jesse talk about his family was really fun.
I had a music gathering with Kyuujitsu Kachou (from Gesu no Kiwami Otome) and a professional saxophone player, and our theme was “lets show each other our favourite music videos while eating” (laugh). Kyuujitsu Kachou showed a video of a bassist and vocalist band, the other guy showed a homage video of a legendary episode of the music world, and I introduced a MV of a rapper. It was a really fun time. Of course, I learnt a lot. The place was at a Japanese restaurant which was introduced by Kyuujitsu Kachou. I thought it was the first time I had been there but the staff suddenly came to greet me and said “I was grateful during that time on Hirunandesu!” So it was a restaurant which I came to during one of my location shoots (laugh)
Recently I bought three bass effectors and when I am alone at home, I kept playing with them. When I play different songs and different kinds of music come out, I forget about time passing. When I don’t touch my musical instruments, I probably just stare around in my room (laugh). I have drawing tools… and when I open my colour pencil box I stare at them and think “so beautiful”. I also play with my toy camera, and I feel satisfied just by being in my room.
