☆ What kind of person is MatsuJun?
Sakurai: He’s been interesting to me lately. That is, you see…
Aiba: Ummm
Ohno: What was it again?
Ninomiya: “Probably not so”
Sakurai: Yeah, that. Normally you’d say, “That’s not true.” but for some reason he deliberately says “That’s probably not the case.”
Aiba: The basic principle is to be different from other people.
Sakurai: He really attracts a lot of attention.
Ninomiya: Like how his costume was shorts (laughs).
Aiba: There are people like that in every class.
Ohno: Exactly, every time we all line up he’s always one step ahead, he’s leaning forward a bit, like this….If you were to look from above, only MatsuJun sticks out….
Ninomiya (laughs). But, to be honest, that guy is a lively person, but…
Aiba: He gets depressed more easily than most people.
Ninomiya: Yeah. He’s often disheartened. Even so, every time he introduces himself he says “I’m the youngest so I’ll do my best will all my might!” and is forcing himself to take on an impossible role (cries).
Sakurai: But that’s the path that Matsujun chose.
Ohno: Perseverance ♡

☆ What kind of girl would be right for MatsuJun?
Ohno: Of course, it has to be someone who takes a step forward!
Aiba: He might compete with someone who is similar (laughs).
Ohno: True, even when it’s just the 2 of us, it’s always a contest for who takes the lead….I think someone who doesn’t get bored easily might be good? (lol)
Ninomiya: But it might be good if it’s someone who pays attention to their environment?
Sakurai: Yeah, someone older. And charismatic. Someone that would make him say “She’s the one”.
Aiba: Ah, I feel you.
Sakurai: But that might be tough for the girl….definitely needs to be older.
Ninomiya: Since he’s the type of person to purse someone, and would probably only focus on that one person, I think it’s best if they are tuned in with what’s going on around them.

☆ If you were to compare MatsuJun to an animal, what would it be?
(All 4) A turtle!
Aiba: During his flying performance at World Cup Volleyball he kind of looked like a turtle.
Ninomiya: Yeah 🐢
Aiba: After just that one time he became a turtle (lol).

☆ What’s the unknown mystery of Nino?
Sakurai: The interesting thing about Nino is that despite having a lot of stuff he thinks about on the inside, he always says things in a roundabout way.
Ohno: I know what you mean. He often uses analogies.
Sakurai: And then he always ends up saying “What was I trying to say?”. I wonder why.
Matsumoto: Also, sometimes he uses Kansai dialect.
Ohno: Where is he from again?
Matsumoto: He’s an Edo boy [Tokyo].
Sakurai: He’s always spending time with the Kansai Jrs. and stuff. I wonder if he picked it up.
Aiba: Right, he was with (Shibuya) Subaru nonstop while filming their drama [Abunai Hokago]. It must have been from that.
Ohno: Speaking of dramas, he memorizes his lines super fast.
Sakurai: He has a great memory.
Matsumoto: Also, doesn’t he get obsessed with stuff easily? Once he gets into something, like guitar for example, he’s the type that doesn’t stop.
Sakurai: He’s really good at guitar. I don’t know about the technical side, but he’s good, don’t you think?
Aiba: So good. I’ve played a little bit casually, but I could never compare to his level.
Ohno: Also, once he starts singing he doesn’t stop (lol).
Matsumoto: Yeah, he can easily sing for an hour or more. The other day I was sharing a room with Nino and he was singing by himself the whole time, and I went to Ohno’s room and came back and he was still singing.
Sakurai: (lol) That’s so Nino~
Aiba: We went to karaoke together and I stopped about halfway through and he sang alone for the rest of it (lol).
Matsumoto: One person karaoke (lol)!

☆ What kind of girl would be right for Nino?
Sakurai: Wouldn’t it be better to find someone with similar hobbies? Even if they don’t do it with him, someone that can understand his hobbies.
Aiba: Yeah, and someone who’s caring!
Ohno: Because he loves company.
Aiba: It seems like he doesn’t like being alone.
Ohno: He’s surprisingly needy.
Matsumoto: Then maybe someone with an older sister vibe.
Ohno: No, it’s definitely someone like me. If I was a woman don’t you think I’d be suitable? I’m chill (lol).

☆ If you were to compare Nino to an animal, what would it be?
Aiba: A dog.
Ohno + Sakurai: A small dog.
Matsumoto: A shiba inu.

☆ A surprising side of Aiba-kun!
Ninomiya: Aiba-chan often says things like, “How about this?” or “Okay, then.”
Sakurai: Yeah. Like when he wants to end a comment.
Ohno: It took the world by storm.
Nino: He hates “gaps” [in conversation].
Sakurai: But he’s the one that made the “gaps” in the first place (lol).
Ohno: Lately he’s been taking care of me. Like with how much I eat, he’ll support me and say “Ok, that’s enough”. (From Aiba: Lately he’s been asking “Can I eat it?”)
Ohno: Right, things like “Chew it well” (lol).
Sakurai: (lol) The other day when MatsuJun was talking to the volleyball coach Aiba was like “You’re like friends!” and it was so funny. The timing was perfect.
Nino: Yeah he’s been doing tsukkomi [comedy] for about 5 years (lol).
Matsumoto: I was also impressed.
Sakurai: Usually he’s not the type to take the initiative and just listens, though.
Nino: In his case I feel like he wants to be the comedian no matter what.
Sakurai: The joy he felt when he made that remark, and the sudden surprise made me burst out laughing.
Ninomiya: Right, Aiba’s debut as a comedian!


☆ What kind of girl would be right for Aiba-kun?
Matsumoto: A girl that knows who she is. As for Aiba-kun, I don’t think he’d like someone wishy-washy. I’m the same, but I think someone who has a strong sense of self would be good.
Ohno: A girl similar to Aiba-chan would be good, right? Not a noisy girl, but a gentle one…
Sakurai: Right, if she’s too strong-willed he’d probably be like “I’m bothered but I can’t say anything”.
Matsumoto: Aiba-kun usually doesn’t say anything and let’s all the stress build up.
Sakurai: He talks, but he doesn’t complain.
Ninomiya: Yes. So it’s good to have a laid-back girl in a warm and relaxed mood, so that when you watch it, you feel like you’re going to fall asleep. If she’s too selfish, I’m sure he’d get mad (laughs).
Sakurai: What? Really?
Ninomiya: …. (lol).

☆ If you were to compare Aiba-kun to an animal, what would it be?
Sakurai + Ohno: Koala!
Ninomiya: He definitely has that vibe.
Sakurai: He’s easygoing, but not a sloth.
Matsumoto: But he’s super edgy (lol).
Sakurai: In that case, let’s go with a sloth-koala.

☆ In what ways is Sho-kun amazing?
Aiba: Sho-kun has a quick mind. When he talks, he seems intelligent.
Matsumoto: Totally.
Ninomiya: Ah, that’s true. The words he uses and the way he says things are different from mine.
Aiba: Also, he has good intuition. He’s sharp. Whatever he does is picture-perfect.
Ninomiya: Yeah. Even in dramas, you normally can’t get a role like that from the start.
Aiba: Sho-kun is the leader behind the scenes (lol). In other words, he brings us all together.
Matsumoto: …but sometimes Sho talks about himself a lot. Like “Ah~ I’m no good”. Like when a joke doesn’t land.
Ohno: ….he makes a lot of jokes.
Ninomiya: Yeah, when we’re all talking he’s usually the one that takes the lead. And Ohno-kun just keeps making jokes (lol).
Matsumoto: Totally (lol).
Ohno: You don’t need to mention me!

☆ What kind of girl would be right for Sho-kun?
Matsumoto: Sho-kun and I don’t talk about girls. I wonder what he’s been up to lately. We used to go to karaoke or eat out together, but recently we haven’t. Let’s hang out sometimes~
3 people: 😆
Ninomiya: Girls, huh?
Aiba: Girls…Hmm, I guess someone with a quick mind that can keep up with what Sho-kun is saying, right?
Matsumoto: Ah, that’s right. Sho-kun always uses slightly difficult words even when he thinks he’s speaking normally.
Ohno: No, more importantly, someone who appreciates his jokes!
Matsumoto: When we’re riding in the car, him and Ohno-kun make up skits the whole time.
Ohno: I’m normal, but Sho-kun is a gag man.
Matsumoto: No, Ohno-kun’s “normal” isn’t normal.
Ninomiya: Yeah, you’re naturally funny.
Ohno: Like I said, stop talking about me! (lol) Anyway, I think a girl with a similar sense of humor would be good for him.

☆ If you were to compare Sho-kun to an animal, what would it be?
(All 4) A squirrel!
Aiba: It’s not about personality or anything, it’s just that he looks like a squirrel.
Matsumoto: His teeth are so cute when he smiles. It makes me think “Nibble me with those teeth ♡” (lol)

Note: An better scan of this eludes me. I’ll keep searching! 😿
