Yamada: The first time I met Yuto-kun was when I was on a TV show's open audition. When the audition was over, and when Yuto-kun came out of the show, he asked me, "Let's go back together.". Yuto-kun carried a huge bag then.
Yuto: Yes I did yes I did (laughs)! It was nostalgic. Because our houses were in the same direction, so from that day onwards, whever we go home from work, it's always together, and we talked a lot. After joining the company for a year, Yama-chan said that he wanted to quit as a Junior, do you still remember?
Yamada: Ah~, that time Ryuutaro, who joined in the same period as me, Hasshi (hashimoto ryosuke), and Yuto-kun were in a group. I was the only one without a group and I was feeling really upset over it, and I was thinking maybe I should just quit.
Yuto: I was thinking 'that's just weird! your dance's really good, so why must you quit!?' and I stopped there. But seriously, I noticed the sad part. Yama-chan's really easy to get along with, and we danced beside one another, but it was only me who got chosen... yeah. And when I listened to Yama-chan's opinions, I got dark as well.
Yamada: That's true. Because I was still a child, so I didn't really think about how the other person would think about it. Just then, when I was really sad, I went to Hawaii with Yuto-kun!
Yuto: During the job, there were some Juniors who came in too. At first Yama-chan wasn't included into the members, but I said 'let's go together~".
Yamada: Thanks~. But because during that time I still didn't have a passport, so the whole trip was delayed for a week (laughs). Even in Hawaii, we were together always. We were even in the same hotel room.
Yuto: We were really on good terms. Till now, the fight that we had experienced together was only once.
Yamada: And that was around when JUMP was formed, we were really close. Even though that was a win fight (like, either one has to win), the reason was really lame. During that time, Yuto-kun had this habit of attacking the person that said a certain part of his body hurt.
Yuto: but Yama-chan WON'T EVER get angry.
Yamada: then, that day Yuto-kun said that a part of his body was hurting, so I thought 'I'll repay what he did earlier on♪', and he hit me with that part....
Yuto: and I shouted angrily
Yamada: Also, because Yuto-kun was a senior, so there was a big wall between us. so, my heart was thumping so hard that it cracked internally (laughs).
Yuto: When both of our pictures are taken, there was a big feeling of relief. That was our first shoot together, and if you were talking about statuses, it's senior and junior's fight. During the volleyball thing, there was a time when we had to have our faces together, so we probably felt pressure on each other.
Yamada: Even though there's no longer the senior and junior wall, but the respect still hasn't changed. For me, Yuto-kun will always be "Yuto-kun" (-kun is a prefix normally for girls to call guys with due respect. but in their case, it's just respect since young.) to me. Even in school, friends asked "Even though you guys are the same age, so why don't you just call him "Yuto"?" in a curious voice.
Yuto: True enough, people from the same age will think it's weird.
Yamada: In my case, calling "Yuto-kun" is just the same as brushing my teeth. It's a must do!
Yuto: For me, when I hear Yama-chan calling me that I feel happy. There's a feeling of being depended. Yama-chan is in lots of dramas, and also dancing in the center of JUMP, when I see him like this, I'll think 'he really did his best~'. Yama-chan's really a diligent person, I know it better than anyone. So for Yama-chan to be how he is now, is totally acceptable. For example, to see how much effort he put in his dance, you can see it through his Junior times. Even though I was the one holding onto the mic singing, the Junior that shone the brightest at the back was always Yama-chan.
Yamada: ...Somehow, I'm really embarassed. But also, I'm really happy.
Yuto: It's first time doing something like this together. Somehow, it feels weird.
Yamada: Yeah, it feels super weird. But when Yuto-kun plays the drum, he's really cool. During the spring concert, Dai-chan saw Yuto-kun's drum playing, and he said "if we don't do something like him it's ba~d" and I felt a sense of danger. I only said it now (shy).
Yuto: Eh~, it's my first time knowing something like this.
Yamada: That's why, do take the JUMP band seriously. Even though our success rate is high, but because we're still growing, so it can be JUMP's biggest weapon. Seriously, to have the best time with our fans.
Yuto: Someday I want my drum to go with Yama-chan's dance. Even though it's something I'm saying myself, our chemistry goes really well together.
Yamada: That's because we've known each other for a long time~. Something that we've done together, only us, wouldd be from dancing beside each other in 'Seishun Amigo' (for those who doesn't know... which is impossible, it's the theme song for 'Nobuta wo Produce', sung by YamaPi. And Kame.)
Yuto: From there we evolved together, and we'll show everyone the best combi ever!
Lulz srzly, I made a stupid mistake earlier on. Because 'Tsukiai' = known each other for some time, and I mixed it up with 'lovers' XD no, not that I'm blind and I can't see the difference between 'tsukiai' and 'koibito', but because I've been watching too many shoujo animes -w-. "Tsukiatte kudasai! (Please go out with me!)" ... see how I mistake them!? XD
