Hey!Say!JUMP 2019-2020 Calendar 100 Q&A: Yamada Ryosuke
I already posted these on twitter, but posting them here so they are all in one place. Still haven’t proofread the document. Hopefully there aren’t too many errors.
Recent hobby? - To steep myself in games. I’ve been playing RPG games.
Top 3 favorite foods? - 1: eggplant, 2: yakiniku (grilled meat), 3: yakitori (grilled chicken). For eggplants, my no. 1 favorite is fried eggplant. I make it myself sometimes.
Top 3 favorite animals? - 1: dog, 2: sloth, 3: monkey. There are 2 dogs at my parents’ place. Sloths I’ve liked for a while. Although I’d like to keep one, it’s impossible to have a tropical animal (lol). Maybe I like these types of “relaxed” animals.
Shower guy? Bath guy? - Shower.
Source of energy? - Food!
Describe a moment when your excitement level is high? - During live concerts, the moment when I see the audience from the stage. “It’s so great that I’m working in this job” will pop into my head, it’s the happiest moment in my life.
Describe a moment when your excitement level is low? - When I’m playing games at home. I’m just quietly playing, and I don’t want anyone to see how I look at that time.
What do people say [to / about you] that will make you happy? - “Gakkoi”
Favorite color? - White. I have a lot of white t shirts.
Where do you want to go? - Salar de Uyuni (Salt Flats) in Bolivia.
Frequent dreams? - Dream of teeth being pulled out.
Best number of hours of sleep? - About 7 hours.
Dog guy? Cat guy? - Dogs.
Do you believe in ghosts? - I believe in them. But I do not like them.
Do you believe in fortune telling? - Basically no.
Do you think there are aliens? - There aren’t any, right? But I don’t think I want to meet them. Because I don’t know what they’ll do to me, it’s scary (lol).
What do you like most about your looks? - Nose. Although I used to have a complex about it, everyone kept telling me “you have a great nose”, so I started thinking “it’s a great nose!” and start liking it.
What do you like most about your qualities? - Stubbornness. I think being able to advocate for my beliefs without bending my will is quite useful in this job.
What is one thing you can change about your appearance? - My height. I want an extra 10 cm.
What’s one personality trait you’d like to fix? - My sharp tongue (lol).

The type of girl you like? - Family minded. It’ll be nice if she can cook and also likes kids.
When you are in a relationship, do you want to spoil her? Or do you want to be spoiled? - I do not want to be spoiled. If we are talking about [my girlfriend] wanting me to spoil her, I don’t like acting all lovey-dovey in front of everybody. [So I guess the implication is that he’ll spoil his girlfriend, but only in private.]
Soba guy? Udon guy? - Soba. I don’t eat a lot of udon.
Favourite drink? - Cola.

Within Johnny’s, who are you friends with outside of the members? - Ninomiya-kun and Yamashita-kun. I always go bother Ninomiya-kun at his home. As for Yamashita-kun, I have gone to Disneyland with him and another guy.
What is your dream / vision for the group’s future? - Thanks to everyone’s support up to now, Hey!Say!JUMP is able to continue on as a group. After this, I want to see each member holding their own solo concert.
What’s your personal dream / vision? - I want to always work steadily as an actor.
What motto do you live by? - “Even if there is just 1% chance, I will never give up.”
What is your schedule like for when you have a day off? - Basically I stay at home, then when night falls, I tend to go out to eat. At home, I’ll play games then sleep (lol).
When you don’t feel like you’re in good spirits, what do you do to encourage yourself? - Take a stroll.

With which member will you go to the public bath house together? - Yuya and Inoo-chan. I had gone with other members before, but I have never gone with those two. It should be pretty leisurely to spend time with them.

With which member will you go to hanami (flower viewing)? - I am allergic to pollen and there are lots of bugs, so I don’t go to hanami.

With which member do you want to spend Halloween? - Dai-chan. He’ll entertain me.
With which member do you want to go to have nabe (hot pot cuisine)? - Since we’ll eat delicious rice, Inoo-chan. He’ll probably say “yummy, yummy” when he eat, you know.

When you wake up, what’s the first thing you do? - First I turn on the vacuum, then I go brush my teeth. [Does he have a robot vacuum?]

If you have a chance for a redo in life, what age will you go back to? - 10 years old. The year I joined Johnny’s & Associates. That said, I don’t want a redo.

What are you addicted to? - Cleaning. Although I love cleanliness, when people come over for dinner and spilled stuff, I also don’t care. That’s because I love to put away the mess.

What’s your go to song at karaoke? - JUJU-san’s “Kiseki wo Nozomu Nara…” (If you want a miracle…”

What is your role in the group? - No matter when, I am usually the first one to speak. Since the members also wait for me to speak, and the staff-san will ask me questions first, I ended up with this role.
What advice will you give to yourself at debut? - “Your face is going to change, you know! It’ll become a little thinner.”
What is the most memorable thing during the “Heisei” era? - Being part of a group called Hey!Say!JUMP.

Tell me Chinen’s weakness! - Knit.
Tell me Nakajima’s weakness! - Dirty things. (Literal meaning.)
Tell me Arioka’s weakness! - Belly button. He hates it when people touch it.
Tell me Takaki’s weakness! - He can’t handle high calorie foods.
Tell me Inoo’s weakness! - Exercise.
Tell me Yaotome’s weakness! - He can’t remember anything.
Tell me Yabu’s weakness! - Tomato.
Tell me Chinen’s allure! - There are so many. He’s a genius. He face the world as a guy who can do do anything and has a very good understanding of himself, which is very good.
Tell me Nakajima’s allure! - He can do anything. He is high-spec (top notch), but he is also hardworking.
Tell me Arioka’s allure! - He’s a positive, bright person. You’ll feel happy just being together with him.
Tell me Takaki’s allure! - Very gentle. Comparing to before, he has a great love for JUMP, he kept talking about “JUMP, JUMP” wherever he goes.
Tell me Inoo’s allure! - Talk power. He honed those skills through “Mezamashi TV”. It feels very comforting to go on location shoots with him in the variety programs.
Tell me Yaotome’s allure! - His “ojisan-like” personality. He can take a nap wherever he goes. There are moments when that side of him will shine spectacularly as an item (special feature?) of JUMP, so in that sense, he is very reliable.
Tell me Yabu’s allure! - Although he is the oldest, he doesn’t act like “I need to get a hold of myself” a lot. Because of that, the people who are younger than him can feel at ease. Because we have Yabu-chan, we are able to things confidently, he is truly a reliable bigger brother.
Send a message to Okamoto Keito! - Keito, when are you coming back? How is winter in New York? It’s probably very cold, right? I want to tell you about the live tour, and I also want to hear about your New York life!

JOSEI JISHIN TRANSLATIONS FOR MY FIRST ANNIVERSARY WITH JUMP 💕
Disclaimer: Not a native speaker so this might not be 100% accurate. Yabu Kota’s part must be “limited amount of time”. Thank you guys and Happy Valentine’s 💕
Hey!Say!JUMP to “JUMP” beyond Heisei, leaping further [then before] (Shukan Asahi)
2019.01.18
(Rough translation - also not complete. Will add the individual interviews later.)
For those in the group that carries the Heisei name, how do they feel about greeting the new era in May? And how did they grow and change in the 11 years since their debut?
Yabu: This is the first time the era changed since our birth, and you know, I am a bit emotional about it.
Inoo: When we debuted, we didn’t think about when the era will end, just couldn’t imagine it. Doesn’t our group name make people think of the Heisei era?
Chinen: In order for the kids born in the new era not to think of us as an old group, we will just have to make sure we are always active in the forefront.
Nakajima: Since all the members were born in the Heisei era, we were given such a group name. At the time, the adults told us “The uncles (ojisan dachi) are the ‘SHOWA STEP!’” (lol).
Yabu: Those of us who were born is the Heisei era are supported by the adults who were born in the Showa era, so now, we of the Heisei era will have you support those who will be born in the new era.
Arioka: But we are not “Heisei”, we are “Hey! say!”, isn’t it?
Yamada: Then again, in the beginning when Johnny-san told us our group name, he wrote “Heisei JUMP” on the white board, no? At that time, I was honestly thinking “Seriously? You’re adding the era to the name?” (lol) When it went from that to the English phonetic version we use now, I thought thank God (lol).
Yaotome: Since we were named as the special super of the “World Cup Volleyball 2007”, they also added “JUMP” [to our name]. It made our group name high impact and interesting, didn’t it?
Takaki: However, I do appreciate how people think of us when they think about Heisei ending. People who has no interest in us normally are wondering and asking “What’s going to happen to Hey!Say!JUMP?”
Arioka: It was certainly good to have a little chance for that. For the last night of Heisei, we need to see through it together as members, don’t we?
Yaotome: As the new age is upon us, we, who hold the name of “Heisei”, will work hard in 2019 so that we can take a great leap and jump beyond Heisei.

Yaotome Hikaru
A recent thing that made him happy:
I was able to participate in activities such as the 4-Dome tour and Kohaku from the end of year to the beginning of year as part of JUMP.
Changes in the last 11 years:
The experience of “SUMMARY” “Johnny’s World” was great. In 2018, I also returned to the stage for the first time in 4 years, I reaffirmed that the acting in a stage play is interesting.
Changes and growth in Yaotome-kun:
He is the strength and heart in variety programs. He has the creativity to say things I cannot think of. He has the power to create new things. (Chinen)
In the weekly live broadcasts, even though he is not [expected to] say anything, like aun’s breath*, he is more and more capable of delivering the perfect comments you can’t get enough of. (Arioka)
* Used to describe the harmonizing of two persons in an activity.
He has no sense of direction. For the first 2 years of us being regulars on our weekly radio program, he would walk in the opposite direction to the studio where we record our program every week. (Inoo)
Yabu Kota
A recent thing that made him happy:
My brother’s two kids watched a video that has JUMP’s song playing*. They also remembered the lyrics, it was so cute. I always find it very healing to watch them do that.
* If it’s a JUMP PV, he would just call it a PV, right?
Changes in the last 11 years:
I look different but I don’t know how I have changed.
Changes and growth in Yabu-kun:
He is like a big brother to me. (Chinen)
He is like a great older brother who has not changed. No matter who is going through a tough time, he is always there to lend a voice of support. He has saved many members, me being one of them. (Nakajima)
We auditioned on the same day and were accepted in the same group, I feel a constant connection [with him]. (Inoo)
I have learned a lot of things, most of them are from Yabu. I am really thankful for him and no one can top that. I think the two of us must work together to lead JUMP. (Yaotome)
Takaki Yuya
A recent thing that made him happy:
I went to the “Tokyo German Village” for a TV program and made the world’s largest dog house. Assisted by the craftsmen, we built an elegant one that looked like a detached house. I am glad it can be left there for a while.
Changes in the last 11 years:
I used to think that those around me had nothing to do with me, but now I can take my time to look around. When there is someone out there working hard, it becomes a stimulus to me.
Changes and growth in Takaki-kun:
His love for the group is increasing day by day. (Ariokai)
He is carefully checking his dance moves, very strict. I felt a change in his mindset in the last 1, 2 years. (Chinen)
He used to be a lone wolf in the old days, but now his member love is great. He is someone who loves JUMP. He also liven up the company on stage. (Yaotome)
Recently, he took to the stage for the first time, and I think he found his weapon. (Nakajima)
Inoo Kei
A recent thing that made him happy:
I was able to meet with a staff I had not seen for a while. We went for yakiniku and chatted, which we haven’t done in a long time.
Changes in the last 11 years:
While I have done a variety of things that allowed me to grow, I want to be thankful for and not arrogant about my current position. I get along with the members, in particular, I become quite close with Takaki. When we debuted, we didn’t have much to say to each other, but now, we will go eat and drink together.
Changes and growth in Inoo-kun:
He is serious when the situation requires it and he can also say strange things. That is charming. (Chinen)
Although he seems strange at first glance, I think he shows you his true self more and more over time. (Takaki)
We do a radio program together every week and I leave all the time management to Inoo-chan. Thanks to that, I can do whatever I want. (Yaotome)
Nakajima Yuto
A recent thing that made him happy:
It’s been a long time since I was able to sleep until about 10 am. [When I was shooting the drama and had to learn] a lot of lines, although [the staff] said “I will prepare the cue cards”, it stirred up my competitiveness, so I worked super hard to memorize the lines such that I would not make mistakes even without the cue cards. I felt a huge sense of accomplishment.
Changes in the last 11 years:
I can control my emotions.
Changes and growth in Nakajima-kun:
He is very handsome and looks especially cool in a suit. Basically, he can do anything. I’m jealous. (Yamada)
He has the composure of an adult. (Chinen)
Whether it is group or solo work, he is able to balance them well. When I see him happy in the group, I am relieved. (Yabu)
I have known him since he joined the agency and he has grown a lot. At first I thought he was cute but I have come to respect him now. (Yaotome)
Arioka Daiki
A recent thing that made him happy:
I fixed the height of my table by myself and it felt great. I would like to challenge more DIY projects like this.
Changes in the last 11 years:
When I messed up on the TV program, my fans still liked it, so it became my source of confidence. If it is even OK for me to show my uncool appearance, [the job] becomes easy.
Changes and growth in Arioka-kun:
He has a reliable appearance. (Chinen)
During the time when the group did not have regular [jobs], Arioka had the opportunity to work in an important TV program, and he brought whatever he learned there back [to the group]. (Takaki)
He is always training himself on things like how to be tsukkomi if someone is boke. He can take whatever happened on the spot and feed off it. (Nakajima)
He is blossoming in “Hirunandes!” Although he is a very interesting guy, he was not able to convey that in the past. I am happy he can show his interesting side. (Yaotome)
Yamada Ryosuke
A recent thing that made him happy: For Chinen’s birthday, the two of us went to eat at a somewhat expensive restaurant we liked. That restaurant will reliably bring out a last course that is deathly delicious! I thought “I’m happy, I can do my best at work!” Changes in the last 11 years: My sense of taste. I didn’t use to like gooey stuff like yam and okra but now I like them. However, I’m still not ok with natto. Changes and growth in Yamada-kun: He’s someone who leads the group, a guy you can trust to unify the group. I think I have to work hard so that Yamada is not overextending himself. (Chinen) He always has a strong desire to give back to the group, this has never changed. (Yabu) He had taken on the huge responsibility of being the center since he was young. Yet recently in variety programs, he is one of the ones we pick on. He is the trailblazer for a new type of center that is different from the so-called traditional centers. (Yaotome)
Chinen Yuri
A recent thing that made him happy:
I celebrated my birthday with a lot of people. I think I’m only able to be myself today because of what I received from everybody.
Changes in the last 11 years:
When I debuted I was mysteriously full of unfounded confidence, I thought I could do anything. Now I have a good understanding of my strengths and position, I can see what I need to do.
Changes and growth in Chinen-kun:
He is pretty calculated in a good way. Although he doesn’t tell me much about it, he has a plan for his life, like he knows what he wants to accomplish by what age. (Yamada)
He is the youngest and when he first debuted, he was not able to communicate with the adults. Now he is a presenter at the “World Gymnastic Meet” and is very active in his solo work. (Yabu)
Underneath the genius, he is a hard worker. While he is the quickest to remember the choreography, he also practices a lot. He is the strongest. (Yaotome)
Think Note Vol. #63: GOOD DAY
Myojo 06.2018
(Translated from scans by MoMozzz32 on weibo. The photos are also from her account. Please let me know if there are any errors.)
From “Onichan*” to you, who I haven’t seen yet. I want to meet you soon.
Busily going about every day, meeting the people you want to meet, or watching the movies you want to watch. If I can look back at the day and say “Today was a fun day!”, I feel that tomorrow will also be a GOOD DAY.
* Older brother
