Welcome to only-Kentaro, a fansite dedicated to the special Johnny's Jr., Yasui Kentaro. He has joined the company in 2007 and has began to tremendously capture attentions from fans. He's appeared in dramas such as Shark season 2 and 49. He can also be seen on Jrs variety show "Gamushara". I hope this site will allow you to learn more about him
Relay project 1
I depend on “this part” about the member
t/n: only translated Yasui's parts (as always)
Aran → Yasui
I depend on Kenchan on this part
Overall, there are several dependable parts about him. A few days ago too, when Kenchan was absent from the rehearsal, it fell on us to practice without him, but we were all asking “what should we do?” since Kenchan isn’t here “who will decide?”. Hagichan and I did our best in that part. At that time, I realized again that there’s definitely a lot of things I depend on Kenchan for. I guess I need to become a little more independent.
Yasui → Hagiya
I depend on Hagichan on this part
When I could barely show up at rehearsal, he took initiative and took care of Love-tune. Even the parts that I wasn’t sure of and the parts that I haven’t touched on, he put it all together for us. That’s why, now, I depend on him a lot!
Relay project 2
We will let you know a little cool thing of the member
Yasui → Aran
Cool thing about Aran
I think how competitive he is, is seriously cool. Also, if it’s something I don’t say often, it’s his kindness. He seems to be on his own pace, but in reality, he is matching pace with others. On top of that, we can’t tell when he does that for us. He’s actually being considerate of us, and he does it unnoticeably so we won’t feel bad. I’d say he looks to his surroundings well. I think that part of him is cool.
Hagiya → Yasui
Cool thing about Yassu
He’s very difficult, did you know? It’s because he always has a role similar to taking charge. He settles anything for us. If I say things like this, he may say “Take part in it, guys” (laugh), but… I believe he is very mature as he properly takes initiative, manages situations well, and leads all of us
Let’s solve the common worries for women!
Jrs who have higher femininity than women gave advices concerning the “common summer worries women have”
Skincare
Q. I want to know the secret to having beautiful skin
I don’t drink sweet juices much. When thirsty, I result to water or tea. Especially water, I hear that it excrete waste from the body, I definitely drink 2 liters in a day. Maybe also, don’t eat too much chocolate, or put on moisturizer too much that it becomes sticky. etc
As memories are being created… their bond is deepening more and more!!

t/n: only translated Yasui's parts (as always)
Yasui → Myuto
Calls him: Myuto
Myuto is an adult so I can be with him without keeping in mind that I have to be on my best behavior. I don't have to be careful.
Myuto → Yasui
Calls him: Yassu
Basically he’s a person who can be relied on on anything. Such as coming up with the setup of the lives, etc his strength in creative thinking is definitely great!
Yasui → Sanada
Calls him: Sanapi
I see him like a teacher because he teaches me about music and other various things. However, although he has very great knowledge, his Japanese while using that knowledge is terribly messy (lol)
Sanada → Yasui
Calls him: Yassan
It shows lack in the “idol” image to propose like “I want to do this!” … Yassan always helps me correct that part of me very well.
Yasui → Morohoshi
Calls him: Moro
He’s an existence like a boiling water. When we are together I feel relief, but occasionally it becomes sultry unpleasant (lol).
Morohoshi → Yasui
Calls him: Kenchan
We hang out together a lot ♪ after saying to each other “don’t you wanna do something fun~?” And at work, I rely on him!
Yasui → Hagiya
Calls him: Hagichan
He used to be like a little brother to me, but he began to become an adult carrying his own opinions. Since we are always together, he can easily read my mind.
Hagiya → Yasui
Calls him: Yassu
To me, he is like my senpai because he knows various things from being knowledgeable to being street smart to understanding the feeling of our fans etc!
Yasui → Aran
Calls him: Aran / Ranran
He’s very active, we even went to Hawaii together! Also he’s someone who comes to borrow my toner. Recently, he asked for it three days in a row!
Aran → Yasui
Calls him: Kenchan
Whether it’s at work or just hanging out, he leads me! A few days ago, with Kenchan driving, the two of us went for a drive with Haniuda (Amu) ♪
Yasui → Nagatsuma
Calls him: Nagatsu
Sleep companion (lol). Once when the backstage got cold due to the air conditioning working too well, we slept together cuddling in the big blanket that he brings.
Nagatsuma → Yasui
Calls him: Yasui-kun
During “DREAM BOYS” we slept together with my blanket♡ When Morosshi (Morohoshi) joined in, Yasui-kun kicked him out.
I don't have a pet, in fact, I never had one. I am allergic to dogs, so including dogs, I have lived a long time being careful not to touch animals much. lol
2. Dog person or a cat person?
Since I'm allergic to dogs, I'm going to have to say cat person here (wry smile)
3. I think if I owned THIS pet it would be fun
I probably won't own any (lol). With me being allergic to dogs, I'm not good with pet hair either. If I ha~ave to own one, maybe a reptile. But they feed on bugs right? There's no way~ (lol).
I still can't forget the crazy times in Hawaii. (laugh). He can't be seen as being in his 20s. Even when we are talking, I don't feel like he's older than me. But within the juniors, he's the most reliable.
Yasui Kentaro → Jesse
When he decide that this is it, he's a person to take it to challenge. On battle recordings, he's the one to make the best results on the final recording. He has a celebrity feel. But he also has a cute side like when we went to Hawaii with the other jrs., he was running around acting his age!
Yasui Kentaro → Jinguji Yuta
He is extremely loveable that our seniors soon loves him! Also, from last year's performance, I felt that he has the power to change the mood of the environment in a good direction. But he is bad at using up too much of his energy that he frequently sleeps to recharge himself (laughs).
Jinguji Yuta → Yasui Kentaro
We usually talk about various things, but to describe him, he is a nice older brother who playfully teases me. Just by being with him, he gives me motivation. From now onwards, please keep teasing me (laughs).
Check out the 3 people's correlation!
t/n: only translated Yasui's parts (as always)
Yasui → Hagiya
Calls him: Hagi-chan
First meeting: He entered right after I entered. I entered in the fall and I believe he entered in winter. He was wearing like an orange gown and his cheeks were red. I think he said he was in 5th grade, he was so cute. I recall teaching him dance moves at Tokyo Dome.
Short Memory Story: When we both participated in the play “Oceans 11”, we were taught how to do make-up for the play, but both of us didn’t have an eye-liner. Therefore, we hurried and went to buy it. While fidgeting around we asked “Please give us an eye-liner” (laugh)
Yasui → Myuto
Calls him: Myuto
First meeting: The first recording of “The Shounen Club” I participated in, since I didn’t get in through audition, everyone came to ask me “How did you enter?”. Amongst them, one was a small, 6th grader named Myuto who came and asked me “Yo, is your dad famous?” (laugh)
Short Memory Story: It was a while back when Myuto was a back dancer for Butoukan, Kyomoto and I were discussing how cool the choreography was. Then while we were playing with Sakkun (Sakuma Daisuke), we asked Myuto to teach us the dance. I recall romping about at night. (laugh)
Myuto → Yasui
Calls him: Yasunosuke, Yassu
First meeting: I thought he was the son of a famous person. That time was right before the audition, where people auditioning were dancing as instructed and I asked what everyone wondered, “How come you’re not there?” My first impression on Yassu was very straightforward.
Short Memory Story: Recently, we went to the temple together. Drive date (laugh). I was taken on a ride by driver Yassu. We prayed concerning our work, we read our fortunes, etc. We pulled a “great luck”. We talked about our good omen, and bought a good luck charm. It was a good date!
Hagiya → Yasui
Calls him: Yassu
First meeting: My first work was JUMP’s debut concert in Tokyo Dome and due to several people being there, I couldn’t follow the dance at all. Then, Yassu approached me and asked “Do you get it? Shall I teach you?” and he taught me very nicely.
Short Memory Story: Ever since the premiere of Johnny’s ginza (CREA), and even “Johnny’s World” we were together. I feel like I’ve worked with Yassu all the time. In my Johnny’s life, he’s the biggest existence! Saying that I was raised by him wouldn’t be an exaggeration!
Yasui → Hagiya
Cute little brother
Although there’s a feeling of being the same class, since by year I’m older, he’s my little brother. Lately he’s grown to be a reliable person. Such as during CREA, he gave good opinions, I feel his growth.
Hagiya → Yasui
A helpful person
Ever since entering the company, Yassu has always taken care of me. He helps me even off stage, and when I have trouble on stage, he reaches his hand out to aid me.
Yasui → Myuto
A reliable person
We talk about our private life, but he’s a companion I can talk to about work as well. Since we are in different teams of “Gamushara!~”, we check up on each other’s situations and such. We can talk about anything no matter the topic is.
Myuto → Yasui
Extreme enthusiast
When I’m with him, it makes me want to work harder concerning my job. No matter what job it is, he’s always on top of it so it makes me heated to stay on top too. Since our motto is “leave a trace”!
Recent Memo
Yasui Kentaro:
With the filming for the movie ending smoothly, I went out to eat with my friends. As we celebrated one person’s birthday with a cake, another cake came and I wondered who’s it was and it was mine!
Morita Myuto:
Yassu, Sanapi (Sanada Yuma), Hagichan and I, the four of us went to eat out! We talked about work for 4 hours. We also talked about funny things and it was fun. I would like to go again, but next time I want to go somewhere far~.
Hello everyone, it’s already been one year since I opened this account and although I haven’t done much translations these days, thank you for continuing to giving me your support! When I opened this account, I had only one intention: to help world-wide fans learn about Yasui more. Although I wish I could translate more for you, I started getting busier and busier as days and weeks passed. But I will promise that if the days I am free, I come across something interesting to share with you, I will translate it quickly. PS. I also am open to requests of any translations related to Yasui. Just hit me a message here and I will get to it as soon as I can. I wanted to do more for celebrating the first year, thanking all my followers, but I’m sorry it’s just a simple message from me to you. Thank you all again for giving me your support :)
If I were in soccer club, I probably wouldn’t be in Johnny’s!?
During middle school, I was thinking of either being a part of the soccer club or basketball club. But I was told “there’s a sport called handball that’s somewhat a mixture of soccer and basketball” and I thought that could be fun and joined it. But it was different from what I had thought, so I quit within 2 months. Then while I was thinking what I should do, I was asked to join the basketball club. Right after that, I was invited to join the soccer club too, but I decided to join the basketball club who had invited me first. If at that time I had joined soccer club instead, I am very certain that I would not have been in Johnny’s! That’s because, on that day of our unexpected break from practice, I was able to go see Takizawa-kun’s stage. That’s when I was suddenly approached by Johnny-san. So even if I were to return to that time now, I will definitely tell myself to join the basketball club!
Although it's been a while since we ate together, I am sorry for having turned down the offer to eat out with you and then not even calling you back that I'm free!
What's on my mind right now is probably blank. I’m relieved that “Gamushara Sexy Natsu Matsuri!!” in which I was in charge of the MC ended safely. In order to fill up this empty feeling, should I go somewhere far~? A resort spot maybe? I absolutely want to listen to the waves and do nothing. The beach in the west coast would be nice too. If Hawaii, I would like to go to the rural area. Well, talking about my desire to go traveling like this on a magazine means I haven’t planned anything yet (bitter smile). I’ll just go to a nearby beach with (Kikuchi) Fuma who finished filming “GTO”. He said he’ll introduce me to his friends who he got along with during the drama, so I’m looking forward to it.
I want to watch a movie. When I go to TV asahi, there’s several posters of “STAND BY ME Doraemon” hung up that it interests me a lot. The one animation movie I cry the most until now is “Doraemon”. Like the short film “Obaachan no Omoide”, remembering the title just now has my eyes watery~ (cries).
This summer, I was allowed to experience various job sites and it sparked to me that I should thank all the people who always support me and my friends for being with me. It’s true that life isn’t only full of enjoyment and there are times when we want to spit out complaints. At those times, I am thankful for those who will silently listen to my complaints. This is a while back, but I was really happy to receive several messages on my Birthday. Speaking of which, the one who congratulated me right as it hit my birthday was Fuma ♥
Hey! I'm also a Yasui's fan, and I want to thank you for this translations! I enjoyed them a lot~ I also want you to know that there is a yasuikentaro community on livejournal, so feel free to join and share your translations! If you don't have lj and don't want to join this community (which is quite possible, after all), can I just post on it some links to your translations? Otsukare Samantha~ :D
Hello, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the translations ^^I do have a livejournal and I believe I did join the community some time ago, however I don’t use lj that much anymore, so you’re more than welcome to share the link to the translations. Just don’t copy and paste. Thank you~
A woman who's a very good friend of the family invited me to "Takizawa Kakumei" so I went to see it. There, I was greeted by the choreographer as well as the manager and that was my start. (At that time), because I was already in my first year of high school (t/n: sophomore year in America) and I had not even auditioned, when I went to the rehearsal venue all the little Jrs surrounded me asking “Why are you here?” The most impertinent one was, Myuto! He suddenly asked me “Who are you?” (t/n: in a cocky way). In spite that he was super small (lol)!!
Who inspired you to want to apply?
When I applied, I didn’t know Johnny’s at all! Right now, I admire Nishikiori Kazukiyo-san! He can do anything and even though he’s much a veteran, he still has that stoic character which is cool.
Why do you believe you were able to become a Jr.? (Describe your reason)
Luck! Even “Takizawa Kakumei”, I went only because the basketball club happened to be on break. If the timing slipped even a little, I wouldn’t be here.
Where would you say you've grown in since you started working in the show business?
I got used to the camera! Also, I’ve become mentally mature.
What's the one work you've done until now that you keep in your memory?
All our stage plays left a great impression too, but… probably Yamashita (Tomohisa)-kun’s solo tour in 2011. It was the first time being the main back dancer and I was in such pressure, but up until now, it’s the one I practiced for the most
Idols are ___. (think of a word to fill the blank)
Present from the fans! I believe that the line drawing us to the fans must always be stable. The reason we are offered various works are all because of everyone giving us support.
If asked if I’m sentimental, then yes I am, but crying in front of people is embarrassing so I endure it. Even in a moving situation, if there are people around, then I have a habit of fighting back my tears. In middle school, if a person cries easily they are thought of as a lame person, right. But lately, I’m starting to think that crying without holding back is important. Because I feel that those people who express their thankfulness like that will be well-off. When I strongly felt that was at the previous scene of SHARK 2. On the scene I had to cry, the director had said “If you put your feelings in it, it’s alright not to cry”. It was a scene that Kouta (Yasui) may not be with us anymore, but when I thought what if it was Yassu who is leaving us… then my tears suddenly rushed down. Even I was surprised.
Yes, yes, in order to see the ocean sunfish I went to dive in Nishiizu. I dived 30m and waited 15 minutes, but it didn’t come. Next time I definitely want to see it!
I, regularly have times when I want to cry. Somehow, when I cry, my feeling is able to reset and all the stress and unpleasant parts can be purified, or easily put: I can be at ease. That’s why when I think “I haven’t cried~”, I want to cry. At those times, I would search for something moving on the TV guide… The recent thing I cried over was when I watched a show about a surprise return of a father who had went to war. Ah, I cried so much from being moved. Within the Juniors, the most sentimental are probably, (Morita) Myuto and Masuda Ryo. In last year’s Kurie, Masuda, after I said “thank you” since he came to see my performance in Kurie, he replied “It was great~!” and started crying so much. I was happy, but I don’t know why he cried that much (lol). Oh, speaking of which, I remember (Morimoto) Shintaro used to cry a lot when he was little.
Recently, it was the director’s birthday, so with the Cloud5 members we gave him green shoes and he was really grateful, that made me happy!
This time I had been taught several things in the drama, that in this production, I was able to think that acting in a drama is really fun. If an opportunity arises again, I'm thinking that I would like to act as a horrible guy or such again.
I would love to be married~. It's my ideal to be a daddy by 30.
It'd be nice to have a daughter first!!
In the drama "49", they recorded a scene where a mother appeared bringing her baby, and that baby was extremely cute!
I was happy that when I held her she didn't cry at all, so just like that when I almost went in the car with her there was a big commotion of people saying "the baby doesn't go there"
I almost inadvertently took her home with me (lol).
