Yuhi: Drink coffee, play Jenga and cards, relax... The complete home date package! Even though it was just a shoot, I enjoyed it to the fullest. It was my first time filming in such an environment, it was new and fun. Although it's a little complicated. (laughs) I kept thinking, «If I do this, will it look like it was on a date?» And guess what? I'm a novice at Jenga. I'm so clumsy with my hands that I constantly ruin everything. I was afraid to destroy everything before we took good photos. (laughs) Miraculously, I was able to pull out four things.
I was able and happy! The emotions after the last one are natural, I hope you enjoy it. (laughs)
I've always loved coffee and worked part-time at AMAZING COFFEE, so I'm a great coffee maker. Today [on set] a couple of mugs — red and blue — are cute, like for a couple. Like on a real date.
Yuhi: If on a date at home a girl wanted to cook something for me, I would be happy with anything, but I would rather ask for something from Japanese cuisine. Nikujagu, or oden, or something stewed. Something that will warm the body. If they prepared something from Japanese cuisine for me, I'd be completely captivated. (laughs) I cook for myself, my signature dish is pasta. Favorite — polonaise with red wine. If I were cooking for my girlfriend, I would ask what kind of pasta she would like and cook it according to her request.
What else to do on a date at home? Should I watch a movie? I don’t have any special «wants»! I choose what to watch depending on my mood. My favorite movie is «Titanic». I think I watched it more than 20 times. I love many scenes in it: Jack and Rose meeting, the scene where everyone is dancing. No matter how many times I watch the film, I never get tired of it. And I cry every time I watch it. It would be nice to share this goodness. By the way, today I'm in the mood... for some bright action!
Yuhi: I'm a pretty outdoor person, and I think it would be great to have a date at an amusement park. Carousels where people scream are not for me, I would prefer to just drink coffee instead. (laughs) But if a girl says: «I really want to go for a ride with you!», I, of course, will try my best. (laughs) Those creepy carousels are not for me, but I like the view of the amusement park world.
In the evening you want to drink alcohol, savoring the aftertaste.
I can recommend a place for a date in my small homeland, Osaka: the Minami-Horie district. It's like Daikanyama in Tokyo, with many trendy restaurants and cafes. It's quiet and fresh, be sure to visit!
Lately, however, I have become a little more of an indoor person — more often I spend my weekends relaxing at home. Cooking, wine, games... I realized that you can have quite a lot of fun at home. I play «Puyo Puyo» all the time. (laughs) The most popular game in the group is «Winning Eleven», and the strongest player is Hinata. Kota and Takumi also got involved, so the four of us are constantly fighting on tour. (laughs)
