Sexy Zone – 2018’s comedy judgement
In 2018 Sexy Zone are finishing the year off with their new single „Karakuri darake no tenderness/Suppin KISS“ that’s going to be released on December 5th. „Karakuri“ is the theme song for Nakajima Kento’s drama „Dorokei“ and „Suppin KISS“ is used for Softymo’s CM, both songs are used greatly!
Kento: Before the release of „Karakuri“, all my co-stars in „Dorokei“ already liked the song. Enken (Endo Kenichi)-san was in high spirits as well. I’m indebted to Sexy Zone.
Fuma: We’re thankful to you as well. It’s a popular song that is easy to remember but it’s still cool.
Shori: Right, as Johnny’s seniors we’ve managed to create one of the coolest Johnny’s songs, I think that is slowly becoming our sound now.
Sou: It’s quite fitting for the drama’s atmosphere, right?
Kento: Exactly. The drama’s soundtrack has a jazzy vibe to it so „Karakuri“ fits well.
Marius: I get it. It’s really stylish. For us it’s a song with an atmosphere that we’ve never had before.
Fuma: The MV also feels a little like a crime drama.
Marius: Yes. It feels cool like a Western film, for example like the film „Wild Wild West“.
Shori: While having the charm of a Western film, it also has the typical charm of Japanese songs that is very Sexy Zone-like as well.
Sou: Sexy Zone are adults now. The choreography feels good as well!
Fuma: The hook involves hand gestures that you can learn pretty quick.
Kento: Enken-san is also dancing to it (laughing). Everyone at my shooting location is imitating it and hums to the melody, I’m sure that there will be many people who will like the song!
Sexy Zone’s music is going well and also they had their special tv programme „Will Sexy Zone be able to change their lives in only three days!?“ where they we’re able to improve their variety skills. So, if you divide the members in tsukkomi and boke (t/n: tsukkomi=a person who makes witty, teasing jokes and boke=someone who receives the joke retorting it with silly lines), who would do what!?
Kento: I see. The five members’ power has gotten pretty explosive, so I would like to show the individuality of each members’ comedic talent.
Fuma: Yes! I wonder if I can do both?
Shori: That seems like Fuma-kun (laughing). You are the type who would be good at both.
Fuma: I want to do boke but there would be situations when you cannot avoid doing tsukkomi. I really want to play the idiot boke role the whole time (laughing). Matsushima seems to be the natural boke type.
Shori: He can do tsukkomi as well.
Sou: Eh! I definitely can’t (laughing).
Shori: Is that so~?
Fuma: Marius could do tsukkomi…not.
Kento: Well, then…boke?
Marius: A-ha!
Kento: Shori definitely does tsukkomi.
Shori: 100% (laughing).
Kento: That’s a quick response.
Shori: I can’t do boke (laughing).
Kento: I want to get teased by Shori~ (laughing). I could also do tsukkomi but…how?
Sou: So a basic boke?
Shori: You just…don’t do boke.
Marius: Probably a new type.
Kento: Recently I tend to be an entertainer rather than an idol (laughing).
Fuma: Even now I look a little bit like a hamster
I got my lower left wisdom tooth pulled out. Actually I wanted the left side to be pulled out together but it seems like it wasn’t good to pull them both out at once… Although it didn’t hurt thanks to anaesthesia, I had to have my mouth opened so wide that I thought my mouth will split. The corner of my lips tore a little (laughing).
Shori: Miyake Ken-kun was shining!
I have seen Miyake Ken-kun’s stage play „Of mice and men“. It was nice~ Although it’s a sad story, Ken-kun’s performance and production were wonderful. He quickly turned into a cool person from the beginning and on stage he was able to truly shine brightly!
Marius: The Takarazuka Revenue is wonderful after all♡
There are many stage plays and musicals that I want to see but I can’t really go see any since I am so busy at the moment~ The stage that I’ve seen recently which I thought was the best one is Takarazuka Revenue’s „Poe no Ichizoku“. The story was good as well, it was romantic and beautiful ♪
Kento: I want to hear everyone’s voice even more
For about one year or so, I’ve been updating my blog on Johnny’s web every day but I want to hear everyone’s opinions about it. When I have a slight cold and don’t really have much energy left in my blog post, I want you to encourage me, so if you have any comments, I want you to tell me with the #KTT hashtag.
Sou: The world of show business is scary~
Besides „Dorokei“ now there is another drama I’m currently addicted to, it’s a drama called „Black scandal“ that has to do with the entertainment world. It’s about an actress who’s career is ruined by a false scandal and she tries to take revenge. The entertainment world can be this scary!? That’s what I am thinking while watching it (laughing).
Keep in mind I am not a native speaker therefore there might be mistakes in my translations. Also I’m not exactly translating word for word. Feel free to correct me in my ask box any time you want, I’d appreciate it! I apologize if someone already translated something before me and I didn’t notice, I hope you don’t mind.
