comparison Photo CHECK!
"We're so young!" Potato
posasen asked the same way they did 10 years ago, and despite the embarrassment "We're really doing this?" Them, the two reconstructed the image down to the way have their legs crossed. There was a constant smile for the photo shoot, and have maintained exchanges of nostalgic memories alive.
Toma is a special friend with whom I have grown - Yamashita

was tension in the air
Yamashita: There are so many nostalgic photos ~ (Check back issues of Potato)
Ikuta : You're right, nostalgic. Yamashita
: Looking back now, we were so young. Ikuta
: Yamashita's cheeks are plump (laughs).
Yamashita : You're right ~. Ah, look at this. Here's an article from when we went to America together. Ikuta
: Ah ~, went. And if I remember correctly, Yamashita was stung by a bee. And you ruined it all for you (laughs). Yamashita
: True true! Could see that my mood was totally low. Thinking about it now, it's strange to think that something like that made me so depressed ... Ikuta
: When I see you well, the other members were depressed too much (laughs). Mentally we were still weak ~. Yamashita
: That's ... As usual for many years go by, do not forget to episodes like this. But in reality, Toma and I were soon in more sessions together at this time. Ikuta
: We were. We have only taken a picture at this point in the same poses of the time, but it is shameful to do so now (laughs). Yamashita
: Who would have thought we would be doing a photo shoot with the same poses 10 years later? (Laughs). But I really felt the length of our history. At that time, was not half as going to play, even when they said they had a photo shoot to go? Ikuta
: We were always hanging around the studio. And then we cn our suits we all soaked in sweat, even before the photo session and receive cries for the Stylist and makeup-san-san all the time. Yamashita
: ~ We were so unpleasant.
( Potato: Do you remember the first time you meet?)
Yamashita: I had seen television programs in which take was, so I knew by sight, but the first time I really knew what was ... Ikuta
: In a rehearsal studio on a television. Yamashita
: True, true! Ikuta
: Yamashita wearing a maroon sweatshirt that Diaye for some reason had a torn sleeve (laughs). "What? There is a guy with a torn sleeve here today, "I remember being surprised.
Yamashita: Because suddenly appeared to me all messed up (laughs). Of course I probably should not have gone, but I really wanted to participate in trials, so I showed up anyway. Ikuta
: Well, apart from the question of whether or not a good idea to go when you're in that state at that time, there was always a feeling of "Whatever happens, we must be there!"
Yamashita : Right. The Jr.s were generally more aggressive than now, or rather, everyone was desperate. Speaking of which, those lessons were so hard ~ backflip. Ikuta
: We continue to teach new dances, and only accumulate with everything we had. Yamashita
: There was tension in the air, the good, the sempais were too strict ... But in retrospect, I think it was a good experience for Jr. to spend our days in a tense environment like that. Ikuta
: Mm. I think I was trained in a lot of ways in those days.
Yamashita, Take was a passionate man at that time already. And you you were really serious about things, he thought about the balance between the suits and shoes and other things. And conversely, I was very careless in that sense (laughs), looking back myself, I was really childish. I am grateful to Take for guiding me properly even though it was so. Ikuta
: But Yamashita also has always been a passionate man. And you were a kid who worked hard without showing their weaknesses to others. I remember once when we had a hockey game on a TV show, the first time he gained there were tears in his eyes, but when the host said, "You're crying," , were like "No, I got a little sweat in my eyes, "that comment Showa [former] (laughs). I thought like, how far are you going to hide your weakness?! Yamashita
: Hahaha! I remember ~. That's a nostalgic chapter.
not want to forget the passionate feelings we had in adolescence
Ikuta : I was in the same high school as Yamashita too, so when think about it, I spent half my life with you now. Yamashita
: True ~. We have been together since we were kids, so do not say anything even if we know how both feel, and this is how we can talk about anything without any worry. I guess it's a great thing you spend our days in adolescence together, and that was when we went through the biggest change in our lives. I do not think I've ever met anyone else with whom I feel I've "grown up" that way. Ikuta
That's because we're friends, and while we're partners. Yamashita
: Right! ... But you know, is hard to put into words our relationship ~ ... Ideally, readers would come to this studio right now and we hear directly from us! Ikuta
: True. I think if we could hear directly transmit a lot of things. Yamashita
: And for me, the weight between receiving advice from someone Masy Takes receive advice are totally different. In every word you say, I think the experience and what comes with it, is what really makes coming to my heart. When I give advice to another person, I always attempt to speak the words that reach the heart of another person as the way or do the words of jack ... well, because that would be embarrassing to conclude with something like this, so do not end up talking yet! (Laughter)
( Potato: Then talk to Toma-kun on the good things Yamashita-kun ...)
Ikuta : The Best of Yamashita is how much he cares about his fans . Really I can say that he always tries to keep in touch with them. As performed its official journal updates through their mobile every day. Yamashita
: It is true that what I really treasure are the relationships I have with my fans. Some days I can not write anything interesting in the Journal of the official website because I'm just not up to par, but I can upgrade in the hope of everyone that still support me, including how I'm in sometimes. Ikuta
: Also, I think it's good Be aggressive in the right direction. I mean the first words Yamashita said as he entered the studio today, these were: "Let's make the photos in this session out on the cover!" (Laughter)
Yamashita : Of course. That just shows that whenever I go to photo shoots with the mentality of being on the cover! (Laughs) Take also has passionate feelings like that too, really. Ikuta
: Right. We have not changed anything (laughs).
Yamashita: Because they do not want to forget the passionate feelings we had as a teenager. Ikuta
: Those days when we were desperate for all the fans that we could. Yamashita
: That's right! And, of course, from now we followed I would like us to be aggressive in the right direction in this way. Ikuta
: To keep working hard with ambition. Yamashita
: Mm. Well, these positive feelings are also something that I have learned from Toma.
