Shining smile , happy & fun every day x 6

PLEASE ACCEPT OUR SPARKLING SMILES.

7 MEN 侍 who charmed us with their passionate live in 「Johnny's Ginza 2021 Tokyo Experience」. For this month, we got their cheerful smiles ♪ We deliver to you in ample amount the diary of naturally overflowing smiles and happiness of these 6 people when gathered together!

MOTODAKA KATSUKI

[SMILE] I was happy when I heard that the official account of Japanese Fisheries Agency noticed me! They said, "There is someone from Johnny's Jr. who said he wants to join the Japanese Fisheries Agency?" and they mentioned my name. I made "うおうお TV", a series about fishes, in the ISLAND TV, and I wrote in my blog, "I want to join the Japanese Fisheries Agency in the future," and I think it is thanks to the fans for spreading my love for fishes to the world. That's why, I am really thankful!

[RECENT HAPPENING] I went to fishing alone in a long while and I had fun. I made measures to be not sunburned, I applied sunblock and wore long-sleeved top...But I got so absorbed in fishing and I rolled up the sleeve, so from my fingers to my elbows got sunburned (bitter laugh). It stings and it hurts~! But since I was able to caught 60 horse mackerel, so I was very satisfied♪ When I got home, I filleted the horse mackerel and rolled in shiso and fried those, I also did namerou (finely chopped fish with miso) and fish bone cracker. It was really delicious~!!

SASAKI TAIKO

[SMILE] (Takahashi) Yuuto conveyed his thoughts about 「Johnny's Ginza」, and he didn't only talk about 7 MEN 侍's  good points objectively, but he also talked about the parts where we have to do some more work. I am happy that he pointed out the things that are normally hard to say, so I am really relying on him. I was able to smile because I got an opinion that we can grow too! A relationship where we can discuss sharp reviews is valuable, I want to treasure everyone as close friends from now on too.

[RECENT HAPPENING] I went to watch IMPACTors' 「Johnny's Ginza」. Watching from the audience seat, I discovered things like, "if it is done this way, it will hype up the audience," and I also learned the hint on how to create a sense of unity during situations where audience can't clap their hands. I also learned that setlist is very important, and I also knew the importance of watching the lives of different groups. From now on, I will watch a lot of lives and DVD concerts, and I want to research on those and study them! 

SUGETA RINNE

[SMILE] I burst out laughing when I am watching variety shows. Recently, I like Chidori-san's variety show! I laugh everytime Chidori-san's accurate tsukkomi hits my humor. I always watch the recorded shows alone and burst into laughter (LOL). I get refreshed with laughing so it is great. Also, during filming or talking with the members...I smile when we are together. Since everyone is funny, so it is enjoyable to be with them! There are a lot of time when we are like, "this is funny, let's watch it again," and watch the videos we shot for Johnny's Jr. Channel and ISLAND TV.

[RECENT HAPPENING] I am happy that I got 2 rare cards that I like from the popular anime trading card arcade game ~♪ But, I got carried away and thought, "maybe a better card will come out" and I continued playing the game, but after that, I only lost! More than the joy of getting the rare cards, I regret wasting for game fee (bitter laugh). Whatever it is, it is important to know when to stop.

YABANA REI

[SMILE] I always smile at the members' foolishness (LOL). I really like the 7 MEN 侍 who passionately pursues to be funny than to be cool! When filming videos for ISLAND TV, we think of different things, but there are a lot of naughty ideas and plot twists, everyone's contents are like the contents of the boys in middle school (LOL). But, it can show our personalities so it's okay. Because of the videos, Taiko appeared in「Out x Deluxe」, and Katsuki also got a job from his videos about filleting a fish...I am happy that their contents landed them works! I also want to be in a variety show where I can talk about bass and musical instruments~! (praying)

[RECENT HAPPENING] In my "live setup" class in college, I've become the stage director. For the sake of earning some credits, I took the responsibility (/took the class), but I have to talk to a lot of my batchmates and juniors more than I did until now. I talked about the parts around the bass  to people who knows a lot about instruments, it's fun to be able to have a very maniac talk about those!

NAKAMURA REIA

[SMILE] I think The one that made me smile lately is when we started the 「Johnny's Ginza」!safely, we were unsure whether the shows could start as planned, but we believed the we can definitely have a live and we rehearsed with all our might. That's why, I was really happy when we were able to meet the fans! Moreover, I reconfirmed that being able to hold a live is not something to be taken granted for, and I was able to add more power to the performance. We tried to make it a live that would be engraved in the hearts of everyone so we rolled up our sleeves and determinedly performed. We were passionate in every performance, and it was so much fun!

[RECENT HAPPENING] I am concentrating in the rehearsal for the musical 「SUPERHEROISM 」which I am starring. (The interview was done on the first 10 days of June) During the break time, it was heavily raining, and when I went to buy a bento, I saw a boy, who is around at kindergarten age, wearing a raincoat and playing with a ride in the park. I remembered that when I was also a child, I didn't mind the rain and wanted to play in the park, and that scenery was heartwarming (LOL). I prayed for that boy to not catch a cold.

KONNO TAIKI

「Johnny's Ginza」live really made me smile! The online streaming is also fun, but the enthusiasm always rises more when performing in front of the audience! In addition, since the time we started playing the band, our bond really became stronger. In a band, it is important for everyone to produce one sound, so a practice is necessary. Before, each one's skills are in different levels and it was tough, but everyone became better recently, and we can now cover each one's weaknesses. Since I can now feel that, playing as a band became much more fun!

[RECENT HAPPENING] There is a studio where we can do band practice in the office. Our instructor teaches us a lot of things every time, but during break time, (Iwasaki) Taisho casually drops by to have fun, we sing together with my guitar accompaniment. That image is like during break time in school (LOL). I want to trying singing together with Taisho on stage someday.

ur thoughts on tofu? if u like it how do u like to eat it? i like soft tofu stew or fried tofu! also are u into barbies, bratz, monster high, or other or none? and what was your childhood obsession? mine was carebears (my fave is tenderheart)

wow so I literally hand wrote out a response then just never typed it silly Mel also this is a long one I apologize now

anyways, I love tofu my mom actually used to make a chocolate pudding and somehow used the tofu as maybe a base I don't remember but it was amazing. I typically like it savory it picks up flavors so well, my favorite is miso soup with tofu it's soooo good.

so I love Barbies and still do, I don't play with them but I love what she represents and how they've really seemed to work on giving girls confidence and life lessons like the YouTube channel they have with vlogger Barbie, if I remember right she was always spreading a positive message. now I also love Bratz I was at their target audience when they came out and I lost my mind over them I absolutely loved them and of course still do (have you seen their insta lately it's so funny, they've started catering to our generation (millennials I'm 25) parents are pissed but I think it's awesome).

now for an obsession that one is a little tough, when I was younger I was always changing up what I was interested in (which is now more than likely my bpd/adhd and possible asd) I remember some of the bigger things that I was interested in and some of them still now so maybe an obsession but, whinne the Pooh, Greek mythology, video games

thanks for you ask it really made me think 🤔 and I enjoyed it
