[ENG TRANS] GNJB JUNON "Kateihou no Anata He (If you were)" Special Interview

Q. If you were to go on an adventure together, who would you choose from the members? 

Ryota: The song "Multiverse Adventure" included in the EP has the story of "Even if you're not by my side...." For us, the "You" in this song refers to Kansokusha (fan name). It's a song that contains the meaning that we'll overcome any obstacle for the sake of meeting "You", and even become heroes. Here's the regular silly question from JUNON. Which member do you want to go on an adventure together? 

Kousaku: Jun. Because he seems adventurous. 

Ryota: Can't we just go alone?

All six: Of course you can't!

Kazuto: Ryota, huh? Let him be eaten by a bear

Ryota: So it's that kind of adventure, huh? Kaname, then.

All six: What do you mean by 'Kaname, then'? (lol) 

Kaname: I choose Masaya. Because if I asked him, "Will it be okay?", he'll probably say, "Surely it will be okay!" 

Takato: Kousaku! Because we often go out to eat together, I'll feel at ease. 

Masaya: I choose Kazuto. He has the stamina, and we can enjoy the adventure together. 

Ryota: Does he have stamina? 

Kaname: He has the least stamina!

Kazuto: No sweat. I'll go with Masaya too. Because he's got the energy during MV shooting and accompanied me being energetic (lol) 

Jun: I choose Kazuto. Since his fortune telling results this year are good. 

Ryota: Well that's fortune telling!

Q: Who is punctual? Who is a bit loose with time?

Kazuto: "Keikakudowori" is a rare song where we all rap together. It has philosophical lyrics, so it reflects our uniqueness. I want people to see us performing this song!

Masaya: The exchanges are non-stop, so it's fresh and interesting.

Kousaku: Is there anyone who is punctual?

Ryota: Isn't it Kaname?

Kaname: When it's not work related, I'm kinda...

Takato: I think it's me

All six: That's true

Masaya: Takato is punctual even in private

Kaname: Of course, everyone is punctual when it comes to work

Kazuto: Obviously

Ryota: I'm quite strict, right?

Kousaku: But we never make any appointed time in private, right?

Ryota: Huh?

Kaname: Ahaha (lol). Generally, Genjibu is on time.

Other five: Except for them (lol).

Masaya: But they're punctual for work.

Ryota: Mr. K, right?

Kousaku: I'm just at my own pace.

Kazuto: Don't use "at my own pace" as an excuse! (lol)

Takato: But there was a time when Kazuto didn't show up for two and a half hours.

Masaya: Two and a half hours!

Ryota: Huh, that's kinda cool.

All six: Huh?

Ryota: That's cool. Because I usually arrive about 15 minutes early.

All six: What you do is correct!!! 

Q: Do you want to be the one getting (your feelings) played? Or do you want to be the one playing on (one's feelings)?

Kaname: "Utsukushii Hito" is a mature song. It's about realizing that someone you thought only you knew actually belongs to everyone. I think this song is the most humane in the whole EP. Also, it's a song that will sway your heart.

Jun: What does "being played on" mean?

Kousaku: It's like having "Uwaaahhh" moments.

Masaya: I want to be one whose feelings get played on. I want to be swayed around.

Kazuto: I want to do the love game. In the end, I'm the one who's able to play on one's feelings (strikes a pose).

Ryota: Scary. I want to be played on. People would rather chase than be chased.

Masaya: That's wrong.

Ryota: Huh?

Takato: You want to chase?

Ryota: I want to play on someone's feelings!

Kazuto: You want to be swayed?

Ryota: I want to be swayed

Kazuto: OK

Jun: I want to play on someone who's trying to play on my feelings.

All six: (Bursts into laughter)

Kazuto: But, Jun, can you tell? The moment that you maybe getting played on.

Jun: I can not tell.

Kousaku: I'm the opposite. I want to be the one being played on by the one who wants to be played on.

All six: (LOL)

Kazuto: You can never be able to get together with that (lol).

Kaname: I used to want to be played on, but now I want to do the playing.

All six: He changed!

Takato: I got my heart skipped a beat when fans told me they liked me at a release event, so I want to be the one getting played on!

Q: Do you believe in aliens?

Takato: "Suironteki ni Uchuujin" is a pop, fun, and cute song. It features a language called "Ninanina," spoken by aliens, with two members singing in Ninanina language while the rest play human roles. So, do you believe in aliens?

Masaya: I've seen them.

All six: Huh?!

Masaya: If you've seen UFOs, that means there are aliens, right?

Ryota: I don't believe in aliens.

Kousaku: I do.

Ryota: You all know about the "Grey" type of aliens, right?

Masaya: You're already at the level of saying terms like "Grey", that means you like them, huh?

Ryota: That appearance represents our future selves.

All six: He's at it again.

Takato: You actually like them the most, don't you?

Ryota: It's the result of spending too much time on the internet, evolving our eyes and brains.

Masaya: Then why do you know that it's future appearance, right now?

Ryota: Why?

Masaya: No, I mean, why do you know?

Ryota: Me?

Masaya: Who else? (lol)

Ryota: It's my inference.

Kazuto: In my opinion, there's some truth to that inference. 

All six: Oh?

Kazuto: Let's assume that when highly evolved humans are facing extinction, they might flee to space. So it's humans escaping to space. And as a result, when they come back from space, they come as aliens.

Takato: What about you, Jun?

Jun: Oh, sorry, sorry. I was communicating with space.

Ryota: What were they saying?

Jun: That is... I can't remember.

All six: (lol)

Q: Since "Diamond Lily" is about lilies, do you have a favorite flower?

Kousaku: "Diamond Lily" is characterized by its melancholic piano sound, a song sung while longing for someone far away. In the performance, we divide into ghosts and human roles. I hope people enjoy not only the song but also the performance, and have fun guessing who is who. So, what's your favorite flower?

Takato: Sunflowers.

Masaya: I like cherry blossoms.

Kousaku: Morning glories.

Kazuto: Lately, I've been into hydrangeas.

Jun: Cosmos, I feel like the name is cool.

Kaname: Turkish bellflower. It's my birth flower.

Ryota: That white, butterfly-like one.

Takato: If you can't remember the name, you don't really like it, then.

Ryota: It has a strange shape, but it's beautiful.

Kazuto: Isn't that possibly an orchid?

Ryota: Maybe. We have good chemistry, huh?

Q: What kind of Genjibu do you want to be for the 10th anniversary?

Jun: The theme in "Daremo Shiranai Uta" is about a thousand years from now. In the midst of humanity and the world facing destruction, there's a story where the song heard is actually from a thousand years ago. What it's trying to convey is that music has the power to move people's hearts across time. It's a very emotional song.

Kazuto: The 10th anniversary is five years away. With just that time, we can do anything.

Ryota: I want to be a star.

Takato: We truly are...

Ryota: (Interrupting Takato) We're the Big Dipper!

Takato: I was still talking now!

Kazuto: This kind of dynamic between Ryota and Takato is nice, right?

Takato: I have a group I admire. I want us to be like that group.

Kaname: Jun, how old will you be in five years?

Jun: 27.

Kazuto: Still 27. What about Masaya?

Masaya: I'll be 22, I guess.

Kaname: We'll be 25.

Ryota: Yeah.

Kaname: I want to fly on planes as often as I ride the Shinkansen now. It would be great to go to various places.

Kazuto: Like having our own TV show.

Ryota: Yeah, yeah

Kazuto: Or having dome concerts.

Takato: Sounds great

Kazuto: Singing the theme song for a drama with someone in the group as the main lead?

Masaya: It's coming!

Kazuto: We want to achieve at least one of those things.

Kaname: I also want us to become ambassadors for a fashion brand as a group.

All six: We want that!

Kaname: Let's work hard together as seven members for the 5th anniversary, so we can make those dreams come true!
