I can’t imagine working at a restaurant or store and a bunch of handsome guys walk in like how to stay pro and not freak out if I was working at a retail store and a kpop group or whatever walked in I’d be hiding, imagine working at a burger joint and fucking Travis japan walks in and orders 40 fucking burgers omg I’d be a giggling mess. Umi is so cute munching on his burger hehe AND I KNOW HIS NAME IS NOT MITCHY I CALL SHIZU MITCHY AND CHAKA SHIZU AND SHIZU MACHU IT’S A WHOLE MESS HONESTLY BUT I GET TOO CONFUSED TO CORRECT MYSELF I’M ALWAYS GONNA CALL THEM THAT SKSKSSKK

Footprints #1221 - Shooting Location

August 26th Sunny ☀️

#yugo's footprints

#shootinglocation

Good morning♪

This is Yugo Kochi, who is very sleepy... lol

Maybe because I worked too hard on M-Sute. Lol

Next,

Hmm...

This is for my reflection. I was so engrossed in watching a TV show that I was in that I came out of the house late. Lol

Sorry. Lol

OK.

Let's change the subject! 😆

I had so much fun filming Zeroichi.

I love Nasunaka so much that it didn't feel like time went by because we had so much fuuunnn. (*'ωˋ*)

Even though it was just for filming, the three of us looked like a legitimate trio (*🙂 - 🙂 *) Lol.

Really. There was a peacefulness (between the three of us) that flowed easily—so many pleasant moods.

Nasunaka gave me the freedom to say anything. ｡ﾟ(ﾟ'Д｀ﾟ)｡

I am spoiled by your kindness ( ; ; )

Do you like Nasunaka-san too? ( ; ; )

But!

I can't go on like this (T . T)

Aaaaaahhhhh, I have to work harder from now on. Cheer up! I will work on the location variety skiiiiilllll (^^)

My spirit is rising. Lol

Lastly...

Thanks for all your hard work and schoolwork today.

A sunny Saturday is nice, isn't it!

But you can still see some rain clouds in some places.

I wish there was no ⚡ (T . T) Lol

I want the weather to be good today too. Lol

Don't forget to wash your hands, gargle and stay hydrated!

I'm grateful every day.

I just had a thought.

I'm so excited right now, my heart is beating so fast.

This is my current feeling. Lol

I'm looking forward to iiittt!* (E/N: *Kochi, Hokuto, Travis Japan Chaka & Umi went to see Jesse's Beetlejuice Musical Play)

See you tomorrow!

Keep smiling ☺️

(Kochi took a group selfie with Hokuto, Travis Japan Chaka & Umi in a backstage waiting room)

E/N: My dear Yugo, Zeroichi was fun & entertaining today! I'm really enjoying the effortless back-and-forth between the you and Nasunaka duo. Also, thank you so much for letting us see you lift a football! Enjoy Jesse's Beetlejuice Musical Play!

[2019.09.26] Travis Japan’s Gesture Game part 2

[mtdgngn]

[Translation] 20200513 - anan (cover:Travis Japan)❸

***My English is not very good, so it maybe difficult to read. But I'll try my best!***

***From here

Kaito Miyachika→ Chaka

Kaito Nakamura→ Umi

Noel Kawashima→ Noel

Shizuya Yoshizawa→ Shizu

Genta Matsuda→ Genta

Ryuya Shimekake→ Shime

Kaito Matsukura→ Kura

***

Travis Japan made a cool appearance on their first cover of "anan". Their round-table talk start with their thoughts on the cover shooting that they heard the day before the shooting!

Shime: I was surprised to see the schedule. How fast it came true!

Noel: Of course I was surprised and delighted, but I also thought, “What will our shooting be like? We will be undressed?” (lol).

Chaka: A little while ago, Kaito (Nakamura) and I appeared in “anan” together.

Umi: At that time, when I came to the shooting, I talked to Chaka, "We become famous." I thought it was an honor because only limited people could appear on the cover.

Shizu: I'm glad that "anan" shoots a lot more cool than I really am. The first time I appeared in “anan”, I took pictures of the magazine with my phone right away.

Kura: This time, shooting with using water was a fresh experience for me. It was the first time for me to get wet by such a lot of water and change my underwear for shooting.

Genta: I thought I changed clothes to go a location shooting. For example, athletics.

Kura: Did you think you changed your clothes because you would sweat?

Genta: I thought I would fall into the water.

Inspired by the theme of their feature, collecting their respective parts to create ideal body for them.

Chaka: Noel has a beautiful body.

Genta: So, It’s decided that Noel is in charge of the upper body. Especially his “Wappai” (meaning from the armpit to the chest) is amazing!

Noel: Thank you!

Shizu: Regarding the bottom, should we choose that of Chaka(Miyachika)?

Chaka: My bottom is plump. Is the bottom of Shime(Shimekake) tight?

Shime: My bottom may be soft.

Shizu: Being plump is very Chaka’s bottom.

Genta: How about the bottom of Shizu(Yoshizawa)?

Chaka: It's stubby like mochi.

Umi: No, it's plump.

Kura: That's true. It's cute!

Chaka: My bottom isn't far behind from his. Which should we choose?

Noel: The battle of their bottoms has begun (lol).

Shime: I think that of Shizu is better!

Kura: Chaka has good thighs.

Chaka: My thighs are plump. Is it okay?

Shizu: It seems to have a good connection with my bottom!

Chaka: Whose are the best for below the knee?

Genta: For the knee, I want to be chosen.

Umi: Matsukura and Genta should share left and right knees.

Chaka: Matsu Matsu(Matsukura & Genta) supports the body (lol).

Genta: Can I be in charge of the left knee?

Kura: Then I’m in charge of the right one.

Noel: Shime looks slender, but in reality his triceps are great. When you were in the third year of junior high school, did you do muscle training hard?

Shime: Yeah. At the time, I was doing muscle training under the influence of Mr.Yamashita (Tomohisa)’s toned body that appeared in "anan".

Chaka: Roll your sleeve and show your arm.

Umi: Oh! Wow!

Shime: I was told that way for the first time (he gets bashful).

Chaka: Because Shime has a small face, his own is good for the shape of the face isn't it? So is Kaito.

Umi: I want to put Genta’s nose on my face.

Noel: Kaito has a big nose, so Genta’s nose will fit your face.

Kura: The eyes are absolutely Chaka’s.

Genta: Because his eyelashes are “wide”.

Chaka: “Wide”...!?

Umi: Which do you want to be chosen, your eyes or eyelashes?

Chaka: What? You separate my eyes and eyelashes!?

Kura: You have chiseled face, so let's make everything around the eyes Chaka’s. Then, whose lips should be chosen?

Noel: Matsukura’s lips are smooth and pretty.

Umi: Those have the characteristic and beautiful shape, and maybe Matsukura would be good.

Kura: Don't sympathize with my small role in the body, like "I'll give you the lips charge!"

Shime: Calm down. Your lips are pretty (lol).

Chaka: Kaito's lips are sometimes cut by dryness and bleed (lol).

Kura: In terms of teeth, Genta‘s teeth are beautiful.

Chaka: Matsumatsu get the charge of around the lips as well as knees!

Shime: I like Matsukura's small ears.

Chaka: Shime’s ears are also pretty.

Shime: Those are so small ...

Noel: Who has the big earlobes?

Genta: In the past, I heard that people with big earlobes could be rich, so I used to pull my earlobes hard.

Chaka: I was often pulled earlobes by my dad, too. However, I think that Kaito’s ears, which are originally good, are good.

Kura: It will surely bring in good fortune and money together.

Noel: I think Kaito’s ears will spend all the money as much as brought in (lol).

Umi: There is no problem because the basis of the body is Noel’s. … Ah, no. We have to change our brains!

Chaka: The left brain is Noel’s and the right brain is Shime’s. This makes it possible to put out both smart and peculiar characters.

Shizu: That's great!

Chaka: And Shizuya's ...

Genta: Eyebrows!

Noel: His down slanting eyebrows are cute.

They decided the perfect body in a very friendly. What's the secret of their friendship?

Genta: I think we aren’t to be outdone by any other group about the friendship.

Shime: Of course, we sometimes have a disagreement, but that's why we can know each other deeply.

Chaka: Every member can reflect on himself and apologize himself.

Genta: Lately, Shime and had a disagreement a bit, right?

Kura: We had a disagreement for the third day straight (lol). It was an extension of a joke. Why we were fighting is...

Shime: It’s that we two couldn't decide what to do after a meal.

Noel: It's difficult to understand fights between peculiar characters (lol). By the way, when did you feel that Travis Japan was known to many people?

Chaka: I think it was when we had "Toraja-NINJAPAN-". Where we did its local performances, we were able to appear on local TV shows. That made me feel that the opportunities many people saw us had been increasing.

Shizu: In “Toraja”, there was a new challenge like a trampoline, and each of our performance skills on the stage improved. Furthermore, we were taught by Mr.Takizawa (Hideaki) to be confident. We grew up very well.

Shime: I think it was when all of us went to dinner together last May.

Chaka: It was dinner where Shizu cried.

Kura: Someone took the ingredients for the shabu-shabu that Shizu would like to eat, and he cried ...

Shizu: No!

Chaka: Actually, because you had worries.

Shime: I think that the fact that we were able to share all our thoughts then changed the awareness of the group and prompted us to move forward.

Umi: I think it was August 10th (the first day of "Summer Paradise 2019"). All of our fans followed our destination we had anew. I am grateful that they have supported us.

Genta: From now on, we aim to be a global group! I hope Austin (Mahon) and our collaboration will be realized.

Umi: Wouldn't it be nice to have concert of “Tooth”?

Kura: It's "Teeth" (a private duo of Matsukura and Takuya Kageyama from Johnny’s jr.)! If I have the opportunity, I would like to do it.

Shizu: What we definitely want to do is a nationwide tour.

Umi: We will unify the whole country like Nobunaga.

Noel: Nobunaga didn’t unify the whole country, so Hideyoshi or Ieyasu is correct (lol).

Chaka: We wouldn't have noticed the mistake without Noel (lol).

[J-Pop] Travis Japan has released a solo photo of Kaito Miyachika (Chaka) for their upcoming debut digital single “Just Dance!” which is scheduled to be released on October 28th.  

[sennqu]

<3 such a great interview! and from what i understand, these were their direct, untranslated answers! (save for one of shizu's). their english is getting so good for only just spending 6 months in the US so far! they're working so hard.

Chaka ❤️

Noel's pride in being an idol will never fail to tug at my heartstrings.. he's so amazing. idols are so amazing.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

god i love that wonky cardboard travis japan house sign. i love them so much!

[sennqu]

i love when shimechika just stand or sit close together and all the shimechika people go omg 😍 the recent dance video + the insta photos were so good to shimechika fans, haha. making something out of nothing <3

throwback to ~4 months ago to shimechika channel, lmao. chaka saying he's the girlfriend in their relationship. may we all be 俺 pronoun girlfriends.

being an idol shipper is fun when the idols themselves encourage it. it's not so much a game as it's like.. hm, it's half shared fantasy and half just plain appreciation? because friendship is nice <3

tomorrow, chaka is gonna celebrate his 25th birthday on instalive and i reaaaaally hope i remember to tune in orz i keep missing their IG lives lately. looking forward to seeing everyone wear red too, haha. travis "chaka fanclub" japan.

[sennqu]

My BOYS TTwTT they really are participating in AGT.... what the hell is up with Chaka's hair TTwTT this is what you get for cutting your bangs away before you left Japan...

ahhhh it's their 10th anniversary too ;w; they're really doing the most with their time in America. They're so amazing. I hope they have a lot of fun participating and get a lot of new fans through the show. They're hopefully reaching a much wider audience with this appearance! I believe in them.

for followers that don't know but would like to, Travis Japan (Traja/TJ) are a japanese idol group. They technically haven't debuted yet, i.e. released a physical single through a major label, and are considered trainees under their agency even with their more than 10 years of experience. Traja announced on March 2022 that they would be participating in World of Dance in Orange County and would be staying in the USA for an indeterminate amount of time studying English/Dance/Singing. They placed third on WoD and qualified to participate in the regionals happening this July! And in the short time they've been in America so far, they've participated in another dance competition (Prelude Las Vegas), and performed in Rising Japan music festival as well as in Anime Expo. And now they're participating in AGT! ^o^

Since I've already written this much, haha, I'm gonna link the latest video from their dance channel where they dance to music by their senior idols in the agency, bringing in new interpretations and breathing in new life to these classic and locally famous songs!
