「Masuda Takahisa's 〇〇 DAY 30」

Thank you very much for the lots of questions I received to commemorate the 5th Anniversary of Masuda Takahisa’s 〇〇 this time 😊❤️

I’m sorry for not able to answer all!

I really had fun！
I was happyー！

It's a valuable place to be connected with everyone, so please continue to support me😊

And this time, members of Johnny's family had also participated so today, I'll release them all at once!!


let's go !!


C’mon!!

(TN: I am just copy-pasting what I’ve translated previously but not including the TN, since he just reposted his previous answers to questions sent by members of Johnny's groups lol)

Q.（Inohara Yoshihiko）

In case Massu's surname is not Masuda and changed it to Yamada, there is a possibility that your nickname becomes "Yamma". Is that okay?



A. Yes! That is fine. I'm ready!

Senpai... how to fit 〇〇... lol

😆😆😆❤️❤️❤️❤️

In case Inohara-kun's surname changed to Yamada, it will be Yamacchi!


I'm happy！Thank you very much ❤️


Well, I wonder whose 〇〇 will be (answered) tomorrow 😊✨





Q.（Nagao Kento）
What is the important thing you consider when making costumes?
Also, what do you decide first when making costumes?

A. Nagao-kun is also making costumes right？
I think I am always pursuing what is interesting "now"!

In addition, I consider the details of the theme and the song in deciding!

The most important thing is to create something that raises the members' excitement!

Second is something that is memorable to those who'll see it！


Thank you for the question❤️




Q.（Arioka Daiki）
Congratulations on the 5th Anniversary.
I'll ask a question while overdrafting.
Previously, Massu was wearing a customized sneakers that is the only pair in the world right.
If I ask you to let me also have the customized (sneakers), Arioka desuka(can I have)? Nashioka desuka (cannot)?

Please continue to favor Arioka Daiki.

A.NASHIoka (cannot)


For contacting me❤️
Thank you！


Q.（Nakamaru Yuichi）
What insects are you not good at？


A. ...What question is this！lol


ALL！tss！

With such a long time of keeping company with you, you never see me getting along with insects! lol


*laughs*

But..., an insect is an insect... it's not good to become a summer insect that doubts ice, right!


That's all from me！😊✨


Everyone & Nakamaru-kun
Thank you for the questions❤️





Q.（Fukazawa Tatsuya）
When will you take me to a meal?

A. Thank you for the message Fukazawa！
We had gone for a meal once!

It's lonely to think that we cannot go anymore, but if we meet onsite again I'll only greet you😊

I want to go for a meal with Abe-kun！lol


😆❤️👍



Q.（Shigeoka Daiki）
What is your favorite one-liner gag?
I would like my favorite Masuda-kun to do that in front of me!!

A . Oh, oh, origotouーーーー！(oligosaccharide)
I'll scream that joke and I'll tell you more next time! lol


Me too, I like...you❤️

Thank you😊



Q.（Kamenashi Kazuya）
Where is your home·（lol）



A. That means,
...Announce the street address！



isn't it?ー😆💦💦💦🤣www!!


Eh, that's bad！


A system that uses a surveillance camera to observe my actions...？！




It's hereー❤️



Everyoneー！
A dangerous question came from Kamenashi-kun!! lol
(*一▽一)ノ"



Thank you for busy timeーー😭❤️


Red Eyes
I'm looking forward to the next！



Q（Tsukada Ryoichi）
Massu always take me to a yakiniku restaurant, but do you know anything other than yakiniku restaurant??
Let's go for a meal when work or when this situation calm down!

A. Haha！
That's not true!
We also went other than yakiniku!!!


With Hikaru and Arioka!!
No, that's yakiniku too！lol


Tsuka-chan has an image of eating meat only so...
Can you eat vegetables and fish too?


Next time, how about shabu shabu? 😆 lol

No, yakiniku?✨



I want to go have a meal soonー！
I'm looking forward!


Thank you❤️



Q.（Hamada Takahiro）
A question for Masuda-kun.
If you can eat onigiri with only one ingredient from now on, what will you choose?


A. Beef shigureni
(Simmered beef with ginger)


Maybe！
I like umeboshi but I hate it in onigiri!

I wonder why is such at one point it's tasteful and it's hardened?!

I thought

I have to take it out and eat it little by little!

Do you understand?


Basically, it seems that I like soboro!

I was glad to hear Hamada said, "You can get along with me! I want to get close!" but you don't shorten the distance at all! lol

No way, Is Hamada also a person with only Fukazawa-like mouth?! lol

I believe you're different! lol✨

Thank you for participating in 〇〇❤️



Email me！


Ah, after all, shrimp tempura is good maybe! lol




Q.（Nakajima Kento）
Please tell your best memory with Nakajima Kento!


A. Thanks Kento❤️

I think I remember now when you told me, that was when you are still junior

You came to watch our concert and from the stage, I said "Ah！Nakajima-kun”！

I saw the view from our stage!
There's cute Kento sitting and watching!

At that time, I think it's been a while since we've met, I thought that you were a cute kid when you were little, but when I saw you, you grew a little! You become cool!

Until now you're further becoming a cool adult!


We also went for a meal

We were also talking in a dressing room without saying that Gochi was decided

Great memories right！

The best is when you were sitting, watching our stage!


Thank you 😊😊👍



A . Taichi-kun😭✨✨
Thank you very much!!!

I also asked 〇〇 to Taichi-kunー😍😍

I will answer this carefully！


I am doing my best to declutter outside work！
Now that I am spending most of the time at home, this became the place where I want to calm down and raise my excitement!

But I have lots of things I like, so I mainly moving and cleaning up but...


I also give away clothes little by little！


I haven’t started it but
I really want to try camping！😍✨

A man who can do camping is the coolest after all.

Taichi-kun
Make vegetables
Good in talks
Amazing (when playing) piano
Fashionable
Kind

I admire Taichi-kun and Taichi-kun’s life！

By all means, please make me a cool man who can camp😭✨✨✨❤️



Q.（Fujii Naoki）
Please tell if you are particular with the stage drink or what you drink before and after performance!


A. Stage drinks are water, herbal tea and sports drink！
Then, iced coffee on the back stage lol

Before the start, I drink something with amino acid and supplement that I got from the trainer!

After it was finished, I drink that cold with ice to cool down!

After resting and caring...


Beer❤️



Fujii-kun！Thank you for 〇〇😊❤️
If we can do live, I would like you to come and watch!


Well then, again!



Q.（Matsumoto Jun）
Masuda Takahisa's Johnny's senpai whom he's weakest at (difficult to deal with)...


A. Jun-kun😍❤️
Thank you very much!!

Yaーーーy！


But...



This is, you know,,,

This question,


is difficult！lol


It's a challenge from Jun-kun！？
The answer to this question is...




Jun-kun！


Please let me explain properly about why!

I like you a lot!
Of course.
There are lots of things that I like about Jun-kun!
Among them,

When we meet, we talk and he looks into our works, etc.

"Who choreographed that?" or "What's the intention" or "It was interesting!"

I wonder why he's looking deeply such as that.

I really think about this a lot.

When I'm lost or also need to talk about directing
He will listen for hours.
He also gives many advice and hints.

I am always overwhelmed on the depth and extent of his thoughts.

Because he is thinking various things so deeply, I somehow feel such!

If you have like a loose feeling, you’ll not be able to talk perfectly!

The way Arashi's work is created and Jun-kun’s power in producing are overwhelming

That’s why when I am talking with Jun-kun, I have to look back at myself and NEWS too.

It may feel close to some kind of an audition


I want Jun-kun to appreciate our live someday!

But being recognized is the highest hurdle

Talking with Jun-kun is the most nervous thing ！❤️

By the way, when I requested (to drop something) in this 〇〇, after hearing the purpose and details of the project, he sent me many questions.

Choose one! he said

Such a kind senpai.

Thank you very much Jun-kun! ❤️
The answer became very very long! lol



Q.（Kitayama Hiromitsu）
I think you like alcoholic drinks but
how are you when drunk?


A. Thank you Kitayama! ❤️

Basically, the excitement will get a little higher while drinking enjoyably but may talk a lot lol

I like to go drinking!

I used to dance for a long time with Kitayama when we were still juniors, and because we felt the same experience about being Arashi's backdancers, it feels like we’re a sort of a shinme (pair)!


If (the situation) calms down,
let's drink!

Listen to my talk!! lol



Q. (Kato Shigeaki)
Where do you live? What can you see from the window? Please tell in details about the view you can see around you.


A.Oh no！

Continuing from Kamenashi-kun...

I’ve got a rather dangerous questionーーー ！


Everyoneee！

A member is rather dangerousーーー！


Well,

okay...

I’ll answer. 👍



First of all, I can see

A big moon✨


And, Mt. Fried Chicken and Potato Hills Park
Hippo Zoo. Rhino Park.

I can see a beautiful flower road!

It's wide!


Next door is a sweets house〜！


In the yard, there are two chickens😊

I get the eggs in the morning
I fry the eggs on the hood of a car😊


And, after taking a bath with the help of Elephant-san, I borrow Santa-san’s reindeer to go to work~!

My most favorite view that I can see from the house is

After all... the sky.

I can look at the sky all the time by only thinking that this sky is connected to the sky that you are looking！


Hey！

Shige！


I enjoyed writing sentences lol


Thank you🤣✨😊



Q. (Yaotome Hikaru）
I want us- Massu, Tsuka-chan and me, to go for a meal! If the situation calms down!
Here's the question!
What are common about these three people, member color is yellow, hair color is flashy!
Then? Please (tell) your original (answer)!!

A. Hikaru❤️
Thank you！


Hello boss.

Hikaru.


I've been saying this for many years but

The system of writing Massu is in hiragana!

Okay, salary deducted~ lol

*laughs*


I see!
There are lots of common things among us after all😊👍

Hikaru loses on the flashy hair color though！

What is common among the 3 of us...

Likes yakiniku (Especially Tsuka-chan)
Likes watching at people having fun
Likes clothes
Looking at nice people.


Something like thatーー？


No.


The common point of the three of us



Well... well... we love Arioka


How about that lol


I am looking forward to (the time when) we can go out to drink 😊😊😊
Thank you！



Q.（Koshioka Yuki）
This is Massu's douki, 4U's Koshioka Yuki. This is the question to fashionable leader Massu.
What hair color will you have next?
Then, when will you call me on MASTER HITS？


A. Kosshi！
Thank you❤️
Hello this is fashionable leader!

Any hair color is fine but I want to do black lol


Come to MASTER HITSー✨✨
Let's talk a lot😊

I am unable to meet you since last time we've talked during douki meeting!

Are you doing fine？

I can't say where the radio studio is but if you find it, it's fine to come in and I give a ticket!

Every Friday 23：00〜 somewhere！I'll be waiting❤️


Thank you❤️


Q.（Takahashi Kaito）
I respect (admire) Masuda-kun for having really cool appearance while on stage!
Is there anything that you value while standing on stage?



A. Kaito❤️
Thank you！


Kyaa！I'm flattered.

Please tell me more about how cool I was lol


Eh！
The thing I value...

I wonder what it is.


Even if tens of thousands of people came to see us, I think about the time and space of one.
In every moment, I try to always have a sense that the various spots become the focus! 


🤣✨👍


Thank you!
Kaito!



Q.（Matsumura Hokuto）
Wouldn't it really, really be a bother if I visit you in Soen serialization? 


A. Hokuto〜!!
Thank you❤️


I’m watching your drama！

Oh yeah, when we met before, you said that because you like clothes, you like to go visit Soen! 😊

So we exchanged numbers!

At such time like this, I can't invite you, but please come!!

I want to see youーーー！
Let's talk about clothes!



Q. (Koyama Keiichiro)
Next time, won't you take a video to show the inside of your house? Even just your favorite spot...!


A. It's impossible！



Q.（Nasu Yuto）
What does Masuda-kun keep in mind when doing high note??


A. Kabocha (pumpkin) kun！
Ah, Nasu-kun, thank you！♥️


When I started singing seriously, the key of NEWS Nippon's chorus was barely enough to hit but every time a new NEWS song comes out, I have to do the high part so it went out naturally!

I think it hasn't changed in the last few years
Surprisingly... the range should have been the widest since long time ago.

I think that the lower keys have the limits but if you do your best, little by little, you'll be able to reach the high keys!

You'll not reach the key of the song unless you do your best so, sing!


Is that a yell?

High voice becomes tough so do not get too strong, and I think the microphone, set up, face direction or location are also important!


Let's talk at ease next time!


I don't have the skills in teaching you though lol

If it's okay for you to sing with me, let's sing together一😊✊


Jagaimo (potato)！


Ah, Nasu-kun！Thank you！




Q.（Kishi Yuta）
How many places has Massu gone overseas as of now?
Among those places, where was the most fun?
Also, in case you'll be living overseas, where will you live and what will you do?


A.　Kishi〜♥️
Thank you!!!

I have gone to around 10 places maybe?

We were allowed to do our live concert in Taiwan and Sweden so that left an impression✨

Had watched Grammy
I really enjoyed our study trip!


Amazon and East Africa also left an impression!
I swam in the Amazon river full of crocodiles and dangerous fishes, and I squeezed and drank elephant's 〇〇 for survival in the savanna!!

I like to go to a harsh location againーーー！



I want to try living in Sweden😊

The city, people and the atmosphere are gentle
I like to live there someday😍
The city is really really magnificent!

Ah, Paris is nice too

I want to try living in a wide studio-type flat,
but from noon, I’ll be going to cafe, and drink wine
I’ll stroll around the city, go home and sleep!

I like to try going to places I have never gone before!
Travelling across Europe is my dream!

Since I'm only talking about the Hawaii trip with Nakamaru-kun on TV, I got used to that, so let's go somewhere next time😊

Where do you like to go？


Q.（Matsushima Sou）
Masuda-kun does not only have outstanding sense when it comes to costumes, but also have outstanding sense when it comes to thinking of cute characters! What kind of character will you come up with right now? If possible, I like you to draw a picture of it!
Please include names too!
I love U-chan, the moon's friend （> <）



A.　Matsushima〜😍✨
Thank youーーー!!

U-chan is nice right!

I'm happy！



Speaking about that...


I think of Matsushima's signature!


↓...How is it？


(A photo of his drawing. He drew a character with a big head and small body, similar to those doodles he usually draw, using kana ま, つ, し, ま, 聡)


Ah, but

I tried to think also of a character named "Matsushimichael"! 😊👍

(Another photo of his drawing, this time, he drew a bearded man)




...I recommend the one with the signature！😊lol



Thank youー😊😊♥️
I can't totally go now but let's go out for a meal once the situation calms down😊😊



Q.（Sakurai Sho）
What is your best three favorite costumes that you've designed? It does not have to be in order (ranking).


A. Sho kuーーーーーn❤️😍❤️😍



Thank you so much!!!
I'm happy！

How are you??



Masuda is fine！


The question is 😍❤️!

I have the same emotional attachment to all but
the costumes that I made for Hey! Say! JUMP and A.B.C-Z may be special.

The information about the making (of costumes) for NEWS was few before but after getting the offer, I got and saw the photos of the past costumes, and I heard a lot about what they like!

When I created Hey! Say! JUMP's costumes, I visited them in the dressing room, checked the clothes to find out the sizes and the brand!
There's also a part of me to reconsider because it came out to be heavy and hot to wear.
Because all had different colors and designs, I think this is the most time-consuming costumes I ever made!

When I created for A.B.C-Z, I had an exchange of talk with Tsuka-chan, “Something that is easy for us to backflip. And don’t worry! I think Massu will make something that will suit us!”, so I created for the whole body, from shoes to t-shirt!

I am happy that I got the offer and it's special😊
I was also allowed to go to see the concerts of either groups and I was really glad and uplifted.


Speaking about NEWS,


I really really like the costumes from EMMA！

I also like the purple EPCOTIA costume that I thought of mainly for Koyama, which was remade to be used as opening costumes for EPCOTIA -ENCORE-!

The camouflage costume that I thought of mainly for Kato, the gown made with the use of photos taken by him and the "remake" costume series are also my favorite!

I had prepared the costumes for 「S」Tour since the concept started from the time I prepare for the NEVERLAND Tour 4 years ago so I would like you to definitely see STORY this time. 😊

Ah, my bad!
I can't say anything about interesting things! lol

But it's only clothes that I talked about! lol

You've asked to give the best 3 but...

Ignoring that naturally, I’m being a high-degree silly here...
Is that okay?🤣❤️

What I like about Sho-kun, in ranking format...
No, this will become too long so I’ll do it next time
🤣❤️


Sho-kun！Thank you very much!!!

For the words that you’ve said so far.
For the feeling of looking me behind.
They have become a big asset to me now.


I’ll do my best！
Thank you very much!!!




Q.（Higashiyama Noriyuki）
The future for Massu


A.　Amaziing😍❤️

Higashiyama-san!!!!!


Thank you very much！😭❤️❤️
I’m so happy 😭



Future

I’ll answer it carefully！

There are still lots of things I want to try as individual in NEWS😊

If possible, I'll make those come true one by one

I think a good future is surely waiting for us.

I wonder what kind of future is good.

This thinking hasn't changed but
I want to continue this work as it is now!

Continuing is really a difficult thing but we'll keep what we are now. I want to continue taking care of it.

Higashiyama-san is the senpai who is admired by many, but even if many yearn for him, he always have the level of being great and have the stoic point that can never be imitated!

Having such senior, he serves as a great example for me as well!

I also like to become someone whom others will think of me as amazing, that I'm overwhelmingly good at being on stage with many kouhais.

It's a strange feeling that I am treated kindly all the time.
When King & Prince went to Higashiyama-san’s house, he said, “Kinpuri may feel nervous since we have huge age gap so maybe Masuda can join?"

I was impressed by that kindness
when I was invited.

At the same time, since I had never been greeted like that, I was really happy

I'm sure I was the most nervous lol
（I was expected to talk...）


↑Just kidding🤣

The turning point in my life being at Johnny's that had changed my consciousness was when I was able to appear at Shounentai's SHOWTIME of
PLAYZONE  with Goseki-kun as my shinme (symmetry/pair).

I didn’t know right or left. But that important memory of the babyfaced yet muscular Masuda being allowed to dance behind Higashiyama-san while taking sweat for the flying turn, is something that I’m proud of even now.❤️


Future.
I may not see it properly but
I'll continue to run with all strength and sincerity until I can go there!

I'll work hard！


Thank you very much Higashiyama-san!!!
I really like you！


Awww... this is the last entry for the 5th Anniversary Project of Marumaru. Thank you very much Massu for the daily updates in 30 days. Otsukaresama deshita. I'll definitely miss this - Massu’s daily updates and also the days that I’m exerting my efforts in translating them lol. It was definitely difficult yet I had fun in learning a lot from this and I hope in the future, I will be more confident with my Japanese skills.
