other JUMP member talk about yama-chan

July Duet 2010 – YAMADAS

translated by smalltownsburns@lj

On the last JUMP member edition, the other 9 guys will talk about Yama chan! His unexpected personality is exposed here and there. Also, this month’s cosplay is soccer player to celebrate 2010 FIFA World Cup!

Yamada Ryosuke



?from Yabu?
There’s no doubt Yamada loves me. Everything he says has a "?" after it. Like “Yabu kun, what are you eating ?"or “what are you doing ?" But sorry, I have no interest in men. ….Just kidding! I love you Yamada (laughs)

?from Yaotome?
He’s really independent but not like Dai chan’s, his independency isn’t annoying (laughs). For Yama chan, he would silently eat his lunch alone or sleep on his own. I can let off that because it doesn’t get other people involved. Compare him to Dai chan, he comes in late on meet ups and forget what others just said… oh wait it’s not about Dai chan (laughs).

?from Arioka?
Sucks at lying. I don’t know whether he wants to see my reaction but he sometimes tells me “____ sings the theme song” about an artist. When that’s a lie, his nostrils flares and smirks when he’s talking so I can tell his lying right away. He actually has a naive side and asks me “do you think I gained weight?” a lot but you don’t have to worry about that!

?from Takaki?
Yamada has a cute face but he says harsh things sometimes. He says “you’re such a kid” or “you’re so stupid” to me. But he would never say anything that would hurt others so maybe he knows when to stop. Ah, that reminds me what Keito said the other day. Apparently, Yamada’s sweat smells like roses? (laughs).

?from Inoo?
Lately, when our eyes meet during concerts he tries to make me laugh by putting a funny face. You try to make it like I started it first during the MC but Yama chan did it first! If you think my serious dancing face looks like a funny face then, that’s a really rude comment.

?from Nakajima?
Even if we’re the same age, I was the one first to join the agency you know. You used to follow me around saying “Yuto kun, Yuto kun” but not as much now. Yama chan, you’re cheating on me aren’t you. With Dai chan and Keito (laughs).

?from Chinen?
Yama chan isn’t a person who talks to everyone at school. It’s not like he’s not easy to be around or awkward person. He’s not that enthusiastic. But that Yama chan sometimes throws in stupid tasteless jokes and the people who accidently heard it laugh with their nose because they don’t know what to do… Yama chan shines when he’s with JUMP but I can’t stand to see him being the unfunny guy at school (laughs).

?from Keito?
It’s embarrassing to say this to his face but I sometimes think “where would I have been without Yama chan?” that’s how much Yama chan has helped me. He points out “Keito should do this more that way” or “that one was great” and other things so I can honestly feel that I’m improving a little. I really appreciate that.

?from Morimoto?
Stop kicking the soccer ball prop at me during break time! Also, stop trying to trip me when I’m walking! What he does is really immature. You’re in 2nd year of high school now, please act more mature? (laughs) But I think it’s amazing that you can tell when I’m hiding something and you would try to figure it out. Thanks to that, I’m a little scared that you know my secrets (laughs).

?Yamada’s reply?
I thought everyone would say more criticism about me but there’s none of those. What’s wrong everyone? And What’s wrong Keito!? Saying sweet things like “without Yama chan…” will make me go mad for god sakes!! (laughs) To Ryutaro, the only person to say something bad about me, it sounds too cute. (Staffs tells him “Ah, but Ryutaro said “you haven’t grown an inch, are you all right?” at the end quietly) Hey! That’s the most hurtful realistic criticism (laughs).
