Q16: What makes you have the awareness that you are in a unit?
A: Should be while I was not here. I was told about such combination, and I thought form that and reached out this thought.

Q17: Person impressive to you?
A: Should be Nishijima (Hidetoshi)-san. I felt that he is a person that though we haven’t been getting along thus far, we’d be in very good relationship and can go to a drink after long time.

Q18: Backstage story of Kouhaku that you could tell us now?
A: Before the start of Kouhaku, Nakai (Masahiro)-kun gave us pocket money. There were five pockets, four of them were with 10,000 yen and only one was with 1,000 yen. When we greeted him and got the pocket money he would ask “This year who got the 1,000 yen one? Oh you got the prize, congratulations”. I haven’t got this “prize”, not even once.

Q24: Kouhai you met a lot this year?
A: Should be Nishihata (Daigo)-kun.

Q25: What was Matsumoto-san in 2017.
A: His movie “Narratage” is on roadshow, and he is filming “99.9” which would be on show in January, the filming is suspended a bit for concert and then it will start again, no matter which road he goes it’s a tough road. He is splendid. He is with different physicality. I can’t do what he does.

Q26: What was Sakurai-san in 2017.
A: He always appears on TV such as MUSIC DAY, 24HTV, and series drama “Saki ni Umareta Dake no Boku”. I think he should be busy.

Q27: What was Aiba-san in 2017.
A: After Kouhaku he started filming of Kizoku Tantei for many days which the filming started from morning to next morning. It’s difficult to take a TV drama leading actor role while having many regular programmes, I think he had a tough moment.

Q28: What was Ohno-san in 2017.
A: His movie “Shinobi no Kuni” was on roadshow, he was busy, wasn’t he.

Q30: Message to fan.
A: Including my movies, the roadshow dates of our movies are decided, in the coming year I hope that we can continue our works which would bring joy to everyone.
