"Sakurai Sho's Johnny's Team vs Ariyoshi Hiroiki's Genin Team Battle Field of "Zeus" (究極バトル"ゼウス", http://www.tbs.co.jp/zeus_tbs/)" 3rd battle is to be released! The regular team leader Sakurai Sho and Ueda Tatsuya who performs as bodyguard are having passionate conversation!!
Sakurai: This time was difficult too~
Ueda: Yes right (giggle). I was sorry about the embarrassing status of Senpai in the two previous battle...
Sakurai: No no no no (giggle).
Ueda: Sho-kun is our team leader. For kouhais (後輩), we have to win this 3rd battle. Everyone was having such attitude. No way for us to lose consecutively three times! Anyway let's go and win!! (Giggle)
Sakurai: I think it's Ueda who creates such atmosphere. To give up everything [in order to win] with the attitude "we shouldn't lose any more", this really saved me.
--- This is the first time Ueda joins the team and he already becomes a reliable hand of Sakurai team leader.
Sakurai: Really so!
Ueda: I'm happy about this!!
Sakurai: I have watched Honoo-no Taiiku-kai TV (炎の体育会TV, http://www.tbs.co.jp/taiikukaitv/, TBS) which Ueda performed, and thought that it would be great if the passion of that sort in that program will also appear in "Zeus". I am relieved that Ueda joins us.
Ueda: When we formed the circle before battle, I was standing far from Sho-kun. And then, Sho-kun called me to stand beside him... That was amazing... I was happy (giggle).
Sakurai: I have a sense of relief like I have recruited a strong bodyguard (giggle). So I wanted Ueda to be beside me (giggle).
Ueda: In the future please do [continue thinking so]. If you go to any dangerous place, I am beside you (giggle). I shall guard you firmly!
Sakurai: ... Bodyguard (giggle). Seriously [Ueda's] presence was relieving.
Ueda: I like Sho-kun since past.
Sakurai: Ahhahahaha (laugh). Is that so?
Ueda: Because I am not good at talking, I didn't specifically put [my feeling] in words. I all along watched Sho-kun's TV dramas too.
Sakurai: I am happy!
Ueda: I even like Sho-kun more after "Zeus"... I feel the tenderness of Sho-kun, I feel that he watches over kouhais generously. [Sho-kun] is the team leader who creates good atmosphere so that kouhais can do their best. I want to work under this person.
--- In order to "to fight and not to lose" there are new members joining this round of battle.
Sakurai: Kis-My-Ft2.
Ueda: Right. Kis-My (キスマイ), Sexy Zone.
Sakurai: And also A.B.C-Z.
--- Straight off, new member Nikaido Takashi has a question for team leader.
Sakurai: What is that~ (giggle). I feel anxious.
--- He was anxious about "Is my clamour [performance of side cast to create a vivid atmosphere] annoying?"
Sakurai: Ah~ this, since the filming finished I can talk about this. Though I said things like it was tingling, well... I have no thought about that [I mean nothing about that] (giggle).
Ueda: Ahhahahaha (laugh).
Sakurai: There were many genin-san in the filming scene, while we did not have that many from our side to do the side-cast-clamour (giggle). Rather, watching [genin-san] "splendid, do the side-cast-clamour all along!", Nikaido might by himself be thinking that I kept an eye on him (giggle). But I reviewed [the show] with an "it's OK, it's OK" atmosphere.
--- We have information from Fujigaya Taisuke and Nikaido about the shining combination of Ueda and Sakurai, and the Zeus-Pon [new game of dropping an iron ball of 6cm diameter from 10m high to a hole of 9cm diameter while the stage of challenger can be adjusted by team member who is on the ground; Fujigaya-san and Ueda-san were the challengers while Sakurai-san controlled the stages they were on] being high point.
Sakurai: Indeed it's the high point!
--- They two asked Ueda if it was the strategy or wild intuition.
Ueda: Both. I have 100% trust in Sho-kun's consideration.
Sakurai: When I knew about Ueda's strategy, I relied on him from the deepest of my heart (giggle).
Ueda: Yes. So, after that it would be adjustment [for the game] of my own. Then, at the last moment I went on with my intuition without thinking about unnecessary things.
Sakurai: My heart throbbed~ (giggle). After that the high point of Zeus-Pon is Ueda in glasses. [Him in] glasses is moe [cute].
Ueda: My eye-sight is bad (giggle), in order to win I wore my glasses!
--- Who among the new members are gaining your attention?
Ueda: There was passionate guy joining.
Sakurai: Passionate guy (アツいヤツ) and dangerous guy (ヤバイヤツ)!
Ueda: Eh, who is dangerous guy?
Sakurai: Tsukada (Ryoichi)! (Giggle) Tsukada-chan has an aura of wonder.
Ueda: Only a fine line between them (giggle). My attention was also attracted by Tsukada, then Fujigaya. During the Zeus-Pon. Fujigaya, Tsukada, and Massu~ (Masuda Takahisa) were waiting for me, and welcomed me with high-touch and hug. I barely had any communication with Fujigaya until then, I didn't know he was so passionate about [winning] the game. He is a good guy... I liked him (giggle).
Sakurai: This is good (giggle).
--- Going beyond the fences of group, Johnny's Team, united in one [group], had maximum passion. How will the 3rd round of battle be?
※ Johnny's friend-making - Sakurai
After the filming, I received message from Fujigaya about "let's go to dine". Ah, yes. He said "Please call me Taisuke from now on" (giggle). Sorry I've just called him Fujigaya (giggle). Taisuke called me, I think~ we'll go dining together (giggle).
