I just noticed…whenever Alice Nine has a photoshoot and when Nao is right next to Shou…why is Nao always so awkwardly close to him?  XD okay, not all the time but…

Don’t get me wrong. I find it cute actually //w//

• Shou: Hiroto bought an orange, Hawaiian massage stick at Niigata, but for some reason at the live it ended up seeming like Nao had bought it (laughs), so I took a picture of it from an angle that would guarantee that no matter what, it would only look suspicious and when it appeared on my blog, the fans were all surprised at the pure Nao.
• Hiroto: It doesn't matter what kind of thing you are imagining it to be, but in reality it's just a normal foot massager...
• Nao: Sure, sure, sure.

Hi. This is Alice Nine’s Nao, the guy who dresses up the least, no the guy who can’t dress up the most (cries). I’m the drummer. and just in case you didn’t know, the leader (laughs)

I have a younger brother 3 years apart from me. We don’t look the same at all. My brother is 180cm and above, and also with great looks. It seems that he’s often said to look similar to w-inds’ Keita-kun (laughs). Though i said that they’re just mistaken (laughs). My brother is still a student now, and recently we often talk and became closer, but previously we weren’t that close at all. We have completely different personalities and interests. From the past i liked music, but my brother was obsessed with shogi [some kind of chess] and all (laughs). Kind of plain right (laughs). Wait, this corner is supposed to be about me right? Why did i start talking about my brother anyway? (laughs) Alright, it’s time to start on my talk!

I’m Nao, born in Sendai, and before i was aware of anything, because of my parent’s job transfer, i moved to Tokyo, and many other times in the Kantou area, and then when i was in my 6th year in junior school i moved to Hokkaido, and spent my youth there. So i transferred schools many many times. Transferring school is definitely a lonely event. I stayed in one school for as short as half a year. And because transfer students being a curious thing, i was also bullied. When i transferred school to Hokkaidou i was bullied. Like how my indoor shoes were hidden and all. But i managed to overcome that. As expected that period of time i had to endure a lot of painful stuff but now those feelings have become a plus. Are you listening? Now i’m going to say something real good! ‘Do not ever think that getting bullied is a minus. Just knowing the pain is something that teaches you to be kind to people’. To relieve other people’s pain, first of all you have to know the meaning of pain yourself.

Even though i don’t look like it, i was actually in the student council. I didn’t particularly like studying and didn’t have many interests, so i think i was just plainly working hard. Eh? Since when did i start telling lame gags? (laughs) [Nao finally admits that his gags are lame] Maybe since high school? But everyone warmly listened to them (laughs)

Also, what you should do in your teens! Fall in love many times! Doesn’t have to be romantic love, just simply love. Well, romantic love’s fine too, but first of all, simple love. It’s okay if you don’t let out your feelings, you don’t have to tell the other person too. When you fall in love you’ll shine after polishing yourself. If you do that, you’ll be beautiful not only on the outside but also on the inside, something worth doing will occur everyday and then guys will be made to say, that girl really looks cute. I hope people in their teens will do their best to polish themselves. For the sake of your future too ne. For example, fall in love with Alice Nine or something! That is completely okay too! By all means!

Tora: So what exactly happened?!
Saga: Well, somewhere in Hiroshima, always in Hiroshima, the next day is a moving day (meaning they are going to travel to the next venue and all), and so i’ll drink alcohol and all at night. and once i got drunk, well I’m weak in drinking shochu (japanese wine…

• Shou: I don't drink alcohol, so it's difficult to imagine a New Year Party situation... Hmm... well, I guess it's necessary to have props. It's New Year, therefore let's fry mochi. When it's cooked, say "Ready". When she looks at you, write down your number or something (laugh).
• Nao: As for New Year Party. Kicking off the new year raises my spirit. Then, if you add alcohol to that, people are a bit different, and speak in english. So, I'd tell the person I'm interested in "Shall we dance?" (laugh). Well, even though I drink at home, while dancing together I'd say (in her ear) "I'll send you an email tonight" (laugh). American style, kind of. In order to invite someone to dance, I'll change my character.
