shorilicious: Sexy Zone 5th anniversary special: A message to the members 松島聡Dear Shori:Even though we are only one year apart, I’ve seen the mature and cool Shori as my own rival at first. You didn’t talk a lot as well and I didn’t know what you were thinking, so I’ve been really annoyed (laughing). However, when I was suffering you told me „It’s too much to embrace this alone. First of all, find a person you can trust in“. I didn’t have anyone I could trust, so you saved me. Now you are the person I trust in the most. Dear Kenty:I feel cured just by being together with Kenty, he has a mama presence (laughing). To be honest about my early stages, you took care of me well ever since I was a junior. I am from Shizuoka so when I went to work, you were always worried and accompanied me back to Tokyo station. You were the first person in Johnny’s who made me feel comfortable being myself. Nowadays I am busy and cannot meet up that much but we promised to go to Korea together. Dear Fuma-kun:Fuma-kun was a person who quickly figured out my natural character. In variety shows you always help me out. Even when me and Mari had a hard time during a concert, you supported us and you continued mentioning our names, for that I am really thankful. Thanks to Fuma-kun speaking up during that time we had the courage to say the words that we wanted to say. You’re the best big brother! Dear Mari:In the past you were a crybaby but in those five years you became stronger mentally. During the time that I felt pressured I said something like „I have to work harder or I won’t be able to catch up with the three other people in our group“ and Marius replied „It’s okay as long as Sou-chan is being just Sou-chan“, even until now I still didn’t forget that. My heart felt lighter with those words. Me and Mari have always been partners. Even if we fight sometimes (laughing), I would like us to continue growing together. 佐藤勝利 Dear Kento-kun:Recently I am grateful for Kento-kun’s great efforts again. You appeared by yourself in various tv programmes, showing your best, and spreading our group’s name while maintaining your unique loveholic speech. When it comes to my own abilities during a concert, I definitely cannot reach Kento-kun’s level (laughing). That’s why I want to thank you for taking the initiative and presenting the role of someone who is attracting other people and taking care of us. Dear Fuma-kun:Until now the two of us have talked several times with each other. About my favourite times at work or things about the group. I feel like Fuma-kun is always thinking about Sexy Zone first and you are a person who can make important decisions quickly and accurately. Because you’re quick-thinking, when we have a meeting and Fuma-kun is there, I think that our talks go by quickly and efficiently. I’m saved! Dear Marius:It looks like Marius’ opportunities in the future will increase and I appreciate that. I would like to work overseas as well, so during that time, I will depend on Marius’ language skills. I would also like you to establish a diplomatic position in the group. Personally, we both like Broadway, so I would like to do something like that with you. A sexy production like „Chicago“ (t/n: the musical) would be interesting! Dear Sou:When you were troubled with work, I told you „Find a person you can trust in“. In reality, I wanted to tell you „trust in me“ but I was embarrassed. Without thinking positively you can’t go forward and show us your true strength. I told you each one of us has to present the „significance of five people“ and improve, so thank you for trusting in my words. 中島健人 Dear Shori:Shori has become tough in the past five year. Especially „Johnny’s World“ must have been a huge experience for you. During that time our density has been really strong so when I caught a cold, Shori was working even harder and kindly left me in silence. I have also seen many painful sides of Shori but we have been able to get over extreme situations because it was the two of us together. I really appreciate that! Dear Kikuchi:Kikuchi and me are representing the „destined pairing“ but I am honestly happy about any loving words. We also had a gloomy period of being rivals but I came to realise that if there is no opponent who works hard, my engine won’t start, so I was happy that Kikuchi was my opponent. Actually the hot part about Kikuchi is his respect for others. This year you came to my solo concert and for the first time I truly felt your love. Dear Marius:From a small angel you became a big angel in the past five years. Honestly, I hated the weak Marius from the past, the way you were going this way and that at work, I felt itchy and thought that you should be more serious about what you are doing. But doing it your own way, you can now properly declare your intentions. You have really grown. That picture that we have taken together on a Ferris wheel about two years ago, I still have that!Dear Macchan:Macchan always makes everyone’s mood lighten up and makes the whole group feel relaxed. I have been saved by you many times because if you weren’t here Sexy Zone might have fallen apart. To me you’re like a marshmallow♡ (laughing). Also because of the past five years, you are able to tell your own opinion. Now you can talk about work, you can discuss with others and you’re a reliable person. 菊池風磨 Dear Shori:Shori is the middle of our group when it comes to age, he’s like a bridge between me and Nakajima, and also Matsushima and Marius. Between me and Nakajima I think there have been things that you were struggling with or that were bothering you. I feel like you often had to just follow us along. From now on, without creating any strange atmosphere, I want you to have a natural stance. You don’t have to feel like you are stuck in the middle. Dear Nakajima:Nakajima is someone who has always stayed with me through happy and sad times ever since we were little. Somehow we understand each other’s feelings and you saved me there. Even when we don’t speak, somehow our performances match each other. But in the future if we discuss more, we could be able to do even better things and I feel like as a group we could go in a good direction. Dear Marius:Marius has always been a caring child. When I’m looking around at my surroundings he’s already reading the situation. Well that’s okay as long as he gets it right (laughing), I feel like he’s everyone’s younger sister who’s trying to make the best out of a situation. In the past I used to tease him often and make him cry, but lately he doesn’t cry at all~ From now on, I think I would like to make English songs with Sexy Zone so I want Marius to sing a lot in them. Dear Matsushima:Matsushima is shy about his dancing even though he works hard with all his might. However, maybe you need a little bit more power in your shoulders. In this world, there are times when efforts aren’t rewarded, right? At such times, Matsushima is easily damaged. I think everyone should support Matsushima’s earnest side because it even motivates me. Because you have those strengths don’t give your enthusiastic self up. マリウス葉 Dear Shori-kun:Shori-kun’s face is so tiny and pretty… I’ll feel a little ashamed when I stand next to you (laughing). When it comes to working with you together, there haven’t been that many opportunities in the past. Now that we are slowly becoming adults, I feel more a sense of distance between us. Shori-kun has grown so much in the past five years and you also became good at writing song lyrics. I wish I could write something together with you one day. Dear Kento-kun:You are like my older brother who teaches me dancing since a long time ago and who helps me when I make mistakes in Japanese. I think I was able to grow just by being by your side. Because I was always able to tell Kento-kun my true intentions, my image about you didn’t change. That is something I really admire about you. That Kento-kun, if there is something that makes you worry in the future, I would like you to come and talk to me about it. Dear Fuma-kun:You have always been my favourite older brother but after having co-acted with you in „Dream Boys“, I like you even more than before! Because the relationship of our roles was also close, I felt more and more attracted to you (laughing). Fuma-kun has been a cool adult since a long time ago already but he thinks about the group and his members more than anyone else. I am happy that you are taking care of Sou-chan and me so kindly. Dear Sou-chan:Sou-chan is naturally a bright person and the power source for the rest of the members. Although I have been with you from a young age, not until „Summer Paradise 2016“ I have discussed our close relationship with you. But after seriously talking about how to convey our good qualities on stage with you, I think our relationship has changed. By the way, I like Sou-chan’s brown hair (laughing). Keep in mind I am not a native speaker therefore there might be mistakes in my translations. Also I’m not exactly translating word for word. Feel free to correct me in my ask box any time you want, I’d appreciate it! I apologize if someone already translated something before me and I didn’t notice, I hope you don’t mind.
