POPOLO 10.2012 NYC 3 POINTS
Part 1 Yama-chan’s Dancing 3 points
1. Change your expression according to the song
2. Imagine someone
3. Enjoy!My dancing style hasn’t changed very much, so I don’t think about it a lot, but I do try to change my facial expression according to the song. And like, imagine someone as in, “This song should be like Michael Jackson” and so on. But, in the end I think the most important thing about dancing is to enjoy it.
Part 2 Yuma’s Music Selection 3 points1. Change your expression according to the song
2. Imagine someone
3. Enjoy!My dancing style hasn’t changed very much, so I don’t think about it a lot, but I do try to change my facial expression according to the song. And like, imagine someone as in, “This song should be like Michael Jackson” and so on. But, in the end I think the most important thing about dancing is to enjoy it.
1. Listen to foreign music so your ears get used to English!
2. Don’t worry about how old the song is, it’s the music.
3. If someone tells you about a good song, listen to it.Does everyone know who Elvis Presley is? Yeah he’s old, but I like his voice. I’m not very knowledgeable about music, so I listen to music that people that we worked with, and that way you can listen to a variation of music of different styles and different times, and find good songs. I decide I like the music by looking at the melody and the singer’s voice.
Part 3 Chinen’s Bed Time 3 points
1. Make the room completely dark
2. Sleep facing the roof
3. Think of happy things and sleepI can’t sleep without the room completely dark with the lights out. When the lights are on, I can’t relax. And, whenever I really want to sleep, I sleep facing the roof. And when I want to just take a small nap I sleep head down on the pillow. I really LOVE sleeping, so when I’m getting to sleep, I get really excited
Part 4 Bath Time 3 points
Nakayama
1. Align the shampoo bottles
2. Rub hard with a towel when washing!
3. Always put in bath bombs and aroma powderI always put it in the order of conditioner, shampoo, conditioner, shampoo, body wash, and face wash. The reason why I have two sets of shampoo and conditioner is…that I accidentally bought too many. （笑）With bath bombs and aroma powder, I buy ones that smell nice when I go shopping, but I always end up using ones that warm your body and stuff. （笑）
Yamada
1. Shampoo twice
2. Face wash twice
3. Brush my teeth in the bathMy hair isn’t really good with the wax and gel and spray and stuff like that, so I always shampoo twice to make sure that’s all off. And then, I wash my face and brush my teeth while conditioner’s in my hair, and then I rinse it off…but then my face gets sticky again cause of the conditioner and I end up washing my face again. （笑）
Chinen
1. Wash my hair first
2. Sing in the bath
3. Get out of the bath asap when I’m tiredIf you wash your hair first, the filth will go down your body, right? So it’s most efficient to go hair->face->body. And the bathroom echoes and it’s fun listening to myself sing, so I sing like, rock and stuff. And then, if I’m tired, I get out of the shower asap and dash to my bed.
Part 5 Eating Out 3 points
Nakayama
1. Eat out with someone
2. Go to a place you like many times
3. Always eat fishThe only kind of eat out meal I can eat by myself is ramen. Otherwise I wanna eat with someone else. It’s more enjoyable that way. And places I go to I don’t decide with popularity, but I just pop in there and if I like it I go there a lot. And I always eat fish no matter what.
Yamada
1. Eat meals with volume
2. ALWAYS have salad
3. Go to a place with good atmosphere and waiters
Volume of the food is a must! If there’s only a little bit, I keep on ordering a lot… （笑）and I always have salad. I like Cesar salad the best. And the atmosphere and the waiters is important. It feels good to be served with a smile.
Chinen
1. Has to taste good
2. Mostly the same menu
3. Have soft drink with fatty foodObviously there’s no point going out to eat if it doesn’t taste good. And for me, depending on which place I go to, I always have the same menu. So, as long as there isn’t something wrong with it, I don’t usually order something different. And I’ve decided that whenever I’m eating fatty things like Asian barbecue, I’ll order soft drinks as well.
Part 6 Choice of Clothes 3 Points
Nakayama
1. Don’t try them on!
2. Always buy tops and bottoms at the same shop
3. Don’t worry about shoes. （笑）
I don’t like trying on clothes. And I can’t be bothered to think about what to wear it with so I buy tops and bottoms at the same shop. I buy clothes at first sight so I shop fast! And shoes… well I have a few pairs so at least one should fit. （笑）I wear around boots a lot.
Yamada
1. Choose a simple design
2. Consider price
3. Consider sizeI usually choose simple designs so it’s easier to wear it with something else. And I consider price important as well. If it’s something I really wanted and it’s a little expensive, I’ll buy it but I’d be thinking about it for aages（笑）!! And the size. If I just take a look at it I can tell whether it’ll fit my body or not so I don’t usually try things on though.
Chinen
1. Feel of material
2. Design
3. Don’t worry about prices that muchI’m pretty sensitive about material, so I can’t really wear clothes that feel a little spiky. I usually wear black and white with a simple design, but it also seems good to consider the season and wear like, aloha shirts in summer. Even if it’s a little expensive, I’ll take care of it more so I think it doesn’t matter.
Part 7 What I want to do with my lover 3 Points
Nakayama
1. Stop the car at the bridge and view night lights
2. Cook and go “Ah~n” and feed them.
3. Go cycling!For Osaka people, the Rainbow Bridge is like, really admirable. And I’m sure…even if you’re not from Osaka, you like night lights, right!? And then, we’ll both cook in the kitchen and I’ll go, “Ah~n” and feed her. （笑）Doesn’t going cycling sound nice? It’ll be different to going cycling with my friends, but it’ll still be fun!
Yamada
1. Do as much as I can for her!
2. Remember anniversaries
3. Don’t lie.I want to do as much as I can for the girl I like. I want to see her being happy, so I think I’ll do a lot on anniversaries. And, I won’t lie!!! Even if it’s for their good, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m lying, so I don’t want to lie.
Chinen
1. Treat her like a princess
2. See her heaps!
3. Go out with her heaps!Like, skin ship. I’ll pat her head and stuff. （笑）And whenever she says she wants to see me, I’ll go to her. And my happiness will be her laughter, so I’ll make her laugh with my impressive jokes!

Yamada

I…don’t feel I should decide these. I just don’t want them to feel constricted and be free! Cause, it’s best to for people to stay with who they like, right? Of course, it’ll be great if they can like us forever, and I’ll try hard too!
