Top 3 moments when Takuya felt the members love from Rangking Box
(https://rankingbox.jp/article/45816)
3. The moment when I talk to Kouichi
Privately, I talk about jobs mostly with Kouichi. (To Takashi) Sorry, sometimes
of course with Takashi too! When Im worrying about something, I will call Kouichi.
When I hear he says have you eaten? naturally, I feel happy. It has been a long time
since I joined Choutokkyuu. That time, I wouldnt talk to the other members but
Kouichi. We talked all night till morning. It refreshed me just by hearing his stories,
and I really depend on him.
2. Kobe Collection 2016 A/W
Because of my personal job, I couldnt attend the rehearsal for this. Either when I
was there or not, everyone thought about the set list and staging. This summer, I
participated in so many events, but the stages are different too. Because of that, I got
confused of the staging when we performed. But, everyone followed me and finally I
managed to get rid of my confusion.
1. The time when I joined Choutokkyuu
As expected, this is number one. Everyone accepted me even though I didnt
know anything. Besides that, I was in the same school as Kai, so he taught the things I
cant catch up in rehearsals at school. After school, he taught me in a classroom. I was
confused whether to join the group or not, there was a lot of anxiety, but it naturally
gone. Besides Kouichi and Takashi, I already knew the others, but I couldnt get along
very well. I remember that we did a lot of things and had fun together now.
Dramatic Seven Solo Interview: Beasty Spider from Natalie Music
(http://natalie.mu/music/pp/bullettrain11/page/4)
~Liner notes~
The theme of the song is looting love. It suits Yuuki just like his other centre song so far. It is
a cool dance song. The song needs more dance than before, so I cant wait to perform it.
Kai
~Interview with Yuuki~
A song that suits me deep in my heart
What did you think when you heard Beasty Spider for the first time?
I thought it is a really cool song.
What is your perspective to the song as your motive song?
The theme of the song is looting love, but I have never done anything like that beforeit
is selfish. Actually, this song is really not me. But when I imagined myself dancing to the
song, it was perfect. So what is it? I think it is a song that suits me deep inside my heart.
I feel like it expresses my core.
When you dance to this song, do you feel the strong emotion that is expressed by this
song rises?
Yes. When I dance to it, I feel that the emotion is so intense.
The dance beat is strong. About this song becomes Yuukis motive song, besides the
content of the song, it will be shown in the dance, right?
Yes. That is what I think. I want to engage in the choreography too, and raise the overall
dance level as a group. I want to do a song that shows the dance.
We are currently doing our best
Even though we talk like this, Yuuki feels a strong ambition to dance. We often see him
dances at the break time between interviews and shootings.
I want to be a dancer who is respected. As Choutokkyuu Yuuki, I also think I want to
satisfy everyone with my dance. I dont want to complaint. I have to do a lot of things
and I dont think there is anything I cant do.
When dancing, is there any time when you want to complaint?
It is the time when I fall down. But as Im healed, it is my shining moment and the
possibilities to become stronger opens. I dont want to stop dancing in the future, so I can
keep moving on. I feel like supporting myself in the future, like I have to do more!
So, it is like that.
Im still not enough. I have to do a lot of thing currently. Because of that thought, I
started to write notes about what I should do and clear it one by one.
Yuuki, dont put too many things on one side of the table.
I do it because a lot of people work harder than me. There are a lot of amazing people and
to compare myself with themyes, I want to reach that amazing level soon. I want to
see the same scenery as the dancers that I respect as soon as possible.
 So, what do you think about Choutokkyuus performance?
Compared to the past, I think the skills are getting higher and higher. The lead song for
this album, Seventh Heaven, is something that we have to do a cool dance and switch
to weird faces, the expression is necessary. Right, Choutokkyuus performance speciality
is the expressions. No matter how good you dance, different expressions will make the
performance changes. So, it is important.
So it is like that.
We are currently doing our best. I, too, will do my best for years forward. Afterwards, I
want to recognize Choutokkyuus dance style more and I think we can be a group that
can do other dance genres. Even though expression is the most important thing for
Choutokkyuuwe want to try unusual dance style soon. I will be glad if there are people
who are inspired by Choutokkyuu.

Dramatic Seven Solo Interview: LIBIDO from Natalie Music
(http://natalie.mu/music/pp/bullettrain11/page/3)
~Liner notes~
The theme of the song is secret love. It shows the view of the world for the mysterious Kai.
Kais sin is lust, just like the title of the song. It is quiet aggressive for Choutokkyuu. Kais
ero side is overflowing in this song. The first part of the song is mostly adlib. Kai cleared the
recording long adlib in the middle of the song just in two takes. He said that the good side of
Asmodeus is purity so he talked about something like that, but I dont really understand
about it (^o^). Ryouga
~Interview with Kai~
It feels like for real!? right?
Kais motive song LIBIDO has a taste of Showa period song.
It feels like for real!? right? I was surprised. It is simple and funny.
In the lyrics, a delusion towards the opposite sex of a man who wants to be a riajuu is
mentioned.
It seemed like that. But the point is there is no direct expression of it. It is a song about a
guy who doesnt get satisfied, just making delusions in his head. Isnt it the content of
most songs in our generation? Even though it is a Showa-period song style, the lyrics are
modern, so I think every generation will like it.
At the beginning of a song, there is a story of the members, right?
At that part, the other 6 were recording, except me. I just listened to them, but it was
really fun. Ryougas last part was fixed, but the rest are just an adlib.
Did Yuuki chew up his words?
It is a stupid thing. I think this song is interesting if you listen directly to the source.
It is a different song in the album, but do you think the listeners reckon this song is
suitable for you?
Totally! Because my other centre songs are cool songs like Star Gear or sexy songs like
We Can Do It!, but our music director said In this song, since Kai can do such a
thing, please show me a wide swinging. Thats why the dance is going to be funnier
than ever.
By the way, what kind of love is this song about?
Secret love.
Kai doesnt have secret image a lot.
I also thought like that.
Inside the song, it expressed Secret love, which is different with the reality.
Thats right. Currently, Kouichi has analysed my good sides. He said, Kai has high
sense and also cool, but sometimes when he shows his smile, he is so cute. And then I
think LIBIDO is a song that often shows cuteness so it is suitable for Kai. Something
like that. Maybe the vocals think like that because the song expresses such feeling.
It is not good if Im not there
According to what Kouichi said, Kai has strong fascinating sense when standing on the
stage. Why is it?
I do it on my own, though. Why is itbecause Im a fan of various people? There is a
pride to know something like Im a fan, so Im happy if my favourite artists are like this
better than other members. Because of it, I may have high sense when standing on the
stage. By watching their lives, I learned many expressions from my favourite artist.
When expressing something, what thing that makes the audience rejoiced?
Oh, right. Probably, Choutokkyuus system is good. In Choutokkyuu, we dont use our
real name, but we use katakana of our name, so I think I switched with my normal self.
Since elementary school, my close friends kept telling me that I was totally different
when I was on stage.
So it is like that.
When talking like this, this is my normal self. But when I perform on stage, I will switch
myself.
That Choutokkyuu Kai, what is his role in the group?
UmmIt is not good if Im not there.
What do you mean?
Im the balancer of Choutokkyuu. I think I give a sense of security and stability in many
situations. For example, when there is an announcement, I think the 8gousha will feel
something like it is safe if Kai is the one who says it.
