Hiroto: I honestly thought Okiura-san was a demon for the photoshoot this time! (laugh) Snow was falling and even though it was seriously, seriously cold, our outfits… if you look at them, you’ll understand—they were really light. My shoulders were exposed, Saga-kun was wearing one shirt, and Nao-san’s clothes were made of fine material too.

Nao: Not to mention, the distance between the parking lot and the photoshoot location was really far. So we were walking endlessly through the snow.

Tora: My cheeks, for some reason, turned red as apples, and so I look like a kid from the countryside (laugh)

Show: Saga-kun, though, looks like he just graduated from Takarazuka (laugh)

Saga: Yeah, I thought, “even in these harsh circumstances, I look good—I’m amazing” (laugh)

Plus, there’s a mirror ball at Shou-kun’s feet.

Show: The outfits were for ERASER but we couldn’t forget about the mirror ball.

For these white outfits, you each included one item that is a different colour.

Show: Saga-kun’s the only one whose outfit kinda makes you think of a vegetable (laugh)

Saga: I have a question for myself… Why did I choose green, I wonder?

Does the green colour have any meaning attached to it?

Saga: I wasn’t really thinking about anything in particular when I chose it…

Show: I happened to be watching from behind when Saga-kun was choosing green. I was thinking, Saga-kun is going to jump into this implication by himself, but I avoided pointing it out (laugh)

Saga: Man, an hour after I picked green, I completely regretted it (laugh).

NOTES:
oo1. Takarazuka is a famous all-female acting troupe.
oo2. In the early years, Saga was frequently compared to aokubi daikon because of his long nose, which is why his impulsive decision to pick green seems to have caused him some exasperation. Just to clear up any possible confusion in that last line of Show’s, what he meant is that, he made the green/vegetable connection right away, but didn’t warn Saga on purpose. Never pass up good joke material when it lands in your lap!
