Their spring talk ** PART 2
In this two-shot gravure project, their level of friendship surely is the strongest!
The representative of the young coordinator Nana-san & the fast-growing member Megu-chan.
Visually, these two are the best matching with both sharp and slender orthodox beautiful girl. Their put a stop to in this interview is perfect too!!
※ The gravure that you two have been wishing for has finally realized.
—
During the photoshoot, you had a lot of scenes like hugging each other and staring at each other, did you two have any difficulty in doing all of them?
Nana: We have nothing to be embarrassed at all. This is what we do all the time, like we’re always like this (lol)
Megu: Because this is how we interact.
— Really?…… (sweating)
Nana: Moreover, this is the gravure that we’ve been wanting to do!! We’ve always said that we wanted to do a gravure and been waiting for it to come true, so it’s really an honor! I’m too happy.
Megu: Our wish really came true (clapping). Many seniors told me that if there’s anything that I want to do, just say it. It’s important to make an appeal. That’s why, I’m glad to have been saying that I want Naamegu to do a gravure together on 755.
Nana: The photoshoot was also very fun ♡ I have only ever done the gravure alone or together with Mako and Miki, so this is probably the first time I had a gravure photoshoot as a pair. Moreover it’s with a junior, it’s new and very fun. Right?
Megu: Right ♡ I had a photoshoot with Miion and Sayaya before this one….
Nana: Eh? Miion and Sayaya are oppai-chan, right!?
Megu: That’s right! Moreover, even though we have not much difference in height, but I’m the only one who lost in size. Both of them are oppai-chan, that made me feel secluded. But, today, thank God I didn’t need to worry about that!
— Isn’t that kind of rude to Okada-san….. (Awkward smile)
Megu: I’m very happy that Naachan is the first senior who I had a gravure with!
Nana: I’m glad. I could be your first one ♡
— Well, I get that “NaaMegu"s friendship is more than just a rumor, but, what made you two become this close?
Megu: I saw Nana-san wrote, "My oshimen is Taniguchi Megu” on her G+!
Nana: During a Request Hour, Megu had a twin tail and she was so cute ♡ I thought to myself, “Such a cute kid does exist?”, then I took a picture with her. It started from there.
Megu: We actually have been together even before that, during [AKB49]’s stage play, but we never had a conversation nor shared a single word. However, when I saw her posted that on G+, I was thinking that maybe we will be friends if I start the conversation and so I was like, “Nana-sa~n!” (lol)
— Did you just abruptly approach her like that?
Megu: Ah, it progressed little by little which started from “Nana-san, good morning” at first (lol). We became really close because of Tahara stage performance.
Nana: We’re together a lot throughout the day during the lesson, even during the performance.
Megu: Our positions were close to each other.
Nana: We quickly became closer from there. Like we kept talking during the lesson.
— What kind of talk did you have?
Megu: ……Eh? What were we talking about..(sweating)?
Nana: We just talked about the usual silly things (lol)
Megu: Ah, something like confirming the song’s choreography, they’re work related. And after that, we talked about wanting to go have a meal together!
— That’s great. Please tell us a memory that you can remember (lol).
Nana: I think it was when our relationship deepened that I invited her for a meal together and to a movie. Well, we went to see a movie together, right? ♡
Megu: Yes! It’s Galaxy Kaido. It’s just the two of us who went to see the movie.
— So, it’s a date, right?
NaaMegu: It was! It’s our first date!
Megu: We ate more than half of the caramel popcorn. It was delicious ♡
Nana: How nostalgic~
— Even though I think you two look more like a companion for life than good friends, but, is there any part of each other that make you think anew “This part of her is great!”?
Nana: Megu is slender, slim and really good-looking. She has a nice body for gravure.
Megu: Eeeeeh? I’m not (sweating).
Nana: And add her serious personality. Watching her figure working hard in the lesson, if I were a boy, I certainly want to make her my girlfriend!
Megu: Eeeeeeeh?!
— That’s a high praise, eh? Well then, what about Taniguchi Megu-san?
Megu: In those days when I was still a fan, I saw the project of ‘How serious Nana-san is’ in AKBINGO! and Nana-san seemed to be an extremely serious person.
— Speaking of which, at the end of last year, I heard a rumor said that because there were a lot of days off, Nana-san suggested to the members, “All of the young members, let’s clean up the theater!” which surprised everyone.
Megu: She did~
Nana: At that time, when our days off increased, I thought that we shouldn’t slack off. I said, “Let’s clean the theater since we have the opportunity to”. So, even though it’s a day off, no one played around.
Megu: (I like) that side of her too, she gave the junior a good scolding. There were few seniors who unexpectedly come too. Even though commonly it’s hard to say such things, but she’s amazing to be able to be strict against the bad things.
Nana: I’m not the athletic type, but I’m passionate. Like following the rules in the theater, not putting the clothes on the floor, I have to be strict in those sort of things.
— I remember the 14th gen’s rules like “No chatting in the bus” and “Not allowed to gossip” that Nana-san created.
Nana: I overdid that (lol)
Megu: As expected, she’s amazing….. And then, it’s her visual……
Nana: Visual? Really? You like my visual?
Megu: Yes! You have a perfect face and symmetrical eyes size. Furthermore, you looks like a doll with the delicate fair skin.
Nana: How detailed. Or rather, it is like a backhanded compliment (lol).
Megu: Ah, I bought the UTB where you appeared on another occasion. Nana-san was really too beautiful. At first I thought, “Who is this beautiful person?”. Then I found out it’s Nana-san. You’re always beautiful, but I still find you extremely beautiful.
Nana: I’m so happy ♡ Thank you. For buying it.
— No no, that’s our line (lol)
Nana: I also bought them. All of the magazines that have Megu’s gravure at the convenience store in the station. Megu’s body looks more mature recently, right?…. By saying that, my perversion just showed a little, eh? (lol)
— Eh? Okada-san, are you a pervert?
Nana: I’m a pervert (lol). No, I think that all the human are a pervert. While for me, I just happened to openly show it. I really love to see the face or the body part of cute girls like the members. Like Megu’s firm yet delicate butts, they are really great ♡
Megu: I have big butts. They stretch my pelvis.
Nana: You have an easy to give birth figure. That’s wonderful!
Megu: I see! That means I will be able to give birth easily then….. Eh? What we are really talking about? (lol)
— We were talking about your favorite part of Okada-san before we got sidetracked and now we’re talking about Okada-san’s level of perversion, right? (lol)
Megu: That’s it! When you become friends with her, she, in fact, would openly in a rough kind of manner show you her pervert side. She’s not a serious person, she is a pervert (lol), but I think it’s great in a good way that she also has such a not serious side.
Nana: Hahaha
— Is Taniguchi-sana a pervert?
Megu: In junior high school, because I attended the all-girls school, you would be called pervert if you ranked first in the exercise class or when you flipped skirts with everyone (lol)
Nana: Sounds like how junior high school kids are (lol)
Megu: Well, that habit from the all-girls school was brought during the audition period. I would flip skirts and shouted, “Eeeei”.
Nana: You did that!?
Megu: Moreover, I touched their butts too. And then I would stop and apologize.
Nana: But, from there you understand, right? That something like this is not a common thing (to do) in AKB.
Megu: Yes. I learned from there.
Nana: When she debuted, she was really a normal good kid who never did those things.
Megu: I’ve sealed those activities (lol)
— So, in other words, both of you are a pervert.
※ After the gravure, (they’re wishing for) an overnight stay on location where they stay in the same bedroom.
— Now that your dream for a gravure has realized, is there anything like this that you two want to do next time?
Nana: Next target is location filming!
Megu: Right? An overnight stay on location is great. We’re asking to have a location filming for a date in Disneyland for 2 days and 1 night, but it’s not yet granted. I wonder will it not come true soon?
Nana: Go to the tourist spots’ onsen is great too.
Megu: I want to go there too!
Nana: From morning until night, we film until we go to bed, okay?
— You two are going to sleep separately, right?
NaaMegu: Together!
Megu: I really don’t like sleep alone.
Nana: It’s really scary, right? I also don’t dare to get into a haunted house.
Megu: That is impossible for me! At home, I always sleep with my grandma and if my grandma isn’t there then I’ll sleep with my mom.
Nana: Even if I can sleep on my own and don’t mind to get into a haunted house, but well, having a same room (with Megu) will might be more splendid! Or rather, so I can see it better, her gap. That point of her is so cute too ♡
Megu: I’m usually just pretending of having everything under control. I’m drawing the courtain.
— So, you don’t show that side of you to other people, do you?
Megu: I only show them to Nana-san and the members whom I’m close with.
Nana: Megu should show more of her various sides to everyone.
— But, if she does that she will no longer be the “Megu-chan who is only for me” then?
Nana: Even though I want her to conceal them and keep her to myself, but, with her showing those new side of her, I want more people to fall in love with this kid. So, without regretting it, without being jealous, you show them all, okay?
Megu: I will!
— Nice advise! As senior and Junior, comrades who do their best together and best friends. You two have many kinds of relationships, don’t you? If you’re going to talk to the other party as a boy, what will you say to her?
Nana: I’ve said it too a little while ago that if I were a boy, I definitely want to make Megu my girlfriend! Megu doesn’t like narcissistic, so I probably shouldn’t say something like, “Go out with me”……
Megu: You know me so well (lol)
Nana: So, I’ll start with casually become friends, then narrowing the distance little by little when we became close friends, I want to build a relationship like that ♡ Megu, how will you talk to me?
Megu: Nana-san likes serious juniors, so I think she will go out with a serious person too…..And so to avoid it’s being too serious, I will just go straight to the point with her.
Nana: Like directly tell your honest feeling, right?
Megu: Right! That’s why, I’d say something like, “I like Nana-san. I’d like to go out with you. We can start from being friends then we can gradually move from there. Would you like that?”……
Nana: That’s a nice one, splendid!
Megu: Hehehe
— At first, I enjoy watching your relationship, but then somehow it felt like I’ve invaded something without permission (wry smile). So, please you two keep getting along well in the future.
NaaMegu: Certainly!
