The love that I have for the things I hate
Interviewing Kazunari Ninomiya
What he thinks of himself:
I wouldn't be annoyed of doing the same thing everyday. Recently, I spend three hours playing guitar. My work and interest is the same thing. Having the heart to do things is really important.
What Jun thinks of him:
He looks like a dog (laugh). He has good personality and can get along
with people easily. He is a good actor and he is a good sportsman.
It seems that no matter what he does, he would do a good job. He doesn't say much, but recently, we got along really well. I wonder why.
What Aiba thinks of him:
I knew Nino well even before we made our debut. He likes to takes things one step at the time, one thing at the time. When he writes songs, he does it as if he is playing a game. The same thing goes for singing. He will not quit until is felt satisfied. He seems to enjoy work as if they are his
hobbies. He sure doesn't waste any of his time!
What Sho thinks of him:
He remembers people's names really well. Even if he meets a person only for the first time, he would politely chat with him/her. I could easily remember
the faces of the people that I met, but when it comes to their names that’s another story! And there's another thing... previously when we watch Deep Impact together, he would sit on the sofa calmly... but in Gakibara he got teary while we watch the VTR ... is this the same Nino that I know?
What Ohno thinks of him:
Nino had influenced me in the way I see music. My attitude for music has changed when Nino jokingly modified my voice and put them in different songs.... this made me realized that making songs could be fun. Recently I also noticed that he likes to eat rice cakes. He seems to be addicted to them. I guess you didn't know that, did you?
