The love that I have for the things I hate
Interviewing Satoshi Ohno
What he thinks of himself:
No ability to concentrate. I am studying myself every moment. Recently I devoted myself by going to the gym. This is not something that I could do a while ago.
What Aiba thinks of him:
I called Ohno on his birthday, so I was expecting a call from him on my birthday. It would be sometimes just about 12 P.M. or a min or two after 12, it could also be at 11:59 P.M. and if that's the case he would say, "You are still 17, and then slowly you become 18". But on that day he didn't call me, instead, on the next day, he gave me a present - a portrait of me that I very much cherished.
What Nino thinks of him:
Recently I am always late, it is something that I am helpless at doing.
Ohno on the other hand is always on time. I really admire him. He is a good leader. He has also created some songs on his free time. He showed us his work... he seemed to have a lot of fun doing them. About Ohno's personality... I haven’t yet figure it out... even though we have been together for more than a year, there are still things that I don't know about him
What Sho thinks of him:
He has high expectations for himself. To me, his dancing and singing skill are already very good, but he would never think that he is a fine performer. Recently, Ohno is behaving ....how should I say this... when we are discussing what to do with our live performances, Ohno would be very quiet. But when he finally speaks, he askes "When can we eat?"
What Jun thinks of him:
Ohno is really different. He doesn't say much and even if he does say something it would be really short like "alright" or "no". Sometimes he seems to be quite troublesome. But I like his voice. He sings well and I like his talking voice as well. I hope I can be as good of a singer as him.
