Q: If you were to attend a celebratory party with your teammates, how would you like to dress?
If it's a formal affair, then I'd definitely wear a suit. There's this suit I wore a while ago that Anne prepared for me; it's got a flame pattern on the sleeves, and it looked really cool, so I'd like the chance to wear it again.
Q: What Christmas present would you give to your team members?
If I were going to give a gift, it'd probably be a record, but Hajun once said to me, "the best gift you could possibly give is if you could just keep the house clean". (laughs) So, maybe cleaning would be a better gift.
Q: What's something that's happened recently with your team?
While I was taking a break from writing songs and chilling in the living room, Anne's pet Java sparrow -- Tamago -- escaped from his cage and came flying into the living room. So I let him sit on my hand and he fell sleep there. It was really soothing! (laughs)
Saimon Naoakira
Q: If you were to attend a celebratory party with your teammates, how would you like to dress?
I think we'd be the type to wear authentic suits without trying too hard to be too eccentric. Of course, Ryu likes very unique clothes, so I would like to let him wear whatever he wants to wear.
Q: What Christmas present would you give to your team members?
It would of course be nice to give a gift to each person individually, but I think it also might be nice to make wine that we would all be able to enjoy together at a major milestone year, like in five or ten years from now. It's a very precious experience to sip on a wine while reflecting back on the year you made it and all the journeys you have had between then and that point.
Q: What's something that's happened recently with your team?
The other day, I had the opportunity to drink together with Yohei after Bar 4/7's closing time, but he ended up falling asleep halfway through the night. I put a blanket over him to keep him from catching a cold, and our cat, Kurobuchi, ended up jumping up onto his lap. It was a heartwarming sight to see the two of them curled up together and sleeping.
Yatonokami Kanata
Q: If you were to attend a celebratory party with your teammates, how would you like to dress?
I don't want to go a party full of people I don't know in the first place.
Q: What Christmas present would you give to your team members?
I'll buy Nayuta anything he wants. But he just always says "as long as I get to spend time with you, Kanata, then I don't need anything else". Oh. But I also have to buy him a metal bat to help me hunt Santa.
Q: What's something that's happened recently with your team?
I had a really shitty day but Nayuta was waiting for me at home with food ready.
Suiseki Iori
Q: If you were to attend a celebratory party with your teammates, how would you like to dress?
Well, if it's gonna be a party, then we gotta dress in a way that demands attention! We'll pull up in a white limousine, blasting our music so loud you can't hear anything else! If we don't come rollin' up with so much glitz and glam that you make a red carpet look black and white in comparison, we'll be undermining our reputation as the men at the center of the festival!
Q: What Christmas present would you give to your team members?
It's all well and good to give stuff for gifts, but I think it'd be fun to go on a hot springs trip with everyone. We can take a nice bath together as a family, eat dinner, really raise some hell, and then sleep soundly! I can't think of a happier way to spend some time!
Q: What's something that's happened recently with your team?
The other day, I was accompanying Zen on a shopping trip, and the man at the greengrocer came all the way out to give us his thanks; he said that Satsuki, Reo, and Hokusai had helped him out in a big way by helping him carry some bags. It gave me a real warm and fuzzy feeling, thinking about how they're growing up to be such good young men!
Yamato Shogo
Q: If you were to attend a celebratory party with your teammates, how would you like to dress?
If I were to go to a party, I'd want to dress up for it! If it were at all possible, I'd like to attend while holding a Stella Live, too. Even if it's only on the other side of a screen, I'd really hope that all of our Stellas could enjoy the party, too.
Q: What Christmas present would you give to your team members?
I think I'd like to give everyone a set of the most delicious gummies I had throughout the year, including some of the more challenging and interesting flavors! I want everyone to be able to experience and share in the best of what I've experienced!
Q: What's something that's happened recently with your team?
The other day, after we finished a Stella Live stream, I forgot to actually hit the Stop Broadcast button. So, everyone ended up hearing our debriefing, but all of the Stellas there still said "you guys are the best!". So, to all the Stellas reading this, I love you!
Yeon Dongha
Q: If you were to attend a celebratory party with your teammates, how would you like to dress?
If you are celebrating someone, then you should dress appropriately for your relationship with that person. It is more important to focus on what you should wear, not what you want to wear. In any case, I would dress in my finest clothes so as not to besmirch my name as the heir of the Yeon family.
Q: What Christmas present would you give to your team members?
A gift for Chungsung? He takes enough pleasure in serving me, so there is no need for me to give him anything in particular. If there is anything he wants, I will arrange for it regardless of what it may be.
Q: What's something that's happened recently with your team?
[Provided by Baek Chungsung]
This is the butler, Baek Chungsung, speaking. The other day, Ando Shiki-sama from TCW sent us a video of Kurobuchi Deluxe playing with the toys that Bocchama had sent to them. When Dongha-sama saw this, he seemed to be very pleased.
Miyama Kei
Q: If you were to attend a celebratory party with your teammates, how would you like to dress?
No way in particular. But Rokuta loves the buffets on offer at parties, so perhaps it would be a good idea to dress him in a way that would show food stains as little as possible.
Q: What Christmas present would you give to your team members?
I would like to give Rokuta some food, and Itsuki a book as presents. I would also like to prepare their favorite food, games, and books at home such that we can all enjoy ourselves. Itsuki and Rokuta always bring me so much happiness, so I would like to be able to thank them for that.
Q: What's something that's happened recently with your team?
At dinner, I gave Rokuta part of my portion of karaage. Then Itsuki said that my meal was lacking in nutrients, so he shared his with me. But then, seeing that, Rokuta shared his with Itsuki, so in the end, everyone just passed their karaage around in a circle, and I truly felt everyone's kindness.
Inukai Yuto
Q: If you were to attend a celebratory party with your teammates, how would you like to dress?
Taking our circumstances into account, if we were to attend, we would have to wear the formal wear we have been provided. Speaking just for myself, I much prefer plain clothes over fancy ones, since I find them more comfortable, but I'm sure everyone else would hate that... ... and we'd probably have to be transported there in a police escort vehicle.
Q: What Christmas present would you give to your team members?
That's a good question. I think... Tosa-kun works out a lot, so I'd give him a towel, and Mikoshiba-kun plays a lot of games, so maybe I'd give him a historical novel. And Kaida-kun... I'm not sure, maybe some rice crackers to help him smoke less...?
Q: What's something that's happened recently with your team?
The other day, I went to check on the others' room, and I caught Mikoshiba-kun shadow boxing. For some reason, he got really, really mad at me, but I kind of felt warm inside knowing that Mikoshiba-kun does things like that, too.
Kuzuryu Chisei
Q: If you were to attend a celebratory party with your teammates, how would you like to dress?
I really don't like feeling constrained, so I'll wear whatever I feel like wearing. I'll wear a suit if I'm feeling it, but I kind of just play it by ear based on the vibes that day.
Q: What Christmas present would you give to your team members?
We're not really the type to give each other Christmas presents, so maybe a pack of cigarettes would be a decent compromise? But he's always got such a sour look on his face, it's kind of not worth trying to give him any presents, lol.
Q: What's something that's happened recently with your team?
We were visiting some developing countries while we were traveling, and it was a lot of fun. Everyone was so open-minded. Haruomi and I and a bunch of the locals were rapping and making beats with buckets and whatever other stuff they had on hand, and that was really cool. It'd really been a while since I'd seen Haruomi make that soft an expression.
