flytotheworldGot so caught up with the other posts that I forgot to translate these, whoops. But here they are now!
Their experiences have piled up since their debut, and to the members who've grown up, we asked them two questions: "compared to myself then, I've beaten this thing" and "a time when the members made me feel better."

I think I've gotten nicer over the years, and I think that's because I've taken a load off and I'm more able to relax now than I was back in the day. Back when we debuted, I was like, "we have do do this, too," selfish and convinced I was right, and just so caught up in that. I probably began changing about when I turned 30, I guess. I don't have to overwork myself, and realized it's okay to have fun so I can enjoy my life then. Thinking again about V6, we have a really good sense of our distance and that binds us, I think. We may be the group with the biggest age difference, but we maintain a reasonable distance with one another. When we wonder if something is all right, we'll say something. We've become a group where we can say what we want to say, but for us, that sense of distance we have is the most us-like thing that we have, and that gives us a nice, cozy space.

Things around me seem to have calmed down, and I've done things I wasn't able to do years ago, and that certainly has to do with me gaining experience. I'd be pretty worthless if I hadn't, right? (laughs). I might have been in better shape physically back when we debuted, but I don't think I want to go back. The me that I am now is fine, I think. It might be neat to go back knowing now what I didn't know then, though. Everyone's been doing their own work, and gaining more experience, and with that, I think our relationship has changed from what it was back then. With our work increasing lately, it makes me feel better when the six of us are together. When it's just 2 or 3 of us, the mood is different depending on who's together, and I never get tired of that freshness. I think it's great that V6 have these different moods.

Looking back on our debut, I want to tell myself back then "please treasure your interactions with others" (laughs). I feel like now I might have some breathing room to see what's around me. But there's also a time in your life when your'e really headstrong, right? I've probably cut through all those things on this path I've taken. When it comes to dancing, back then, I'd want to show off my excitement, but now, I want to say it in words, and I want to show it off beautifully without any wasted movements, and I feel like I'm better able to do more detailed and difficult techniques now than I was then. I like the way I do things now. We're all together in a commercial together for the first time in 14 years, and I don't need to worry as much when I'm around the other members; it's really relieving.

I don't really think I've changed much since our debut... but I also don't really remember much from our debut (laughs). i think i've probably calmed down. We just filmed a commercial together for the first time in ages, and there was a sort of good feeling of nervousness there. When we're together, I calm down, and when I see the other members enjoying themselves, it makes me feel better. We haven't have any big fights, but that's definitely because we've been together 20 years. But there were times when we couldn't say what needed to be said. if we had lost someone, we wouldn't have the V6 we have now, so I'm glad we've been able to stay together. The years and our age difference keeps piling up, and there are things we weren't able to do that we are able to do now, so while we're changing, I want to better enjoy the group we are now.

As V6, we've met a lot of different people, and done a lot of different types of work and had many types of experiences. We've gotten a lot of different things, but the best is... when I think about it again, it's definitely the fans who say they like me. The meaning for my life is being able to feel a connection with the fans. People needing people is a happy thing in and of itself. When I'm with the other members, that's probably when I'm the loosest (laughs), and when I can relax, I think. We have a reasonable distance from one another, but we've all polished our own skills, and I think it's amazing that we're all standing here today. With this group, I want to continue showing off the "something" that only we can do.

When I was 14, I never would have thought I'd keep doing this kind of work, so everyone has been my teachers and my "big bros." They've really shown me a lot. I've been working as an actor more and more lately, and haven't gotten to be with the group as much, but it really makes me feel amazing when I see the other members out there doing their best. When I saw Ken at the NHK studios, I was like, "how you doin? Do your best!" and having Inocchi introduce me to the staff as "our Okada," that was kind of embarrassing but I was really happy. Are we all like one big middle-aged couple? (laughs) Even if we don't say much to one another, we're somehow connected still. I'm glad we've become a group where you can see the accumulation of the great atmosphere we've got.
