Ra*bits Group Interview

Q/1 If you could switch bodies with any other member for just one day, who would it be?

Mitsuru: I saw that happen in a movie! It looked pretty stressful trying to keep it a secret from everyone, but it was pretty cool.

Nazuna: Yeah, there’s a lot of famous media involving body switching.

Tomoya: I definitely don’t want to switch bodies with a weirdo, but I’d probably be okay with anyone here.

Hajime: If I could choose anyone, I’d want it to be Mitsuru-kun. I’d love to know what it feels like to be able to run that fast.

Mitsuru: It feels amazing! I’ll give you a piggyback ride when I run sometime, Hajime-chan! ⭐️ 

Tomoya: Just be careful you don’t fall~ I’d like to become Nii~chan and try going to college. It’d feel so grown up, something I admire a lot~ 🎶 

Nazuna: Yeah it’s true that college is a whole new world from high school. I think I’d wanna be Hajime-chin. I wanna know what it feels like to be part of a big family! 

Hajime: Hehe, it feels very comforting and it’s a lot of fun, you know. You might be in for a few surprises, Nii~chan, since you’re an only child.

Mitsuru: Gettin’ along with everyone is the most important of all! 🎶 I wanna be Tomo-chan! Then I’d be able to try out what it’s like to be leader of Ra*bits!

Tomoya: You, the leader? I’d be a little worried, but I kinda wanna see that.

Q/2 What would you do if you won the lotto?

Mitsuru: If you win the lotto, does that mean you get rich?

Nazuna: The chances of it actually happening are low, but if you get the jackpot, you win a crazy amount of money.

Tomoya: Uh, Hajime? You okay? You look like you’ve frozen up.

Hajime: I-I’m fine. Right, if we won a lot of money… We should donate half of it to our unit activities! And then we could split the rest of it equally between us all…

Nazuna: Hajime-chin, you don’t have to take it so seriously. You may as well try and imagine how you’d use it to try out something you’ve always wanted to do, or always wanted to own. Like a round-the-world trip!

Mitsuru: I wanna visit outer space!

Tomoya: Or we could rent out a huge arena and have a massive concert. Have you come up with something, Hajime?

Hajime: Yes! What if we built a huge house where all four of us could live together, and bring our families too?

Mitsuru: So we’d get to spend every day together? I super agree! 🎶 

Nazuna: Kinda like a sharehouse? Sounds fun!

Tomoya: If the house is gonna be huge, then as well as everyone getting their own room, we should have stuff like a room to practice dancing and a giant hall too.

Hajime: Oh, that sounds wonderful!

Nazuna: Ahaha, it sounds like it’s just gonna turn into ES!

Q/3 Is there anything you guys are super into as a unit lately?

Nazuna: Recently we’re pretty into suddenly ad-libbing and acting out a scene.

Tomoya: We come up with it totally on the spot. When we’re all together, someone will say something that sounds like a line out of a script, and everyone else has to play along.

Mitsuru: It feels like a drama without a script, and it’s super fun! I love how we all get to act out different parts compared to who we normally are~

Hajime: The other day, Mitsuru was suddenly like “Hey, Dad!” to Nii~chan.

Tomoya: Right, yeah! Mitsuru was a kid attending high school and Nii~chan was his papa.

Nazuna: He caught me off-guard, but I knew I had to play along, so I did my best to make my voice as deep as I could and go “Oh, welcome home, son.”

Tomoya: Then I pretended to be Mitsuru’s little brother and started talking to him in that role, but since Hajime started acting all fidgety I was like, “Hey, Mom!”

Mitsuru: Hajime-chan’s face went all red and he was all “I’ll go put on some tea for you then, dear.”* - it was sooo cute

Hajime: All of you were looking at me so expectantly, so I got really embarrassed, okay…!

*Hajime normally speaks in polite Japanese to everyone 100% of the time, unless he’s talking to his siblings/family. When he pretended to be a mom, he dropped the polite Japanese and switched to plain Japanese, which is an usual way of speaking for him.

Q/4 Tell us what it is you admire about the other members of your unit, or something you’d like to learn from them.

Hajime: There are so many things~ I could be here all day answering this! Nii~chan is so dependable and reliable, Tomoya-kun is so lovely and kind, and Mitsuru-kun is so, so cool, and—

Tomoya: Ahaha, yeah I consider pretty much everyone but me to be pretty amazing. Sometimes I question if it’s really okay for me to be the leader.

Mitsuru: Of course it is! You’re always workin’ so hard every day, so I’ve a ton of respect for ya, Tomo-chan! And for Nii~chan and Hajime-chan too!

Nazuna: What I really like is the way you guys support and encourage one another like this.

Hajime: Wah…! And nothing makes the three of us happier than when you praise us, Nii~chan!

Mitsuru: Right! But what about you, Nii~chan? Do ya like it when we praise you?

Nazuna: Well, yeah. It’s because I’ve got you guys here with me that I’m able to do my best when it comes to both college and idol work.

Tomoya: And when you say things like that, it gives the rest of us the courage to want to work even harder!

Mitsuru: Yeah! Ah, I just love Ra*bits so much~!
