The Johnnys’ Quiz Club will gather again for “Q-sama!!”
What if we were to become home tutors…??
The “Johnnys’ Quiz Club” led by Snow Man’s Abe Ryohei will appear on “Q-sama!!”. For these 6 people who started this daily study club, they’ll surely be good at teaching as well! They talk about what kind of home tutor each of them would be.
==
Abe: I’m really, really happy that we’ll get to battle as 6 people once again! It’s been about a year since our last appearance [on “Q-sama!!”] as the Quiz Club, I think?
Kawashima: Was it that long ago?
Abe: But we’ve been frequently studying for quizzes online though, haven’t we. We also did a bit of preparation in advance of today, so I’m looking forward to the filming.
Kawashima: We’ve studied in quite a number of formats, haven’t we.
Abe: During our remote study sessions as the Quiz Club, we sometimes also have QuizKnock’s Fukura-P and Kou-chan, who often appear on the show ([Q-sama!!]), come and give guest lectures to train us, too.
Motodaka: During the period when I was involved in my stage production, I would have study sessions with Ukisho (Hidaka)-kun and Iwasaki Taisho.
Abe: How about UkiNasu? Was it easier for you two since you’re in the same group?
Nasu: Our dressing-room was the same during our stage production, but we didn’t really do our studies for the Quiz Club; instead, we were always just doing homework for university.
Abe: That’s great!
Kawashima: Were you guys really doing your university homework, or were you just checking yourselves out in the mirror (laughs)?
Nasu: Ahaha!
Ukisho: You’re right, we’d be doing either of those (laughs).
Abe: As expected from Bi Shounen*!
[T/N: Literal translation of Bi Shounen’s group name is ‘beautiful boys’.]
Kawashima: Even despite that, our gathering today kind of feels like a graduates’ reunion, doesn’t it?
Everyone: You’re right! (laughs)
Kawashima: During our work we do meet each other individually from time to time, but there weren’t really many times when all 6 of us would meet together. I’m happy that we get to meet after so long.
Nasu: I do have the opportunity to appear on quiz shows by myself, but when I’m lined up with the rest of these 6 I do feel a sense of security, as one would expect.
Motodaka: Ever since the Johnnys’ Quiz Club was established, no matter which quiz show I appear on, they’ll say “you’re from that Quiz Club…”.
Ukisho: That’s right.
Motodaka: It’s really becoming one part of my identity, and that makes me happy.
Kawashima: This time round, I’m sure everyone wants to show how much they’ve grown, right?
Ukisho: Over the past year, we’ve individually appeared in quite a number of quiz shows, so I think we’ve managed to gain some confidence. When we first started out, we were really nervous, but after starting to appear alone [on quiz shows] we became more confident in ourselves. What’s more, today I’ve got my five close friends by my side, so I think I’ll be able to head into the quizzes with a strong heart.
Abe: Also, Motodaka’s gained a lot of experience from taking part in various other TV programmes, so I think this time round he’ll be able to spread his wings.
Motodaka: That makes me happy! By gaining experience, I’ve managed to round out those areas that I was not as good at, so I think that’s been a huge help. “Q-sama!!” is a show which really demands the strength of the group as a whole, so I’d like to work hard so that I don’t drag everyone else down.
Ukisho: I’ve got high hopes for (Fukumoto) Taisei-kun. Today when I entered the dressing room, I noticed that there was a giant stack of printouts in Taisei-kun’s bag. I was curious as to what they were about so I took a peek, and realised that they were all study-related notes. So I think this time round might be Taisei-kun’s turn to shine.
Abe: Ooooh. Will you also show off your gags?
Fukumoto: I’ll do my best (laughs).
Nasu: I’ve got high hopes for Noeru-kun. He excels in every subject, and has a high level of knowledge across all fields, so I think we might be relying on him this time as well.
Kawashima: Thank you. When we appear on “Q-sama!!” as this group of 6, Abe-kun goes last and I go 5th, which is pretty scary. From a strategic point of view, it’s great to be assigned to areas which have “questions you know how to answer”, and then answer a whole lot of those questions, right? That’s what’s so tough about this spot [i.e. the 5th position]. Today, I want to be able to properly answer the questions, and show that I’m meant to be in this position. Also, Taisei previously taught me a gag. I’m 100% sure that the gag will not be well-received, but I might end up silently doing the gag after I score a “fine play” on a question (laughs).
[T/N: On “Q-sama!!”, the team’s members will take turns to answer questions in a fixed order. Usually, the later your turn the more difficult the questions get. Answering a difficult question gets you a “fine play”.]
Motodaka: It’s going to be rough to have people doing gags on both sides of me (laughs).
[T/N: Going by the Quiz Club’s lineup from the last time they were on “Q-sama!!”, Katsuki will be taking 4th position, with Noel (5th position) and Taisei (3rd position) standing on either side of him.]
Everyone: Hahaha!
Kawashima: They told us they wanted us to talk about “what kind of teacher we’d be if we were home tutors”... first off, how about Taisei?
Abe: Taisei seems like he’d teach you how to seize the right moment [for jokes] or how to properly give a snarky response to jokes (laughs).
Kawashima: You meant that kind of teaching?! (laughs)
Fukumoto: No way, no way, that kind of thing can’t be taught! (laughs)
Ukisho: But he does seem like he’d always be laughing during lesson time, doesn’t he.
Kawashima: He seems like he’d teach stuff like history in an interesting manner, which would make all the events really easy to remember. And he’d teach mnemonic devices to remember all the important dates, too.
Abe: That sounds good! How about Katsuki?
Fukumoto: His lessons seem like they’d somehow involve fish.
Everyone: Hahaha!
Kawashima: Stuff like “can you properly filet this fish?” (laughs).
Abe: He also seems like he’d show up for every lesson in a suit.
Kawashima: Ah~ He seems like he’ll be able to pull that off. Do you like teaching?
Motodaka: I do enjoy it.
Nasu: He seems like he’ll help you get better at things you’re good at.
Kawashima: I think that’s because Katsuki himself has put in a lot of effort to even out the areas he’s not so good at. He seems like he’ll teach by first helping you get better at the things you’re good at, then coming back around to improve the areas you’re not so good at.
Motodaka: I’ll do my best!
Abe: Such motivation (laughs). How about Ukisho?
Ukisho: For me, I’d really like to work hard to teach properly, but I feel like I might end up digressing really easily (laughs). Like I might immediately just start talking about dinner, or something.
Abe: You won’t play games?
Ukisho: Well, as long as I don’t get found out by the parents…
Abe: So you will, then (laughs).
Ukisho: I guess I would sort of want to play games, huh (laughs).
Kawashima: He seems like he’d speak with you until past the end of the tutoring session. He feels like he’d be a teacher who’s easy to get along with.
Ukisho: Nasu seems like he’d become a super legit home tutor. He’s good at stuff like history, too.
Kawashima: That’d be good for getting accepted by the parents.
Fukumoto: Ah~ He seems like he’d be a good teacher!
Kawashima: He seems like he’d always bring some delicious shortcake for his student.
Abe: I can practically see the shortcake and black tea [in my mind’s eye] (laughs). Do you have experience teaching others?
Nasu: I did teach (Sato) Ryuga pretty frequently.
Kawashima: So you have taught before. I guess it’s easy to imagine you [as a home tutor], then.
Abe: Also, he seems like he’d be learning along with you. If he doesn’t know something, he’ll search it up for you.
Fukumoto: Noel-kun seems like he’d use a lot of data.
Everyone: Ah~!
Fukumoto: He seems like he’d have a lot of analysis based on past data, such as which questions tend to attract mistakes, and the rate at which the questions are answered correctly.
Motodaka: He seems like he’d make you answer a whole bunch of questions like you’re sitting an entrance exam for a cram school, so that he can assess his student’s capabilities.
Kawashima: Ahaha!
Abe: Based on that, he’d come up with a teaching strategy that suits his student.
Nasu: He seems like he’d do stuff like compiling a separate set of printouts for parts of the textbook that you don’t quite understand.
Abe: On top of that, he seems like he’d produce really good results (laughs).
Motodaka: Abe-kun seems like he’d be soft on his student. He’d be so soft on them that their grades won’t really improve (laughs).
Abe: Oi, oi, saying those things will affect my business, you know (laughs).
Motodaka: But I think he will definitely do what’s required of him, so I imagine that those students who can grow under his style of teaching would really grow a lot.
Kawashima: He seems like he’d buy black tea or bubble tea for his students. Like a form of support on the mental side of things.
Ukisho: If that’s the case, his students would fall for him! (laughs)

Date: 2022-03-13 06:59 pm (UTC)I would like to watch it happen. Maybe Motodaka will take the vice president position. Or maybe they are waiting for Noel and then appearing together. It's really make me anxious.
