oohh i have another one too

A = Animal. They were asked to compare members to animals.
They said Hiroto was like a rat or squirrel because of his teeth.
Tora was a horse (zeebra).
Saga was a penguin, because he walks like one and his legs are opened. XD
Shou was a cat.
Nao was of course, A BEAR!!! X3

L = like. Who do they like/admire?
I only really remember Saga and Hiroto's reply. Hiroto said he liked this baseball player (I forget his name, but I know who he is) because he has a smile on when he hits a homerun and that he has beautiful teeth.
And Saga at first said J-san, but later said Nao from Kagrra. He said (in context) I want everything he wants. but if you have different context, it's also like "I want all of Nao," and my yaoi fangirl mind made me think things . . . XD

I = Innocent. Who's most innocent in the band?
Everyone said Hiroto, but Hiroto said that Shou is also innocent. Then Nao said that the whole band is really innocent. Then he claimed he was the only adult.

C = Change. If you could be someone else for one day, who would it be?
Tora said that it doesn't matter who, he just wants to be a woman. Not someone good but not someone bad (but I think he meant look wise).
And Nao said he wanted to be Amuro from Gundam.
Saga said he wants to be an ikemen (I don't know how to translate it . . . sort of like good looking tough-ish guy) and hits on girls.
And then Shou said he wanted to turn into one of those pretty models that Saga likes and "tempt" him. And then Saga said "So you're pretty much saying you want to do XX with me." See, this is why I went from sagaxnao to shouxsaga. XD

E = End. If you were to die the next day, what would you eat?
Tora said he'd want to eat Mcdonalds. Because it tastes good but it's not good for your body. But if you know you're going to die the next day, he'll just eat some mac. He said he can end his life with Mac.
Shou said he wanted Soy milk, but then after Saga said he would want ramen, he said he might want some ramen too.
Hiroto said Takoyaki from the region he grew up in.
Nao said the most expensive food in the world.

N = news.
J-san will be on the peace and smile midnight radio with Arisu! And Nao-san is going on a diet.

I = If you could travel to the past or future.
Nao said that if you go to the future, there's nothing good about it, but you wouldn't want to go to the past because those are your memories. So he said he'd go to the future.
And Saga said he wanted to go back 14 years, and he should've upped his cooking skills.
And I think Shou said he wanted to travel to the future and see the earth get eaten by the sun (you know, when the earth pretty much dies).

N = New. About the new single.
I kind of said everything already. But they said they wanted to play on the Oricon Charts for DVD release.

E = Everywhere. What do you wear, not taking off?
Tora said his watch, because the time is precise.
Hiroto said accessories, and if he lost it, it would put him in an uneasy position.
Nao said hanko, so he can always buy a house.
Saga said point cards from various stores (point card like when you buy something of certain price, you get stamps for it).
Shou said his PSP, and even if he's busy and knows he probably won't get to play, he puts it in his bag.

Tora: I don't wake up in the morning
Tora: Don't smoke. yeah right my ass what are you holding then in this pic???

Hiroto: Dragonball kid at heart
Tora: All members. whore XD
Shou: soccer = shit WOOT you go shou
