How do you relate to Hangry & Angry and what do they mean to you in your own words?
H: We can relate to Hangry & Angry but we know that this is a character. We respect the character though our real personality is different.
A: We judge each others appearance.
H: Angry’s fashion is really cute.

You recently graduated from Hello!Project, do you have any future plans for your career?
H: Hangry & Angry is my life right now.

Since you mentioned you weren’t like the characters Hangry & Angry, how do you get yourself into character?
H: When I put on the clothes, the makeup & my hair done, I’m absorbing the character. And when I see the audience, I’m ready to rock on.

Would you or have you done modeling for h.Naoto?
A: We’ve been modeling for Hangry & Angry in Japan.

A: I watch a lot of American dramas. Prison Break.
H: 24!
A: Heroes! Lost! But American dramas are so long so I gave up.

When you look into the audience do you see a sea of faces or individual people?
A: I see everything. I see everyone smiling and how excited they are and that gives me more energy to perform.

What do you do during your free time?
A: Eat. I love eating. (Giggles.)
H: Writing.

Do you cook or do you always eat out?
A: Yeah I cook, but I’m not good at it.

You’re selling out one-man’s and your MySpace page had 160,000 hits in the first three days. Were you expecting such instant success?
A: Not at all. We never knew that there were many international fans. Now that we’re here in Seattle and the fans are in front of us…it’s so hard to believe.
The internet brings the world together.
H: Internet rules.

What are you plans in Seattle?
A: …The seafood is good. (Laughs.)
H: I want to visit Starbucks.
