先日、ランチをしながらテレ朝さんの「徹子の部屋」を見ていたら、セクシーゾーンのメンバーで、初登場が菊池風磨君だった。嵐の翔くんの慶応の後輩だ。
The other day, I was watching TV Asahi's 'Tetsuko's Room' over lunch.
A member of Sexy Zone, making his first appearance on 'Tetsuko's Room' was Kikuchi Fuuma. He is Arashi's Sho's junior at Keio University.
菊池風磨君は、さすが俺の職場近くの慶応卒というよりも天性の品格があった。番組で母方の祖父について、最も影響を受けた人として多くを語った。父方の話はなかったので、勝手に補足させていただく。
Kikuchi Kazuma-kun had more natural dignity than a graduate of Keio University near my workplace, as expected.
He spoke a lot about his maternal grandfather on the programme as the person who had influenced him the most.
There was no mention of his father's side, so I will take the liberty of adding my own.
偶然にも彼のお父さんが、僕の高校(福島県立棚倉高校)の先輩であることを知った。以前、棚高の福島県東白川郡矢祭町の同級生が、都内某所のミニ同級会で「お正月に実家に帰ったら、風磨に『おじさん、二十歳になったのでお祝いちょうだい』と言われたから、やってきたよ」と言っていたのを思い出した。
その同級生も菊池君だが、高校の時に柔道3段だったし、風磨君とはまるで似ていない。したっけ(福島県の方言)、それでも血縁だ。大柄な見た目に比べて、同級生の菊池君も、風磨君に似て、優しくてちょっとだけ品があるのだ。写真もあるけど、それはNGだな。
It just so happens that his father is a senior at my high school (Tanakura High School in Fukushima Prefecture).
I recalled that a classmate from Tanakura High School in Yamatsuri-machi, Higashishirakawa-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, once said at a mini class reunion in Tokyo, "When I went home for New Year's, Kazuma told me, 'Uncle, I turned 20, so please give me a celebration', so I gave him one."
That classmate's name is also Kikuchi, but he was a third dan in judo in high school and he doesn't look anything like Fuuma.
Shitakke(Fukushima dialect, meaning 'then'), but still, they are blood relatives.
Compared to his large appearance, his classmate Kikuchi, like Fuuma, is kind and a bit more refined.
I have a photo of him too, but that's not for posting.
