Takaki Yuya reveals his story of joining Johnny & Associates

In the magazine "Myojo" (May 2014 edition) Hey! Say! JUMP's Takaki Yuya revealed his relationship with family members. He has 2 elder sister and 1 younger brother. When he was little, he wore his sisters clothes. He admited that he really looks like his sister. While he was really scared with his sister, he got along well with his younger brother. Ofcourse they did get into fights, like when whatching TV, making the parents become mad at them.

He also revealed, that their parents were really strict about manners. Watching TV while having meals wasn't allowed and no one may start eating before everyone of the family got together. He said, that his sisters had very good manners, but he himself was in a rebellious state. That's why he got scoleded everyday. When he made his brother laugh while they were being scolded, their parents got even more angry.

He used to do kendo and basketball and wanted to be a nursery teacher. Takaki was then asked about how he became a Johnny's. He said that one day his mother was invited to watch a KinKi Kids concert, but she didn't have interests in it so she sent Takaki to watch it. Later at the concert, he was impressed by Domoto Koichi and became a fan of his. Wanting to be as cool as him and to be surrounded by girls, screaming for him, he decided to join Johnny's.
