Translating snippets of 2016 ANN for Hug Day! XD

Kura was munching on ice and it was heard clearly and the sound got picked up by the microphone XD.

Yu-kun: Ohkura-san ^^; (To listeners) Right now Ohkura-san is munching on ice
Kura: I'm sorry.... I really love ice
Yu-kun: ^^; Is your throat okay? (It was during Recital 2016 season)
Kura: No, no, people who likes ice likes to be doted
Yu-kun: Eh..... do you admit that Ohkura-san?
Kura: Un, I want to be spoiled.
Yu-kun: WAHAHAHAHAHA! Ohkura-san, during what sort of timing do you want to be doted?
Kura: I want to be spoiled all the time

Yu-kun said he saw the Chronicle of that day and for him, Kura always have the image of a person who acts like an idiot but is actually a very calm person who plans his actions carefully. So hearing Kura wants to be spoiled always is surprising to him lol. So he asked in what sort of way do Kura wants to be spoiled.

Kura: Like our member name Maruyama-kun, he has a very soft body.
Yu-kun: ....body?
Kura: Yeah... body. Like... there's no other way to describe it other than 'body'
Yu-kun: So, you want to be spoiled body wise?
Kura: Yeah, like I lean on his body, "ton!" like that :3 I think I stick to Maru's body a whole lot. Like, don't you want to stick close to the body of people who are soft?
Yu-kun: I wonder 8D; Like, I'm not too sure about Maruyama-kun since I've never eaten with him before
Kura: Then let's eat together with him!

Yu-kun: Ah, sure, sure! Maruyama-kun is not the type who likes to be spoiled is he?
Kura: I think he wants to be spoiled too. But if the younger members come to him, he'd be like, "Ah, I can't help but spoil him" to the younger members.
Yu-kun: Ah, so it's kind of an unconscious rule for the younger to be spoiled by the older ones?
Kura: Yeah, it's kind of a privilege of being the youngest child
Yu-kun: Ah, is it just to Maruyama-kun you do the 'lean on his shoulder' sort of thing?
Kura: Hmm... I think I did that just to Maru alone
Yu-kun: Ehh... when you did that to him, he seems really happy too. Though I don't know Maruyama-kun's feelings 8D;
Kura: Don't you have moments when you want to be spoiled?
Yu-kun: I do but well, I'm a solo singer anyway so.
Kura: Eh, but I like to be spoiled by staffs too.
Yu-kun: Female staff?
Kura: Irregardless of gender. Though it takes 10 years for me to be able to be that friendly to them (since he's afraid of strangers lol)
Yu-kun: Lol, that took a really long time!

Kura said at home since he's the first son of three siblings and his second brother is only a year younger than him, he's probably like this because he only had a really short time when he is spoiled by people surrounding him when he was a kid. He was spoiled for a year and then his second brother is born and the love is shifted to his younger brother already. Then another 5 years after that his third brother is born and the love is further shifted and he keeps on being told that he's the older brother and he needs to be more dependable. The eldest end up being the loneliest.

Kura said he did wonder why he ends up being like this. He wondered why when he is with Maru, he'd just unconsciously and immediately end up hugging Maru. And he finally came up with an answer that is probably because he's the eldest at his own home.

Lol Kura's wordings: The youngest who wish to be spoiled is just because they are used to being spoiled. When the eldest wish to be spoiled it's because they don't receive enough love

Kura said he doted on his youngest brother (who is 5 years younger than him) a whole lot too. He thinks of his youngest brother as really cute too. Kura said it's fate for the youngest to receive all the love around him.

Kura: When we were kids he used to be like, "Tadayochii-niichan~!" all the time to me. Now he properly say "Tadayoshi-niichan" though lol. So he used to come to be all cute and sweet like that. Like during my elementary school years, I go and sit in my room, read my books and from my back, he'd go all "Onii-chan~!" and ride on my back. He's so cute, right? I'd act like, "Ugh, what are you doing!" to him but actually I feel that he's so cute. Then he entered junior high school, he didn't come to me at all. And I was like, "Ah... this is probably what my parents feel like when I start calling mom with 'okan' instead of 'okaa-chan'."
Yu-kun: Ah, so like, Ohkura-san all this while you were actually holding back your desire to be doted on?
Kura: I had never truly think of it before but nowadays when I think of it, since all the love had gone to the younger ones, the oldest one ends up being surrounded by loneliness.

Kura: Anyway, half of my life had been spent as Kanjani8's youngest child though
Yu-kun: Then I guess that is why you are used to sticking close to Maruyama-san after all? XD

Also, Janiben interview on website for Kuramaru upcoming 2/8 location shooting. Kura didn't even realize that he puts his hand behind Maru's back until the interviewer pointed it out. The interviewer thought that it's a supportive gesture but Kura said he just unconsciously go to Maru and hide behind Maru when he's scared lol.
