Ueda on the topic of his victory in this year’s marathon, and the members.

…Indeed, there were definitely some regrets regarding last year’s marathon where I didn’t manage to do quite well, and it was true that many thoughts were running through my mind at that moment. I thought I had to do something about it, and getting a second place just won’t do. If I got #1 in the marathon, it would somehow help enhance KAT-TUN’s image as well. I was happy (that I won). The people around me were happy for me, Nakamaru even cried about it because he knew I practised really hard for this marathon. When I met Kame the next day, he told me he watched the program and was amazed at the result. He said I was ‘Sugoi!’. But Kame complained that Nakamaru should have waited for me at the goal because the sight would have been more kakkoii. Lol. However, Nakamaru being Nakamaru, he knew that it would have been a hindrance if he really did that.
