YURA-sama is the choreographer of the group and is responsible for coming up with the routines that PLC does to many of their songs. During certain dance-heavy songs, PLC will play a pre-recorded drum track while he and AYA perform a routine on stage. He's one of the more talkative members and is quick to smile. The "-sama" tacked onto his name is a term of respect meaning "honorable" or "most revered," however in this case it's more of a joke than a serious thing.

* He says the same thing in two different ways...
** Like the being busy around the house, etc.
*** Okay, I'm assuming most people know what Doraemon is. On his stomach there's this pocket from which he can make any sort of thing appear; it's called 'yojigen pocket'. Literally, it's like a 'fourth-demension pocket'.
**** Asking if he thinks there's a difference between these two words used for 'love' in Japanese. |
