Up to now, you were playing for a different team and kept losing in the finals. Were you frustrated?
More than frustrated, I had fun. Win or lose, I always enjoy it. Everyone on the team was team playing because they were having fun. ...But I guess I was upset, yeah. I was frustrated.
You've changed teams, and changed positions to mid. How has your mental state changed?
It wasn't that I wanted to leave my old team. Because I played with those members, I kept going. I wanted to do it because of them. We were friends. But one of those members, Mueki, was friends with Yoshiaki and the other current members of this team, and invited me. And because Mueki asked me, I went along with it. And Mueki wanted to play AD Carry, so he asked me to play mid, so I figured I might as well do it.
What are the characteristics of 7th heaven?
I think Mueki is the best AD Carry in Japan, even though everyone says it's FocusMe's Yutapon. I also used to be an AD Carry, when you see a bad player playing ADC you always want to just take over and do it yourself. But when Mueki said he would play AD Carry, I agreed and decided to play mid. Our team is definitely based around him, I think. I'll carry too, though.
What are the champions you prefer, since you changed to mid?
Xerath and Nidalee – and Gragas, too. But they were all remade, so since then I've been playing the champions my teammates tell me to. I think right now, it'd be Ahri or Xerath.
What is your playstyle?
To beat the hell out of my opponent...is the feeling I want to play with, but when I think about the team as a whole...to answer seriously, I have complete confidence in my team fighting. I have the confidence to say I'm better at team fights than any other mid player. I play mid safely and focus on farm. But even if I'm down 10 or 20 CS, I can bring it back in team fights, and then from there we can go on to win the game. So I guess my playstyle would be a safe, farm lane.
Will you pick Nunu?
When I ask 'Can I play Nunu?' everyone always responds, 'What are you saying?'
Will you pick it if you're selected for the all star game?
Then I'll show it. I will definitely pick Nunu, so please vote for me!
You want to play against RF's Estel. Why is that?
The first wall I hit after switching to mid lane was Estel. I've been facing him since before I got used to playing mid. When that happened, I really felt how hard mid lane can be. Because I learned from him, I've been able to get as good as I have. We played a lot, during the Challenger Tournament. I think of him as my rival: the one I need to defeat.
We've been playing against RF a ton. We always meet in the finals, and it's usually a 1-2 loss.

Your goal for this year?
Toppling RF is definitely number one. Aiming for #1 seems a bit presumptuous right now, to me. Looking realistically, we'll win the matches we can. But I guess, no matter how strong your team is, you lose when you lose. I hope we can be a team that aims for those times and improves.
A word to your fans:
Can I look right at the camera?
Good evening, to all the Clockday fans watching. It's me, Clockday. There's lots of you looking forward to this, and lots of you who watch my stream on Nicovideo I think. Watch my mid, okay? If you watch my mid, you'll be able to reach Diamond. Whether you're Bronze, Gold, Silver...anyone. So don't watch any mid but me in this LJL. You don't have to watch a second of anyone else. Thank you very much.
