[MUSIC PLAYING]
Niall and I, obviously, are related.
I think everyone thinks we're related.
Yeah.
We're really related.
Yeah.
You're obviously Irish.
Are you Irish?
I have some Irish, yes.
You're Irish?
Yeah.
And French?
German?
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
Let's hang out for the holidays.
OK.
You should buy me something.
All right.
Now, this, really, is amazing.
I don't know if you know this, but you crashed our website
for ticket requests.
We had more people--
[CHEERING]
So do you-- I mean, is it possible to get used to this?
Because everywhere you go, you have this kind of reaction.
[CHEERING]
I wouldn't say it's ever something
you could get used to.
It's absolutely crazy, and we're just absolutely blown away
by the support and dedication of all of the fans
and especially out here in America.
You guys are crazy.
Now, Harry, did you get a tattoo when you landed?
Did you did you go right to get a tattoo?
I pretty much, yeah.
You landed and then got the tattoo.
Yeah, I went straight from work.
What did you get, and where is it?
I got--
Two little birdies.
Yeah, I got two little birdies.
Yeah.
Show it!
[SCREAMING]
And who else has tattoos?
So you all have tattoos?
Everyone except Niall.
You don't have a tattoo?
Do you have a tattoo?
I don't have a tattoo.
Must be in the family.
No.
It's a family thing.
It's in the family.
Definitely.
If we do get tattoos, you'll get my name, and I'll get yours.
Obviously.
Without saying.
Goes without saying.
All right, this is a hard question.
But besides this moment, sitting here with me,
what has been your favorite moment so far?
I think one for us that we'll never forget
was the VMAs this year.
It was unbelievable.
So good.
Yeah.
And another question-- this comes from the fans.
They need to know this.
Who's single up here?
Who's single?
[SCREAMING]
OK.
It's a frenzy now.
And let's start with you, Niall.
Wait, you have to listen to this.
This is very important.
What do you look for in a girl?
Wait, you have to hear, or you won't know if you qualify.
[LAUGHS] I like someone that's cute,
someone I can have a laugh with.
And I also like people that are American.
And you all qualify.
[LAUGHS]
Harry.
I just think someone funny.
Yeah, I'm like, it's fine.
Helps if [INAUDIBLE] I guess-- someone like you.
You look for somebody like me?
Yeah.
Oh, that's very sweet.
If only I weren't taken, I would gladly be with you.
You win some.
You lose some.
I'll look for someone like me for you.
All right.
Exactly.
No, no.
Here's what's going to happen.
I assume you're very, very big fans.
I didn't let you hug them for a reason.
I want you-- I'm going to blindfold all three of you.
And I'm going to send you over.
And I'm going to name one of them.
And you're going to have to find the guy that I named.
And if you're correct, you win a prize.
And if not, you just got to feel up a guy.
It's a win-win, really.
All right, Francis, you are going to go find Louis.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERING]
That's him?
Yeah.
You're right.
Take it off.
You are correct!
[CHEERING]
[BELL DINGING]
I love this game.
All right.
You're Melissa?
Yes, I am.
Melissa, I want you to find Niall.
OK.
[CHEERING]
Niall!
[SCREAMING]
Is that right?
OK, yes.
Yes.
Do I take this off?
Yes, you can.
[LAUGHS]
[BELL DINGS]
She grabbed his bum.
All right.
You now are going to find Harry.
You're going to find Harry.
[CHEERING]
[LAUGHTER]
That's not him?
Who did-- All right, that's not fair.
Take off your blindfold.
Look-- look-- look who we made you--
Take it off?
Yes, you can take it off.
We made you feel Dave.
[LAUGHTER]
He's not a member of One Direction.
Harry ran away.
There he is.
I wish Dave was a member of One Direction.
All right.
Not only did you get hugs, but you also get iPads.
Thank you for playing.
So I'm a huge fan of Harry's.
I went to go see--
he was at the Forum on Friday night.
Your show was so amazing.
It was incredible.
Thank you very much.
Thanks.
I can't wait to see the tour because that was just, really,
a one-night thing for your album launch.
And it was, like, start to finish, album.
Yes.
Yeah, it was-- album came out Friday.
So it was like a release kind of--
And it's going to be number one this week.
I'm telling you guys, if you haven't heard it yet,
it is so good.
It is--
Thank you.
It's amazing.
I'm so happy for you.
Now, the last one you did after One Direction,
you went to Jamaica to write.
Yes.
And then this one, you went to Japan.
I spent some time in Japan.
I didn't write the whole thing.
But you went to Japan for a month by yourself?
I did.
I took-- yeah.
By yourself?
Yeah.
What is that like?
I mean--
It was fun.
Do you speak Japanese?
By the time I left, I could at least--
I could kind of blag my way through a conversation.
So people thought I spoke Japanese.
Uh-huh.
And now, if you're not speaking it all time,
it's really hard to--
Right.
It seems like a hard language to learn.
You tend to forget, yeah.
So, obviously, you had traveled there
before with One Direction.
You'd been there.
Uh-huh.
So it was one of your favorite places.
That's why you went there?
Yeah, I love it.
And I think before I went, I kind of just
realized I'd never really traveled on my own
because I'd been-- whenever I'd been traveling,
I did it-- when I was younger, I went with my family.
And then was traveling everywhere with the band.
And I kind of felt like I should probably
do something on my own.
So I just went and walked around and saw some friends and stuff.
It was nice.
Oh, so you had friends there?
I have a few friends that live there.
OK.
That helps.
And you went to Jamaica.
Then you went here.
Does that inspire you to write in a different way?
Does it-- what does that do for you, when you--
I mean, obviously, traveling is important for all of us.
But how does that affect you creatively?
I think for me, it's just a lot about not being in--
like, so in the mix and being around a lot of distractions.
So even, honestly, being away from all your friends,
where somebody will say, do you want
to come out for dinner, or something
like that, which kind of, obviously, takes you out
of the studio.
I think it's more-- for me, it's just
about focusing on that one thing and not getting distracted,
I guess.
Right.
And the inside of your album--
let's just take a look at this-- inside the album.
So stylish, Harry.
I just love the way--
I love the way you dress.
I love everything about you.
But let's just take a look because sometimes, you
find lyrics.
And then sometimes, you find this.
Right.
Woo!
[CHEERING]
Oh, and it's bigger back there as well.
That's--
Yeah.
That's what she said.
Yeah, so I did the photos for the album with a British
photographer called Tim Walker, who I'm a really big fan of.
And I'd never really done a shoot like this.
Most of us haven't.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
And it was kind of-- we tried it with some other stuff.
And it was kind of one of those things that was like, OK,
this shirt's not really working, so let's try it
without the shirt.
And then it's like, oh, those trousers aren't really working,
so let's try it without the trousers.
And then he kind of looked at me.
And I was like, these pants aren't working, are they?
And he's like, no.
Yeah.
But he was great.
That's how it worked out.
Yeah.
That was--
Clever, that he did it that way.
Yeah.
So yes, and now I'm-- yeah, now I'm naked in the thing.
Yeah, now you're naked.
Yeah.
But I like it, though.
Thank you.
I mean, you're not showing anything.
No.
It's fashion.
Yeah.
Now, do you-- you were here--
what?
Nothing.
OK.
Were you scared when you left?
You must have been-- when you left One Direction?
Because if that's all you know in the successes--
all of you together, and then you go off on your own--
I mean, it has been unbelievably successful.
And especially, like I said, this
is going to be number one this week.
Aren't you just-- aren't you so proud of yourself?
Aren't you so happy?
I'm very happy.
Yeah.
I think coming out of that, I kind of tried to remind myself,
before getting any expectations, about you can't--
just not assuming anything.
Like, I don't know if people are going
to come because it's not the band anymore,
and stuff like that.
And yeah, I'm just really happy.
It makes me feel, obviously, very great,
that people seem to be enjoying the music.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, the people were camping out for a week before--
the Forum was Friday night.
People flew in from all over the world
and were there for a week outside,
waiting for that Friday-night performance.
So that gives you an idea of how excited people are to see you.
I feel very lucky just to have such a dedicated group
of people.
They're amazing.
They really-- they kind of--
Well, you can add me to that now.
--surprise me.
I'm a dedicated fan.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I'm a huge fan.
