Himitsu no Arashi-chan #4
I was right at my brother's apartment, about to open his door, when this little girl (couldn't be more than two) ran right past. Suddenly, she screeched to a stop, just to point and say, "Is a girl!!"
So I said, "That's right, is a girl, hiii~" as I opened my brother's door to head inside.
She giggled, turned -- and promptly tripped.
Her mother and I made little squeaks of horror, but she stood up without shedding a single tear, and said,
"Bye bye~!"
I went into my brother's to squee over the cuteness. All my brother said to me was, "Weirdo."
... well. At least Aiba-chan understands...?
Secret #1: Aiba-chan
Aiba: Everyone, this is, a camera.
Sho: WE KNOW THAT.
Aiba: You do?
Aiba: I've learnt [the technique] so may I try it? Very good...
Matsushima: Will you be okay, can you do it?
Aiba: BURURURURU PAPAPA.
Nakashima: Hey, that's an adult! An adult!
Nino: Don't make an idiot out of him!
Sho: That's different!!
--Studio diva photographer, Yamaguchi-san. He's wanted by all female announcer wannabes for their profile pictures! He's taken the pictures of 80 announcers out of 140 in the entire country. You can do make-up/hair in his studio, as the pictures change in accordance to which studio you want to apply to. They even call up TV stations to ask what kind of profile pictures they like!
Nihon TV: A round and boyish face, like an idol just before her debut
TBS: A tall, long-looking face is important; an elegant lady
Fuji TV: An emphasis on her character
TV Asahi: Eyebrows should be straight, and her whole aura should be showy
Craaaazy. I knew make-up and photographs could make a difference, but I didn't know how much until now. XD;
--There's a photographer who, out of 100, can take 100 pictures of children smiling.
Nino: What is with you!?
Aiba: Yep, okay!
Aiba: Amazing skills?
Manager: Yes.
Aiba: Rather, skinny arms? (*sugoude - amazing skills; hosoude - skinny arms. both use 'ude' which means 'arms'. oh Aiba.) They're skinny huh, quite skinny.
Aiba: Can you really take 100 out of 100?
Nakajima: Yes.
Aiba: What's your history of photography?
Nakajima: I've been doing it for 4 years.
Aiba: That's pretty short, right?
Nakajima: That's pretty short.
Aiba: Right?
Nakajima: Yes.
Aiba: How old are you?
Nakajima: I'm 23 right now.
Aiba: You're younger than me??
Aiba: Mother, what image is this today?
Mom: A princess, I guess.
Aiba: Um, (the dress) is a lot bigger than the body...
Nino: Oi!
Maasa: [BAWWWWLL]
Nino: Look what you did!
Aiba: Just because our eyes met!?
Aiba: Is taking pictures a first time for Maa-chan?
Mom: It is...
Aiba: It does look like it huh! Maa-chan, do your--
Maasa: [BAWL]
Aiba: I got it, do your best okay? For your first picture? I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!!
Aiba: This looks hard! Can you do this, Nakajima-san?
Nakajima: Yes!
Aiba: You can?
Nakajima: Yes!
Aiba: I think it's definitely impossible! It's difficult even for her mother to comfort her!
I, I think Maa-chan just doesn't like the fact that she's drowning in um. Frills.
But Nakajima-san does it! Look at the widdle, itty thing, sho cuuuute.
Aiba: What's with the "PAPAPA"? BURURURURU PAPAPA!
--Point one: In order to charm a smile out of babies, you must talk to them and make noises to attract their attention. Once they face you, take an immediate shot.
--Point two: Talk to young children (and do impressions).
This girl is so darling. *___* "Are you ready, Mi-chan?" *nod* D'awwwww.
Nakajima: Impressions.
Aiba; Impressions!
Nakajima: Yes.
Aiba: What else do you have? Do you have impressions of Arashi?
Nakajima: If it's "Love so sweet" I can do it.
Aiba: No way!
Nakajima: I can imitate MatsuJun.
Aiba: Please show it to me!
Sho is having a blast in the background. XD Also, I love this girl, she's so bouncy and sweet!
Aiba: That's Matsumoto? He's probably angry with you, you know! He's probably angry!
Nakajima: But I'm a fan, I'm sorry!!
Jun: just so fun to imitate. A fan's a different matter from Kawai, I'm sure, so Nakajima-san is safe! *snrk*
Aiba: Nakajima-san, it feels like I can do it now.
Nakajima: Really?
Aiba: Really. Please let me do it. [Love So Sweet]
Nakajima: Like this.
Aiba: Ah, I've lost all my confidence.
CRYING BABY vs AIBA MASAKI: ROUND ONE.
Aiba: Sae-chan! Sae-chan! Sae-chan! PAPAPAPA. PAPAPA. PAPA. Sae-chan!
Nino: That's scary! She'll get traumatised by you!!
Aiba. Aiba sweetie. You do not crawl after a scared child popping your mouth like that. That makes you look like a gigantic SNAKE. (Unless, of course, the girl is a little older, in which case that would make you look pretty damn hot. ... I mean.)
Jun: Don't take a picture of that!!
Nino: What are you going to do with that!?
Sho: [CRACKING UP]
To commemorate his second loss for the day?
SO TINY. OH MY GOSH. Little thing is less than 4 months old. ;;
Nakajima: Too slow! Return quickly!
Aiba: T-That's rough... OH, THAT'S GOOD THAT'S GOOD
Nakajima: Hurry up and return!!
Aiba: [RAISES FIST]
Nakajima: You're slow!!
I love this whole sequence. It's like Aiba is going, WHAT THE FRICK I'M GOING TO PUNCH YOU FOR THA-- WAIT NO BAD AIBA BAD, NO PUNCH, NO PUNCH. Jun is a bad influence on you, hon. *pats*
I actually thought this was kind of cute. :D;
Aiba: Um, I think I can't do it because they're all girls. Do you have any boys?
Nakajima: Then we'll bring a boy over...
Aiba: If it's a boy I can do it! I have a secret technique.
Aiba: Alright, alright~ Ah, this may work!
Aiba: Poop! Poop!
Sho: You're the worst! The worst!!
Aiba: Popping out! Poop!
Of course, Aiba.
Aiba: Next, Leader!
Ohno: Ah, me??
Of all the Arashi members, Aiba, you choose the one who hates kids? XDD
Ohno: Haru-chan! Haru-kun! Haru-chan! Look this way!! Haru-kun, Haru-kun, Haru-kun! PAPAPA. Ow! Don't kick!! BURURURURU.
Nakajima: He's scared!
Ohno: Haru-kun! Look, look, look~! ... don't look at me with such cold eyes! I'm trying my best here!
Aiba: Leader, you haven't taken a single shot!
Nino: Don't get depressed...
Ohno, Ohno, Ohno, so cute with the kid. He really is trying... and I love how while Nino made fun of Aiba, he has this soft, affectionate look on his face with Ohno's attempt. ... w-what. >:
Aiba: Leader, do you want to take a look at what you took?
Ohno: [CLICK]
Sho: He's starting to like it!!
Well, photography is a kind of art style. *grin*
Ohno's.
Nakajima-san's.
... RUN CUTE KID, JOHNNY HAS HIS EYE ON YOU.
K-Kusano-san. They always seem to pick on him every episode, don't they?
Sho: Nakajima-san clearly has an abundant range of expressions, huh.
Aiba: Would you like to try it? Then, let's do it. I'll take the picture, so please make the "bururu" sounds.
Nakajima (guest): I wonder if his mood will turn better~ He was crying just now after all~
Nakajima: Sho-chan! Sho-chan, it's sister's face! Pururururururu~! It's sister's face, right, that's good, just like that! Right, right, right!
Aiba: I got it!
Nino: Let's see! Aiba-san!
Aiba: Yes?
Nino: Show this to everyone!
Aiba: Can you see it? He's smiling! What a kind face!
asdfl;kj he looks dazed. Nice shot, Aiba-chan.
Secret #2: Sakurai-chan
--The necessity item for a simultaneous interpreter is chocolate. It helps to replenish the sugar levels that drop from the intense concentration she requires for her work. The most a simultaneous interpreter can work for is 15 minutes!
M-May I just freak out with happiness? For a little bit? 'cause this is my DREAM JOB, and and, yes. I really want to try simultaneous interpretation for a bit, then conference interpretation, while sort of freelancing translation on the side... and just... yeah. I admire this woman. A lot. ;; I tried interpreting the presentation and god, she really was predicting some of the speech before it was said (otherwise it'd be impossible to catch up to the rest of it), and predicting it accurately, and I was just like, lsk;dff I WILL WORK HARD TO DO THAT ONE DAY. Wish me luck. T^T
Sho: [holds out hand]
Hashimoto: ......
Matsushima: Huh? Why??
Jun: The most unexpected development!
Nino: What happened?
Sho: I don't know.
Nino: You were trying to shake her hand, right? Sort of a, "I did it" gesture? For getting a full score?
Hashimoto: I'm sorry! I'm sorry I couldn't read you!
Sho: No, no, it's fine, it's fine.
Aiba: So it's not that she didn't want to shake your hand.
Jun: Not that she didn't want to shake your hand.
Ohno, it's not nice to mock your bandmate when he gets shunned by a professional. Not that it isn't funny. *cough*
Hashimoto: Thank you very much!
I-Is it a trend for interpreters to be a little spacey? 'cause the Japanese sub I work with, whose primary job is also an interpreter/translator, kind of has her head up in the air sometimes too. :D;;
Secret #3: Revolving sushi
--Assorted revolving sushi stores!! One store has something called a "black creation", with squid ink poured on the squid, as well as takoyaki on the sushi; another calculates the number of adult/child customers to figure out which sushi to put on the conveyers, and washes the plates with machines (I've been to one like that in Osaka! :D); another has a Shinkansen conveyer to send special orders to people who made them. Amongst others. XD
Sumida: I've never really eaten the black creation before so, I'd be really happy if that appeared in a revolving sushi store. Shall we go together next time?
Jun: Me? To a revolving sushi store?
Sumida: Yes.
Jun: Certainly.
Sumida: Hooray!!
Lucky lady. :(
Secret #3: Arashi-chan's
Jun has a cool image, but his mails are very cute! The birthday mail he sent to Sho said, "Happy birthday!" and then a little firework gif played right after. XD
Moving is hard work, guys. I always have trouble figuring where to start with the packing. *slaps forehead*
So I said, "That's right, is a girl, hiii~" as I opened my brother's door to head inside.
She giggled, turned -- and promptly tripped.
Her mother and I made little squeaks of horror, but she stood up without shedding a single tear, and said,
