Full Video from the 23rd
I think this is actually the FULL interview (and more...). Yeah!! Although I dislike how YTN keeps repeating the scenes over. I can play the whole thing over on my own,thank you very much. I like how the first part shows that Kookie has always been Kookie... even during those Turbo days. From tearing up from an emotional song one second to practicing his boxing the next. Though, I've always wondered why he was so enamored of boxing. (But I would like to learn it myself! - for reasons separate from Kookie, amazingly enough.)
I really dislike YTN... They like to blow things COMPLETELY out of proportion. Yes, his pronunciation is great, yes he answered everything very well. But no, that does not make him a 달인-expert. No wonder the commenters on those other sites were being mean. You can't claim expertise from a mere FIVE questions! And the interviewer kept saying 'LIKE'! How unprofessional!
Ah, but does this mean he can READ, too? (I shouldn't get my hopes up, I'd guess... One, I can converse in Korean pretty decently, but I can't write for my life and reading gives me a headache. Though! I did just go through a Mago Mago Arashi - Arashi no Totsugeki clip of Sho-chan that hadn't been subbed in English with Korean subs - my first Korean reading for 20 minutes straight ever! My dedication to Sho! ... ... .__.;; and Two, that'd mean that he might have understood, worse, remembered, what I wrote all those years ago and I might not be too happy with that. Mm, not happy at all, indeed.)
Oh, to anyone who cares... I don't know if anyone would care, but episode 60 Arashi no Shukudai-kun features Yumi..n? who is a Japanese actress in Korea. (Why is her Japanese name Yuuko and her Korean one either Yumi or Yumin? It's definitely not Yuuko...) And ahhh, Sho speaks KOREAN! Yes, yes, he has horrible pronunciation, but still....~ (Okay, Matsujun also did a little bilingual speaking also.) And he tried to do the stupid dance that 'Grasshopper' always makes people do on X-Man (when it existed) and... oh the highlight. They played 쥐를 잡자! OMFB!!! They can't play!! I don't think she really knows the game... But WOW, hysterical. It reminded me 여걸6 and .. inevitably Kookie, lol. They have to see a real game... lol. Ah, it will forever remain one my favorite Arashi moments - failing at playing 쥐를 잡자. xD
Number ONE on to do list (okay more like number five, but it's the most interesting): Learn how to use Adobe Encore (along with Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects)
Adobe Encore looks REALLY cool!!! Ahhh, the TEMPTATIONS!
