This was originally going to be longer, but then I realized I can only be so ridiculous today.

» Journal hopping led me to: Dante's Internet and lolling so hard right now.

♫ - Shun releasing an All Night Nippon magazine and AHHH WHY AREN'T THERE BIGGER FANDOMS FOR NON-JE ACTORS because I would totally be interested in translations of that!

♫ - Boku no Miteiru Fuukei's first day sales set a new record for Arashi and I am delighted by this

HnA088: I actually love that Nino doesn't always particularly like his job and has fun with messing with his fans, because it makes him such an interesting (and hilarious) person to watch and he's actually really, really good at holding a conversation with people, which they often use in their line of work. Nino is AMAZING at keeping a conversation from getting awkward, whether by playing the tsukkomi or by being genuinely interested in something--and that's not even including how Nino tells the best stories because he doesn't care if you think he's a dick. He walks this really amazing balance and he's so good at his job that sometimes I wish he enjoyed it more... but I can't lie and say I don't love that he often gets bored with it so he starts messing with people.

I am intrigued by your theories and wish to subscribe to your newsletter! I totally like to believe that Arashi spend the next week asking him for advice on what they should wear for whatever occasion and Jun is like I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING BUT YOU REALLY DO NEED HELP and so he feels a little better. ♥

I... I cannot disagree that Aiba would make the best model out of Arashi. I think a lot of Jun's appeal comes from when he wears more traditionally stylish clothes and because of his whole persona. For sheer looks, though? Yeah, Aiba is the one that makes clothes look hot.

I bet he took this into consideration, too.

CRACKING UP NOW BECAUSE I CAN EASILY BELIEVE YOU'RE RIGHT. Nino himself slouches (not to mention that he's rail thin) so he often doesn't look quite right in clothes, but you take them off and put them on a mannequin? I imagine they looked pretty good and Nino knows it.

Zoom In: It does seem like Aiba talks fairly evenly across those three, yeah. (I'd say Jun and Nino might be a little ahead of Sho these days. I swear, it never used to be this way, but there is A LOT of Aiba/Nino in the last couple of years and, really, who thinks that's a good idea? They're clearly Chaos Incarnate, you guys!)

VSA102: You know, as much as I love Nino/Jun dickery and bitching at each other (because it's so hilarious), I love that they're the two squishiest members of Arashi, who have all this RIDICULOUS LOVE for their bandmates, and I want more of them demanding each others' attention! Because I can totally believe that Jun would want to both mess with Nino's fanboy crush AND would want Nino's attention back on himself. (Despite that Jun is actually not as much of an attention whore as a lot of people would believe! It's just that he's a squishie, so he always wants to ~*be*~ with his bandmates and focus on them/have them focus on him.)

I love happy, smiling, beaming Jun so, so much, too. ;___;♥
