Only Star 2008.11.17: Arashi + Aiba
*Sigh* Breaking my hiatus status... just this once I hope^^ Why must all the magazines come out the day after I announce hiatus??? I read them... Only Star, Wink Up & Potato interviews are all sooo interesting! :D I'll translate them when I am back! No time now^^ But I did a quick partial translation for Only Star! :D
*All scans credit to Supia:)
I selectively picked & translated a few interesting questions (imo^^) from Arashi's interview. And I also translated the "Who is the most ____ in Arashi?" part from Aiba's interview cuz it's a request from a crazy Aiba fan! :p (Yes, YOU! Snow!) It's cuz of her I break my hiatus *glares* XD [I just realised Aiba's part has been translated, but since I've done it already, I shall just post it up^^ This entry has been hiding in my journal since last week actually, but I only had time to finish it today :p]
Well, enjoy!!!
Some questions from Arashi's interview (Asked by readers)
Questions for Aiba
If you can use magic only once, what would you do?
I want travel to the future, 10-20 years into the future. I am interested to know what kind of life I'll be leading, And if it's not good, I'll try my best to change it.
If you become a girl for a day, what would you do?
I'll try out skimpy fashion. Like Wakame-chan's mini skirt. I watch Wakame-chan [laughs].
This is how Wakame-chan looks like^^ *LOL*
Questions for Nino
Now you're busy filming the drama, what's the best way to relax & get rid of the tiredness?
It's still games ne. If I have a day off, I'll wake up at around noon & play till nightfall, for around 8 hours. I don't stand up unless I have to go to the toilet & I don't eat.
Yay! Gamer!Nino is still alive!! His magic tricks are really GOOD but I still like Gamer!Nino! XD I guess his image of an otaku gamer is stuck in my head :p
Questions for Ohno
If Ohno-san have a fishing programmne, what would it be called?
[With a super big smile] "Satoshi Fishing"
This topic never fails to make him smile ne~ *sighs*
In HnA Haunted House episodes, you showed no fear at all. Is there anything that you're afraid of?
Bears & sharks, When you're in the mountains, you don't know when a bear will appear & when I'm swimming in the sea, I'm afraid I'll get eaten by the sharks.
Questions for Jun
I have seen you wearing rings before, how many rings do you have?
Ehh!? I don't know how many I have but there should be more than 10 right? I don't know when to wear the gold ones, so most of the time, I wear the silver ones.
What food would you recommend for this autumn season?
MATSUtake mushroom [laughs]
Jun is being lame XD *Lol*
Questions for Sho
Is there anything new that you would like to challenge?
For now, it's fishing. When I was doing the Olympics reporting for NTV, there was a staff who liked fishing & he said fishing is really a luxurious activity. Well, our "taisho" (means general - referring to Riida) is obsessed with it. I really hope he'll take me to go fishing with him once.
Haha. Ohno has influenced Sho with his fishing obsession? XD *Lol* The 2 ojisans going fishing together! :D Sho has been asking him since Kokuristu... no, during their appearance in MS for One Love too!! Ohno, just bring him along will ya! :D Jun has also been asking Ohno to take him fishing too... Somehow, I find this very sweet, that the members want to try out what their Riida is obsessed with XD Haha.
When you have to stay up no matter what, what's Sakurai-san's way to get rid of drowsiness?
When I was a student, I'll take caffine. But if you drink it at the wrong time, then you can't sleep when you want to sleep [laughs]. So you must find out for yourself when is the best time to drink coffee. But now, because I don't sit at the desk anymore, I can stay awake even if I don't drink caffine.
*LOL* And I realise one thing.... This is especially obvious if you compare Aiba & Sho's interviews. The questions the readers ask Aiba are like more fun, magic & what not... Whereas Sho's questions are more serious XD Seems like the readers are trying to get tips from the Keio boy :p
Questions for Arashi
This is interesting!!!
If you were to join another Johnny's group for a week...?
Aiba: Tackey & Tsubasa. I'm interested to know whether it'll become Tackey & Tsubasa & Masaki [laughs]. Ah! If I join V6, will it become V7 for one week!?
HAHAHA. This really made me laugh! Aiba is such a baka!! XD T&T&M?? V7? *rofl*
Ohno: I want to join Hey! Say! JUMP♪
Nino: Hey! Say! JUMP. I'm not born in Heisei but a junior group would be good.
How come I get the feeling that Nino wants to join HSJ cuz of Ohno :p *giggles* To keep Chinen away XD *Lol*
Jun: I want to join NEWS. Nikishido is there & I wanna talk to Tegoshi. I wonder what he is thinking about [laughs]. As for Kato-kun & Koyama-kun, I haven't really talked to them so I am interested too. Masuda used to do backup dancing for me, so I know him.
Sho: Johnny's Junior. There're many different types of people there & it's fun. I want to experience that one more time [laughs].
If you were to live together with another member, who would you choose?
Aiba: Yada~ (I don't want~). [laughs] MatsuJun. He doesn't seem to be the type that will be at home much so I can have time alone. When he comes back, I say "Okaeri" ('Welcome home') to him.
*LOL* Aiba wants to live with the DoS?? I can so imagine Aiba pissing him off in 3 seconds! XD *rofl*
Ohno: Sho-kun. We acted in a stage play together before & we shared the same dressing room. When it's dirty, it's dirty & when it's clean, it's clean. Our pace is about the same, so I think it's easy to be with him.
Yama pair<3
Nino: Riida. We don't mind each other too much (as in more relaxed). The one whose living habits doesn't suit mine seems to be Jun-kun. He doesn't wake up in the morning [laughs]. And I don't want to be blamed when he is late for work [laughs].
Ohmiya<33333 Too bad Ohno didn't answer Nino :p
Jun: Nino. Doesn't he have a lot of games? So it'll be fun. And basically we can just play games all the time & it's okay even if we don't talk [laughs].
Aww~ Jun wants to stay with Nino but Nino doesn't want to stay with him >.<
Sho: Anyone is fine. I'll lock myself up in the room [laughs]. If I had to choose, Ohno-kun. He goes fishing & he draws, so we can lead our separate lives & go about doing our own activities well.
Ohh! The yama pair answered each other<3 They're both ojisans so I guess their living habits are more alike :p Hahaha.
Ah~ Arashi loves their leader!<3 But no one wants to live with Aiba? *Lol* Poor Aiba~ I am sure the Aiba fangirls in my flist would love to live with you XD Hehe. Snow, Shii-chan, Cindy, etc... :D
__________________________________________________________
"Secret of Arashi (Character ver.)" series - Aiba's interview
First, we asked the readers what they liked about Aiba Masaki?
"Cheerful, fun & interesting person, who puts in his best in everything that he does"
"Whatever he does, he gives it his all. He has the best smile, when you look at him, you'll naturally smile too"
"He knows how to make the atmosphere of the place more lively so that everyone can have fun"
"His mischievious side & his child-like side is very cute" (From Kanagawa, 20 years old, female)
What do you think of these, Aiba-san?
I don't want to have any regrets, so no matter what I do, I'll do my best! And I am very cheerful/ healthy, it's like "I can do anything". But someone younger than me (that 20 years old female reader) said I am cute, I am happy though!
(Usually it's older people who praise younger people 'cute'^^ But obviously not in Arashi's case ne XD They're all so cute!!! :D )
There is this image that "when you think about Aiba-chan, it has got to be his smile!" What do you think of your smile?
There're a lot of times where I burst out laughing. Like when I watch myself on TV, I'll think "I look like I am having so much fun~" [laughs]
What's your direction from now on?
I have always been like this, so it's hard to imagine myself 5 years from now. From now on, in order to create a gap in my image, I'll sometimes show my sexy side & other times, I'll burst out laughing like a baka [laughs]. But I can't calculate & plan this out well (when to look sexy or when to be a baka), so it'll probably not work out. Somehow, I don't like it when I have to look cool [laughs].
Okay, then let's move on to "Who is the most ____ in Arashi?" questions,.
Whose sleeping appearance is the best or the worst?
The best should be me~ The worst is MatsuJun. When we assemble in the morning during the concerts, MatsuJun always takes a long time [laughs].
Who cares/thinks about members the most?
I think they all do it in their own ways [laughs]. But I guess it's still me~ [laughs]
Who has the best reflexes?
in terms of power/ instantaneous reflexes, it's Riida. But I have the fastest legs. I have confidence that I won't lose in this [laughs]. But I have been saying 'me' since just now, it's like I like myself a lot. So I'll go with Riida [laughs].
Who feels lonely easily?
Me... [laughs]. How many times has this appeared already~ Hahaha.
It appeared 4 times already, Aiba! *smacks* XD
Who is the most manly?
Isn't it Sho-chan? He is very muscular, so it's very manly~ [laughs]
Sho does look manly & muscular! ...Just that it's not very useful XD *Lol*
Who is the best cook?
Nino I guess. Since like he is good in magic, he gives me the image that his hands is very nimble.
How about Aiba-san?
I am good at cooking too. 'Me' appear again~ [laughs]. I make delicious curry rice & miso soup. But I'll stick with Nino for the answer [laughs].
5 times...
Who is the most romantic?
MatsuJun~ Because he seems to suit bathrobes & brandy [laughs].
Jun is always associated with bathrobes & wine XD Remember what the boys made him wear on stage last year during his birthday? *Lol*
*All scans credit to Supia:)
