2002 was the magazine’s 20th anniversary & Ohno suggested this - “When we’re taking pictures for the cover page later, let’s bite the lemon & do a sour expression”. (Note: Artistes who appear on the cover page of this magazine always hold a lemon) In the 12/08/2009 issue, this topic was brought up.
Sho: Doing a sour expression for the cover [laughs]
Aiba: Wahahaha.
Jun: We’re just fine the way it is! Don’t need to do that!
Nino: Hmm~ Let’s have Ohno-san do it by himself! We’ll just hold the lemon & do it the normal way.
Ohno: Okay, no problem at all!
Sho: Well then, let’s do it right now.
Ohno: [speaking softly] I don’t want to do it after all [cries]
[Everyone burst out laughing]
Jun: Ohno-san should be the ‘comedy leader’.
Nino: That doesn’t change [laughs]
In last year’s “24-hour TV” special issue (released on 27/08/2008), Arashi was asked about “Sarai”, the touching song that everyone sang at the end of the show.
Reporter: Did you practise singing “Sarai”?
Jun: We sang “Sarai” yesterday!
Nino: At five in the morning [laughs]
Sho: We had a staff meeting yesterday & when we finished, it was about 5 o’clock in the morning. So it was like “That’s all for today!” and then we began singing “Sakura fubuki no~♪” Yesterday’s meeting ended in a very touching manner [laughs]
Aiba: It was very touching!
Ohno: We sang that song~!
They sang “Sarai” at the end of a staff meeting right before the start of “24-hour TV”. And because of their practice, we got to hear a wonder performance of the song during the show [laughs]
In “The Arashi Vision” special, Arashi was reflecting on 2004’s “24-hour TV” & they talked about Aiba who cried while reading the letter…
Nino: I didn’t really cry.
Jun: Yeah. I wasn’t that touched anyway.
Sho: Hey! [laughs]
Jun: I just thought it would be more touching if I cried [laughs]
Aiba: You planned it!?
Nino: Yeah, like maybe I should cry a little here?
Of course, MatsuJun was joking to hide his embarrassment. Nino’s quick follow-up was great too!
And this next one is my favourite XD
In the “Beauty Special” (published on 05/11/2008), Arashi was talking about skin care products during the interview & Aiba said something shocking!?
Reporter: Do you guys take special care of your skin?
Nino: If we do, then we wouldn’t have had so much fun playing with these skin care products.
Aiba: Yeah, we would have been like “I know that already”.
Jun: Do girls have all these stuff?
Sho: But when we were trying them out just now, it actually feels quite good. But I usually don’t do anything for my skin either. How about you, Aiba-san?
Aiba: [speaking softly] Just some facial lotion I guess.
Ohno: Urine!? (LOLLL. He misheard Aiba. Facial lotion=keshousui & Urine=oshousui)
Jun: You apply it on your face?
Ohno: What kind of skin care method is that?
Sho: When did you start using it?
Aiba: I said I didn’t!!
HAHAHAHA.
In the “Beauty Special”, Arashi was talking about the ratings for Nino’s lead drama “Ryusei no Kizuna” (TBS)!
Jun: It was amazing. Getting that kind of ratings!
Sho: I thought it was about 60%.
Nino: Me too. I thought it definitely higher than 68%.
Jun: I heard it even went up 84%! But after that, it was around 5% [laughs]
Nino: Yeah. What a pity. Well, that is that [bitter laugh]
In the 01/07/2009 issue, Arashi talked about the filming of “Everything” PV.
Ohno: It’s the first time we sang while standing in a circle.
Nino: It was really embarrassing & we didn’t dare to look at each other’s eyes at all [laughs]
Sho: But I thought Arashi was really cool & good-looking [laughs]
Aiba: Ahahaha.
Jun: You really thought so?
Sho: I didn’t really feel that embarrassed, but I really felt that “Ah, everyone is really cool & good-looking”.
Nino: Thank you~ [bitter laugh]
The interview for the article published in the 01/07/2009 issue took place on Nino’s 26th birthday.
Everyone: Happy Birthday~
Nino: Thank you very much!
Aiba: 26 years old. Let’s work hard to make this a great year!
Sho: Not you! (As in you aren’t supposed to be the one giving the speech)
Jun: Though I’ve already said it my text message, but all the best for your stage play!
Nino: Yeah, I received text messages from everyone. At the very moment the clock strike 12!
Aiba: We went shopping the day before, so I was with him until it was almost the 17th. And after shopping, I texted him immediately [laughs]
Nino: Yeah, so that’s why Aiba-san was the first to wish me happy birthday this year ♪
Sho: Wow, that’s rare!
From “The Arashi Vision” in the previous issue. When Arashi just debuted, MatsuJun said that he was an “Ohno fan”…
Jun: I don’t like him at all now.
Ohno: Hey.
Sho: That’s the only thing that has changed during these 10 years.
Nino: [While comforting Ohno] Things have changed after 10 years.
Jun: I have finally come to my senses!
Ohno: What a pity…
Sho: So you prefer Hey! Say! JUMP! Yamada Ryosuke-kun or something?
Jun: If I had to choose, I would say Nakayama Yuuma-kun [laughs]
Nino: w/B.I. Shadow [laughs]
