Entry on Nino (2010.08.03)
Why did Ninomiya-kun burst out laughing?
The good working relationship of Team Arashi.
Ninomiya-kun was doing his solo interview.
He was talking excitedly. “It’s time to do your make-up”
His manager came into the room to call him for his make-up
This is what I’m going to talk about in this entry
Manager
: Ninomiya-san, it’s time to do your make-up.
Ninomiya: It’s still fine, isn’t it~~ (Sounding like a spoiled child)
Manager
: Please don’t say that (laughs)
Ninomiya: You shouldn’t rush things. Nothing good will come if you’re always rushing through things~
Manager
: Let’s go together! [Held out his hand towards Ninomiya-kun]
Ninomiya: Wait! What’s with this hand!? You want to shake my hand!? (laughs) [Shakes his manager’s hand]
Ninomiya-kun laughed for a while.
Then he makes his way to the make-up room with his manager
The members and staff have a good relationship.
Team Arashi
Hahaha. Nino's interaction with his manager is so funny xD
Entry on Aiba (2010.08.04)
The solo song highly recommended by Sakurai!
Aiba is embarrassed ♪
Arashi did their solo photo shoot
while listening to their new album “Boku no Miteiru Fukei”.
Sakurai-kun said “I want to request song #11 from disc 1!”
He made a request for Aiba-kun’s solo
While Aiba-kun’s solo “Magical Song” was playing,
“This, really, when you listen to this song, it makes you feel HAPPY!
This is a really good song~”
Sakurai-kun was smiling when he said this.
Later, during Aiba-kun’s solo photo shoot
, we told him about what Sakurai-kun said.
“Really? I’m happy to hear that” He seemed a little embarrassed
about it.
Aww~ So cute! The members really like Aiba's solo a lot xD
During Aiba-kun’s solo photo shoot,
the first song from the album “movin’ on” was playing in the background.
Aiba-kun was counting to the
rhythm
and he started singing along.
He was in high spirits
and the photo shoot was completed in a very fun
atmosphere
Entry on Jun (2010.08.05)
A small hiccup happened during the interview!
We saw Matsumoto-kun’s gentleness!!
For today, Matsumoto-kun’s solo interview
will be conducted by the window sill.
But the sunlight
was really strong and it was very hot,
so we thought of lowering the blinds,
but Matsumoto-kun said “It’s fine, I like the warmth
”
“Let’s get some fresh air, shall we~”
He opened the curtains…
Suddenly, there was a strong gust of wind
“Ah!
” The interview documents were all blown away.
Matsumoto-kun and the staff panicked
The other members came over to see what happened
Matsumoto-kun said “Sorry! My bad!”
He picked up all the documents
and helped us organise them.
Hmm~ He’s so nice!
Speaking of which, amongst the documents,
there was one with information on Matsumoto-kun’s
Fasio commercial
We talked about the commercial during the interview,
“The commercial really has a world view.
This time, I’m like the researcher”
If you haven't seen it, link from the Fasio site :)
He told us how he felt about the commercial.
The staff said “Fasio mascara is really smudge-proof! It’s really good!”
“That’s what it says~ But I’ve never used it before (laughs)”
Matsumoto-kun said this with a laugh!
Entry on Sho (2010.08.06)
Sakurai Sho asked Ninomiya for advice.
He challenged something!?
This day, Ohno-kun was filming his
KFC commercial,
so the menu for today is Kentucky chicken, salad etc
Sakurai-kun entered the room,
“Wah, there’s a lot of food. What should I eat first”
He stood in front of the table for a while.
Then his lips turned into a smile
“Ah, Satoshi-kun ate this for his commercial”
He wanted to take a piece of the chicken but he seemed hesitant
He turned to Nimomiya-kun who was sitting on the sofa.
“Is this spicy?”
He asked this question
“It’s okay. Ah, but it might be a little spicy for you”
“Is that so? What should I do”
He was hesitant but in the end, he challenged eating one piece of the chicken
Entry on Ohno (2010.08.07)
The Arashi members unconsciously want to be beside him!?
Ohno Satoshi’s gentle calming aura!
(Related to Sho’s entry)
Sakurai-kun asked “Is this spicy?” He was concerned the spiciness of the ‘red hot chicken’
Later on, Ohno-kun and the staff
were saying “The chicken is not spicy”
Sakurai-kun happened to pass by,
and he said “Eh!? That is very spicy!”
“……Well, to Sho-chan, that is” Ohno-kun said with a smile.
Ohno-kun seems to really like Kentucky chicken
During interview breaks, he kept eating the bite-size chicken
On the day of the interview, the weather was very good.
The
sunlight
shone into the studio
Ohno-kun sat by the window,
and it seems like he enjoy bathing in the sunlight.
Ohno-kun always gives off a gentle calming aura
no matter where he goes
The Arashi members
all came over to sit beside Ohno-kun
And they basked in the sun
together
This made me go 'aww~' too ♥
I think the staff was talking about this scene (?) xD This picture is so pretty ♥
Entry on Arashi (2010.08.06)
They are close even when they’re on the move ♪
Arashi gather together in the elevator!
After the interview
, Arashi made a move to the elevator
to proceed to the next studio for their next job
The first one to be ready was Sakurai-kun
He was the first one to enter the elevator
Next, Matsumoto-kun entered the elevator too
At this point, they wanted to close the elevator doors,
but from afar, Ninomiya-kun’s voice could be heard “Sho-chan! I’ll take the elevator too~”
To which, Sakurai-kun said “What? You want to take the elevator?” (Mimicking their manager’s voice)
Matsumoto-kun laughed out loud and they waited for Ninomiya-kun.
Ninomiya-kun said (to Sho) "You sound like him!”
He entered the elevator while laughing
“I’ll take the elevator too! Riida says he’s coming as well!”
Aiba-kun and Ohno-kun entered the scene too
So in the end, all five of them took the elevator together.
Thay said “Thank you for your hard work~”
And they made a move to another studio for their next job
Arashi is a really close-knitted group
That's all~! I'll translate the interview for this Only Star later on xD
