I love Yama-pair way more than I’m willing to show. Here I’ve compiled some episodes on Sho regarding Ohno’s art exhibition Freestyle in 2008 and how it first came to be, where Sho played a big part in making it happen. Not just fanboying over a talented friend as regular people who do nothing else besides saying “wow that’s so nice” (I’m so ( Read more... )

These 10 years are filled with “Thank you!”s. I’m sure I’ll still be laughing 10 years from now.

Speaking of Aiba Masaki-san, he’s “a person of smiles and laughter”. We often see him laugh on Arashi’s variety programs way more than other members. The ever-cheerful Aiba-san instead shows his tears during ( Read more... )

Following the showing of the film “Yatterman”, Sakurai Sho-san has been very busy with his solo works during the beginning of this year, also starring the drama “The Quiz Show”.

I would like to take this opportunity to show our determination for our next step.

I feel like I’ve translated this before, but I can’t find it so I did it anyway LOL Please do not repost without permission.

“Gratitude” of these 10 years and “Determination” of moving towards tomorrow.

Tennen karaoke talk led to Aiba finding out that Yama-pair once ditched him to go for karaoke, and Sakuraiba showing their butts all the way in the rehearsal video recorded for Nino.

Sakurai: This concert ties up with our album “Here ( Read more... )

2-hr radio show All Night Nippon hosted by Ohno Satoshi and Sakurai Sho. With the harmonious dynamic of this duo, the Big Brothers’ Team showed how they’ve got each others’ backs working together since they were the oldest and covering for the younger members who were underage when they first debuted. Having both touching and funny elements, they ( Read more... )

In my 10-day gourmet trip, I’ve eaten and snacked from no less than 40 different places of all kinds of genres throughout Osaka, a little of Kyoto (1/2 day), and Tokyo (flight transit). Here, I’m just going to share some of the eateries I went which are somewhat related to Arashi XD If you’re interested to go to any of these shops, you can easily ( Read more... )

This was so much fun! The boys shared their childhood nicknames, Nino mentioned being bullied in school, Nino made a mistake during performance, Ohno finally did something leader-like for Sho, Ohno and Aiba barged into Nino’s room… and, Ohno talked a lot! Please DO NOT repost without permission.

Sakurai: Everyone in Osaka, good evening! Good evening ( Read more... )

I suppose this is one of those MCs that the boys ended up being lectured by authorities. Nearly the whole span was about Ohmiya SK and Ohmiya SK themselves denying that they are Ohmiya SK, not to mention the overall flow of conversation didn’t really connect well. Nonetheless it’s still interesting to see how they were before, and how much they’ve ( Read more... )
