[translation] H October 2005 - Q&A
In this segment, all five of the guys answer a set of three questions about the summer holidays.
ENQUÊTE ABOUT SUMMERTIME
Q1. From your memories of summer so far, please tell us
① "I was sad memory"
② "That was fun memory"
Q2. To you, what is a song that you start to want to listen to when it becomes summer?
Q3. Summer 2005, please tell us what it is that "I want to do just this, no matter what!"

① In primary school, I couldn't say my times tables. I was called to school and had to give up my summer holidays. I had a man-to-man practice of my times tables with sensei.
② Going to Kujukuri with my friends when I was 18 was really fun.
A2.
Diana King's "Shy Guy". They played it on the radio a lot when I was in primary school.
I want to listen to it in summer.
A3.
I want to go to my hometown's festival and bear the portable shrine! I love festivals!
Matsumoto Jun
A1.
① Something that happened in the summer holiday of my second year of primary school, because of the car.
That's about the only sad memory.
② Since starting this line of work, of course concerts are fun. When I was little, I played baseball, travelled with my family, went to the countryside, a lot of things.
A2.
Beenie Man featuring Janet Jackson - " Feel It Boy " and "One Love" covered by Yuri Chika. These songs are extremely summer-like, so when it comes to summer I listen to them a lot.
A3.
I want to go to the beach. Since I think I can go alone as much as I want, I want to go with a large group.
Also, the theme'll be to see how much I can move in the morning.
I want to do something like not staying up late, coming home early and sleeping properly, and going to the beach or the park early in the morning.
Ninomiya Kazunari
A1.
① Since concerts are fun memories, and the past few years we're always doing concerts in summer, I don't particularly have any "I was sad" memories.
② Again, I think it's the concerts......
I don't have any memories at all of travelling when I was a child. From morning, I played baseball the whole time. Since I did it everyday, summer is when you become the best at it.
A2.
It's an Arashi song (Since we have concerts......).
Also, recently I listen to things like one of the slightly older albums by Fumido.
A3.
I wonder if it's a holiday? I want to sleep, you see.
I want to laze around, at home.
Ohno Satoshi
A1.
① Summer is always fun so I guess I don't have any unpleasant memories.
② Before we became Arashi, and after we became Arashi, summer is in any case, concerts. Of them, a concert I did outdoors in Hokkaido is still on my mind. When I was little, I guess, just normally travelling with my family.
A2.
Le Couple's "Hidamari no Toki". (The Time of the Sun)
I really like "Hitotsu no Yane no Shita" (Under One Roof) so I watched it a lot, and I bought the CD in spring, but I listened to it all the time up to summer.
A3.
I want to draw pictures, but earlier I just drew a huge one... Other than that, of course, it's concerts. I want to sweat, and go all out. [TN: Literally says 'complete combustion']
Sakurai Sho
A1.
① None in particular.
② Going to my grandmother's house every year for about two weeks. I often sat on the veranda while looking at the scenery of the trees and the lake and above it, the chocolate-vine growing. Also, in summer I always went to Izu with my family so those are really fun memories.
A2.
Rather than a song I want to listen to in summer, it's a song I remember when it gets to summer but MisuChiru [Mr. Children]'s "Seesaw Game" and TRF's "BOY MEETS GIRL". I remember the training camp the soccer club had in the second year of middle school, it was really hot and tough. Though in October of my second year of middle school, I entered the agency, so in the end that turned into my last training camp.
A3.
If I have a holiday, it doesn't matter where but I want to go overseas. If I don't have a holiday in summer, it seems impossible though.

There are a few more segments in this magazine, so I may translate those too~ Also, if there's anything you want translated (that no one's done) and can link me to a source for, I'd almost definitely do it. :D
