From the
Oristar blog on 10.01:
The item that Sakurai-kun gave Matsumoto-kun?
Talk about the uplifting words he said to Aiba-kun!
In collaboration with Arashi’s TV show, Himitsu no Arashi-chan, Sakurai-kun came and spoke with us!
Actually, Sakurai-kun’s interview was featured in the 9.17 edition of Oristar, as he came right after Matsumoto-kun’s interview (a/n:

here)
In Matsumoto-kun’s interview, he talked about how Sakurai-kun gave him a blanket for his birthday. We asked about that in Sakurai-kun’s interview.
During the drama Tokujou Kabachi, Sakurai-kun had a beloved blanket, and the one he bought Matsumoto-kun was of the same brand. “Since I use the same kind, it should be useful~” he said. His choice in presents shows that he knows his members. Even we could feel his kindness and thoughtfulness!
He always talks about his thoughts on Arashi’s shows, but when we asked about Aiba-kun calling him “master” on Mannequin Five, he looked in Aiba-kun’s direction, who was sitting slightly far away, and narrowed his eyes. However, he said something respectful (check it out in the magazine)!
Matsumoto-kun gave high praise of Sakurai-kun’s solo, “T.A.B.O.O,” so when we asked him about it, he became slightly shy and told us about his impressions while performing.
When asked about the other members, he would glance at them because the interviews were conducted in the same room, and then proceed to talk. We could feel their closeness through his stories.
Shibasaki Kou will be on the cover for this magazine, but Arashi and Sakurai-kun’s interview and posters are also included.
