"Arashi is an ordinary idol"- Aiba Masaki
I am going to be talking about something Aiba Masaki has said in one of
their shows some years ago, "Arashi is an ordinary (low-mid class) idol" and I plan to
prove just how wrong this statement was!!
*note: this information was taken from blog.naver.com/che0324 in 2009.
Therefore, it is very out of date and may be the case that the products mentioned
are not being used by the Arashi members anymore*
Proof #1: Sakurai Sho
Known to be the young master of the wealthy Sakurai 家
Model: New BMW 3 Series
Price: $35,000~55,000
**The price may vary from the prices in the US and Japan
Yes, the infamous BMW. Although not the higher classes in the BMW
series, it really looks like a car that a news caster would drive *-*...
Model: Louis Vuitton IPOD Case White Monogram Multicolor
Price: Approximately $300
even little accessories like this, the infamous Sakurai Sho-sama does not
hesitate to spend.. An Ipod case MORE expensive than an ipod itself.. In Korean idioms,
there is this saying, "the belly button larger than the stomach" and this is a perfect example..
Model: BOSS QuietComfort2(QC2)
Price: Approximately $3850
He's even picky about his headphones.. ultimate noise cancelling and comfort;
even the simple act of listening to music on an ipod already costs $4000.
Model: PANERAI Watch
Price: $3000~7000 (Not all Panerai watches fall under this price range)
The infamous brand, Panerai, with a lot of wealthy customers all around the globe.
The model Sho is wearing is one of the lower line models. But even as a
Lower line model, it can be anywhere from $3000 to $7000.
Personally, this is my favorite out of the other two I will be mentioning!
Model: IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Automatic IW371713
Price: Approximiately $15,000
I have already mentioned this in a previous post, but here it is again; the IWC
Pilot's watch. the model Sho is wearing, the price of an automobile.
on his wrists. while he happily goofs around. I wouldn't be able to to goof around
like that if I had something like that on my wrists.
Model: Breguet Type XX Transatlantique fly-back chronograph 3820ST/H2/9W6
Price: Approximately $12,000
And yes, here is the truely infamous BREGUET watch. Watches from this brand are at a
minimum $5000 and some even go up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Comparing to that,
Sho-kun is only wearing the lower line of this brand. But still.. even if it's a lower line..
WHY IS IT THE PRICE OF A CAR.
Proof #2: Ninomiya Kazunari
Said to be a kid, and has a stingy, cheap side to him, but likes luxurious items...;;;;
Model: chrysler PT Crusier Cabriolet A/T
Price: $32,500
Just as most people know it, the stingy Ninomiya Kazunari's car isn't the most
luxurious.......compared to the rest of the Arashi members' cars.... $30,000
for a car, I'd say is pretty luxurious enough..
Model: ROEN Jumper
Price: Approximately $1500
The letterman jacket that is already a hot issue among Arashi fans in Korea.
Did you really need to pay $1500 for a jacket? Your image of being the
stingy, not-money-spending is all the lie, right?
Model: +8 PARIS ROCK Snow White T-shirt
Price: Approximately $120
At first, thinking it was only a pretty shirt, after knowing the price, put many fans
in shock. The cheapest of the things that were mentioned in the post, but
$120 for a shirt?...
Model: ROLEX Yacht-Master
Price: Approximately $9000~10,000
The easily noticable shiney rolex watch on Kazu's fragile little wrists..
So you might ask, "I thought he was stingy. Why does he have a Rolex watch?"
And my answer to you is: that watch was a gift from the wealthy young master,
Sakurai Sho....... Claiming to be an ordinary idol.... giving gifts that are overwhelmingly titanic.. (what?)
Model: CHANEL Suit
Price: Approximately $2000~$10,000 (as the exact model is unknown, this price range shows the
cheapest to the most expensive brand of Chanel Suits)
The suit he wore to "A Letter from Iwojima" stage. Wearing the famous Chanel brand
suit! The cheapest Chanel suit is known to be $2000... And again, this was a gift from the
young master.. Sho-kun must have a money tree growing in his back yard..
Proof #3: Aiba Masaki
The very person who claimed Arashi was an ORDINARY (low-mid class) idol
Model: porsche Cayman NEW 2007 A/T
Price: $69,720
Here it is. Everyone man's dream car...! Thanks to Masaki for getting his picture
taken semi nude infront of this baby by Friday magazines LOL
Model: Louis Vuitton Bracelet
Price: Approximately $700
Masaki has been seen wearing this bracelet, not only in this picture but other instances as well.
This little thing is $700... and he likes to wear it.. If it were me, I'd be scared of losing it..
or getting it dirty.. or breaking it......
Model: Louis Vuitton Multicolor Burcle Belt Black
Price: Approximately $610
Another Louis Vuitton. It's known to be one of Aiba's favorite brands..
Yeah, I like this brand too. I just don't have the money to afford anything I want
from this brand.. The last bag I bought, I had to save up... and now I'm broke.
But this guy just... buys whatever he wants.. Maa-kun, please be considerate
of your parents working very hard at Keitarou and hold back a little on buy luxury items!
Although it's not like he's asking for money from his parents.........
Proof #4: Matsumoto Jun
Not much known about Jun, but his face says it all, "I like luxury"
Model: Land Rover
Price: $80,000 (May be different from the prices sold in Japan)
A car that I didn't imagine Jun would ride. I imaged something more sporty. But
if he likes it, hey, go for it.
But, there is a rumor that he lives in one of the richest parts of Tokyo and
bought a rediculously expensive villa/house with a single contract, ie, in ONE payment.
Model: Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.
Price: Approximately $270,00~540,000
Rumored to be Jun's car before the Land Rover (not sure if it's accurate) Now this looks more lik Jun.
But.. we ARE talking about a Lamborghini here.. about the price of a HOUSE...
Was this man really capable of buying this kind of car?? WOW ..
The gap between me and Jun has just gotten wider......................
Catagory: Club
Name: Ageha
Location: Tokyo, Shinkiba
Known to be one of Jun's favorite places to "hang." A club known for many famous
celebrities hang out places, and also one of the largest in size. Stage, sound, equipment,
lighting is all said to be the top quality here in Ageha. Of course it would be. Jun wouldn't
just walk into any old club.. of course he only settles for top quality, right??
Proof #5: Ohno Satoshi
The member of Arashi that gave Korean fan's the most shock.. A car you say? he didnt
get his license for the longest time.. there isn't much known about our leader, though.
He says he isn't really into accessories and what not.. but... that necklace that is lightly positions around his neck..
isn't just any old necklace..
Model: Loree Rodkin Half Moon/Star Pendant
Price: Approximately $3210 (As of May 27)
One pendant for $3000!! but he didn't have just this pendant around his neck. He had
the skull pendant and cross pendant.. and plus the chain.. probably well over the price
of a car if you put that all together.. T_T Rumored that someone gave it to him
as a present.. who would give that kind of present... is it the young master once again?...........
And there you have it. The inaccuracy of Aiba's coment, "Arashi is an ordinary (low-mid class) idol."
Knowing all this just widens the gap between me and Arashi.. just reminds me of how
out of reach I am.. just how much of a different world we live in T_____T
But Arashi wouldn't be 嵐 if they didn't live their lives as spectacular as their name, right? :)
their shows some years ago, "Arashi is an ordinary (low-mid class) idol" and I plan to
prove just how wrong this statement was!!
