HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKURAI SHO!!! Arashi would not be Arashi without you. You are a precious gem of a human being and you make me laugh basically every week, which is as attractive as the rest of you.
As with the other members, it's time for 34 moment of Sho as a celebration of his 34th birthday! If you have other moments to contribute, please feel free to in the comments.
34 SUPER(BOY) SHO MOMENTS
1. Sho knows how to fan like us!
2. And Sho works hard to entertain us too (Bonus: this gif not sped up)
3. Also maybe enjoys smelling fruit
4. That time he was a vampire
5. SHO BUTT (have we ever been so lucky to see him fail at a thing?)
6. Speaking of SHO BUTT
7. When he was unreasonably cute and fluffy on VS
8. THE MOST DAPPER GENTLEMAN
9. Why? The world may never know
10. When he became a beautiful most most dame Arashi and then hugged Ito-san
11. When he sent us all an erotic selfie
12. He's sort of great with selfies in general
13. His disguise segments with other people were hilarious. The ones with Mirei and Satomi were especially adorable too!
14. And also hilarious was his face when he got caught the first time
15. Sho Disguise Fashion: the Mona Lisas hat
16. Sho Disguise Fashion: knit beanie, bright colored glasses, perfect smile
17. When Sho pushed Satomi way to save her from getting noticed and the Shiyagare staff played "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic and I laughed for 5,000 years
18. Nino and Aiba love Sho and don't want to see him bullied so that time they helpfully crashed his hotel room to give him camo print clothing off their own bodies
19. When he dared to chop Jun's shoulders, but actually Jun was fine with it
20. How much Ohno loved to film Sho behind the scenes of Digitalian
21. Terrorized by a frozen balloon
22. Classic Sakurai art (I'm still shaking my head at 'Fin' for the end of his flipbook)
23. Pulling off that bowtie for New Year 2016
24. Adorable Sakurap Duet with his kouhai at Johnny's Countdown
25. When Sakamoto stopped him from nearly chopping off his hand (and was semi-horrified about the rest of Sho's cooking "skills")
26. When he decided he was going to brave a winter storm for a day of skiing and onsen-ing
27. His epic game face
28. Maybe a less intimidating game face
29. And some other kind of face entirely
30. When he reminded us that he loves food ♥
31. When he helped his baba nuki opponent into his chair
32. Engaging in silliness with plus one guests
33. GO GO SWEEPER SO HYPE
34. And when he got so into Ai wo Sakebe that he smacked himself in the face with his tie ♥
HONORABLE MENTION: Because I had no decent screencap - when Sho was dubbed "Cherry Shoko in the Sky" and all was well. ♥
(Brief note - I have counted backstage of Digitalian as 2015 stuff for each birthday post because that's when it was released, hope that's not too confusing :D)
I absolutely adore this man and I hope you had fun looking back at a year in Sakurai :D
