Arashi ni Shiyagare [150101] - Leaders Gathering XD
I just have to post this coz this is super interesting. So Ohno Satoshi
was the host for this part of Arashi Ryoukan. He got super nervous when the staffs told him his guests are 'Leaders', and they are not the usual kind of leaders. Poor Ohno got nervous a lot around them.
[Leader to Leader Heartfelt Talk]It's Sakamoto Masayuki!!!! (V6), Joshima Shigeru (Tokio), and Koyama Keiichiro (NEWS), complete with the ryoukan yukata. Btw, Joshima-san looked like he just got out of bath (I think he was) and Koyama-kun really need to wear his yukata properly if he didn't like to be responsible for the massive death of his fangirls. I'll get to this later, lol.
So after taking commemorative photos of proper leaders of Johnnys group,
(Janii~~zu!)
Ohno then was set to take their order, which was fish dish <3 This's gonna be good!
Okay, so I skip straight to the kitchen where Ohno was butchering (lol) the fish with the other four watching. See the white noodle-like thing under the fish? It's raw daikon/radish goes well with sashimi (at least for me) because the slightly bitter taste complimented the jelly-like structure of sliced sashimi really well. Oh yeah, it's also delicous deep-fried, too <3.
Ohno kinda struggled separating the fish from the back bone... So Sakamoto-kun showed him who's the boss, err... I mean, he showed him how to do it properly... which is harder than it looks if done without experience.
(Oi, Don't look at me!) Lol
Oh yeah, fyi, Sakamoto is hosting his own cooking segment on a morning program (Fuji TV's Non Stop). It's called 'One Dish', and if you're a fan of cool men cooking delicious food, then go watch it! There's also an episode with him in a staring contest with a kitty in the market. Lol, not really...
HE DID IT SO EASILY!!!! OH THE LUCKY WOMAN WHO'LL BE HIS WIFE IN THE FUTURE....
*coughs* Ok back to the recaps. Since the part after this are all about them enjoying the fish (oh, and Ohno apparently went around to get Sakamoto-kun's favorite drink, itaru? couldn't hear what he said properly, sorry) and doing toasts with each other, I'm going to skip right to the part that's the most interesting here.
Sakurai Sho (in the little box at the upper right corner) commented what exactly was in my thought the first time watching this, "This's gotta be interesting~"
Basically they just talk about a member of the other group who they really want to be a part of their own group. I'm especially paying attention to Ohno's answer here...
First up is Tokio's Joshima Shigeru.
Unexpectedly (for me), he wanted V6's Okada Junichi because he really admired his work in Eien no 0. He praised Okada-kun a lot here and papa Sakamoto-kun even added in his two cents about what people around him think about that movie. Speaking of Eien no 0 and Okada, I wholeheartedly agree about how the two of them feel after watching the movie. It's a masterpiece and possibly Okada's greatest achievement to date. If I'm not wrong, Okada already got two Best Actor award for his role in Eien no 0 (Nikkan Sports and Hochi Film Awards) and even got double nominations in Japan Academy Prize awards for Best Actor (Eien no 0) and Best Supporting Actor (Higurashi no Ki). The Japan Academy apparently will be announced later this month >.< *crosses fingers*.
Moving on from Okada Joshima, next we get to hear that Ohno wanted Tokio's Matsuoka Masahiro for reasons I couldn't understand.
I half expected Ohno to say he wanted Okadacchi (a reference of 2013 Golden Week VS Arashi where Okada guested as part of Library Wars casts) in his group because apparently they were pretty close at the short amount of time they were in dorms together (before Okada was moved into the hell room that was Go and Ken's room, lol >.< for debuting as Coming Century/V6). Speaking of Ohno and Okada, Ohno was supposed to be part of Kamisen/V6 in the beginning? I really wonder what would it have been were Ohno part of V6. Does that mean Okada would be in Arashi?
I think, if Okada were part of Arashi, he wouldn't be as successful/known as an film actor as he is now because Arashi's group activities are... numerous. He might be in a lot of dramas I guess, which is not always a good thing, because dramas oftentimes put popularity and rating first, and rarely acting skill. Meanwhile, I feel for Ohno if he were part of Kamisen. He would get bullied a lot XD. No one can handle both KEN and GO at the same time. No one except Okada and that's only because he's the chill tempered kind of guy who really can't get annoyed over anything. Oh yeah, and he spazzes out a lot so he probably wouldn't realize that he's being pranked. Ohno would... pout (lol) and not speak with them for the rest of the day, which is cute <3.
We didn't get to hear about who Sakamoto-kun wanted in their group (such a shame...) but Koyama-kun insisted he's fine with his current members. Considering what have happened with NEWS from the time of debut to present I kinda expected that answer.
(Everything's OK)...such a good Leader T^T
DUDE, FIX YOUR CLOTHES OMG!!!
*laughs* please ignore the above screencap.
Suddenly Joshima-san brought up the topic of how Sakamoto-kun (and Tonisen) had it the hardest during the time of V6 debut.
I feel bad for Sakamoto-kun (and Nagano and Inocchi too) but I couldn't help laughing the whole time they were talking about this XD. So the album jacket for V6 debut single (Music for the People) apparently focused more on the three Kamisen boys and Tonisen's photos were... super small in comparison.
I know Inocchi got slightly annoyed with this from his 2009 SCP interview. But it really couldn't be helped since it's part of marketing I guess and Kamisen are younger and were introduced (as Coming Century/Kamisen) way earlier even before they debuted as V6... Around that time Tonisen were conveniently called 'Adult Group'? Lolololol >.< . Inocchi even got angry with Johnny when he was told that him, Nagano, and Sakamoto were to be called 20th Century. Johnny even said Coming Century represented the upcoming century?/trend in music and that got Inocchi even angrier coz didn't it mean that they (20th Century/Tonisen) only got 4 years (it was 1996 when Tonisen were first introduced) to go while Kamisen still had 104 years...
Lol, sorry I seem to steer off topic there. The next scenes doesn't offer me anything terribly interesting to recap. But you get to hear how Sakamoto-kun quit Johnny's after turning twenty and even worked as salaryman for several years before going back into the agency. He said it was partly thanks to Tokio's Kokubun Taichi he was able to come back (thank God for that).
The last part has Joshima and Sakamoto-kun in a karaoke duet of a song I don't recognize. THEN all present Leaders sang the song Hero together (I like Joshima's voice here) only they changed the lyric 'Ima koso kimi wa, hontou no HERO' into 'Ima koso kimi wa, hontou no LEADER'!!! Such a fitting song for the best leaders ever led the best Johnny's group to date <3 <3 <3
At last, Ohno presented them omiage and the already developed photo they took at the beginning... very touching.
I love them all (even though I hate Johnny's) and their groups. They're the real idol group (of Johnny's) with real talent imo. The recent groups debuting after NEWS are kinda... messy in both member arrangement and group sense/style. I dunno how to describe it but you just have to compare the performance quality of the senpai group with the younger group... particularly V6 coz they're really the only group in Johnny's with the un-Johnny's-like presence that is really easy to love. I know several people who refused to indulge in anything slightly Johnny's because their idol appearance is too... overwhelming it feels fake. It's like, they're trying too hard to fit their image into a certain type.
So yeah, I think their point is... Johnny's shouldn't let greenies debut just because they have cute face or something like that. What's more, don't make them singer when apparently they suck at singing (I'm not pointing finger to any group here). I fear for the future of Japan music industry (and Johnny's) if this thing keeps up.
