Weekly-ish Arashi watching!
Here are some caps of Arashi things I've watched in the last week(-ish)!
In watching order, roughly, and just whatever caps I happened to take. The unfinished ones at the bottom are ones I'm still in the middle of watching. <3 (I am really not very good at watching things straight through, even when I adore the thing. It gets so I watch things over several days sometimes, but it works for me.)
ARASHI.
Jun and Ohno run around a castle town to try and win their princess's heart! Mago Mago Arashi 70, 2006.09.02.
YES, I HAD TO KEEP BOTH OF THESE CAPS.
Leader just seems like he's having so much fun sometimes. I love that sparkle in his eyes.
fjkdslfjalsk Jun picking on Leader, and Leader's sulkiness over it, and Jun's amusement when Leader points it out! (THIS HAPPENS AGAIN LATER IN THIS POST.)
OHNO IS SO GREAT WITH EVERYONE IN THE WORLD, SAYS MY HEART.
Oh Jun and his giant ring. ♥♥
mmmmm, yes. It feels right to have Leader in this position looking out into beautiful scenery, especially with the enticing way that fabric is tied around his torso~
UMAI. WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING OHNO SATOSHI, WITH FACE.
OHNO LITERALLY PHONING IN HIS PRESENTATION. I KNOW HE HAS TO USE THE BOARD FOR THE CAMERAS EVEN THOUGH THE PRINCESS GUEST LADY CAN'T SEE IT, BUT IT STILL MAKES ME LAUGH.
Juuuuuuun. ♥
THEIR FACES. ALSO, JUN'S AMAZING SHIRT.
This is a period in which Sho is particularly attractive to me, especially with his hands between his legs like that~
UGH, IT'S SO GREAT. THIS IS OHNO'S FACE WHEN HE'S CAUGHT OUT NOT KNOWING THE ANSWER EVEN THOUGH HE'S ON THE SIDE OF QUIZZERS, NOT QUIZZEES, BUT MOSTLY IT'S OHNO'S FACE WHEN HIS BANDMATES ARE TEASING HIM AND HE'S LAUGHING AT IT AND HIMSELF TOO.
Arashi work in a ryokan and provide A++ hospitality to their guests! (WHERE ARE MY CAPS OF AIBA AND MOMOCLO; I KNOW I HAD SOME.) Arashi ni Shiyagare SP, 2015.01.01.
SERIOUS-FACE OHNO SATOSHI.
Augh, Nino was such a perfect choice to do this awkward/great interview. ♥ (Ando Miki~ ♥)
I would watch a weekly show where Nino interviews lady guests and sighs over the reasons they're dating people other than him. It could become a non-scandal way to announce that you're dating someone; go get interviewed by Nino and have him whine amazingly for you.
Sho and Nino looking at each other and having glorious faces.
AIBAAAAA.
Oh sparkle, when it's noticed that the awesome little girl ~proprietor of the ryokan~ hasn't eaten yet, look at Arashi's faces, I just. Intent on her in such a solicitous way!
And then Sho carefully feeding it to her!!!
fjkld;asfjals AIBA AND THIS LADY HAD ONE OF MY FAVORITE SEGMENTS. And so did Aiba and Momoclo, so he really won my heart this episode~
BUT I MEAN, REALLY.
THEY'RE JUST SO CUTE.
And wholeheartedly enjoying each other!! Into it.
ADORABLE.
This whole Leader part was gold. MORE.
The finale of the air band competition, and the premiere of Fight Song! G no Arashi 28, 2006.04.19.
THEIR HAPPY FACES. ♥♥♥
Ridiculous and sublime Ohno Satoshi.
JUN'S FACE LOOKING AT RIDICULOUS AND SUBLIME OHNO SATOSHI.
SHO'S FACE REACTING TO RIDICULOUS AND SUBLIME OHNO SATOSHI.
THIS IS HIS JOB.
scribbles one million juntoshi fics in my heart
I just.
AGAIN, JUN PICKING ON LEADER, AND LEADER'S SULKY FACE.
Nino, much missed and beloved~~
ALSO I AGREE: FIGHT SONG IS SO ARASHI-LIKE. I can't believe this was the first time they ever performed it! IMAGINE BEING IN THAT CROWD AND THEN BEING A FAN UNTIL NOW AND HAVING SEEN THE FIRST EVER PERFORMANCE OF FIGHT SONG.
Arashi present up-and-coming innovations for 2015 while looking ridiculously beautiful! 2015 Sakidori Hakurankai Arashi Yohou, 2015.01.03.
What is it about Nino with his hands over his face?
OH OH, HERE WE GO, OHNO IS PRESENTING. Here he is placidly reading his lines, as planned~
BUT THEN JUN BUTTS IN WITH A QUESTION. JUST WHAT DOES "AMUSEMENT" MEAN, OHNO SATOSHI? (I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT, ALSO, THAT IT'S SHO WHO ASKS FOR A DEFINITION, FJKDLSA.)
Ohno takes a moment to regroup/sulk/possibly-scour-his-cards-for-clues.
And instead of answering, complains at Jun for bringing it up, BECAUSE HE'S THE BEST.
JUN IS BEMUSED AND FOND AND COMPLAINS BACK AT HIM.
ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE MEMBERS! I love their whiny-toned comments here, compounding Leader's conundrum~
Leader waffles, and Jun tries to clarify, and also Jun has a face and it is a face that loves Leader!! (HM, I NOTICE AIBA'S FACE LOVES LEADER AS WELL.)
IT'S JUST SO GOOD. HE'S SO GOOD!
THE REST OF ARASHI CONCUR.
Gosh, beautiful people with faces.
OMG AIBA IN A PICKLE, THE BEST:
SHO TELLING HIM TO JUST GO TO THE VTR ALREADY, SAVE YOURSELF.
All of their transitions to VTR were so good, fjldskfasklj, but omg look at Aiba's expression after he does his dorky thing!! MY HEART.
Simple caps of beautiful people I love.
HERE JUN IS ASKING IF ARASHI WILL BE OKAY STANDING WHERE THEY ARE WHILE THE ROBOT-DUDE FIRES. NOTICE THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH IN A STRAIGHT LINE.
NOTICE HOW MUCH CLOSER NINO IS NOW AND HOW HE IS SUBTLY USING JUN'S BODY AS A SHIELD. !!!! THE BEST.
But once the firing is over, it's Nino who leads the mocking charge~
UGH THIS PART IS SO GOOD, THIS WHOLE PART WHERE OHNO IS TRYING TO MOVE THINGS ALONG WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT WHERE HE LIVES SO HE JUST KEEPS SAYING HOW HE DOESN'T HAVE A HOME, FJDSALKFAJDSKL:
I DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE.
I HAVE NO HOME.
I'M TELLING YOU I DON'T NEED ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THE REST OF ARASHI'S FACES DURING THIS WHOLE PART!!! (SCROLLS BACK UP TO LOOK AT THEM ALL OVER AGAIN.)
You perfect, beautiful troll.
Faces!
JUN AND OHNO HAVING A MOMENT LAUGHING TOGETHER.
UGH IT'S SO GOOD. I HOPE NINO CHOSE SHO AS THE ARASHI MEMBER TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS, ALSO, ESP. CONSIDERING THE VIDEO THAT PLAYS DURING IT.
Nino and Sho are on the same comedy wavelength and I love it.
Obviously Sho is being amazing and obviously Nino's face is adorable but ALSO LOOK AT OHNO AND HOW MUCH HE IS LAUGHING.
The moment right before Sho realizes Nino's betrayal. Nino can't let a New Year special go by without a commemorative viewing of the best movie ever, after all!
SHO POST-BETRAYAL. AGAIN: HOW MUCH OHNO IS LAUGHING.
A series of caps entirely for the little video reactions up in the corner.
BECAUSE THE'YRE PERFECT.
AS ALWAYS.
ONLY REGRET IS THAT THEY BLURRED OUT THE PAST VIDEO REACTIONS IN THE BOTTOM CORNER.
BUT STILL WHAT WE'RE GIVEN IS SUCH GLORY, SO I DON'T CARE.
It's perfect.
SHO'S PERFECT.
Nino and Ohno become grandkids, ride around in a horse-drawn trolley, and make food of dubious quality! (Also Nino wears a tank top all episode so there are lots of caps with no purpose other than that.) Mago Mago Arashi 73, 2006.09.23.
(Does anyone have the intervening Mago episodes, 71 and 72?)
I would be perfectly satisfied if every episode that had Ohno in it opened with a closeup of Ohno's FACE like this.
LOOKING AT EACH WITH GREAT AMUSEMENT AND FONDNESS JUST BEAMING FROM THEIR EYEBALLS.
To create a storm throughout the world, send two little weirdos off into the countryside to befriend old people, with cameras. I mean, I feel like Mago, and stuff like Mago, HAS to have been a significant factor in how big Arashi became... I just, Mago, to me, more than any other show, just shows with every minute of every episode that these are five likable, kind, charming people who will do any work they're given with enthusiasm (if sometimes also complaining esp. by one Ninomiya).
... Wait, what I meant to discuss was how close they're standing to each other and the look in their eyes. YEESH, FEELINGS.
Ohno is a dork and Nino has to laugh so hard that he laughs, hard, and then takes a breath just so he can laugh harder.
Yeah... a lot of these caps just... glazes over and runs out of words
Some of them are here for multiple reasons, like this one with Nino's excellent face and complaining about horse poop, but any cap with Nino in a tank top is going to be here at least 51% because Nino is in a tank top and I am weak to his arms and related areas.
OHNO IS REALLY PROUD OF HIMSELF FOR HIS FIRST CHOP THROUGH CABBAGE.
I probably took twenty caps of this half a second.
Sometimes I want to get tattoos that just say things like NINO'S FACE.
Ohno, Ohno's face, Ohno's everything, Nino lounging on the floor, Nino's face, plus the whole vegetable stir-fry situation of hilarity... still 51% or more because of Nino in a tank top, his arms, and that peek of chest...
I have a lot of feelings about Mago. I have a lot of feelings about our five hardworking idols going and helping elderly people out, people who've worked really fucking hard all their lives (pretty much without exception?), and these two strangers come and be their grandkids and pay attention to them and their work and take it seriously and learn about it, but also act like real grandkids and tease them and lie around on the floor and drink with them, and then they also make a FUSS over these old couples, ask them stories about their lives and relationships and draw them out............... I JUST. I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT MAGO!
... whiplash from renewed attack of bare-armed Nino feelings.
Drinking tea~ looking at old photographs~ Nino's arms~ feelings of many sorts~
OHNO FOLLOWING AFTER NINO AND CALLING HIM KAZUNARI MULTIPLE TIMES AND HOLDING ONTO HIS ARM WHILE THEY'RE WALKING.
IT'S TOO GOOD. IT'S TOO GOOD.
I loved that Nino reacts so strongly to what seemed, to me, to be an obvious question (whether Nino wanted to try driving the horse-drawn trolley) and THEN he doesn't get the horse to move EVEN ONE STEP.
49% Nino referring to Ohno as Satoshi-kun; 51% Nino in a tank top.
STOP IT, YOU BEAUTIFUL JERK.
Abrupt sniffling over Ohno crouching down with his temporary baachan and doing her work with her, work that she does all the time but usually, I bet, alone, and now here's her charming weirdo of a grandson to help out and chat with her~ I mean, I'm not making it out that this couple had a Lonely and Miserable existence before Arashi came and changed it forever, or whatever, just... the simple sweetness is enough without making it a huge thing, but I do think that simple sweetness is there, and really strong in these Mago grandparent episodes. ♥
I just like them, okay. ♥
(MESS OF FEELINGS)
THEY INCLUDED THE TERRIBLE VEGETABLE STIR-FRY IN THE PICTURE.
Sho calling Ohno Satoshi-kun, just normally~
SCRAWLS YAMA PAIR FIC IN THE MARGINS OF MY NOTEBOOKS AND ALSO HEART
FJKLSDFLJKA OHNO AND THIS DESERTED ISLAND WITH NINO THEME. ♥
AIBAAAAAA, SHOOOOOOOO, AIBA AND SHO! Aiba's grinning, happy face as Sho smacks him!!
SUDDEN WASH OF JUN FEELINGS.
Jun imagines a lovey-dovey situation out loud and everyone over-reacts awesomely, but also: WHY ISN'T JUN WEARING ANY SHOES??? ♥
An adaptation of an Agatha Christie book I love; a television show in which there can be fifteen people on-screen and I still stare at one small idol off to the side! Orient Kyuukou Satsujin Jiken SP part one, 2015.01.11 (MID-WATCHING).
I'm really enjoying this special so far! I don't have anything else to say about these caps except: NINO. ♥
Arashi play games and have faces! VS Arashi SP, 2015.01.03 (MID-WATCHING).
Nothing particular about this cap, I Just always love Arashi in traditional Japanese clothes. AND WE GET SO MUCH OF IT AROUND THE END OF THE YEAR.
Picking on Aiba in a way that makes him feel loved in a senpai/kouhai way, yessss~
Sometimes my mind just splutters helplessly over how beautiful Aiba is, GOSH.
These clothes are really full coverage except when Arashi move around, and then there's constant flashes of skin (like Ohno's leg here). I'M SO APPRECIATIVE.
And this peek down Nino's sleeve~
Reactions to their fun plus-one!
Maybe I'd get a tattoo that said NINO'S FACE and then like two weeks later I'd have to go back in and have them add IS A MASTERPIECE.
... I feel like I was thinking about something but now all I can do is look at Jun.
SHOOO, YOU AND YOUR GLORIOUS SHO-FACE! ♥
THE END.
Also today I went to Goodwill and in the foreign language section I found a Japanese magazine from 2000 and inside are pictures of Arashi I've never seen before (I don't think??) and it has a five member crosstalk and a whole section where they answer all these questions and IT COST ME 99 CENTS AND I ALMOST CRIED IN GOODWILL, CRIED OF GREAT JOY. The end. ♥
In watching order, roughly, and just whatever caps I happened to take. The unfinished ones at the bottom are ones I'm still in the middle of watching. <3 (I am really not very good at watching things straight through, even when I adore the thing.
