Making adult females go kyun, we still love [ARASHI]
In the past few years, in a "cute-cool" way, plus a "strong reliability"
Becoming even more beautiful is [ARASHI]'s Aiba Masaki.
It's been 1½ years since his appearance in MISS. This time's interview is
The things he had experience, thought about, his current state of mind and such, that happened in
between, the now Aiba-kun's everything we'll ask. The more and more radiating Aiba-kun's
"Now" can be found here!
With a "Please to be working with you" and wearing a refreshing smile and a straw hat is [ARASHI]'s Aiba Masaki-kun. Slowly and while overlooking the studio, "Last time's (MISS's) coverage was also here right? he whispered. That's right! Even though last time's MISS appearance was 1 and a half years ago, did you remember?
"Just bits and pieces but, things like the staff's feelings or the atmosphereof the whole coverage and such, I do remember." Even though he's accepted interviews by a lot to a countless point, facing each and every one of them seriousle ---, his attitude towars his work can be felt with it.
The Aiba-kun in the past few years, in addition to the activities of [ARASHI], his activities are drama, stage play,, CM, World Gymnastics' Navigator, as well as narration. There's the impression that his solo works will still continue.
"Even though I was allowed to challenge many different things, even amongst them, narration is a new challenge. The documentary of the 6-graders earthquake victims of the East Japan earthquake 'Circle of 21 people ~ the daily lives of 6-graders and a teach affected by the earthquake' where even though they're unable to face the reality to the point that it hurts, even so, they'll grow stronger, and you can feel them and see the forms of the children who continue living and moving forward. Even working up to the point of their elementary school graduation, even after that, what kind of path are they walking on; I'm always curious about it. In addition, the movie 'Nippon Rettou - Ikimonotachi no Monogatari (The Japanese Archipelego - The stories of the living creatures)" even by voice only, I was able to participate. These two are an extremely new challenge for me and even though I don't know about the response yes, it was a very refreshing experience. Certainly, now, I'll continue with my individual works but that's just coincidental. As expected, my base is [ARASHI] after all!"
Amongst the members, with very good relationship is the [ARASHI] we know, but recently, each and every one of your works have increased, and as a group there's a sense of change.
"Everyone, with age and experience, will increase, and there will also be things that will change naturally right?"
During our debut, there is a sense of '[ARASHI] is 5' but, as we advance and meet more people, [ARASHI] became somethings that isn't ours only...... That is probably so for whichever group it may be, as they continue to be involved with more and more people, to be supported, an on those people's feelings will the group ride. Of course, the most important people are the ones that watch over us, to the people who came to our concerts, is how we feel about it.
The [ARASHI] that was allowed to do late-night programmes and the now [ARASHI] are as expected, different. I didn't think that it was something obvious that we will change but when we began to change then, it did became kind of a little saddening, but, this is a good change, I think. Riding on the feelings of so many people, having [ARASHI] fleshed out and allowing us to grow, there's also something like that. Now, 'there are people supporting us, that's why there's [ARASHI]', it has become that kind of feeling."
The surroundings of [ARASHI] gets larger and larger. In that ideal future Aiba-kun envisions, will he continue?
"For me I'm not actually seeking for 'The ideal completed form'. I think the future will be determines with what we do 'now'. Besides, with ideals and goals and such, bringing them around everywhere, the number of things you end up not seeing will increase. If that's the case, that kind of goal is not needed I think. "I want to become this, I want to become that" there's also none of these kind of feelings. That's why for me, it's impossible to become a (company) president (laughs). Even though during elementary school grade 6, my future dream was to become a company president, ne. What kind of president, I don't know though, but there's the image of sitting in a chair polishing a golf club (laughs). It's cos I thought that they're the most impressive people in the worls~"
Said he who treasures the 'now'. Well then, let's hear what his thoughts are as he faces the work in front of his eyes.
"Mainly for work, now, as well as last time, 'for the sake of fun, let's work hard' is the basic. Of course, work is not all about fun, for me, I do not want the work now to be a 'business'. I think there are a lot of people who they themselves bring out the 'business' aspect, but for my case, it's not so. That's the kind of personality I own, ne (laughs).
That's why, slowly, I'd like to appreciate each and every minute. With whatever kind of momentum, if I'm able to stop at many places and do my job, I think that'll be nice. But even though I said that, just earlier, an 'I really live in a hurry' kind of feeling was present. 'One year is so fast' kind of, ne.
Even though I often drink alcohol with my dad, last year in summer, I said something like "I feel like I'm living so fast" to my dad, it seems. After that, the next time my dad came, he brought along a home garden set. When I ask him "Why did you bring it?", "No, no, no. Since I bought it at the Home Center, let's grow it and eat it," he said. "Eh I'm the one growing it?" and that's how it is, even though I grew it (laughs). Because my dad loves the Home Center, it might have been a pattern of just coincidentally buying it and bringing it over, but even during that time, things like family, and greenery, really helps a lot I think, ne. Vegetables? I ate them! Initially, I went "It's nice, it's nice" whilst eating them but, since I applied my affection, eventually, it became a pity to eat them up. But I did properly finish up my food (laughs).
Even though such a thing happened, as the year proceeds, we'll think about a lot of stuff, and now moves forward and forward in a fast pace, but I think, let's live life."
Even in our work, there are also things that make us work very hard and make us stand still, and even things that, because we don't want to lose, we stand still. 'Don't rush' and with that decision, we think that the now him has quite the couragebut, that kind of anxiety, how does Aiba-kuan swallow it...
"When I have work, I don't think as such though. It's especially so when you're persuading. I realized that even for myself, I no longer just rush head on...... For me, last year, my health got bad and I was hospitalized for a week. I caused a lot of people trouble and when I got up and left my hospital bed on my own and watch the television programmes, I couldn't say anything, or rather...... "If it's true, I'm supposed to be over there" I thought. That's why "for the sake of thorough preparedness, you can rest amongst work" is what I came to when I thought about it.
For allowing me to appear in the works I want to do after getting discharge, I am really grateful to a lot of people. When I was hospitalized, Leader sent me mails, with a true feeling of like a girlfriend, it made me happy (laughs)"
Up till now, his own anxieties and worries were put very little into words but he, since last year, it feels as though the mechanics to speack what's in his mind and what's inside his heart has been increasing.
"From last year, I didn't really look into that part, I think. Be it on TV or at concerts, I let everything out on the table, and there wasn't any preparation or effort in the process of letting it come across or rather, things that are necessary to be said. Even now I think so but, recently I was able to do so with words.
It's not that there is anything that changed in my consciousness if there was something that changed, the stop to live rushing is probably the reason behind it or something ne. From there, things that are created, there are a lot I think."
In a standstill, possesing the strength, he speaks of anxieties, and gaining freedom and relations more than ever before. In the last year of his twenties, grabbing his chance to change his way of life is Aiba-kun. Have you ever thought about life from here on?
Up till now, I didn't really think of anything, recently though there's somewhat, but "I wonder if it's like this" kind of thing also appeared. Mainly my thoughts are, as expected, my body maintenance's importance. That's why LOHAS* (laughs). --- Even though I said that, it's cos humans are quite selfish ne. Even seekingLOHAS and organics, it's because there's busy times, that's why we want that king of life is probably it I think. If I was told to not do anything, my heart will go pokan**~ And it might cause a hole. Now, that balance of mine is in a really good feel. That's why, there isn't the desire to want to do something. I wonder if this is what it means to know fulfilling (laughs).
If I were to say one thing that I strongly want, maybe it's taking a leisure trip. I'd go to a warm country, and get really dark, and then come back. Then, "You're burn out of season, ne-" I'd get scolded (laughs)."
With the review of your way of life, has there been a change with your marriage views?
"Last year, my brother's child was born. It's a girl! Even though I bought and gave them children clothes, there were some high brand items, the really expensive ones. Even though they'll wear it for just a while, the price is around the same as with adult clothes that, there's also that kind of society education (laughs). Then, when I went yosh~ yosh~ *** to the baby, I thought that children are, as expected, cute. But if I'm asked if I know marriage life, it's "I don't" (laughs). If there's a lot of things that we're supported, there are also things that we lose, I still haven't thought about wanting to get married.
Capturing the pace of the way of life that he came to himself is Aiba-kun. But from April onwards, his new drama [Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri] will start, and in summer [ARASHI] is the Main Personality for 24hour Television, continuing with big works. Even in the midst, slowly take a breather, the 'now' is important for the calming him, feeling a sense of reliability somewhere. Aiba-kun, who always delivers a smile with a surprise, from now on, etched in our hearts, we'll be expecting with a LOHAS miracle.

** pokan: sound indicating the disappearance of something
*** yosh~ yosh~: something you say when you're stroking someone's head to calm them
Aiba-kun, [ARASHI] member's fashion check please!
MatsuJun (Matsumoto Jun)
"At home, when watching [Arashi ni Shiyagare], MatsuJun was making plans to buy a leather jacket. Then after some few days or something, MatsuJun was wearing that leather jacker. "Ah, that guy's the watch TV type" was what I thought, is the kind of episode (laughs). Even after that, he's wear it countless times, I thought he's actually properly wearing it (laughs) Also, MatsuJun and my stuff overlaps quite a number."
Leader (Ohno Satoshi)
"For me, as a souvenir, such as with things like the country name written across the chest, it's decided that I'd buy that kind of souvenir T-shirts but, Leader is the only one that properly wears it casually. 'It's indeed of Leader, thinking of the members'' making me happy (laughs). The other members didn't even wear it at least once (laughs). It's definitely cultivated from dancing. But, I'll continue buying it without giving up!"
Sho-chan (Sakurai Sho)
"Previously, on Sho-chan's birthday, I presented him with a fashionable T-shirt. After that he really got into it, he'd wear it a lot of times. I was really happy. This year's birthday too, I gave him a T-shirt. It'll be good if he wears again, but, my gifts are basically just T-shirts (laughs)."
Nino (Ninomiya Kazunari)
"Amongst the members, there's the feel that he's the most that wears colourful clothes. He has a lot of cute clothes, --- but, me saying that is a little gross, right (laughs). Then, while I was passing by, coincidentally, I saw a cute hat that suited Nino and I bought it and gave it to him. It's like a game character's hat though. Also, we've never overlapped, not even once (laughs)."
Impression of today's clothes are......
Today's shoot is 'Fashion Page sense' is the theme. That's 3 coordination's impression! "Marine colour or, butterfly necktie, is rather cute I think, but I don't normally wear it so it's rather refreshing. In private, I don't wear flashy clothes. After all, wearing the butterfly necktie, everyone got a shock right (laughs)."
To the fans
Even though I always say this so, I'm really very grateful. If we hold a concert, you'll come, if we release a new song, you'll listen, even when we're challenging something new, you'll look over us...... really a word of gratitude.
To that kind of everyone, in order to respond to your feelings, I'll do a good performance. I'm sorry for this slightly stiff message this time.
