Arashi: 13 out of 26

AN EXPLANATION IS NEEDED FOR THIS STORY: so I actually wrote this way back last August (holy crap has it really been that long?), in the middle of Arashi's 10th year anniversary activities, because I kept on thinking about how Nino has spent over half of his life in Johnny's.

You have gone on the perfect amount! You have articulately summarized a lot of my feelings towards RPF/RPS. I mean, to the extent that Arashi (or any celebrity, really) behaves a certain way on TV that differs from their "true personality," you can make an argument that they're perpetuating the fiction of themselves, so it's not so much RPF as it is just... PF. LOL well no, it's still RPF, but I hope you know what I mean.

The thing with real people, too, is that there isn't this canonical text from which to base interpretation off of. Say one person watches a lot more Arashi shows than someone else -- they could have a better grasp of the members' on-screen personalities, whereas someone who reads a lot more magazine interviews would know more about the members' personal lives. This is kind of something I really appreciate about Arashi: their personalities differ enough that you can afford to be a little generalized with how you portray an individual, and they can still be immediately recognized from the others. Ah, such are the pleasures of having a well-balanced group. :)

LMAO look at us, intellectualizing it up in here. aw yeah Arashi meta, we know where it's at
