Sho was wearing DOLCE&GABBANA...
But he still lost. lol. :D
I just finished watching the subbed HnA's pilot episode of the Mannequin Five segment last night.
And I must say, I think I pretty much have a different taste in men's fashion as compared to the 4 female guests they had. hahaha!~
I'll make an unbiased evaluation (YES, UNBIASED) of the looks they chose [I am assuming that they chose the clothes themselves, since I think it really showed their personalities and it's a bit different from the ones they wear on their other TV appearances (which, as we all know, are done by their stylists.^^)]. The theme was "What to wear on your first date".
Here's how they look:
1. Aiba Masaki's look - Honestly, I wasn't very keen with what he was wearing when he first unveiled it. I felt that the top was too heavy and a bit unbalanced. It looks like he spent too much time coordinating the top part with all that jacket, vest, checkered inner shirt, and scarf and neglected the bottom part. My dad actually has the same pair of sandals he was wearing. hehehe! I would probably prefer if he wore a low cute sneakers instead. But I've seen that look several times on the runway before, so if my date would show up wearing that kind of look, it would give me the impression that his fashion awareness is above average.^^ And also, when he said that his plan is to go to an amusement park, I think the outfit would be good enough.
2. Ninomiya Kazunari's look - I think it's too fashionable and definitely gave off a celeb vibe. haha!~ The choice of color was great because the look itself already stands out, so the subtletly of the color gives the right balance. I would prefer a different pair of jeans though, something that would make him look taller but not awkward. I think the pants he was wearing made his legs look skinny in an unattractive way. With him wearing an outfit like that, I think it kinda limits the place where we can go.^^ (Well, he said it's for a date in Ginza so... :D)
3. Matsumoto Jun's look - I like it. It's simple yet it has "punch". Although it doesn't look like he spent too much time thinking of what to wear (a manly trait, huh?), it is still evident that he's stylish. I like guys who know how to accessorize well. But I am so not into the "jarajara ippai" look. (haha!~)
4. Ohno Satoshi's look - Err, the least I like. First, the leather jacket is totally not working. Oh-chan is a petite guy, and the jacket being oversized kinda emphasized his height disadvantage. The guests equate the leather jacket to being a "bad boy" but I would call it the "lazy look" (another manly trait) and yes, it would go well on a drive date (Even if not on a motorbike as suggested. I would prefer riding a convertible instead. :D) When he changed into the yellow shirt, I think it looked way better (but again, the shirt looks a bit big for him. :D). I realy think that Ohno looks the best when he wears simple clothes like some sneakers, faded jeans, and a bright-colored shirt. He looks fresh that way and makes him look even younger than he already does. :D
5. Sakurai Sho's look - Out of the five of them, I like this one the most (I am being unbiased, I promise!). It looks clean and presentable yet really chic. I think I would be very proud to walk around he streets with him. Just like what Jun said, he looks good when he tucks in his shirt and the clothes drape around his body really well (Actually, everything that Sho wears interests me - from his suits in News Zero to the casual chic clothes he wears in Shukudai-kun. I really think he's a great dresser). All the girls hate it but the pink inner shirt didn't bother me at all (probably because it's my favorite color, and I do believe that not all guys can wear it.) But what's funny about the entire outfit is that I think I myself can wear it. hahaha!~ Somehow, I kept thinking that it has a "cowboy feel" to it and it's all because it reminds me of what Madonna was wearing in her "Don't Tell Me" music video.
See what I mean? hahaha!~
Aiba is indeed a miracle boy. And poor Sho - I can definitely tell he was upset. His expressions when the girls where pointing out the details of his outfit show that he really doesn't agree with them. haha!
Hmm... If I were to rank them from who I like the most, it'll be Sho, Jun, Nino, Aiba, and Ohno. :D
Now, if I were to go out on a date with any Arashi member (lol), I'd probably wear something like these two - a mixture of comfort and style (Okay, I'm 21. But people say I look older because of my height. Damn!~):
Random: That Oshima Mai girl is pretty and has a really good body. She kinda resembles Toda Erika (must be the gums. lol.)
And whatever happened to Yaguchi Mari? She looks pregnant!~
