THE DIGITALIAN LIVE TOUR 2014 - Q&As - Aiba
What would a "Digitalian" be like if it actually existed?
Oh, it would totally be like a "Sunday morning cartoon" (laugh). And it'd have a special move where it shoots out numbers, like... bam bam bam bam!! It'd be a hero. That's the sort of image I have. It's pretty strong, but more so than a living person, it feels more like a "creation". As for size, medium height and medium build... pretty ordinary. But it's SUPER strong!
Ever had a moment that made you think, "This might just be "Digitalian"?"
Let's see... maybe something like greenhouses, for example? I'm trying to grow some summer vegetables in the winter for a TV program right now, and it's in a one-room apartment. I went to a farmer's place for some filming and it was incredible. They had this long set of LED lights lined up, and the temperature was being regulated too... I was like, "Wow, is this how they're growing them~!?". Isn't that kind of "Digitalian"? Greenhouses nowadays are just amazing. You can grow anything in them!
A brief comment for yourself from 15 years back
You might be thinking, "I can't see what's lying ahead of me at all...", but I think not being able to see anything is actually just right. It's precisely because you can't see anything that you'll work hard, and even if I tell you "Your life will turn out like this"... I don't think it will. Being clueless is actually perfect, don't you think? I'm sure you'll do your best in your own earnest way. So I guess it all boils down to "You're fine the way you are right now".
A brief comment for each member
For each member? Let's see... (quite a long period of reflection) I don't really feel like it's the sort of thing where we have to string words together and say this or that to each other. I mean, of course the feelings are there, you know? But... it's hard to find the appropriate words out of the existing vocabulary in this world. I feel grateful, and I have that confidence of knowing we've come this far together... but I don't feel like the words to express these feelings actually exist. I don't think about what I'd be doing if I wasn't in Arashi, and if it wasn't us five then I most likely wouldn't be doing this. I'm not being cheeky or anything, that's just how strong my feelings towards the other members are. We truly have seen so much together over the years. I really am glad to be a part of Arashi, and after these 15 years, I've grown to like Arashi more and more. I hope that whatever scenery we might come across down the road will still be seen together. So, I don't know... life isn't all about rising up, you see. I'm sure there will come a time when we'll descend back down, which is why I hope to also see what that's like as a group of five when the time comes.
What is Arashi like to you at present time?
It hasn't changed, be it now or in the past. It's "Everything to me right now".
