THOSE OUTFITS, THOSE WIGS.
It took me until just now to realize Nino is pulling on Ohno's wig here. HOW MUCH ELSE AM I MISSING BECAUSE MY EYES ARE DAZZLED BY THOSE OUTFITS, THOSE WIGS.
Oh, Sho and Nino, you and your HAVING MORE FUN TOGETHER moments, I adore you.
Ohno seems to be having less fun.
I would like to shake the hand of the person who designed these. They will live forever, burned into my brain, and except for the wigs, I LOVE THEM. They are just so... well. There is no describing them. That is what the caps are for.
Oh Sho and his enthusiastic hips! I love that he's going HEY HEY HEY with each bop.
I love you dorks. ♥
WHERE DOES ONE EVEN START. (PROBABLY MATSUJUN.)
I am weirdly (specifically) weak to when Nino's feet aren't touching the ground.
Even the poor back-dancers are stuffed into wigs.
Oh How's It Going, capping you is hard. WHATEVER: OHNO'S ARMS ARE BARE.
OH MATSUMOTO JUN. YOU ARE THE EMU OF MY SOUL, SOUL.
SHOOOOO.
I don't really understand how, but it feels like Nino's wig might be too big for him? ALSO, HIS OUTFIT MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE.
I LOVE COLOR-CODED ARASHI.
And Jun. I really love Jun.
This is (purposefully) opposite of Arashi's precise dancing columns of later years, but it has a charm of its own. Bright colors flashing, flailing limbs! (Plus a flash of Nino-nipple! With that outfit, I just assume one is always showing to someone, somewhere.)
An outward-bopping rainbow!
Sometimes the wigs are a plus. I am just weak to color-coding, so. Their silhouettes!
A little extra joy in their steps, because!
It's time for the wigs to come off! (ALSO, NINO, AHAHA.)
Such wig-free bliss!
Sho demonstrating hand-waving from side to side, so enthusiastic!
And now they have balls to throw, and Aiba's pointing at his chosen recipient. CUTE. THAT PERSON PROBABLY DIDN'T GET IT BUT THEY DID GET A MEMORY. (PROBABLY SEVERAL PEOPLE DID, THINKING IT WAS THEM. :D Aiba's point, like a shotgun blast of happy.)
Jun's little outfit was not really built for such exertions. (OR WAS IT, MATSUMOTO JUN.)
Aiba's outfit seems designed make his legs look longer, and Ohno's to make his look shorter. HMMM.
MAYBE OHNO'S IS MY FAVORITE.
Anything even tangentially related to baseball PLUS NINO makes me so happy. (HAS ANYONE EVER PITCHED IN A YELLOW-ORANGE HAREM OUTFIT BEFORE, AND WILL ANYONE EVER DO IT AGAIN. Also: THROWING WITH HIS LEFT HAND, WHY IS THIS HOT TO ME, HM.)
This cap I was like, why does Jun's vest only have two buttons.
BUT THIS CAP I REALIZED: THERE ARE MORE, HE JUST DIDN'T BUTTON THEM. OH MATSUJUN. <3
Such different styles of crowd interaction. <3<3<3
I DON'T KNOW WHY I KEPT THIS CAP. It's all wrapped up in my intense fondness for younger Jun, as well as not PARTICULARLY WANTING TO SEE HIS RIB-CAGE.
But Nino's hardly any older and I'm like, LOOK AT THE WAY HE FILLS OUT THAT OUTFIT.
I just don't know. What would he be here, 18, 19? That's not so bad, phew.
Bright colors, sparkles, color-coding, Arashi!!
Aiba's leaping throw!
SHO AND HIS ARMS.
SHO AND HIS ARMS.
SHO AND HIS ARMS AND HIS LOVE FOR NINO.
AND THEIR UNENDING DORKITUDE.
LOSERS. HERE'S MY HEART ON A PLATTER.
Yes, it was totally necessary for them to look at each other while they did that choreography, because their dork-love is true! (p.s. the angles of Nino's body as he contorts! This will be a plot point again later. ... "plot")
WELL DONE, GOOD SIRS.
EVERYTHING BUT ALSO: SHO'S BELT.
Nino's in the air again!
YOU AND YOUR LITTLE YELLOW BELT LIGHT UP MY LIFE. YOUR DANCING IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS. <3
SO MUCH HAPPENING, SO MANY FEELINGS.
Sigh, I love it when they dance. (And also when they don't dance. And also when they do ALL THE THINGS.)
YOU AND YOUR HAIR AND YOUR SWEAT AND YOUR FACE.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH, SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY.
Not flashy with fire or water or explosions or anything, but gratifying and enjoyable to watch as is!
SPEAKING OF ENJOYABLE TO WATCH.
I AM FILLED WITH APPROVAL. Slide further, little outfit!
OH SHO. YOU DELIGHT ME.
The flare around Ohno's hips! I was like, it almost looks like the top half of his body is riding a magic carpet.
AND THEN THE ENDS FLOATED UP A LITTLE FURTHER AND IT TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE THAT. I LOVE IT. The tiniest, sparkliest magic carpet, dangling down from which: Ohno's legs.
Getting funky now, Sho/Neen!
Competing dance interlude!
Aiba, Ohno, and Jun start us off under their three spotlights!
Pointing over there, must be Sho and Nino time!
Show us your moves!
I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
I adore Sho, but when it comes to twisting bodies and limbs in an enthusiastic dance such as this one, ... I just watch Nino. If Nino wasn't there, I would watch Sho with MUCH DELIGHT, I love how Sho dances, but it's NINO, DOING A VERY NINO-SUITED DANCE. UNFAIR ADVANTAGE, NEEN.
WHY IS THIS SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME.
SERIOUSLY. I FEEL A LITTLE FAINT, SURELY THAT IS AN EXTREME REACTION TO THE ANGLES OF NINO'S BODY (OR IS IT)
Time for everyone to dance together, whee!
To Sho and Nino, dancing together means DANCING PLUS LOOKING AT EACH OTHER AND THEN DANCING WITH EXTRA OOMPH. I am filled with approval.
Lots of limb-flailing, always a favorite with me!
AIBA: STILL MYSTERIOUSLY LONG.
Home stretch now!
WOOO, JUMP.
It's unclear why I thought this cap was necessary. WHATEVER: ARASHI.
SPIN. (ALSO I THINK OHNO HAS SOME UNBUTTONED BUTTONS, TOO. YES.)
I LOVE IT WHEN THEY JUMP. Capping it just adds to the joy!
Ahaha, for some reason I feel this is the perfect cap to lead us out of this sparkle. Okay, Aiba is just walking, but Ohno and his point into the next song! Jun and his ABSOLUTE JUN-NESS. LOVE.
♥♥
Song!
And now for Top's assignment, let's see!
Time Capsule! eeeeeeeeeeeee, I know what concert she's doing, YAY.
