[2022.05.15] Otonoha Vol 225 - Indulgence!
There's no lack of member affection in this issue of Sho's Otonoha!
Hello.
It’s me.
It’s warm enough today to bring out a sweat.
How is everyone doing?
As for me…
I went to KAT-TUN’s concert…
And KID FRESINO’s concert…
And Mr. Children’s concert…
I’m indulging in concerts!!
(↑ Arms spread wide)
Live performances are awesome, that’s for sure!
Even though the audience couldn’t cheer, there was the excitement that the artistes and audience created together.
The force of the music that wells up from below.
Feeling the music with my body and freeing my heart in that moment, I once again felt absolute bliss.
(I wanted to pen down my thoughts about each show, but it would spoil the people who have yet to see it, so I’ll refrain from doing so! They were all awesome!)
Well.
As for my drinking session with Matsumoto that I (somewhat forcefully) set up during Aradio.
It was executed brilliantly!
Clap clap clap!
(Well… you could say that we just went for a meal.)
We talked about directing Johnny’s Festival…
And Johnny’s Festival…
Johnny…
Hmm?
Huh?
What did we talk about!!??
I have a vague recollection!!
Well… Before he starts filming the Taiga drama, we just spent time chatting about nothing.
… Priceless.
Well, then.
I happened to hear that Aiba Manabu is airing right now, so let me just add this.
(Honestly, it might be happening right now.)
Let’s turn back time!!!
It was in January, when Arashi came together for a drink.
Aiba: I’m thinking of going snowboarding…
Sakurai: Oh! Seriously? Well, if our schedules can match this season, shall we go somewhere together?
Aiba: Sounds great! Let’s do it!
And as time passed!!!
Our vacation days managed to overlap, so we fulfilled the promise which we made that day.
… with Kotoge-san.
I had so much fun filming the two of them happily chatting with each other, I kept recording videos of them while following them from behind.
It’s strange, when humans repeat the same thing a few times, they feel, “It’d be great if they came to like it too.”
Take a liking to skiing*.
Just kidding.
(No, they were snowboarding.)
