Translation the Television, member messages
To Sakurai from Ohno
Sho-kun, recently has built a good body (laugh). It’s squeezing nicely. When we changed in the dressing room, I saw your body and I thought it was so pretty (laugh). I want the fans to see it too (laugh). Sho-kun always work hard without telling anyone about it. You fight with yourself and challenge everything.
To Ohno from Sakurai
You passed the test to get boat driving license in 2018 and you could do it at your first chance. Aside from the pressure from the TV program (Anishi) which didn’t allow you to fail, I think you’re so great in dealing with the test between your busy schedule.
To Ohno from Aiba
When we were junior, I remember watching your stage play in Kyoto and we talked until dawn at your room. You were a good senior. After becoming the same group, I began to realize that you have a craftsman temperament, and that image never changed. We went to have meals together a lot in 2018 and you also paid a visit to my house. Let’s do it again in 2019.
To Aiba from Ohno
Aiba-chan sent me emails and invited me for a drink every time I was down. Thank you very much. You’re always there for me, no matter what happened. I love that side about you which never changed since the beginning.
To Sakurai from Ninomiya
Sho-kun is a hard worker. You never absent from school during our junior era. You often came to working site with your uniform, I think you’re great, because I was absent from school may times (laugh). Now, you’re still a hard worker and I respect you for that. You always pay attention on what you said during concert and tv program.
To Ninomiya from Sakurai
I often watched you when you did promotion with Kimura Takuya-san in 2018. I turned on my tv on my way as well as on my spare time and saw you there. Both of you bring a new nuance, it was a nice two shots.
To Ninomiya from Matsumoto
We filmed 99,9 and Black Pean at the same studio for two days. We visited each other’s filming site and exchange treat. I think we could do that because we’re members. There’s a different atmosphere when we work outside of Arashi, a little bit strange sensation. I watched Black Pean until the last episode, it was very interesting.
To Matsumoto from Ninomiya
We’ve been together since junior era. Me, Matsumoto-san and Aiba-san. After becoming Arashi, you’ve worked on every detail for our concert, thank you so much for that. You work hard, physically and physiologically, thanks so much.
To Sakurai from Aiba
It’s been 20 years since the formation of Arashi, we have talked a lot about many things. We went for meals many times in 2018, it was fun. I remember how you worked hard and attended school at the same time during our debut. Your dexterity never changed, even now. I’m grateful for your presence. You taught me a lot of things and your knowledge is great.
To Aiba from Sakurai
The memory from 2018, we often made a reservation for lunch in the restaurant where I’m regular to. I asked the restaurant to prepare the souvenirs and looked so happy when I handed it to you. I was so glad to see that reaction.
To Matsumoto from Ohno
Matsujun is so funny (laugh). Recently, he becomes so much free, in a good way. He’s cool and aware of it, but recently, as he turns into an adult man, he began to throw that part of him. When he throws his coolness, he’s so funny (laugh). It was not impressive at first, but then he became so much funnier as the time goes by.
To Ohno from Matsumoto
You’re always tired recently (laugh). You said that you get enough sleep, but still tired. Lately, we’re always talking about how you look sleepy all the time. This is the sudden change in 2018. Perhaps, you’ll hibernating this winter (laugh).
To Matsumoto from Sakurai
When we had a meeting for this year’s concert, I was impressed by your knowledge, you sure knew about a lot of things. You must have studied very hard. For example, when we talked about equipment and lighting, you used some terminologies that no one had heard of. I saw the staffs browsed about them in a rush (laugh). I want to thank you once again.
To Sakurai from Matsumoto
When you went to Pyongchang (winter Olympic), you sent me the picture you had taken. Thanks for the souvenir as well. When we debuted, I never imagined that one of the members would become a caster. I really want to tell Sho-kun back then to play more with your hairstyle while you’re still young (laugh). I personally want to see you with dreads hair, but of course, it’s impossible for a caster (laugh).
To Ohno from Ninomiya
I’ll never go to cold places in this season, but Ohchan loves fishing that he goes to those cold places. Winter is very cold, please wear warm clothes before you go and don’t catch a cold. And, thanks for always creating choreography for Arashi. I know it’s hard, thank so much for that.
To Ninomiya from Ohno
I’m worried about Nino’s body. You have no concern for your health and you don’t pay attention on the things you eat. You always eat the same food which you like the most (laugh). You also don’t do any sports. You’re an adult too, please pay attention on your health (laugh). But that’s Nino’s style after all, perhaps if you do healthy lifestyle, you’ll get sick (laugh). Please stay healthy on your own way.
To Ninomiya from Aiba
Nino and I have a long-term friendship, since junior era when we took Soubu line together for lesson. We have experienced the bad and good ones together, I guess our bond has become stronger as the time goes by. I just want to say thank you. Since the beginning of 2018, we have gone for meals together a few times and talked about a lot of things. Let’s go for meals in 2019 too.
To Aiba from Ninomiya
I was paired with Aiba-san the most (he refers to dance position). You’re always kind. All of Arashi members are kind too. It brings good atmosphere inside the group, I’m very grateful for that. It’s hard to be kind to everyone.
To Matsumoto from Aiba
We were at the same unit when we were junior, we made appearance at the same stage play. The guidance back then has led us to our way today. You were always the diligent one, and that leadership never changed. You always work hard for the concert and also reserve the restaurant for us. Thank you.
To Aiba from Matsumoto
Aiba-kun have been doing everything with so much fun for these 20 years. In 2018, you’ve worked for Koshien, it must have been very busy, but you still did it with so much fun. You love High School Baseball and have learned a lot about it. I think that was very great. It’s very nice to work on something you like.
