A02. (a) Initially, we only requested him to sit on the balance ball. But he said “Balance ball? I can sit on it for a very long time!” And indeed, he pulled it off easily and it seemed too easy for him. So we changed the challenge and had him lie (on his stomach) on the balance ball instead.

A14. (a) This was surprising. And the reason is “I only have ‘GANTZ’ now, 27 volumes of it.”
A15. (c) "Even if I could time travel into the past, there isn't any particular period of time that I want to go back to. If I had to choose, maybe the year that I was born. Or even last year is good too (laughs). Even if I go back to the Edo period, there are no cellphones, video games or cars over there. It’s really inconvenient. Isn’t that kind of life kind of troublesome?"

A17. (a) Aiba (b) Sho (c) Jun (d) Nino (e) Ohno
Their explanation/comments:
Aiba: Of course I do think about work. But besides that, what else is there? Food I guess (laughs).
Sho: Work takes up about 50%. The remaining 50% is divided into: leisure 30% and food 20%.
Jun: Work is about 60%, music 10%, exercise 10%. The “others” category include things like food, drinks, movies, books and etc.
Nino: Because recently, I have been doing nothing else but work, work and work. Besides the days where I have record Arashi’s regular programmes, for the rest of the days, I’ll be in Kyoto filming “Ohoku”. During the bullet train ride, I sleep throughout the whole journey. And I have no interest in food either. During filming breaks, I chat with the staff.
Ohno: 3-4 days ago, I got really hyped up with my manager and I ended up buying a radio-controlled car. It’s the type where you have to assemble it yourself. But the parts are really small and intricate, I’m having difficulties with it (laughs). I made one before a long time ago, so I thought I could do it this time. But apparently that’s not the case. If I don’t do it seriously, I can’t get it done. So I shall put it aside for now, until I finish filming my drama.
A18. (a) Ninomiya/Matsumoto (b) None (c) Aiba (d) Ohno/Sakurai (e) None
Why did they choose that particular pair of glasses? Please tell us the reason!
