I leave so early...5am is too early to be awakeXD Wish me luck o finding my way through the massive train stations and airports, I'll be like a little lost kitten for the first few days I think;P Yes, tomorrow's finally the day, I'm so excited right now (that may be because of the iced cappuccino...XD) Here's half my bon voyage present:3 I felt bad that I cna't help while I'm gone, so I wanted to do a little something extra>_< Twice the fun for half the priceXD (half of free is still free...^^;) Don't mind me...XD
First, the Shukudai-kun from 07.04.30 with karina;P
Ogura: Arashi's Homework begins~! So! Who is it...today? Hmm?
Nino: Yeah Ogu-san.
Aiba: We've finally got a good one today.
Ogura: I-
Aiba: I think Ogu-san will love this one, probably.
Ogura: It's a skinny girl.
Aiba: An incredibly light person ne.
Sho: Perfect style, getting a lot fo work as a model and actress, a spunky 23 year old. (writing)
Nino: Isn't that term kind of old? (writing)
Sho: it's not old.
Ogura: It make you want to get inside with her ne. (writing)
Sho: What are you saying??
[writing: Quickly running wild]
Sho: It's just a little bit further Ogu-san. Well then, this is today's guest, go ahead~! Wait a minute, wait
a minute!
Ogura: Cute~! Cute.
Sho: Wait a minute. The chiar is kind of different than usual. (writing)
Ogura: Wasn't it just a bench for last week's Nankai Candies?
Sho: For those two ne.
00:53
{the announcer says today will have you drooling, as new delicious cuisines from Nagoya appear. And Karina
goes on a strak of criticising Arashi. Furthermore, Karina's forbidden private life is opened for all to see.
Ogu-san is sunk as well! Homework begins, begins}
1:26
Sho: Karina-san, right now you and Matsumoto-kun are-
Karina: Yes.
Sho: In a drama together.
Karina: Yes, um, in a drama called [Bambi~no!]. (writing)
Sho: Bambi, how's he doin', our Bambi~no? (writing)
Jun: Your favor please;P
1:38
{the announcer says that having moved to Tokyo from Hakata, MatsuJun's character's sempai is Karina-san. With
her and Satou Ryuuta and Ichimura Masachika-san there are quite a few well-known members of the cast.}
1:50
SHo: What is Matsumoto-kun's atmosphere like on the set?
Karina: I think he's probably shy. (writing)
Sho: Oh, so has he talked quite a bit with you, Karina-san?
Karina: Well, lately he's come to talk with me bit by bit.
Aiba: At the beginning there was nothing at all? (writing)
karina: At the beginning he probably hated me ne. (writing)
Jun: I didn't hate you! Because there's an incredibly chilly atmosphere I have to really watch out for the
places to begin a conversation. In terms of my impression, she's like this kid. (writing)
[writing: Karina = Aiba?]
Sho: Wait...
Jun: It's kind of surprising right? It's kind of surprising. It's kind if surprising-
Aiba: Saying 'ehhhh?' is messed up! (writing)
Jun: She has some similarities with Aiba's point of view ne~. (writing)
Nino: Eh, so by saying point of view, you mean she's an idiot?
[writing: Karina = Aiba = idiot?]
Sho: So, well then, le's move along to the first homework, Ogu-san if you please!
2:35
{Ogura reads the homework, which is to submit deliciously different Nagoya food, and he surprisedly says Nagoya?
To which she replies that it's where she's from. And then she asks why everyone says 'ehhh';P The announcer
says that before the homework Karina-san will introduce some easy, anytime anywhere Nagoya food, which he's
looking forward to. Ogura mutters abgout it being from Nagoya and Sho says they'll open it, Ogura asks what it
is and Jun says it has to be a lieXD Rice and tofu? Karina says it is rice and tofu, and Nino wonders if she
was slightly poor;P She then picks up a bottle and says it's the secret weapon, Ogura asks what it is and she
says it's 'squeeze bottle miso'.}
3:12
Karina: It's the so-called [put it on miso, add it on miso]... (writing)
Jun: This is the best part?
Karina: That's right, that's right.
Sho: Karina-san, what is it you want to eat after this?
Karina: this is the way it's named ne. (writing)
Aiba: Then let's try it.
Karina: Yes.
Aiba: Let's try it. Ah, that's how it is.
Ogura: You put that much squeeze miso on it? The rice too!
[Announcer: She says that if you have this you can make anything delicious Nagoya food, but is it true?]
Ogura: If I were to say what color this is, it's like hacchou miso ne.
Aiba: That's right ne. Okay, I'm going to try this ne.
Sho: Will that become Nagoya flavor ne...
Nino: it's Nagoya food, Nagoya food.
Karina: How is it?
Aiba: This...I can't keep eating it, but if someone brought it out I'd eat it. It's got kind of an oily flavor...
Jun: Ah, I like it. (writing)
Aiba: Ah, you like it?
Jun: I like it.
Ogura: This would make your job easier to do huh.
[writing: Calculating guy]
Jun: Wrong wrong wrong!
Aiba: Your skilled huh~!;P
Jun: There's things like preserved vegetables. Like dried seaweed. It might be close to this. (writing)
Ogura: The tofu...
Karina: The tofu is as is.
Ogura: The tofu is as is. It's fairly sweet ne. (writing)
Karina: That's right.
Ogura: If you crushed peanuts and mixed them in it would make it delicious. Ne, I think it would be delicious,
miso peanuts.
Sho: This is super duper tasty. (writing)
4:25
{the announcer says now it's the homework submissions, is there deliciously different Nagoya dish that will
make her happy? Nino says this is the first one, and Ogura asks if it's Nagoya's kishimen and Nino says it is
kishimen, and that he thought they'd like to have it made right in front of their eyes. Jun asks if she's ever
eatne it and she says she's had this with miso and everyonr laughs, Nino says then it becomes Karina cuisine and
this is not Karina cuisine;P Then he says the cook has come, and Jun says that it's stone cooked. Nino says it;s
stone cooked kishimen, and Karina says it looks delicous. Nino says he's going to start and Jun says this'll
surely be delicious, while Nino insists they watch;P Aiba says it looks delicious, and Jun says the smell is
tasty. Nino says it;s made from super spicy curry so it's called stone cooked spicikishimen, which he has trouble
pronouncing so he repeats himself;) Jun asks if the curry is spicy and Karina starts to reply when Nino says
it's okay;P Sho tells him not to answer, and Karina says she likes spice. Nino says it has kimchi and red
cayenne chili powder in it, so it's very spicy. Jun says the smell is great and everyone agrees, so Nino tells
Karina to dig in, which she does, as Aiba encourages her. Ogura says it'll come right at her, and Sho repeats
this puzzledly;) Kairna takes a bite and says it's spicyXD Sho asks if it's that spicy, and she says it's
delicious, spicy but delicious.}
5:50
Nino: That's an Aiba-san style comment ne;P (writing)
[writing: Aiba-related after all?]
Nino: Like 'spicy, tasy!'
Aiba: I say 'spicy, tasty' right.
Jun: I wasn't wrong huh.
Nino: You weren't wrong. Aiba-san, if you could just have a little...
Aiba: Yes.
Ogura: He's always slurping it down ne.
Aiba: Ah, spicy~! Oh, tasty~! (writing) This is tasty!
Sho: Isn't that a complete copy? (writing)
Nino: That's a complete copy.
Ogura: Tasty.
6:10
{Nino says next, inside the box is something you'd find at a bar. Both Jun and Aiba ask what the heck it is,
and karina says she knows. She says it's probably cheese, and Nino says she's right and that it's mozzarella
cheese with Hacchou miso. Karina says it'll definitely be delicious.}
6:30
Ogura: Miso again?! (writing)
Karina: This is the ebst for a drinking snack ne! (writing)
Aiba: I see...then you've eaten it ne? (writing)
Karina: I haven't! (writing)
Sho: Sorry, sorry.
Aiba: Karina, Karina. (writing)
Nino: Wake up Karina. (writing)
Karina: Sorry. Um, I haven't eaten any of this.
Nino: Something like this...?
Karina: At home I'd put miso on cheese. (writing) So, I can pretty much imagine ne.
Aiba: I see. I see ne.
6:55
{Nino says the cheese is from Italy, and is marinated in Hacchou miso, mirin and sake for 3 days, and Ogura
says it's marinated? to which Nino replies that it's a marinated item. Karina says it's an incredible good smell,
and takes a bite, then grunts. Jun says 'here we go', Nino asks if it's really coming, and Ogura asks if she's
cryingXDD Aiba asks what happened and Nino asks if she's lost her breath, and she says it's delicious. So they
all have some, while Karina says it's kind of like a 'huh? cheese?' feel to it. Ogura says that it takes some
time to taste it, and he understand how Karina felt.}
7:32
Nino: The next one ne, is dessert, ice-cream - eh? Don't drink tea you two! (writing)
[writing: You're in the middle of working!]
Nino: You're on tv! Ice-cream, a three flavor set. Don't drink tea!
[writing: You as well ne]
Nino: You;re on tv, keep that in mind. Here is the three set, tada!
[Announcer: After this surprising Nagoya ice cream makes an appearance!]
Nino: Here is the three set, tada!
8:22
{Everyone exclaims surprisedly, jun asks what it is and Nino says ice cream, then says the first one is chicken wing ice cream.
Ogura repeats it in disbelief, Jun says 'so that means there's meat in there?' and karina says she's heard of it, Nino asks if
she knows it, Jun repeats it, and she says yes, but she's never eaten it. Oguras picks up the second one and says no matter how
you look at it it's chawan mushi (special broth dish), Nino says it's perfect for Nagoya, kishimen ice cream. Jun says it's
a real challenge;P Ogura asks what the last one is, and Nino says it's Nagoya's specialty, miso katsudon on ice creamO_o Aiba
is like 'pork?' Jun asks if there's pork in there, and Karina says she thinks it'll be delicious, Nino says yes, pork ice
cream. Then Ogura says to pick which one she likes, Nino confirms that it's the chicken wing ice cream, and Jun comments
that she's incredibly full of curiostyXD Nino says the ice cream is done maginificently, and she says that at first it tastes
likes vanilla, but then when you bite into it there' chicken. Then she says that she wants people to try it, because it's
something you can't imagine;P }
9:14
Nino: Then -then give it to him, give it to him!
Sho: So...what does it taste like? (writing)
Nino: Then have Bambi~no eat, have Bambi~no eat it. (writing)
[writing: Please say that it's tasty]
Sho: It's becoming more of a mystery isn't it.
Jun: Ah, I get it, I get it. In short, it's vanilla ice cream with meat! (writing)
Karina: That's right!
Nino: Sorry, sorry, although that may be tha case-
Aiba: A ltitle something more?
Nino: Wwe're going to bring out one more person.
Sho: You do it Commander.
Nino: Sorry about this. So, how is it?
Sho: A frank opinion!
Ohno: Tasty! (writing)
Sho: That's probably attached to it ne.
9:52
{Nino says next is the miso katsudon ice cream, pork with katsudon sauce in ice cream. he gets Jun to smell it and Jun says it smells
like porkXD Karina suggests they go together and Aiba agrees. Ohno syas this might be a failure;P karina takes a bite and Sho asks how
it is, Nino says the same thing, and when she doesn't react Sho says 'sempai?' and startles her;P he asks her if she's finished
tasting it, and she says the miso pork flavor overpowers the ice cream. Aiba says 'over the vanilla?' and she agrees, then says it's
like miso pork that was put in the fridge and then brought out like that^^; Sho says 'what's that all about?'Nino says they should
all finish it off at once;P Aiba says that the texture is always that of meat, and Jun agrees, and adds that you can taste the
batter too. Then he says there aren't many ice creams that get you this worked up;P The announcer then says the kishimen ice
cream is an exquisite match between vanilla ice cream, kishi noodles, and hacchou miso. Karina grunts that it's delicious, then
says that it's a new texture. Jun repeats it in surprise, then says a new texture has appeared. Now Sho says they'll move along
to the next homework, and asks Ogura to do the honors, Ogura reads out the 'image homework' "what did you do last night?" The
announcer says this is when they introduce the images that he audience has thought up for Karina. From there Karina's private life
will be revealed, and there's a nipple video from a celebrity?? Ohno reads the first submission, which says that Karina watched
the stars and drank wine at home. Jun agrees that she has that kind of image, Ogura and Nino chime in too, then Sho asks her
what she normally does on her days off. She says she idles around with her dogs and plays games. Sho says that from that analysis
she doesn't go out much, but she says she goes shopping, or out for dinner. Sho asks if she's often alone, and she says she has
2 older sisters that she goes out to eat with. Ogura says 'three sisters?' and she agrees, then he says 'you all three live together?'
and she says yes, and he says he wants to come visitXDD Karina interrupts the laughter to say that their lives are far different
from what Ogura imagines. Jun says she definitely seems like she's tired of it, she agrees, and ogura repeats it, and she says that
when girls get together it's really loud. So Nino asks what she normally wears when she comes home, and she says sweaters, to everyone's
surprise. Jun asks if all three of them wear sweaters, and she says things like sweaters, or t-shirts, and sweatpants. To which
Ogura says it's better not to get too deep into it;P Aiba says it's hard to imagine karina in a sweater, and Sho asks if they ever
fight. She says they do, and Nino asks what they fight about, so she says the bath or the toiletXD Nino asks if that's something like
'why am I third?'XD She says no, when you com home from work and are finally able to use the toilet you hurriedly open the door
and there's her sister saying 'what?' Sho says it's unlocked?? and she says it is;P Nino says it's kind of like a kids theme
parkXD Ogura asks if she has dogs, and she says yes, and that they're actually here today. She calls out Momiji, a 3yr-old toy
poodle, and everyone says it's cute. Then she says it does tricks, so Ogura and Aiba ask about it, she gets Momiji to sit,
kneel, and do a death sceneXD Sho says next it's Aiba's turn, and he reads his submission, which says that she called home
and talked in unchecked Nagoya dialect. he says that's what they sent, but does she use Nagoya dialect, and she says that
when she calls Nagoya she uses Nagoya dialect. So Sho says that they'd like Karina to teach them some Nagoya dialect, the
first phrase being 'I like you, please go out with me'. And he apologizes, but she has to say it to ogura-sanXD She asks if
it's okay to say it frankly, and Nino says he thinks it's a bad idea;P So she says it, and ogura is overjoyedXD Then Jun and
Aiba ask what the heck he's doing with his hands, and mimic his squishing motionsXDD Aiba says he's making funny gestures,
and ogura says he can die now;P But then he says nagoya dialect might be more fahionable than his Akita dialect. So Aiba
asks him to says something, and Jun says to reply to her. And when he does it sounds so rough that everyone laughsXD But
she says it's nice, and Sho says it's Jun's turn: Jun says it's a submission from Kitamura Kazuki-san (from bambino), and
everyone says he's the 'strong-faced' personXD The announcer says that in secret Jun went and asked the other cast members
from Bambino for images of her. First, Kitamura Kazuki, who says that she was licking miso all night; next, Sasaki Kuranousuke
who says that she went to a yakitori restaurant by herself, which the announcer says is unexpected...then, that there's also
a video from a certain person: it turns out to be Satou Ryuuta, who introduces himself then does a shout out to Karina, Jun,
and the other 'Bambi'XD Then the interviewer asks what his image of karina was before he worked with her, and he says that
he thought she liked Don Quixote (store)O_o He says that the first time they met was in Don Quixote in Shibuya at 3am;P Then they
ask if his image of her changed after meeting her, and he says that he really did then think that she liked Don Quixote;P
Then he says that actually she has a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, she's a person with a wide range of insights, and that
the three of them often talk together, but those conversations always end with her saying that she read about it somewhereXD
So now he has an image of her as being someone wise;P Last they ask for a few words for her, and he says that he thinks they'll
meet at Don Quixote againXD Jun asks if she often goes to Don Quixote, and she says that if she had time she used to go there.
Sho says 'if you had time??' and Aiba asks what she liked about it, and she says that with Donki as she calls it, it's not
like she wanted something there, but if she went she'd buy something. Sho says that they've hear she is wise in a lot of
ways, but she likes urban legends? Jun says that she's always talking about them, in the front room;P Then he adds that, on
top of that, when she always tlaks about having read a book about things, the book she brought was the exact same one as
Aiba has!XDD Nino and Sho are astonished that she has it, Aiba says it's amazing, and Jun says they really are similar;P
Ogura asks if she believes in UFOs, and she says she thinks she's seen them twice!O_o Ogura demands she tell them, and she
says that when she was in high school she fell asleep at her desk while watching the sky, and when she woke up she suddenly
sawe a weird silver thing making strange movements in the sky, not like a normal craft, and when she woke up the girl next
to her to show her it was gone^^; Therefore, she thinks it was a UFo;P Then Ogura says 'so basically you woke the other girl
up for nothing;P Karina says the other one was in Tokyo, when she was crossing the rainbow bridge, she was looking at the
sky and saw something that looked like an airplane but was kind of weird, and when she came back in a cab it was gone, so
she thinks it's a UFo^^;}
17:28
Ohno: Ah, so when you can't see things any more they're all UFos ne? (writing)
karina: UFOs.
Sho: that's the conclusion ne.
Nino: That's it ne.
Ogura: 'Tell me, Arashi!'
[Announcer: This is a segment where Arashi responds to the love troubles of the viewers and mixes in some re-enactments.
To evaluate them 50 girls in the studio will judge them with circles or x's. We'll also partake of Karina-san's opinion
as the head judge.]
Ogura: This is a trouble from Tokyo's New Employee-san. "I have a girlfriend that I've been dating for going on 3 months.
Aiba: Ah, well now.
Ogura: But in the middle of a date we got into a fight and she wouldn't listen to me for a week. Do you have any kind
of good words to use when making up after a fight? Plaese tell me. (writing)
Nino: Are there make-up words? hey, somebody answer me. (writing)
Sho: That's hard. That's hard huh, extremely. (writing)
Aiba: it's hard.
Nino: Who's going to go?
Ogura: Yes, go ahead.
Aiba: Yes yes yes!
Ogura: Aiba-kun, you're okay? (writing)
Aiba: Yes.
Ogura: You're okay?
Aiba: Yes yes.
Ogura: Then, the wo9rds to use when making up after a fight: Aiba-kun, go ahead!
Aiba: Yeah, I said I'm sorry! Geez, really, what is this? I said it's my fault! Ne? I'm sorry ne. Your cute face is being spoiled.
(writing) *Nudge nudge* Isn't it that kind of thing?
Nino: That's how it is Aiba-kun.
Ogura: So, here's the judgement, go ahead!
Aiba: Uwa~! There's a lot of x's.
Sho: A lot, even though I really liked it a lot.
Aiba: It's kind of-
Ogura: And karina-san? It's an x.
Sho: It's an x.
Aiba: Is that so? No good?
Karina: You'd make me irritated ne. (writing) Going like this would make me be like...
Ogura: Okay, next.
Jun: Yes.
Aiba: oh, go Matsumoto-kun.
Ogura: MatsuJun's there. Matsumoto-kun, go ahead.
Jun: About the other day...I think we were both wrong so...I think the atmosphere is bad, so let's make up. Sorry. (writing)
Aiba: That's kind of, you know ne.
Nino: It's realistic isn't it ne.
Aiba: Ne.
Ogura: Here's the judgement, go ahead!
Jun: If you please.
Nino: That's pretty high.
Aiba: It's high ne, getting to this point huh.
Ogura: 38 people.
Nino: Ah, but, what do I do? Being made to follow a great victory.
Sho: Ah, then I'll go, I'll go.
Ogura: Riidaa Riidaa Riidaa!
Aiba: Riidaa Riidaa.
Sho: This is bad, this flow. (writing) Really bad!
Ogura: Ohno-kun, go ahead!
Ohno: Alright, we were both wrong, let's apologize at the time. Ready, and- sorry ne! (writing)
Ogura: Here's the judgement, go ahead. Oh, they're all on board!
Aiba: Seriously all of them? Ah, no, one's not.
Ohno: Ah, thank goodness.
Jun: But just now your face was kind of life-like. (writing)
Ogura: So, Ninomiya-kun. (writing)
[writing: The last straw]
Ogura: Ninomiya-kun, go ahead!
Nino: Well, although we've been fighting constantly up until now, meeting like this...because we're not meeting like this to fight
...sooner or later can't we return to before- to like it was before? (writing)
Ogura: It was that heavy?
Aiba: You really have a sense of distance ne. Today you're really picky ne.
Ogura: Karina-san, how was that one just now?
Nino: Hey!
karina: I kind of thought that it would have been better if he said it a little more frankly.
Nino: Ah, is that so...
Aiba: I see ne.
Ogura: Well this person will do it frankly, in Sakurai-kun's case. Because he's a frank person ne. The words to make up after a fight
with your girlfriend. sakurai-kun, go ahead.
Sho: We were both just getting mad... Is it okay if I do it one more time? (writing)
Aiba: What the heck?!
Jun: What was that?!
Nino: Hey! What was that just now?
Aiba: Are you okay? (writing)
[writing: Completely white]
Nino: That one you brought out just now wasn't like you at all.
Ogura: Sakurai-kun's re-try, go ahead.
[Announcer: Hmm, what are you going to do Sakurai?]
Ogura: The words to make up after a fight, go ahead.
[writing: Second time]
Nino: Go up. Go up there. (writing)
Ohno: Hurry up.
Nino: Hurry up, go up there.
Ohno: Hurry up!
Nino: Wait, what is it??
Aiba: this is bad, you're going to break up.
Sho: We're going to break up, we're going to break up, I see ne.
Nino: What are you going to do, this is bad, this is bad.
[writing: Third time]
Ogura: sakurai-kun, go ahead!
Sho: A week is a long time, I'm really sorry! (writing)
Aiba: Huh, the lighting is messed up ne. (writing)
Nino: It's not over yet. (writing)
Aiba: It's not over yet.
[writing: Fourth time]
Sho: Ah, sorry. J- for a lot- for a lot of things, I'm really sorry. (writing)
Aiba: sakurai-kun ne, hates this segment the most ne. (writing)
[Announcer: Putting aside the awkward Sakurai-kun, Karina-san, please tell us your make up words.]
Ogura: The words to make up after a fight with your boyfriend. This is Karina-san.
Karina: Um...we haven't talked for about a week, but...eh, you were wrong, and there's a lot of things wrong with me too,
so since I plan to be together with you from now on, eh, let's both fix our bad spots and I ask for your favor
once again. (writing)
Sho: Nice.
Ogura: Yes yes. That's good. being natural.
Aiba: The 'I wsant to be with you from now on' is a good one ne.
Jun: it connected to your emotions huh~.
Aiba: Ah, I see ne~.
Nino: After all, we're apologizing bases right. (writing)
[writing: After this, an emergency announcement from Arashi!]
Nino: Because we have a tendency to start fires ne.
{the announcer says that Arashi's new single is on sale and to go buy it, this week's honor student is Bemu-san, who submitted the super spicy
kishimen, and they're taking submissions for deliciously different super spicy curry, as well as 'what did you do last night?' image homework
for Kokubun Taichi and Suzuki Anne.}
23:54
Wow, this episode was kind of...boring for me:S It didn't really pick up until the end with the apologies:S Although, it was kind of funyn to see how alike Aiba and Karina areXDD Whose apology was the best do you think?^^
Plus, Jun's August Wink-Up article:D
Credit to Mori for the scans^^
Q. What are you often told by people the first time you meet them?
- By people I'm meeting for the first time?! ...what's it ne? In the past I was told [You're unexpectedly impactless ne]. Like
[I thought you were much more strong] (laughs). Other than that, although in the past I was told something like [you feel uncomfortable],
right now I give a fairly good feeling...or so I like to think (laughs). Lately I* haven't been told much of anything. That means
that I've grown up too ne.
Q. What do you look at first when meeting people for the first time?
- I look at them as a whole ne. While looking at them as a whole I look for things that catch my eye...I'd say. First I try to draw
them in with a wide gaze, and I get drawn to things that catch my eye and make me think 'huh?' (laughs). Then I'm like [Ah, it's this
kind of thing~]. I guess I look at their whole atmosphere at first.
Q. What kind of people do you think have a good feel to them?
- Hmmm~...I guess it would be people who were raised well after all. What could it be? That atmosphere, the content of conversations...
I guess I like smart people. Clever people. Other than, people with an abundance of sensitivity and such. Other than that, well,
if they at least have the lowest minimum level of common sense I'll talk with them normally.
Q. What kind of people do you think you're not good with?
- It'd be badly balanced people wouldn't it? Other than, it's different from not being good with them but...someone who has way
too few points of connection with me, someone who has to much of a gap in sensations with me, I won't get close to them ne (laughs).
If there isn't that then I'll chat with them normally. Because I'm interested in people. Lately I don't think [Don't get too close
to me] like I did in the past (laughs).
Q. What kind of people are your close friends?
- When you say close friend quite a few people pop into my mind, and beyond that as well there are unexpectedly a lot of people
that I open my heart to ne. People I talk with without worrying about it at all...there are an incredible amount of them. If close
friend = people you open your heart to I guess there are quite a few of them. I want to be as open as I can ne (laughs). Well,
it's this kind of personality, so I do it when I drink too you see. When I do that I easily bring out everything ne. It's
'as open as you can be' ne (laughs) Has my own center gotten stronger? Yeah, that may be the case ne. But...at the same time,
the fickleness is gone ne (laughs).
Q. What are the Sempai and kouhai that you get along well with within the Jimusho?
- I got invited by Gussan to go surfing the other day as well. Last year...for that as well, before going to Taiwan I went
surfing together with Gussan and his friends. Although he called me and said [Because of the honor of that occasion, we'll
go again], because of the filming for the drama I didn't go... I haven't gone surfing at all. I want to go~. I want to go
this year. Because the drama will end soon ne. Gussan, please invite me again!
Q. Lastly, please tell us about your recent circumstances.
- The drama filming is on the last leg as well. When the filming is safely finished...I'll play. No matter who or what, I'll
play along! ...I'm lying (laughs). When the drama finishes it's finally the summer tour ne. Although within ourselves we
feel like we're constantly doing live performances (laughs), it's the once a year tour where people from the outer regions
get to see us ne. Even despite that sense of it, I'm happy that there are a lot of regions we can go to that we haven't been
to before, I think that we'll be able to have them see our, Arashi's, latest flow here. The new album [Time]'s title combines
the meaning of "The current Arashi" as well as "time = time" ne. We all brought out concepts together, but since Sho-kun was
the person who got chosen I escaped selection (laughs). Since my concept for the tour sub-title ("Kotoba no chikara", the power
of words) was adopted, I moved that way (laughs). I think that the lyrics for Arashi's songs are incredible good, for this year's
tour, I think it would be great if we could make the sublimity of lyrics = the power that words have the focal point. At any
rate, it's the once a year summer. Let's have fun together! Ah, on the album [Everybody Zenshin] (recorded on the Regular Version)
and [Yabai-Yabai-Yabai] (Matsumoto's solo), by all means please check them out. Because they're extremely 'yabai' (dangerous)! (laughs).
Kyaa~<3 Let me just say reading and translating this made me very happy:3 That's all that matters...X3 I could go on...but I would bore youXD
There's more, see below!:D Take care minna, have a great time this summer, enjoy hanakimi and Yamatarou, be safe and happy:3 I'll miss you all, and I look forward to seeing you again when I come back>_< I will take lots of picsXD *hugs*:3 Mata ne~!^^
First, the Shukudai-kun from 07.04.30 with karina;P
Ogura: Arashi's Homework begins~! So! Who is it...today? Hmm?
Nino: Yeah Ogu-san.
Aiba: We've finally got a good one today.
Ogura: I-
Aiba: I think Ogu-san will love this one, probably.
Ogura: It's a skinny girl.
Aiba: An incredibly light person ne.
Sho: Perfect style, getting a lot fo work as a model and actress, a spunky 23 year old. (writing)
Nino: Isn't that term kind of old? (writing)
Sho: it's not old.
Ogura: It make you want to get inside with her ne. (writing)
Sho: What are you saying??
[writing: Quickly running wild]
Sho: It's just a little bit further Ogu-san. Well then, this is today's guest, go ahead~! Wait a minute, wait
a minute!
Ogura: Cute~! Cute.
Sho: Wait a minute. The chiar is kind of different than usual. (writing)
Ogura: Wasn't it just a bench for last week's Nankai Candies?
Sho: For those two ne.
00:53
{the announcer says today will have you drooling, as new delicious cuisines from Nagoya appear. And Karina
goes on a strak of criticising Arashi. Furthermore, Karina's forbidden private life is opened for all to see.
Ogu-san is sunk as well! Homework begins, begins}
1:26
Sho: Karina-san, right now you and Matsumoto-kun are-
Karina: Yes.
Sho: In a drama together.
Karina: Yes, um, in a drama called [Bambi~no!]. (writing)
Sho: Bambi, how's he doin', our Bambi~no? (writing)
Jun: Your favor please;P
1:38
{the announcer says that having moved to Tokyo from Hakata, MatsuJun's character's sempai is Karina-san. With
her and Satou Ryuuta and Ichimura Masachika-san there are quite a few well-known members of the cast.}
1:50
SHo: What is Matsumoto-kun's atmosphere like on the set?
Karina: I think he's probably shy. (writing)
Sho: Oh, so has he talked quite a bit with you, Karina-san?
Karina: Well, lately he's come to talk with me bit by bit.
Aiba: At the beginning there was nothing at all? (writing)
karina: At the beginning he probably hated me ne. (writing)
Jun: I didn't hate you! Because there's an incredibly chilly atmosphere I have to really watch out for the
places to begin a conversation. In terms of my impression, she's like this kid. (writing)
[writing: Karina = Aiba?]
Sho: Wait...
Jun: It's kind of surprising right? It's kind of surprising. It's kind if surprising-
Aiba: Saying 'ehhhh?' is messed up! (writing)
Jun: She has some similarities with Aiba's point of view ne~. (writing)
Nino: Eh, so by saying point of view, you mean she's an idiot?
[writing: Karina = Aiba = idiot?]
Sho: So, well then, le's move along to the first homework, Ogu-san if you please!
2:35
{Ogura reads the homework, which is to submit deliciously different Nagoya food, and he surprisedly says Nagoya?
To which she replies that it's where she's from. And then she asks why everyone says 'ehhh';P The announcer
says that before the homework Karina-san will introduce some easy, anytime anywhere Nagoya food, which he's
looking forward to. Ogura mutters abgout it being from Nagoya and Sho says they'll open it, Ogura asks what it
is and Jun says it has to be a lieXD Rice and tofu? Karina says it is rice and tofu, and Nino wonders if she
was slightly poor;P She then picks up a bottle and says it's the secret weapon, Ogura asks what it is and she
says it's 'squeeze bottle miso'.}
3:12
Karina: It's the so-called [put it on miso, add it on miso]... (writing)
Jun: This is the best part?
Karina: That's right, that's right.
Sho: Karina-san, what is it you want to eat after this?
Karina: this is the way it's named ne. (writing)
Aiba: Then let's try it.
Karina: Yes.
Aiba: Let's try it. Ah, that's how it is.
Ogura: You put that much squeeze miso on it? The rice too!
[Announcer: She says that if you have this you can make anything delicious Nagoya food, but is it true?]
Ogura: If I were to say what color this is, it's like hacchou miso ne.
Aiba: That's right ne. Okay, I'm going to try this ne.
Sho: Will that become Nagoya flavor ne...
Nino: it's Nagoya food, Nagoya food.
Karina: How is it?
Aiba: This...I can't keep eating it, but if someone brought it out I'd eat it. It's got kind of an oily flavor...
Jun: Ah, I like it. (writing)
Aiba: Ah, you like it?
Jun: I like it.
Ogura: This would make your job easier to do huh.
[writing: Calculating guy]
Jun: Wrong wrong wrong!
Aiba: Your skilled huh~!;P
Jun: There's things like preserved vegetables. Like dried seaweed. It might be close to this. (writing)
Ogura: The tofu...
Karina: The tofu is as is.
Ogura: The tofu is as is. It's fairly sweet ne. (writing)
Karina: That's right.
Ogura: If you crushed peanuts and mixed them in it would make it delicious. Ne, I think it would be delicious,
miso peanuts.
Sho: This is super duper tasty. (writing)
4:25
{the announcer says now it's the homework submissions, is there deliciously different Nagoya dish that will
make her happy? Nino says this is the first one, and Ogura asks if it's Nagoya's kishimen and Nino says it is
kishimen, and that he thought they'd like to have it made right in front of their eyes. Jun asks if she's ever
eatne it and she says she's had this with miso and everyonr laughs, Nino says then it becomes Karina cuisine and
this is not Karina cuisine;P Then he says the cook has come, and Jun says that it's stone cooked. Nino says it;s
stone cooked kishimen, and Karina says it looks delicous. Nino says he's going to start and Jun says this'll
surely be delicious, while Nino insists they watch;P Aiba says it looks delicious, and Jun says the smell is
tasty. Nino says it;s made from super spicy curry so it's called stone cooked spicikishimen, which he has trouble
pronouncing so he repeats himself;) Jun asks if the curry is spicy and Karina starts to reply when Nino says
it's okay;P Sho tells him not to answer, and Karina says she likes spice. Nino says it has kimchi and red
cayenne chili powder in it, so it's very spicy. Jun says the smell is great and everyone agrees, so Nino tells
Karina to dig in, which she does, as Aiba encourages her. Ogura says it'll come right at her, and Sho repeats
this puzzledly;) Kairna takes a bite and says it's spicyXD Sho asks if it's that spicy, and she says it's
delicious, spicy but delicious.}
5:50
Nino: That's an Aiba-san style comment ne;P (writing)
[writing: Aiba-related after all?]
Nino: Like 'spicy, tasy!'
Aiba: I say 'spicy, tasty' right.
Jun: I wasn't wrong huh.
Nino: You weren't wrong. Aiba-san, if you could just have a little...
Aiba: Yes.
Ogura: He's always slurping it down ne.
Aiba: Ah, spicy~! Oh, tasty~! (writing) This is tasty!
Sho: Isn't that a complete copy? (writing)
Nino: That's a complete copy.
Ogura: Tasty.
6:10
{Nino says next, inside the box is something you'd find at a bar. Both Jun and Aiba ask what the heck it is,
and karina says she knows. She says it's probably cheese, and Nino says she's right and that it's mozzarella
cheese with Hacchou miso. Karina says it'll definitely be delicious.}
6:30
Ogura: Miso again?! (writing)
Karina: This is the ebst for a drinking snack ne! (writing)
Aiba: I see...then you've eaten it ne? (writing)
Karina: I haven't! (writing)
Sho: Sorry, sorry.
Aiba: Karina, Karina. (writing)
Nino: Wake up Karina. (writing)
Karina: Sorry. Um, I haven't eaten any of this.
Nino: Something like this...?
Karina: At home I'd put miso on cheese. (writing) So, I can pretty much imagine ne.
Aiba: I see. I see ne.
6:55
{Nino says the cheese is from Italy, and is marinated in Hacchou miso, mirin and sake for 3 days, and Ogura
says it's marinated? to which Nino replies that it's a marinated item. Karina says it's an incredible good smell,
and takes a bite, then grunts. Jun says 'here we go', Nino asks if it's really coming, and Ogura asks if she's
cryingXDD Aiba asks what happened and Nino asks if she's lost her breath, and she says it's delicious. So they
all have some, while Karina says it's kind of like a 'huh? cheese?' feel to it. Ogura says that it takes some
time to taste it, and he understand how Karina felt.}
7:32
Nino: The next one ne, is dessert, ice-cream - eh? Don't drink tea you two! (writing)
[writing: You're in the middle of working!]
Nino: You're on tv! Ice-cream, a three flavor set. Don't drink tea!
[writing: You as well ne]
Nino: You;re on tv, keep that in mind. Here is the three set, tada!
[Announcer: After this surprising Nagoya ice cream makes an appearance!]
Nino: Here is the three set, tada!
8:22
{Everyone exclaims surprisedly, jun asks what it is and Nino says ice cream, then says the first one is chicken wing ice cream.
Ogura repeats it in disbelief, Jun says 'so that means there's meat in there?' and karina says she's heard of it, Nino asks if
she knows it, Jun repeats it, and she says yes, but she's never eaten it. Oguras picks up the second one and says no matter how
you look at it it's chawan mushi (special broth dish), Nino says it's perfect for Nagoya, kishimen ice cream. Jun says it's
a real challenge;P Ogura asks what the last one is, and Nino says it's Nagoya's specialty, miso katsudon on ice creamO_o Aiba
is like 'pork?' Jun asks if there's pork in there, and Karina says she thinks it'll be delicious, Nino says yes, pork ice
cream. Then Ogura says to pick which one she likes, Nino confirms that it's the chicken wing ice cream, and Jun comments
that she's incredibly full of curiostyXD Nino says the ice cream is done maginificently, and she says that at first it tastes
likes vanilla, but then when you bite into it there' chicken. Then she says that she wants people to try it, because it's
something you can't imagine;P }
9:14
Nino: Then -then give it to him, give it to him!
Sho: So...what does it taste like? (writing)
Nino: Then have Bambi~no eat, have Bambi~no eat it. (writing)
[writing: Please say that it's tasty]
Sho: It's becoming more of a mystery isn't it.
Jun: Ah, I get it, I get it. In short, it's vanilla ice cream with meat! (writing)
Karina: That's right!
Nino: Sorry, sorry, although that may be tha case-
Aiba: A ltitle something more?
Nino: Wwe're going to bring out one more person.
Sho: You do it Commander.
Nino: Sorry about this. So, how is it?
Sho: A frank opinion!
Ohno: Tasty! (writing)
Sho: That's probably attached to it ne.
9:52
{Nino says next is the miso katsudon ice cream, pork with katsudon sauce in ice cream. he gets Jun to smell it and Jun says it smells
like porkXD Karina suggests they go together and Aiba agrees. Ohno syas this might be a failure;P karina takes a bite and Sho asks how
it is, Nino says the same thing, and when she doesn't react Sho says 'sempai?' and startles her;P he asks her if she's finished
tasting it, and she says the miso pork flavor overpowers the ice cream. Aiba says 'over the vanilla?' and she agrees, then says it's
like miso pork that was put in the fridge and then brought out like that^^; Sho says 'what's that all about?'Nino says they should
all finish it off at once;P Aiba says that the texture is always that of meat, and Jun agrees, and adds that you can taste the
batter too. Then he says there aren't many ice creams that get you this worked up;P The announcer then says the kishimen ice
cream is an exquisite match between vanilla ice cream, kishi noodles, and hacchou miso. Karina grunts that it's delicious, then
says that it's a new texture. Jun repeats it in surprise, then says a new texture has appeared. Now Sho says they'll move along
to the next homework, and asks Ogura to do the honors, Ogura reads out the 'image homework' "what did you do last night?" The
announcer says this is when they introduce the images that he audience has thought up for Karina. From there Karina's private life
will be revealed, and there's a nipple video from a celebrity?? Ohno reads the first submission, which says that Karina watched
the stars and drank wine at home. Jun agrees that she has that kind of image, Ogura and Nino chime in too, then Sho asks her
what she normally does on her days off. She says she idles around with her dogs and plays games. Sho says that from that analysis
she doesn't go out much, but she says she goes shopping, or out for dinner. Sho asks if she's often alone, and she says she has
2 older sisters that she goes out to eat with. Ogura says 'three sisters?' and she agrees, then he says 'you all three live together?'
and she says yes, and he says he wants to come visitXDD Karina interrupts the laughter to say that their lives are far different
from what Ogura imagines. Jun says she definitely seems like she's tired of it, she agrees, and ogura repeats it, and she says that
when girls get together it's really loud. So Nino asks what she normally wears when she comes home, and she says sweaters, to everyone's
surprise. Jun asks if all three of them wear sweaters, and she says things like sweaters, or t-shirts, and sweatpants. To which
Ogura says it's better not to get too deep into it;P Aiba says it's hard to imagine karina in a sweater, and Sho asks if they ever
fight. She says they do, and Nino asks what they fight about, so she says the bath or the toiletXD Nino asks if that's something like
'why am I third?'XD She says no, when you com home from work and are finally able to use the toilet you hurriedly open the door
and there's her sister saying 'what?' Sho says it's unlocked?? and she says it is;P Nino says it's kind of like a kids theme
parkXD Ogura asks if she has dogs, and she says yes, and that they're actually here today. She calls out Momiji, a 3yr-old toy
poodle, and everyone says it's cute. Then she says it does tricks, so Ogura and Aiba ask about it, she gets Momiji to sit,
kneel, and do a death sceneXD Sho says next it's Aiba's turn, and he reads his submission, which says that she called home
and talked in unchecked Nagoya dialect. he says that's what they sent, but does she use Nagoya dialect, and she says that
when she calls Nagoya she uses Nagoya dialect. So Sho says that they'd like Karina to teach them some Nagoya dialect, the
first phrase being 'I like you, please go out with me'. And he apologizes, but she has to say it to ogura-sanXD She asks if
it's okay to say it frankly, and Nino says he thinks it's a bad idea;P So she says it, and ogura is overjoyedXD Then Jun and
Aiba ask what the heck he's doing with his hands, and mimic his squishing motionsXDD Aiba says he's making funny gestures,
and ogura says he can die now;P But then he says nagoya dialect might be more fahionable than his Akita dialect. So Aiba
asks him to says something, and Jun says to reply to her. And when he does it sounds so rough that everyone laughsXD But
she says it's nice, and Sho says it's Jun's turn: Jun says it's a submission from Kitamura Kazuki-san (from bambino), and
everyone says he's the 'strong-faced' personXD The announcer says that in secret Jun went and asked the other cast members
from Bambino for images of her. First, Kitamura Kazuki, who says that she was licking miso all night; next, Sasaki Kuranousuke
who says that she went to a yakitori restaurant by herself, which the announcer says is unexpected...then, that there's also
a video from a certain person: it turns out to be Satou Ryuuta, who introduces himself then does a shout out to Karina, Jun,
and the other 'Bambi'XD Then the interviewer asks what his image of karina was before he worked with her, and he says that
he thought she liked Don Quixote (store)O_o He says that the first time they met was in Don Quixote in Shibuya at 3am;P Then they
ask if his image of her changed after meeting her, and he says that he really did then think that she liked Don Quixote;P
Then he says that actually she has a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, she's a person with a wide range of insights, and that
the three of them often talk together, but those conversations always end with her saying that she read about it somewhereXD
So now he has an image of her as being someone wise;P Last they ask for a few words for her, and he says that he thinks they'll
meet at Don Quixote againXD Jun asks if she often goes to Don Quixote, and she says that if she had time she used to go there.
Sho says 'if you had time??' and Aiba asks what she liked about it, and she says that with Donki as she calls it, it's not
like she wanted something there, but if she went she'd buy something. Sho says that they've hear she is wise in a lot of
ways, but she likes urban legends? Jun says that she's always talking about them, in the front room;P Then he adds that, on
top of that, when she always tlaks about having read a book about things, the book she brought was the exact same one as
Aiba has!XDD Nino and Sho are astonished that she has it, Aiba says it's amazing, and Jun says they really are similar;P
Ogura asks if she believes in UFOs, and she says she thinks she's seen them twice!O_o Ogura demands she tell them, and she
says that when she was in high school she fell asleep at her desk while watching the sky, and when she woke up she suddenly
sawe a weird silver thing making strange movements in the sky, not like a normal craft, and when she woke up the girl next
to her to show her it was gone^^; Therefore, she thinks it was a UFo;P Then Ogura says 'so basically you woke the other girl
up for nothing;P Karina says the other one was in Tokyo, when she was crossing the rainbow bridge, she was looking at the
sky and saw something that looked like an airplane but was kind of weird, and when she came back in a cab it was gone, so
she thinks it's a UFo^^;}
17:28
Ohno: Ah, so when you can't see things any more they're all UFos ne? (writing)
karina: UFOs.
Sho: that's the conclusion ne.
Nino: That's it ne.
Ogura: 'Tell me, Arashi!'
[Announcer: This is a segment where Arashi responds to the love troubles of the viewers and mixes in some re-enactments.
To evaluate them 50 girls in the studio will judge them with circles or x's. We'll also partake of Karina-san's opinion
as the head judge.]
Ogura: This is a trouble from Tokyo's New Employee-san. "I have a girlfriend that I've been dating for going on 3 months.
Aiba: Ah, well now.
Ogura: But in the middle of a date we got into a fight and she wouldn't listen to me for a week. Do you have any kind
of good words to use when making up after a fight? Plaese tell me. (writing)
Nino: Are there make-up words? hey, somebody answer me. (writing)
Sho: That's hard. That's hard huh, extremely. (writing)
Aiba: it's hard.
Nino: Who's going to go?
Ogura: Yes, go ahead.
Aiba: Yes yes yes!
Ogura: Aiba-kun, you're okay? (writing)
Aiba: Yes.
Ogura: You're okay?
Aiba: Yes yes.
Ogura: Then, the wo9rds to use when making up after a fight: Aiba-kun, go ahead!
Aiba: Yeah, I said I'm sorry! Geez, really, what is this? I said it's my fault! Ne? I'm sorry ne. Your cute face is being spoiled.
(writing) *Nudge nudge* Isn't it that kind of thing?
Nino: That's how it is Aiba-kun.
Ogura: So, here's the judgement, go ahead!
Aiba: Uwa~! There's a lot of x's.
Sho: A lot, even though I really liked it a lot.
Aiba: It's kind of-
Ogura: And karina-san? It's an x.
Sho: It's an x.
Aiba: Is that so? No good?
Karina: You'd make me irritated ne. (writing) Going like this would make me be like...
Ogura: Okay, next.
Jun: Yes.
Aiba: oh, go Matsumoto-kun.
Ogura: MatsuJun's there. Matsumoto-kun, go ahead.
Jun: About the other day...I think we were both wrong so...I think the atmosphere is bad, so let's make up. Sorry. (writing)
Aiba: That's kind of, you know ne.
Nino: It's realistic isn't it ne.
Aiba: Ne.
Ogura: Here's the judgement, go ahead!
Jun: If you please.
Nino: That's pretty high.
Aiba: It's high ne, getting to this point huh.
Ogura: 38 people.
Nino: Ah, but, what do I do? Being made to follow a great victory.
Sho: Ah, then I'll go, I'll go.
Ogura: Riidaa Riidaa Riidaa!
Aiba: Riidaa Riidaa.
Sho: This is bad, this flow. (writing) Really bad!
Ogura: Ohno-kun, go ahead!
Ohno: Alright, we were both wrong, let's apologize at the time. Ready, and- sorry ne! (writing)
Ogura: Here's the judgement, go ahead. Oh, they're all on board!
Aiba: Seriously all of them? Ah, no, one's not.
Ohno: Ah, thank goodness.
Jun: But just now your face was kind of life-like. (writing)
Ogura: So, Ninomiya-kun. (writing)
[writing: The last straw]
Ogura: Ninomiya-kun, go ahead!
Nino: Well, although we've been fighting constantly up until now, meeting like this...because we're not meeting like this to fight
...sooner or later can't we return to before- to like it was before? (writing)
Ogura: It was that heavy?
Aiba: You really have a sense of distance ne. Today you're really picky ne.
Ogura: Karina-san, how was that one just now?
Nino: Hey!
karina: I kind of thought that it would have been better if he said it a little more frankly.
Nino: Ah, is that so...
Aiba: I see ne.
Ogura: Well this person will do it frankly, in Sakurai-kun's case. Because he's a frank person ne. The words to make up after a fight
with your girlfriend. sakurai-kun, go ahead.
Sho: We were both just getting mad... Is it okay if I do it one more time? (writing)
Aiba: What the heck?!
Jun: What was that?!
Nino: Hey! What was that just now?
Aiba: Are you okay? (writing)
[writing: Completely white]
Nino: That one you brought out just now wasn't like you at all.
Ogura: Sakurai-kun's re-try, go ahead.
[Announcer: Hmm, what are you going to do Sakurai?]
Ogura: The words to make up after a fight, go ahead.
[writing: Second time]
Nino: Go up. Go up there. (writing)
Ohno: Hurry up.
Nino: Hurry up, go up there.
Ohno: Hurry up!
Nino: Wait, what is it??
Aiba: this is bad, you're going to break up.
Sho: We're going to break up, we're going to break up, I see ne.
Nino: What are you going to do, this is bad, this is bad.
[writing: Third time]
Ogura: sakurai-kun, go ahead!
Sho: A week is a long time, I'm really sorry! (writing)
Aiba: Huh, the lighting is messed up ne. (writing)
Nino: It's not over yet. (writing)
Aiba: It's not over yet.
[writing: Fourth time]
Sho: Ah, sorry. J- for a lot- for a lot of things, I'm really sorry. (writing)
Aiba: sakurai-kun ne, hates this segment the most ne. (writing)
[Announcer: Putting aside the awkward Sakurai-kun, Karina-san, please tell us your make up words.]
Ogura: The words to make up after a fight with your boyfriend. This is Karina-san.
Karina: Um...we haven't talked for about a week, but...eh, you were wrong, and there's a lot of things wrong with me too,
so since I plan to be together with you from now on, eh, let's both fix our bad spots and I ask for your favor
once again. (writing)
Sho: Nice.
Ogura: Yes yes. That's good. being natural.
Aiba: The 'I wsant to be with you from now on' is a good one ne.
Jun: it connected to your emotions huh~.
Aiba: Ah, I see ne~.
Nino: After all, we're apologizing bases right. (writing)
[writing: After this, an emergency announcement from Arashi!]
Nino: Because we have a tendency to start fires ne.
{the announcer says that Arashi's new single is on sale and to go buy it, this week's honor student is Bemu-san, who submitted the super spicy
kishimen, and they're taking submissions for deliciously different super spicy curry, as well as 'what did you do last night?' image homework
for Kokubun Taichi and Suzuki Anne.}
23:54
Wow, this episode was kind of...boring for me:S It didn't really pick up until the end with the apologies:S Although, it was kind of funyn to see how alike Aiba and Karina areXDD Whose apology was the best do you think?^^
Plus, Jun's August Wink-Up article:D
Credit to Mori for the scans^^
Q. What are you often told by people the first time you meet them?
- By people I'm meeting for the first time?! ...what's it ne? In the past I was told [You're unexpectedly impactless ne]. Like
[I thought you were much more strong] (laughs). Other than that, although in the past I was told something like [you feel uncomfortable],
right now I give a fairly good feeling...or so I like to think (laughs). Lately I* haven't been told much of anything. That means
that I've grown up too ne.
Q. What do you look at first when meeting people for the first time?
- I look at them as a whole ne. While looking at them as a whole I look for things that catch my eye...I'd say. First I try to draw
them in with a wide gaze, and I get drawn to things that catch my eye and make me think 'huh?' (laughs). Then I'm like [Ah, it's this
kind of thing~]. I guess I look at their whole atmosphere at first.
Q. What kind of people do you think have a good feel to them?
- Hmmm~...I guess it would be people who were raised well after all. What could it be? That atmosphere, the content of conversations...
I guess I like smart people. Clever people. Other than, people with an abundance of sensitivity and such. Other than that, well,
if they at least have the lowest minimum level of common sense I'll talk with them normally.
Q. What kind of people do you think you're not good with?
- It'd be badly balanced people wouldn't it? Other than, it's different from not being good with them but...someone who has way
too few points of connection with me, someone who has to much of a gap in sensations with me, I won't get close to them ne (laughs).
If there isn't that then I'll chat with them normally. Because I'm interested in people. Lately I don't think [Don't get too close
to me] like I did in the past (laughs).
Q. What kind of people are your close friends?
- When you say close friend quite a few people pop into my mind, and beyond that as well there are unexpectedly a lot of people
that I open my heart to ne. People I talk with without worrying about it at all...there are an incredible amount of them. If close
friend = people you open your heart to I guess there are quite a few of them. I want to be as open as I can ne (laughs). Well,
it's this kind of personality, so I do it when I drink too you see. When I do that I easily bring out everything ne. It's
'as open as you can be' ne (laughs) Has my own center gotten stronger? Yeah, that may be the case ne. But...at the same time,
the fickleness is gone ne (laughs).
Q. What are the Sempai and kouhai that you get along well with within the Jimusho?
- I got invited by Gussan to go surfing the other day as well. Last year...for that as well, before going to Taiwan I went
surfing together with Gussan and his friends. Although he called me and said [Because of the honor of that occasion, we'll
go again], because of the filming for the drama I didn't go... I haven't gone surfing at all. I want to go~. I want to go
this year. Because the drama will end soon ne. Gussan, please invite me again!
Q. Lastly, please tell us about your recent circumstances.
- The drama filming is on the last leg as well. When the filming is safely finished...I'll play. No matter who or what, I'll
play along! ...I'm lying (laughs). When the drama finishes it's finally the summer tour ne. Although within ourselves we
feel like we're constantly doing live performances (laughs), it's the once a year tour where people from the outer regions
get to see us ne. Even despite that sense of it, I'm happy that there are a lot of regions we can go to that we haven't been
to before, I think that we'll be able to have them see our, Arashi's, latest flow here. The new album [Time]'s title combines
the meaning of "The current Arashi" as well as "time = time" ne. We all brought out concepts together, but since Sho-kun was
the person who got chosen I escaped selection (laughs). Since my concept for the tour sub-title ("Kotoba no chikara", the power
of words) was adopted, I moved that way (laughs). I think that the lyrics for Arashi's songs are incredible good, for this year's
tour, I think it would be great if we could make the sublimity of lyrics = the power that words have the focal point. At any
rate, it's the once a year summer. Let's have fun together! Ah, on the album [Everybody Zenshin] (recorded on the Regular Version)
and [Yabai-Yabai-Yabai] (Matsumoto's solo), by all means please check them out. Because they're extremely 'yabai' (dangerous)! (laughs).
