[Step and Go]
Host: Arashi sure livened things up on Music Lovers, didn't they? Now, let us have them introduce the new summer models. With au cellphones,
Arashi: you can enjoy a different summer from last year.
Jun: This is my cellphone, book cellphone biblio. It's time for us to read books on our cellphones. You can carry 5,000 paperbacks in here.

[Assuming that one book takes up 576KB of memory, the largest number of books you can store in your data folder is 5,000]
Ohno: This is solar phone, SH002. It can charge with solar power, so you can avoid a sudden flat battery. It is also waterproof.
[PX5/PX7 compatible
Please secure the lock after you have shut the cap tightly and attached the battery pack cover]
[Please do not soak this in the sea, pool, or hot springs]
Aiba: This is mine! Waterproof sports cellphone, Sportio waterbeat! It's waterproof, so no worries about getting it wet! Highly recommended for you active folks!

[Please do not soak this in the sea, pool, or hot springs]
Sho: Mine is a waterproof cellphone for use abroad, T002. It uses the powerful worldwide Global Passport for international roaming. Seems like something you can use on a beach resort overseas, too.

Arashi: ... and try them out!
Host: After the break, we'll have a Special Arashi Concert!
Arashi: Please look forward to it!
[Arashi]
Host: Kitagawa-san! What did you think of the concert tonight?
[Experiencing the concert with the audience]
Kitagawa: I've never really watched it with the crowd before, so it was really fun, and sometimes when I look up the stage, I feel like, "Ah! My eyes met Matsujun's!" I can't really explain it, but... I realized that's how fans must feel.
Host: Kitagawa-san and Shiota-san went to an Arashi concert on the same day, right?
[Last year, Kitagawa-san and Shiota-san went to an Arashi concert on the same day by sheer coincidence]
Shiota: Yes!
Kitagawa: I didn't know at all.
Shiota: (overlapping) Yes, yes.
Kitagawa: We totally went on our own.
Nino: Sorry! Why did you go?
Sho: Exactly.
Nino: Right?
[Yuzu's Kitagawa, Shiota went to Arashi's concert...]
Kitagawa: My niece... is a HUGE Arashian fan, you see. Then I started liking you after listening to your music, too. So I gradually began to do the movements with the other fans...
Host: And you, Shiota-san?
Shiota: I was invited by Sakurai-san.
Sho: I interviewed her before the Beijing Olympics,
Shiota: Yes.
Sho: and she gave me a lot of power and energy, so as a way to repay the favour...
Host: Like, "Okay! Time for you to see the real me!"
Sho: Well, to be honest, that was part of the intention.
Narrator: Lovers Questionnaire 100. Tonight, we will try to fix a character to the super idols, Arashi, by choosing the top member for various themes.
Host: Here's the first question.
Kitagawa: Okay!
Host: Who do you think is the most popular guy in Arashi?
Jun: Here it is!
Host: Okay, first! Kitagawa-san!
Kitagawa: Okay, here. Matsumoto-san.
Jun: Thank you very much.
Host: And Shiota-san?
Jun: All right!
[Popular guy No. 1
"Matsumoto Jun"]
Host: Kitagawa-san, why do you feel that way?
Kitagawa: You see, my niece is a rather old-school middle schooler, but the first person who caught her attention was Matsumoto-san.
Jun: Wow, I'm glad to hear that!
Host: By the way, three out of five in Arashi chose Matsumoto-san.
[Sakurai: Matsumoto
Aiba: Matsujun
Ninomiya: Matsumoto-kun]
Nino: He's kind. And as you can see, even though I did the exact same thing, the cheers he got was a hundred times louder. I think it's because he makes it look kind of sexy.
Jun: No, I don't!
[Matsujun can make
"normal words" sound cool]
Host: Sakurai-san, you gave the same answer.
Sho: Um... Here's a "normal phrase" I can think of that sounds cool when Matsujun says it. To the manager, he said, "Excuse me. Please get me some hot water." I was like, can you possibly make "hot water" sound any cooler?
Aiba: At restaurants, too!
Jun: Really?
Aiba: He makes the phrase, "please bring me warm tea" sound super cool!
Sho: He could've just gotten cold tea, right? But of course, he'd choose warm tea!
Host: By the way, who did you pick, Leader?
[Ohno]
Ohno: I chose Sho-kun.
[Ohno: Sho-kun]
Sho: Seriously!?
Host: What is your reason?
Jun: What is it?
Ohno: Well... he's very good-looking.
Host: I see. Here's the next question. Which Arashi member seems like the best one to go to when you have problems?
Nino: Here it is!
Sho: It's here.
Aiba: Who is it?
Kitagawa: I can't really tell, but... Sakurai-san.
Host: Sakurai-san.
Shiota: Wow, amazing. My answer's the same.
[Most reliable No. 1
"Sakurai Sho"]
Host: Let's talk about your reasons.
Shiota: Okay. I... find him very wonderful, and he seems like a person who'll listen very seriously to my problems...
Audience: Whaa...
Shiota: Huh? They're saying, "Whaa..."
Sho: No, don't listen to them.
Shiota: Is this all right? Is this okay?
Host: By the way, two out of the five members chose Sakurai-san.
[Aiba: Sho-kun
Ohno: Sho-kun]
Ohno: Well, I get the feeling he'll give a very precise, practical solution.
Host: Have you asked him for help before?
Ohno: No.
[Everything]
Ohno: Okay, how's everyone doing? You should all get sunburnt, too!
Sho: No, no.
Nino: Please stop making yourself the benchmark for suntans. Okay?
Sho: Well then, here's our newest song. Please listen to it. "Everything".
Jun: Hey! Music Lovers! Daaaance! C'mon!!
Sho: Hey! Clap clap ah clap! Clap clap ah clap! Clap clap ah clap!
Ohno: Daance!!
Host: Here's a question for Kitagawa-san. Which Arashi member will probably be the most troublesome if he were to be a Yuzu member?
Nino: We're totally okay! We're mentally very strong!
Sho: We're like the Johnny's mental buffer. We're totally okay!
Host: If you absolutely had to choose one.
Kitagawa: If I had to...
Nino: If he had to, right?
Aiba: Right.
Nino: It's a forced choice.
Kitagawa: You're right.
Host: Please show your answer to everyone.
Kitagawa: It's tough.
[Most troublesome No. 1
"Ohno Satoshi"]
Nino: You can take it! You can take it!! You're strong! You've got a strong mind! Ahh, he's smiling, he's smiling.
Yuzu: Are you okay?
Ohno: ... why?
Kitagawa: My impression is that you have specific hobbies, that you're a free spirit. You draw and stuff, don't you?
Ohno: Ah, yes.
Kitagawa: With your specific tastes, I don't think we can get along very well as partners. And... you're dark.
[For some reason, he's got an intense suntan]
Sho: You're kind of burnt!
Nino: You're amazing...
Aiba: When Leader was doing his make-up today, the make-up artist was like, "I don't have a foundation that fits your skin anymore!"
Nino: She brought out this foundation that looked like mud or something. I was like, what's with that colour?
Host: You have to consider where he should stand, too. When you're singing "Natsuiro", for example.
[If Ohno joined Yuzu...]
Nino: It's a famous song, so he should stand next to the drums.
Kitagawa: Yeah.
Host: Next is a song that was shared for a limited time in spring - season. They will perform this song, which was considered famous and loved even in that period of anxiety, for the first time on television tonight.
Sho: Thank you very much!
Aiba: Thank you very much!
Nino: Thank you very much!
[After the break
Arashi will make a huge declaration for the summer!]
Jun au
[A different summer from last year]
Jun: The stage was set. The hour was near; the moon full. The phantom slowly laid a hand on his mask. In that instant...!
[A book cellphone,
giving us a different summer from last year]
Female: You don't have to be that alarmed.
Narrator: au by KDDI. Campaign is ongoing.
Ohno au
Colleague: Ohno-kun. What's wrong?
Ohno: I feel kind of tired...
Colleague: How long can you keep this up? You're always so busy.
Ohno: Shall we take a long vacation and recharge?
Colleague: Are you stupid?
Ohno: This one's charging too.
[A solar phone,
giving us a different summer from last year]
Ohno: Let's charge this baby!
Colleague: Solar!
Ohno: Charging!
Colleague: Solar!
Ohno: Charging!
Colleague: Solar!
Ohno: Charging!
Women: He's so cool...
Narrator: au by KDDI. Campaign is ongoing.
Aiba & Sho au
Aiba: I wonder why... It's a path I see all the time, but every time I run...
Sho: I'm not angry!
Aiba: I see a different face, a different scenery.
[A waterproof cellphone,
giving us a different summer from last year]
Sho: He sure is having fun...
Narrator: au by KDDI. Campaign is ongoing.
Host: As this year is Arashi's tenth anniversary, we've asked them to say a few words.
Jun: We managed to make it for ten years thanks to the fans who supported us right from our debut days. I think it's a result born from the support we've received from people around us, so I think it'd be great if we can thank everyone in person at our concerts.
Host: Arashi shows us more of their growth by performing at Kokuritsu for three consecutive days, a first time ever for any artiste. What are concerts to these members?
Arashi: Love.
Host: For all the people who love music, this was brought to you by "Designing The Future KDDI".
