Summer Concert! 早！
First of all, I'm really sorry for not be able to help anyone get the ticket.
Gomennasai! Hontou ni! m(_ _)m
God bless Arashi.vox.
I'm going to use all 4 tickets for me and my friend.
I don't have the $ to care about seats, so the ballot is my only chance to get tickets.
I haven't accept the mail from jimusho yet so I haven't really decided which place I'll go.
The strongest plan is,
Osaka - with my friend
Nagoya - alone
Hamamatsu - alone
Anyway,
I read SWITCH and these are the interesting parts (it's actually quite long):
Oh-chan : It's getting harder for me each year (to be the center of attention). I feel like "Ah...don't look at me..."
For me, the most important thing is having fun. Arashi with no fun is not Arashi.
Thank god he's the leader. With the light-speed pace of Japan entertainment industry, specially in idol part, Arashi needs captain forever.
Sho : I'm going to do my best. I'm not someone full of talent like Ohno. But, if because of that, if before I die I ever think "yappari, this 'path' is not for me", I'll be so upset. I want to do my best so that I can say "Glad I chose it" in the end.
why...why must you let out that kind of perfect answers all the time...?
Aiba : I love to see people's smile. when I was in elementary school, my parents are busy and they never come to my school events. In sports day, I'll eat bento with my teacher. maybe that has some effect.
we love to see YOU smile!
Jun : (Jun is unbelievably busy) Even if I had free time, that's just for sleep and shower. but, thinking about it, I like it this way. this is my way of life. I might not be able to live other than this way. I'll grown up more in filming studio and meeting people.
Arashi really consists of amazing people.
Nino : (the interviewer notice how much Nino joked, and she knows that he joked not because he isn't serious, but because he don't want to answer (deep) things)
I want to challenge the 'idol' border. in the old times, idol only do certain things, but now, we can do anything. I mean look at Aiba-chan. He's an idol that fight with lion!
I never thought of myself as an actor. I'm an idol. So, it's kinda useless if people start to criticize my act. It's like being seen as different gender. Like being told, "Nino, you're pretty."
that's all I can remember now.
8 years of Arashi. I agree with what sho said. this 8 years, Arashi was building INSIDE. they overcome their personal problems and worries and thinking and thinking, up to the point that they finally sure, this is meant to be. Sho said, not until recently that they start to build outside.
I'm growing together with my lovely boys. Yosh! Ganbarou!
Comments
The alternative mag-interviews are always so insightful. They bend away from the usual questions asked in those idol mags and you get to learn a lot more about the boys. Thanks for always sharing what they say with us, hina-chan!
Ohchan - We love you for being YOU! Sasuga captain.
Sho - True, you are quite dame :P But that's what makes you amazing is your hard work and support - you are such an Ohno-fanboy.
Aiba - Your smiles are worth a thousand lightbulbs.
Jun - You faced a lot of criticisms but you grew up tough from it.
Nino - Pretty? No lah! Cute got. But you act well - how can you think otherwise? Being complimented for your acting shows that you are not the typical idol either. It's another talent that idols can have. And you HAVE to bring up your sayang Aiba eh? You worry about him in TSD so much esp with the vicious animals.
I just got an sms from my friend who's at the Tokyo Dome concert now - she said TxT came and "disturbed" Aiba's solo. Afterwards, they sat behind Aiba as he continued singing. LOL! I WANT FANCAM.
I was a bit put off the first time I heard about Arashi cause I thought "another boyband, 5 pretty guys without brain who can't sing and dance.... let alone put together a single thought"....
i'm really glad to have been disappointed!! ^^
this shows how much Arashi are focused on their job and how they care about it an about each other.... I love more this kind of question cause we fans can see (if only for a moment) past the idol mask, we can see the real face, the real talent of this people...
thanks for sharing and ganbatte for finding the tickets!! I wish I can go too... ç___ç
i wish i could have supported him XD
ah finally someone pointed out why nino's always joking around ;3
i think because of him, arashi is a group that does its best and still knows how to have fun ^^
i also hope that as arashi age together they'd be able to achieve more, learn more, love more.
gambaro!!! ^^
thanks so much for sharing...
thats why i love to read their magazine interview...
it is so deeply " interviewing " them... and what they say reflect who they are ( we ... fans learn their personalities by reading the interview )
Riida's answer is so " yasashi" ( sorry if i spell it wrong ) .. he always say that Leader is just the nickname.. but NO... Riida's soft personality " strongly link " memebers together...
Sho kun and Jun kun say something that so Right in the situation. ( mature thinking )
Nino kun... sometime my heart hurts when I am thinking why and how much Nino chan like to joke around during interview... yeah.... he may not like people to " read him throught" .. but at the same time.. we like Nino ... because of his witty thinking .. and " sharp tongue" ....
Arashi... please grow and age nicely... support !
Ahhh this makes me really smile...I am not a very old Arashi fan..I have grown with them only for a year..And support them online for just a month!! It is so strange that I feel so attached now..Because getting to know them, even for just a short time (I have crammed all the C,D,G's, MMA, Shukudai concerts, guestings in my head since January XD), it is really life-changing.
ARASHI is special, so special they take a huge chunk out of their fans' hearts and fill it with their own :)
