TRANSLATION POTATO 10.2009 JUN X OHNO

I leave the translation them of a part of magazine POTATO I hope that they really like the boys that they strive and they are known very well

It's rare having an interview with Riida.

Yup. It's been a while.

The theme is "Teamwork"

Although people often say "ARASHI gets along well", but we don't do anything consciously.

I guess we are the group that look at the situation around us very well.

We were same as now from the time of our debut.

So this is normal, it doesn't mean much to me when people say "You guys get along well"

...I wonder what others are like.(Laugh)

I guess that ARASHI became this atmosphere because Riida is older and an easy going character.

If someone like me was a leader, maybe we wouldn't get along well.

Saying such a thing by yourself. (Laugh)

There is no distinctions of being older and younger.

When the oldest person in a group is too serious, it is likely to be divided with the younger person.

Sorry, Riida. But I'm saying it in a good meaning.(Laugh)

Is that so....(Laugh)

Riida doesn't interfere.

Because I don't like to be controlled.

But, It is consistent that Riida do and you are stoic to yourself.

If you are the type to over controlled, I think this group didn't continue for this long. (Laugh)

Hun. (with chuckle) When think it now, nothing was considered even if we appeared in the variety program at the time of our debut.

We didn't do anything but laugh.

That only thing we could do.(Laugh) But members character hasn't changed.

Yup. Basically, we haven't changed, but how to show it is different case by case.

Even though we are like that, our "VS ARASHI" goes into prime time from October.

Can you believe such ARASHI san will.(Laugh)

We used to do late night program only.

There was a time when people said "They (ARASHI) have the image of late night." (Laugh)

I don't want to change much because the characteristics of ARASHI seems to disappear when it's made too much.

I think so. Riida, you don't give an opinion at the meeting of a TV and a concert.

When many opinions come out, I don't know what a correct answer is anymore.(Laugh)

Maa, I keep silent because I trust everyone. There is nothing to demand.

Nothing? Seriously?

Yup. Because I have no desire. (Laugh) If a member wants to do in certain way, I won't oppose it.

But you are particular about your solo at the concert.

Maa, That's different.

....Come to think of it, I had an Ohno boom in myself last year.

When was it?

When Riida was doing the drama "Maou" I made such a talk in a magazine to heap up a drama.

You did. I didn't know that. Matsujun, you are always nice.

What's that, all of the sudden!? What nice about me? (Laugh)

In many aspects. You were very attentive.....

You brought throat medicine when I did stage play.

Because your voice was like a New Halfs(transsexuals) (Laugh)

I think I just happened to have that medicine, didn't I?

No, no! You brought it for me. I remember it.

Is that so?

You noticed that my voice did not come out by a Music program and gave me the medicine the next day.

Thanks to you, I was able to do the next performance properly.

Riida has an aesthetics of not to say.

People might think he is irresponsible because he doesn't say anything,

But he is not irresponsible, he does things he supposed to and he also does the things he wants to do.

I think he allows many things.

Matsujun has his own vision in his head but he does listen to others.

I think that's great. So I think Matsujun has wide capacity too. But he is stubborn.(Laugh)

Well, This guy is stubborn too. (Laugh)

I got so angry when we did "West Side Story" together. (Laugh)

Did anything happen?

Remember? The stage director told us "Please create the rivalry even before the performance starts."

Aah. That ne. (Laugh)

(He approached Matsumoto kun's face and stared) At that time I had face like this.

I didn't want to lose. Not to Matsujun, but myself.

At the wings of the stage, Even though I said "Move!" as Bernardo, this guy didn't move stubbornly.(Laugh)

That was, I felt "This area is our territory" and we go on to the scene which we appear pleasantly,

Although it is a wing of the stage, if we lose in that place, we will not come out to the stage comfortably.

So I didn't give in. (Laugh) The last half of play I told Matsujun "Let me kick your butt once." and I kicked.(Laugh)

Right. We did that. We made sure everyone is gone and kicked each others butt.(Laugh)

But I can never co-star with Riida on the stage. Because I can't help laughing.(Laugh)

Me neither. I can't.

This concert tour, there are intervals, it's rather fresh.

That's right! It was fresh every show when we did "Dream A live"

I will rehearse myself when there are intervals between shows.

When I worried about choreography, I'll check it in my head.

The audience will be looking forward to it and I want to enjoy it too. How about you, Riida?

Since it's our 10th anniversary and I think our fans have various thoughts.

I had a feeling that it will be very special.

I'm working out now...

Is that so. What do you do?

Maa, Sit-ups. ...I'm working out for fishing too. (Laugh)

What's that? (He stares Ohno kun)

Because Kokuritsu is outdoors, will be getting sun light.

Therefore, I'm training by going fishing so I won't be defeated by the sun.

And I'm also training with heavy reel, so I don't get tired with the microphone!

A microphone is not that heavy!

Since the top of the ship shakes, it is good to train sense of balance too.

But I came to feel sick when I danced normally the other day. (Laugh)

What is that! (Laugh)

CANCION 5X10 EN ESPAÑOL

Desde que por casualidad nos conocimos

Hemos llorado al darnos cuenta que 10 años han pasado

Globos vuelan alto en el cielo

Nosotros cinco nos tambaleamos en un gran bote que abordamos

Simplemente sonriendo, definitivamente haremos nuestros sueños realidad

Si, ese momento en el pasado cuando dijimos ¿qué hacemos?

Ahora, eso es todo lo que guardamos en nuestros corazones

Incluso los momentos en los que sentimos impaciencia, ansiedad, enfado

Pero gracias a eso te tengo a Ti

A causa de tu mas alegre sonrisa

Siempre estaremos ahí para Ti

Contigo a nuestro lado sosteniéndonos las manos

Este es el tiempo que hemos pasado contigo

Siempre me sentí capaz (confiado) hasta ahora que me siento un poco apenado

La respiración que contuvimos

El dolor que no pudo sostenernos

Porque tu existes, pudimos cambiar de eso a sonreír

El primer sonido fue interpretado antes de que pudiéramos estar co-ordinados

Viendo las diferentes facetas del mundo

Sin darnos cuenta, éstas se metieron dentro de nosotros

Lloramos en serio (Todo nuestro amor para Ti)

Reimos en serio (No tenemos nada más excepto éstas palabras)

Nos preocupamos en serio (Cantando a través del tiempo)

Vivimos en serio (Con ésta cantidad inmensa de amor acumulado)

Ahora podemos estar de pie orgullosos

Paso a paso no hay atajos para acercarse

No tenemos opción pero debemos poner los pies en el camino y creer

Si tu alguna vez lloras

Nosotros te encontraremos aquí una vez más

Este amor nunca cambiará

Enviándote nada más que amor

Y deseos para el futuro

Volando de frente sobre el viento a través de las montañas

Teñiremos lo que esta a tu alrededor con nuestros colores

Contemplando el cielo por nosotros mismos

¿Puedes verlo tu también?

Entonces cantemos juntos hacia el cielo

Si, con todo lo que tienes

Lloramos en serio (Todo nuestro amor para Ti)

Reimos en serio (No tenemos nada más excepto éstas palabras)

Nos preocupamos en serio (Cantando a través del tiempo)

Vivimos en serio (Con ésta cantidad inmensa de amor acumulado)

Ahora podemos estar de pie orgullosos

Si entrelazamos nuestras voces nunca desaparecerán

Haremos una promesa, éste amor durará 100 años

Haremos florecer sonrisas

Estas promesas han estado siempre, siempre en nuestros corazones

Esto es porque queremos decirte...

Gracias, ahora y después gracias

Ahora estando aquí capaces de brillar por ti

Nosotros cinco siempre estaremos aquí

Con todo lo que tenemos transformado en fuerza

Con nuestro inalterable amor envolviéndonos

Eternamente mira eternamente

Esto fue hecho solo para ti y para mi

La la la...

La la la...

Amor, amor para ti...

Amor, amor para ti...

Traduccion de revista "Josei seven"

OTRA TRADUCCION MAS ESPERO QUE SI LES GUSTEN

What compliment would you be happy to hear?

If it is possible to praise me, anything is nice.
Nino will be happy when told " He is good at acting"
However, he doesn't show his feelings when actually praised. (Laugh)
Matsujun...(Looking at the picture of him on the desk) "He is beautiful"
That's not it.(Laugh)
"He is Do S!"
It's out of question!
I will be happy when told "You never changed"
Like my old friend tells me that "You don't change at all!"
I think Aiba kun would be "Do you get depressed?"
Because he likes being cheerful.(Laugh)
To me, "Your big toe is long" I think.
No one will guess that!
To Aiba chan, it will be "He is Baka" Right? (Laugh)
To Riida, "You look better when you are tanned."
Since he was told that he got too dark from fishing, so I think he will be happy if its approved
"You are good at drawing" Right?
(Smiling)
Because this guy is simple, when saying something like that, he will be all right.
(Smiling more)

TRADUCCION A INGLES DE LA REVISTA MONTHLY TELEVISION

Aqui les dejo la traducción de esta revista ojalá les guste lo que los chicos dicen bueno lo que digan nos parece genial , increíble , etc. cierto chicas sea lo que sea jajajaja...!

t seems like we heard "Memorable 20th singles release!" recently,
But now It's the 26th single in total in no time.
And "All the BEST! 1999-2009" which includes all the singles which will be released on August 19th.
Which one was our 20th single?
Was it "Happiness"?
I see. We released 6 more singles since then.
We were allowed to release a lot, especially this year.
That's right.
I heard that it's not that easy to get the first limited editions everytime.
I was told that too.
I got a text from my mom about it. Sha said "There is no first limited edition!"

That's right.
Every time you guys release new singles,
Fans are desperate to get first limited edition.

Is that so. (Surprised)
Even it's a limited edition, I thought that it was put in the store plenty.
ARASHI, I'm so happy for you.
The meaning of "limited" is accomplished.
I'm happy too. (Crying)
Although I feel bad for all of the fans to have hard time getting reservations,
but this time it comes with Disc 3 which containing 10 songs chosen by the 5 of us.
So when I heard everyone's looking forward to it, I feel it was worth selecting.

Was it hard to narrow down to 10 songs from the quite a few songs including the songs from the album?
I think. Especially Sho chan. Because one song was decided for him already.
Yes. Ohno san decided for me.
At first, we each chose 3 songs, then we discussed and narrowed it down to 10 songs.
But Ohno san said, "I thought Sho kun will chose this song, so I dare not choose that one."
...So I felt I had to choose that song. (Laugh)
What was about that Ohno selection (Laugh)
Because that song had strong image of Sho kun

Even I listen to it from the beginning, I think I will feel may things.
It's 10 years.
I wonder how long it will take to listen to the whole thing.
It will take a lot.
I want to try it.
・・・・

Try it. (Laugh)
You don't need to wait for the album to release to do that!
Why don't you do that first then tell us the result!
That's not it! I want to do it with the actual album.
Don't you understand that feeling?
AH~~
Not like jump ahead than everyone else.

Even if you hear the present voice and compare it with a voice 10 years ago, the change is interesting!?
10 years ago, Satoshi kun was 18 years old and Matsujun and Nino were 15 or 16 years old?
It's quite different from now. After all, the time of 10 years is amazing.
Did our voice change?
I think we did a little, didn't we?
Of course we did.
I think we did.
Everyone has grown up. Riida is almost 30 years old?!
And he's absorbed to Maiko san (Japanese dancing geisha) even now.
Eh~, Let us explain it to you.
There was a book which introduces Japan that was in the guest room in a hotel where we interviewed ARASHI.
Ohno kun was staring at a page that had a Maiko san (Japanese dancing geisha),
Hey! You better be involved in this interview. Say something.
I wonder if Maiko sans wear wigs?

When the song titles are put in order, there are many weather related titles in the early days
Then, it's changed since "Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru".
Has it changed a lot?
The next song "Jidai" too. It's different entirely in the songs at that time.
Recently, I listened to "Jidai" again, and I thought the song is cool.
I used to listened to the one which was arranged for concerts a lot,
I felt it's cool when I listen to single "Jidai"
It has a different tempo.
That's right. It was fresh.
Then, from the next song, "a Day in Our Life" has changed.

While Aiba san was saying really nice things,
Ninomiya san was looking through Monthly Television and found the ad for "The Television HOMME"!
He showed everyone the phrase "Koge men"
It can't be real, "Koge men" (Laugh)
How come!?
Ohno san, you finally did it. (Laugh)

His time has come!
When you say "Koge men" it's either Ohno Satoshi or Matsuzaki Shigeru.
I will get more tan then.

Hey wait! Let us explain to you.
"Koge men" means The man who are shinning with a passionate mind.
Ah~, I see.
So it isn't a really a tanned person.
That's right. Riida, you must continue to be careful not to get too tanned.
.....Hai. (Laugh)
Let's get back.....
Un. Maa, There are memories in each song and remembers many things with it.
How about the see through out fit for "A.RA.SHI"
Also speaking of costumes, "Nice na Kokoroiki" too.
We had our hair parted at the side and wore suits.
And wore glasses too. We couldn't tell who is who. (Laugh)
We all wore the same outfits ne!
We sung "Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru" for USJ(Univerasl Studio Japan) before it opened.
That was for Music Station!
Yes, yes. I thought we are able to enjoy all the attractions before everyone else,
but after we finished singing, the car came and we were forced to get in.(Cry)
We couldn't see the Attractions, Fireworks, nor Schwa chan( Arnold Schwarzenegger who was the guest for the opening event)
We wanted to meet Schwa chan. We were so close to him but just watching him through the monitor.
Didn't we sing "SUNRISE Nippon" in front of the Tokyo tower?
That was the one where Matsunii came.
AH~~!
He did. He did!!
I think TOKIO Niisans were working near by studio,
Matsuoka kun came by when he heard that we are going to film the song.
Then, he bled. (Laugh)
(Sho chan burst out laughing)
That's right. I think he hit his forehead.
I think he has hit it because he ran so fast and hit his head on the set. (Laugh)
(Sho chan still laughing so hard)
We said, "Matsunii~ You're bleeding!!"
Then he borrowed an Uchiwa from our fan and hid his scar but still entertained us.
He is so cool, Matsunii.
( Sho chan seems to be dying from too much laughing)
It was so funny. He is the best Senpai. (Laugh)

Old stories are always fun.

Your 10th anniversary tour will start from that memorable Kokuritsu Kyogijo.
What it will be like?

Ohno san please tell them about it!
You will be able to listen to the BEST album entirely...the feeling like
That means you won't be able to listen to the entire album. (Laugh)
How much can they listen?
What about the image Ohno san has?
U~n. I think they will feel like they listened to the entire songs.
I think they can go home without thinking that we didn't play certain song.
If your favorite song was excluded, please listen to it by CD on the way home.
That's sad. (Laugh)
I want to make it to the concert with appreciation for the people who have supported us.
I think so too.
I think it will be hard doing a rehearsal in this season.
I think we will get tanned.
The last year we did it in September, and still we got tanned during rehearsal.
We will be burned.
We will become "Koge men"
No time to get burned. Not only a concerts, more fun things are jam-packed for this year.
We better appeal that to the each media. Even though, ARASHI are still available for later half of 2009.
We can do more!
What should we do? If some junior high school called us and asked to perform for their school festival?
School festival for our 10th anniversary? (Laugh) It will be trouble if we get too many requests for that. (Laugh)
Well, well, If they insist, We will send our Koge men(Ohno) alone to perform. Since he is the passionate one.
He may go to your city alone and talk about his passionate thoughts.(Laugh)
(Stunned look)
Continuously, We are accepting offers for ARASHI

Traducción a ingles de la AN · AN

La traducción esta super espero que les guste y pues la revista es la especial de los 10 años

AIBA

I watch "Tensai! Shimura Dobutsuen" whenever I can.
And I'm thinking "Aiba chan is shinning!" while watching it.
Someday, I who love animals wants to be on it.
Also, I am thinking of getting a dog so I get some advice from him.
After all, he knows a lot about animals.
and he said "There are many breeders I can introduce you to"
I thought he is so reliable.
I've known him for a long time, but that is maybe the first time I thought he is reliable. (Laugh)

At the time of our debut, we went on the road to support volleyball games
I always stayed in the same hotel room as Aiba chan
Even though we had 10 hours of free time, we didn't do anything but watching TV without a word.
With Aiba chan, It's so weird that I feel so comfortable even if we had no conversation in particular.
When we had a dance practice,
I know that he works very hard and will always stay till the end and have lessons.
"Don't work so hard" I quietly tell him here.

He is ARASHI's mood maker(person who inspires others)
He is cheerful, he is easily moved to tears.
He is a person who makes the surroundings completely bright like the sun.
But I also have many concerns. (Laugh)
Though he checked many times for the rehearsal of a music program today, he couldn't dance at all.
He's been doing this for 10 years now, Is he alright? (Laugh)
After all, Aiba chan got soaked in sweat and was dancing hard at the actual performance.
His point we can recommend to a girl?
According from Aiba chan, "Can get in any zoo for free" so you won't have a problem going on a date.(Laugh)

Aiba kun became more energetic in these 10 years.
It seems fun working with animals, I hope he keeps going as it is.
But when I saw the scar he got from a Kangaroo on his shoulder, I was worried.
I didn't know that he was doing such hard work. I'll never be able to do it. I will just give up.
He is amazing that he challenges anything without complaints.

JUN

When I look back at these 10 years,
I think Matsujun is the one changed his hair style the most.
Although his eyebrows have never changed.(Laugh)
Speaking of an unforgettable thing,
When I was sick and I wasn't able to go to work,
Matsujun went for me instead.
Moreover it was very early in the morning...
Even now, I appreciate that one truly!
Matsujun is the person who can pay careful attention to others,
and that doesn't change from the past.
Because I'm not good at such things, so I think Matsujun who can be attentive casually is cool.
Whenever we all go to a Yakiniku restaurant, Matsujun always takes the lead and cooks for us.
Moreover, he serves it in a plate and divides it neatly.
Of course he is popular with girls, even I, a man, will also fall in love with him.
I think it will be fun going to a day trip Yakiniku tour with him in South Korea.
Matsujun will take care of everything, and I will say "I'm full, Shall we go home?"

When I met Matsujun for the first time, he was still little.
Moreover, he used polite language to me and I was a bit embarrassed.
He talks to me on equal terms now before I realized it. (Laugh)
A long time ago, we played roles who fought against each other in the play,
Everyday, 5 minutes before performance,
we stared at each other silently and we raised our spirit by a stage sleeve.
We were serious back then, but I will be laughing if we do it now.
If we get the same day off, I'll bring Matsujun to the park and play badminton.
And I want to see his face saying "What a pain!" (Laugh)
Although he is bothered about everything, still he would likely to do it with a smile.
That's how Matsujun is.

He is a typical blood A type. He can be attentive tenderheartedly.
But he also fairly keeps his own pace.
Matsujun's text messages are cute.
A emoticon of fireworks was used for the message I got from him on my birthday, and it was very fresh.
He also does background work like production in a concert. I think that is good.
I want to actually see how he produces artists other than ARASHI.
If we spend a day off together, I guess it will be at the movie theater.
Since he watched a lot of movies.
Or we can go to the DVD store together and have him pick one for me.

Though he became strong to everything in these 10 years, his gentleness doesn't change at all.
He was gentle back then, but that's becoming bigger
It isn't easy to be gentle to others, but Jun is really gentle.
Therefore I have no worries nor a request to Jun. Because he is perfect.
The other day, he even made a "SMILE"s staff T-shirts for me.
I happened to be in the next studio filming when he was taking orders for the T-shirts,
so I put my name, "Ninomiya" on the order form for a size M.
Then he texted me "Do you really want it?"
Oh, what happened to my T-shirts? (He asked the manger and got one)
It is just because we were allowed to do the drama for the same TV stations at the same time.
It was never like that before.
So when I think about it, Don't you feel deep emotion?
I will wear this T-shirts at my stage practice ne!

NINO

Nino is the type that hasn't changed his impression since the first time we met.My image of him, just playing games forever (Laugh)
He always pulls himself a step back and is watching his surroundings.
Probably for that reason, I often think that he has a completely opposite character to me
I think that he looks at everything from a different viewpoint from me.
What's great about Nino is that he's skillful with his hands.
He improved in magic all too soon
I honestly thought it is amazing.
If I spend a day off with Nino, it will be hanging out at the Manga Cafe and reading. I will have Nino show me his recommended mangas.
And we will sit at the couple seat, and we get absorbed into each world. something like that.

When I think about Nino, I have an image of Baseball.
We often play baseball together, and he used to say "I want to become a professional baseball player"
Did he give up that dream already? (Laugh)
I often go out to dinner with Nino privately.
If I were a girl and had to chose a boyfriend from the members of ARASHI, I think it will be Nino.
The conversation seems to grow lively smoothly, well, it's just an imagination
Recently, he mastered magic thoroughly at a professional level.
Even work or hobby, I think that being possible to be absorbed in one thing is what's great about Nino.


I can say that the charm of Nino is everything.
If I gave him a catchphrase, it will be "Almighty Man"
I especially, admire the progress of his magic skills.
Everyone forgets the demystification of the magic itself but admire the way Nino handles his fingers marvelously. (Laugh)
The best memory with such Nino is "Ohmiya SK" of course.
We were shinning back then....
But even now, my zeal over "OhmiyaSK"s re-formation has not changed.
If I get day off suddenly, I will ask Nino out and go to some fancy good store
I'm so curious what he "The Almighty man" will buy at the store.
I occasionally think that I do not want to be defeated by Nino.
For example, if Nino would go to Roppongi Hills for a date,
I would go to a more newer place such as Midtown. (Laugh)
I wonder why I feel that way.

Nino is a man who can sense situations.
He is quick witted and good at listening to others.
I got saved by him many times when I'm in charge of MC.
I feel that especially when we have a guest older than us on our variety show.
Everyone opens up to him.
And Nino is the Man who is skillful. He can handle anything.
I think the magic which he is into recently is the prime example.
Without any effort, he can do it well easily.
If Nino weren't in ARASHI, I think he should be an author.
He wrote a song for his solo, it has a very good view of the world.
There is a tale in the lyrics which he wrote.
Therefore I want to read the thing which he wrote as a work.
If I ask him to go out, it will be to a BBQ
Since his image is indoor, I want to take him outside.
But, even if he came, I think he may be playing games in the corner. (Laugh)

OHNO

He asserts his favorite things, like a having art exhibition and something he wanted to do, and he has an expanding the world one after another, I think that is a good.
Though I had an impression that he cares about his surroundings and forced a smile back then.
But the lately he is not caring about his surroundings at all.(Laugh)
But in ARASHI, his looseness is really good.
He is picking his nose while being interviewed right now.(Laugh)
Well, the other day, I was surprised when he suddenly gave me clothes.
When I said that I liked clothes I wore for a photo shoot,
He said " Then, I'll get it for you" and he bought it for me
I thought he is generous.
But I wonder what that was about?
Next time, I will give him something in return. (Laugh)
If I go somewhere with Riida?
U~n. I think I want to go to fishing together.
And I'll film Riida fishing for a long time with a camera.
I want to show our fans what Ohno Satoshi is like normally!

When we went to Hawaii for ARASHI's debut event,
Everybody else went to play in between work,
but Riida and I stayed in the room and did nothing.
We went to have some Ramen when we got hungry
I now think we should've eaten something local and did something in a Hawaiian style. (Laugh)
However, it is a good memory now.
These days he often goes fishing, so he gets sunburned.
Isn't he too tanned...I'm worried.
I love Riida's looseness in a good way.
I think that only Riida can create that kind of atmosphere, and it relaxes me.
Will you go golfing together next time if we get the same day off?
We never hit the golf course together, but I think Riida is good at it.

Riida is one of a kind. Very strange.
The other day, after we finish filming a variety show, He said "Oh, I forgot to say a word"
Can you believe it?
I thought this guy is unreal.
I want Riida to take me fishing again.
Because it was so much fun last time we went.
When we went fishing, he prepared everything,
Fishing poles and lures and he took care of everything.
He never took care of anything at the anywhere!
I was able to see Riida's big brother like part.

With Ohno san, we used to say that "We want to quit" at the time of our debut
I don't remember when we stopped thinking about those,
but now we both appreciate what ARASHI have done to us.
Ohno san will never change.
I guess he's only grown in age.
He doesn't hide anything,
To explaining Ohno san, I think it's the best to say that he is just like what you watched on TV.
What? Toma said that "Ohno kun is never upset about anything, He had a charisma"?
I don't know, but I don't feel any charisma on him.(Laugh)
Because I'm with him for a long time.
It's so nice of him enjoy the things he likes freely, such as drawings, making figurine or fishing.
But he should be careful of getting too tanned.
It's okay to go fishing but if you get too tanned it will cause a problem with work.

SHO

Sho kun is a dedicated person.
Whether he is working or in private, he does everything in perfect order.
When I text him, he will reply right away.
On days off, he is the type to make a plan neatly and manage the schedule.
Because I'm the type which goes out without deciding what to do when I'm off.
So I think that he who neatly decides and acts neatly is admirable.
I think that his having changed most in these ten years is having started work in a news media
Surely I think that it is the field that he wanted to do all the time.
So that it's really wonderful that he turn that into a job.
Above all, a newscaster suits him very well.
As Sakurai Sho which is different from ARASHI,
I think it is very good that he has the place to which things are told in his own word in his line of vision.
I will continue to support "NEWS ZERO"!

Do you remember, the last time we went to buy clothes at Roppongi Hills in between work.
We were like couples and saying "What do think of this one? Does this looks good on me?"
I guess the shop clerk must of been turned off by that.(Laugh)
But it was an unforgettable memory with Sho kun.
Ever since Sho kun's dream to become a newscaster came true,
He reads the newspaper every morning and I'm so proud of him.
He would of probably been a school teacher if he didn't become an idol.
He has knowledge, and seems to be good at teaching.
He would surely become popular among the students.
But I think Sho kun is suitable for this industry.
It doesn't limit it to a serious news programming,
he can show his originality even by the drama and the variety shows.
The diversity of work and the flexibility are splendid!
But how come your body is so stiff?
When you break your arm muscle during arm wrestling
I couldn't believe that part of your body was stiff too!?
If you are planning to go to a Yoga class, I will come with you.

I often run into Sho kun in my private, by chance.
I was so surprised to see him at the Tenjin festival in Osaka.
When I met Sho kun by chance while there were tens of thousands of people, I was really surprised.
I think we have a similar wavelength.
He said, "I want to become a caster" for a long time,
When his dream was fulfilled, I was happy too.
I'm always watching Sho kun reading News on television,
since I can't do that so I still think it's amazing! (Laugh)
However, when he is on the variety program....
What is that gap!?
But that is Sho kun's characteristics, so please stay as is.
Sho kun's drawings, I love them.
If I were a girl, I will definitely be in love with them
Because it is possible to laugh deeply at any time if his drawing is seen. (Laugh)
I went fishing with him once for a magazine coverage,
Do you remember you said "Let's go privately next time."
I haven't forgotten that promise!

Not to mention his Intelligence and fast thinking,
What's amazing about Sho chan is, that he understands perfectly the contents about which he is talking.
That's why there is no contradiction in a flow of his talk, his words and expression is accurate.
It is not that anyone can do. I think.
Although for such Sho chan, I want him to reach to an extreme from now on is,....
("Hip Hop, right?" Sakurai san breaks in)
No, it's a comedy.
That comic skit he did with Zabungle san and Antoki no Inoki san were a smash hit in me
Things I concerned about him, that he doesn't know when to stop.
When he wanted to lose weight a little and started a diet, he won't know what a little is
Those I want him to be careful.
