I enjoyed all of Arashi variety show, they dominated my screen time when I began my journey back in 2008. It was everything Japanese then and if I found time, it was always with Arashi. I probably joined every fan translation group available out there. 😂Thank you so much to all of them, I am forever grateful. Arashi was just pure entertainment, high-energy and simply fun to watch. Some times, I even learned a few things here and there. They were just being themselves and quite dorky. 😆 However, my favorite among their gazillion shows is Mago Mago Arashi.
On this show, I love how two members were paired to play grandsons for a day for an elderly couple. It was pre-Hanadan days and they could just go out normally without being mobbed by fans. The elderly couples usually didn’t who they were and they just simply play their part, they were still very young back then.🌱
I also loved whenever JunToshi (MatsuJun and Ohno-chan) appeared on screen together, they are my favorite pairing by the way. 😍 This was super rare, only three times I believe, out of a total of 125 episodes for Mago Mago. It was always fun to watch them together. I adored their playful chemistry between with the oldest and the youngest member. I don’t remember when I starting shipping these two, just I love them together. Super cute! 🥰 Hey, they are the only two members who still are not married yet ( maybe Oh-chan in secret who knows lol). I don’t mind in real life if they both of them got together, it will never happened, but one can dream. 😏
Any who, I really hope that one day that Japan will release all of Arashi variety shows on whatever format they like, may it be Blu-Ray or DVD, I will definitely purchase to keep. Maybe for starters, have them available on streaming. Doki TV has a couple of episodes of Himitsu no Arashi-chan, I think they renamed it to Must Be ARASHI. This is a very good start, let’s keep our fingers crossed for more. 🤞
I found a few Mago Mago Arashi online and still enjoy rewatching them at time. I hope more will be available soon. You can find them here.
