Nino’s Cell Phone Wallpaper Is Jun-kun

by Fiona

Arashi member Ninomiya Kazunari is leading a successful career as an actor as well as an artist. For today let’s take a look at a rather strange side he showed during a recently broadcast radio program! It all started when a question sent by a fan was read out. “In [the magazine] POPOLO, [Matsumoto] Jun-kun said that Nino [Ninomiya] was using a picture of Jun-kun as his cell phone wallpaper. Is that true? What sort of photo is it?” Ninomiya pulled out his cell phone and showed the wallpaper to the other members inside the radio booth. “When I asked [Matsumoto] ‘Was this taken when you were 17 or something?’ he got mad and said ‘That’s when I was learning how to walk!’” He really was using a photo of a very young Matsumoto as his wallpaper. “(In the picture) His facial features are pronounced.” “He has long legs. He looks like Donald Duck. Why are all babies like that? How old was he?” Though nobody knew exactly why he was so interested, Ninomiya has been obsessed with baby Matsumoto ever since.

Ninomiya had used photos of people close to him as wallpapers, like his mother, sister and a young Ohno. Last year he even used a photo of Kansai Johnny’s Jr. member Kiriyama Akito. On a side note Aiba apparently is using a photo of a child actor who he is costarring with as his wallpaper. Matsumoto is using a black and white picture of Ohno Satoshi for a peculiar reason. “Because it looks like a photo of a deceased person.” Lots of different kinds of pictures are being used among the members as wallpapers. But from people outside the group it might all look a bit strange!

Aww, Matsumiya is just too darn cute, brought such a big smile on my face. This is why I love Arashi sooo much, they genuinely care for one another with no shame!

Because it looks like a photo of a deceased person. LOL I laughed so hard when I read that! Poor Riida, Jun-kun is such a DoS, no really. LOL XDDD

Now I’m wondering what the other member’s wallies are — Riida: maybe his most prized catch(fish) or Chinen-kun; Aiba: probably Koharu-chan (read somewhere that he was, she is so kawaii) and Sho-kun: Yattaman??

Matsumoto Jun – Wagaya no Rekishi’s Preview

by Fiona

Wow, the first commercial for Jun-kun’s drama special has already been aired. It feels a bit too early for it, spring 2010 seem so far away. However, it’s a great mini-preview, definitely has a Showa period feel to it.

Jun-kun looks cute here! Though, I still need to get use to the other casts’ hairstyles. This drama is going to be something good!

Matsumoto Jun tackles mundane chore for member

by Fiona

Found this article on Music Japan, he is so sweet and such an angel!

Arashi has been extremely busy these days, what with their 10th anniversary concert, new releases, TV appearances including several members filming dramas. But in private Matsumoto Jun has been spending much of his time on a ‘hobby’ which some might find tedious. Let’s look at what he said during his radio program ‘JUN STYLE’ broadcast on September 12th…

During the summer, Arashi had participated in an event hosted by a TV station. While heading to their ‘VS嵐 / VS Arashi’ event area [‘VS嵐 / VS Arashi’ is a weekly TV program hosted by Arashi], the [popular RPG] Dragon Quest booth caught their attention. Lots of different Dragon Quest merchandise was being sold.

“I hadn’t come up with a good idea for a birthday present to give to Nino [Ninomiya]. Then I found Nino looking really interested in the merchandise.”

From among the merchandise, Matsumoto bought a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle that Ninomiya had especially liked. He told Ninomiya that he was buying it as his birthday present. But for some reason Matsumoto added that he will complete the jigsaw puzzle and give Ninomiya the finished product. Now, solving the puzzle has become his daily chore.
But the puzzle seems to have been more difficult than he had first thought…

“I’m barely managing to put together the letters of the title ‘Dragon Quest’. I’m nowhere near working on the characters.”
“I haven’t played with jigsaw puzzles for ages. It’s really hard work.”

Right now Ninomiya is playing ‘Dragon Quest IX’ on his Nintendo DS. Matsumoto said that he plans to give the puzzle before Ninomiya finishes the game. Just imagining Matsumoto spending almost all his spare time cooped up in his house and mulling over a jigsaw puzzle must make fans smile.
Let’s hope he can complete the puzzle soon!
Keep on looking for more developments from Arashi and Matsumoto’s jigsaw puzzle!

Matsumiya rabu rabu, ne!! I can imagine him waiting impatiently to get home and trying to finish a portion of the puzzle. He is just to adorable and cares so much for his band members. That is why I admire and love him so much! I hope he will be able to complete it before Nino finishes the game. Ganbatte Jun-kun!
