Sakurai Sho – New Mitsuya Cider CM

by Fiona

Arashi (嵐) member Sho Sakuari (櫻井翔) will star in the new CM of Mitsuya Cider (三ツ矢サイダー) with Shonentai (少年隊) member Noriyuki Higashiyama (東山紀之). They attended the press conferment on March 15th. It is announced that Sakurai would play the main role in “Mitsuya Cider”‘s CM titled “Cider boys”, while Higashiyama would be in “Mitsuya Cider All Zero”‘s CM titled “Evolution”.

As the “junior” member of the same company, Sakurai said: “When I was in a car the other day, I saw Mr. Higashiyama, wearing a jersey, running with full speed in the street. And I though ‘oh, that is Mr. Higashiyama’s private life of the rumor.'” And Higashiyama responded tenderly with a little embarrassment: “You saw me!”

However, there is a similar scene in the CM with Higashiyama running, and he commented: “I showed myself. And I think human beings can grow without limitation.”
“Mr. Higashiyama is always progressing with the age.” said Sakurai with an admiring look.

In the chapter “Cider Boys” of Sakurai, Arashi’s new song titled “To be free” will be used to match the refreshing and clear image of Mitsuya Cider. The instrumental version will be used in the chapter “Clear Quality” as well. The new CM has been on air from March 16th. Check it out!

This is so refreshing and very spring-like ne. The background is Arashi’s new song, To be Free. It sounds beautiful, hopefully it will be released on the next single.

A glance at Sakurai Sho’s future plans

by Fiona

I had found a nice little write-up about Sho-kun’s upcoming goals and wanted to share it with you.

Arashi member Sakurai Sho is playing the main character who is a hot-blooded and kind young administrative scrivener in the drama “Tokujo Kabachi/特上カバチ!!”. “The guy (I played) is a fresh greenhorn. It reminds me of struggling recklessly.” commented Sakurai.

Even last year was Arashi 10th anniversary, the character named “Tamura Kazuhiro” made him get back to basics.
The drama is based on a popular manga, comically depicting the growth of Tamura who is full of sense of justice. And Sakurai aims to perform “a town lawyer who you want to be around.” Dramas, songs, TV programs…we probably can see more progress on Arashi members this year.

However, what is “特上(lit. premium)” to Sakurai in his life? “I think it is being a member of Arashi and having fun with my work. Other four members are very cool guys as well.” answered Sakurai. He was also asked what he would do if he were not an artist, he replied: “I want to work overseas, and, maybe as a journalist.” He revealed he wanted to play as “a detective” in the future. And who he wanted to meet with? “The speech writer of Obama. I want to meet him. I heard that he is the same age with me.” as a famous newscaster, he really has a wide field of vision.

Sakurai also said if he could have one month vacation, he would like to go abroad because he likes traveling: “I’d like to travel around the Europe by train.” By the way, having dinner at night is the time with most spirit for him!

And as to his favorite object used with longest time is “a pen box bought at the second grade of middle school and I had been using it until two years ago.” That is quite amazing! Finally he had to buy a new one to replace, but “Currently maybe it’s the clock I bought when I graduated from the university.” said Sakurai.
