Arashi – Who’s the Most Likeable Member?

Music magazine “Oricon Style (オリ★スタ)” has conducted a survey on “Which male artist has the higher likeability”. Popular group Arashi (嵐) won the 1st, bearing down all other artists such as Mr. Children or Masaharu Fukuyama (福山雅治). In the news program “Zoom-in!! Saturday(ズームイン!!サタデー)” on March 27th, Satoshi Ohno (大野智) and Masaki Aiba (相葉雅紀) talked about their likeability.

Ohno was asked about the reason of their likability at the shooting scene of the drama “Kaibutsu Kun/怪物くん (lit. Little monster)”, and he answered “Isn’t it normal?” with Ohno-style. As to the question, “Which member of Arashi has won the best likability?”, Ohno said: “It is Aiba-chan, isn’t it?” because Aiba has become more and more popular after playing the main role in the drama “My Girl (マイガール)”.

On the other hand, Aiba was interviewed at another place with the question who was the most favorable member, “Honestly speaking, it is me (laugh). No, it’s a joke. I’m joking.” Aiba answered humorously. Then interviewer told Aiba that “Ohno-kun answered ‘Aiba-chan’ to the same question.” Aiba was like “What?! Me? It’s so embarrassing…Leader didn’t say ‘Me’??” It seems Aiba was quite confused with Ohno’s response.

Arashi’s new single “Troublemaker” was released on March 3rd and now has hit big nationwide. Their DVD “ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5×10” is scheduled to release on April 7th and is expected to take over the chart again.

Aww, those two are always so humble. I love how each member praises one another on their achievements.

Arashi opens ARASHI LAND in Hokkaido this summer

According to what was sent to us earlier tonight, they will officially announce tomorrow about opening of the place where anyone can feel Arashi’s atmosphere freely anytime. Arashi have planned this project in return for their fans who made it possible for them to celebrate their gorgeous 10th anniversary. After run-up of more than one year, the construction is going to be finished before long. So it seems like they have finally decided to announce this confidential project.

ARASHI LAND is composed of the theme zones which are produced by each members.

Aiba Masaki zone: zoo with usable systems from ‘Masaki.com’
Matsumoto Jun zone: amusement park which features tremendous roller-coasters as a main ride
Sakurai Sho zone: safety inspected rental boat made of paper, salt and so on
Ohno Satoshi zone: fishing pond where even red sea bream and bonito can be found
Ninomiya Kazunari zone: utterly original game arcade (includes everything even the game soundtracks)

It is said that other features such as futsal ground, karaoke with petit-lifter and petit-truck and even a belt conveyor restaurant of familiar food at Shukudai-kun are also under construction. We only know the site is in Hokkaido, but the access seems to be considerably bad because they said it takes one hour by bicycle from nearest railway station. Therefore Arashi seems to be enthusiastic to build the hotel near the ARASHI LAND at any cost by their 15th anniversary. However, they said the problem is Ohno Satoshi insists that the hotel must be built by Arashi themselves.

As I am afraid this project will be quite problematic, I will interview about them in detail at tomorrow’s press conference.

Happy April Fools!! LOL Were you fooled? Not I this time , I recalled reading something similar last year, but still had a good laugh while skimming through this one. It’s a wonderful joke ne, wish it were true though or I would be the first in line to order tickets. Maybe the boys can open something like this for their 20th anniversary along with conquering space. LOL
