Arashi comments on their 11th year

by Fiona

Arashi (嵐) is celebrating their 11th anniversary this year. In addition to music, they are busy with dramas, CMs and variety shows as well. In the last episode of the drama “Tokujou Kabachi!! (特上カバチ！！)” starring Sho Sakurai (櫻井翔) which to be aired on March 21st, the leader Satoshi Ohno (大野智) will appear as a guest. One day before the shooting, during the break of the Arashi regular TV show, he practiced lines with Kazunari Ninomiya (二宮和也) and made one shot pass.

Each member shared their own thoughts on the group on the occasion of 11th anniversary.

Satoshi Ohno: “I am happy that we have received a lot of greeting at the 10th anniversary. However, Arashi hasn’t changed basically.”

Masaki Aiba (相葉雅紀): “I will cherish everything from now and hope to express my passion to everyone.”

Jun Matsumoto (松本潤): “I want to learn something from last past ten years and show a brand new side of Arashi in this year.”

Kazunari Ninomiya: “No matter being happy or bitter, all five of us will take and move forward together. This is Arashi.”

Sho Sakurai: “‘They seem happy, they are doing something silly.’ I will be happy if everyone will feel the same with us.”

They were asked about what they wanted to do most.
Matsumoto: “I simply want to return to the start and straighten up everything.”
Aiba: “Diving. I want to see the world deep under the ocean.”
Ninomiya: “I want to try to compose game music, seriously.”
Ohno: “I want to travel around the world.”
Sakurai: “I want to review the drama of 80’s.”

Obviously, deep bond among members can be seen from their comment, as well as their challenge spirit.

Nino is sweet ne, helping out Riida with his lines for the guest appearance on Tokujou Kabachi!! Also, Neener + game music would be a sure win, I would definitely buy it.

So Oh-chan wants to travel around the world, I really hope he comes to the US. We welcome him and his cruiser at anytime.

Kyaa~~Jun-kun should definitely wear more sleeveless shirts now! XO The choreography was a tad different than Utaban’s, both of which I adore. Love the bright and happy atmosphere, the boys appear to be having so much fun. Wasn’t the Yama pair kawaii when they formed a ♥? I had watched it a few times, each brought endless smiles.
