Yoshiii, News Zero's gonna start anytime on NTV now! :D

Anyway, shall share the translations of Arashi's interview for Popolo Feb issue (I bought it, haha. XD)! Much love to An-chan for the precious translations! ♥ :D

Fyi, the topic of the interview was member-ai (member love) and these are the responses by each member about what they like about one another. :D I think I'm only gonna post mostly Nino's (♥♥♥) and Aiba's (♥♥) responses but the more interesting/cute ones to certain members only, hahaaa. :D ICHIBAN & NIBAN! (L)

Nino
"Our likes are similar when it comes to ball games."

I often eat out with Nino-chan after concerts & what we like to do during our leisure time is similar too. We play baseball together, so we go to baseball batting centres together. Sometimes, we also play golf together if we have time. In the past, we used to play bowling & billiards too. But it's kinda weird for 2 guys to go bowling alone ne [laughs].

Nino likes to play video games. Though I don't really play it, but it seems like we both like active type of leisure activities. And it all seems to be ball games. So what will we try next, because it's winter now, so I said I wanted to challenge bobsleigh...... Ah, I blurted this out just because I happen to recall it [laughs].

(OMG, GORUFU/GOLF?!?! HAHAHA! SUPER SURPRISING TO KNOW THAT NINO PLAYS GOLF! :O And.. BOWLING AND BILLIARDS?!?!?! AAAAAAHHH I LIKE BOTH ACTIVITIES (even though I've yet to try out the latter D:)!! D: I love my ichiban & niban so muchhhhh, HAHA.
Haha bobsleigh?! I shall search for that to find out what exactly it is, later. XD)

Sho
"He has a cute face & he is a soft macho."

There is a lot of things that I like about Sho-chan & amongst those, I like his muscles relatively more [laughs]. Because he is a soft macho. He may not have that image but when he takes off his clothes, it's actually quite impressive [laughs]. That expression may be a bit exaggerating, but his muscles are very hard, though he is just a bit macho. But that's not 'soft' (soft macho) anymore right? [laughs]. And muscles which are hard are not very useful right? Then I won't be praising Sho-chan anymore [laughs]. (They are supposed to say what they like about each other, so by right, they should saying good points about each other)

Ah, that's right! Sho-chan has a cute face but he has an armor of muscles. I like that part about him [laughs].

(MASSIVE Sakuraiba loveee in Aiba's response ♥!)

Nino
"I'm interested in his cute hands!!"

I'm interested in Nino's hands. Did you know that? His hands are very small & cute. But it's not a girl's kind of cute, the way I say it may sound rude, but his fingers are short & plump, like a thick hamburger...... In other words, it's badly-shaped but cute [laughs]. If I use dogs as an analogy, something like a bulldog. I like that (that as in ugly but cute kind of cute).

His small hands should be an disadvantage when he is performing his magic tricks. But he covered up that weakness with the dexterity of his hands. Magic really come in handy when communicating with people whom you first meet. Like you can liven up the mood at the drama set. We've seen too much already, so we aren't really surprised by his tricks, but he'll busily show us other tricks [laughs].

(I just HAD to bold the entire chunk in Jun's response to Nino... HONESTLY, I DIED WHEN I READ THISSSSSSSSSS. JUN, I LOVE YOU FOR SAYING THIS ABOUT NINO!!!!!!!!!! :D AND "WELCOME TO THE STOCKINGU NINO'S HANDS FANCLUB WORLD~" ^ ^
Demo.. I don't really get what Jun means by 'bulldog'. :o The picture of wrinkly fingers comes to my mind instead.. those so aren't Nino's fingers lor! XD)

THE BEST SAVED FOR THE LASTTTTTT. ♥

Aiba
"It's fun because he's really interesting yo!"

I like Aiba-kun because he is interesting. This person really interesting. Like just a while ago, he was making a lot of noise. I brought some manga today & he was shouting "I can't find volume 3. I can't find volume 3." It was just inside the bag where I put all the manga [laughs]. Most people would search the bag first if they can't find it right? But Aiba-kun doesn't do that [laughs]. He was searching for it so intently on the table and in the dressing room. It was really interesting.

In variety shows too, when Aiba-chan talks, it's funny/interesting & the mood becomes cheerful. Although sometimes he says things that doesn't make sense because he is a natural airhead, but that's Aiba-chan ne.

(XDDDDDD I love the Aimiya rabu here!!!! Aasdkjbasdjhbasdjsad; (L) Such situations of Aiba being a clumsy klutz and making a fool out of himself and Nino being aware of the whole situation and laughing at him is just too common when these two cute boys are together ♥)

Sho
"I quite like the shape of his shoulders!"

I like Sho-kun's sloping shoulders. Good style. (LOL?????) If he runs, it seems he can be very fast. Because his shoulders are round, he can get through the coming wind, with little air resistance [laughs]. I like his sloping shoulders a lot recently.

Sho-kun's body is quite muscular, but I'm not so interested in that [laughs]. He builds muscles quite easily, it has been like that since long ago. But I have never seen Sho-kun train or exercise. I have never asked him about it either, but if he says he gets it naturally, that's impressive ne [laughs].

(Yeah, it seems that cute Ma-chan's much more interested in Sho's muscles than you are in them, Nino. XD LOL, Nino admires Sho's ability to gain muscles easily? Does he mean he wants to have a better built body like him? :X [Fufufufufufufu] LOL what is with the scientific explanation thingy?! Makes no sense at alllll XDDDD ♥)

I'm sorry I didn't post the Ohno's and Sho's one, haha. Rest of the interview tranlations of Jun's, Aiba's & Nino's hereeee.

I love reading translations of Arashi's interviews in magazines, how come they're always so interesting and lovable? DX

O.m.g. I so need to catch Waraeru Koi wa Shitakunai soon. The reason's simple.. because Massu from NEWS is acting in it and so is the guy acting as Takayama ZE POST-IT GUY!!!! in Ryusei no Kizuna. XD Srsly, even though his role is irritating in the drama, you have to admit it, a lot of humour in the drama are caused by him as well. XD Chou omoshiroi na, kono otoko! HAHA.
And Massu himself is like.. self-explanatory. He is so freaking cuteeeeeeeeeeee. :3
Weird thing is, the drama is only three episodes long. LOL. Hopefully it means I won't have to spend too much time watching it..? :D

Christine HAHA. YEAH. XD In a funny way.. XD Lol. Eh but News Zero still hasn't started! :( :( Stupid Japanese TV! :( You can watch AnS subbed videos anyway! ^ ^

Lol, I don't even think anybody listens to my music playlist.. O_o Oh well haha. Think I'll edit it soon. It's getting boring. o_o back to top?
