OHNO SATOSHI
I HAVE MANY EXPERIENCES, ONE WHOLE YEAR BECOME KAIBUTSU KUN, I DID FISHING TOO, BUT FOR NEXT YEAR I WANT TO PAINT!
Q : What is your keyword for this whole year?
Ohno : Of course it will be ‘Kaibutsu kun’ I did filming during January and February, I appeared as Kaibutsu kun in 24 hours television, in the end of summer I did drama special for it. After that I promote the movie, I feel like doing Kaibutsu kun for whole year.
Q : You went to India for Kaibutsu kun filming right?
It was hard, but I like India, if I have one month off I would like to spend it there. I like to see the full moon from there, it was very big, or maybe it was just my feeling. No no it’s big for real. That was my first time to see the big moon; I feel it very close with Japan’s sky. The moon’s color was orange, for me who never seen it before, that was so beautiful.
Q : When you promote Kaibutsu kun, you went to many places.
I went to Nagoya and Oosaka with Ueshima san and Fujiko sensei. Fujiko sensei also went to mount Fuji
Q : In Himitsu no Arashi chan Sakurai and Aiba did travel only both of them, if Ohno san h as a chance to travel with one of the member, where will you go and with who?
With Matsujun, Okinawa, there’s no reason. If I imagine it I want to go (smile). I love Okinawa, I like summer the most but not the winter. If I can go I wonder what will I do,recently Matsujun said he went fishing and found it interesting. If we can go fishing together and catch the big one it will be so fun. Aiba chan also went fishing this summer, I wonder if he had good time (laugh). If I see it from my vision as Arashi’s fishing leader.
Q : January 3rd next year kotatsu de Arashi will be aired in Fujiterebi, do you think this is the review of Arashi’s Tv show for the last 10 years?
I have many things I didn’t remember at all, I think I don’t do review. Even I re watch it I still don’t remember, but I have deep memories for “Mago-mago no arashi” (2005-2007). We met grandfathers and grandmothers only for one day to help them doing their work, and during that one day they didn’t see us as unknown people. I will never forget that.
Q : After that you had concert in Oosaka and Nagoya.
I think until now there is Dome version, I couldn’t dance, I will never forget that time.
Q : When the big earthquake occurred in east Japan do you feel the power of music can help them?
We have Radio show for Toohoku chihou, and we receipted many post cards. I think there is a big influence of music. They write something like “If I listen to that song I got power”, or “All my stuffs carried out by the earthquake but I was really happy to find Arashi’s CD still save even only one CD”, and from that I think we can give certain power to them and I’m so happy for that.
Q : Your wishes for 2012?
Wishes….for me myself there are no specific wishes. I want to take it slow. I am not a person who work so hard (laugh)
Q : What kind of situation that you want to go through?
Even I want to go fishing, but I also want to paint, if I can finish it in one week it will very good. But now I have drama filming, even the air is so cold but I do it well!!
“THANK YOU” AND “SORRY” to the member
To Sho chan : Thanks for watching me when I appeared in news Zero. Unfortunately you didn’t at studio that time.
To Nino : Thanks for the birthday present, you gave me “fishing game”, I did it and I found it was interesting
To Aiba chan : Thanks for always buying me present when you go abroad, recently you gave T-shirt you bought in Taiwan, I wear it when I go to bed (laugh)
To Matsujun : Thank you for your butai, I attend it, you were so cool, you had trained a lot, your upper body shape look like upside down triangle.
SAKURAI SHO
WHEN I’M ALONE I CARRY THE COLOR OF ME AS A GROUP
Q: if you describe this year with one word?
“Can” and “Should”, this year was the year that we could pass everything, like handling the earthquake.
Q : Do you think the music had big influences for the earthquake victims? And what kind of song appeared in your mind?
What should I say? The power of song that can reach them, for me myself it was the lux thing. For the people who hear it, they will say “I get more power”, I’m so glad, from that statement I think the power of songs already reach them, that’s why I didn’t think too much about it.
Q : Did you mean the things they can do in daily live?
Yes, the things they always do every day with all their might.
Q : You get second chance to host Kouhaku Uta Gakusen, what kind of memory remain to you from last year kouhaku?
I remember that Ohno san eat tofu a lot in the green room. I think because he wanted to reduce his weight.
Q : Is there any secret formula for the competition this year kouhaku?
Secret formula (laugh), there’s no such thing, as the white team we feel so glad. I think it just for the color we carry, because the other singers will compete for our color, as our own group we have our different color.
Q : Do you feel different when you compete by yourself? Do you feel strong when you with the other member?
I don’t think I feel weak when I’m alone (laugh), even so, when I’m alone I have my own color , and when I’m in the group I have my own portion there, that makes difference.
Q : What kind of place that remind in your mind for this year?
Of course the earthquake region, I went there at April for Newz Zero, and I went there again in the middle of the year. I went to the same place, I saw the area has been cleaned, slowly but I can feel it returns to the condition before earthquake.
Q : The album released this year was Beautiful World, what kind of beauty that you can see in the other members?
I think it would be Matsujun, during his butai “Ah Wild Field”, we can only see the other member appearance from attendant’s seat in Butai. There’s no other chance seeing him lighted by Spot light. I was so proud. His upper body muscles, I know how long he has been trained for it, I think it was very tiring because I saw it closely, and I also very proud of him when all the attendants clap their hand during curtain call.
Q : What is beautiful scene according to you?
I went to Russia for private on May. I went to Moskow and Santpetersburk, Santpetersburk was so beautiful. The town with world treasure, I also went to Elmitadu museum, next time I want to go to Moroko, Kamboja, or Kuba. For Europe I think I will go there after I get old with my wife, I will search the place that young man should go now.
Q : What kind of things you wish for next year?
For 2012, I think I’ll participate for Olympic Games (laugh), sorry, sorry I’ll answer it properly (laugh)
What it will be? Maybe the smiling faces from everyone. For Arashi and all the people who can make us smile. I hope we can make many people smile in a second. For me myself I hope I can join my family trip.
Thank you and Sorry to the other members
To Ohno san : even I didn’t understand why you sent Maruyama Ryuhei’s (Kanjani8) picture to me but I think I have to thank you for letting me know about him since I didn’t know well about Maruyama (laugh)
To Aiba kun : Thanks for guiding me to Chiba during HNA filming “Ore no Chiba” , It was fun
To Nino : Thanks for sending your picture when you became Mario for your CM, because the day before we just talked about it, “If you become Mario please send your picture”.
To Matsujun : It must be the concert, thanks for the great composition.
