Let us hear their 5-person-only secret talk♥
A secret talk, with just the 5 of Arashi! The recollections from 2011, and also mischeivous questions will be answered!
A radio programme with just the 5 of Arashi starts?!
With the setting of "what would happen if the 5 of you have a late-night radio programme?!" the talk starts with them answering postcards from the readers! Let's start from their private talk~
[A request postcard to Arashi.
2012 is the year where the Olympics will be held. If Arashi appears in a relay, in what order will you run in?
- 31 year old, female, Ibaraki Prefecture]
Aiba: Because this is radio, so I'll start to feel the need to play a BGM. What shall we play?
Nino: It should be A.RA.SHI. isn't it. Singing it 12 years ago, and it's just nice that we have gone another one full year.
Aiba: I see, then, while playing A.RA.SHI I'll read the postcards! This first question is, "If Arashi were to appear in a relay, what would be the arrangement?".
Sho: Aiba-san is probably the anchor? (ie the person reading all the things in the radio show)
Aiba: Is that okay? Thank you very much!
Nino: Then, Sho-san is the first. Because Sho-san is fast at running. (laugh)
Aiba: For Sho-san, when it involves penalty games he is very fast isn't he.
Nino: If the penalty game involves skydiving he would definitely be fast. (laugh)
Jun: He really hates it yea~ (laugh)
Aiba: Then, Sho-san is the first. We'll let you do the starting dash.
Nino: Then, Ohno-san, I'm very sorry about this but is it okay? To be the supervisor.
Ohno: Yea, it's okay. It's because I run slowly yea.
Jun: Is Leader's pace slow?
Ohno: Nino is around the same as me?
Nino: Maybe around the same~
Sho: Then the 3rd runner is Nino, and the 2nd runner is probably Matsujun? Matsujun is as fast as "hikari"(light) isn't he?
Jun: As fast as "au hikari"? (laugh)
Aiba: We are aiming for gold medal! Then shall we move on to the next postcard. It says "What time do you all sleep?"
[A request postcard to Arashi.
Everyone, what time do you sleep??
- 31 years old, Tokyo, Ohno Satoshi]
Jun: It depends on the day yea~ (laugh)
Nino: That's true. It depends on the day, but I think I usually sleep around 1am.
Aiba: For me it's usually around 3-4am.
Jun: I'm around that time.
Aiba: After coming home and doing some things, it will become 3-4am.
Sho: But when I was doing dramas, I would feel like sleeping around 2am.
Nino: Ohno-san is around what time?
Ohno: Around 3am probably.
Jun: Even though your work ends early, your sleeping time is that late as well?
Ohno: It's usually 2-3am yea.
Aiba: Eh?!?! Was this a question from Tokyo's Ohno Satoshi-san. (laugh)
Jun: Did you want to know what time we slept that much?
Ohno: Yea..... Simply put, I wonder why it was there~ (laugh)
[A request postcard to Arashi.
For New Year's Day, what does everyone do during that time?
- 28 years old, Tokyo, Aiba Masaki]
Aiba: Then the next one is, a question from Aiba Masaki-san to Arashi-san. How do you spend your New Year's Day? (laugh)
Nino: Is this a question from Aiba-san? (laugh)
Aiba: Even though I'm Arashi as well, but because Leader also asked a question too. (laugh)
Sho: During 2011's New Year I went for a trip with my family. 2012 will probably be around the same I think.
Jun: I watched Arashi ni Shiyagare with my family at my parent's house.
Sho: Did you all get excited?
Jun: The scene where I was wearing a wig with Aiba-kun and doing the "The first sunrise has come up, kanpa~i! (t/n: it's this scene. XD), while watching that we toasted and burst out laughing. (laugh)
Ohno: In my house, there is always a bingo tournament every year. Shiyagare was on, but we were too absorbed in bingo and didn't see it...
Aiba: For my case, when it's the New Year's, in our relative's house, many different Aiba families will gather.
Sho: "All Aiba" are gathering yea. (laugh)
Aiba: Different Aiba families yea. We also watched Shiyagare together, but when it was the "The first sunrise has come up, kanpa~i!" scene it was really embarrassing. When we were young and watching television at home, there would be some perverted scenes, and there would be an awkward kind of atmosphere right. It was that kind of feeling, the embarrassment. In 2012 as well with that embarrassing flavour I will return to my parent's house and watch Shiyagare... (laugh)
Nino: I watched Shiyagare too, but I was alone at home...
Aiba: Eh, really? Were you lonely just by yourself?
Nino: I wasn't lonely, I confidently watched it happily!
[A request postcard to Arashi
In 2012, is there anything that you would seem to be addicted to?
- 28 years old, Kanagawa Prefecture, female]
Aiba: And continuing is, a question asking us if "there is anything that we might be addicted to in 2012".
Jun: U~n. I'm co-starring with Oizumi Yo in the January drama series [Lucky Seven], so I might be addicted to Oizumi-san yea. (laugh) Oizumi-san is a gourmet, so I hope to be treated a lot.
Nino: Ohhh, it has appeared! An unexpected announcement to be treated. (laugh)
Ohno: For me it's probably making figurines~. Because recently I was drawing pictures, so this time maybe I will do figurines. I want to challenge making a kind of big one~
Aiba: If you make it show it to us.
Ohno: What should I do (laugh)
Aiba: Because I wasn't able to travel in my private time in 2011, it will be good if I can travel to many different places in 2012. Yakushima, the place I went to for work was a super good place, so I want to go again.
Sho: I want to do skiing as well. I want to go to Whistler in Canada.
Jun: What kind of place is it?
Sho: You go there by helicopter, and throughout the day the mountain is covered by new snow from the bottom of the mountain. It's really pretty~
Aiba: As expected of Sho-san, he's global! How about Nino?
Nino: Currently, I'm not really doing anything~
Ohno: As expected, games?
Nino: In the end, I'll probably be addicted to sleeping. I slept normally in 2011, but I want to try sleeping more in 2012.
Everyone: (laugh)
Arashi's late-night radio programme is still continuing~
After private talk, in a slightly(?!) serious manner, everyone will talk about the behind-the-scenes stories of their work.
[A request postcard to Arashi.
Please tell us an important news that happened in 2011!
- 30 years old, Chiba Prefecture, female]
Aiba: Then, the next question. What is an important news of 2011?
Jun: Eh?! Can we list as much as 10 pieces of news?
Aiba: No no, it's not to list "10 pieces" but it's to say the "important" news. (laugh) (t/n: Jun misunderstood the question here, so Aiba was confirming it for him.)
Jun: Ah~. But to narrow it down to one is also difficult (laugh).
Sho: Maybe it's the fact that we could do Waku Waku Gakkou. In Tokyo Dome where we did our concerts, doing an event there for the first time is quite an important news yea.
Nino: We had a country-wide tour as well.
Jun: We also had a training camp that was related to the tour.
Aiba: In the special athletic training, Sho-kun overcame his fear of heights, and he faced the flying at Kokuritsu didn't he.
Sho: That's true, it was easy.
Jun: Opposite to that, his hands were extremely extremely sweaty though (laugh)
Nino: If there were results from the training camp then it's good yo~
Ohno: Everyone remembered things that we did as 5.
Sho: Wasn't that a Leader-like comment!
Aiba: We were also given a lot of solo activities as well yea.
Jun: I was happy that we had a lot of new encounters, for both work and private time.
Sho: I was given the chance to do this in April, the MC for England's Prince William's Royal Wedding. I never expected to be the relay for the wedding, so I was really shocked.
Nino: For me, I finally went out for a meal with Leader.
Ohno: We went.
Nino: I don't remember when we went or what we ate.... so it might not even be something that was important.
Ohno: Ohhh, it's important isn't it!
Aiba: The fact that I suddenly became scared of jet coasters. Even though I have been riding them until now!
Nino: Were you really able to ride them?
Aiba: Maybe my intuition was wrong (laugh)
Ohno: For me, it's that I have come to understand the attractiveness of Akihabara.
Sho: Why Akihabara?!?!
Ohno: When I went there to find radio controlled models, I went there around once a week. There were many specialist shops there so it was interesting.
Aiba: There are also things like maid cafes. Leader, you went to them right?
Ohno: I didn't go. (laugh)
[A request postcard to Arashi.
Please tell us the phrase that is popular in Arashi for 2011~. Please also predict the popular words for 2012 as well!
- 27 year old, Tokyo, female.]
Aiba: What were the popular words in Arashi?
Sho: For around 2 years, I was supporting the phrase "Delicious↗" (umai~↗).
Aiba: (laugh)
Sho: It doesn't seem to be catching on at all.
Nino: Is it not catching on? The "umai~↗".
Aiba: I thought it did?
Jun: Because it's just a normal form of speech~. When you put down in words it's really normal. (laugh)
Aiba: That being said, it seems like it's not heard recently...
Sho: That's right. It's not really being echoed around the world so I have been restraining myself. I will be starting again after the New Year.
Nino: So that means, will you aim for the Popular Word Prize?
Sho: The aim to be nominated, as expected it should be after the new year.
Nino: Because it's a new year isn't it good to end it?
Jun: If you don't rest it for once, the freshness of the word will disappear yea.
Nino: So in 2012 "umai~↗" will be supported.
Aiba: Okay, so let's go on and use a lot of "umai~↗".
Sho: For supporting me, thank you!
Nino: (laugh). From now on as well, we will do our best as your back-up!
