[translation] WITH 09.09 Ninomiya Kazunari

[plueonigiri]

For angy85 :)
I love this article because I am yet again convinced that he is very different from any other idol out there, just by reading his words. The prettiness of the photoshoot does not hurt too XD

For this translation, the words in red are by the interviewer/magazine, and the words in black are spoken by Nino. I've tried using his colour and it

"I think the fact that this group called Arashi has stayed unchanged for all this time is because we don’t compare with anyone. We have never been subservient towards great people that we see, and on the other hand, we haven’t been swept away in that direction as well. Even as an individual, I think, isn’t it the best to just walk the path that you believe in?"

>.<
this goes deep into my heart.
thank you so much for this~!!!!! <333

I was going all "Awwwwwww" while translating!!!

[rui_matsuri]

Thank you for translating all of these Nino articles!

I very much agree with you that Nino is quite the unique idol. He has a certain way with words that really conveys what he believes in his interviews but in a simple and calm way that isn't pushy or too cocky. Like saying "This kind of living is okay too, right?"

I always feel very relaxed and inspired when reading his interviews, and I think that's one of his biggest charms.

Thank you again ♥

I love reading his interviews because I always see a new side of him, and whatever he says is really out of the box.

Man, you're spoiling us! So much Nino..... <3 *skips around in circles* And ack, those pictures are dangerous. Haha.

I like what he says in this, and it's relieving to know that he's happy with his work right now, he's doing what he wants, and so is the rest of Arashi. "I think the fact that this group called Arashi has stayed unchanged for all this time is because we don’t compare with anyone." <--- I think so too. They've created their own images, don't worry about what others might think, and we all love them because of it! :D

And -- "At the workplace, the important thing is to accept the other person’s feelings right. What that person wants to do. What they want me to do. Ah, I guess it’s the same in matters of love as well… But because Arashi is made up of this kind of relationship, I think “Enough about love for now.” That’s no good huh (laugh)"

Totally declaring his love for Arashi. XD

Thanks!!

[plueonigiri]

Spoiling is caring XD

Group love!!! <3

[plueonigiri]

my admiration level for nino had just went up. he had his own bratty and serious side of him which is amazingly balanced. i love this quote from him, "It’s not the form, but saying thank you from the heart that is important". this show he is not pretentious at all.
to plueonigiri, thank you for sharing this side of nino with us!!

[plueonigiri]

And yes, this is one of the many reasons why I love him. He is not just an idol, who only cares about benefits. I like the fact that he appreciates the word "Thank you," because I think that's the most important in human relationships.
