Introduction to Ohmiya SK

What is Ohmiya SK?
      Ohmiya SK stands for Ohno Satoshi and Ninomiya Kazunari. Complete with costumes, a theme song (with a dance, too) and a trademark pose, this comedy duo performs short skits and spoofs during Arashi concerts.

Far, unstable but full-length Ohmiya SK performance
      - Here you will notice that they actually do a live comedy skit with the other members as extra. Too bad only those who can understand Japanese and their humor can uhh, indulge in Ohmiya pleasure.

How was Ohmiya SK formed? Read the article
      It’s really interesting to know that Ohno and Nino decided to continue Ohmiya SK because their costume was expensive (HUH). Ohno mentioned in an interview that JE executives had a negative response with regard to Ohmiya SK. Little do they know then that fans would absolutely adore their Ohmiya SK performances. In recent interviews about Arashi’s current Asia Tour, members noticed that fans usually did the loudest fangirl noise they can come up with once the Ohmiya SK segment starts. Aiba suggested that the other members join the comedy duo in which Sho immediately disagreed. XD

The Red: Ohno Satoshi



Ohno Satoshi became the leader of Arashi neither because he was the oldest member nor because he has the most beautiful voice among the members. It was because he won a game of JanKenPon! Though technically if the more professional principle of “majority wins” is applied, Ohno would have been the leader nonetheless. Notice how Nino already calls him with an endearing Ohchan at such an early time as their debut. Anyway, being the leader of Arashi doesn’t really make him much of an authority because he still gets to be picked on a lot of times, which makes him more adorable because he never fights back. Instead, he apologizes readily or shows an expression of defeat--an irresistible bait for both the Arashi boys and fangirls alike. He seems shy and quiet or absent-minded most of the time but there are also a couple of random moments where he acts totally genki, sometimes crazy, every bit childish but oh so cute. These characteristics doesn't make him any less of a leader. He's more of the reliable type than that of the command and excecutive. Anyway, though Ohno may be the oldest member, he definitely has such a babyface. He doesn’t even look 26 right now. With such puppy eyes and a deadly pout, Ohchan is definitely everyone’s uke! XD

Ohno Satoshi is an all around artist-he is excellent in both visual and of course, performing arts. Among his hobbies are drawing, painting and molding clay. He choreographs his own solos and some of the junior’s dances. He prefers to act on a theater stage than in front of a camera, making him gain the most number of theater plays among the other boys. I personally regard him as the best singer and dancer of Arashi but don’t take my word for it, go see it yourself then decide. :>

Random facts:
      - He is far-sighted and he wears glasses when reading and drawing.
      - He has a hard time reading Kanji. :<
      - He has sixth sense. For real. :O
      - He loves to eat. Other members say that he has weird taste buds and an iron stomach. XD;
      - He also likes to drink! He's the one who usually drinks Sake with grampas in Magomago Arashi.
      - He is really close to his mom. He is said to be a mama’s boy. His mom even buys him his clothes. XD
      - He said that he does web designs--then of what, Ohchan!? XO

The Blue: Ninomiya Kazunari



Ninomiya Kazunari will be seen as the second lead actor in a Clint Eastwood film (Letters to Iwo Jima) late this year. He is such an exceptional actor that he was already taking major movie roles (e.g., Amagi Goe) since he was 14. As an Arashi member, Nino is the most musically inclined. He is excellent with both guitars and piano (when I say excellent, I really mean excellent--I will upload Nino solos in the future for reference), and he also plays bass, drums and harmonica among others. He has a voice that can hit any high note and many fans regard him as the second best singer of Arashi. Of course, he is good with dancing. Another amazing talent that he has lies in his knowledge of the culinary arts. Yes, you heard me right, Nino-chan cooks! Yet do not fear the perfection for he is not. This boy is opinionated and tends to be a bit insensitive and tactless, if not boring, at times. It’s evident in magazine interviews, talk shows and his radio show. He’s a prankster and his Ni No Arashi, the show segment where he plays a prank on the other members, totally wins so much. Contrary to his seemingly sneaky and mischievous nature, Nino writes and composes really sad and somewhat depressing solo songs (e.g., Yume, Konseki/Kako). It matched his emo hair so much.

There is nothing that Nino loves more than his Ohchan gameboy and video games. He admits that he’d rather stay home than spend leisure time outdoors.

Random facts:
      - He is hunchback. :O
      - He blogs. A lot.
      - His mastery in musical instruments is self-taught.
      - He is stingy. He avoids giving treats to kohai’s and even makes some kohai’s treat him instead! XD;
      - He gets easily seasick.
      - He is not a good drinker. XD;
      - A Nino quotable quote: “There isn't an end to something you truly love.”

Ohmiya SK Moments

Magazine Interviews (translated by junko_arasick)

Ohno: When I was in middleschool... I didn't shower for 5 days straight...
Ninomiya: Me, 3 days! *smiling*
Ohno: I didn't want my hair to be wet, so I thought it will be puffy if I didn't shower, but instead, it became really stiff and hard.
Ninomiya: I didn't even take off my school uniform for 3 days straight... I didn't shower and I slept in uniform... Woke up, went to school with it...
Sakurai: I didn't know I was in such a group...

A proof that Ohchan and Nino will never have a problem in getting along well. XD

Aiba: The film shoot takes place with the five of us, so we're always seeing each other, but somehow we never get bored around each other. we always have something stupid to talk about... So no one shuts up *lol*
Sakurai: We never get bored of talking
Matsumoto: People around us think it’s weird though *lol*
Ninomiya: Except him *points at ohno* Sometimes doesn't say a WORD!
Ohno: Eh?! But I’m always listening.
Ninomiya: are you sure?! But sometimes you really don't talk at all! *lol*

Nino really just can’t help but notice Ohchan, ne?

Ohno: I thought you weren't going to come back *sob* You were there for so long!
Ninomiya: Yeah, one and a half month.
Ohno: If I were you, I can't stand it!

This pair is just too beautiful for words.

Ohno: Oh yeah, do you remember I talked with you on the phone the day before you come back!
Ninomiya: Yeah, our managers were talking to each other, and he told me leader was beside, so I asked both of us to be on the line.
Ohno: I said to you "hurry up and come back!" and then you said "I am, I’m going back tomorrow!" *lol*

They act so much like a couple! X3 Ohmiya is pure fluff and sugar!

Ohno: Yeah, it was for the recording of the album song. OH YEAH, that reminded me, I text msg-ed you on the day you left.
Ninomiya: Ehhh, no you didn't! I didn't receive one from you!
Ohno: I was thinking you might be gone already, but I typed "take care and be safe!" and sent it. It's still in my phone memory *lol* but you didn't write back, so I figured you were gone already.
Ninomiya: I'll check my phone, but I would have wrote you back if I recived the mail, so you probably didn't send me one...
Ohno: It didn't reach you...... *sobs* But I did send you one... I wonder why it didn't reach you... Wrong address?
Ninomiya: I’m just happy to know that you even made an effort to send me that kind of mail! But I did want to know that you sent me one while I was actually there *lol*

Ah, the trouble with technology... Good thing Nino was able to know that Ohchan did send a message since it seemed that Nino was really expecting. Else, Nino would go emo again and write emo songs and perform it at their next concert.

Pictorials





















Shows and Concerts

Ohmiya SK Rabu. This fanvid wins. It pretty much shows almost all the Ohmiya proofs a neophyte fangirl needs.

Ohmiya Kisu! As sweet as Ohmiya can get!

Ohchan and Nino in bed together. See the shy guilty and apologetic manner as Ohchan moved quickly away from Nino as he realized that there was a camera. See the lost confused and somewhat annoyed way that Nino reacted as he saw the camera.

Ohno's Heartbreak from an episode of Mago Mago Arashi. Subbed in English so go watch it! It’s too adorable! Nino’s laughs and Ohchan’s expressions are priceless.

Nino gropes Ohchan's butt! :D ‘Nuff said.

Arashi no Waza Ari pt1. Nino snuggles his head on Ohchan’s shoulder on the earlier part.
Arashi no Waza Ari pt2. Bonus Matsutoshi LOL. Nino gropes Ohchan’s butt at the ending part. (Probably jealous of the earlier Matsutoshi moment :<)

Choosing a leader. As early as then, Ohno is already Ohchan for Nino.

Ohchan is sleepy. And Nino is confused whether he should keep him awake or let him sleep. Aww~ He pretended to be annoyed but just laughed it off in the end. He probably found it too adorable to bear. (Ohchan’s slender hands GAH!)

Kitto Daijoubu perf in MS with Ohmiya SK pose in the end XD Not much Ohmiya but do watch it because Kitto Daijoubu is just pure love as well.

Fanart Sites
      - These are links to some Japanese fanart sites that I’ve visited. The main reason I’m sharing the links is for you to see their cute and beautiful artworks but not to use them. Please, I repeat, please do not use the artworks in public. Japanese web artists prohibit the use their artworks. If you want to use them badly, I suggest that you contact the artists in any way possible. Stealing is a no-no.
