Having translated 2 recent articles from this 2/Arashi series, I guess I might as well officially follow this on a regular basis :D
or maybe I just want to show off my new Arashi icons, kindheartedly donated by
katokathy ♥♥♥ Ufufufufu... I still have 4 more to show!
Throwing Jun and Riida into a talk and you get an intense attack of adorableness as a result. One question though: why the heck is it that even their sleeping clothes cost THAT much money?

Matsumoto Jun X Ohno Satoshi
Vol.30 - 「Sleeping Arashi」
We paid a sudden call on the 2 who were in the middle of their hotel stay ♥ What were the “sleep habits” that they revealed to us in their fully relax mode?
The request this time was from Sakurai kun, who recently started to use the aroma function of the humidifier when he sleeps: 「I’d love to know if the 2 of you have any fixation regarding your sleeping habits!」. With that, let’s sneak into the hotel room where Matsumoto kun X Ohno kun are spending their night together! Before, we’ve all heard Ohno kun mention his pride of being able to 「sleep any time, any where, as long as I want!」, but the truth is?
Everyone in Arashi loves to sleep ♪ We are confident about the quality of our sleep!
Jun: Riida, you really can sleep that well?
Ohno: (with a big nod) You see, I really love sleeping. At the end of a day, the moment when I can think “the only thing left to do is sleeping” is made of pure happiness ♪
Jun: Aa~, I understand that feeling!
Ohno: When I was in my teens I used to sleep for more than 20 hours a day. Even now, when I wake up once and think that I want to sleep some more, I can fall asleep right away.
Jun: It feels good to fall asleep twice like that, especially in the cold season. At that time, dozing off inside the warm futon is the best! But Riida, don’t you have to wake up early a lot to go fishing?
(T/N: this is a futon:
but I bet you are all familiar with this)
Ohno: It’s no problem. I can wake up easily in the morning. I think I can handle both sleeping and waking up well enough.
Jun: I can fall asleep easily too…… But I’m seriously bad at waking up (bitter laugh). There are times when I don’t even hear the sound of my alarm going off!
Ohno: Regarding the other members of our group, everyone is perfectly at ease with falling asleep, right?
Jun: Since there are a lot of times when we have to sleep during traveling, I figure everyone is already well-trained when it comes to falling asleep. I have this image of Aiba chan being really annoying when he sleeps, because he would go “suu suu” with his breaths (laugh). But I guess that means he’s in a really deep sleep.
Ohno: I remember that Nino would snore from time to time. As for Shou kun, sometimes he would talk in his sleep. During this one tour, when we just started, Aiba chan got excited and was being all noisy, then all of a sudden, Shou kun shouted 「Make Aiba go to sleep!」. That really surprised me, but when I turned around, I saw that he was talking in his sleep~.
Jun: Eh, that is absolutely a lie (laugh)!
Ohno: (at once) It’s the truth (laugh)!
Jun: Recently we haven’t had the chance to share the same hotel room, but during our latest tour, there was one night when the 5 of us gathered in Riida’s room, right?
Ohno: Wasn’t that when we came to Fukuoka? We ate salad and cheese while drinking sake.
Jun: Even though everyone was supposed to be sleepy, we kept talking and talking. In the end, when we finished all the foods and drinks and returned to our rooms, it was 4 in the morning. Riida, during the tour, how do you spend time in your room before going to sleep?
Ohno: Listening to some music, I guess.
Jun: Oh, I bet you’d play Arashi’s songs?
Ohno: I plan to listen to Arashi every time but…… Western music comes up more (laugh). Falling asleep while listening to those songs has become my habit.
Jun: Please set the timer~.
Ohno: I don’t know how to do that…… (sigh).
Jun: It’s really simple (laugh)! As for me, before going to sleep, I would relax in some fragrance or aroma. The clothes I wear to sleep are all ordinary pajamas. All in all, extremely normal.
Ohno: Lately, I’ve been wearing hanten when I go to sleep. Other than that, I have no fixation whatsoever regarding my sleeping environment. I’m even able to sleep well on a sofa, sometimes better than when I lie on a bed. In the past, I had the experience of falling asleep as soon as I lied down in the middle of Tokyo Dome for a photo shoot (laugh).
(T/N: this is a hanten:
)
Jun: Both of us have nothing to do with the trouble of insomnia, I see. In the future, if people want us to sample something, I’d like them to give us some top quality mattress. Normally we are already able to sleep soundly all the time, what would happen if we are to use those mattresses? Doesn’t that make you really curious (laugh)!?
As usual, some extra information regarding their outfits:
Jun: Shirt ¥16800 ・ Inner shirt ¥7140 ・ Sweatpants ¥19950/Hollywood Ranch Market → ¥43890 → $480
Riida: Pajama top ¥9975・Pants ¥9345/Kid Blue → ¥19320 → $210
