Jun and Nino on a shopping date, with lots of Arashi love involved. You and I both know that we do want it, so why bother waiting?
Matsumoto Jun X Ninomiya Kazunari
Vol.42 - 「Christmas’ Arashi」
Searching for Christmas presents, destination: select shop, let us GO! Take a look at the choices of our pride ♪

Nino: The point to consider while choosing presents for Jun kun is the material!
Jun: The deciding factor of this item I pick for Nino is the color!
The mission assigned by Aiba kun this time is:「Last year we exchanged Christmas presents and it was a lot of fun, so this year too, I’d want us to do that again」, and so the two of them went out on the town. Ninomiya kun quietly sneaked close and used Matsumoto kun’s back to measure a shirt, Matsumoto kun called out to Ninomiya kun 「Kazu! There’s this one!」 and made him try on a pair of shoes - the time they spent picking presents for each other was 100% made of fun, but then…… (laugh)!?
We have tried our best in selecting these gifts, I bet everyone’s gonna be happy (laugh)!
Jun: We had quite a nice shopping trip today!
Nino: I chose this white shirt for Jun kun. The charm lies in its material. (he looks really satisfied) Because high-quality cotton always suits you the best!
Jun: True, the feel of its texture is great. Recently I also happen to be quite into shirts so I’m really happy about it. My pick for Nino is this pair of pretty colorful shoes. If you wear it with your usual jeans and chino pants, it would look cute for sure.
Nino: Thanks. I don’t own any of these kinda shoes so I will use this chance to try something for a change.
Jun: And then, there’s this light color shirt for Shou kun.
Nino: Shou chan seems to wear check flannel shirts all the time, to the point that I don’t seem to have any memory of him wearing plain shirts.
Jun: Looks like this is gonna look way too refreshing on him.
Nino: Well, if you let him be he’d never pick something like this so let’s use this chance to give him one, so to speak. For Riidaa, this jacket is the kind that he is sure not to own, so I chose it.
Jun: Riidaa always goes for the casual wear so I think this one is also a safe choice for him, he can put it on anytime.
Nino: We hope that from now on he would gradually get to know the wonder of a jacket, right? And then for Aiba san, we have these socks (grin)!
Jun: (earnestly) After all, we chose this gift specially for him who was born on Christmas Eve, right? Among the great variety of stuffs present at the time, it was these socks that got us wonder 「What the heck could these “10th anniversary edition socks” be?」, and finally after a lot of struggle, we decided to pick them.
Nino: On the very day of Christmas, there might be a pleasant surprise for him when he sees that there is some present inside those socks. These are really useful tools that you need to have ready at hands!
(X Monster's comment: so basically the two of them are buying Aiba chan socks, in order to prepare him for when Santa Claus, whose existence I think we're all a tiny bit too old and a tiny bit lacking in wild imagination to believe in, arrives and gives him presents. Nice strategy, I think I'm gonna apply that to my friends this year)
Jun: I always look forward to that moment every year when we together send him our “happy birthday mail” at the same time, exactly at midnight when the date changes. By the way, Nino, among all the Christmas presents you’ve received, is there anything that left an impression?
Nino: The game I received when I was a kid, I guess. You know how before Christmas there are always lots of bargain goods on sales, right? I used to enjoy checking those out then asking for one of them as my present.
Jun: Come to think of it, I also remember receiving a first-generation Game Boy for Christmas. As for the presents I gave to others…… I always seem to end up buying aroma candles. They are perfect for present exchanges during parties and such.
Nino: Eh~ I never get invited to those events~. That must be something exclusive to Jun kun!
Jun: Well then, for this year, if you were to choose a present for a girl, what would it be?
Nino: I would give her a Santa costume ♪
(T/N: just to give your imaginative mind some aid:
and
and
)
Jun: (with a big nod) Ooh, you’re pretty excited about that!…… but that’s got me excited too (laugh).
Nino: We’d better start spreading words about how our Christmas would be complete if we get to see a girl wearing that costume.
Jun: Right, right. To all the ladies, in order for us to be able to give you our Santa costume present anytime anywhere, please remember to wear boots when you go out during Christmas (laugh)!
