Masaki x Sho

When picking clothes Aiba tried on a strange vest, Sho that was watching him said: "Aiba-kun looks awesome with it!" Later, when Aiba found clothes that he really liked, Sho said: "These are Aiba's type!"

Hmm, I don’t have any acquaintances who are born in the year of the Tiger… Although I like Tigers… Each time Aiba-kun goes to different locales to film Shimura Doubutsuen, he’ll buy T-shirts with tiger prints on them for me. So I now have 3 to 4 shirts with tiger prints on them at home. I wonder why he keeps buying tiger prints… (laughs)

(chats with Aiba who is next to him.)

(Aiba: I mean, a Tiger T-shirt is the greatest proof that you’ve been to a zoo, isn’t it? Amongst all the animals!)

I do wear it, but I’ve been told that the color has run quite a bit! (laughs) Henceforth, I don’t really have the courage to wear it. 

Sho : I've went too.

Aiba & Sho: YEA! (high fives)

Aiba : Vatican duo.

Sho  : Don't say Vatican duo.

Nino : Oh... by chance are you guys dating?

Sho : ...to be honest...

Aiba : We are dating!!!

From the start, Aiba-chan is like “the sun”. I think his presence brightens up variety shows and makes them fun. But, the truth is, in the past, there have been times, when he burns too strongly that he outshines everyone else while shooting something. Until now, I still retain that memory of him!

Even in janken, there's skinship!

Sho: "Tsubame no Iru Eki". I really love that play. It was really good. I was really touched by it. It was the character he played, but it was also him coming alive in that play, I was really touched by that Aiba-kun. That was a really good play. I like that the best.

Aiba: The fashion that I like is similar to Sho-kun's. Like, we've coincidentally bought the same shoes of different colors and we've even bumped into each other in the same shop. When the two of us go shopping together, we look for things that look good on each other, and when we can't make up our mind, we think together "Which one is better?" In other words, it's like a couple having a fashion shopping date! (laughter)

I can't think of any crisis, but a while ago, after Higashiyama-sempai worked with Aiba, he worked with me. Higashiyama-sempai told me that after he said 'thank you for treating me well' to Aiba, Aiba replied 'Please take care of Sakurai too'. I'm grateful.

...

As I was finishing up with dinner, my mobile phone went off. It was a message from Aiba-kun. "I watched the drama... I tried solving the mystery but I totally didn't understand it! As expected of Kageyama-san."

(ﾟ  □ﾟ ;) Erm... (ﾟ  □ﾟ ;) You've got to be kidding. It was pretty shocking.  But I was overwhelmed with happiness that he watched it and even sent me an email. ※

The next day I confirmed with Aiba-kun.

Sho: Sichuan pickles. When I go to Aiba-chan's family restaurant, they always give me a lot. (laugh)

Sho: Matsujun knows a lot of restaurants. I always go to the same favorite restaurants... and 70% of those are the same as Aiba-chan's favorites. lol.

Aiba: Yesterday, I sent a text message to Sho-chan “Call me whenever you have time.” Then he called me within one minute (laugh). I was surprised with the timing and I wonder if he knew I will send him the text. That about him makes me wonder.

Aiba: About 6-7 years ago? When I was 20 or 21. 

Nino: Now you look fashionable. 

Sho: That was my suggestion. I said, why don’t you think about getting your ear pierced? 

Nino: And he really pierced it? 

Sho: Yup yup yup. I said, "I think that look suits you.” 

Aiba: Fufufu.

Sho: I wonder if the younger fans would take this seriously [and do it] if I actually said this to them… 

Aiba: Listen, all you good kids out there, what Sho-chan said here was a joke, alright? (laughs)

Hello

It's me.

  This is what happened on the day the 5 of us had our press conference, when the 5 of us were in the car, moving around the airport.

Aiba-kun was gazing out of the window and suddenly he became very excited.

  Aiba: "Wahhhh!! Suge-! This is the first time I am seeing it. Isn't that the Sky Tree?! It's just as I expected, huge!!! "

Nino: "No, that is the airport's control tower. "

  What an amazing person.

Aiba-kun. 

  Even without being fully confident of what he saw, he got 120% excited over.

....seeing the airport control tower. 

Once his tension is fired up, he just can’t seem to contain his excitement.

  Aiba: "No!! For me that is the Sky Tree!! It's really so tall! It's amazing!!"

 .... and saying that, he got himself even more excited.

To sum it up in one word, Aiba-kun is my video rental store lol. I'm just joking, but he often lends me DVDs. Plus there is no late fee lol. I have one right now that I've been borrowing for over two weeks. The borrowing began when I lent him a recording of the Himitsu no Arashi-chan haunted house episode. Then the next day he brought me two DVDs, saying they were ones he recommended.

With Aiba-kun, we go to each other's birthday parties too, and when he came to mine he brought me this big bouquet - he's very loyal, right? I've promised to lend him Ryuusei no Kizuna next. If one of us records it, the other doesn't have to miss it.
