A celebratory toast for our precious brat
A certain prestigious movie review writer may say that he's a brilliant actors who acts with his eyes and mouth, commenting his acts on an epic war movie
A fellow co-actor may say that he's a genius one, wondering how he can manage to act flawlessly when he always play game on set, right before the actual take..
Another co-actor may complain on how he stumbles over reading difficult kanji of old-terms during script-reading session before the filming takes,,
A junior co-actor may get surprised on how he treated everyone on set an expensive lunch as a punishment when he stumbled on his long lines three times in a row , despite being well-known on his stingy behavior..
A director may underestimate him at first, thinking that he's just another idol who acts, but somehow praising him as an actor who sings and dance when filming ends
Every times he acts, he may get praises and complains,
In every projects that he takes, people starts expects more and more of him, on which he may or may not fulfill, but nevertheless responds it by giving his best.
He has long grown up from being rejected on filming auditions, to get special phone calls from senior directors and writers, offering him a leading role that's purposely for him.
And then,
on that special night,
beyond his expectation,
he won.
[5x15] Arashi in Unity
As we know, Japanese people are famous for being generous and genius, but the things that I adore the most from them are their loyalty and persistence.
Only in Japan, you can find a long-lasting groups (be it comedians, boybands, girlbands, or any bands in general, etc) in entertainment that is still solid and active for more than 10, 20, or even 30 years (the alfee, anyone?).
Over the years, any groups activities will follow the same pattern.. A solid and united group on their early years, then 'individual' activities temptation comes along, a member (or two) becomes more popular than others, some remember to go back and help boosting their group activities, while some don't, leaving the group abandon to their disband.
It is not uncommon for any groups to be a solid item (basically buy one get all members package thing) for their first five years, but its extremely rare to find one in their fifteen. And you don't know how glad and proud I am that Arashi is one of them.
Arashi, as a group, has grown far beyond its individual member's name, a concrete result of how each and every member of Arashi's hard work contribute equally to their group success, so much that the terms 5-people (go-nin) in the mind of Japanese people will eventually lead you to Arashi.
Sure, at some point of time during their 15 years of journey, there were times when they got tired of the idol jobs, when the jobs became too dangerous for their health (aiba's lung problem, sho's & height), or when the hobbies coughfishingcough became too tempting they wanted to leave the job, but again, their loyalty and persistence and their gay love for each other bring them back home.
Let me quote one interview from the sneaky brat to prove this
"Same goes for Arashi. Not that I think there would be a drop in quality if I were to be absent or anything (laugh). If this was a few years ago, maybe it would be possible to have a "4-member Arashi" for a limited period of time, but I don't think people will see us as Arashi unless all five of us are together now. So... I'll be right here." (More magazine, translated by acidae)

10 Epic Moments of Shukudai-Kun 6 - When You're Broke~
Just wanna say I like how calm you are in answering the anon. if I were you I would've just snapped and scolded the anon.
lmao thank you.
I went through a phase when I disliked Nino too, so I understand that anon in a way.
You know, there's a saying that defensive acts can be offensive too. Getting angry at rude anons may could flush our anger away, but on the other hand can make him/her being more rude in the future.
Actually I received that question earlier, but I'd prefer to answer it when my mood is calm enough. I just simply want the anon not to dislike Nino any further.
What makes you like Nino? I'm sorry but I found him really annoying, and I guess arashi would be much better without him
What makes me like Nino? Do you mean the reason why I like him?
To be honest, I don't know. I like him because I like him. It's the same with how I like a chocolate ice cream more than any ice creams, or how I like brown more than any colors. I really have no reasons to like him, and I don't think you should understand why I like him either.
And with me liking him, it doesn't mean you or anyone should like him too. Though, I'd be really appreciate it if you can respect my decision to like him.
Even as his fan, I found him really annoying, so I understand if you dislike him in a way. In fact, you can ask any Nino's fan, and I bet most of them found him annoying too, albeit in an endearing way.
But to say that Arashi would be much better without him is pretty harsh, and I have to disagree with you. Arashi is five people, each and every member has an important role within the group.
If I were to imagine Arashi without Nino, they would become a boring clean-cut group who would just do everything the producers or the hosts in variety shows told them to do.
You can try watching old clips when Nino didn't dare to talk back yet, and you can feel how awkward and painful it is to see them getting scolded and accepted the insult from the hosts just the way it was.
I remembered I've watched a music show clip when Ohno got insulted for saying that he didn't think anything when he was dancing, and openly stated that he was normally spacing out. The hosts picked him out, then Ohno apologized and bowed down, and the talks ended boringly at that.
I may sound biased and exaggerate it a bit, but it's interesting to watch Arashi when they talk now, because there's Nino who's ready to give a snarky remarks, picking up any of his members' mistakes loudly before anyone/the hosts did, so that they can always talk back and voice out their reasons without being afraid to sound impolite.
Of course seeing this from an outsider's view Nino may sound like an annoying brats, but actually he just plays a role to be a dislikeable character in Arashi, to make the group more likeable as a whole.
And there's always a reason why, despites all of his annoying acts, people still like hanging around him.

Hello!
I'm sorry for the lack of updates.. I was supposed to post something regularly but currently I'm out of town for work, and it's really hard to find a good wi-fi connection here. Anyway, I made a new Livejournal account special for arashi posts, please feel free to add me, because I may post there more often as livejournal is more slow-connection friendly than tumblr.
Ah right, to make it more organized, here are the things that I've posted so far.
Guide links for new arashi fans
Observation series: Arashi's goals, Aiba
Stories: Birthday (part1, part 2), Sleepover
Pairing analysis: Matsumiya,
Other rants
The list up there also becomes my project list at the moment, I still need to finish the observation series for the rest members, and also may be another pairing analysis too.
As you may know I'm a hardcore Nino hater fan, so I do reblog things about him a lot, but when it comes to writing, I'm pretty much more reserved, as I'm trying my best not to be subjectively biased. Well, I will try to write more about him eventually, but I leave it for later, after I feel like I know enough about Arashi as a team first. .
