愛を叫べ

Sho made a chu to the camera on his close-up ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و has hamster become more lenient about giving fansa lately? [x]

MC

The subject of what they do in the 4 hours prior to concert J → muscle training, bath, then make(up) room O→ sleep S: you guys saw the digitalian suppin, right? This person was always sleeping, right?! [x] ......

Ohno lost janken and had to MC all by himself while the others changes XD he talked about his birthday and gave a riddle, and after audience guessed his riddle O: so many know it! It's intermediate too...you weren't into Aiba-chan's elementary ones tho XD [the others were done changing and came out] A: heeey what do you mean "Aiba-chan's elementary ones"?? (；￣◇￣) Alright my turn! *takes over MC* [x][x] ........ Aiba’s riddle (sorry I didn’t get the full thing, but this part was funny) A: (riddle) the butterfly landed and threw up something, what is it? O: ?? *flap flap like a butterfly* BLEHHHH (throw-up gesture) [x]

A・RA・SHI

Japonism 11.26 excerpt reports of MC etc I posted on my twitter, just compiling them here (with slight changes) so I don’t lose them. I got to wear my Taboo costume finally to a con \^^/

MC

about Best Artist 2015 [x]

S: what were you guys doing for 4 hours while I was MC? A: Nothing, we were watching you only

Aiba “quiz” [x]

NinoAi were left on stage while the others go change, and Aiba decided to do a "Japanese" sound quiz on Gion; he was the one making the sounds, and Nino was laughing while kneeling and facepalming XD

And when Sho came out while Aiba is making a sound of "table tennis" S:...when did you make up all these quizzes? A: just last night :D

Ohno birthday [x] [x]

O: Aiba-chan was the first to send me mail S: what did it say? O: Otanjobi...ometetamaki-- S: Dame---! (ok stop there) ........

S: Then, next? O: Then when I was in the green room, Sho-kun was sitting in front of me, then I got a mail that "Otanjobi Omedetou" and it was from Sakurai Sho. Then when I looked up at him he went "pfft" (smirk) S: XD .........

Ohno said Nino gave the first present (air filter) at Best Artist. Nino mailed him making sure he's using it S: eh...but didn't I give you your present 2 months ago?? O: oh right! It was sho-chan first, I forgot *laughs*

End speeches (mainly Nino’s) [x]

N: There are many holidays throughout the year, but there's none in June → there are also no concerts in June, so I got no one to celebrate my birthday...but I'm sure you guys at home say "Nino-san, omedetou!" Fans: \\ Omedetou!! // N: I thought...even if it's just once, let's have a concert in June! worst case, I'll just have a one-man show XD ...

About “Rolling Days”

Sho: I’ve had a lot of solos where they’re clearly the types of songs I like to sing, but this time I thought, how about choosing a solo that would sound like something not chosen by me. That is, there’s something I’d like to do in the concert with it.

How do you think you’ll perform it?

Sho: I can’t really say right now (laughs), but you’ll understand if you come to the concert. What that means is, this is a song that will only be completed after everyone hears and watches it at the concert.

----

Ohno: I thought Sho-kun’s solo was quite unexpected. Just from the demo, I thought it’s a sound he’s never done before, and it’s exactly the type of song I’d be crazy over after completion. It’s my favorite [in the album].

Sho: I’m really glad, because even now I wouldn’t have imagine myself with this type of song (laughs), or rather, seeing myself performing it. But since sensei you said that the song turned out really good, I’m super grateful.
