To the most beautiful mind behind Arashi’s concerts

Let’s take a peek at how Matsumoto-san, who was acting as a host and serving food to the other four. First, vegetables were served in small plates, croutons put on top, dressing applied… Matsumoto-san was serving very properly.

However, without waiting further, the gluttons had started tasting! That’s right, Sakurai-san and Aiba-san, removing the lid for the main dish, bouillabaisse, were very happy. Comments like ”What’s this?! So cool!” were raised.

”Delicious!” Sakurai-san had started eating, prompting everyone to eat with their own way (laughs). Aiba-san was serving himself straight from the pot in a splendidly manly manner. Then, at the side were two people who weren’t helping one bit! Ohno-san and Ninomiya-san. The two of them were dancing around, waiting excitedly to be served by Matsumoto-san (laughs). They seemed to be in charge of livening up the atmosphere…

Then, for those hungry chicks, Matsumoto-san diligently poured juice. Unexpectedly, Sakurai-san called Matsumoto-san “Jun-san”!

“It’s the juice Jun-san poured!” Then, moving to Aiba-san, Ninomiya-san followed with, “I also want Jun-san’s juice!” and Ohno-san said, “Give me Jun-san juice.” It seemed everyone liked the nickname Jun-san, it became popular!!

Towards the four people who had gulped down and returned the glasses, “Jun-san” too, was smiling complacently, with kindness like a mother’s, he had taken care of everyone’s meal.

└ Spoiler warning for tonight’s concert (and my last for this trip).

A totally happy sakumoto shipper as…

Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi. Here’s today’s thought of the day; come on! “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” [BGM ‘Ai wo Sakebe’] That was a little subdued, huh? This is an English proverb that means in a time of need, you see who your real friends are. This was sent in by listener Milk-Tea-san of Saitama. The message reads: “Ohno-kun, good morning. This year, Arashi’s Arena Tour is longer than usual so you’re together for longer as well. So the relationship between the members would be deeper than your average year as well, right? I bet the members have a presence that surpasses friendship so I figured that ties in well to this proverb, which is why I sent this mail in.” Oh. Thank you very much, really. But like, this year, as Arashi, we’ve kinda… I mean, of course there’s been a substantial amount of individual work as well, but somehow or another, our work as Arashi… right? The five of us have been together quite a bit. And we were given the opportunity to do the Arena Tour again after 9 years. So like, at fixed intervals, it’s always, like, what… throughout this year, it’s really felt like we’ve been constantly doing concerts. And then like, I’ve mentioned it a few times but we’ve often had desserts. This has been a thing since the Arena Tour this year. Like Aiba-chan and me, we eat desserts before the actual performances. Generally chocolate cake tends to be the most common. We’d eat that and be like, “How delicious~♪” Kinda raising our feminine powers before the actual performance. At first, what was it? Ah, at first, we started off in Fukui so basically, it probably began with the catering. They probably had dessert prepared as well. So like, it was like, it really looked good so we decided to eat it. So it started from there. And then no matter where we went, there was always dessert prepared for us. So like, at first they prepared it inside our dressing rooms. It was like, sorry for the trouble! Then it continued on to the Dome Tour. The Dome Tour began at Sapporo, so they even had the desserts prepared in our dressing rooms and kept inside a glass case. “Uwaa, we’ve gotta eat this!” So like, the five of us ate it. And then we were all like, “How delicious!” and the five of us ate it. The very first ones to start it all was me and Aiba-chan, but along the way, it happened that Sho-kun… Sho-kun started eating first. Not only that, but he ate about two of them. “I’ve had too much～♡” he said. (laughs) So that’s how our year has been, for Arashi this year. Mm. But well, really, it’s been a pretty substantial year, hasn’t it? Mm. But well, really, today with the Dome Tour as well, that ends this year’s portion of it. Mm. And then after that, there’s the Kouhaku Utagassen. It’s all from then on! Aiba-chan’s duty, so to speak. (laughs) Well, we’ll be appearing as well, so all of us, the five of us will combine our powers to get through it. But well! Of course, there’s still that nervousness, but I think it’ll be like the last festival of the year and we’ll all get through it! That’s all; this was Ohno Satoshi! —–

NEW KIRIN CM.

Because pictures don’t do the faces and feels justice.

Well, I got this hate mail from someone who made an account and deleted it before I even reply… Well, whoever you are, why are you wasting your time sending me hate mails whenever you read my comments on confessions?

This is your first warning, charot?

anyway, first of all… i want to ask you, the person who sent this message to chesutoberry… if you don’t care, then why did you care enough to send this message? i mean… if you really didn’t care, you wouldn’t have said anything. like… most of us did. right?

second, don’t get mad okay, but please don’t make others involved so easily with your message, and i really mean by this that not everyone is of course thinking the same way as i am. but.. i mean i wasn’t offended by anything she has said before. at least what i remember. and what i’ve understood… her otp is sakuraiba and not sakumoto… and i’m pretty sure most of us know that not everyone likes sakumoto or that it’s not everyones otp. it’s not mine. anyway that’s just what i think.

third, “the society we live in is not a forgiving one” … but we are always been able to say sorry and been able to forgive. i know there are things that aren’t so easily been forgiven but she didn’t murder someone did she? i mean if she did kill someone then i could understand that she shouldn’t be forgiven.. at least not easily. but… she just talked her thoughts out. you don’t have to listen to her. and like you said “every word you type can be used against you” but that’s the same thing as you talk to your friend or family member. they can use your words against you. so i think she knows that.

 anyway… to say what i wanted to say in the end.

if you don’t like the ship or don’t care about it. ignore it. there are ships that i don’t like. do you see me complaining? nope. i’m not yelling any where that they are so .. uh how should i say this… i don’t know. i don’t find it disgusting if you think that’s what i’m thinking cause no it’s not that. it’s just that i don’t get it. and i don’t mind that. i have friends that have different otp than i have. i don’t mind :) if they like them then they like them, and that’s great! spread the love and have happy times while thinking of your ship. that’s what matters to me.

so once again, you don’t like something, you don’t have to say it to that person. (tho it’s different thing if you know that person well…) and if you don’t care, then go forward. forget what you saw or heard.

that’s all. let’s just spread the love around this fandom shall we?
