①いままでのコンサートで、印象的だったのは?
2004年夏の『いざッ、Now Tour!!』のジャングルメドレー。すごい好きでしたね。DVDにもなってるけど(笑)。ドーム状のセットで、すごい世界観ができあがっていてさ。まさに、ライオンキング的な(笑)。曲のアレンジも好きだったなぁ。
②嵐以外のコンサートで、印象的だったものは?
3年前くらいかな? BLACK EYED PEASの日本武道館での来日公演だね。汗だくになって、帰りにTシャツ買ったもん(笑)。ホント、超盛り上がって、しまいには『Where is the Love?』を泣きながら聽いてたりして、超どうしようもない客だったよ(笑)。ホント好きなんだよ～。囯內外に問わず、やっぱりいろんなアーティストのライブを見るのはいいよね。それこそ、こないだ行った、関ジャ二∞のライブもよかったし。
③春、夏、秋、冬…ツアーをそれぞれ経驗してきましたが、好きなのは?
やっぱ、夏だね。夏＝コンサートていうイメージが強いから、好きだよね。あと、夏はツアーの期間が長いのがいいよね。冬だとどうしても期間が短くなりがちじゃない?
⑤好きだった、お気に入りのソロ曲は?
ファーストコンサートのときの『Can't Take My Eyes Off You (君の瞳に恋してる)』。最初、オレひとりで歌ってるんだけど、途中からほかのメンバーがバン! って出てくる演出で。それがよかったね。あとは去年の国立だよね。“国立競技場”でラップができるなんて思ってもみなかったから、感動した。メンバーのソロで印象的なのは、ニノの『秘密』かな? かわいかったよね。いつも裏で着替えながら、いっしょに踊ってたもん(笑)。
⑦去年の5大ドーム公演『Dream-A-live』ツアーの思い出といえば?
これはもう、完全にバルーンですね(苦笑)。あの高さ(地上30m)、ホント怖かったな。降りたときの安心感たるや、尋常じゃなかったよ。“地上ってすてき❤”って(笑)。あとは、オープニングのパレードかな。オレ、最後に出てくるんだけど、オレが乘ってるフロート(パレート車)がお客さんの前に出るころには、曲もサビの途中くらいまで終わっちゃってて。ま、裏で歌ってたけどね(笑)。

①In all the concerts until now.. what was something that made an impression?
(i) really really liked the jungle medley in the [2004 Iza, Now Tour!!] .. but then (i) don't own the dvd lols.. as for the Dome setlist.. it gives you a rather worldly view.. somewhat like LION KING lols.. (i) like the song arrangements too...
②Other than Arashi concerts.. what other concerts made an impression?
it was about 3 years ago? when Black Eyed Peas came to 日本武道館 for a concert.. (i) sweated so much that (i) had to buy a shirt on my way back to change into.. lols (i) was really excited.. and when (i) was listening to them perform [Where is the Love?] (i) had tears.. surely (i am) one of those fans that cannot contain themselves yo.. lols ホント好きなんだよ～ whether it is Japanese artists or foreign artists it is やっぱり better to go to a lot of live concerts ne.. then again it was good that (i) got to attend the Kanjani 8 concert..
③Spring.. Summer.. Autumn.. Winter.. you've had much experience with tours year round.. which do you prefer?
most definitely Summer ne.. the image that Summer = Concert is afterall a very strong one.. and (i) like it very much ne.. also.. a Summer tour has a longer time span.. and that's good.. isn't Winter a bit short (for a full tour)?
⑤What is your favorite solo performance (to date)?
the First Concert's [Can't Take My Eyes Off You].. at first I had to sing alone.. but in then later other members came and joined me.. that was good ne.. also the performance (i) did at kokuritsu last year.. to be able to rap in 国立競技場 was something very touching (to me).. as for the most impressionable solo from another member .. wouldn't it be Nino's [Himitsu]? it was cute ne.. when (i) was changing in the back .. (i) would always be dancing along to the song lols.. メンバーのソロで印象的なのは、ニノの『秘密』かな? かわいかったよね。いつも裏で着替えながら、いっしょに踊ってたもん(笑)。
⑦during last years 5 dome tour [Dream-A-live] what was the most stand out memory?
surely it completely was the ballons ne (bitter laugh).. that thing was 30m above ground.. REALLY scary.. every time we start to descend (i) am overwhelmed by a great sense of relief.. that amount of relief is no joke.. the ground is awesome❤ LOL.. also.. at the opening parade.. the float i am on is the last to come out.. but when the song starts (i am) still in the dark.. maa.. dance in the dark ne LOLs..

for Arashi's photoshoot this time.. to determine the order (in which they are to be) naturally it became a janken decision.. the winner Sakurai kun with a "yosha--" decided to be the one sitting on the chair.. then later regretting saying "it's not fun at all here..".. during the shoot.. Ohno kun, who was the second from the left, seemed quite dangerous of slipping off.. his face became bright red.. the others (members) yelled out "リーダー!" voicing their support at the situation.. this photo was taken right after when Ohno kun (who was at his limits) traded places with Ninomiya kun..
+++++
puahahahahha.. Sho kun thought he was being so smart to choose the chair XD hahaha but in the end backfired right into his face lololols.. and Ochan.. XDDD everyone's muscles were probably quite stressed to keep the position.. lolols give it to the 'old' one to fall short lols.. aww.. lols cute 83
maa.. haha i dont know if they work for other instant messengers but they work for me when i'm using them on msn (shrugs i dunno wat else you can use them for haha but do as you please ^___^) these are some emoticons i've made from previous gifs what not from the past.. hahaha as seeing it is shofest.. i decided to post them.. =D please dont claim them as your own handywork.. but by all means go ahead and use them.. haha wat fun are emoticons if you cant annoy your friends w/ them XD there are obviously more Sho kun's hahaha well not only because it's shofest but because it's me.. and i like to make Sho kun gifs.. 83 lolols..
+++++
arent they so funny to look at all together XD haha
msn emoticons bundle of joy 83
+++++
i'd rather you not leave comments for them individually haha
if you want to just leave comments at this post ^_^"
it makes it easier for me not have to go searching to answer..
gotten permission from my Sho buddy to translate her posts from before 83 though i know its not as good as literally doing a translation directly from the japanese text.. but she's quite good and sticks quite close to the text (much better than the one i had read before haha) so instead of denying you all the joy.. i decided more is always better 8D and something is always better than nothing.. lols and if you think it's bad T__T then it's all me not her ok.. i'm the reason if anything is to suck from here on Orz sorreeeee

**this time it's Sakurai's long time dream of riding to work.. **
**for this we set out to find him the best bike**
to fufill the dream of riding to work..
first we need to find him a good buddy (bike)..
a bike that is beating on the grounds of cement in the city.. Sakurai who wants to transport by bike arrives to a bike shop located in the city.. he says.. he got this dream under the influence of a friend.. "it was probably some time before last summer.. when i was to meet my friend for a bite to eat.. and he came riding to our engagement.. i was intrigued and asked him why.. and he said that he's been riding to work for a while now.. from his place to his work location is about 5-6 miles.. so then i started thinking myself.. isn't my place just about the right distance to ride to my work place in the city? if it's just simply for the purpose of transporting within city boundaries.. riding a bike is actually much faster than driving.. so ever since the end of the summer tour i've been constantly thinking.. perhaps during break time from Honey and Clover (the movie) i should just get one first.. but then the filming of Kisarazu Cat's Eye (the movie) is about to start.. so i guess my wishes to ride to work will have to be delayed.. anyhows.. i'll come to the shop first to look around!"
so will (he) be able to ride a bike home today?
"when i was in 5th grade there was a period of time when i particularly liked riding my bike.. i've rode to faraway places too.. but far is probably just from 駒場東大前 to shibuya.. about 1.5 miles (laugh).. talking about going faraway.. it was sure hard during mayonaka no arashi! (we'd) have to ride nonstop from midnight to 6AM.. honestly.. only during work is the bike really ever used.. normally there is no chance at all to ride a bike.. lately.. for some reason there is a bike from the previous PINO ballots parked in the parking space of my house.. i dont really know who's it is.. but i guess it's either got to be my dad's or mine (laugh)"
entering the stop there are racks of racing bikes to choose from.. Sho san timidly asked the manager "how much is the most expensive bike you have in stock?" unbelievably 70万 yen! under limited budgets we decided to just take a quick look at that one and go for more practical choices.. "this tire is smaller.. is it sturdy enough to ride in the city?".. "what is the main difference between a normal bike and a folding bicycle?" Sho san asked many good questions about purchasing.. and the shop clerk patiently answered them as Sho san listened w/ many nods of affirmation..
finally a handsome bike.. "this one seems very sturdy!"
but taking a closer look we saw that it was a porsche bike.. amongst the bikes there were also bikes from mercedes.. the prices were all 10 times over (our) budget so (we) took them as considerations and moved on.. by and by Sho san was like "ahh.. (i) really want to own one (laugh)" his urges to buy has become strong.. the question now is no longer if we should buy or not.. but which one to buy.. "last time when i got a guitar it was just like this.. i bought the most expensive one w/o thinking too much and later regreted.. this time i'm gonna choose a bike that suits my needs best to buy.." if situation calls for it.. i can even just stick it right in the back trunk of my car (he bought a folding bicycle^^)
"i think buying something has everything to do w/ the timing.. if (i) dont buy it today.. (i) might end up never buying it.. actually i had wanted the black one.. but it was too expensive so i had to back down.."
Sho san's biking days are scheduled to start when he begins his rehearsals for the butai Beautiful Game.. in time (he'll) be able to ride freely on healthy trips w/ his good buddy..
今月の夢達成度: 100%
"i gave it 100%! because ever since rehearsals for the concerts i've been considering this idea for a long time.. to be able to successfully finish this purchase through arashizm was just great.. not only the timing was just right.. i was also taken aback from the shop clerks good attitude.. this was truly a great shopping experience"
Editor's words
being in a familiar place for this times Arashizm interview Sho san was like "the pool center i use to go when i was a kid is just around the corner! somehow it's so 懐かしい!" ... "the weather has been cold and seems to be getting colder.. and anyways KCE movie filming is just about to start.. maybe today is just for window shopping and not for buying.." at first Sho san had a very depressing attitude as to the possibilities of fulfilling his biking dream.. but after taking a ride on cameraman K's bike.. (Sho) became quite excited and exclaimed "this bike is so easy to ride! give it to me ba (laugh)".. after such ideas of owning blossomed .. (Sho) was on full throttle in the bike shop.. only troubled for about 30 minutes.. he closed the deal thus completing this mission w/ flying colors!
