MY IDOLS, ARASHI 嵐

Recently, I’m CRAZY over ARASHI! Hahaha…


Members are (according to my preference): Ohno Satoshi (Captain, or known as Riida-Leader), Ninomiya Kazunari, Sakurai Sho (the rapper), Aiba Masaki, and Matsumoto Jun.
Debut: September 15, 1999 on a cruise ship in Hawaii with the song "A.Ra.Shi"
Record Label: J-Storm under Johnny's Jimusho (Johnny's Entertainment)
This is the picture I use for my office’s computer’s desktop. Seriously, I REALLY don’t like Matsumoto Jun. SO…I put some icons on his face to block it! =) But I realized tt is more distracting, so I removed them…

Let me introduce my top 3 favourites from ARASHI
No. 1: Ohno Satoshi

Nicknames: Riida, Captain, Oh~chan, Samii(when he's drunk)
Born: November 26, 1980 in Tokyo, Japan.
Height: 1.66 m (SHORTER THAN ME…ARGH, but I still like him the most)
Weight: 55.0 kg
Entered Johnny's: October 16, 1994.
- Appointed as the Leader of Arashi after winning Jan-Ken-Pon against Sakurai Sho on a variety show.
- Is the Lead vocal of the group
- Arashi members have once stated in an interview that Ohno is a new-age idol, who leads his group by NOT leading at all!
- He is considered the best singer and dancer in Arashi, and also one of the best in the whole JE.
- Is very easily hypnotized
- He is an artist too who just held his art exhibition, "Freestyle", from 21-29feb, which featured his works accumulated in a span of 10 years!
I like him because i can see the sparks in his eyes when he is on stage or doing art work. It is Very different from the eyes he has when he is participating in variety shows. He likes to stay low profile, try not to get too much work (he has appeared in the fewest dramas, preferring to do stage plays or focus on his art.) He is not picky abt food, and practically saying "nice/delicious" from the 1st dish to the last dish. He is really kawaii ne, with all the hillarious expressions and "the-blur-like-sotong actions"

No. 2: Ninomiya Kazunari
Nicknames: Nino, Poker Face, Nino-chan
Born: June 17, 1983 in Tokyo, Japan.
Height: 1.68 m
Weight: 49 kg (can't he be fatter? this is way too thin for a GUY)
Entered Johnny's: June 19, 1996.
-He can play guitar (self-taught), is good at gymnastics, host shows, write songs, and has even
on awards for his acting.
-first member of the group/the whole Johnny Entertainment to crossover to American films
-In Arashi he is responsible for the higher vocals and he usually sings with Ohno in a lot of their songs.
-able to "act with his eyes" (i think cheryl likes him pretty much)
-Together with Ohno, they form Ohmiya SK. It's just so funny to see them do silly stuffs tgt.
Well, i really fell in love with him after watching the Yamada Taro Monogatari. After watching some of his other dramas, i really agree that he's able to act with his eyes. Some of the songs that he composed are not bad. One of them is entitled, Konseki. OH, it's damn touching as it expressed the saddness of thinkin of one's dead lover. I cried after reading the translated version and listened to the song!!! How can i don't like him? he is such a Kawaii guy! (prettier than me, Sadded)

No. 3: Sakurai Sho Nicknames: Umbrella, Sakurap/Raper Sho (mean to be Rapper Sho), Sports Idiot
Born: January 25, 1982 in Tokyo, Japan
Height: 1.71 m
Weight: 57.2 kg
Entered Johnny's: October 22, 1995.
-Sho is often thought of as the "other leader" of the group.
-He is the only one in Arashi to have graduated from a University. (Keio University)
-Most of Sho's parts in Arashi's songs are the raps, which he is well known for. Most of the rap lyrics are written by him.
-Also very talented at dancing and acting.
-Although he lost in a round of rock-paper-scissors, hence excusing him from being the group's leader, the other four of Arashi have made many remarks that Sho is the one who possesses leadership qualities
The reasons for me liking him are: He can rap very well, and can tell tt he is a very nice guy from Arashi's variety shows. It seems to me that he is very caring and not to mention, clever. I really love his sunshine-like-smile. Oh...so charming! hahahaha.
