Theme : The place and scenery that you like at Kokuritsu.

This year Kokuritsu, we had chance to perform “Arafes” for two days. Especially, It was just the five of us. It’s the first time for us holding a concert just with the five of us. It’s new. Moreover, It’s been a while for us having that kind of opening. It’s a long time ago since we started it by popping out in different places. When “Dream a Live” tour, we came out separately and then gathered in the middle. It feels fresh. We came out when the overture’s song was played and the audiences started to scream, but there was no one (jr.) around. It was really new for me. We used to shake hands with the feeling of “Let’s give our best!” before we make appearance with others. Because we came out separately this time, I kept thinking by my self “It’s hot~” inside the balloon (lol).

It’s our 5^th time being able to perform at Kokuritsu. It’s a grateful thing. The topic I got this time is “It’s already your 5^th, so you must have favorite scenery or place right?”. Include this time projects, it became the 2^nd time for me taking picture at Kokuritsu. I got it. Did you get it? But you know, speaking about the good point of Kokuritsu, the best is it’s outdoor. I don’t have particular space that I like. In other words, I like everyplace. That’s why, other than doing it that way, I’m back with photos that I would like you to see (lol). It’s the stage scenery when we had rehearsal on September 19^th. As I thought, the scenery from upper stage is hard to see. Even for the official camera too, it’s quite difficult to take from upper stage.

The highest award is given to… “Rainbow”, right? No matter what. By the way, doesn’t it make you think it’s great just by looking the picture? But… this one (the bright part in the right side of the rainbow) is rainbow too. It’s hard to tell but it’s double rainbow. I could see it clearly with naked eye. The site got excited. Because Aiba-kun kept pointing on the sky, I wondered what was he pointing on, and actually it was rainbow. This one is the best! The next one? Hmm… I think this one. This person (a man who raising his hands while making peace pose) is J. Maybe it’s the moment when we rehearse “Natsu no owari ni omou koto”. At this song we just need to walk. Honestly I was bored and took out my camera, when I faced him, he realized it. Perhaps he was bored too (lol).

Therefore, this time behind the scene theme is Rainbow. I would like to show you the rainbow but two rainbows appeared (lol). After all I would like many people see it, I represent it on this bulletin. Gentle, right? Yes, I’m basically gentle! Though it’s a little bit late (lol). The main point is the rainbow appeared in the rehearsal. After all, double rainbow appeared! It’s rare!

 

 

 

 

More 2012.12 - It

Tadaima~ After being hiatus for a month finally I'm back! ^^ Their national tour will start at Osaka this month! Yeay! Popcorn~ And Nino also wrote the next episode of Niji for his solo in new album~ ^^So I brought "It" back! Enjoy~

 

SUDDEN TEARS

While dealing with his expressing emotion work, he is trying to not get captured by his own emotion. Even that, for “It” who has been continue until know, a wholehearted thought appeared.

 

This year [24h TV] was the third time for Ninomiya to be appointed as the main personality. He shed tears entirely the show. We could feel his chagrin when the scene where Kita-san read the letter to his family before the marathon started and when a girl challenged climbing Yakushima Mountain. For him who rarely gets emotionally, it felt unusual.

 Actually I cry often. The objective is just different with others. In the first place, I merely cried when I was child. I don’t really remember but maybe I only knew how to express my emotion by crying. Such as when I didn’t want to go out, got stomachache, felt lonely, or hated. I couldn’t express my negative feeling with words, so I just cried and appealed others. But, my other expressing emotion was weak. I rarely laugh out loud or get delighted (lol). My choice was crying or acting docile. Since I grew my awareness, I did nothing but playing game or baseball. I’m a trouble kid. And yet, because I could only cry, I am actually a person who easily moved to tears, right?

 

For him who is crybaby by nature, as he got mature, the frequency of shedding tears is getting smaller, and the reason for it is changed too.

I think I almost never shed tears regarding to my job. Usually the other looks tearful such as in the stage of concert or drama’s crank up. For example, I deeply moved when the concert starts or ends. But I don’t cry like Aiba-kun (lol). I do feel the sense of fulfillment after getting over the hardness of drama’s site. But it’s just nothing but glad. For example, one day there was a cool person who cried at drama’s crank up. At that time looking at that tear, I thought actually he was a passionate person and it would be good if I could do the same. But in my case, I can’t do that.

Perhaps it heard cold but there’s a reason for his style.

The reason I don’t shed tears at site is because I think about things in the future. If I imagine what’s next after the drama’s crank up or what will happen the moment after the concert, I can’t be sentimental. At the concert, the other member show their emotion but my aim role is who objectively put something calmly. In case of drama or movie too, it’s because of blessed work and location, when the crank up I think that someday I want to work with them again.  In order to make it happen, I need to get stronger so I could gather them. Today I’m in the position who gets invited but someday…. The determination which I should pile up my achievement comes first, so that’s why I don’t shed tears.

 

It’s not the tears of emotion because of valuable human relationship or trust that was gotten at site, but the feeling wants to reborn a new will. It’s very manly.

Though as the related party I don’t shed tears, but I do cry when I look at the staffs who worked together with me at the olden times work hard at different site. I was moved to tears at home alone when I saw a name who used to be an assistant director as the director at the credit of a piece of work. There was a time when I unintentionally sent him email (lol). But I don’t shed tears for members or other people around me because I think it’s natural to work hard (lol). It’s the same with [24h TV], I wonder I cry for other part than myself.

 

There are various kind of tears and the way of cry is different each other.

In drama or movie, the scene or acting let’s cry is not everything. Like drama Royal School type, the teacher together with the students pile up the emotionally moved line and they are like “I cry!”, I will make you cry!”, I think it’s okay. But for me, I like the acting of “sudden tears”. Because not only limited for tears, I think the real human expression is something that gust forth. For example, a quite old man, when he accidently hears the 2 words of “sensou (wars)” that’s broadcasted at television, he loses his control and cannot stop his tears. In brief, to make someone cry, I think it’s something related to the person’s experience or memory, so if we could deliver those, we could touch their heart. I think it’s the same for the people who watched Olympic or [24h TV].  Though it’s not the life of the related person that is explained with word but it’s delivered from the stadium, the people who watch it will shed tears. Maybe in case of drama or movie, the explanation is required.  But I want to express it without much explanation. I want to deliver it.

 

“I don’t want to explain!”. As the consequence of that line he must match the emotion and the expression. Human, whoever and wherever he is, lives while acting. 

It’s because we ourselves act “cry”, the public won’t easily shed tears and maybe we will act calm even though has been made cry by someone. “Women’s tears” won’t work on me (lol). 

 

Osarai Talk - TV Life 2012.07.21

I think it's been a while since I translated this Arashi ni Shiyagare corner in TV Life. So... here we are~

 

Sunglasses Collection!

Let’s do big encounter the very unknown Special

SAKURAI X NINOMIYA

TL : This time “Chou Misitsu~” theme was “polish your fashion in welcoming summer and be “popular guy”. Sakurai-san has been taught by DJ Chris Peppler about the secret of frozen daiquiri.

S : First of all, I was glad being able to meet Chris Peppler.  I often hear him on radio when I’m in the middle of moving somewhere.

N : He has good voice.

S : It’s like a live because it heard surround sound.

TL : You looked enjoy drinking Frozen Daiquiri at inspection location.

S : I don’t really drink cocktail, so being able to be taught by him was a good trigger. I think I will drink it when I go to a bar. Since then, I started to listen to Pit-bull again.

TL : It’s because you’ve been taught to “Request Pit-bull for the song!”, right.

S : It was a shock for me being lag behind like that (lol). I’ve introspected myself. I should be more catching up.

TL : Ninomiya-san, you’ve learned “the secret of choosing sunglasses” from Towa Tei and practice it. How was it?

N : It was really interesting, but what do you think? It fits me?

TL : Of course, it was exactly look good on you.

N : It’s not like that. I also said so to myself and everyone said the same to me. But, just before [Waku waku] in Sendai, I watched that corner on air with the staff, and they told that It was not good on me at all.

S : Hahaha (lol)

N : When I asked them spontaneously “Is that bad?”, they replied with “isn’t it revolting?”. Though after that I made it clear with them that it’s not that revolting at all. (lol)

S : That one that looks good with your blond was nice too.

N : I thought so. But at that time they refused me.

TL : Do you wear sunglasses often?

S : I don’t really see him wear sunglasses.

N : I don’t wear it.

S : Speaking about member, it’s Matsujun who often wears sunglasses. And Aiba, sometimes.

N : But overwhelming who wear it is Jun-kun.

TL : Then, what you want to say that maybe the image of Ninomiya-san plus sunglasses is cannot be linked (lol).

S : I think so.

N : Certainly, it won’t look familiar with me.  

TL : And for the last one, connected to the theme, what is the condition to be a “popular guy”?

N : After all it’s being able to know and be yourself, right. Yeah, I think so. Aniki who came so far are like that and they are really particular about something.

S : I think Nino and I are similar, but rather than saying we are detailed about what we like, we are the type who probe into something.

 

More 2012.10 - It

Yeay!!!! The first "It" More has been released!!!!! ^_______^ I'm so happy to release this! I think Nino's way of speaking is not really complicated like before! Yet He took many ways to reach his point. XDDDDD

And... Happy Formation day~ ^^

CONTINUATION

I want to present new technique in every production if I keep continue acting. It’s a manner to propose a newborn to the people in the filming location.

 

If something that continues without any intention exists, so something that will reach the end also exist before no one knows. Ninomiya Kazunari’s way is to continue the unpredictable future.

This day filming location was in an old footwear shop that has been opened since the first year of Taisho era (1921) in Asakusa. A pair of geta with yellow sandal strap looked good with his gold highlight that still visible on his hair. “It’s difficult to continue something, right”. It’s one of his favorite phrases. I think due to “the continuation” is difficult, it’s worth. As well as in the term of work, variety and also in the term of human relation. It will be the 13th year since the formation of Arashi this September. Moreover the live tour that will be held at National Stadium this year will be the 5th.

“Kokuritsu, I hope we can do concert where everyone can enjoy it as always. I think there’s no fighting spirit within us like “because it’s our 5th that we must do something new”. I do want to create something good but I never think to exceed the rule or the stereotype drastically, something like “We want to show you the new us!”.

So it could be called the general activities of Arashi.

‘We do in the same way when we produce CD or variety. The more important is respond what the society looking for than convey our inside or intention because that’s our job. I do think, maybe today’s society is looking for the new Arashi. Of course everyone has different expectation to us but I feel that the kind of Arashi that they want to see is five men who look in good term and having fun. That’s why most of the project that came to us was like that. For us, I think we do want to plan something new but we never decide to do in that way, that’s why the cheerful and intimate Arashi until now is not a fake. When the five of us were together, it’s really fun so that we could laugh naturally. I hope we could satisfy everyone wishes while enjoy it as usual we’ve done until now.

However, regarding to your solo project, the approach and the way of thinking are little bit different, right.

"The offer for solo project came but to some extent they let me do what I wanted to do and other wise I must take the responsibility too. Specially regarding to acting, there’s point where I do think about the continuity. It’s about act in different method every time. For example, the filming of [24 hours television] was done after the movie [Platina Data]’ shooting, but the airing time is [24 hours] first. That’s why I decided not to use the same technique like in [Platina Data]. But of course there was the manner to everyone who watched and who participated in this production like the director and the co-stars. I was being able to bring something new up, it was because of those people, so it would be insolence if I use the same technique at the next filming. As the actor, get influenced by those rarely meeting and struggling in my own way, I want to discover something new and present it. That is not just for my self who want to continue acting but after all it’s for everyone who create it with me and for the people who watch it too."

For that reason, his caliber as the actor is getting higher and the number of people who wants to work with him can’t be suppressed.

"I will be happier if they have enthusiasm for the production than said “at any rate, I want to work with Ninomiya Kazunari”. I want them to say “Because I want to work on this, I want to do this with Ninomiya”.

I’m glad I can continue both Arashi’s work and my solo work.

He can balance his work between Arashi and your solo. Nino said “I’m glad with both of them”. It looks like that simple thought has been getting strong from year to year. He’s building up the way that only Ninomiya Kazunari who can do to continue Arashi as well as his solo work.  

“I think we can’t separate major and minor strictly, and it’s not necessary either... Even in the movie, music or everything, being able to create the major is an impressive thing. I think the responsibility of the major doing something like spending a lot of fund for advertising is massive (lol). It became a good experience for me more and less. On the other hand, in this era, the production that society is seek for also, honestly each person is like being subdivided. If we think in that way, we, as the transmitter, than doing in the same way like we always did until now, I think maybe we should do some change.”

He’s not frightened with the changing. Even he’s doing it in purpose or not, continuing is to be continued and which is what the end is the end.

“In the following next year, the national stadium will be reconstructed. That’s why we never know until when we can do live in that stage with the name of National Stadium. Everyone told me that being able to do live in Kokuritsu was awesome, but maybe the children who don’t know the value of holding a concert in Kokuritsu will appear several years later (lol). But, it’s not a problem. Because something which will get older is exists the new one is born. Precisely because the times will flow, even it will reach it’s ending someday, it has the value of being “continued”.

 

Ps : Sorry for weird english! Hahaha. I can't make it sound stylish like Nino's way of speaking in japanese. >.<

Secret of Arashi

The Secret of “Arashi’s future” of Matsumoto Jun

This time guest was Perfume but how was your impression about [Share house] itself?

M : How should I say this but I feel relaxed being there with the other. Perfume is also has good relation within members, right? The atmosphere of those three when relax, doesn’t it feel resemble us? When the 5 of us being together. That’s why I think We chat without many plans.

It’s the question related to that [share house]. “What kind of room of Matsumoto Jun’s [Share house]?

M : I don’t really know about the other rooms, so if I’ve been asked what kind of mine, ..... I’m not sure. Oh, share house? The set one? Hmm... there are a lot of DVDs. (lol)

“Please tell me the share house’s interior that only known by member!”

M : That’s everything, it’s furnished with many facilities. It’s a real house where even the house appliances are usable. It’s really comfortable if I can live there. I think you can see the different side of it depends on the people who came.

 “How was the result of your medical checkup?”

M : There’s nothing wrong. I don’t have any problem with my health and everything goes well. (lol)

“If the share house is done by the five of you, what kind of thing do you want to do?”

M : Hmm... (deep thinking). I want to make a cake from the first step.

With five of you? It’s a pleasure for the one who eat it. (lol)

M : The reason is not like I want to eat something sweet but because it looks like a difficult work. If it’s hot pot, it’s easy right? I want try to make cake with the others because we have to many things correctly like measuring the amount of the ingredients. And the decorating part too. (lol)

It sounds fun. “And then, who is the guest who left the biggest impact to you at Mannequin must item?”

M : Ehh? I wonder who.... But, after all isn’t it Nishikawa Sensei, right? She’s been there for many times, and every time she comes she’s getting intense. (lol) I always think “Don’t spill out that intense word so easy!”. That deep words. (lol)

“It’s been a while you changed your hair style and color. How was the other member’s respond?” This kind of question is the most.

M : It’s been a while since I changed it so they were shocked.

At that time, all members were there?

M : Yes. At that time I had another work before and when I entered the green room for standby, the other was surprised. They said “Cool, it’s been a while since you changed it!”

“Matsumoto-kun, you said that you will pitch the 24 hours television with all power, so what do you think about future? What kind of future you wish for yourself and also for Arashi?”

M : I think we can spend our life while looking back and thinking, “there were many things happened but they were fun!”. So, than thinking something accordant with what we think or thinking too much about what will happen in the future before making action,  I think the most important is being able to enjoy the present life.

You mean Future is the piled up of those days and moving forward.

M : Yes. It’s okay if you think about it roughly but let’s move forward without making any calculation. But it’s okay if you set a goal. I think the more important is spending your life now while enjoying the mistake and the failure of what you want to do or your goal than worrying to bring the things accordant to what you think.

Just an example, how’s Arashi in 10 years later?

It’s a blessing more than anything if we could keep continue like this. Maybe the form will keep changing but in 10 years later I hope we could be together like this, so while thinking about one and another, I want to cherish what we do now.

TV Navi 2012.08 - Nino

お疲れ様でした～嵐！Thanks for your hardwork for 24 hours television~ Did anyone watch it? Oh... I wish I could watch them live~ >.< hahaha. But I did watch Nino's SP drama!!! ^^ It was so touching~ "助けてください" isn't an easy phrase to say. That's what I thought when I watched it. Maybe especially for japanese. The drama tells us that it's better to ask someone help than make a reckless decision if you are cornered. It's just my opinion. ^^ So... I think this post will be the last article him talking about the SP. Enjoy~

 

 

It’s been 10 years Nino dyed blond his hair since movie [Pika*ichi]. It’s quite dazzling. When he has been asked about the reaction of surrounding people, he said [I’ve been asked by everyone “What kind of work do you do?” (lol). I fully realized that it was not the age for me anymore to dye my hair in private.] After finishing the filming for the upcoming year opened public movie [Platinum Data], he dyed his hair and entered the set of his new drama. The opinion of people surrounded was right but it’s really of him who couldn’t respond it straightly.

The Special drama [I can fly to the sky by wheelchair] of the 35th 24hours television this summer [Save the world with Love] starred Ninomiya Kazunari who played a young man who walk his miserable life on wheelchair. Ninomiya who already shown his talent in many movies and dramas, unexpectedly it’s his first time to star in NTV channel. It’s considerably surprised in a good way where recently he has been acting as the young man and appear in this kind of frame of drama too.  

“I’ve always wanted to appear in 24 television’s drama.”

This interview is started with Ninomiya’s extraordinary enthusiasm.

“This project was started like usual where I was able to discuss my idea about many things. When the framework of the drama was out, we had a lot of ideas of what should we do to make it good, what theme or story we should build up, we thought about these all again and again. I’m grateful being able to polish the plot thoroughly together with the staff that I just knew.”

“I’m an idol persistency. Because I’m not an actor.”, declared Ninomiya-san who used to be to stick with the stance where he acted earnestly what’s been told to him. That’s why it’s the first to see him like this. "I could feel the importance of the role of 24 hour television drama special after watching for several times. That’s why I don’t want to do this half-hearted.  After doing many discussions, now I think isn’t being able to deliver the humanist drama is the importance. "Become hemi paresis. Life is completely changed. It’s terrible.” It’s Is something that really difficult but speaking reversely I think it’s something ordinary. Because it’s something you can’t lose to. Take one step forward from that point, and because of that, family and friends are existed. That’s why I’ve said that just by drawing the things with giving the best can’t move our feeling like that. Maybe because I want to make a different 24 hour drama so far. However by any chance there are fans of 24 hour drama will feel discomfort with this. But I did read the script and it was a really good story.”

Hasebe, the blond young man who didn’t live his life seriously,  half of his lower body get paralyzed as the consequence of being troubled Yankee, where he has to be burdened by the fate that he can’t walk on his foot for the whole life. Because he has been crushed and hurt by the harsh reality, and live with the thought that no one needs him anymore, he almost takes a reckless action. It’s about the story how he can refresh his life after so many incident and encounter that happened in his life.

“Perhaps what has been delivered to the audience was that he was a hopeless man, but he was a nice guy. He’s been abandoned and lived in despair but I try my best to show in my act in order to make the audiences grasp that part. “

Is there any thought you have after participate in many productions until know?

“Speaking from a great significant, I think a drama is something that connects people.”

Ninomiya-san who used to be leave confusing in his word, uttered something that straightly touch the core.

“That’s why with this drama, I didn’t just wish that it would encourage the handicaps but also I hope I can draw something more important with that.”

This year 24h TV is the 3rd time for Arashi to be appointed as the main personality. This year theme is Future. To match the drama with the theme, it supposed to present “the future hope”. Then, to Ninomiya-san who also appears in 24h TV special drama, we’ll wait with the great expectation whether he can bring the shining future out.

“To people who always watch 24h TV, It’s started now. I thought to run through the end with the good feeling, so I could receive the audience’s anticipation feeling. Then I want to pass the baton to the next 24h TV in a good shape.

 

TV Guide 2012.08 - SK to the Future SP

So... finally today 24 hour television will be broadcasted!! It's their 3rd time appointed as the main personality of this charity show. The theme of this year show is "Future"! So... we have Ohmiya talk about future~ Haha... speaking honestly they don't talk a lot about their future. They talk more about their own project of this show. ^__________^ Are you ready for stay tune 24 hour non stop watching Arashi?????

To the Future

~The history and the future of [24h TV] that we all know along with Arashi~

Talking about drama SP of Ninomiya Kazunari

 

This time Ninomiya Kazunari-kun himself told a lot about the role he leads in drama special.

Starring on this year special drama, how’s your feeling dealing with the production of this drama?

I’m really grateful because it’s my first leading a drama on Nitere and Arashi being appointed again as the main personality this year. The filming was able to hasten while I discussed a lot with the staff about the drama from zero. I wonder the theme of the program itself, “Future”, gets into well. I was acting while keep hoping this will be a show that can imagine the future of “24h TV”, and of course the future of Japan, too.

What were you talking about with the staff?

I was able to floor my idea and opinion start from the drama’s plan stage. It was like, “Wouldn’t it be good this way?” or “How about doing this?”. It was a precious experience because it was a site where I could state my opinion like that.  [24h TV]’s drama is full of splendid productions and most of them are based on real story. But this time I want the audience enjoy this as a drama, because I kept feeling that I have to show a fascinating production and that’s why I put a lot of my idea and request here. Moreover, the producer was really a person who really listens to other, because of that I honestly glad, and feel grateful.

What kind of person the role that you played?

Hmm, more than talking about what kind of person the protagonist is, I more into how the whole production is, that’s why speaking honestly I don’t really particular about the main character. But the thing that i fuss about was if I was able to show a depress role which the empathy grows in him and he could feel close to the other. I always think how he could be a person who could understand the other sore, and I could draw a bond like a mother-child’s bond.

The last one, After acting for this role, is there something that you want to deliver with this production?

Isn’t it about “A human!”. Speaking of human, there is a good one and bad one. But if we divide it as virtue and evil, we can’t tell that a person who has a beautiful mind as a “virtue”. Human lives in choosing between those. Person who will think “Diet, I’ll do tomorrow” are a lot, right? There’s a type of people who only choose the rightness for the other, it’s really not like a human. But one thing that I want to say is I hope I could deliver a production where the audience can feel the human’s taste through the story or this character.

 

 

To the Future

~The history and the future of [24h TV] that we all know along with Arashi~

Talking about Ohno Satoshi’s charity T-shirt

 

This year t-shirt is designed by collaboration of Ohno Satoshi and

We were let to hear the secret story of the production of this t-shirt.

When did you hear about designing the t-shirt’s plan?

I think it was soon after I started the drama’s filming, maybe about 2.5 months ago? Honestly I thought it would be hard (lol), but it was collaboration with Nara Yoshitomo–san, so it sounded interesting.

About the design’s orientation, how did you decide it?

We had discussion three times but I’ve decided the visual at the first discussion, and both of us put a lot of thought into it, so most of it was done at the second meet. At the first discussion, we thought to inlay a lot of draws that has “future” image, and that was my time to draw. I drew a lot of picture like star or plane, but in the time Nara–san was putting the layout using computer, and the result was a simple drawing.

Was there any difficulties to write kanji “Mirai” with painting brush?

It was in the morning before I left the house. I think when I got tired it’s not the best time to draw something good. I think I drew it the next day in a paper of sketch book. The draw that I drew at first and the draw in the middle stage that was quite design check, and the last one I drew, I brought to Nara–san’s place, and he immediately pointed out his finger “This one!” (the last drawing I drew).

Have you ever drawn calligraphy with design sensibility before?

I’ve written kanji “Satoshi” in my exhibition as well as in my private time. Because I don’t dislike doing that. I always write it. (lol)

You looked enjoy the collaboration with friendly Nara–san!

We did various things together like drawing, making buttons and sometime he sent me email “I watch your drama”. But this time we are entrusted to design t-shirt, so I thought we couldn’t draw the design clamorously like we usually did (lol). That’s why I was feeling “crap!” when the first time I met him, but because of our thought is almost similar, we were like “that’s good, that’s good” to each other works. We decided it instantly.

Since you met Nara–san, is there any influence in your drawing?

When the time I didn’t know –san, I thought even me could draw something like this (lol). But when I saw his paintings, I got goose bump. I thought it was not just a simple painting when I saw the mixing countless color of skin-colored. I felt that it’s not “to draw” but “making a living thing”. Looking at that picture made me want to “enliven” my drawing, too. That’s why I think my drawing is changing gradually.

Hanako 1024 - Nino's part

Again Nino in his blond! Blond? or Orange? I'm not sure! XDDD Sometime it looks blond and sometime orange. Blame the lighting! ^^ But he looks good in blond! In this article he talks about Becky when she came to share house. It reminds me how ochan asked Becky to go out with him. XDD I'm surprised! Even Nino were too~

 

I’m quite attracted by Ohno’s character

Every time Becky-san came to [Arashi-chan] as the guest, she pulled out her frankness. And this time [Share house] also she showed a different and fresh character of her to us.

“Becky-san is the type who can give any respond to anything.  Actually she is the proprietor of splendid characters.”

Then Ninomiya-san, if you analyze yourself, what character you are?

“I think maybe I don’t have a definite character. I’m the side who tampers the interesting character. I’m sly. There’s a part of me who run from that kind of created character (lol).”

So, is there any character you want to try for a day?

“Ohno-san’s ‘naught’ character. That batting average* is good. A new style where the batting average will get higher when there’s no hit! But even so I talk more than Ohno-san (lol).”

However, isn’t it because you were there beside Ohno-san, his naught character came out?

“We encountered as Arashi when both of us 16 years old and 18 years old respectively. And then until now, there’s no act between us, because it’s always very spontaneous relationship.”

From Ohno-san,

I predict that Nino will be the next, because he has no image of going for a trip, if he went abroad, where would he go and what would he do? I’m anxious about it. You can’t say “I don’t want to go”!

Ninomiya's Reply,

It’s Africa. Because I really like animals, I think I want to see wild animals at savanna. I think I want to come in contact with them with my own way. I want to go to somewhere far away from my daily place. How is it? It’s surprising, right! (lol)

 

 

*打率 : It’s the term that usually used in baseball. It means to exceed the old record. (Though I’m not sure)

 

Elle 2012.09 - Nino

The New Challenge of

Arashi Ninomiya Kazunari

Ninomiya Kazunari dyed his hair for his role in a new drama. Ninomiya who has high pro’s awareness and as an actor keeps his breakthrough, spoke passionately about the existence of Arashi, acting, and his work’s policy.

 

            The atmosphere was getting brighter when he entered the studio. Doesn’t it make you think that the aura of popular person is that strong, does it?

               The one we are talking about now is Ninomiya Kazunari, member of National popular group Arashi. In the previous day too, it’s been a while he was busy with the drama’s filming until late at night, but when he was standing in front of the camera, his eyes was shining dignified. It’s been his 16th year entering Jhonny’s management and 12th year since debuted as Arashi. His pro consciousness’s level is also well-known.

[I always think about relationship of mutual trust with the other whenever I do my job. Honestly, regarding to Arashi, it’s never changed. Each member has their own project even those are drama, movie, or stage play, and from that experiences I think they met a lot of people and discovered a lot of things. However, Arashi never get affected by those. We look like sibling in a family, where there is always a place to stays, and it’s always like that. At least, that’s what I feel about Arashi.]

            Please be relief for this reason, because Ninomiya can do his own activity even as an individual. In his case, one of his activities that are prominent is working as actor, after all. He doesn’t only make appearance in many hit dramas like [Ryuusei no Kizuna], [Freeter, Ie o kau], but also appear in many movies starting from [Ao no Honou] directed by spotlighted Ninagawa Director, and step forward appearing in Hollywood movie directed by Clint Eastwood [Letters from Iwojima] that depicted the battle of Iwojima in the end of the World War II.   He was praised high by the world media because of that performance.

[Acting is interesting. The work I like. Of course I’m simply happy if that acting was valued like that. However, there’s an awareness of me that being the actor is not my main occupation. I don’t mean I didn’t do it professionally. I appreciate being called “Acting-clique”, but in my opinion, to the people who really work for stage play, they are not really being praised “Great Acting”. Isn’t it rude for them, is it? I headed to be an Idol, but I don’t express “the smile of idol’s class”. I always think that the praise and the true adjective that I got related to my acting, is the word that fit for a person who do it as not they main work. That’s why when I’ve been told like that, I think it means I, my self still have to work harder.]

            When [Letters from Iwojima] was screened at Berlin Movie Festival, he’s been asked about his advancing to Hollywood by the foreign media, and he answered flatly, “In Japan, I work as an Idol and it’s a priority. Practically I don’t have any intention to go to Hollywood.”

[It’s a real pleasure of making a new encounter and working in a drama or movie. With that meaning, it’s been a great experience for me to meet with Eastwood and appear in his movie. However, there is a great compensation to keep on appearing in Hollywood movie. I had to absent from any work in Japan for the filming, and Arashi’s member also had to match their schedule with me, accelerate their work too. Being treated like that, I couldn’t find the fascination of filming movie abroad.]    

            He moves not because of the relative values but because of absolutely values of “what does he want to do”. He also has his own theory about the acting method.

[I don’t divide the characters. I only read my part in the script so I don’t really understand the whole story. Acting is not done by one person, but there’s partner and also the reaction of that act. I think it’s not something that build up but deliver naturally.

I’m facing my work with my all power. I want to do something new.

                He looks fresh with blond hair but it’s for the drama [Kuruma isu de boku ha sora wo tobu] of 24 hours television where Arashi has been appointed as the main personality, broadcasted August 25th and 26th. A young man who didn’t live his life seriously, his lower-body get paralyzed, can he resuscitation from his despair and move forward...

[This time is the 3rd time Arashi is being appointed as the main personality of 24 hours television. In this drama also, I’m able to work with the staff that I already known so it’s not like starting from zero anymore, that’s why I always want to do something new.]

                A project with his might start from the plan and do a lot of meeting.

[I only feel being the Idol but in the other hand, I want to expand the framework of the Idol and recently that thought has been getting stronger. The junior in the management is increase and I’m not the type who bravely cares for my junior, that’s why I can’t bother them too. As long we (Arashi) could do our own job, we want to expand the chance for them.]    

            Concert, variety show, drama, TV, movie.... Regards of the genre, whatever the work is it’s him    who handle it, his role as Arashi’s member.

[There was the time when we didn’t have any regular show, that’s why the awareness of receiving money is strong, and we think about the work seriously.]

                To be a pro?

[I could tell that as long there’s merit, it worth. Whether is a pro or a amateur. I’ve been asked often about what kind of work I want to do next, but in my case, the basic is passivity. The project that I want to do is rarely could be realized. I think whatever the work is, it must be the person who can do it. Speaking clearly, I’d like people to think “I want to let him to do this” about me, so that’s why I will give my best.

                Your work’s motto is “Give all your best till the end!”

[Facing something with all your best is important. Whatever to what, to give all your best is not easy. That’s why, please think that I could still improve and grow. What a satisfaction for me if there is someone who will think like that.]

Hanako 1021 - Nino's part

Hey there! The time flies so fast and it's already in the end of July! >.< But no problem, August is not that bad ^_- There gonna be the result of the Arafest ballot. XDDD Yeah! Their concert has been announced! Kokuritsu in September!! ^__________^ Meccha tanoshiimiii~ Before that, let's enjoy Nino's blond first! *though he's not blond now*

 

 

When I competed against my friends, generally I would be defeated.

It’s been 10 years since movie [Pika*ichi] Nino got his hair blond, even so in Arashi-chan’s house, he emphasized profusely “Aiba-chan is an impatient person!”.

[I’ve been pushing that joke to him recently. It’s because I thought he was really like that (lol). That’s why I intended to tell about it to the people in this world.]

On the other hand, unfortunately you ended up lost against Aiba-chan in the game~

[Generally I will lose if compete against my friends or someone I know. I didn’t even try to win in the sport day. I’m the type who strong against myself. In a foot racing, maybe I will run faster alone than pairing with someone. Compete against the other won’t raise my motivation, I think. I don’t have any thought like “I won’t lose against other!” (lol).]

Reversely, Aiba-chan is sore loser?

[No, I don’t think so. Aiba-san just enjoys the thing like “Yeah! Let’s compete!”, so basically he likes the thing about competition. The cause of my defeat is this motivation’s range (lol).]

From Aiba-san,

Rainy season is coming soon so what about your rain gear? How about your umbrella?

Ninomiya’s reply

I have my own umbrella. What do you want to say is “do you have any stylish umbrella?”, am I right? If so, I don’t have fold umbrella. I will go out bring umbrella when it’s about to rain. I’ve never gone to somewhere particularly to buy an umbrella. I don’t mind about what umbrella I use as long I can avoid the rain, so I still use the same umbrella since long time!

To Arashi-san,

Speaking of Summer is beach, mountain, river or summer resort and many things to enjoy but is there any place that you want to go except the places that I mentioned before?
