(In studio)
Masu: This year, all ARASHI members have been leading in TV dramas and films.
S: (Look surprised) All members! Yes. We five members, for the first time, had exposure talk (on acting). Please watch the video.
(VTR)
Masu: ARASHI members! Thanks for the interview today!
ARASHI: Thanks for your support.
Masu: Please have your seat. Today I would like you to take freely about acting.
N: I see.
Masu: First of all, let me ask frankly, do you watch other members’ acting performance?
A,M: Yes I do.
M: In me they’re the actors whom I adore very much.
(N,S,O,A bowed to response).
N: Good day.
S: Good morning.
Masu: Good morning.
Masu: In terms of acting, do you in fact talk about this among yourselves?
N: We don’t, do we?
M: No we don’t.
S: We don’t even talk about this once, do we?
M: Because we don’t ask such question. Question like “how do you create your character?”.
Masu: You may have thought “this member is this type of actor, isn’t he?”, Ohno-san as actor, as other members see, what type of actor would you think he is?
A: He has a lot of characters who are not human being, doesn’t he?
O: Many!
S: Like “Kaibutsu-kun".
A: Yes yes yes! They are characters. It’s splendid.
N: Because Ohno-san manages to act these characters, Ohno-san’s works come to Ohno-san.
Masu: To be frank what type of actor is Matsumoto-san as actor?
S: I think many people would vaguely feel this, well, he is the only one among us who is with love story content.
Masu: Love story content.
S: His works expressed a full scale of love.
N: I think it’s great, really.
S: We four almost have no love story. “Love story-like” love story.
N: Right. (O nodded)
M: No no, I think people want to watch you all acting love story!
N: Well, but, we’ve done a bit, but (to Masu) you don’t have memory on this, right?
S: Right so!
Masu: This is not the case!
N: We’ve done a bit, because we are adults. But people don’t have such memory!
O: No such memory.
Masu: As for Matsumoto-san’s love story content, what feeling does everyone have when watching it?
A: Excited! (laugh)
(All laughed, S nudged A, M stood up and laughed)
S: You are bad! (S,A laughed) This guy is bad! (laugh) (Masu laughed)
M: You feel excited… I didn’t know this! Such thing. (giggle)
S: He has a variety of knowledge and experiences. Therefore, even it writes “embrace” in the script, he has a rich versions, right?
Masu: Matsumoto-san as expected! Matsumoto-san, do you switch your character/personality? Indeed for “when you are with ARASHI members”, and “when you are your own character”?
M: I don’t intend to switch my character/personality though, I almost don’t study script at green room.
Masu: Where do you study the script?
M: At home.
Masu: That you would like to study script at home, is it a rule you’d stick to?
M: Um, I am the type that would like to do it when I’m alone.
Masu: Then what are the impression of members towards Sakurai Sho-san as actor?
N: I have an image that many of his characters are with flooding script lines.
A: There are also many explanation.
N: Therefore I think he comparatively have less time remembering script lines.
Masu: In fact how is it, Sakurai-san?
S: At first I did spend quite time remembering script lines. For the filming of the TV drama this time, I went back home with osake, I remembered script lines while drinking osake. If I remembered script lines perfectly in such condition, I would perfectly say my script lines the next day. Because I can even say it when drunk.
Masu: Interesting approach!
N: He is splendid, isn’t he? Because he didn’t drink because he wanted to enjoy osake. He drank because he wanted to make sure he would be fine to say the script lines even when drunk. (giggle)
M: It would have been super bad had you found that you didn’t remember the script lines when you woke up. (All laugh)
N: (Pretend to be regretful) Why did I drink!!
S: (Laugh) (Follow N’s neta) I screwed it up~
Masu: ARASHI members who are busy, they have their specific way of remembering script lines.
S: Aiba-san’s script is all along messy. (A laugh)
Masu: Messy?
S: Aiba-kun’s way of remembering script lines, in the past, there were people marking down the scripts with red pen, and used underlay to hide the other parts, weren’t it? He’s doing more analog things. (A giggle)
S: (Lay his two hands flat, like an opening book) The script is like this, right? He folds the script one way, and slowly, slowly read the script line by line… (All laugh)
A: I do this!!
S: Well, at last of that episode the script already became flabby.
N: He looks like a person who’s looking forward to the contents in the covered binding.
Masu: Each member really has totally different approach indeed?
S: Well, because we haven’t had such conversation before, it’s interesting to have this talk.
Masu: And then the only member who has acted in Hollywood film, Ninomiya Kazunari-san.
A: Speaking of this, I and Leader watched the film "Letters from Iwo Jima" together.
O: Yes we did, Nino’s film.
A: At cinema.
Masu: You went to cinema!?
O: We two went to cinema!
A: We were not discovered at all~ (giggle)
O: Not discovered at all.
Masu: Actor with splendid skills whom ARASHI is proud of, Ninomiya-san’s way of remembering script lines.
M: At the workplace we are all here, he really is alwaaays playing game until the very last moment.
Masu: His appearance of studying the script…?
M: I didn’t see this at all. Studying script… Well, he studies script, I think.
N: I study script, it can’t be that what I say is miraculously matching the script lines.
A: You did something like remembering the script lines with listening?
N: Yes I did remember script lines by listening to them.
A: They are not just words on paper.
N: Yes yes.
A: You manage to remember them by listening to them.
N: The script lines of “Haha To Kuraseba” were all Nagasaki dialect, I didn’t open the script not even once.
Masu: Eh! You didn’t open it?
N: I didn’t.
S: You remembered them by sound.
N: I all along remembered the script lines by sound.
S: Not to mention he is the actor with Academy Award whom our group is proud of.
(AMOS applauded, N stood up and bowed)
M: Which year?
N: The 39th year! That competing 39th year. (giggle)
S: Please stop this~ (giggle)
Sho-san’s comment in studio:
Speaking of that we have different approaches remembering script lines, because normally we almost have no such conversation about acting, about our work as well as variety programmes, about what approach we have on our work, we really had a good chance to talk about this. I don’t know about this of other members. My way of remembering script lines, things like, it seemed we’ve talked about something great, but actually I was just drinking in a shortened time. It’s absolutely not a good way of doing this. Absolutely please don’t do this.
(About ARASHI members are in good relationship) It was joyful watching the video, right?
