18.11.02 ARASHI Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! ARASHI Remix - Masaki Part

[arashitranslation]

[5x19]
Good evening, I’m Aiba Masaki of ARASHI.
Chika-san, from 3 Nov 1999 when ARASHI’s A・RA・SHI was released, it has been right 19 years. Thank you, thanks to all your support. So we’ve worked on it for 19 years. And anniversary tour is going to start and we’re having various preparation. It’s nostalgic.

On 3 Nov 1999, the song name was writing in alphabet, “A・RA・SHI”, it’s nostalgic just seeing this.

I remembered that on 3 Nov 1999, I went to the CD shop. Our CDs were really placed in the shop. Though they were not placed at a very good place, they were there and I thought “Ah, our CDs are here!”.

I went to my howetown Chiba, and there were also young girls buying our CDs. There were girls buying the CDs in front of me, we even saw each other but I was not recognised at all. How weird. When I though “Ah I’m so happy~” and went near that person, she didn’t notice me at all. There was such memory. It’s nostalgic.

[Rekomen 17 years]
Then, two years later this radio programme started and it has been 17 years. Chika-san also did it for 17 years. You grow old to uncle too. What about Necchi? You changed eyeglasses, right? (Yes I did). I am good at noticing such things~ You look totally different with these eyeglasses, it’s great.

[Shiyagare]
There’s something I want to tell the audience. I had a driving location filming with Kazama-pon in ARASHI ni Shiyagare. We went to Karuizawa. Please watch the programme. Whether Kazama-kun rode a motorcycle or a bicycle. (C: Or whether he rode in a sidecar) (giggle) I didn’t drive so I don’t know~

[First song tonight: A・RA・SHI]

[Mail: Would you choose clothes according to design or whether the clothes suit you]
- It’s difficult, I should be the latter.
- When I and Sho-chan have free time we’ll go shopping together. We’ll go to sportwear brands. And we’d say to each other “this suits you, right?”, actually this may not be the one I’d choose but if I am told that it’s good then I’d think “it’s good isn’t it?” and buy it. So is it actually good to have someone see the clothes for you?

[Mail: What do you do in flight?]
- I watch films. There are great lineups of films not yet on roadshow, right? so I watch them a lot. If the flight lands before the film comes to the end you’ll think about the ending, right? When you think about watching the rest during the return flight you may not be able to do so because it may be different flight. So though it’s difficult to do so, it’s better to calculate the time of journey (and choose a film that you could watch to the end during the flight).

[Mail: What should I gift to my boyfriend during our 1.5 year anniversary?]
- Isn’t it good to gift hand-written letter? Nowadays mail is popular isn’t it? A hand-written letter may give a better feeling. Some tangible things. Or a photo with a frame. You take a photo using mobile then get it printed and put it in frame for decoration. If you gift a hand-written letter you don’t spend much money. (C: Do you decorate your home with photos?) No. I put ARASHI’s photos in photo album and put them on bookshelf.

[Mail: Do you have any habit that you unconsciously do something?]
- When I am thinking about things it’s usually, like in convenience stores, when I pay and get change, I forget to bring the goods. And when I was noticed I thought “why am I paying but not getting goods?”. (C: Do you use point cards?) I do. (C: I collected the point card but forget to get the goods.) Me too.

[Mail: What is your favourite sushi?]
- Should be Maguro-type? Medium-fatty toro, akami. I like horse mackerel, sea urchin, egg,
- I like toro roll sushi the most. Usually it is toro minced with green onions but sometimes it’s not green onion but yellow pickled radish and I like that the most.
- I also like conger eel. But MatsuJun likes conger eel a lot, when ARASHI goes to have sushi I give conger eels to MatsuJun. All to MatsuJun. A little episode of ARASHI.

(Note: Few parts were skipped.)
