Aiba: Sho-chan’s dance, I’ve been watching over it backstage. In love with each other~ *Green Heart*
Sakurai: In this month we’re in the same age. It’s like Tanabata~ Amore among amore~
Q1: TV Guide covers are mounted on wall. Among them there is one ARASHI member and who is this? We unveil and please find him within three seconds!
Aiba: I know! I know!
Sakurai: I know! Let’s answer together~
Answer: Nino~!
Q2: In cold morning, what soup does Sakurai-san want to have as breakfast?
Aiba: Minestrone!
Sakurai: It’s simple!
Epilogue: On the contrary, what soup does Aiba-san want to have?
SA: (Point to wakame seaweed soup)
A: Correct~!
ARASHI knows ARASHI well. The two who answer all questions correctly are happy!
During the photo-searching contest in Q1, just by listening to the rule Aiba-san said “I know the answer” indeed he is full of member-ai. As for the question about Sakurai-san’s favourite soup, once Sakurai-san entered the filming site he said “It’s simple” with a composed smile. “It can’t be another answer” he showed his absolute trust towards Aiba-san.
Sakurai: The soup that I want to have, I think Aiba-kun knows the answer. I drink minestrone a lot.
Aiba: Right. I have confidence on this!
S: On the contrary Aiba-kun’s favourite soup is…
A: You’ve got the answer.
S: But there was clam chowder so I was hesitated. You like clam chowder don’t you?
A: Yes yes.
S: Right? I have an image that you have it a lot. But within these 4 choices the answer should be wakame seaweed soup.
A: I also like wakame seaweed soup a lot.
S: It’s like Chinese cuisine (giggle)?
A: No no, I am not that obsessed with Chinese cuisine! I like Chinese cuisine just like everyone does (giggle).
S: (Giggle). During the rehearsal of live we had soup, so we know the answer. Though I have favoured minestrone all along.
A: Right. So next the question about cover photo. I also knew that at once, the answer is Nino. I’m already familiar with [his face].
S: [His face] just popped into my eyes at once. It’s like something from the direction of Nino dashing in (giggle).
A: Ahaha, right so.
– So about the contest this time.
S: It’s already the fourth time for Urawa Red Diamonds team to be our guest team! Every year they appear in this period of time.
A: It’s splendid. They have a strong image.
S: Though I want to win this year, there is soccer game.
A: Soccer contest?
S: When it comes to soccer, there is no chance for us to win.
A: When the guest team is soccer players, it’s weird to have soccer game right (giggle). Well, though we have Sho-chan on our side.
S: Well for that, though I’ve said to all ARASHI members, I haven’t played soccer for around 20 years (since school activity club). It’s like Aiba-san’s basketball. Whatever activity club I was in, it doesn’t matter anymore (giggle).
A: Indeed. Right so.
– I see (giggle). By the way this interview is to be issued on 25 January…
A: Sho-chan’s birthday.
S: That’s it, from Aiba-kun’s birthday, until my birthday, we’re in the same age right? But it’s just slightly one month and then I’ll be one year older, I think it’s lonely (giggle).
A: Right~.
S: We are same-age combination in that one month.
A: We’re both born in 1982 but we’re only in the same age in one month.
S: It’s like Tanabata [Star Festival].
A: I look forward to next year, that one month (giggle).
S: So speaking Aiba-kun’s birthday…
A: I received (the birthday blessing), from group mail. And the day before, 23 December, we were together at “Music Station”…
S: Once it came to 24 December everyone congratulated [Aiba-kun’s birthday]. However, I haven’t given my present. On that day everyone was scattered. Aiba-kun’s birthday is always late. Year end is clattering, on new year day I go back to my hometown to meet my relatives, this year we also have live. Oh yes, the chocolate cake we had at Fukkuoka was delicious!
A: Yes! We had a “reunion” with the cake after long time. We had it before.
S: Around two, three years ago. The eventer-san at Fukkuoka prepared it for us.
A: It was delicious, from then onwards ARASHI starts eating sweets.
S: And the closing party was fun too. All staff, Jr. and the band joined. We also played game like bingo.
A: It was fun~.
S: Aiba-kun was taking photos all along. But I was also there. Take a photo of what happened in front of me and send it, but I basically have no motivation to watch it again (giggle).
A: It’s memory (giggle).
S: However, Aiba-kun during concert was excellent. I think there are barely people in their mid-30s who would think like “OK, let’s do head spin!” (giggle). You did great on that.
A: No no. Sho-chan also had a lot of splendid points. The dance during the interlude of your solo, I watched it every time at backstage. No, I watched over it.
S: For me, while I danced I thought that you must be watching me.
A: In love with each other~!
S: Amore among amore (giggle).
