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

This year too, I have a problem of having too much somen noodle left. I like somen and buy somen myself. And I have many business trips this year. (C: So you don’t have much time at home.) I made curry somen for myself. I like curry somen so made it after long time. I do training and my body has a lot of exercise, right? But I Just fried the curry and I got muscle pain. The place between the right thumb and right index finger, the place like the webbing, there was muscle pain for long time, because I have been frying onions. I fried lots of onion, I thought I’ve been doing it for an hour. Because I’ve been doing it, the next day I got muscle pain and I thought “it’s painful~”. But that was tasty.

According to the seasons, things we want to eat may change too.

(Chika-san bought Masaki hard pudding from convenient shop nearby) Thanks~ Can I have one? Even I invert it, it doesn’t fall. It doesn’t shake. It’s hard~ It’s good~ I shall start eating. It’s hard but it’s soft inside. It’s tasty. But the padding I talk about, the top of pudding is hard, right? It’s about five times harder than this (laugh). It’s hard to the extent that it’s resistant to the plastic spoon. It’s not juicy while it’s very tasty.

(C: 15 Sept, ARASHI Group Debut, 19 years.)

It’s 19 years, from now on we are starting our 20th year. We had our group debut on 15 Sept, while our CD debut was 3 Nov, so there is counting of anniversary from both these dates.

(C: So on 3 Nov ARASHI has completed 19 years and is in 20th year.)

In terms of this we basically count anniversary like this.

(C: When ARASHI enters 20th year, the dome tour starts.)

Right. Please support us.

(Mail: What does Aiba-san drink in café?)
Iced coffee. I also drink iced coffee today too.

(Mail: When you drink cream soda, do you mix them together?)
I don’t drink cream soda. I don’t order it. I don’t order cola float either. Though I order parfait, I don’t order cream soda. I order cola to drink cola, and I order ice cream separately.

(For choco cookie, there are people who only eat choco first then eat cookie). I am that one. For that black biscuit, I just peel off the cookie and eat it. I did it when I was small, I don’t do it anymore and when my younger brother does it I’m like “What are you doing~”.

(Mail: What is Aiba-kun’s mobile ringtone?)
Mine is vibration. Because there are incoming calls during filming or radio recording. Because men put the mobile in pockets, right? We may not be aware of that. But it’s better to be vibration than silence, right? If the mobile is turned silent, you don’t know any calls at all. At least turn on the vibration. Because there may be possibility of missing if one is unable to be contacted immediately during emergency.

I like talking over phone than sending mails. If the rally continues, I’ll be like “let me call you to talk”. There is rally coming right away, right? When it’s definitely faster to talk, I’ll call.

(Mail: In the sign of ARASHI in the Koshien Museum, who wrote “To Koshien Museum-san”?)
Leader wrote it.

(Mail: Would ARASHI call each other’s name without honorific title? Like “Ohno”, “Matsumoto”, “Aiba”?)
We don’t use honorific title in ARASHI. We call each other “Leader”, “MatsuJun”, “Nino-chan”. We don’t use “kun” or “chan”. The way we call each other doesn’t change. (C: Sakurai-kun?) I called him Sakurai-kun. (C: Did you call him Sa-chan?) No no no no. I called him Sakurai-kun. (C: Did you also call Matsumoto-kun Ma-chan?) No I don’t call him Ma-chan. Sorry, I don’t.

(Mail: Where would Aiba-san like to go when you go overseas?)
But it depends on purpose. City? New York? Or Hawaii? Island? Vacation? I can choose anywhere? Unexpectedly, Taiwanese cuisine is very tasty and Taiwan is near. Korea is good. Guam is surprisingly good too. They are near. Hawaii is the best. This is an era where there are lots of information where you can investigate. If you have any place where you want to go to now, it’s better that you go for this journey.

(Mail: What does Aiba-kun want to do definitely in your life from now on?)
I have thought about it recently. I want to do cruising journey, the very big cruiser. Riding on a big cruiser, and spending two to three months travelling around the world. I want to try that. There are streets in the cruiser, right? And there is pool. It’s great, right? I want to try that. And train journey is great, too. There are such journeys in Japan too, like “Seven Stars”, right? I want to try spending my days all along in the train and travelling by this. (C: So let’s make it an anniversary project of this radio programme) Definitely impossible. I think it’s definitely impossible. Maybe possible for a three-day journey.

Remark: This was O.A. on 15 Sept, the day ARASHI had group debut. So I translate it as a little gift to ARASHI. Thanks a lot ARASHI and congratulations.
