arashitranslationIn terms of work, to continue doing something, to have such ambition to continue doing something is important, to be able to dwell in it has its own meaning. However this is what I can say now, because at first we didn’t think so. The meaning of continue doing something is therefore, to ARASHI, what we feel as the result of our having persisted our work. The other four members must think the same isn’t it. ARASHI does not work for the purpose of continuing the group, but as a result, we have continued as a group. This is really splendid.
Of course in these 18 years there were various things. I myself, when in difficulty, when having overcome something, in bitterness, perhaps I speak it out, but I don’t keep it in my heart. For instance the action scene during acting, or to take a difficult challenge… But such things are necessary for acting, they are not the targets I want to achieve. I do something in order to look cool, but the result was not like that and it was bitter… everyone may have such worry though (giggle), that is not that. By all means this is the work I like to do, so I continue doing it, and because I have reason to continue doing it so I do it. For us, because there are people who say they want to see us so we exist, I am always grateful towards this. Our activities are widened because there are voices saying they want to see us too.
Speaking of members, Sho-kun has continued his caster duty at “NEWS ZERO” for more than 10 years. And on top of that, he also worked on the caster work of the special programme on election and Olympics, there are also time that we watch the programme because Sho-kun works as caster in that, with that we also attain more knowledge in various aspects. In case ARASHI has an intellectual image, Sho-kun should be thanked because he continued this work. Speaking of the filming site of variety programme, because Nino is here we can enjoy the “live-ness”. How to say… In programme there are arranged framework, Nino would say something bit different from that taste, and go into a different plot. By doing that a new direction may be discovered, it is interesting. Nino is not directed to do that, he just does so naturally so everyone thinks “Interesting!”. If ARASHI is commented “interesting”, I think one of the reasons is this. I think that there is also thing like mutual effect among members. For instance as for dancing, of course I like dancing so I dance, but I think about “dancing” because Leader is here. Because the oldest member is still dancing vividly, I don’t think about suppressing myself too, because Leader dances, everyone dances, perhaps there is such stance too. Leader also designs choreography for us, this is one motivation for me to continue dancing. Aiba-kun’s brightness is really precious in ARASHI. Aiba-kun just being here and the temperature of the site will increase one degree. But he doesn’t do it purposefully, I think, it’s just his character is so bright. Even you want to make such atmosphere you are not able to make it, this is his personality established through having continued such brightness, isn’t it.
Therefore, rather than being trapped in “having to continue doing it”, I would be thankful to things I continue to do, from that I search for meaning, I would think in this way. I think ARASHI can still change a lot, we would like to change, and we ought to change. I think our work is to expose ourselves to public view and then something will happen, because of this I think about how we can express ourselves. After that indeed, I want to stay healthy psychologically and physically. That is the foundation of everything.
