Aoki: This is bit scattered. Aiba-san got two votes.
N: I chose Aiba-san. Indeed, things like, he lives his life decidedly with a goal.
A: Ah~ (giggle)
M: I understand I understand. I probably would say similar thing. Recently, he gets up early and have plenty of physical exercise, Aiba-kun.
A: Indeed.
M: He says he is doing physical exercises in the morning. Therefore when I meet him at the workplace he looks refreshingly smart.
A: Indeed.
Aoki: In the past, in this corner he also said that before live, he would enter the workplace earlier and have stretching exercise.
A: Ah, I did it.
Aoki: With such feeling, you get up early.
N: Getting up early in the morning is also the case. Well, I think that he is the person among us who feels the seasons most.
A: Food, I eat seasonal food. During mid-year indeed I also want to give them gifts. Things like that, seasonal? What is it called?
Aoki: Poem reminding us of particular season.
A: I like doing such things. Yes.
M: Recently during live, he brought us grated yam. He brought such big Japanese yam. “Everyone please eat this and then you’ll get genki” he said.
Aoki: Ahahaha!
A: I was like an old man (giggle)
S: I just had a chocolate cake and then he fed me Japanese yam.
A: (Laugh) Well…
N: You ate it, you ate it…
A: I go to various places, for location filming, I receive the food, and then people at these places say “please give these food to ARASHI members”. So indeed I have to bring them to you all.
N: He gives me an image that he does a lot such things. Therefore, he is a person who lives decidedly.

Aoki: Aiba-san chose Sakurai-san.
S: Thanks.
A: Yes. Recently, during Shimura Doubutsuen, we had a 3-hour Special programme. I hurriedly, hurriedly acted as substitute of Yamase-san for her work. I thought it at time, Sho-san was doing this all the time, right?
S: Ah.
A: I thought that it’s cool.
S: Ah... (giggle)
A: Things like... (giggle)
S: You mean work like proceeding the programme?
A: Proceed the programme. Well according to time you make sure all corners are proceeded during filming, and you well make sure everyone appearing in the programme talk.
S: Thank you. But, it was Aiba-san who was doing this during the programme? Proceeding the programme.
A: No, well, I wasn’t doing it skillfully. It was different from what I was thinking. At that time I had a stronger feeling about his being cool on proceeding the programme.
Aoki: You once again felt the greatness of Sakurai-san.
A: Greatness. Yup, he was greeat.
S: Greeat? (giggle)
A: (Giggle)

Aoki: Sakurai-san chose Ninomiya-san.
S: This, indeed, especially his appearance during “Last Recipe” completion preview probably. (Nino was smiling cutely) There were prominent actors during the event, he was in the middle of them, and he looked grand and dignified, indeed he was cool. Somehow he was like a grown-up. I thought so even when watching the CM! … Well, making such compliments to each other is weird though (giggle).
Aoki: This is good! Sakurai-san!
S: Really? (giggle)
N: Thank you.

Aoki: And then, Ohno-san chose Matsumoto-san.
O: Yes. Well, he became cool.
All: (Laugh)
S: Ahaha Recently is there anything cool?
N: Recently.
O: He has been cool all along, I think.
S: AHAHAHA!
Aoki: Is there anything in particular you recently thought him being cool?
O: Recently he bit has his hair cut, I thought it’s cool.
M: No. (giggle)
O: Eh?
M: You were blank about your choice!
O: No no no.
M: Absolutely no reason for your choice.
O: For instance, ne? Even there is mistake during “THIS IS MJ”, he looks cool.
Aoki: No matter what he does he looks like a painting.
O: Yes! In that sense all things about him is cool to me! It’s splendid.
Aoki: You feel so from the past?
O: In the past, he was kawaii. (M smiled shyly)
Aoki: What about now?
O: No he is cool. (M smiled shyly)

N: Rather than your answer, what I’m concerned most is that the question about people with aura and the question about people being cool, Ohno-san you don’t get one vote, I am surprised, now.
O: I am not cool at all!
Aoki: No no.
A: This isn’t the case.
All: Johnny PON!

M: I do, I do.
Aoki: There are various actor friends too.
N: There are.
A: He knows various places for gourmet, seems he’s living a joyful life.
Aoki: You simply are admiring him?
A: Um, really, really, to tell the truth, anyone apart from Sho-san will be fine.
S: Oi! Stop this!
A: No no, sorry sorry.
S: What is it about!?
A: Sho-san’s schedule is closely packed with minute and second as unit.
M: Very detailed.
A: I think it’s tiring, isn’t it? On the contrary I worry about him.
S: I recently is tired.
A: Tired, isn’t it?
N: Finally.

Aoki: You two also chose Matsumoto-san.
N: Well, as for concert, we all members attend the preparatory meeting, there is preparatory meeting slightly before the song list is decided, there is such meeting. At the first preparatory meeting, I am not idea at all what they are talking about. Only that person has the set in his head.
Aoki: But do you have a feeling of wanting to do that staging?
N: No, so I want to see, the set in his head.
Aoki: Ah, you want to become Matsumoto-san.
N: Of course, though the most important is to study the set, since I don’t want to study it, I want to suddenly become him, I want to read his mind.

O: Even now he is so, things like, everytime he does new thing. For instance, things like, restriction on diet suddenly. And, suddenly starting to drink several litres of water.
M: I did.
A: His lifestyle is interesting.
O: Interesting.
A: Indeed so.
O: Because he does various things…
N: Stoic.
O: He is stoic, I want to become such MatsuJun.

S: I chose Aiba-san. Recently, for the first time, I had studio filming for Shimura Doubutsuen.
A: Yes yes.
S: Indeed Aiba Masaki is splendid, I think. He can communicate with tiger. He has a feeling of connectedness and mutual understanding with a variety of animals and this feeling is indeed great. He’s like the Mutsugoro-san (Hata Masanori-san) of Johnny’s.
A: To some zoos, I could visit like using my face as pass. I am grateful about this.

M: I chose Ohno-san. Indeed, undoubtedly, his flow of time is different from mine. In the green room, I listen to songs or do this and that, basically it’s often that I am in front of Leader, we sit face to face.
O: Oh, indeed.
A: Right so.
M: While we sit face to face, he really doesn’t move at all. At that time what he is thinking, I very much want to know.
S: Lately, during the magazine interview, we five had interview together, in green room, at that time, you didn’t move at all, right?
N: Were you think about something? I thought you were thinking about something so didn’t say a word.
S: When I said “Ohno-san, what do you think?”, you answered “Eh?” (All laugh) Your time stopped?
O: It stops.
S: It stops.
O: Then I also want to become myself.
All: Johnny PON!
