Como siempre las fans de ARASHI estamos en todas y pues ya arreglaron los logos del próximo concierto de ARASHI - The Digitalian. Están totalmente geniales y definitivamente el logo del príncipe llegó para no dejarnos pero se adapta a todos los estilos del concierto de ARASHI. 

La página hermana de Ninolandia On, tradujo parte del CM de ARASHi ni Shiyagare SP donde se le pregunta a Nino acerca de su día libre. A continuación la traducción.

[Pic-preview] Avance del Arashi ni Shiyagare HAWAII SP parte 1

Por qué se ve a Nino encerrado en su habitación del hotel en Hawaii?

Eso es porque, Nino tuvo que usar su único día libre para aprenderse el script para su drama sp que tenía que grabar al regresar a Japón.

La respuesta es triste, pero eso lo hace ver como un actor muy profesional :')
Recordemos que según Riida en una última entrevista Nino quería ir con Jun y Ohno a bucear con ellos pero no podía broncearse porque debía grabar luego para el drama SP. 

Nuestra página hermana de Junbait Palace tambien tradujo parte de la conversación de Jun y Satoshi en la revista TV Guide. Acá nos muestran su emoción y nerviosismo por el concierto de The Digitalian. Sobretodo vemos que tan envuelto y tan personal será este concierto para ARASHI. Contando los días para el inicio del tour.

Gracias a las hermanas de Junbait Palace por siempre mantenernos al día de lo que dicen de nuestro querido J. Waaa el ARASHI love se siente tan fuerte entre ellos.

2014.10.31 AD - Of sleeplessness, staring and Sammy.[BGM ‘Zero-G’] 

Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi.
Every Friday I respond to the messages received on this show.

First up is one from Arisa-san.
"Ohno-san, good morning. Yesterday I ate ramen at my family’s. 2860 yen. With your favour please!"

I’ll be awaiting your receipt! (laughs)

Next, from Anko-san. 
"Good morning, Satoshi-kun. When I can’t sleep, listening to people’s voices gives me the peace of mind so that I can sleep. But as you’d expect, there aren’t any people talking in the middle of the night so I often listen to the secret talks included in Arashi CDS. I can fall asleep immediately with those, so I love them but I’ve listened to them so much that I’m getting tired of them. Ohno-kun, when you can’t sleep, do you get up and do something? If you have any good tips, please share them."

Of course you’d get tired of them! (laughs) If you listen to them endlessly, you’d end up memorising them. 

I rarely have times where I can’t sleep. It only happens once or twice a year, really. At those times, um, I’d be in bed, right? I’d be facing up. And then, I’d imagine that I was gradually sinking into the middle my bed. Then as I gradually sink into it, I’d gradually be on the underside of it. Then I’d go beyond the bottom of my house. Into the earth. Gradually… what’s that? It’d be like sinking in the middle of Japan. By doing that, I’d fall asleep. By imagining that sort of thing, I’d be able to sleep. Mm.

But I rarely have times when I can’t sleep. I’d definitely be able to fall asleep. Well, it’s kinda… Anko-san. Try that out sometime when you can’t sleep.

Right, next from Sora-san.
"Oh-chan, morning! I’m currently in dental hygienist school. Since I’m always studying teeth, I have a habit of gazing at teeth whenever I see actors or talents on TV. I’ve also taken a long hard look at Oh-chan’s teeth. I look at teeth more than faces. What do you think about girls who look at teeth?" 

Well, that’s an occupational hazard, huh? Your eyes just naturally get drawn to it. Mm. But well, it’s fine, isn’t it? But well, on the other hand, wouldn’t people not like Sora-san looking? If your companion, for example, a friend… well, it could be a guy that you have a crush on as well. If you were having a meal with your crush and then you just kept looking at his teeth, what would he think?

That’s probably the thing. Hmm. But it’s probably embarrassing having people looking at your mouth. If you looked at their mouth instead of their eyes while talking, they’d probably wonder if you were following the conversation or not.

[BGM ‘Imaging Crazy’] 

It’d be disconcerting if you looked down (while talking to someone). Well, I guess they might understand. But it’s best to keep your staring to the TV, right?

So really, if this happens with actual friends where you just stared at their teeth, your companion would probably be like, "Eh, do I have something in my teeth?" So I think you’d better keep a good balance of looking at that area.

Right, next. From Fujita-san.
"Ohno-kun, good morning. This is out of the blue, but I’m getting married on 1st November. Today is the last day I’ll be spending under my surname ‘Fujita’. Though in the past I’d dream of changing my surname as I got married, today I’m feeling a surge of sadness. Ohno-kun, this sadness should be blown away. So finally, to commemorate, could you address me as ‘Fujita-san’? With your favour please."

Got it. 

Fujita-san! Fujita-san! (laughs) 

Let me change that a little. Fujita-san!

I went into 3 patterns there. 

Next, one from first-year middle schooler Shiyu-san of Yokohama.
"Good morning, Sammy."
(laughs) (That came up out of the blue, ‘Sammy’.)
"It’s out of the blue, but I have a request to make of Sammy. It’s almost time for the midterm exams but for a student like me with my mind so filled with Arashi that I can’t concentrate, I’d like the message below from Sammy."

Ohh. This is what Sammy should say, right?

Now how did Sammy go again? Well, I guess it was a little effeminate. Well, let’s just go with the flow.

Here goes!

Geez, what on earth are you doing? You guys, hurry up and study already! Study! If you get good marks, I’ll give you a special service. So look, do your bestest!

And so with that, the weekly Friday messages have been answered. I’ll be awaiting your mail. The address is arashi@fmyokohama.co.jp. I’ll be waiting for you to send me lots of messages.

See you next week; this was Sammy!

He turned into a granny…(laughs) 

Y la lista de goods para el concierto de ARASHI - "The Digitalian" ya han sido anunciados. Se mira una gran variedad de items. Sobretodo nos causa curiosidad la uchiwa con luces y el USB. Da penita que no habrá uchiwas individuales de los chicos.

2014.10.30 AD - Autumn scattered on one’s face.Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi.
Here’s today’s thought of the day; come on!

"Autumn colours scattered across one’s face."[1]

[BGM ‘Imaging Crazy’]

Hahh?

This is a metaphor that means when your face turns red out of embarrassment. Ohh. This is primarily used for women. This was sent in by listener ‘My letter to Ohno-kun is my journal’-san. This is the longest name so far, huh? The message reads:
"Ohno-kun, good morning. In the company that I work in, everyone just faces their desks silently; it’s a very quiet office. Yesterday, at work, my stomach suddenly growled. I hurriedly tried to cough and tap frantically at my calculator but I couldn’t cover it in time. Not only that, the sound from my stomach was so low that I don’t know if anyone mistook it for a fart. But I figured it would be even more suspect to excuse it. My face went bright red and all I could do was to silently continue working. Ohno-kun, have you ever had your stomach rumble at a quiet workplace and felt embarrassed by it?"

For me, now, I’ve had times where it rumbled, but I guess I never paid attention. It was like, yeah, it growled, so what? Ah, there have been times when it growled during quiet scenes in dramas, too. But when stuff that happens, it can’t be helped. You can’t suppress it. Rather than embarrassing, it just can’t be helped. 

So, well, um… on the contrary, trying to make excuses for it is more suspect. It might have been better if you did say something.

"I don’t know if anyone’s going to take it the wrong way, but you’re mistaken!"

"My stomach’s growling. It sounds really low, but I’ll be troubled if you mistake it for something else!" You should say that!

"If I were really farting, I wouldn’t say anything!" (laughs) It’s normally the other way around, though. You wouldn’t do something like that, normally. For women now, yeah. 

Whether you’re actually hungry or not, your stomach sometimes rumbles, right? Unexpectedly. So it rumbles quite a lot even after you’ve eaten. I don’t know, maybe it’s a sign that your guts are working so it rumbles. Whichever it is, it still rumbles. So that’s fine, don’t worry about it.

"So what about you all?" That’s what it’d be like. (laughs) Yeah, so if you’re concerned about it, it’ll growl. It’ll definitely growl. It’s better to pay no attention to it. At times when you’re concerned about it, it growls, right? Like when you’re like "it’s gonna growl it’s gonna growl it’s gonna growl!", it actually does. 

So well, best not to pay any attention to it. Just relax and do your work!

That’s all; this was Ohno Satoshi!

2014.10.29 AD - Becoming a true artist.
Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi.
Here’s today’s thought of the day; come on!

"If only Heaven would grant me ten more years… no, just five more years of life, then I could become a true artist."[1]

[BGM ‘Imaging Crazy’]

Oh. That’s an amazing quote.
This is a quote by the late Edo period ukiyo-e artist who created Red Fujiand the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, Katsushika Hokusai-san. He continued to work until his last years, almost to the age of 90 and this was something he said before he died.

Oh. This was sent in by listener Cosmos-san. The message reads:
"I was surprised to learn that Hokusai said, 'All I have drawn before the age of seventy is not worth bothering with'. After I saw Hokusai’s ‘Red Fuji’ at an exhibition, on Arashi ni Shiyagare, when Oh-chan became Chief Sugi-chan, I saw that one of the props was a hanging scroll with ‘Red Fuji’ on it. The ‘Red Fuji’, the dangling forelock over Chief Sugi-chan’s face and those famous words; those three things were scorched into my mind as a set.”[2]

What happened again? I was so desperately caught up in that I have no clue. 

Heh, seriously… It’s incredible, huh? To be drawing right up until you pass from this world… That sort of spirit is naturally pretty hard to come by, I think. Mm. But honestly, if I went back to the Edo period, I’d probably be drawing the whole time. Mm.

What? I said something cool there, involuntarily. Sorry about that. 

Man, but that sort of mindset, right, it’s like people back then… Like Itō Jakuchū was like that too. Seriously, without working at all, they were just at home painting all the time, right?

Mm. That’d be intensely enjoyable, wouldn’t it? And then people back then didn’t have photos or anything, right? Despite that… For instance, like animals, well, same goes for people. Well, same goes for people, but they drew them really realistically, didn’t they? 

Like in Paris, there are a ton of oil paintings of portraits and boats and stuff. You can look at boats while painting them. But portraits and stuff, there are pictures of them in motion, right? They’re incredibly realistic. How do they do it? Their powers of observation must be amazing, I think. In a period where there were no photographs, they were able to paint to that extent. MM. 

So often for that sort of thing, when I go to see all sorts of paintings and stuff, I often think that sort of thing.

So yeah, as for me, I have no idea what age I’ll be drawing until, but I know it’ll be something I’ll keep doing. Even when I become an old man, I’ll still keep drawing. I’m curious as to what sort of pictures I’ll be drawing as an old man. 

Well, with that day in mind, I’ll keep drawing all sorts of things.

Perhaps I, too, shall try to become a true artist. (snorts)

That’s all; this was Ohno Satoshi! .

Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi.
Here’s today’s thought of the day; come on!

[in English] “There’s no accounting for taste.”

[BGM ‘Imaging Crazy’]

Sorry, went a bit overboard with the expression there at the end. 
This is an English saying that means that hobbies and preferences can’t be explained and that people’s tastes vary. In Japanese, an equivalent expression would be: 'Even the worms that eat knotweed have their preferences.'[1]

Ohh. This was sent in by listener Chime-san. The message reads:
"Satoshi-kun, good morning. The other day, my son violently asserted that "Meat and potato stew doesn’t need green peas!" When I told him that meat and potato stew looks tastier with green in it, he was unyielding and said, 'Meat and potato stew doesn't need green in it!' It’s not even that he hates green peas; he just doesn’t seem to approve of them in meat and potato stew. Satoshi-kun, are there dishes where you don’t approve of having a certain thing in them?”

Ahh, of course. That happens, right? For all sorts of things. Then you should say, "Then make it yourself!" once and see. (laughs) Try saying that once, I can’t help thinking. 

But man, I understand. But I can understand your son doing that. I mean, everyone has that, right?

In my case, it’s pineapples and stuff in sweet-and-sour pork. It’s not that I particularly hate it. It’s more like if you could leave it off, then it’s fine without. 

So well, same goes for any hot food. Adding fruits to those, now, it’s not really… I can’t really imagine using chopsticks to poke at those. Mm.

And then since a long time ago, it’s not that I don’t approve of it but the carrots on the side of hamburger steaks? That’s just overdoing it.

Like, those are sweet, right? Um, like the sweetness of carrots is kinda conflicting. It’s not that I wouldn’t eat them at all. Raw carrots, like vegetable sticks and all, I’d eat those. They don’t really taste sweet. They’re crispy and all, it’s great, I like that sort of texture. 

But when you simmer those until they’re soft and mixed with that sweetness, it’s kinda… like… "Ah, you went that far?"

It’s like, it’s different to the image of sweetness you get from its orange colour. Until now, I don’t eat them. In general, I eat everything, though. It’s just that I don’t really like them. 

It’s just that, if I hadn’t eaten for 3 days and then you were to put a hamburger steak with a large side of carrots before me, I’d eat them. So Ican eat them. 

What I wanted to say was precisely that. Yeah.

'There's no accounting for taste!' (laughs)

That’s all; this was Ohno Satoshi!

Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi.
Here’s today’s thought of the day; come on!

"The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face."[1]

[BGM ‘Imaging Crazy’]

It’s been a while for the quotes of the day, huh? And I assumed a weird character without even realising it. 

This is a quote from the 19th century English novelist, William Thackeray-san. If you have a positive attitude, everything will be reflected in your eyes with positivity. With a negative mood, everything in the world will seem negative. How are you looking at the world right now?

This quote was sent in by listener Ecchan. The message reads:
"Speaking of mirrors, I’ve always wondered. Satoshi-kun, when you’re coming up with choreography for stuff, do you look into a mirror? What sort of places do you often look at?"

Ohh. Mirrors, huh? Firstly, I’ll have the image in my head. Um, I don’t look at a mirror yet. So when I look in the mirror to see whether I’m dancing what was in my head, often it’s quite different from the image in my head. It comes as a shock. (laughs) And then I don’t really dance right in front of the mirror. I’d usually dance quite a distance from it. If I’m too close, I can’t really tell if it’s good or bad.

Well, for concerts and stuff, there aren’t any members of the audience who’d be that close. So I’d be dancing at about that distance away from the mirror. 

So the other day, well, right now, that’s right… We’re in the midst of rehearsals doing the choreography. So I’m doing some for other songs besides ‘Zero-G’.

Um… Until now, whenever I do choreography and stuff, when I’m done, I’ve never had to film it or anything. I can remember it myself just fine. So I’ve always been able to remember them, but I filmed it once on my phone. I set it up, pressed start and had the music playing while I did it. So I filmed one song. And then when I wanted to watch it, I don’t know why but it cut off at about a minute in. 'Eh??' And I’d danced my heart out there! So apparently I’d had the settings wrong or something. So I tried again.

Somehow… I felt kinda embarrassed so I went home to watch it. There were parts I wasn’t happy with, personally. So I figured I’d change those. So then I pressed ‘play’ and my phone had filmed it right to the end. Then when the dance had ended, like, I had this disagreeable look on my face. I was wiping off my sweat while walking up to my phone. That was embarrassing!

I was so embarrassed for myself. That was raw, right? That was rawest thing ever. And then like, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. That squirming was great. It was funny. Yeah. Like at the parts I was confident of, I’d dance confidently. That was embarrassing too. 

It was like, "What the heck are you being so confident about?" (laughs) I couldn’t help thinking that. 

Well, I tried all sorts of things. Yeah. So for those of you coming to watch, you can imagine, 'So this is how Satoshi-kun did it; he filmed this choreography'. So that’s another way to enjoy the performance!

That’s all; this was Ohno Satoshi!

New promotional pictures with Nino and Aiba are now being display in Japan for Kirin Beer. I wonder what will it be to be there so close to these posters.

Nuevas fotos promocionales con Nino y Aiba estan siendo mostradas actualmente en Japón para la cerveza Kirin. Me pregunto que será tener esos posters tan cerca.

JAL has released the new posters of ARASHI for their airline. They look great and I really want to flight in JAL. What about you?
Han salido nuevos posters de ARASHI para la línea de vuelos JAL. Ellos se ven geniales y realmente te dan ganas de volar en JAL. ¿Ustedes que piensan?

Another proof that ARASHI are the biggest stars in Japan. Their presence was kept secret so the festival can prevent that their fans pack the location. I must say that they did a good job. Only ARASHI is able to make people do the impossible.

Otra prueba porque ARASHI son las estrellas más grandes de Japón. Su presencia se mantuvo en secreto para prevenir que sus fans llenansen el local. Debo de decir que hicieron un gran trabajo. Solamente ARASHI hace que la gente logré lo imposible.

arios corresponsales de medios de prensa extranjera asistieron a cubrir el 27th TIFF este 10/23.

Entre ellos se pueden resaltar estos que hablan de Arashi:

「Abe Shinzo, quién también mencionó la cultura del país denominada como "Cool Japan" y del turismo representada por los 5 integrantes de la banda de chicos, Arashi quiénes estaban vestidos como el Primer Ministro en finos y oscuros trajes sobre los que dijo: 

"Espero que algo de su popularidad se extienda al gobierno"」
(Variety site)

「Banda local de chicos Arashi -quienes han existido el tiempo suficiente ahora para calificar probablemente para ser llamados hombres - estaban allí como invitados especiales para declarar el festival abierto, su aparición se mantuvo en secreto para evitar que su legión de fans aglomere el lugar. Además son poseedores de numerosos álbumes de los más vendidos y giras en estadios, los cinco miembros han hecho la transición a la actuación, así como a presentadores de un programa de televisión semanal」 
(Hollywood Reporter) 


Como ARASHIANs es un orgullo que nuestros babies estén en la prensa internacional y sobretodo que el Primer Ministro de Japón diga que desea que "algo" de la popularidad pasé al Gobierno wooow osea Shokun Primer Ministro waaaaaa
