Aiba-chan sipping tea? Uhm.. he doesn't strike me as the type that would "sit around and sip tea". I think he's more of a yakitori and beer kinda guy....

My eyes opened with”A”..

 

Since the variety show C no Arashi started, to Arashi it was a big encounter. From there, D no Arashi was born. My encounter with “A no Arashi” was also big. I would do some experiments and pull everybody else in. In doing variety, you cannot just get carried away and do things by yourself. You must know what each one is doing and you constantly learn from each other like: “Ah, this is another way of doing things”. For the first experiment, erm..what did we do? (Nino answers for him from the side) “ Probably it was the straw and follow(?) experiment.”  Ah… it was the experiment where we would try to drink juice from a very long straw from the top of a building. But they didn’t make it (A no arashi) on a regular basis. (Again Nino says from the sidelines): “ That’s cos there are a lot of rejected/botched experiments!” When I did the Origami Boat thing with Sho-chan, it was also great. Actually, along the way, there were rest stops here and there. They put fishing rods and onigiris for us to eat. Too bad it was all edited away. (laughs).  It was a bit worthless, but it was nevertheless a very alluring piece of work. And when the five of us got together after a long while to do the Ostrich Egg experiment, I was quite confident about that piece of work!! (Ahem!) Did everybody see it? ( I wonder if Nino was trying his best not to roll his eyes at this point….XD)

 

Thanks to my Senpais…

 

The guys from Tokio have brought me out for meals and golf games and I feel that I am very troublesome for them. I have acted with Nagase-kun in Mukudono and Tai-ichi-kun in Uso! Japan. I was together with Shigeru-kun for “Tanten homusocurusu”.  I had a meal with Tai-ichi-kun and we had a conversation where he told me various things.  I went surfing with Yamaguchi-kun and golfing with Matsu-ni (he calls Matsuoka Ni-chan!XD). Although I have not acted together with Matsuoka, I call him Matsu-ni! I am in awe that I can be able to address him in that way.  Be it at work or at leisure, I find that my encounters with Tokio are great!  I really am thankful. I hope to be able to learn more from them in the future.

 

The person who influenced me during my Junior days.

 

The person who had the greatest influence on me during my junior days was Takizawa-kun.  I would be having meals everyday with Takki.  I even went to Takki’s home and we took private home videos. We talked a lot about work and when we talked about our problems, we would be able to come up with accurate solutions.  He was like an older brother.  We also went wakeboarding many times. Recently, we have not met, we only speak occasionally on the phone. I really want to have a leisurely meal with him.  When the weather gets warmer, I want to go wakeboarding with him together…

UPDATE on my personal life :  job search...

I didn't get the job! I was really really disapointed when I heard the news cos I really wanted that job... Good thing is that, I still have another job offer waiting but I am not too hot about that... But I suppose u can't have everything in life... (yeah, like front row arena seats in an Arashi concert). At least i will have a job so I can earn some money for the Arashi summer concerts!!

Psyching myself...

Ganbaru sa! Makenai no sa!
Ashita no tameni kyou ga aru....  ~Arashi

Try your best! Do not lose!
For today exists because of Tomorrow... I believe there is a reason why I didn't get that job...
