I really do think the member's opinions on Aiba were truthful (or maybe again I am taking a liking to their answers )

He really is a cheerful person, even I can feel it when I am watching their shows. It's quite impressive on that scale then.

^^

I find it entertaining that everyone seems to give really short, to the point answers...except for Sho...he seems to rant a bit, eh?

hahaha! i remember back when i was a new arashi fan, to get to know the members i watched all of their eyes with delight solos and aiba made a mistake and sho was like looking at him with a funny expression!

why is nino asnwering popularity to all his bandmates' 'what is that you envy' question?? i think he is rather popular as well ne?

Ohno: Don't walk around at the back stage in only underpants.
Please walk around on stage in ONLY underpants.

Ohno: He changes in many different colours. I feel so as watching him.
Sakurai: Yellow, nothing but vivid yellow, as vivid as piercing the eyes.
I have to agree with both. Aiba-chan has such a colorful personality that shines brightly.

Thank you for sharing this.

Our dear Aiba. So adorabley clueless at times.

it was fun to read this..
I loved these answers though..

4 Aiba's attractive point and weak point.
Ninomiya: Sometimes he pretends he can read the atmosphere even though he can't, that is his attractive point and weakness too. (kinda sweet, dont u think^^)
Matsumoto: Attractive point is his cheerful character, and weakness is being natural fool (laugh). (Aiba.. and Ohno.. are the biggest idiots in Arashi.. ^^)

5 What Aiba has and you don't, and what do you envy him at?
Matsumoto: Such a cheerful character, which I can't be. (Poor Jun-kun)

6 What do you want Aiba to improve?
Ohno: Don't walk around at the back stage in only underpants. (I wouldnt mind Aiba-chan walking around in underpants, unless he has been running... I have had bad experience when it comes to guys working out and see their underpants.. that's a view i can live without!!)

Sakurai: Don't reply to Cc mails by Cc mails. I always get confused to receive incoerent mails ex; 'I'd like sushi!' (I agree with Sho-kun.. After a while you get both pissed and confused when people does that!)

Matsumoto: Never being in the right place at concerts, and he always makes mistakes in very easy choreography..., which is funny though.
(I want to see Aiba's choreography mistakes..and laugh a bit ^^)

I never knew Aiba is a fast runner~ Wow!

Thanks for the article! There's still much for me to learn about Aiba kun .

2 What do you think is Aiba's most selling point as an actor?
Ninomiya: He can't do the same thing twice..., ah, I mean he DOESN'T do the same thing twice.
Ohno: Just the way he is.

I totally agree with Nino and Ohno's answer above, these are the main reasons why I like Aiba kun in the first place.
