i posted this on nino, ohno, and sho's section. big grin

i shall post one in Jun's later ;p

anyway. first impression.

well, i didnt really notice him that much. but when i heard him in Sakura Sake PV, i loved his voice, and he had a special place in my ranking with ohno as well smile

i started to learn about him more in Arashi no shukudai kun, and absolutely LOVED him with kodomo no bagohan, and how he handles the kids Heart

i cant believe i didnt notice aiba at first WTH

i looove Aiba :>

Sadly, my first impression of Aiba was lost in my love for Nino.... And then my love for Ohno..... but then I started watching their variety shows and I REALLY noticed Aiba when they did that silly game on ep. 13 of ANS-k (the christmas one).. It was seeing Aiba in a reindeer costume with a nipple-less t-shirt doing the otaku dance and then screaming "hazukashiiiii" when the buff man made him do the pee-pee thing (which i only slightly get the reference to. but get the embarrassment XD). I kept thinking aiba- you brought this upon yourself!!

Then I started watching D no Arashi, G no Arashi, and Mago Mago Arashi and A no Arashi was the best thing ever. Oh Aiba, you're so silly.

But yes, it was the nipple-less reindeer otaku dance that opened my eyes to Aiba-love smile

when i first saw him, it was with his short short hair. and i was like.. cute face.. but that hair!!
then i went on to watch shows and i was like OMG KAWAII! and started going all fangirl over him. he looked so sweet, and looked like he could never do any wrong XD
then my friend pointed out that we have the same personality almost, so that was pretty weird WTH

I totally had no idea who Aiba was when I started getting into Arashi.

Actually, when I first got into Arashi, I knew them as MatsuJun, the guy from StandUp! and the rest haha.

But even after that, Aiba was the last one I was able to remember. The thing that made me recognize him more easily was his voice. I totally fell in love with it. His voice is just so...nice to hear haha.

Sadly, I didn't even really take notice of Aiba when I saw him in Mukodono & I thought he was kinda old & ugly when I saw him in the Wish PV. But after watching some old ARASHI videos & shows I started to think Aiba was rather funny/adorable in A no ARASHI.

I started out as jun-bait like most XD So at first I didn't really notice Aiba at all... Finally noticed him a bit while watching PIKA*NCHI (who else thought his girl friend in that was a bit scary?) then the first time I watched A no Arashi and then he became my favorite. *lol* I think it's the inner science nerd in me, even if we can't really call A no Arashi real science. Then again, a question is asked, an experiment is performed, and a conclusion is stated - how is it not science? XD

I love his fascination with dry ice. Although I must say, the starch syrup stuff doesn't hold my interest much.

Aiba.. He was among the last of Arashi I knew.. Isaw him in some Sakuraiba fanvid..lol
It was just pictures, soo I was like "Ohhh... so this is Aiba..".. ( cause by that time the last two mysterious ppl to me were Aiba and Riida XD)
I usually don't trust my own first impression of a person ( plus I was blinded by Sho and Matsujun..hehe)... so I don't really care what I had in mind and just ditched it .. but the first moment I saw him I knew he was the tallest~ so that was pretty much it..

ha~ now I'm just wishing there are more history to it...

I didn't notice him one way or the other right away. Then I read about each of them (within a few days of learning about the band) and found out about his love for animals. I am a huge animal lover, involved in animal rescue, and animal rights. So finding that out I immediately loved him. Because of this I started watching youtube clips about him. The more I saw him, the more adorable I thought he was. I feel he is just so sweet, loving, caring, and adorable.

i thought his eyes were too small, his hair was too long and curly and orange (this was a long time ago...), and his laugh was annoying.

his laugh is still annoying, but i love his sense of humor =D

ah, i totally ignored Aiba Masaki when I first got interested in Arashi. I thought, "he's just a part of this group". But now, he's one of my so-called-favorite eh. I think he's one of the truest eprson in this group.

My first impression of Aiba...well I wikied him up and I thought he looked like a Lion (maybe a fitting description?)

but anyways after listening to their music, watching PVs and of course random videos...Aiba became the guy who used English to the limit in love

I won't go into how he became my ichiban but I was quite confused between him and Jun (as I am a Jun-bait)

anyways, I wish they would really change his picture on Wiki...I don't like it at all!

Yeah in PIKA*NCHI...that girl he met in harajuku that did cosplay lolita kinda? Who said his cellphone charm is cute. And then he spent the rest of the movie trying to get into university for her. That is, if I remember correctly ^^;

@Luwesa
I liked that hair of his Wohoo!

@Saaraneth but it made him look like a girl! and the girlfriend in Pikanchi acted sorta badly in my opinion... i was so glad when aiba found out the truth about her and they broke up. lol.
