gomen for posting it here, i don't know where to post it,, gomen..




NINO:

"I want to be kind with women. But, when i'm out eating with my female friends, I'll treat both her and the shop owner the same way, so i get told things like "you'd be kind to anyone." Being too equal with women might just be my downfall. (laughs)"
Kindness that might support Aiba's testimony. So what does the man who doesnt seem to have an interest in love care about?
"I dont mind if i'm spoken badly of or made out to be a fool, but that just might be the one true strength I do have. I've thought that for a long time now."
That, I wonder if its because of when youre acting.
"Its all the time. For example, say i was asked to pick out 10 things i liked out of a random collection of 100 things. Would i pick 10 things in various groups or pick 10 all from the same category? I think i'm the latter. Or more simply, as long as theres something there that i can firmly like, I just think its ok to have something you're not so good with."
You show genius in so many different areas, but you're saying you believe you're clumsy with yourself.
"Yea thats right. No matter how for sure a thing it is, there are times when falls apart. Just, if my usual A breaks, going to B is, at least for me, not right. If I'm using A, I want to keep using A. Being so picky about things like that is my awkwardness I guess."




AIBA:

"What i'm thinking of might be considered common sense for people. I'm really not that good at getting to know people i've only just met. Rather, I'm usually thinking i'd rather they make the first move. (laughs)"
Aiba who seems like he can open up to anyone, his surprising secret has come to the surface. But, still has a very soothing atmosphere to him, just like Ninomiya-san was saying.
"If you meet with someone, you'll have to part eventually. Even something like today's interview, todays the first time we've met and worked together, but this may also be the last time we meet too. I've always been thinking thats really an amazing thing. So because of that, i want to enjoy our time together while it lasts."
He can be seen as a spontaneous guy, but his natural gift also a grasps things intuitively. However, even for that part of him, there are some things he cant grasp well.
"A woman's heart is difficult, isnt it. So, I often just dont think about it much. I'm scared if i think too much about it it'll backfire on me. I really dont understand stuff like the difference between love and passion or imagine such a thing as selfless love. But if its not limited to romantic love, at least for me, I think theres actually a lot of selfless love out there. Like sports for example. When you watch a really good game, it doesnt matter whether they win or lose, its all okay. I think you can cast those feelings into love, but maybe not. Wont someone who knows please explain it to me. (laughs)"




The upcoming reality of a five dome tour tells of Arashi's popularity. "Even if we were causing a ruckus last year with 'its coming its coming', 'to be honest we really didnt feel it' ", but so saying they're heating up again this year. As a celebrity, do you feel your 'popular'-ness everyday?

Ninomiya - I say myself that "we're so popular", and I do just as i say. (laughs) But with the '5 big dome' thing, being able to stick the 'big' on there is pretty cool of us, Arashi. (laughs)
Aiba - Thats right! The fact that the concert arenas are getting bigger and bigger is definitely a pleasing thing. But if thats being 'popular/ƒ‚ƒe‚é' or not, I'm really not sure. Also, whats 'popular/ƒ‚ƒe‚é' anyhow? Being told "I like, like you! Go out with me!"?
Ninomiya - For me, "popular/ƒ‚ƒe‚é=being liked by the people i like". Being liked by just anyone is only "popularity/�l‹C" right?
Aiba - Are you working hard to be popular/ƒ‚ƒe‚é?
Ninomiya - No way, even if i didnt do anything i'd still be popular/ƒ‚ƒe‚é you know. (laughs) Aiba-kun is a popular/�l‹C person. Most of the people i know call him "funny", but not "cool". (laughs)
Aiba - Thats upsetting, I wonder why, ne.
Ninomiya - Probably because you can talk to people so easily. And youre really kind. You have that American-ish love for your family too, even if youre from Chiba.
Aiba - I do love my family.
Ninomiya - See, wasnt that very American just now, that phrase. (laughs) He never had a rebellious age, so not only with girls, but hes normally kind by nature. Its like he works as hard as he can to make it fun for the guests on our show or people hes just met, so that they can say that they really did have fun when it's all over and done.
Aiba - Nino is kind as well. I think of his messing with you when you want to be messed with as his kindness. We often have fun together, but I'm always so pushy with how i invite people out. I ask like "you'll go tomorrow?", but its half forced.
Ninomiya - You say it more like, "You'll go tomorrow!", and its decided.
Aiba - Heheheh. (laughs)
Ninomiya - You aren't really aware of others too much. But, we both understand each other well. If i told him "hey lend me that thing", he'd probably pull out the thing i was thinking of and lend me it. And I'd do the same for him.
Aiba - Because we've been together for 11 years now right? We could both become pretty decent managers for each other. (laughs) "Dont you just want to take on the world together with friends bound together like that?" If we get overly upset over whether we win or lose, I feel like i'd lose sight of why we're doing it. From now on, I'll do as much as i can with all my might, even if we collide its ok! Even if we're popular or not, whats cool is not worrying about it. That's today's conclusion!
