Thanks for sharing.

This makes me just want to hug him. This is so touching; Ohno is so sweet!

I remember that fact. I read it somewhere. When he was onstage, everybody was saying "Kyaaaa~!" to the members and when it was already him, they came like zou zou zou. No one had been paying attention to the new guy. He felt sorry for him then. And it made him love his fans more (because he thought he has lesser fans than the others). That's why he writes back to all his fan mails. And he reaches out to anyone he could reach whenever in a concert. He wanted to hold their hands to show them how he treasures his fans very much. That's what I can remember though. When I've read that, I wanted to hug him so tight. And tell him I'd go KYAAA~! for him too. Since then, I loved him so much. And I won't forget these facts.

Anyway, thanks for sharing this. XD

Thanks for sharing~!

After reading this, I feel that Arashi is so lucky to have Riida

Thanks so much for sharing!

It's wonderful to know how hard Ohno worked to get to where he is today. He suffered a lot of sweat, tears, and blood. I'm so happy that he didn't give up. It just wouldn't be right if he wasn't in Arashi. After reading this, I think see that he's really down to earth and totally understands how valuable his fans are. I him!!!!

Thank you for translating

Reading about how hard he worked to get to where he is now just makes me admire him so much more than what I already do

Ah, thankyou for such a wonderful translation.
Oh-chan is such a sweetie for how much he values his fans. Even though he is so talented, he still doubts himself..?

Aww, thank you so much for taking your time to summarise and share the informations. I now know more about Riidaa! I think people who stereotype him as 'unmotivated' and stuffs like that should read this and realise how hardworking and ambitious he is actually! And his mother is really sweet... Family bond is such a precious thing.

omg... i never knew those stuff about ohno ;___; he really worked hard for dancing!! and he's really good!!! 8DDDD
gosh ohno, i was wondering how come he appeared on lesser shows when he was a junior compared to the rest of them ;___; now i see.

i never knew this much about ohno but it really amazes me he has such depth and he really is sweet i really liked the part about his mom they really have a close relationship and his not afraid to show it it just shows what a great guy he really is

a very nice post ...is it my impression only, that ohno has bad start as johnnys...like kansai boys?
ok don't think the past, when the future now, arashi shining like stars. and ohno more famous nowadays.
keep going ohno, even though you are my niban. but still you are the best singer and dancer i've ever know.

what i really like about Riida is his family closeness... i think he'll be a good father and husband for his future family because he respects his family so much...go riida!
