yes i was like almost all of you a MatsuJun fan but it wasnt because of HYD it was because of Gokusen. Jun looked so cute there. i have to admit. when i first saw ohno-kun i didnt think much of him. i thought he was an ok guy. but as i started to get to know them i saw that ohno-kun was just like me in everyway (except for the gender difference). from that momment on i was a true ohno-kun fan.

during all of the show's he's pretty much really quiet.. i've never really noticed him until the "uma!" part that he says like every time in arashi no shukudai kun =) i noticed jun and sho first!! altho they're like really hot, i think ohno's pretty cute too! and also, i couldn't really think of him as the riida because he's so quiet... but he has some leadership skills too.. oh and he's loved by everybody! :)

Pretty much agree with the above post!
I was Jun-Nino-Sho drama baited, so I guess first impressions of Ohno were on Shukudai-kun. But yeah, he generally doesn't do much to stand out on TV appearances so at first I didn't make much note of him. Later I found him quite funny in a dopey-pierrot sense, but now I'm quite endeared to the gormless expression on his face ^_^ Sort of cute in a lost child "doesn't know what's going on around him" kinda way.

just like everyone i was a jun bait too..
and didn't think twice about Ohno.. until i saw:
dun dun dun.. Sakura Sake PV.. and i loved his voice and i loved how he's soo random.. i watched the pv soooo many times and i
googled Arashi and found out his name.. and everything!! i watched
the Hanamaru Cafe and more videos and stuff. and FELL MADLY MADLY MADLY INLOVE WITH HIM its like my addiction.. obsession. yaahh i think i reached the stalker kind haha jk. but yeahh.

at first he's not worth my time. now he consumes it all up. <3333

hi newbie here...but i love Ohno Satoshi and Arashi.

I was actually Jun Baited....when I first saw Do-S as Momo in Kimi wa Petto when YouTube was still lenient with their rules, then after that, i slowly started to get to know him..and the band he's in. and noticed that there is a girl among them.

and i said: "and i thought Johnny's an all-boys group company! What progress"

but upon looking closer, i realized that...eh, it's a boy. only feminine-looking type. much to my disappointment.

but he intrigued me since then, i started to watch him closely. i searched everything about him, watched his solos since 'cool', admired for his discipline and high artistic sense, and eventually found out he's an artist..and he wished to become one professionally if he's not in a band. which is why on some of his recent interviews i can relate a lot to his quirks, because we're artists by nature (i work in the advertising industry but i do paintings on spare time)..and i envy how he had his first exhibit supported by the jimusho. and how he can balance his regular job with his passion (fishing included)

so, if it wasn't for jun, i never would had known ri-da.

At first I didn´t notice him well, because he dosen´t talk much and usually stays behind and he´s small.

After watching 24 HrTV I really admire him. He´s really kind and seems to be able to win other people´s heart easily.

I also like his face, he looks so cute when he smiles.

first impression. . .well i actually saw them in the HERO PV on animax before and all and generally i just pictured:
(ah hey another F4 band dudes)

lol then i notice nino's smiley face, then sho didn't wanna look at sho for some reason he freaks me out before

and then riida i said: he looks kinda ordinary and what's with the hairstyle? then watching some arashi videos ( i really didn't think that he was captain material and he was kinda always bullied by others isn't he? well for me those were my first impressions of him.

Hmm at first I think he's quiet weird, but he got a good voice . His face actually is the one attract me the most at first , I love his well-shaped face

Haha... my first impression of him definately was not a good one but things start to change as I get to see more of the Arashi videos such as the famous utaban fight! Ohno's personality definately stands out!

When I first saw him, I was like "wow, he's kinda dorky..." And he came off as a bit of a space cadet in the shows I saw on youtube. I started thinking he was kind of cute, with a pretty good voice (I had only heard two or three Arashi songs at the time), but nothing special.

Then I stumbled across his performance of "Rain"...and my respect for him skyrocketed. I think he's absolutely adorable (and super talented!) now.

I first saw him in YTM... but didn't realize that until much later. XD

When I REALLY saw him and noticed him, it was when I first saw the "Happiness" music video, and my first impression was that he was probably supposed to be the youngest member who was supposed to be the most sensitive and cute and everything... I don't know how to explain it, but now that I think about it, I can't help but laugh at myself. lol

I know Matsujun b4 Ohno from watching gokusen (but I didn't become his fan)... that time I know nothing about arashi (furthermore, I hate boysband...)
then I watch arashi at music station, thanks for my mom (who force me abit because she know I watch gokusen... she loves J-drama, I don't)

honestly, I almost pluck my ear shuts when I hear them sing... I was like "WTH? are they really singers?" and "WHat kind of silly dancing is that?" (sorry, I was in fact looking at Nino's flexible dancing?) but then I caught one voice that's not as bad as the others... in fact, it's a really nice voice (in my opinion)... and that's it (since I'm a voice fetish), my first impression of Ohno is that he has a really good voice (means he already caught my heart that time)... then I notice that he's the shortest and have (that time) a puppy looking face as my mom said (I was like "what a weird expression is that? why did he make such face?")

but it didn't take long to make me search more about him... for about a half year after that I only care about Ohno and not yet notice anything about arashi (haha...)

Honestly speaking when I first new of Arashi Ohno was like in the background. He was the one I didn't notice much but as soon as I saw more of him in the shows I started to take a liking to him and now I am in love with him. Ohno is number 1 in my heart sorry Jun. There is just something about him that makes me giggles like a school girl. Ohno you are awesome.

I first noticed Ohno when I was looking for videos on YouTube of Toma-chan! I saw the clip of him interviewing Arashi and their little Pika**Nchi double pv. I was like, wow that short guy can sing. And Riida was the only one I could pick out because he looked so different from everyone. So I started paying attention to him because I could remember his name. My love just grew from there and it practically exploded when I fell in to the Ohmiya SK fandom!

it really was abit hard to notice ohno kun before ne?
someone i feel i like he's hiding in the back or something. as some had said in the background right?
but once you hear him sing it's amazing how someone can have such voice and singing skills
