*What each member of Arashi thinks about Nino*
Taken from H November issue

1 What's your favourite work among Nino's past works?
Aiba: 'Amagi Goe' in his Johnny's Jr period! He challenged the work in cropped head... He used to use Doraemon towel to cover his head!! which was cute.
Ohno: 'Rebel Without a Cause' Because he looked a different person.
Sakurai: 'Ao no Honoo' I was impressed by his expression when he was attacking his father with a bat, have never seen such an expression on his face.
Matsumoto: 'Stand Up!' I loved his comical acting. He was impersonating our manager and it was so funny.

2 What do you think is Nino's most selling point as an actor?
Aiba: His sensitivity... I'd say the way he interprets a thing is very sharp, or open minded not only in acting but in many different things.
Ohno: Ordinary personality.
Sakurai: He's being natural but deep inside.
Matsumoto: Evanescence (by Ninomiya).

3 If you were a producer, what kind of role in what kind of work would you want him to play?
Aiba: Fantacy. I believe he's capable of acting even a role of non-human beings.
Ohno: Hyper tension character.
Sakurai: Someone totally insane. I'm sure he can do it, but wanna see him acting insane as I've never seen him acting that kind role before.
Matsumoto: An absolute looser.

4 Nino's attractive point and weak point.
Aiba: His hands! I was just talking about this today, his hands look like a beef burger.
Ohno: His hands, round and cute.
Sakurai: He always misses people, but likes being on his own as well. He gets embarrased to be found out what he really thinks inside.
Matsumoto: Small pretty hands with short fingers, might look like a beef burger.

5 What Nino has and you don't, and what do you envy him at?
Aiba: He's got a wide rage of tensions. He can do his job whatever his tension is, no matter how low or high. He knows how to react even when in low tension.
Ohno: He's quick on the uptake.
Sakurai: He's really good at getting people's mind. I think it's because he's quick on reading people's mind.
Matsumoto: He can switch himself on very quickly, for instance he's sometimes playing games just before recording, which I can't do.

6 What do you want Nino to improve?
Aiba: He always wants to read manga I'm just reading!! Although I'm telling him 'I'm reading now', he says 'lend me, lend me', which is like a school boy...
Ohno: He touches my delicate part and bum.
Sakurai: He's always playing with Ohno, which I like because it's fun to watch. But honestly scares me when I think what other people would think of them. However, it's madly funny.
Matsumoto: Used to be annoyed with him playing games beside me (laugh), but got use to it, so play whenever you like.

7 What has he changed most since debut?
Aiba: Don't know very well because we've been together most of the time. But he eats out more often now, perhaps!!
Ohno: Basically he hasn't changed at all.
Sakurai: He gets malicious tongue on TV more often these days, which we call 'Evil Comment'. But he gives sharp and great comments.
Matsumoto: The way he thinks has changed the least among all of us, which means he's tended to think things over since younger.

8 If you express Nino in colour, what colour would he be? and why?
Aiba: Probably Blue? because he used to dance in blue costume in Jr period, and I've still got the strong image of that.
Ohno: Yellow because he often wears yellow costume at concerts.
Sakurai: Pale blue, which I feel is beautiful but evanescent. It shows in his tunes he creates I suppose.
Matsumoto: I can't think of any at all. I stuck at this question and slept on it , but nothing comes up to my mind.


So, let me hear what you think!

my "delicate part"?!?! hahah. poor ohno.

but seriously, what is with the "beef burger" thing?!?! are his hands that strange?!?!

1 What's your favourite work among Nino's past works?
=Hm...hard to choose one,'cause I love all of his work...But Abunai Houkago is the best!! He looks really good and really has taken my heart away from this drama!

2 What do you think is Nino's most selling point as an actor?
=He's really into the role of what he's been acting. He's totally not the same nino we usually see when he appears in the dramas or movies!

3 If you were a producer, what kind of role in what kind of work would you want him to play?
=A father! I mean a father who can donate all of his entire life to his own children!

4 Nino's attractive point and weak point.
=He has completely 2 different sides of hime personalitythis is very attractive and makes ppl wonder what has this guy been thinking about with his deep thought... His weak point is that he still have his own world against everyone...

5 What Nino has and you don't, and what do you envy him at?
=Nino avoids to give up doing things, but to me...I'll do it as much as I can in one thing, and then I'll stop... I want to be like him, keep going!

6 What do you want Nino to improve?
=I want him to be more opened to everybody....and try to take away his wall between everyone...to open more of his mind....


7 What has he changed most since debut?
=Not much changed, he's still nino as like before. Well one thing that he plays more with hearts not pretending unlike those time he was quite very step away from the crowded.


8 If you express Nino in colour, what colour would he be? and why?
=Black and white....separately, he has both sides of his life....with dark side and white side like a baby... That's him!

nino's color is either yellow or orange. the bright colors.
ohno's colors are either blue or light blue.
sho's colors are either red or sometimes pink.
aiba's colors is either green but sometimes swithes colors with Jun.
jun's color is purple but sometimes switches colors with aiba.

and i'm glad to hear that he hasn't really changed much~

Captain almost sounds like he's complaining... but we know what he REALLY thinks~

I also think of a nice baby blue color when I think of him.

Thanks so much for the translation. I can't believe Ohno said that Nino touches his "delicate part" and I agree with AmekoMJ what exactly does Ohno want him to improve on exactly?!

I wouldn't complain if I was Ohno.
