What do you usually call the Arashi members?

i heart aiba

The idea taken from dbskexclusive.

So what do you usually call the members? By their family names or first names? Or maybe by some nicknames?

For me it's:
Aiba Masaki ---> Aiba
Matsumoto Jun ---> Jun
Ninomiya Kazunari ---> Nino
Ohno Satoshi ---> Ohno
Sakurai Sho ---> Sho

Interesting topic! Well, sometimes I call them by family names and first names but most of the time, nicknames :P

For me :-
Aiba Masaki ---> Aiba / Ma-chan / Fumi
Matsumoto Jun ---> Jun-kun / MatsuJun
Ninomiya Kazunari ---> Nino / Kazu-chan
Ohno Satoshi ---> Ohno / Oh-chan / Satoshi / Captain
Sakurai Sho ---> Sho-kun / Bambi

Seems like we tend to call them by the same names the members themselves call each other. Usually.

I mostly stick to their nick-names. Ohno is the only exception, I can't help but poke fun at his name some times, it's just too cute! xD whistle

It'll usually be by nicknames.
Or as what most fans used to call them.

Ninomiya Kazunari - Nino
Ohno Satoshi - Ohno
Matsumoto Jun - MatsuJun
Sakurai Sho - Sho
Aiba Masaki - Aiba

I'm still confused which one exactly is their first names...

Ninomiya Kazunari : Nino
Ohno Satoshi : Ohno
