I think the first time I saw an Arashi video was Wish PV, mainly because of HYD. But during that time I wasn't baited by jun (no offense), i just wanted to see the group members of the group matsujun was in at that time.

I remember seeing them wearing all red and ohno was invisible to me, I think I didn't really remembered any of their faces cuz the PV was mainly of the puppet story (LOL) but he was really invisible to me at that time.


The period I really started to notice Ohno was when I start reading arashi's information on Wiki. Reading the part he waved to his mom while in an audition and how he was actually chosen as a leader. I was starting to pay attention to ohno at that time, cuz his story is funny. Afterwhich, I watched Utaban and thought; "He's interesting! He actually talked back to his senior (Nakai)!!!" and I was constantly paying attention to him cuz he really looked blur in programs and such. And realized he was such a cute, talented guy.

Now, Ohno has a special rank in me, especially after watching mago mago rowing series. His leadership just shows up!!!

My first impression was:

"Why does he get the most singing parts?"

I'd initially got into Arashi because of MatsuJun. However, I continued to like Arashi because of Captain's amazing voice and general character. He's really interesting to me.

Yeah me too. The first ever Arashi vid I watched was the Kitto Daijoubu PV cuz my roommate kept playing it and my first impression of him was why is that guy hogging all the lines? (Then I heard Aiba's, Jun's, and Nino's one line solos and kinda went like, 'Oh that's why XD hehe no offence ppl! Nino's voice is great... but I disgress) anyway I thought he wasn't that good looking, not ugly, but not bishonen enough, I thought. And because of the spiky hair thing I think I thought he almost looked like a punk or something lolz!

I think I started liking him because of the We Can Make It! PV, because of the last bit where he goes all 'Wo~ wo~ wo~ yeahhh wo wo yeah~~ We can make it through~ We~ can make it through~~ yeahhhh~ woooooo woooooo woooooo' I mean it was like so awesome, beautiful beautiful voice, and then I started thinking holy shit that guy looks so absolutely pretty! (You gotta admit that We Can Make It PV has some seriously awesome editing, everyone looks pretty and the concept and design is beautiful. Does anyone know who makes those stuff?)

Anyway then I began watching Arashi's other PVs and songs, and then went on to their variety shows and stuff. One of the very first was the Aiba and Ohno on a boat learning English clip SO FUNNY! Dunno when I started thinking OMG Oh-chan is soo kawaii and pretty and sexy I LOVE HIS CHEEKS I WANNA PINCH THEM~ I think it must have been his singing that drew me further in. His voice is amazing.

Then I found out about his awesome dancing skills and his art and his absolutely kawaii personality oooooohhhh *drool* I love his short spiky hair now! I love his long hair in the A.RA.SHI. PV as well he looked sooo sexy. The first time I watched A.RA.SHI. PV I though he looked too girly though. Heck, I didn't even know who was who! I didn't even know their names. Months later, as a converted Arashi fan, I noticed Oh-chan's front flip and the mid-air twirl. And his uber silky beautiful voice. And the sexy long sleeved white sweater (drool) *cough* Anyway that was my first impressions of Oh-chan.

I was Jun bait first, than i found out he is in a group called Arashi, also someone in the group can really sing and i like the voice, after a long research and little time to figure out whose voice is who, i am totally Ohno the leader, and the leader only. He sometimes seem space out or could be hot and cool also. He may be the oldest but the baby face is just the cutest.

i never thought much about Ohno. he was just the quiet guy in the background. not very good looking. especially in his younger days LOL. i couldnt believe he was the leader... then again, the way he became leader was sorta strange...

then i watched some of arashi's PVs and found out that he sings so well!!!!!! his drawings are awesome too.

My first impression of Ohno...
I thought he's the kind of guy who would get pissed soo easily..LOL
Cause the first few vid I saw of him was when he and Sho went to help in a cow farm..
Yup.. Sho was reeaally slacking off and Ohno was reeaallyy pissed about it..

Now, it's just soo different from what I thought..
My first impression is almost always wrong usually... so I don't really trust it..LOL

I was a Jun girl at first.

I never really paid attention to Ohno ... It hit me one day when I was watching one of the Mago episodes with him and Nino (hilarious)

Ohno is my number one now!

Ohno... well, I knew he was the one who sang the best before I really got into them, even though Nino was the only one I liked. And then I went looking for random Arashi clips to put together for my friend's birthday and holy shit, I saw him dance.

And that was it, I completely fell.

The first time I noticed Ohno was their SC performance of Love So Sweet, I was like "this guy doesn't look half-bad!" Haha. But obviously my focus was so on Jun at that time.

After seeing them in MMA & AnS, I think Ohno's really cute at what he does. Esp in concerts, the dancing & vocals are brilliant! Love his voice!

Definitely my top fave member in the group

First Impression :
'Heeeeee? Siapa nih jelek banget! kayak cewe dasar! bwakakakakak!' ---> indonesian ways

Let me translate it :
'Heeeeeee? Who is this? So ugly! Just like a sissy girl! wahahahhahaha'

really, i don't like him in A.RA.SHI that's when first i saw him.
But now, look, i love him

My first impression of Rida. I was surfing the web and, I seen him on a PV and I thought omg this guy has a wonderful voice. So smooth so soothing. He can sing me to sleep any night

Originally like so many others I was Jun bait, well I was searching for some Jun vids when I found a video during one of their concerts,where MatsuJun had to perform a certain task for the other members it went like this:

Sho: take pictures of him
Aiba: give him a piggy back ride
Nino: be his back up dancer
Ohno: throw confetti

well I didnt know anybody out of Arashi except Jun and Nino (I had watched Stand Up!! by then) but when Matujun threw the confetti behind Ohno he absolutly looked amazing, I called my sister in the room and was like "look at this guy!" then I looked him up on wikipedia afterwards and fell in love with him =P

well, the very first time i saw him was when i was searching for HYD OST "love so sweet" i hate him because i was a matsujun fan then. hahah. he gets the most singing parts.. i watched further and thought "poor him, somebody got his coat!" [hahahhaha]

[after some time.. about more than a year i think] i saw his perf of ready to fly and thought he was really cute.. hahahha. i watched other arashi vids and i find him so "anime-ic" and since i like anime so much, i started to like him.. hahha.

he's the first one i noticed in arashi because he really looked like japanese and of course those chubby cheeks. but when i first watched the PV of A.RA.SHI i couldn't point him out. he kinda look different there for me and my sisters.
