~~ The Ohmiya Poll ~~

[jliann.livejournal.com]

Every time I see the word 'Ohmiya', it means something a little different depending on who's talking. [Poll #1350563][Poll #1350563]

I think I've covered all the major factions, yes?

Comments? Opinions?

Please, please don't flame each other for a difference in opinion, because that is NOT the point of this poll. There is no correct answer here. Unless you are Nino or Ohno, your opinion is just your best guess =)))

I did it for the lulz D:

[jliann.livejournal.com]

Puuurfect XD Because Ohmiya is ALL ABOUT the lulz ~

[jliann.livejournal.com]

TRUFAX, you said it! XD

I wasn't sure what to pick because I've never actually thought about it, but they seem like two close friends who just do what they do naturally. Rather than doing it for the fans or because they're romantically involved with each other (though they could be, absolutely xD) it's more like it's just fun for them to do what they do. So I picked the mutually-attracted one.

But the smokescreen one, I was so tempted to pick it...

Nice poll. Actually I've been wondering the same *despite the fact that they're my OTP xD*

Let me dust off my little tinhat here...
Self-proclaimed "hetero lifemates" do come around every now and then, but 10+ years of gay chicken seems to imply to me that there might be a little something more under the surface, even if (most likely) neither of them really thinks much of it. I don't envision fifty-year-old Ohmiya telling us all "yep, you were right!", but I do believe that their drunk dialing is probably a little more honest than they realize. So, yeah, I picked "mutually attracted" but I'd like to tack on "and unaware."

...I was pretty tempted to go for the Matsujun answer, though XD

Ohmiya - Two bestfriend who doesnt get embarrass in what they do in public.It is pure love between them.

I LOVE OHMIYA!

[jliann.livejournal.com]

I think it's a natural thing for them too, most of the time. But it's progressed to a point where it's hard to tell anymore XD

I put the smokescreen one there mostly for lulz, but partly b/c I know there's a pretty big faction of ppl who believe that Jun is the gayest of them all XD

[jliann.livejournal.com]

Deshou? DESHOU??? XD

Seriously, I hope this solves the 'ohmiya demographic' question in my head once and for all.

[youkosiren.livejournal.com]

I totally went with Matsujun XD Although maybe it's more likely that it's the practical joke one, I like the idea of smokescreen so much more~

[jliann.livejournal.com]

"And unaware" ^__^d Good point!

But yeah, I think that would fit into in the Mutual-Attraction option.

I don't envision a sudden "coming out" anytime in the future, either. It just doesn't seem like Arashi's (or JE's) style.

...I wonder how many people will go for the MatsuJun answer? XD

[babey16.livejournal.com]

I picked the first one (you know, because their team is good for their business)...
But in the back of my mind I'm scared of the 4th choice ( they are mutually attracted to each other) because.....Nino is mine...hahaha!

[jliann.livejournal.com]

Yessss, it could SO be a sekrit conspiracy *cackles*

With Ohno and Nino cast as the heroic, self-sacrificial figures, putting their sexual orientations on the line for Princess Jun. XDDD

I like the way you think!

i don't know. sometimes, their moments just seem to happen on its own without much planning.

sometimes i find them funny, it's like they enjoy fucking with other members' minds, and keeping the fans confused and guessing...

sometimes, i have to say i find them freaky, especially when they go overboard. this speaks more about the cultural differences; where i come from, straight guys don't do most of the things they do. i'm not saying my way of thinking is correct, far from it. i'd like to think i'm open-minded but hmmm, i guess, i'm not as open-minded and as worldly as i like myself to be.

there's this discussion in a news community about why they like news the best. i scanned it (obviously i have nothing much to do and am bored out of my mind) and there's a comment about how news is not overly sparkly and overly gay. ohmiya came immediately to mind because they do tend to be overly gay sometimes. depending on the person, ohmiya can be really weird sometimes.

[itsmysunshine.livejournal.com]

Yep. I think they are good friends. Really GOOD friends. But to think that they might have so-called romantic relationship... I don't know.

Although the MatsuJun one, LOL. xD

[inuhariko.livejournal.com]

z. The only possible outlet for the sexually frustrated gay one.

That's my answer! ^_^

[thatrous.livejournal.com]

Cant say id be surprised in the least, I think I'm going to have to go with this one.

[jliann.livejournal.com]

The part about NewS is interesting, actually!

It supports the idea that anything a group has going for it, can just as easily be something against it. So in this case, I suppose there are just as many people repelled by Arashi's gayness just as there are people attracted by it.

Well, that's the beauty of having lots of different JE groups to pick from, I guess!~

Plus Ohmiya is weird to their own groupmates half the time, so it's nice that we're not alone ^^

[jliann.livejournal.com]

I'm with you there.

I think they're the sort of friends you'd NEVER ACTUALLY FIND in real life, because most of us don't have the opportunity of getting that close, through the situations that they get put in.

So it's not quite JUST friendship, but I don't think it's romantic either.

I'm beginning to think that I might need to start calling the MatsuJun one the Smokescreen Camp XDD

[akina-love.livejournal.com]

i think it started with option 2 and along the way they realised option 1, and now it's a combination of them both.

[jliann.livejournal.com]

Tis wuite possible XD

Wait. Which one do you think is the sexually frustrated one? LOL

[jliann.livejournal.com]

YES XD

That would be the turning point at which all the disgusted managers finally got on board. And probably why Johnny is still A-Okay with it, hehe.

[itsmysunshine.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, ILU. You speak my thoughts exactly xD.

10 years of being in one group is really something that can make you getting closer than ever with your group mates. And to see their situations, it just makes sense that they're THAT close.

I still love the affections being displayed though, haha.

I'm beginning to think that I might need to start calling the MatsuJun one the Smokescreen Camp XDD

DO IT ♥

There is nothing that could distract anyone from MatsuJun's raging homosexuality.

I didn't vote because I don't really have an opinion. I enjoy Ohmiya as a pairing in the fandom sense (i.e. reading fanfiction, laughing at their antics, having silly icons of their lurve, etc). I don't feel the need to put deeper thought into the true meaning behind it all. The only thing I would tend to say it's not is a sales tactic. Most of the Ohmiya moments happen in concerts, Arashi's late night shows, and Johnny's-centric magazines. Those are things really only people who are already fans are going to be looking at/going to. Hamming it up as a joke or to keep things interesting is one thing, but it's not really going to sell Arashi any new CDs/DVDs/etc XD

[annezca.livejournal.com]

Ohmiya is undoubtedly True love. XDDD
