Sho's Family

[noesunexito.livejournal.com]

I translated this for [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] a few days ago and I figured the rest of the community would probably like to know too:

From the popular Johnny's group, "Arashi", Sakurai Sho is well known for being from the upper crust who attended Keio schools from infancy. (Note: he attended escalator schools basically from elementary school that would guarentee its attendees a spot in Keio).
Not surprisingly, his family is also very famous~!

A very important person!! Sakurai Sho's father is...

Sakurai Sho's Father
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Assistant Vice-Minister; Sakurai Shun.

Sakurai Sho's Mother
According to Yahoo! She seems to be a daughter of Mitsui Zaibatsu (okay, this is one of the LARGEST conglomerates in Japan. This is like, the equivalent of being an heiress to P&G or something.)

Sakurai Sho's Brother
He works in the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications and appears to have excelled so that he's on his way to becoming a section chief of the secretarial section. (Source: Milk Cafe BBS)

Sakurai Sho graduated from Keio Private University's with a degree in Economics in four years while simultaneously continuing his career in the entertainment world.
According to a sports paper, he was told by his parents that if he did not graduate in four years then he would not be permitted to be an entertainer anymore.
What an enviable family!

I'd be a little skeptical of some of the sources, but I guess this blog specializes in "gathering information" about celebrities. I know for a fact the news about his father and the fact that he would have been forced to quit JE if he didn't graduate is 100% true. I did not know that bit about his mother and his brother though.

And Sakurai Shun is awesome, he's in my icon.

doesn't Sho has a younger brother and sister not older? That's confusing me I think like you I don't really believe everything in here (cause this is the first time that I hear something about an older brother)

[veracia.livejournal.com]

yup, he has a younger sister(20) and a younger brother(13years apart, that is 11??) arashigoto stated that too.

i've never heard of him having an older brother before ne.(>_<)

homg, Sho I love you more, thanks for translating this, I would have had no clue. . but the image fits him to me, for some reason.

[yumenoko.livejournal.com]

That just makes him hotter. Although, I was pretty sure that couldn't happen considering how hot he already was. *runs off and tries to do the math*

Oh good god, she's a zaibatsu daughter... All I remember is that Mitsui owns Toyota and Toshiba XD.

Sakurai Shun is a cute old man. Hopefully Sho kun ages well and becomes a cute ojiichan too! The article didn't say anything about his sister?

Good work though. Now go do your essays! Or sleep! XDDD

Thanks for posting! I had no idea about his mom or brother. I always thought his brother was younger for some reason lol

[squints63.livejournal.com]

I remember stumbling on a place that said his mom was a lecturer too..

[genshoku-gal.livejournal.com]

[arashinokaoi.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting this. I don't really know what to believe because I didn't know much except for him graduating from Keio University with an economics degree. He has quite the family!
