Enjoy! Part 2 coming up later~
I've included all the pages I've translated, even the ones with only one sentences because they look too good and the sentences were too sweet!
Want to try buying something that matches/comes in a pair? (laugh)
SAKURAI SHO
Date Situation 1
Free and easy shopping
Q : The moment that you feel “It’s spring~”
I feel it through people with pollen allergy
When I look at people being troubled by pollen allergy, I think, “It has become that season again this year.” Even among Arashi’s members (Aiba, Matsumoto) and the staff there are people with pollen allergy, so I am able to feel the change in seasons around me quite well. But of course, it might come to me tomorrow (bitter laugh).
Q : An Arashi song that fits a spring date perfectly
Love so sweet
There are songs which have titles that make you think of Spring, like “Sakura Sake” or “Harukaze Sneaker” but for me, this song comes to mind. The reason would be the intro for this song is lightly played and gives off a “spring-like image.” It’s a date after all, so “spring-like” would be good.
Q : Graduation memories
Frolicking with everyone
What comes to mind would be my university graduation ceremony. I had fun with all my friends at the appreciation party, with the ouen (meaning “encouraging”) club or cheerleaders. I was also carried on top of my friends’ shoulders (laugh). During the night, we had a drinking party at a hotel but thinking, “Ah, with this it’s goodbye,” my heart felt really overwhelmed.
If you were to lie to a member for April Fool’s?
Actually, I’m B-type
Even if I tell a lie now, I feel like I’ll get caught right away ne. that’s because, there are very little things that are not known. If I had to lie, I guess I’ll try saying “I’m actually B-type.” (laugh) They might be really shocked, saying “After all this time?” (laugh)
Something that has made your heart “spring” (feels like it’s been shot) recently?
Opening of the movie I starred in!
Definitely, the opening of the movie “Yatterman.” We wrapped up last month in May, and now that it’s finally done everyone’s happiness was really great. The world premiere in New York, and the premiere in Japan were both attended by many people, so I was really happy ne.
Let's enjoy a special lunch just for the two of us!
AIBA MASAKI
Date Situation 2
Friendly kitchen
Q : The moment that you feel “It’s spring~”
Sniffing it out by happenings to my body
I guess it’s when my body reactions to the pollen. Because since primary school, I’ve been associated with pollen allergy, so when changes/happenings occur on my body, I know it right away (bitter laugh). In my case, when the pollen flies, my eyes and nose gets really affected and I just start stoning. If it’s not for my pollen allergy, spring would be the best season…
Q : An Arashi song that fits a spring date perfectly
Harukaze Sneaker
Isn’t this a totally cute title? Of course, the song and the composition are both lively, really spring-ish! Other than that, songs with the word “sakura” in it like “Sakura Sake” also comes to mind, but to me it’s the image of “Sakura blooming = Passing (exam)” so rather than a date-song it’s more like a cheer-song, I guess.
Q : Graduation memories
Crying my eyes out at lonely partings
When I was in middle school there were lots of good friends and juniors, so my school life was really fun. So when it comes to the graduation ceremony, it was so sad to part, and I cried my eyes out. As for juniors, they were my buddies from basketball team. The senior-junior relationship in middle school was strict, but we got along well and were friendly.
If you were to lie to a member for April Fool’s?
I’m actually 30 years old (laugh)
Eh, I don’t actually lie. But if you want me to no matter what, how does “Actually I’ve been cheating about my age!” sound? Something like “I’ve been hiding it, but I’m turning 30 soon” (laugh). But, I guess nobody will be cheated. Even if I’m told this by other members, I’ll laugh.
Something that has made your heart “spring” (feels like it’s been shot) recently?
No alarms in the morning
I’ve always been waking up early due to work, but today I felt happy being relaxed after a long while. I’m especially excited about the night before. When I think about, “I don’t have to wake up early tomorrow, so I’ll sleep without setting an alarm,” I get so excited that even if I get into the bed I can’t really fall asleep (laugh).
Today it's a battle! But, I'll probably lose to you (laugh)
OHNO SATOSHI
Date Situation 3
Playing games happily
Q : The moment that you feel “It’s spring~”
The nostalgic scent of spring
The scent of cherry blossoms too, but when a particular scent which I can’t describe comes along with the wind, I think, “Ah – it’s spring.” For me, it’s the scent of someplace nostalgic ne. The feeling is something like, “Ah, the scent of student life.” See, spring is the season for graduations and entrance (to schools/universities).
Q : An Arashi song that fits a spring date perfectly
Arashi
I have no idea why, but when I listen to this song I feel “the beginning of spring.” Somehow the intro is spring-ish. Perhaps it’s because of the light piano melody? When it goes into the song it turns lively, I think it’s perfect for a date. The lyrics sing of the ending of summer, but I’m the type that gets into the lyrics of a song ne.
Q : Graduation memories
Stew with friends
After the graduation ceremony for middle school, my friends came to my house and we ate the stew that my mother made together, an unforgettable memory. I don’t remember much about the ceremony though (laugh). It’s just that, being limited to a student’s lifestyle, I really like “the moment something ends” so rather than feeling sad about it, I felt cheerful.
If you were to lie to a member for April Fool’s?
Build it up from magic
I want to try saying “Actually, I’m from another planet” to Sho-kun. That’s because if I say it with a serious face, it’s probably be believed, if it’s Sho-kun (laugh). But, it’s hard to trick him with just words, so I’ll try to levitate I guess. When that time comes, I’ll ask Nino to teach me magic to make it happen (laugh).
Something that has made your heart “spring” (feels like it’s been shot) recently?
Topping is fun
I get the most exited when I eat meals during the shooting of the drama “Uta no Oniisan.” Right now, I like a gyudon shop close to the shooting location. There are many types of toppings so I’m really into it, eating gyudon with grated yam and okra sprinkled on top is the best!
The weather is good, so let's stroll leisurely
MATSUMOTO JUN
Date Situation 6
A warm and sunny stroll
Q : The moment that you feel “It’s spring~”
My eyes get itchy
When the pollen flies, I know immediately (laugh). Lately there’s been the pollen report on TV, but I don’t check it. Because, even if you know it you can’t do anything about it, and when you find out that there’s a lot of it flying you feel blue. By the way, in my case my eyes get itchy, so glasses are a must for me.
Q : An Arashi song that fits a spring date perfectly
Harukaze Sneaker
I don’t know if it fits a date perfectly, but if you tell me the keyword is “spring,” I can’t think of any other song but this one (laugh). that’s because when you sing it out, isn’t there a really spring-ish feeling to it? I think when you look around there would be more, but lately this is the only one that comes to mind.
Q : Graduation memories
Photoshoot with friends
I did this during my high school graduation with my friends, and I also remember the graduation party quite well. After the graduation ceremony was over, we gathered at the shop and spent our time there happily. Probably, all my classmates came, I guess? At that time we did the photoshoot cheerfully, it was really fun.
If you were to lie to a member for April Fool’s?
Shock them with a daring proclamation
If I’m gonna do it anyway I want to try proclaiming proudly, “I’ll be migrating overseas from May!” (laugh) It’s quite an abrupt thing, but if I explain it with a serious face I think I’ll be able to trick them. Then, if they say “It’s okay if you go” I’ll really go! … Of course, that’s a joke (laugh).
Something that has made your heart “spring” (feels like it’s been shot) recently?
Being excited when spring arrives
Recently, it’s been really warm and my heart becomes really excited and happy. I’m troubled by the pollen, but when spring comes, I’m really happy. When spring comes I don’t need the coat anymore, my body and my heart becomes light. I feel like strolling around aimlessly ne. I’m able to wear different types of bright clothes as well, so I look forward to the fashion too.
Welcome to my home! Let's spend the whole day relaxing
NINOMIYA KAZUNARI
Date Situation 5
Kicking back at home
Q : The moment that you feel “It’s spring~”
Aiba-kun is the sign
Of course, I feel spring when the cherry blossoms bloom, but when it’s around me it’s Aiba-kun’s pollen allergy (bitter laugh). He sneezes and it seems miserable, but every year when I see this scene I go “Aa, spring has come again this year.” Though it’s a pitiful kind of arrival for spring ne.
Q : An Arashi song that fits a spring date perfectly
Sakura Sake
Amongst Arashi’s songs there are plenty of songs that are date-orientated but speaking of spring it should be this one, right? The title is like that, so it perfectly comes across as a spring song ne (laugh). It’s good as a BGM for when you go for sakura-viewing with everyone, but of course I would want it to be a choice for a spring date as well.
Q : Graduation memories
Graduation ceremony rehearsal with everybody
Speaking of this, it reminds me of the graduation ceremony from primary school. For the sake of the ceremony, we all had lots of rehearsals. After the graduation we played in the school compound, that time holds a very nostalgic feeling. But, when I became a middle-schooler the time seemed very short, and it was a very vague period (quietly).
If you were to lie to a member for April Fool’s?
Lies are no good!
I don’t tell lies. Because, lies are no good. I have never told a lie until this day (laughs). That’s why, I don’t understand the feeling of telling lies just because it’s April Fool’s. It doesn’t even appear in my mind, the type of lie I should tell. In any case, it’s no good to lie at any time (laugh)!
Something that has made your heart “spring” (feels like it’s been shot) recently?
The drinking party for the drama!
Every single day of the shooting for the “Door To Door” drama. And, there was the chance to have a drink with the staff from the drama, and it was fun the way I got fired up after a long while. The staff that I’ve known previously, plus new acquaintances, it was a very refreshing party.
I hope you enjoyed reading this :D Though it's way past spring now *laugh*
