[plueonigiri.livejournal.com]

^^ Fixed, sorry... I put in the wrong code so it turned out funny.

[sweetierain.livejournal.com]

thank tyou for the translation. that's quite a LONG list!
i'd want aiba-chan as a friend too! that'll be fun!
and nino's wearing glasses only when he's on the comp and when he plays the piano..
well, when he wears glasses during his piano session on the concert, that's enough to kill me!!

i'm intending to get a copy of DUET! :)

[c-alen.livejournal.com]

wow....sho-chan got so many #1.
thanks for translating.

[plueonigiri.livejournal.com]

He's really popular lately :D

[ko9epan.livejournal.com]

thanks for trans ^^ was looking through it earlier and wondering what some of the categories were but now it's all soo much clearer ^^

[plueonigiri.livejournal.com]

No problem!

[p3rk3le.livejournal.com]

whoaaa. Sho definitely got first a lot.. xD
And honestly, MatsuJun is best idol pet. Momooooo~~~

p.s. where did you get this? I wanna know the rest of the idols that got voted. plzzz

[plueonigiri.livejournal.com]

It's in the September issue of the DUET magazine ^^

[ntrida.livejournal.com]

wooooooooow amazing <3 thanx for the translation <3

as expected of ohno he has #1 of the best voice and #2 of the best dancer even though he is too humble <3

I want to see ohno act as a samurai and detective T__T

sakurai <333 good papa <3

shotoshi as hero of justice *doki doki*

love it <3 thanx for sharing

[leenoux.livejournal.com]

"His comment : There’s no such thing. I’m still not there yet. Speaking of which, I love singing through the nose the most."
Singing through the nose? *snrk* XDD

Thanks for the list!! It's quite interesting to see how japanese fans see them! :D

[pi-hiatus.livejournal.com]

amazing that most of them make it to top 10 and sho got so many #1 <3

[fecundeety.livejournal.com]

I was getting a little worried when I saw few "purples" but felt relieved towards the end. MJ is not my favorite of the band but I'm pretty sure he'd be worried if he wasn't on much (and the rest were).

ABSOLUTELY FUNNY how EVERYONE BUT Sho was on the "good cook" vote XD!!!
Nino should definitely made it to "good at sports" list :\ shame.

Thanks for sharing~

[fecundeety.livejournal.com]

PS. How could Sho beat MJ at ACTING? Lol oh well, Mr caster is still my fav~ <3

[sakura10101.livejournal.com]

I’m glad that this is said about me, but is it okay if it’s me? (laugh)
It might be hard to concentrate because of just his prescence in the same room, but everyone will be able to manage XD
I want to be a good papa. I like children but I guess it’s good to be a bit stern with my own children
-grins-

Thanks so much for translating~ :D

Ah, sorry to be picky but isn't MatsuJun #6 and Aiba #8 on the "The idol that you would want as a lover" ranking? ^^;;;

[plueonigiri.livejournal.com]

[meoinkie2.livejournal.com]

[murii.livejournal.com]

thanks so much! It's weird that for petto question jun is the last among arashi ne? And sho is convinced that he's yattaman xD I love that! They are so humble when it comes to answer ahahah
thanks so much for this long list! I'm glad that they have a lot of places :D

[nepheliads.livejournal.com]

These were hilarious. Thanks for sharing.^^

[starfruitangel.livejournal.com]

thanks for posting this! ahhh its soo cute! How can nino be clueless about the glasses award?! has he forgotten his Niji perf? And the crossdressing... wonder who took the top few places tho

[themagiczebra.livejournal.com]

The one who got the top place was Chinen Yuri. :))))))))

[iiantonet.livejournal.com]

[akamepiforever.livejournal.com]

THEY.. THEY -- ranked in so many things! :D ♥ I feel happy, all of them got first for at least one thing, whee! (Haha, I just knew Ohno would get the good at singing one XD) They completely pwned the votes, yay for Arashi! ^^

[maishoku.livejournal.com]

Aww, they got so many placings. I'm happy. (grins) Thanks for translating, Onigiri-san! Looking forward to the next translation of yours! :)

[amhrancas]
