arashi_onHi everyone! Hope you've all been doing well! I was wondering if anyone knew of some inspirational quotes that Arashi has said/sang. I'd also like some from Sakurai-san, since he always works so hard with Arashi and news casting. I really need to keep my spirits up in school, and Arashi always encourages me, so I figure inspirational quotes would be great! If you had it written in Japanese and English that would be great, but I'm mainly looking for the English version. (Funny quotes would be good too, but if I have them up on my lab desk, people might think I'm crazy because they won't understand... Haha! So inspirational quotes would be better :) ).
Thanks!
Sugi,
PS. This is really random, but the Tokyo Game Show video game convention is going on (or was going on... the days seem to blend together recently since I'm so busy...) and I kept thinking, "I wonder if Nino-chan was there????" I'm probably the only one who thought that... but maybe other people have too? Thanks again for all your help!

Date: 2009-09-26 04:07 pm (UTC)"I guess it's been these last three years, where I felt that if I recklessly kept giving 120% to the things in front of me, today's things, tomorrow's things, somehow a road that connected to what's after that would open. Because oppositely as a special characteristic of our work, it's like if you stand still you're done, so we had to keep running."
"Because I think that I don't have anything like natural talent at all. That's probably what makes me worry. I have to accumulate things. I don't think I'm really exerting myself that much, but if I'm being estimated as that, I think it's because I worry. But that is, it's different from having no confidence. In a sense, I think I believe in myself strongly. So I'm a talented person, but maybe I have an aptitude for working hard."

Date: 2009-09-26 04:24 pm (UTC)Especially since Arashi themselves wrote the lyrics.
"People are people and you are yourself
Once you start comparing then you're the one that loses"

Date: 2009-09-26 04:40 pm (UTC)"We can make it true, true dreams are always beside you.
Only one shines throughout this wide world.
We can make it true, the unshakable dream is always right there.
Holding tight to this wide world right now. Your dream! Your dream!"

Date: 2009-09-26 05:05 pm (UTC)Oh Yeah
I raised my both hands, we are singing to support this world.
Reaching the heaven, we fly, oh yeah!
Even if we are able to return to that day, we will still choose the same path.
Becoming one, we fly, oh yeah! We are getting there
Carry On
Every night ends and a new day is born
Every rain stops and rainbow is born
Without losing sight of your tomorrow,
follow the endless dream.
The rain will stop when the morning come.
Our future will shine once again.
There are no dreams that won't come true.
Let's continue to believe that.
Let's feel the unseen path.
Our own paths.
To carry on, just one step at a time.
To carry on, a future is waiting for us.
To carry on
all so sweet and motivating^^

Date: 2009-09-26 11:40 pm (UTC)My favourite would be “There won’t be a tomorrow if you just wait
We moved because nothing would start here” Sakurai's rap from Still...

Date: 2009-09-27 02:39 am (UTC)it got me through my exams and stuffs
突然には天才にはなれないから
つづけてく少しずつ Up!Up!Up!Up! いつか...
歩き出す
あなたの夢は みんなの夢さ
今この時は 君が輝く舞台
ながした涙 超えてここに立つ
そのまなざしが 世界に勇気与えるHero
You're Hero!
-Hero
You can't become a genius overnight
Just keep going, little by little
Up! Up! Up! Up! Someday...
Start to walk
Your dreams are everyone's dreams
This time is the stage where you shine
You overcame your tears to stand here
Your heroic gaze gives the world courage
You're a hero! - HERO

Date: 2009-09-27 04:31 am (UTC)He said `There will always be time. There`s plenty of time. I want everyone to just go and sunk yourself into whatever it is that you love. Because there will always be plenty of time.`
If it is important for us, we`ll make time somehow. From then on I can never cling to the old reason `there`s not enough time`. There`s only `I failed to manage time.`

Date: 2009-09-29 06:50 am (UTC)Change my life! Oh my precious days...
Yeah, the future is surely always waiting for us
That’s how we live
We all get on that train, carrying our destinies with us
And head for tomorrow
What do you think when your put your hand on the door, ready to set out?
I hear a voice saying “Don’t give up, just go for it”
Don’t give up, someday!
If you turn around, one day!
The passion you felt back then will tickle your heart
It’ll begin someday!
If you open the door, you’ll surely be able to go further, all the way
To a new passion
Change my life! Oh my precious days…
Yeah, we surely always know
The power of believing, how important it is
If you search for the truth, you’ll find it there before your eyes
Hold onto your passion and go
Even if you get depressed with this harsh world in these uncertain times
You have to make the move or nothing will change
Don’t hesitate, someday!
You’ll get there one day!
Surely someday the sadness and darkness will give way to light
It’ll begin someday!
If you open the next door you’ll be able to go further
To a new love, to the other end of your wishes
Don’t give up, someday!
If you turn around, one day!
The passion you felt back then will tickle your heart
It’ll begin someday!
If you open the door, you’ll surely be able to go further, all the way
To a new passion
Change my life! Oh my precious days…
hope u like it..

全てを壊したいって思う時期もあった。けど、俺が必要だって言ってくれる四人がいたから、頑張って来れたって思う。 (subete wo kowashitai tte omou jiki mo atta. kedo, ore ga hitsuyou da tte itte kureru yonin ga ita kara, ganbatte koreta tte omou)
There was a time in my life too when I just wanted to break everything. But I believe that I was able to hang in there because of the four people that told me that they needed me (or that I was important).
Ohno:
アイドルって言われたくないの。タレントも嫌、芸能人も嫌だな。ただの大野智で良いと思う。一人の人間として見ていて欲しい。(AIDORU tte iwaretakunai no. TARENTO mo iya, geinoujin mo iya da na. tada no oono satoshi de ii to omou. hitori no ningen toshite mite ite hoshii.shigoto mo asobi mo chuutohanpa wa iya. sonnan dattara yaranai hou ga ii to omou. yaru kara niwa zenryoku ja na)
Whether it's work or play, I hate doing things halfheartedly (or half-ass). If you're gonna be halfhearted about it, I think it's better that you don't do it at all. If you're gonna do it, give it all you've got.
Nino:
運命なんか信じた事ない。だけど、運命って考えた方が世の中楽しくなるかなって思うから…信じてみてもいいかな
って最近は思うようになってきたんだ (unmei nanka shinjita koto nai. dakedo, unmei tte kangaekata ga yo no naka tanoshiku naru kana tte omou kara...shinjite mite mo ii kana tte saikin wa omou you ni natte kitan da.)
I've never believed in fate and destiny. But since I think this idea of fate and destiny is is what makes things fun in the world...I've recently started to think that it might be okay to try and believe in it.
MatsuJun: (this is actually my favorite because that's how I want to live my life)
型にこだわる必要なんて無い。自分の型は自分で作れば良い。(kata ni kodawaru hitsuyou nante nai. jibun no kata wa jibun de tsureba ii.)
There is absolutely no reason you need to place so much importance on sticking to a mold. It's your mold; you should determine how it's made (lit. you should make your own mold).
喧嘩したこと無いからって、本音が言えない訳じゃない。ただ俺らは一応本音が言葉で言い合えるから喧嘩の必要性が無いんだよ。 (kenka shita koto nai kara tte, honne ga ienai wake janai. tada orera wa ichiou honne de iiaeru kara kenka no hitsuyousei ga nain da yo.)
The reason we say we never fight isn't because we can't show what we're really thinking to each other. It's more like because we can express what we're really thinking to each other that there's no reason for us to fight.
時間は俺がどう頑張っても止まらない。何もしなくても過ぎる。みんな同じ長さだからその時間をどうやって過ごすかって実はすごい重要だよ。有益にするか無益にするか、結局は自分次第。俺らがその時間を楽しむだけじゃ、ね。(jikan wa ore ga dou ganbatte mo tomaranai. nanimo shinakutemo sugiru. minna onaji nagasa dakara sono jikan wo douyatte sugosu ka tte jitsu wa sugoi juuyou da yo. yuueki ni suru ka mueki ni suru ka, kekkyoku wa jibun shidai. orera ga sono jikan wo tanoshimi dake ja ne.)
No matter how hard I try I cannot stop time. It passes even if I do nothing. We all have the same amount of time and thus, it's extremely important how we choose to use that time. Whether you use it to your advantage or you squander it, in the end it's all up to you. That's why we say the only thing you can do is to enjoy that time.

Does that help? I figured you could probably look up the lyrics to the songs on your own, so I went looking for that site I saw a while ago to see if I could pull up the quotes. I tried to get the English to sound as natural as possible, but in the event that you should want a second opinion on the translation of the quote, I've provided the original Japanese and romanization above my translation.

I don't want people to call me an idol. Or a celebrity or television personality for that matter. I just want to be Ohno Satoshi. I want people to see me as just another human being.
Aiba:
仕事も遊びも中途半端は嫌。そんなんだったらやらないほうがいいと思う。やるからには全力じゃな。(shigoto mo asobi mo chuutohanpa wa iya. sonnan dattara yaranai hou ga ii to omou. yaru kara niwa zenryoku ja na)
Whether it's work or play, I hate doing things halfheartedly (or half-ass). If you're gonna be halfhearted about it, I think it's better that you don't do it at all. If you're gonna do it, give it all you've got.
