arashi_onFrom Popolo Jan. 2010 (eep). There was a large section on Arashi (surprise), and one part had them rank each other on who would be most popular with different types of girls. I don't usually translate things, and my Japanese is rather questionable... but I think the general gist of things should be correct.
**translator notes in italics**
Q1: Who will be most popular if they went to a teaching school?
Aiba: Ohno
Because he's nice. Anyone will think that.
MatsuJun: Sakurai
Because he's doing news casting and is also very knowledgeable. Also, with that face, I think he will become popular. (laughs)
Nino: it seems like Ohno~
On the Himitsu no Arashi-chan special, when they asked the students at (the special guest) Akashiya Sanma-san's high school "Who do you want to be your teacher?," Ohno was number 1. Isn't it because he has the image of an art teacher (because he's good at drawing) and just seems very nice?
Ohno: Sakurai
Just by wearing a suit, he takes on the image, ne. When he says "I'm starting the class now!" it seems like the students will all suddenly snap up in alert.
Sakurai: isn't it Nino?
Because it seems like he will be able to explain the lesson in a easy to understand and simple way. Especially for an elementary school teacher, even if they have to be in charge of language, P.E., and music, etc, the clever Nino seems like he can do anything.
Winner: Sakurai/Ohno tie!
Q2: Who do you think is most popular among gal girls?
Aiba: MatsuJun
It's definitely him!
MatsuJun: Aiba maybe?
If it's Aiba, it seems like he will be able to pick up on and go along with a gal's mood and excitement. (laughs) So, iI think he'll definitely be received well among gals. But, going along with that meaning (ed: on why Aiba would be popular), Leader should definitely be no good!! (laughs)
Nino: none
Between the five of us, I don't think there's one......
Ohno: for no real reason, MatsuJun
Just by looking at MatsuJun, wouldn't gals be like "chou yabai!!"* or "it's the real MatsuJun!!" ** and be all happy? (laughs) I really don't know why, but it seems like he'll be well received by gals in that way.
*"chou yabai" is youth slang and basically kinda means it's so awesome it might even get to a point of being a little dangerous? (like someone being too sexy...), not sure how to explain this
** I don't get this real MatsuJun comment, but it's probably gal slang...
Sakurai: Ohno
Because he's dark! With that sun-tanned look, gals should be like "maaaaan, I love that darkness!!"
Winner: MatsuJun
Q3: Who do you think is most popular among female celebrities?
Aiba: Sakurai
If it's Sho-chan, I feel like he'll be able to go along and do well in a celebrity conversation. Because he's studied a lot of things, should he also somehow know a lot about "celebrity"-like things? .... even though that's just my own imagination (laughs), he seems to be able to speak well in any kind of conversation.
MatsuJun: MatsuJun (LOLing so hard here)
By process of elimination. Also, don't I have the public image? (as in 'worldly' I think)
Nino: definitely, MatsuJun!
This one is Jun-kun. With celebs, ne....... thinking of it that way, I have a feeling everyone understands. He's definitely completely has the "Hana Yori Dango" image. Just his image is very strong.
Ohno: Nino
It seems like he would be called "cute" alot. (laughs) I think he's deifnitely popular with the career woman type.
Sakurai: isn't it MatsuJun!
Definitely, isn't it MatsJun?! Because no matter what, whenever you think of MatsuJun, he has the celebrity image of Doumyouji Tsukasa from "Hana Yori Dango."
Winner: MatsuJun
Q4: Who do you think is most pouplar among foreign girls?
Aiba: MatsuJun
Because he has well-defined features.
MatsuJun: it's Ohno!
Because Leader is already the one that can communicate well when it comes to things that don't require talking/words. (loud laugh)
Nino: Sakurai
Because no one can speak English except Sho-chan. Even though first you need to be able to communicate, no one besides Sho-chan can even do that.
Ohno: MatsuJun
Before, on a music program, Beyonce called him "cute." (laughs)
*I have looked for this "Beyonce calling MatsuJun cute" incident and can't find it anywhere!! Could it be something that hasn't aired yet? Or maybe Ohno got Beyonce mixed up with Janet Jackson, who I think did call Jun cute when she went on Utawara all those years ago...
Sakurai: Nino
Since he has the most gentle face, it seems he will be well-received by foreign girls. The Japanese boy-type. (laughs)
Winner: MatsuJun
Q5: Who do you think will be most well received by a girlfriend's mom?
Aiba: Nino
Because he's very cheerful and can talk with the mom about things from her generation or anything else. I think he will definitely be liked. He can also do magic and really get the place charged up.
MatsuJun: everyone
Since everyone in Arashi is a good well-to-do person, they will all definitely be well received by a girlfriend's mom. No mistakes here!
Nino: Aiba
Because he's so cheerful. I think he'll do things briskly, and definitely be liked.
Ohno: Aiba
Because he's a good person. (laughs) Everyone in Arashi is a good person, so I think everyone will be well received.... But, Aiba especially seems to exude the feel of a "good person." Therefor, the first is Aiba-chan!
Sakurai: Aiba
Rather, it seems he'll be well received by the dad. He'll drink with him and massage his shoulders too. (laughs) Also, he'll finish up after that by getting along well with the mom. He'll also play with the pet... Somehow it seems he'll be able to get along with everyone in the family. (laughs)
Winner: Aiba

Date: 2009-12-20 04:51 pm (UTC)did they write it in this way 「本物のマツジュン」？
'cause if they did , what it most probably meant was "it's the real thing"
it's a popular phrase used by japanese when they see someone or something that surprised them.
I think that's what's it's trying to say haha I'm still a student LOL

Date: 2009-12-20 04:59 pm (UTC)I totally agree with the very last one. Aiba does seem the type to be loved by his girlfriend's mom. Even my mom loves him to death. Even if my mom's doing something... once she hears Aiba's voice she'll go straight to my laptop and check out what I'm watching.. *LOL*
Thanks for the translations!

Date: 2009-12-20 06:00 pm (UTC)And I don't agree with Nino's "Only Sho can speak English." Nino speaks freaking awesome English for someone who hasn't been to a school like Keio. Granted, I wouldn't care how bad any of them spoke English, I would still talk to them. <3
Thank you for translating!
