Jodie sent this~! dozo! :D

When Nino says "Fumikun" = means aiba ~ his nickname!! They all made new nicknames for each other at the winter concert cuz Ohno got tired of calling Jun "Matsujun" so he started calling him "Junji" then after that they made up new names = Junji, Kazuyo (Nino), Fumikun and i think Sho was Shoichi or Shoji and i can't remember Ohno's but it may have been 'Toshi' from Satoshi.
----------------------------
M(atsumoto): What do we want to do this year? Firstly according to Arashi?
S(akurai): According to Arashi?
M: Yeah
O(hno): What should Arashi do?
A(iba): What do you want to do, should we go on holiday?
(laughter)
M: Work first
S: That's not work
N(inomiya): That's soooo what you do in your private life
O: Where would you go though
S: Where?
A: Where'd we go?
M: I want to go to hot springs
A: Hot springs
S: The five of us?
M: The five of us
N: Somewhere where it snows. In front of the Japan Sea.
A: Japan Sea! Ooh, Japan's sea
N: Like a man
S: Egh!?
(laughter)
A: OK, Japan Sea
N: Well, I thought that speaking of man you'd think of Japan Sea
O: That's right
A: Oh, okay, okay, okay. We'll make that a vacation thing, so, what should we do for work?
O: That'd be...
M: Well we've started J-Storm,
A: Yes
M: And we've released a CD in February. We've released one CD but, it'd be nice to release more and more.
S: (agrees)
M: To be able to say 'this is it' this year
S: 'This is it.' How many is 'this is it'?
A: Yeah
N: We want to know
M: In what level?
N: Like, every week...
M: Nah, every week would get tiresome like my face (all agree on this)
M: So~, may be about...
S: Every other week? (all laugh)
M: (laughing) Every other week is a lot too!
N: It hasn't changed
M: Hasn't changed a bit
N: Every week or every other week
M: Let's see...but...I think we should release something every 2, 3 months
S: Once every 2 months or once every 3 months
M: Yeah
S: Aiba, which one? Which one?
N: Hurry up, which one?
M: Which one? Everyone which one?
A: Let's go with once a month
M: Once a month?
A: Yeah
M: So 12 CDs
A: 12 CDs
M: Singles, in one year
A: yeah
S: Isn't that a little demanding...?
A: Is it?
O: It's demanding...maybe we should stop...
(all laugh)
S: Man, this is such a lazy group
O: (laughs)
M: Ohno, like, don't you have the will to work?
S: 'it's demanding'
(laughter)
S: 'may be we should stop'
A: Okay, so may be it's impossible to go with once a month
O: It's a little impossible
S: But, if it's once every 2 months or every three months then we could do it (all agree)
A: We can go with every 3 months
M, N, O: We could also go with every 2 months
N: We'll have to dance
O: But it doesn't mean that we have to release
(rest): ooh!! That's well said!!
O: Yeah
S: It doesn't mean we're good by just releasing
A: If we're going to release CD's, there's no point if there's no one out to buy them
O: Yeah, yeah. So, if we release CD's every month, we'll end up making something crap and that'd be a big problem
(laughter)
S: You, who are you talking to!?
(laughter)
N: But we're already on the track of releasing monthly.
S: Oh yeah, the next ones coming out in about March isn't it, the one on "Kochikame"
A: Oooh that, "Nice na Kokoroiki"
S: "Nice na Kokoroiki" is something no one says anymore do they. Now and young people don't say it.
M: Yeah, don't say "Nice" or "kokoroiki"
A: Don't people say "nights"?
N: Nights?
S: Nights?
A: "Nice"!
S: You're wearing tights!
(laughter)
A: No I'm not! I told you I'm not wearing them!!
N: Okay, okay, okay, Fumikun don't get so mad.
A: Tights are...
N: okay, okay, okay
M: That is dangerous though
(fade...)

Ohno Satoshi

"There are lots of handsome guys in the world, such as those who are chosen as 'best' something. But I don't want it. It may be good being called "handsome" in general, but a man I really feel handsome or cool must be able to take care of even the tiniest matters.

Therefore, I'm now trying best for becoming such a man. When it comes to my work, I want to be talented for various fields like acting, singing and dancing. It would be best that I could be satisfied with every single work, but I guess it will never happen in the future. I've never been satisfied with my own work so far. But not being able to be satisfied with it should positively affect me. We can grow up in the process of pursuing something, right? Besides, simply I want to be a good daddy. (laugh)

My favorite type is a girl with beautiful eyes. Now, there are some girls called "ganguro" with terrible make-ups, but I want to say "just being natural must be way better" to them (laugh).

How do I change when falling in love with someone? If it's one-sided love, I will go crazy about her day by day and then tell her "I love you" honestly in the end. If she rejects me....I'll feel just "Oops" and then it'll be over. (laugh)

If we've been dating for 6 months? Am I too picky? (laugh) Hm...I won't quarrel with her at all. Probably, we'll stay home together listening to music or chatting because I don't like going out. Therefore, I want my girlfriend to be, more or less, on the same wavelength as me. I don't like horsing around so much about Valentine's Day or Xmas. Instead, I prefer to give her a present on the normal days, and it must make her more happy. I like that."

MS interview prolly 1999

Tamori (host) : So how did people around you reacted to your debut?
Sho : Let's see, I'm a high school student now, and my friends at school are planning to hold a party for me, maybe in December.
Tamori : What will you guys going to do at the party?
Sho : Well, we are talking about getting together to somebody's house and having fun with listening to "A-RA-SHI"
Tamori : I see. What about you, Ninomiya?
Nino : In my case, nobody reacted to this. My friends doesn't say much about my debut, and my mom just said "good for u, congratulations." that's it.
Matsujun : I went to school today, and my friends cheered when I told them that I was going to appear on music station tonight.
Tamori : What a difference from Ninomiya. Are u all right, Ninomiya? You may be hated by your people.
Nino : Yeah, although there are so many people in Japan , I feel somewhat isolated (laugh).
Tamori : How about aiba?
Aiba : My parents run a Chinese restaurant, and everybody is telling me to make the restaurant become popular all over the places in Japan.
Sho : Yeah, like "Aiba Masaki's restaurant!!!"
Aiba : I'm being fooled around like this all the time.
Tamori : Where is the restaurant located? Oh, but if u say the location, everybody will go there and there will be a panic, so may be you shouldn't . What's about Ohno?
Ohno : Well, there are some kids in my neighborhood. And they are so cute.
Others : What are you talking about ??? You are changing the topic!!!
Ohno : Ok, but let me say this. They are so cute. There are six kids, and the sixth one was born just recently.
Sho : How come you're making small talk?
Tamori : Who gave a birth to those six kids, by the way?
Ohno : My neighbor did. She gave a birth to the sixth baby recently, so I went to visit them.
Nino : I have no idea that he talking about.
Tamori : Then did they celebrate your debut?
Ohno : No, but they are really cute. So cute.
Others : ok ok, we got it. Thank you very much.
Tamori : Hey, you guys should pay attention to Ohno from now on.
Others : Yeah (laugh)
Tamori : How did you feel when you heard about debut?
Sho : Well, I thought it would be one type of unit in Jr. cuz there are some units within Jr. but about one week before the official announcement of Arashi in Hawaii, we heard that we were going to make our debut. So we were kinda upset, rather than feeling happy about it.
