I found something pretty interesting today while I was surfing on the net, specifically JapanTimes (it's bad that I read Japan's news and not my own local one).And they have this VIEW ON THE STREET sorta column where the recent question was "If you could meet any living Japanese person, who would it be?"

I'm proud to say (and see) that Sakurai Sho was one of the answers!
It'd be pretty interesting if this person was in the community. Although, Sho-chan...is probably a singer first before actor (coz he's in Arashi)...anyone has any thoughts of this? 

My point was just that it was cool to see one of the Arashi members' names pop up in a hard news website. :)

hmm.. I don't think its unusual because Sho is an idol...
so he didn't really made a move... singing and acting is part of him being an idol. :D

but yeah its interesting to see their names in a hard news website... let alone foreign news. XD

I hope someone informed her that he was a singer first -.-' so no move made plus in Asia it's normal to do both

Wow! Pretty interesting, but yea, she just contradicted herself.
"made the move from singing to acting..."
But not like I care. I'm just proud.

I'm not trying to be a douche or anything but (since I made the same mistake at the beginning) , I just wanted to point out that she did not contradict herself. :)) I think she said "made the move to singing from acting..." instead of "from singing to acting..." :D

But yes, pretty interesting. I wish I'd hear more of or about Arashi in my country especially since Kis-My-Ft2 released their single here already. :D

Nope, totally not a douche! It's my fault for seeing it wrong. :D

I actually don't want to hear more about Arashi in my country (USA.) Too many opiniated people who don't care to be kind with their words.

Good, good. :) :D :D :D
Really? Maybe it's just me, being fed up with too much K-Pop exposure, but I'm quite relieved it's not as "exposed" as it was before (at least i hope it isn't anymore). I guess people here, are still generally kind with their words when it comes to their opinions. :O As far as I have observed.

I know that feeling of being fed up with KPop exposure. Most people in my culture only know Kpop and anime. I think that's not anyone's fault though, because the Japanese don't really market their music internationally.

Sadly, I think the hallyu wave is still ongoing.

Hello Cali fanperson!

Sadly, I live in a very boring place that is WI. I hear nothing about fans in USA too, believe me. I mean even on lj also (though I have one or two American online fans, but still not much.) There was a boom here once with Arashi fan communities for different regions and I expected to see one for Americans made. But there was none :P There is that site AAA (ArashiAroundAmerica) but I'm not even sure they do anything.

Anyone who's been in the Japanese fandom long enough will know that it's common for male idols to debut as singers and branch off into acting. Maybe she's new... But still good to know Arashi is finding fans everywhere! :D

Somebody tell Laura to Google "Sho Sakurai" and see that it's part of his job as a Japanese idol to be able to sing, dance, and act.

I mean, if she was really into the movie and interested in Sho, she'd be doing a research on him/the movie and will eventually be a obsessedinvolved fangirl, because it's inevitable to be fanning over Arashi. That's how I got into this mess in the first place.

Even if you're not a big fan, it's basically impossible to live in Japan without walking into pictures of Arashi everywhere.

well, judging by the fact that she said that, I'm going to assume she doesn't really know about Arashi ^^;; so I doubt she's in this community? But maybe she will be.. soon enough XD

Definitely any member of arashi, if I have to choose one, I'd choose hamburger claw. I just need to see him in person.
Outside arashi, probably namie, hikki and toda erika.

I feel so proud whenever any of the boy's names get mentioned in english publication... XD It doesn't matter whats written about them, as long as they're there!!

Ms Laura is standing at the brink of a cliff. If she jumps down, she'll find herself in a very deep valley called the 'Arashi Fandom Valley' <3 XD

I mean, she's so close! If only she were curious enough to google him :)

I am proud to be one of his fans. That's all I can say.
My dream is to go to Japan because of Chemistry.
My wish is that to be able to meet Sakurai Sho in the most beautiful circumstance.

That is pretty cool!

And yea, she probably didn't get to read much about Sho's background, coz he was a singer first.
But actually, in Asia, it's not rare that a singer will become an actor or vice versa...actually that is what usually happens...

What I find funny about Sho is how has he become a singer, then rapper, then actor, and then NEWS caster. He really has the smarts and the skills ne^^

Even though what she said didn't encompass everything Sho does, it is good that Sho is recognised and from that she may get to know the other members if she doesn't know already
