The members of Arashi under a gruelling ten-bout of Q & A by Cam Cam magazine.
Q1: If you were a girl, which Arashi member would you date?
Ohno: Aiba-chan. I wanna go on a golf date with him!
Jun: I don’t want to date any one of them!
Sho: Nino. That guy does magic tricks, so it seems like he’ll pull out one or two when the conversation runs dry.
Nino: Everyone’s good looking so I’d go out with any one of them. (laughs)
Aiba: Nino, I guess… We like the same physical activities.
Q2: Conversely, which member wouldn’t you want to go out with?
Ohno: Myself. I think we’ll be fishing all the time and it’ll be boring.
Jun: Nino. He seems aloof and will immerse himself in games.
Sho: Ohno-kun. He has a lot of hobbies like drawing and fishing which he does all by himself!
Nino: No one, I think.
Aiba: No one! In fact, I think I could go out with all five of them! Ah, that would include myself, so I actually mean 4 of them. (laugh)
Q3: State 3 qualities about your type of girl.
Ohno: She must be gentle! I don’t really have 3 qualities. It’d be good if she’s gentle.
Jun: Someone who’s smart, is well-balanced and has an attractive personality.
Sho: She’ll be able to laugh, cry and be angered by the same things as myself.
Nino: A considerate girl who speaks Japanese and likes me.
Aiba: A girl with common sense, isn’t overbearing and is hardworking. I think my type of girl hasn’t changed from back then, basically.
Q4: What fashion would your type of girl sport?
Ohno: Casual and simple. Normalcy is the best way to go. When we’re together, just wear anything that’s easy-going without being over the top.
Jun: Something casual? That’s because I’m dressed in jeans and beach sandals today. (laughs)
Sho: Anything, as long as it suits her. But I do hope she considers the time, place and occasion!
Nino: I’m pretty much good with anything. As long as she wears it!
Aiba: I like people who enjoy a wide variety of fashion.
Q5: And the kind of gesture from your favourite girl would be?
Ohno: When she’s throwing something. When girls throw stuff, don’t their wrists become limp? It’s like there’s no snap to it at all. I like that!
Jun: Her attempt to hold onto her hair for dear life so that it doesn’t fall into her ramen? (laughs)
Sho: A cute sneeze that almost looks like it’s fake. (laughs)
Nino: Her smile. It’s not really considered a gesture, but nothing beats a heartfelt smile.
Aiba: I seriously have no idea!
Q6: During this period, where would you go on a date?
Ohno: The ocean! The sea at Shikoku sounds nice, though I’ve only been there for work.
Jun: I guess it’s either fireworks or the festival.
Sho: Barbeque. I just wanna get together with everyone and make lots of noise!
Nino: Kamakura! The ocean! They seem like the standard places to go. [translator’s note: Doesn’t Nino hate the ocean?!]
Aiba: An island. I wanna see the dolphins!
Q7: What kind of praise, when received from the girl you like, would make you happy?
Ohno: “You’re so silly.” (laughs)
Jun: It can be anything as long as she’s genuine about it.
Sho: “I saw you on XX.” Something like that? She doesn’t need to praise me specifically, the fact that she watched the show makes me happy.
Nino: I’m a person who likes to be praised so she can say anything and it’ll make me happy. Like, “Wow, that was great.” I hope to be respected by the girl I like.
Aiba: I’m someone who thrives on praises so I basically welcome any type of praise!
Q8: Which part of a woman would you look at when you meet her for the very first time?
Ohno: Her eyes. This isn’t any particular reason to it, my eyes would just meet hers naturally.
Jun: Her eyes. When we greet each other somehow our eyes would meet.
Sho: Her expression. That’s because their temperament will be reflected in their expression.
Nino: Her fingers. I’m mesmerised by hands which are fair, pretty and slender.
Aiba: Her eyes. I think there are unexpectedly very little people who look straight in the eye of the people they are talking to.
Q9: Do the members of Arashi discuss their love lives?
Ohno: I talked to Sho-kun before in the past. But I hardly talk to anyone about it now! Basically, I solve [all my issues] by myself.
Jun: We virtually don’t do it at all, though we might just discuss it with the person we’re with at that point in time?!
Sho: Although we’re really good pals, we just don’t talk about it since we’re all guys after all. (laughs)
Nino: Nope! We don’t do stuff like discuss our love lives or borrow money. (laughs)
Aiba: We don’t do it in particular, but I’d like to think that we could do it with any other member. It’d feel something like, “Hey, listen…”
Q10: What is love to you?
Ohno: Cooperation.
Jun: One of the three things I need in life. I feel that the big three are nature, work and love.
Sho: Probably comfort and stimulation. Although I would hate for it to be overly stimulating.
Nino: Something that’s good if you have it. I don’t really have a strong desire for love.
Aiba: Frankly speaking, it’s tough?!
