CAM CAM 2009 - Arashi's perspectives on romance

[barbosa2007]

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?!

i'm cracking alot!! though their answers are slightly the same likee other paaast interview, still amusing too read
and yeah, it's weird of Nino to choose ocean as dating spot, or he meant by seaside actually....? lol
ROFL Ohno's fave gesture still the same like his mentioned in Mago Mago XDDDDDDDD

thanks alot for translated it ^^

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the translation~

Nino: A considerate girl who speaks Japanese and likes me.
This reminds me of another article where they were asked the 3 conditions for a wife, and Nino said "She has to be a woman, be able to speak Japanese, and let me have some free time", lol. When I read that, I thought "Yay, I fit all of those requirements!", hehe :D This time I fit all 3 as well, yay~~ (At least, I'd like to think I'm considerate, hehe). It seems like he's always hung up on the speaking Japanese thing, lol, but maybe that actually means foreigners have a chance, right? Otherwise he wouldn't have to mention it as a condition, hehe xD (He also seems to often mention how amazed he is that foreign fans are able to speak Japanese, so maybe he's got a thing for us, lol)

[yobu.livejournal.com]

i don't really know whose type i am. i'm kinda a mix for all. though i wish i was aiba's xD
but i can't actually be called hardworking =x it kinda depends on the job though.
