It's a testament to how awesome this week's VSA was when I took about 60 odd screencaps from the episode. There's just so much love in the house! And it's not just within Arashi. ♥ ♥ ♥

This duo may just be my new OTP for this drama season.

And we get gratuitous shots of Jun because VSA producers know that fangirls are dying to analyse his new hair.


Did you catch the subtle Nino-Ai in this!?

The VSA stylist probably decided to lessen the trolling on Nino's outfits. Still, it looks like someone stuck last year's Christmas stockings on a granny sweater. Ohno, on the other hand, looks delectable.

Aiba tries to summarize the drama for those who haven't seen it. "Erm, it's full of doctors, and everyone's kinda cut off from each other."

Tabe Mikako is trying very hard not to laugh at Aiba's interpretation of the story line.

Kohinata Fumiyo, on the other hand, doesn't bother. (I love this veteran, by the way. He's awesome! Catch him in Hero, he was so cute.)

Does anyone remember Takashima Masahiro!?? He's actually acted with 2 other Arashi members! I bet you don't remember which dramas he's been in.

With Ohno in Mou Yuukai Nante Shinai...

With Sho in the NazoDi SP...

And again with Ohno in Kagiheya. This man is a chameleon!

Then Aiba explains this cute anecdote of how he ended up drinking with Takashima till the wee hours of the morning despite having met him for the first time.

Oh, guess what? Leader was involved!

He was supposed to turn out for their dinner but he dumped the both of them! (For a night fishing trip, perhaps?)

"Aiba was chugging down his gin tonic like there was no tomorrow!"

"I had to! I wouldn't survive our first meeting otherwise!'

This shot was so cute!And Ohno was smokin' hot. Will their onscreen chemistry translate into actual results!?

Apparently not. But check out their mutual disgust at their abysmal results!

Notice Matsumiya's wonderful side-eye here.

Last Hope team!!! Apparently this pose was conceived by Aiba on-the-spot and Takashima takes to it straightaway!

OMG, this is my new OTP, you guys. I will now be snickering whenever Takashima gives Takumi Sensei smouldering looks in the drama.

OT3!!! And sneaking in some Takashima in the background. He's awesome, trust me.

More Shameless Plugging for Last Hope.


Am I the only one who's shipping this rather odd couple? Check out their matching expressions! I think it's kinda adorable.

"So show us which guy is the real Arashi!"

The amount of pretty in this screen cap made me forget that yesterday was Sho's birthday.

Remember the other VSA where Ohno insisted on being the second kicker? Because it was written on the schedule.


Ohno's a guy who goes by the paper.

More shameless plugging!

Sho: Are you feeling the pressure from being the 3rd kicker?
Ohno: Not at all.
Sho: What!?

Arashi loves their Aiba. Fact of life.

I love the subtle moments in this VSA. Sho's ball bounces back into the audience and he panicks for a moment until he sees that Nino caught the ball. If you squint hard enough, you can catch Sho mouthing, "Sorry!" at Nino.

To which he's then able to turn his attention back to the game.

Screencap to show tiny Nino holding on to the massive Kicking Sniper ball. ♥



Arashi plugging Last Hope every chance they could get.

Aiba! Why so pretty?

These 3 supporters were hilarious! Stay tuned to their expressions later~

The only reason I took this cap was because Ohno was licking his lips and stroking his index finger. Erm, yeah.


For all his cool guy persona, Kitamura Yukiya's rather nervous about this game. "I was in the basketball club (and we don't kick our balls)."

Takashima, on the other hand, tries to examine his Sniper ball...

Takashima: Er... at which point should I kick the ball?
Aiba: IT DOESN'T MATTER. (That's when Aiba starts to get really stressed.)


You gotta catch this moment where Takashima and Aiba were pointing at each other and Kitamura stands by the side, somewhat aloof.



More pretty~!

Catch the Last Hope signs made by all 3 guys! Can you tell why I adore this team!?

Aiba's greatest fear was materialized because Kitamura and Takashima MAJORLY SUCK at Kicking Sniper. In fact, they suck so badly, the supporters just lost it! Check out Kohinata's backward fall from the Takashima-Kitamura fail.

Even Nino's excited! As J would say, this is ENTERTAINMENT, guys.

Kitamura's kick oddly looks like a Bruce Lee pose, but it doesn't garner him any points.

Kinoshita and Ohno: (in their minds) We've got this one in the bag~


Tabe Mikako looks adorable when stressed.



What? Could it be?


Aiba saves the day!! That's the Miracle Boy for you. I won't tell you how, you've gotta watch it for yourself!



Last Hope love~ I'm adoring this team. Now I just wish Tanabe Seiichi was there...

The classic Aiba-chan smile. Lethal when received straight on.

Aiba: Kitamura-san, were you messing around during Kicking Sniper? (Because you MAJORLY SUCKED at it.)
Kitamura: No, I wasn't. (I tried to tell you I sucked, didn't I?)


And in place of Last Hope, we now have the Last Rope! Time for more Arashi Fail...

Date: 2013-01-25 06:09 pm (UTC)cool team & Aiba was miraculous at its best! he was incredible, concentrated and damn good! I laughed so hard when Aho-chan wished Aiba-chans usually destructive-baka-self comes back as soon as possible (already after the first game)
I guess Aiba can his careless self when he's with the others, but is 100% concentrated when left "alone"
and to convert Last Hope into Last Rope kicked me finally off the sofa~ but I felled sorry for Aiba and Sho-chan jumped out of surprise that he really cut off the rope XD
♥ so much!!

Date: 2013-01-26 02:14 am (UTC)That Takashima, as you said it, a true chameleon! He changed his hair drastically more than any actors I know of XDDD And he perfectly made his character unimpressed so I really couldn't remember his characters (the ones with Arashi!).
Just......I never thought he and Aiba-chan are already that close. I mean, I know Aiba-chan's power, still it's hayai XDD
And reading the audiences' report, Aiba-chan alr befriended Kitamura too! Satsuga!
I alr laughed n couldn't wait to see Kohinata in VSA, esp since his last time was just ....quiet. He just smiled n barely speaking XDDD
YAaaa, too bad Tanabe Seichi wasn't there ne.
Koike Eiko!
Tabe Mikako too
I like the fact this two actress are not the shy n quiet type. So in VSA, it's kinda good to hear them laughed spontaneously^^
In Rolling Viking XDD, the orange zone pair XDDD Dunno, poor Tabe-chan got dragged by the high tension man, esp he's not really that often in charge of that orange zone XDD

Date: 2013-01-26 02:53 am (UTC)Tanabe Seiichi would have been a wicked addition! I was hoping that he'd be there. I really like his character in the drama.
Yamakaze's report of Aiba actually puting his head in between Yukiya's knees and calling him Yukiya-san (instead of Kitamura-san) is just <3

Date: 2013-01-30 06:44 pm (UTC)i still remember when she came as a guset in Mote dame arashi..she was very talk active and not afraid explaining her opinion XD
and i just remember, kitamura yukiya was in saigo no yakusoku too..maybe this is one of the reason why he already close with aiba XD

Date: 2013-01-30 06:53 pm (UTC)Kitamura was in Saigo no Yakusoku too? I gotta check out that drama again then.
