The Snapping Point

This is for aoihikari, because she asked for this.

The women are from this Taiwanese talk show called, "Women Rule the World". 


"This is Ohno Satoshi. As you can see, he's a guy."

( Who are you kidding!? )

Fans are really spoiled this season, aren't they? Each time I pass by the magazine section in the bookstore I keep seeing new TV magazines featuring either Aiba or Ohno. I just bought a copy of SODA and +act mini today, here are some photos from them. I apologize for the quality of the pictures as I took them with a digital camera, not a scanner. I'm quite particular about the state of my magazines so I won't be scanning these.



Other than the dubious blue patterned fabric lining the jacket's sleeve, I love the styling for this photo shoot. Ohno's skin color goes with the red jacket in this case, and the addition of the black necklace makes the neck look longer.

The following was taken from Director Okamura Shunichi's Twitter:



"Although this is just from my memory, the top 5 actors who can most quickly memorize their scripts are (in Japanese alphabetical order), Ohno Satoshi, Saotome Taichi, Chihara Junior, Nishijima Takahiro, Baba Toru. The speed at which these 5 people can memorize is greatly surpasses the capacity of the average person."

Okamura Shinichi is a director of stage plays and has written the script for PLAYZONE.

In a previous post, I had translated a segment of Kamenashi Kazuya's radio show, Kase by Kase, in which he mentions Ohno. Kamepi_chan was nice enough to sync the translation with the radio show itself; you can view the video below: 

By the time I finished translating the whole thing, I was so sure that I had read this somewhere before. If you happened to be the person who translated it when the article came out, I apologise! It’s hard to keep track in fandom. 


 
Maniacal Q & A: 5 x 10
On their 10th anniversary, the fans ask Arashi the 50 questions they’ve been wanting the answer to!

This is probably my favorite interview so far this year.

Ask ARASHI anything! Questions from Arashi fans all over Japan pour in as they’re presented in this month’s Orista.

xmonster1603 did an excellent translation of the crosstalk segment of this Orista issue, which you can find here.

 

Taking to the stage with his fearless and sunburnt features is Ohno Satoshi. Starting his busy 10^th year with a bang, Ohno filmed his drama Uta no Oniisan.

 

 

( There are times in my life when I think, "I don't want to lose to Nino!" )

OHNO SATOSHI

He is wholehearted when it comes to his favorite things like art, fishing and dance. Rather than an idol, the air which Ohno-kun exudes resembles more of an artist. Whilst he can calm and soothe the environment around him by just being there, he wows the crowd with his spectacular dances. With a profound personality like his, once you’ve gotten to know him you won’t be able to forget.

( If I hadn't been in Arashi, I'd probably be a traveller by now. )
