Nikkei Entertainment - Nino
OMG. I can't believe I'm translating this! I have a long Sociology exam at Uni tomorrow and what am I doing?! I'm translating the January 2008 issue of Nikkei Entertainment. BTW, I just 'summarized' or roughly-translated Nino's answers so don't be surprised if my grammar or tense suddenly changes to that of a 3rd-person. {I'm soooo sorry!}

About the shoot : Nino looked well wearing a Leather jacket and a "HARLEY" black t-shirt.

The over-all summary : An interview about ARASHI's 2007. Their works discussed by a representative from the whole group, someone who gave insights to the works as an ARASHI member, very different from how fans see things, but then it seemed too natural for him to talk about it.

When the 5 of them have respective visions and have not agreed on something yet, they talk and come up with only one solution, thus, things are never confusing. Also, it explains why ARASHI is such a social phenomenon; they are polite and very courteous.

{or something like that :3}


INTERVIEW:


1. How is ARASHI coping with such a big leap in 2007?
- Seeing that 2007 is our 8th year anniversary, it seems like we are 'aligning' ourselves in preparation for our 10th year anniversary.

While doing individual work, I evaluate and assess my feelings. Because ARASHI is not usually praised excessively, ARASHI is inexperienced in that kind of situation {I guess, it's when people praise they're work or sth}. In Johnny's, ARASHI is only considered as a 'minor' only {probably because they're not that POWERFUL or important to the office}, they are usually given the image as something 'common' so having done a oncert in the famed Tokyo Dome, it was a surreal moment.

After hearing that we'll do a concert at the dome, it was really unbelievable and not even one of us has seen it coming. I haven't had the strength to accept that ARASHI was able to capture a huge number of people. [I AM NOT SURE OF THIS LINE :] When closing the concert, ARASHI has made me possess strength to continue on.

In the beginning part of TIME final in DOME, Sho remembered that on one ARASHI concert there were vacant seats, and there was no typhoon or traffic jam to be the reason of the late arrival of some audience members. The Jrs at that time even danced on that part of the concert hall {the one without much people on it.} It was a really lonely time. To be able to perform in Tokyo Dome again, I understood that the size of the hall is not important, and once again felt the sensation of affirmation from the crowd.

2. Among all the individual projects of the members this year, which one contributed greatly to ARASHI's power?
-If I were to speak of that, it would certainly be "Hana Yori Dango 2" for me. "HanaDan" was like an ignition point for ARASHI.

{I think that in this part he refers to the staff} Seeing the HanaDan and Tensai! Shimura Doubutsen staff watch our concert. It seems like it gives off the feeling that ARASHI is liked as a group.

{THIS PART WILL BE SUMMARIZED.} It seems like ARASHI has come to its sense that they are indeed, amazing. HAHA! ARASHI's members may have been busy with a lot of individual projects, they all return as a part of the group and they are very united and depend on each other very much.

What is funny too is that Leader hasn't done any solo projects this year! Even if he dances a lot in the concert and sings as the main, he still hasn't made an individual project yet! On the other hand, I can say that the solo projects this year have been abundant and very prominent. But then, the solo projects that took place this year has also brought change to everyone else.

3. Who among the members changed the most this year?
- Sho. {Then, Nino somethings about during YamaTaro's shooting, Sho was kinda shy around the cast members, hmmm..., and also when he makes mistakes in filming, even small ones, he fumbles that appear funny to Nino.} {Then he moves on with some other things about Sho... XD}

Nino also mentions Shun Oguri as someone who has changed a lot.

Also, I was happy to say that, "ARASHI is friends, and it is a family" (from Sho's words). We are ready to do everything for the sake of each other. In the span of 8 years being together, it seems like we haven't changed a bit.

As for 2007, ARASHI is very happy with the result of sales and looking back on the happenings this year, the fans were very much appreciated. ARASHI is very proud of their fans, and for the fans of ARASHI, there are still more to come soon.



doing this article almost made me cry with joy, even if it's not that polished or whatsoever, it somehow understandable that Nino loves ARASHI this much. ARASHI SAIKOU. :3

PS. There are A LOT of mistakes on my translation, I am sooo sorry. I am not that good you know, I just try my best. But at least, we all get a gist on how Nino reacted on these things. I just hope somebody does a better translation than mine so that it'll be easier to understand and will be more comprehensive. This isn't even the whole article I think.

btw, thanks a lot to Natsume-chan~
