Waratte Koraete - Ohno

It's the first time I watched the show so I don' know if the format is usually like this. They invite a special guest who will be hidden behind a divider. Only the audience can see that person. The other 3 guests behind the divider will have to guess who that person is based on the clues given by random people.

Last October, they invited Ohno to be that secret guest.

**Cast:**
**Joji Tokoro - Host**
**Natsume Miku - Host**
**Katoucha - Guest**
**Yoshizawa Hitomi - Guest**
**Kanning Takeyama- Guest**

Some translated parts:
JOJI: Let's all welcome tonight's special guest!
*audience: kyaaaaaaaah!
Hitomi: Huh?!
Joji: Give him a chair.
Joji: I guess that's how popular he is.
Takeyama: Yeah.
Joji: Okay. So let's move on. Attack!
Joji: "What do you think of this guy?"
Joji: "What do you think of this guy?"
Joji: Hold back your laughter! Here's our first VTR
Lady 1: I love him! I so love him! He looks like a health buff though. I imagine him saying "this is actually good for constipation" while he mixes prunes and yoghurt together then eats it.
Hitomi: A health buff I know is... he's a little small but... is it Tsunku san?
Takeyama: Is Tsunkusan a health buff?
Hitomi: He's really a health buff!
Takeyama: Really?
Joji: There's still another hint okay. Hold back your laughter!
Lady 2: *laughs* What's there to say?
Lady 3: "Carbonara"
Lady 3: Well, doesn't he look "creamy" (*I totally agree!*)
Katoucha: What a clue!
Takeyama: One of my juniors eat nothing else but carbonara!
Joji: Oh! Take a stab at it!
Takeyama: Toori Miyuki!
Joji: Wrong. Wrong one.
Takeyama: She eats nothing but carbonara!
Joji: Hold back your laughter!
Lady 4: Ah! He shops with his mom! At the department store! (*Scuse me... he's ordering by mail now. lol)
Lady 4: It's a department store so it looks like he's definitely spotted a shop that he likes.
Hitomi: Kojima Yoshiosan?
Hitomi: Wrong one huh?
Takeyama: He's not like that!
Joji: Since he's been mentioned, this guy doesn't do this. (Waves frantically in the air)
Joji: Hold back your laughter!
Lady 5: He looks someone who belonged to the farming committee when he was young. Like during summer vacation. He looks like he used to take care of rabbits and turtles.
Guy 1: He also looks like he'll curse the whole world if his turtle dies.
Hitomi: Ishihara Yoshizumi?
Joji: He looks that type right? He looks like he can curse the world.
Joji: Hold back your laughter!
Lady 6: Ah, he looks like a guy who goes to the onsen (hot spring)
Lady 7: He looks like someone who goes to Atami.
Takeyama: Atou Kai-san?
Joji: Hold your back your laughter!
Lady 6: He seems like he doesn't go with anyone and that he does it by himself.
Lady 7: He seems to enjoy spending time alone.
(*Ohno gives a nod*)
Joji: Katou-san?
Katoucha: He loves spending time alone? Shimuraken?!
Joji: Wrong.
Joji: Hold back your laughter!
Lady 8: His eyes are pretty. He's got some kind of a devilish look. (*Of course! He's MAOU isn't he?)
Takeyama: Hino Shouhei-san?!
Takeyama: No doubt devilish!
Joji: Hold back your laughter!
Announcer: This is our special guest's special hint.
Announcer: May it be in his house or in a hotel room, he doesn't sleep on the bed. He sleeps on the couch. He likes sleeping in quite difficult positions.
Takeyama: Matsuoka Shuusou-san?
Joji: Hold back your laughter.
Lady 9: Dark!
Lady 10: He's dark isn't he?
Lady 10: Especially lately. He's so dark.
Takeyama: Monomonta-san?
Joji: I see... Hold back your laughter!
Lady 11: He's cool.
Lady 12: He's handsome!
Lady 11: I want him to be my boyfriend.
Lady 11: Wouldn't that be great?!
Lady 12: Yes!
Lady 11: Once is good.
Lady 11: I'm gonna suck the energy out of him. (*This is an obaa-san speaking. lol)
Katou: Oguri Shun!
Joji: I see... Wrong!
Joji: Hold back your laughter.
Guy 2: Well, I heard he loves fishing. I was really surprised coz he looked like someone who wasn't interested in anything(*Scuse me again. lol. He drew even before he fished.*)
Lady 13: There are a lot of points leading to that conclusion.
Guy 2: In his group, I think he's the best singer and dancer.
Hitomi: I got it!!! Ohno-san!!! (*Wow!!! The last clue was definitely a give away. I wouldn't have guessed it through the first clues either.)
Joji: You got it!

The divider goes behind the wall and joins the other guests.

Joji: How was it?
Ohno: Well... I often get those... those impressions.
Joji: Someone said that you looked like someone who'll snap off and curse the worl if your turtle died?
Ohno: But I was really in the farming committee.

~~ Whew!!! I loved this!!!

If I were to give a clue... I would've given some really fine details like
1. his birthday is tomorrow... Nov 26... Happy birthday Ohno!!!
2. He's 28 right now so he'll be 29 tomorrow. (I made a little blooper here, original post contained Ohno was 29 turning 30. Ooooopsie. Sorry. ^_^ Thanks to Amy who corrected me.)
3. he's good at painting. in fact he once held an exhibit which featured his crafts and it was named "Freestyle"
4. he was first given the lead role in Maou...
all Ohno fan-girls definitely have more. ^_^

List of Subbed Clips

2. I sub whatever I find interesting.
3. They are sprinkled here and there with my comments.
4. I added some effects to the videos.
5. I'll only be doing this on my free time so I may sometimes leave this un-updated for several days or weeks.
6. I bet there are teams subbing the full shows but then again, consider my subbed clips as an option. ^_^

My Collection

Not much I know coz I just started buying their stuff last quarter of last year. But these are some of my treasured possessions.
blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com













I'm so happy!

I just received my copy of Arashi's latest single. (Yeah, a bit late coz I'm a thousand miles from Japan).

I enjoyed the PV. I also loved the behind-the-scenes footages. Arashi's so funny! I think they had a hard time containing their laughter! I did! I was smiling all the time.

Parts that I loved... When Jun called Aiba and they talked over the phone. They went like:
Jun: What's up?
Aiba: I'm filming a promotional vid.
Jun: Me too!
(They were sitting next to each other! And they were both filming "My Girl's" PV!lol these two!)

Ohno was also there, spaced out... Staring back at his cellphone. Jun dialled his number and Ohno went like "Oh!" (There's a phonecall for me) but he wasn't able to answer it. Then his phone rang again. When he saw that it was Jun he stood up and playfully hit Jun.

It's funny! And I love it!

[Screencaps] VS Arashi -- Arashi vs Pro Yakyuu OB team

I love this episode because Arashi's +1 member is my number 1 favorite "New Half" -- Haruna Ai!

And this episode's full of Sho's "epic fail" moments, which makes him more adorable!

blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com


Highlights:

In the latest VS Arashi episodes that I've watched, I noticed that Sho was either in the control or sidelines during the show's "Cliff Climb" segment. Well, we all know how Sho loves high places! Close to negative infinity! lol.

But in this episode, Sho is paired up with Ohno (Ojii team strikes again!).

The talk before the climb:
Announcer: The pro baseball players showed us a different kind of strength, giving them a big lead of 135 points.
Ohno: We're dead.
Sho: Ohno and I will work together to reach the top and get the 50-point bonus to turn the table around.
Ohno: Mmm...
Harunai: Will it turn out okay?
Nino: It's going to be fine!
Jun: I get your point guys but... Sho , you suck at this, right?
Sho: Well... I've been thinking about this lately but it's like... I don't actually suck at cliff climbing... it's just that... I hate heights! I hate it so much that I can't even motivate myself to go all the way up there!
Nino: Sho, you're going last right?
Sho: I've devised a plan... This person here (referring to Riida) is going for those at the top. So I'll be going sideways instead of upwards.
Jun: If you go all the way up, you'll get the 50-point button right?
Sho: Yes, yes, yes. That's right! This person's going to the top. I'll be taking these 5-point buttons then he'll be in charge of the rest.
Pro Baseball team: I see.
Nino: What the hell is that?
Jun: I get what he's saying. But the question is "Can you guys actually do it"?!
Ohno: We'll work harder! (Serious face, stares at Sho, who stares back with the same serious face)
Jun: Look here (pointing at the right side)... You have up to the pink bar. You just need one more bar to be able to reach the top.
Nino: That's right! It looks possible.
Aiba: Yeah! Riida will go for a hundred seconds and for the remaining 20 seconds, Sho'll go all the way up there (pointing to the right)
(Sho nods and gives a thumbs up)

Announcer: So will Arashi team be able to turn the table around with the opponent leading by 135 points? By the way, you guys can't see this from below but at the top most part of this wall, there are 3 50-point buttons waiting for you. The button that's been pressed by the first climber can not be pressed again by the second climber. That's why if the 2nd climber takes the same route as the first, he'll have to make some adjustments at the end.

Ohno: Oh, I see.
Sho: Are you serious?!
Nino: You'll be fine Sho-chan! The route you just discussed with us is fine!
Jun: Riida's going for the center buttons and you, Sho, are going for the buttons on the right side.
Ohno: I'm going to be in charge of the center right?
Sho: If I get confused with which button to choose, which one will I press? The left or the right?
Ohno: Please just go for the right (migi, button on the right) button!
(Sho's really so adorable here! ^_^)

Announcer: Well then, let's play! Your 120 seconds... starts... now!

Jun: Riida secure that 50-point button please!

Announcer: Arashi team's Ohno-kun is now on the run
2 5-point buttons pressed
4 5-point buttons

Jun: Bar! Bar! Bar!

Announcer: What'll he do? Without any grip he goes on.
10-point button pressed.
What's next? What's next?

Sho: Go!

Announcer: A minute and 20 seconds left.
There's still time!
He takes the 5-point button.
They already have 45 points!
Here's the grip!
Oh he misses the grip from Haruna-san!
Here's another!
Another miss!
1 minute left!
1 minute left!
How about this grip?
He misses it again!

Pro Baseball: This is bad!

Announcer: What'll he do?
There are no grips left.
How about this?
Oh he misses it again!
He drops the grip!
Here's another one.
He catches it!

Nino: Riida, we don't have any grips left!

Announcer: They need one more grip for Sho's plan.
What'll Riida do?
He's on the difficult part of the wall.
(Ohno's shoe almost falls!)

Ohno moves up!

Haruna Ai: Cool!

Announcer: 20 seconds!
What'll he do?

(Riida looks at Nino and Haruna for the last grip. Nino looks at Sho who looks back with a worried face. Nino laughs. Sho's really adorable here!)

Announcer: The last grip!
Riida's going for the 50-point button!
He got it!
Time's up!

Nino: Ah! How bad!

Announcer:
Game over!
(This is the first time I've seen Aiba laugh this way! Sho seems to be in shock!)

Sho's shocked state:

Ohno got 105 points all by himself!

Nino: Riida, it's okay for you to come down! (Scripted game? ^_^ Anyhow, it's cute!)

Announcer: He wasn't able to get all the grips but Riida did a nice job on his own!

Aiba: That was great!
Nino: You did your best!
Jun: Well this is okay. Since you weren't able to get the grips.
Aiba: You did your best!

Annoncer: Riida got 105 points all by himself!

Nino: Even though we sucked at throwing you the grips, you still did your best.

(Here's the cutest part)
Sho: Nino! Nino! (Motioning for Nino to throw him a grip. He looked like he just had a nervous breakdown!)Caption: Nino!
Sho: Nino! (Starts climbing and everyone says "Eeeeee~!)

Nino: Sho-chan, I'm sorry but...
Sho: Aaaaa~! (When he sees the grip Ohno dropped more than a minute ago acting as if he was the one who dropped it! lol, this guy!)Caption: Aaaaa!!

One more grip!
Nino: Sorry... I'm sorry... It's over...
Sho: It's not yet ove~r!
Haruna Ai: It's over.
Sho: It's not yet over!

Caption: It's over

Caption: (Mada owattenai yo!) It's not yet over!

LOL! Sho-chan! You made my tummy hurt from laughing! (^x^)

Arashi All the Best 5x10 Clips (Review and some translation)

First, I was having problems with playing the DVD. It said something like "copyright protection"... I know I have an original copy. I bought it through CDJapan. Windows Media player doesn't want to play it. The versatile VLCplayer doesn't want to play it. Only POWERDVD played it. Whatever, I just wanted to play it.

I translated some parts and commented on some parts, which I decided to post here.

I don't keep a collection of their PVs. I have watched these videos before already but I don't keep a copy. I'm glad that I bought the clips collection coz at least now, I have a collection.

I'll start with Disc 2.
Kitto Daijoubu
- Ohno talks about the PV and how they managed to shoot a scene where Nino took off his hat/cap then threw it to Ohno then Ohno threw it back to Nino who managed to catch the cap with his head.
- This PV was so "flashy" or in Japanese "hade".

Aozora Pedaru
- Ohno talks about the moment he and Aiba almost accidentally kissed on the lips - the part where they both jumped onto the platform (I don't know what it's called but it's that platform they use to jump over during Physical ed class)(^_^)
- It feels warm inside, hearing this song coz I think this was the very first Arashi song I fell in love with. And in the PV, Sho's quite a heartbreaker huh. (^_^)

Love So Sweet
- This song is my alarm tone. I wake up everyday to this song. When I heard the intro, my heart jumped. (^w^) All I can say is that this video is so pretty. I like the colors, the way it was shot, the concept. I love everything. If I had to give it an award, I'll go with "Classiest PV". Jun talks about how meaningful the song is and how different it was coz there were other people who appeared in the PV.

We Can Make It
- Aiba talks about this PV... Well, I think this is an ordinary one. I didn't like it so much. Even when I watched it before, white background, lines and planes of colors... It wasn't that interesting. But I noticed how good Riida danced compared to everyone. Especially the last part. I didn't know that someone could do those steps in a manly manner -- which Riida perfectly executed. Man! That guy's amazing! He's really talented!

Happiness
- I love how Ohno recalls the best details of their PV shootings. Like I think if I heard correctly, he was trying to recall the circumstances while they were doing the PV of "Happiness". Before he introduced the song, he put on the headphone and sang to "Kumori Nochi Kaisei" and says (funnily) "This ain't the song! This is my song!" (^_^)
I've said this many times already before but I'm gonna say it again -- my all time favorite Arashi PV would be "Happiness". I love it! The colors are so bright, the house where they shot the PV was amazing. The sunlight was wonderful. And it's baka baka Arashi. Like they weren't shooting a PV, they were just playing, goofing around! There were a lot of Ohmiya, Juntoshi, Aini, ShoxOhno... I really love it!

Step and Go
- There was a Juntoshi at the end of the talk! <3> "Kimi ha boku no subete sa" - You're my everything
> "Kimi ga ireba nanimo iranai" - I don't need anything else as long as you're with me.

Truth
- Ohno: "During this time I was really dark. It was when I started fishing. And everything looked so bright compared to me. I was really surprised that there was an orchestra. Then when the song started, it was like "jajan-jajan" and those in the orchestra did this (demonstrating a violinist dragging the bow downards), it was really cool! I was the only who didn't see it from the start. But when I finally watched it, I was really surprised. And in that orchestra, all the women had their legs like this (together, knees to the side) and only one person whose legs are spread this way (spreading his legs to demonstrate). I asked myself "Why is that person the only one with legs spread?" I was thinking about that all the time. We took the dancing scene several times. Aiba and Sho weren't in sync. So we had to stop a lot of times. The next day I still had to shoot for Maou. So I begged them! I was like "I'm begging you!" We had a lot of mistakes but when we finally got it I think it was the best scene (in that PV). During the filming of Maou, I was really thin and (he said something about his hair).
Maou was the first drama I had that I was the lead actor. 2008 was really hectic you know. People are still listening to it and a lot of people say that it's pretty cool. It's a success after all, wasn't it?"
- This song was released during the height of my fanaticism. Yeah! Late bloomer here. lol. So it sorta brings back a lot of memories. I'd tag this as their "Coolest PV". Coz the song is cool, the orchestra was cool, the drama was cool... But I didn't see that person with her/his legs spread wide. I was looking for it. lol

Kaze no Mukou He
- Aiba: "Right... I remember this song very well. I remember that day vividly. Everyone was really excited when we arrived at the set. Then we shot the PV. How long was it? (I thought you could remember it pretty well? ^_^) 3 to 4 hours? About 3 to 4 hours. After we took the PV, we still had another song - "Truth" (That explains why Aiba and Sho weren't in sync! Maybe they're tired.) I was already sweating bullets coz after "Kaze", we had "Truth"... I was thinking "Am I this bad at dancing?!". It was the first time I made that much mistakes. Really! If I saw a hole, I would've stuffed my head in there! (That bad Aiba? Aww...) Eeee... What am I talking about?! I'm supposed to talk about "Kaze no Mukou He" right?! Why am I talking about "Truth"?! I'm not introducing "Truth" right?! I'm really very sorry. But I want you to watch this with max excitement because we did it with max excitement!"
- This is another one of the songs falling under the "I'm not so fond of it" list. ^..^ I don't know why but it ain't really my type of music. Or maybe, it's under the "sometimes I love it, sometimes I don't" list.

Beautiful Days
- (With the first few words, you'll be able to get what PV Nino's talking about.)
- Nino: Well... there were a lot... of stuff like stars and lines coming out... They told us to give life to these shapes. So everyone did it... Everyone did it... (Some stuff missing... I didn't understand what he was saying.) This is quite a good package. "Beautiful Days... Wasurerarenai... Boku ga boku de aru tame ni..." (He hesitates.. Did he really forget?! He looks at whatever it was then says) "A! It's "Boku ga Boku no Subete". I really forgot! (Takes the CD) Let me say it one more time, correctly. "Beautiful Days, Boku ga Boku no Subete, Wasurerarenai"... "Boku ga Boku no Subete?" "Boku ga Boku no Subete"? Which one? "Boku ga..." "Boku ga Boku no Subete"? "Boku ga Boku no Subete"...." (Lol funny Nino!")
- I love this song. It brings back all the good memories of my fangirlism (I just saw "Ashita no Kioku" on Channel V!! Watching them on tv makes me happy! Really! Imagine how hyper I'd be if we had TBS, NTV, FujiTV, TVAsahi on our local cable!) Anyway, back to "Beautiful Days"... This brings back good memories. Arashi's songs are like time-stamped, memory loaded entries. They bring back memories of the days they were released. Even thoughts of non-Arashi related things come rushing in.
Believe
- Sho: Well, "Believe" you know is this year's first best-seller. (for Arashi, and this is the first Arashi album I bought!) It's already 2009?! We're already in year 2009. This was used as the soundtrack of the movie I did called "Yattaman". And the place where we shot this is the same place where we shot the scenes from the movie. About my impression on the PV... Well I guess it's a cool PV. So, please watch "Yatta..." o sorry, wrong one... "Believe".

Ashita no Kioku
- Sho: (While thinking deeply, sees the camera) You again?! Well then, let me introduce myself again. I'm Sakurai Sho. Hmmm... About "Ashita no Kioku" huh? This was also taken in the same studio where we shot "Believe". We all sang while we were seated. While doing the PV, we took pictures of ourselves. We placed those pictures on the wall. And those memories that we stuck on the wall became a flower in the end. Like a flower, treasured memories are capable of blossoming. I don't know if this was shown in the PV but while all 5 of us were sticking the pictures on the wall, the moment we get past the camera frame we kept on doing foolish things. The song strongly reminds me of "The Quiz Show". (It was the theme of Sho's drama) - This is yet another song that I love. I love the melody and the meaning of the song. And I love subdued Arashi. I love how Arashi transforms from a pack of foolish kids to subdued and grown up artists.

Crazy Moon/ Kimi ha Muteki
- This had a long intro... Because they practically showed the making of the PV.
- Details of the intro:
> Nino and Aiba were wearing masks. It seems that they both had colds. But Aiba was worse
> Ohno made a mistake which makes him and Sho laugh at the end of that take.
> Nino was singing "Kumori Nochi Kaisei" while Ohno was busy memorizing the dance for "Crazy Moon"... Nino's such a nughty kid!
> Aiba says to the cameraman "I'll do it in one shot". But ends up not hearing his cue to start singing because he gets carried away so he misses the cue and asks for another take.
> Ohno used to (mukashi, back in the old days) go to night clubs in Shibuya. If I heard it right, they had like time brackets? Or names for the days. "Monday/Sunday, Friday Far Away (lolz)". It's funny.^_^

After the song "Crazy no Muteki", they appeared once again, doing a "Not so secret talk XP". Then these stuff came up:
What's your favorite PV?
Aiba - Happiness (sou ne? atashi mo sou omou yo)
Riida - Hadashi no Mirai (because the filming finished early)
Jun - Naiso no Kokoroiki
Nino - Believe
Sho - ... i don't know what he said.

Speaking of PVs they liked, the conversation went to the PV they wanted. Of course everyone liked going out to shoot PVs (roke- location):
Nino: Where do you want to have it (PV filming)
Aiba: Abroad.
Nino: Abroad?
Aiba: Abroad.
Aiba: Shooting PVs abroad makes me feel like I'm an artist.
Nino: I see.
Aiba: That's just what I imagine.
Ohno: But we haven't yet.
Aiba: No overseas PV.
Jun: If we were to shoot overseas, where would you want to go?
Aiba: I'd like to try L.A.
Sho: Why?
Aiba: Nothing, I just have that image in my head.
Nino: Well then if you really want to feel like an artist, New York's the place to go.
Jun: I wanna go to Hawaii.
Aiba: I wanna go too.
Jun: No I mean, I wanna go to Hawaii and do what we did when we just started and shoot a PV. Like what we did 10 years ago. (I think he means they'll do exactly what they did 10 years ago then put that on a PV together with their 10-year old videos and pictures. It'll be more like a compilation. I think he's got a good idea. Jun has a lot of good ideas, I think)

In the end, someone from the staff brings in a cake. Arashi sings "happy bitrhday" to themselves and blow the candles. There's a cardboard bus in the center of the cake so when they blew the candles, the bus fell. The funny part is Jun shouts "Oh my God!" hahaha. It was cute how he said it. I listened to it over and over.


This is the first time I watched the animated version of "Believe". It's amazing! I was showing it to my sister and I was saying "Look! This is Jun! This is Sho! This is Ohno! This is Aiba! This is Nino! (これ 続いて ほしい なぁ~。。。)

November 2009 - [Nino] As a husband? and some screencaps on the HnA "Araoke" SP

Credits:
Scans: Caramelbox
Re-upload: Freyka@ArashixDream

Involuntary Proposal!

Nino's image as a husband

The excitement rises with the shooting of "Himitsu no Arashichan! 2-hour Fall Special" as the 5 guys go on location all together after a long time.

Nino: The "Araoke" right? There were salary men who sang Arashi's songs. It was my first time to see employees with their neckties tied around their heads! They really do exist! (In fact Sho said "I only see it in dramas")


We asked Nino about HnA's new segment "On the spot! Dinner Ala Arashi" after he was paired up with Shimai Miyukisan.

Nino: It was fun!

No matter how absurd Shimaisan was, he always had a smile in his face saying "It's okay! It's okay!". What a very lovely husband!

Nino: Thank you very much. Whenever I'm with the guys (other members of Arashi) too, the atmosphere's always that way. The atmosphere's kinda gentle. I can't talk to them harshly that's why. That's how the "carrot and stick" approach is done. (he used 'ame to muchi' that's translated to english as "carrot and stick". I didn't actually know what this meant but I looked around and learned that this approach came from the act of hanging a carrot on a stick to make a horse follow it and consequently move forward. The less literal meaning is that someone's being treated as a child -- Nino's treating them as a child.)

In the future, even though you're already married, you'll still stay this way huh?

Nino: I guess so. I think it'd be good if we just didn't talk about trivial things. We should just enjoy and have fun. I'm not really a fan of arguments. But if I think that it's really necessary for us to talk, I think it'd be best if we talked and settled it all at once.

Lovely! Then go get married!

Nino: Exactly. That's what everyone thinks. But I think that'd be a bit of a trouble.

But what if she accidentally erases your saved games data? Will you get mad?

Nino: It's fine! I'll make sure that she won't be able to delete those data anyway.




Arashi graces Araoke! (Screencaps below)

Everyone from Arashi is looking forward to this shooting because it's been a long time since they went on location with all 5 of them present. (Arashi welcomes everyone to the "Araoke" Karaoke Bar). Arashi hijacks a famous karaoke chain where they offered a "1 food, 1 drink" promo for the customers who gained at least 80 points for any Arashi song that they sang. The 5 stayed on standby while monitoring the customers until the latter made their song choices. Once an Arashi song is chosen, the 5 burst into the rooms while singing the song selection.

Nino: When "Love So Sweet" came out, we were really happy!
Sho: When these office ladies and men sang "A.Ra.Shi", we were really happy.

With their hearts beating against their chests, all 5 looked at the monitor, they looked like they were enjoying themselves.

Ohno: "Truth" is a pretty hard song to sing but someone still sang it. So it's really cool!
Jun: It's good to see the excitement rise while people are singing Arashi songs.
Aiba: It's like everyone's embracing Arashi. We rarely get this chance. It was really fun.



Some screencaps on the HnA episode where they hijacked a videoke bar. ^_^ I'm so envious!!! Here's the "Araoke" Nino was talking about





But the real name is "Karaokekan". I think they only turned it into "Araoke" (for Arashi karaoke)


They noticed the building and said "Araokekan?" then Jun said "Isn't it Karaokekan?"


The challenge for Arashi was that they'd stay til all 5 of these songs are chosen. (They stayed past 2 am, they were there at around 6 pm!) They had to run to the room where these songs were chosen.


The first customers for the night. When they entered, one of them noticed the Arashi poster on the wall immediately. She looked like a fan. On the subtitle "Ja Arashi ireru?" (Well, let's go with an Arahsi song)


They mentioned "Hana Yori Dango" because one of them liked Matsujun. So it fired up the guys and the guys started guessing what song they'll sing. Then the girls chose

Which made Jun go

Then the 5 ran to the room to surprise the girls who chose their song.
Here they are outside the room, waiting for the right timing to barge in.


The reaction! I think if I was there, I'd faint right after I saw them. lol Errr... No... Right after they leave the room! I don't want to miss out on that chance!


Here's the next one which shocked Arashi
They had masks on. I don't exactly who were on the masks but I think I saw Nino and Sho... And of course, there was Yamapi. They chose "Happiness" but they sang it with different lyrics. Apparently it was for their friend's birthday? I guess.


Another good reaction, with mouth agape. lol. These guys are definitely jaw-dropping so I don't find their reactions weird.


Finally, here's the one Nino mentioned


A man tying his necktie around his head. He didn't believe that they really existed until he saw this... And this was backed up by Sho who said
"I've only seen it in dramas"
