Myojo July 2010: Hey! Say! BEST part

White hair is sprinkled!
I wa~nna be like this kind of grandpa♪
Assuming that 60 years passed, and they grew old completely... what kind of grandpa do they want to become? While fluttering their white hair, they will tell their ideal grandpa!


A dandy grandpa fragrancing the coffee
Yaotome Hikaru
When I become a grandpa, I think I will be a coffee shop master. I will be a tasteful master of places that have a nice ambience. That kind of feeling. If you were to talk to this person he has a reputation of being cool and calm, and may receive various consultations from the youth.

A wild grandpa that surfs
Arioka Daiki
I want to be an active grandpa that is even more energetic than his grandchildren. With brawny muscles, the dorsal muscles are also tight. And then, I will tie my white hair that grew long a bit and I will ride the waves of the beach! Aren't I cool?

A carefree, idle grandpa
Yabu Kota
It was done in the old-time drama "The Woman That Has 1000 Things". I think I'm going to be a male version of that lady, "The Man That Has 1000 Things". I will drink beer on the porch, and be idle watching TV in my house in a jersey. But I'm a grandpa, so I should go out to exercise sometime.

A grandpa who is popular with the girls
Inoo Kei
In town, the women secretively say "That man, he's really doesn't seem like a grandpa, isn't he cool?", requesting for handshakes with me, suddenly confessing to me... generally speaking, I want to be popular (laughs). But wholeheartedly, I only want to kiss my wife!!

A grandpa that lives in the countryside, surrounded by his family
Takaki Yuya
When I was a child, I was brought up in the counrtyside, but I naturally did not miss it. That's why, during my old age it's my dream to have fun with my wife in the slowlife of the country side♪ Planting vegetables in the fields, fishing which I like very much by the river, to carefreely live like that is the best!

[TRANSLATION] YABU MYOJO 04/10

Speaking of troubles, I remember mine from when I just started as a (Johnny's) Jr. I entered the Jimusho in my 6th year of elementary school, but honestly, I didn't feel like singing and dancing in front of others. Originally it had been my sister who thought about the fact that I could sing and dance in front of an audience, as for myself, it took a bit longer to accept that. I was mostly concerned about playing around with my friends, rather than doing my activities. When I saw myself singing I was always concerned about what people would say. That's why I kept it a secret for a while, when I just entered the Jimusho.
At that time, I was also a member of the soccer team, and when dance practice and soccer training overlapped each other in weekends I said, "I have to do things at home, so I'll miss practice." "Again? You have no motivation!" is what I got back from my teammates. That being told, I couldn't avoid having to think about my messy mind. [Rough translation, but basically he's saying his mind was very messed up at the time. And with the pressure of his teammates it was invertible to think about what he wanted to do.]
Six months later, I got to sing on 'Music Station' with a microphone and when my friends saw me and found out. But you know, I got a really unexpected reaction. People all around me told me that it was awesome, which really pleased me. Well, I was really happy. Giving it such a welcome made me think I should have said so from the beginning.
As of that day, the awkwardness in my once damaged relationships disappeared, I was proud on my job.

I also struggle in everyday life, even ordering food in a restaurant. When entering a store, I'm so perplexed by the different cookings that I cannot choose. No matter what I pick (to eat), I'll always be indecisive. There is a curry restaurant I often go to, but it's bad! [You go there alone, or with a certain curry-loving member of your band Kou? >D -bricked from implying InooBu-]That's because they have over a 50 different kinds of curry. It confuses me (laughs). It usually takes me 10 minutes to stress out. In order to decide what I want to have, I'll wait for my friends while reading a manga. It's a routine (laughs).

My weakness is that I get bored really easily. I do not have the will to go on. From the 100 hobby's I start, there are only two whom I continue. However, for those two, it where things I got hooked on right away (at first sight). At least, so far. Up 'till now, I did resistance training for my muscles for about a month before the Ninkyo Helper filimg [explains the sixpack he was havin'] , and the collecting of perfume bottles. If I'm bored I might redo these.

--

Aaaaand~ Another translation. I have to say, because of the first part, and the grown up and mature side of himself Yabu showed here, this is probably one of my favorites up 'till now. I mean; yes I love dorky silly Yabu. But I think it's very nice when he shows his mature side. He'll always remain bubble warp idiot to me anyway. ♥

arashi members looks good in female clothes

Arashi who looks good in female clothes
no. 1 Ninomiya

1. Ninomiya
2. Sakurai
3. Ohno




This was unexpected. I thought it's Sho-kun. This is whether I wore female clothes or not lately, right? I did it once in AU CM, so that must had left a strong impression. The make-up artist prepared about 20 wigs and properly chose the one that fit. It was difficult both for me and the make-up artist. Well, I was chosen this time, (so) it's like an accomplishment. Thank you very much. Come to think of it, I did become a maid in "Yamada Tarou Monogatari". I was called cute, but I never thought that myself (laughs).

Members opinion:

O: Isn't it Sho-kun? I think that he'll be pretty if he does it properly.
N: Isn't it Sho-kun? Somehow, he was told he is somewhere.
M: None. I never thought such thing (laughs).
S: Aiba-kun. He did it in 'Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen', didn't he? I was shown a picture of that time and was asked 'What do you think of this girl?'. I have no idea who she is, so anyway, I said 'Isn't she cute?' (laughs).
A: Those (female clothes) might suit Leader's physique. Don't you think Leader is very slender?

WINK UP JUNE: ARIOKA DAIKI X YAMADA RYOSUKE

Yamada Ryosuke x Arioka Daiki

Arioka: In the concert we’re doing now, there’s this corner where Hikaru-kun plays the base, Yuto plays the drums and we dance.

Yamada: We practiced a lot. When it came to do it in front of the audience… the dance was cut short was the staff members (laughs).

Arioka: Yeah. I thought, “It’s probably because we’re attracting too much attention to ourselves. Right. Right.” (laughs). A bunch of things change even during the concert itself, so by the time this magazine comes out, it might change again.

Yamada: I bet a lot of people watching that corner was surprised. I had fun, and the two of them playing the instruments looked cool!

Arioka: Yeah! Hikaru-kun and Yuto looked really cool! Before the corner starts, we have nothing to do so we watch them right.

Yamada: Yeah, yeah. While Keito and Ryutaro says, “That looks so much fun. They look so cute today~” or “The drums are completely different from the dances, they look so cool~” (laughs).

Arioka: After they do that, we both dash out onto the stage… usually.

Yamada: Speaking about back stage, I heard that while we were singing, “Ganbaretsugo” BEST dances along with us in the back stage?

Arioka: Ah, so you heard. We get so hyped it’s ridiculous (laughs).

Yamada: Yabu-kun and those people had said that they were more excited than 7 who were out onto the stage and I thought that was ridiculous (laughs).

Arioka: It is true though.

Yamada: Seriously!? How intense do you guys dance (laughs). I heard that this song really hits Daichan’s spots.

Arioka: Yeah, I love this song. While 7 was having a meeting on what songs to sing, I was coincidentally there. When one of the staff members suggested, “Ganbaretsugo” I barged in and said, “That’s amazing! Please do that song!” even though I had nothing to do with meeting (laughs). Does Yamada have a BEST song you want to sing?

Yamada: Although I’ve done it before, I really like “Thrill”. Also, in our last concert tour, I liked the medly BEST sang, the “Just Wanna lovin you.” Yes, that’s what it says in the scan. Idk. I like it like a stupid fool (laughs). I back danced for you guys then and it was really fun.

Arioka: We’re basically known for that song.

Yamada: I was so excited I drained my energy then (laughs).

Arioka: During the concerts, whenever I see Yamada, you seem to make all the fans happy, even if it’s unconsciously. Even without any music in the background, as soon as Yamada says one sentence, the fans are like, “Kya….” (laughs). Also during Hitomi no Screen’s “I love you.”

Yamada: You know how frigging embarrassing that is!? Try doing that once.

Arioka: I did.

Yamada: Seriously? When?

Arioka: There was my version, Yabukun’s version, and HIkarukun’s version. I had always wanted to do it, but when it came to actually do it… I was so embarrassed (laughs). When I said it, my knees felt as if they were about to buckle. You know that dance move where you move around your finger in front of your eyes? I practically sprained my finger then (laughs). (Yaotome, who was closeby said, “Your face got red as a tomato, and the staff members had to say, “Sorry, can we film it one more time” (laughs).) Arioka: On top of that, after we had finished singing, we did a monitor check in front of everybody (laughs). (Yabu, who was also near, said, “After my “I Love you,” Hikaru was cracking up so much.)
Arioka: Doing it is embarrassing but seeing it for yourself is embarrassing too (laughs). Being able to do that in front of thousands of people at the concert, Yamada, you’re awesome!

Yamada: Right, right!? It’s truly embarrassing, right? After I say that phrase, the area around my heart suddenly becomes itchy (laughs).

Arioka: (Putting his hand on Yamada’s shoulder and says) You’re really awesome! I admire you!

Yamada: …. If you say so (laughs).

Arioka: So we all found out that Yamada tries his hardest and so after he says his phrase “I love you” fans, please make sure you cheer for him (laughs).

Yamada: I’m glad that the fans are cheering for me, but that makes it even more embarrassing! After I say that phrase, my heart might explode (laughs).
