OHNO Though we all know that Ohno's best talent is art, he
stated that his "real" special skill among all is sleeping.
He is farsighted, therefore he needs to wear a pair of
reading glasses every time he reads something. Like
Matsujun, who is nearsighted, he also makes himself
look good by wearing contacts in public, stage, and
screen.
He also has a bit of trouble reading the Japanese
written language. Though he has no problems reading
Romanji (alphabet), don't count on him reading the
written English language. He'll drag Sho to read (and
translate) all the English for him. He just passed the
national Kanji test two years ago so he shouldn't have
anymore "reading" problems.
. Aiba and Nino said he looks like someone who’d
never tell the members when he gets married, and will
hide it till the end. Sho said maybe there’ll be this one
day when they received Ohno’s divorce report then
they’ll know that Ohno was married
He said he admires someone when he went on Aiba’s
program on 16th August, “Aiba Masaki desu” (is this a
confession?)
Also on Aiba’s program that day, someone said that in
“All or Nothing” Sho’s rap for “you know what I mean”
sounds like “ra-men”, Ohno said that’s exactly what he
thought
. Ohno said he was absent from Pino because no one
invited him. Actually he was assigned for recordings,
but it was cancelled last minute, he got a free holiday.
The three members who were there said: “then you
should come!” but Ohno said he only got to know about
it after reading the next day’s paper, thinking while
reading “how come I’m not inside?”
“When he walks, his eyes are closed” –Sho
When people say Sho’s more fit to be Arashi’s leader,
Sho said Ohno is Arashi’s protector (how sweet...)
. On the first day of their concert, when he was
halfway to Tokyo station he realized he forgot his
shoes, so he rushed home to get it. He came back in
time, but was already all sweaty (partially because he
was nervous)
. His fans are usually older, just like his mom, they
always say that he’s cute
. During their summer concert they had to change on
stage. When he took off his pants and saw his
underwear, he realized he forgot to wear another white
shorts inside, fans were laughing while the crews
searched for a pair of pants for him (how embarrassing)
He’ll never be any of the members’ love rival, if such
thing does happen, he’ll get out of it voluntarily
. he stupidly talked about another program while he
was on Aiba’s program, Aiba who rarely shows his
temper couldn’t resist warning him too....
When they were recording A.Ra.Shi, he didn’t know
that was their debut song
. Their third day in Hawaii, (one week before Arashi
debuted), then he realized that they’re debuting
before Arashi was formed, all he cared about was
sleep, now he is more concerned about work
. he’s really reluctant to sleep with Jun, and is trying to
stop Jun from requesting it for the second time (0.o)
he’s actually 165cm, though it’s publicly shown as
168cm
he’s worried that he’s growing fatter
Dohmoto Tsuyoshi thinks he’s the upcoming pretty
boy
he was once voted Pretty Boy No. 1 in a magazine
usually doesn’t bring money when he leaves the house
(wonder how he survives)
We all know that Ohno is a good artist. Well, he
started drawing in 3rd grade, thanks to "Dragonball."
He had a friend who was into it as well, so they'd
always be competitive trying to outdo each other with
Dragonball drawings.
He says his parents raised him liberally. They never
told him to study or anything.
We know that Ohno is *extremely* close to his mom.
When he goes home late at night, she is always up
waiting for him. He sometimes texts her saying "You
can go to sleep," but she always waits for him. He
asked her why and she replied that he might not like it if
he comes home late from work and the house is all dark.
This really touched him, because she also has to work
the next day at 5AM. To Ohno, she is more like a friend
than a parent.
His mom came to the Johnny's audition with him. At
the audition, it surprised him to see Katori-kun (Katori
Shingo from SMAP); he was familiar with him because
his sister liked him. Everyone started dancing at the
audition, but Ohno stood in the back and didn't dance.
-_- Instead, he waved at his mom and said hi. Then
Johnny-san spotted him and yelled, "What are you
doing? Come up to the front and dance!" So Ohno
danced and Johnny said to him, "you've got good
rhythm."
. So since then, he started going to the lesson 1 day a
week. There were about 50 people starting out, but
later on, it was reduced to only 4 of them. One of them
was Machida Shingo (from another Johnny's unit,
Musical Academy). With Machida, Ohno danced as hard
as he could. Since then, he was always together with
Machida.
Ohno's first gig as a junior was at Tokio's concert in
Budokan. He heard the "Johnny's cheer" and freaked
out. It was so loud, he couldn't believe it was coming
from people! He even wanted to go home because he
was so freaked out.
Initially, he wasn't interested in being in the
entertainment industry at all, or doing dramas. But
dancing kept him interested. It was the only thing he
wanted to excel in.
He realized that if he wanted to go to Kyoto, he'd
have to stay there at least 1/2 year. He volunteered to
go. He wanted to escape the situation he was in at the
time. Younger, newer juniors were coming in to Johnny's
and he kept getting pushed back, as the newer ones got
popular. He thought to himself, "Why? I'm better than
them!" He had heard that he could be the main star if he
went to Kyoto, so he didn't hesitate to go.
His mom was happy and supportive of his decision to
go to Kyoto. He quit high school after just three days of
starting. He walked out with Machida. His parents
didn't say anything. They just asked him, "Is this it?"
and he said, "Yes." He had to quit school because if he
hadn't, he couldn't go to Kyoto.
Life in Kyoto was hard. He had to perform 5 times a
day on stage. At least during summer, it was okay
because there were people. But in fall, there were only
about 50 people in a theatre that could hold 1,000
people. He wondered why he had to be doing this. He
sometimes cried because he wanted to go back to
Tokyo, but his colleagues helped him out because they
were all on the same boat.
If there was an opportunity to dance solo, he
volunteered even if it meant taking himself away from
Tokyo and going to Kyoto. I think from this, we can see
that Ohno is actually quite ambitious and wants to do
justice to his own skills. He said he was satisfied with
the way danced at the solo of "Kyo to Kyo" - he doesn't
think he can dance as well now as he did back then
during his solo "Cool."
About 2 years into his life in Kyoto, he thought about
quitting. He wanted to start drawing again. He picked
up some skills from the makeup artist and thought to
himself that when he goes back to Tokyo, he will quit
Johnny's Jimusho and start anew, something related to
art. At this point, he had already danced to his
satisfaction.
Ohno told Johnny's that he wanted to quit. But for
some reason, he ended up being in "MASK" (stageplay
starring Domoto Koichi from Kinki Kids, from January
'99 to February '99), and also "Playzone" (summer play
Shonentai - way way senpai group from Johnny's - does
every summer).
Then from there, it was straight to becoming Arashi.
He really hesitated, but since it was his last chance, he
decided to just ride this wave. After the initial debut
press conference in Hawaii, he participated in the Junior
Concert in October ('99).
From there, as they were introducing themselves, it
went like this:
"Sakurai Sho- " *WAHHHHHHH* (all the people
screaming)
"Matsumoto Jun - " *WAHHHHHHH*
"Ohno Satoshi - " *... whhhhattt? Who is this person?*
Ohno wanted to get off the stage ASAP. He realized
that his time spent in Kyoto had made him less exposed
compared to the other members. He became quite
desperate at this point. Since the other 4 members had
so much more exposure thanks to their TV appearances,
he knew he had to try harder. He wrote back to his fan
letters and such. He knew that Arashi was somewhat
getting popular because their debut song, "A.Ra.Shi,"
was #1, but he didn't know if he *himself* was popular.
He started having negative thoughts at this point,
because people didn't know who he was, or they were
saying "How come it's not Tackey *Takizawa Hideaki
from Tackey & Tsubasa* that's in Arashi?" He started
wondering if it would be okay for him to be part of
Arashi.
But it brought comfort to be with Arashi members
from the beginning. When the 5 of them were together,
it really upped the atmosphere.
When the first Arashi concert came, he wondered if
anyone would be holding his uchiwa (*the hand-held fan
with member's face on it that fans hold at concerts). He
was relieved and happy to find that there were just as
many uchiwa for him as there were for other members.
Ohno prefers stageplays to dramas/movies. That is
probably why we see him in so few TV dramas.
Overall, I get the impression that acting makes Ohno
really nervous. But he's so good anyway!
He liked shooting the movie "PIKA*NCHI" with rest
of the Arashi members, since it was the first time all 5 of
them got to be in one thing since "V no Arashi."
Unlike acting (which makes him nervous), he likes
doing concerts. He's always thinking about the next
concert. Starting in 2004, he could even come up with
his own choreography. He thinks about what songs to
do solos for, what outfit to wear, etc., and likes thinking
about those.
But even now, he has that nagging feeling somewhere
that he might not have any fans (stemming from his lack
of popularity in the beginning of his Arashi days). So
habitually, he looks for his uchiwa whenever he goes on
stage. When he finds them, it relieves him and he feels
good.
In the past few years, fans have been holding boards
with their "requests" on them - like "Wave your hand"
and things like that. It was fun, and he liked doing it
because his fans liked it. But then the requests got
more... intense and now they've become something like
"Blow a kiss" and such. Ohno's really shy and he says
it's "out of his character." And the next request is
"Take it off." - - ;;
When they start going on concert tours, Ohno always
checks the internet because he is interested in the fans'
reactions, since fan letters take time to get to him.
He watches all his concert videos. Sometimes it
maddens him because he sucks so bad, but because his
time spent with Arashi is precious, even bad
performances are something to be treasured.
Arashi members started opening up to each other
while they were doing "Here We Go" concert tour (I
think around 2002?). They stayed up all night talking to
each other about their plans, what they think, how they
would move on individually, etc. Ohno felt that
everyone treasured the group Arashi.
Year 2003 brought on some changes. Arashi started
hanging outside work and Ohno felt like they had
transcended some sort of a barrier. He thinks it's
important to hang out outside work, because they are
different people when they are working together. Since
they are all adults, they can go drinking and stuff too.
He thinks his voice got higher as the years went by.
He feels it's strange, since people's voice tends to get
lower as they get older. Now he thinks it's as high as
Nino's (which, he says, is REALLY high).
Working in this industry limits him from meeting
people outside, and sometimes it makes him feel lonely.
He's always guarded because he doesn't want to be
deceived. He thinks that's just the way it is, but it
doesn't stop him from feeling lonely.
Since he started thinking that way, he became a bit
more outgoing. Even if he doesn't know the people, if he
thinks it'd be fun, he talks to them.
Personally, he doesn't know where he would be, but
he wants to have an art exhibit of his own.
He wonders what their 10th year anniversary would
be like. 2004 was HIS 10th year anniversary since
joining Johnny's. "I've survived," he says. He has
always tried his best. He was a bit irresponsible when
he was a junior, so he is repentant of it. But overall, his
10 years were filled with many things and he considers
himself a happy person.
He thinks Arashi only has room for improvement. Each
member thinks of the other in a precious way, and after
each concert, they become even more united. He says
that whatever happens, the fact that the 5 of them will
always be close won't change.
_____________________________________________________________
SHO Back in his Johnny's Jr. days, he was also one cute
yet short little midget that he even earned the nickname
name ("bean").
For some odd reason and he doesn't even know it
himself at times, he is known and is in charge of the
rhymin' raps that they always have in their tracks!
The place he would love to visit is New York, which
he has visited with his fellow members (minus Nino ;_
wink in 2001
He has a little brother in the elementary years and
often tutors him with his studies whenever he can...
Back in his days as part of Johnny's Jr., he was also
the only one in Johnny's Jr. history to show off a bit of
his "tush" on Japanese National TV (and it is quite
amusing too...). He was around 15 or 16-yrs-old when
he did that. Rebellious, gutsy little guy, isn't he?
His close friends back in school always called him
"SakuSho" since elementary school.
Sho's secret to success in studies? When there was
an exam coming (probably about a month before the
actual date of exam), he puts everything related to his
career on hold, cancels or postpones his appearances in
public, and spends his time at home (or in the library
whenever he feels like it) studying. Best time to be free
to do any extracurricular activities or resume his career
is right after exam period
His favourite TV channels (or rather the ONLY TV
channels that he watches on TV) are MTV and the
Discovery Channel.
His favourite magazine is Newsweek.
He cannot go to sleep at night without reading a
good book (a (classic?) novel, textbook, reference book,
etc.) beforehand.
He doesn't feel comfortable or confident enough to
take his shirt off just for a photo shoot (but if that's
what the director/photographer wants, then so be it...).
His ideal girl? Sweet, simple, smart-dressed non-smoking, NON-CELEBRITY girl WITH brains and
an independent mind of her own.
When he's got a lot of time in his hands, he surfs in
the Internet
He has a huge interest in history in general and
hopes to study the field of History right after he earns
his Bachelor's Degree in
his days (especially his first days) are quite
interesting. Fans in Japan actually say that it's easier
to find Sho in Keio than in the TV studios, which is why
lots of fangirls invaded Keio U. back then just to see Sho
. Sho's pet peeve is that he loses his cool easily (but
he's been trying to control himself regarding this pet
peeve)
. There is a known incident among us fans that back
when Sho was a Jr. and was on his way to the studios,
he caught a fan taking pictures of him.
Instead of acknowledging or ignoring, he actually
came up to this girl, grabbed her camera, and threw it
right at the subway tracks and started scolding her
about Johnny's rules and why she should follow them
(one of the rules is that fans are not allowed to take
pictures of idols whether if it's on the scene or off the
scene or even candid shots)
There's also another scene where Sho was entering
Keio U. to take his entrance exams (so he could get in to
the university).
There was a mob of fans screaming and gawking at
him as he was entering the gates. Then the screaming
got louder that Sho actually turned around to the fans
and creamed "URUSAI YO!!" (shut up!) and few
seconds later, all the fans fell silent as he entered the
campus quietly.
he takes everything seriously
His childhood is kind of pressuring because of his
family background. If you're a kid whose parents have
high-ranking positions such as a politician and a
university professor, everyone would expect you to
become someone successful, like a CEO of a corporation
or a lawyer or something.
Sho chose the entertainment industry because he
always wanted to dance. When he joined Jrs., of course,
his friends and supporters were happy, but his parents
are not exactly happy and those in their "social circle"
looked down on the entire Sakurai Family (not just Sho,
but the ENTIRE family) for having a son who is so
incredibly gifted and talented to choose something
"low" such as the entertainment biz.
In other words, Sho's days as Jr. isn't exactly
hunky-dory when it comes to his parents/family.
But he proved everyone that he could still be a
prestigious young man despite of him deciding to
become an idol. He spent more time studying in school
than his career that he even worked with Johnny and
staff to work a schedule with him.
. There was another known story in which in the
middle of the "Heaven Cannot Wait" drama filming that
he had to ditch the shooting to get to class. The
director complained of Sho's disappearance that he
called Johnny
for it (to get Sho in trouble), but Johnny just said: "He
ditched because he had to go to class. Wait until he
returns."
Sho is truly one of the most hardworking idols in
the entertainment biz (and not just Johnny's). This is
why in Johnny's, a lot of the younger idols respect him
big time, like no one wants to mess w/ him, no one
wants to get him mad.
They call him Sakurai-senpai or even Sakurai-sama
to the extreme because of that.
A lot of Arashi fans (non-Sho fans) think that Sho is
straight out unfriendly (I don't blame Sho though), but
see, that's because these fans don't understand what
he's gone through in the past, so much that sometimes
he can't help himself but snap out and lose his cool
towards certain things.
He finally gained the respect that he deserved from
his family and his family's social circle of intellects and
successful individuals right after he graduated with a
Bachelor's in Economics.
Especially w/ a BS (bachelor of science) in
Economics at least his family knows that he does
somehow plan to go further in to working in an industry
based on the field of study that he took.
When he is in Keio, he is there as a student, not as
an idol. He gets annoyed when other students act like
psychopathic fangirls and scream and follow him around
campus.
In the beginning he was a loner because everyone is
intimidated by him and his background, but it wasn't
until his first day of English class that he finally met and
became friends w/ some of the guys there and made
friends w/ 2 girls in that class (both are actually nerdy
geeky girls who actually had no clue who Sho is).
From then on he didn't like being alone, he always
stuck w/ his classmates... it's like his friends are almost
like his bodyguards
he doesn’t eat between meals
when he went to a hot spring with Myojo for
shooting, it so happened that it was the place he went
with his family 10 years ago. He called his mom on the
spot just because of this.
Arashi Car usually comes to fetch Sho after getting
Ohno, Sho once saw Ohno’s feet on the manager’s head
when he opened the car door...
. when he went outdoor shooting with Aiba on ‘Uso!
Japan’, they interviewed a pop idol group. Sho said
without thinking that he knew their songs, and sang
quite awkwardly. But Aiba on the other hand, was
singing along rather happily...
Aiba and Ohno influenced him to be less calculative
about things
during the audition part of the Summer Concert, he
was super nervous because he can hear fans talking as
he sat quite close to them
his ‘girlfriend preferences’ are quite similar to
Ohno’s...
seem to like Aiba a lot lately, even ‘ex-love’ Nino
complained about this in envy. After the photoshooting
session for April’s DUET, he left with Nino. Later, he
came back alone to the shooting scene to wait for Aiba
instead.
he joined the Boy’s Brigade before, but he was
bullied so he quit after 3 days joining
in June, he got to know that they’re debuting with
Nino
he’s building up on his muscles (yeah, it’s pretty
obvious)
fast-thinker
he was considered a senior in Johnny’s Junior
before Arashi was formed
because he’s the rapper in Arashi, Japanese calls him ‘raper Sho’ (what
the?! Sho doesn’t go around raping girls!!!)
he’s quite close to Imai Tsubasa. And there’s even
a reason for it, because their name has the kanji
character
he was called ‘Piano King’ in Music Jump
he becomes super monstrous when he’s angry
he loves ‘Frisk’ peppermint sweets very much, will
usually finish up a box a day
he will read some comics before he goes to bed
_____________________________________________________________
AIBA He speaks English ^^; (or... tries his best to speak
English...?)... lately in their variety shows (D no Arashi,
G no Arashi) as well as in the educational animal show
Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen (Genius! Shimura Zoo),
Aiba-chan declares he's fluent in English... he even
speaks it too, but... you be the judge... ^^
He has earned various nicknames that relates to the
word idol (Super Idol, King of Idols, etc. etc.)
Aiba-chan joined Johnny's Jimusho for two
"interesting" reasons:
1) he is a huge Ken Miyake fan
2) he has a huge obsession with basketball and saw
these Johnny's idols playing basketball in one of the
Johnny's shows shown on TV and thought that he'd get
to play basketball in public if he joined, so he signed up
and sent in an application to join Johnny's, not to
become an idol, but probably to use it as a ticket to
playing basketball with SMAP
According to one of Aiba-chan's interviews, the
most bizarre gift that he ever received on his 20th
birthday was a walking stick, given to him by none
other than his own leader, Ohno Satoshi!
Sho said that Aiba is the most horny. But he
continued to say that he can't say the reason why so as
to protect Aiba's reputation. But it's funny how when
Sho said Aiba is the most horny, every other members
said that Sho is the most horny instead. It's funny how
Aiba always say perverted stuff suddenly out of the
blue. Like during the Mago episode where he was
comparing himself to the radish and so. Or when they
were going to the Mago boating camp and while on the
bus, he was talking about the bananas that Ohno had
bought for them.
Aiba follows Sho even in his dreams. Sho is talks in
his sleep about Aiba. Once saying “Let Aiba sleep!” The
other time he said in his sleep to Ohno that he should go
and wake Aiba instead.
halfway watching movie “I am Sam”, he left the
cinema because the story was too tragic, Sho said he’s
the ‘emotional type’
he eats the most among all the members, can’t stop
eating between meals (according to Sho), eats two
bentos a day (according to Jun), after having a sushi
meal with one of the Tokio members, he still ordered a
large set meal (according to Ohno)
ever since he met the super loud alarm clock, he
wakes up before the alarm goes off (amazing...)
kept urging Dohmoto Tsuyoshi to teach him guitar
(Nino despised him perhaps?)
Nino: When we went for dinner after movie
shooting, Sho and Jun’s table was clean after the meal,
Aiba and Ohno’s table was terrible
Aiba: this is how a man eats
before their concert started, he asked Ohno to
write the kanji Arashi for him on the arm, but because
he kept sweating, only the ‘yama’ on the top was
visible. Nino realised it and told him about it. Ohno said
he’ll write it again for Aiba, but Jun scolded him instead:
“if you’re so free, why don’t you just get your butt on
the stage?!”
Nino said he’ll always memorise his line before
movie shooting starts, but Sho says Aiba memorises his
lines AFTER shooting... (what the....?!)
everyone agrees that it is impossible for Aiba to
accomplish two things at the same time
according to the card readings, he’s the ‘playboy
type’...
during KKK concert, he has a draught paper to
remember his placing for their dance, and will check it
everytime they go in and change. But it fell on the stage,
and the choreographer scolded him
Sho: not only during changing time, he’ll also peek into
the paper on stage!
there was once he had a phone call with Yokoyama
in a very sleepy condition, when he woke up he didn’t
remember the conversation so he called Yokoyama
again. That’s why Yokoyama says he’s like a kid
During 2001 Spring concert, Kame kept picking on
him, Aiba pretended to argue and fight with him, but the
other members said that seeing little kids fight is super
boring
he ate more lately, and is able to finish 3 McDonald
set meals in the morning. He still says he’s 53 kg, Ohno
who gets fat easily is very suspicious about this
during Nagoya concert, he forgot to bring his towel
into the bath twice. (those shower baths...) so he
walked out naked twice. The fist time he was kinda shy
and tried to cover, the second time he walked straight
out.
he has a licence to drive small boats other than
cars...
he tried going into hotspring bath when he’s really
really sleepy. He slept halfway through and nearly
drowned, his family members saved him in the end
he asked Yokoyama, Nino and Sho to go fishing,
but he himself was late
when he was in second year of elementary school,
he likes to wear those soccer socks. So he wore with
shorts and went to baseball practice. Of course, the
coach went: “AIBA!!! @#$%^$@#%&*&^$#@&”
a stray baseball hit his leg went he went to watch
a baseball game with Nino and Imai Tsubasa, they kept
laughing at him
he used to call Sho ‘Sho-chan, but changed to
‘Sakurai’ now
only one week before the official press conference,
then he got to know that they’re debuting
very good at penalty kick
he’s becoming more and more like Jun, condering
things carefully before acting on them
gradually turning outdoor’ish cause of Ohno
Sho and Ohno said his personality is like a cat
loves to sleep, hates waking up in the morning, can
sleep nearly anywhere (so can Nino....)
loves manga, but despises those girls’ manga,
cause he said he’s ‘afraid’ of the big watery eyes
he’s not afraid of worms, ghosts, or being alone in
the dark, neither is he afraid of watching horror movies.
But he’s afraid on human beings, like Yokoyama, yet
couldn’t resist asking him out for a meal
always daydreaming
loves sports, played baseball during elementary
school, basketball during highschool
he’s usually a bit slow. Sho laughed at him saying
he created a jetlag for Arashi
likes girls who are older than him, below 35
resembles his mom rather than his dad
his birthdate was decided by his mom who wanted
to give birth at Christmas eve no matter what (wow....)
plays the saxophone and the piano
washes his face first thing in the morning
will wash his hair fist during baths, then his left leg
(0.o)
right leg first when he wears his shoes
right leg first when he wears his trousers
prosedure to wearing his shirt: head, right hand,
then left hand
broke his arm during first year of high school
it’s only a 1 minute journey from his house to his
high school, so he usually leaves home right after he
hears the bell ring
will read manga before he goes to bed
enjoys being in the library during recess time,
because it’s warm during winter and cool during
summer, plus he gets to read manga
_____________________________________________________________
JUN. Probably the only one who "matured" technically by
appearance, Matsujun used to be a cute, adorable, short
little round-faced munch kin back in his Johnny's Jr.
days.
Though mentioned that his bloodtype is "A," in
technicality his bloodtype is rhesus negative, which is a
VERY RARE bloodtype
Those turtles Nino gave him are “fine”, other than
changes in size, they wer once frozen to death, and
were ‘revived’ after being dipped into hot water
he went to a fellow actor’s house during “Gokusen”
shooting, fell in love with the darts there
his card reading result is: self lover, Aiba: “he loves
himself VERY MUCH!
In the Official Arashi Calendar 2001, Jun’s pictures
were edited to hide his leg hair, but there are still some
pictures that “they forgot to edit”. Sho kept teasing Jun
about this, as Sho thinks this is really entertaining
Loves to change his hairstyle
his 17th birthday presents from the members:
electric massager (Sho), skateboard (Aiba), self portrait
(Ohno), 5 small turtles (Nino). Jun felt really happy that
the members remembered his birthday
Ohno said that his fans were the youngest
wanted to spend his 17th birthday with Aiba, but
was refused (politely, i guess)
Jun’s legend: he was once in the football team! But
he never played a real game before, left when he entere
Johnny’s
he was once really angrey with Takki. On Takki’s
16th birthday, they were all working outstation. Jun
bought a cake and planned to burst into his room to
celebrate with him, but Takki refused to wake up. Jun
was so angry that he finished up Takki’s cake with the
rest
Sho was once his private tutor
During Video Concert, he forced Ohno to sleep
with him on the same pillow
He’s quite close to Ohno, so he doesn’t use very
respective words while talking to him
in June, he knew that they will debut, but the fact
that they would be names ‘Arashi’, he got to know it
from Nino and Sho at the end of August
while they were having 109109 concert, the
choreographer was very strict till Jun cried
his height when he first entered Johnny’s: 150cm
he once met an accident and was hospitalized for
two months, went through phisiotherapy even
