The April magzine photoshoots are pretty, so I decided to post them here.

Potato

 

Nino, please cut your hair! Aiba with a trench coat. かっこい～

 

I love this pic and Jun's hair! Jun and his big, pretty eyes~

 

I love this pic too! And of course my beloved Sho-kun! He looks gorgeous here. Well, actually anywhere, as always. I like his pose here too.

 

Wink Up

Aiba-chan with pastel-colored balloons! Love this pic! Although I'm afriad of balloons....yes, I'm kinda weird...

Jun looking gorgeous and Nino's cute smile and sleeping face. Sho looks cute with the hat.

 

Riida looking good here.

 

Message Boards Rough Translations with my limited Japanese knowledge: 

Riida to Kazu (Nino): ...That's serious (おもい=literally, heavy).

Riida to Chinen: I want to be friends with you too. Shall we become mail friends? (mail probably means like messaging on cell phone?)

Junno (KAT-TUN) to Sho: Let's bring THAT person along to karaoke! (Who's THAT person? Hmmm....)

Junno to Nino: Do you play soccer games? (probably referring to soccer video games) In the game, I tried to find you, but at the end, I couldn't. (something like that about the last sentence...)

Shige to himself: The test has passed. Let's work hard in 3rd year of college!

(then, something about work...maybe just something encouraging himself to work hard....sorry about the very very rough translation. Lol, Shige, you gave yourself a message! )

 

Duet

Riida showing his black pinky fingernail! I guess he was just messing around with black paint or some other sort of art material...

 

I found casual Aiba very attractive. Wish I could just meet him on the street like that.

Jun busying filming while Nino relaxing and reading manga! Somebody please give Nino some work so hopefully, there's an excuse for him to cut his hair! Well, actually he does have some work now. The new CM for the Kirin Shava Dava grapefruit-flavored carbonated drink. (Shava Dava?? What a weird name...)

 

Riida fishing! He must be really happy ne. Fishing and working at the same time. I want to go fishing with you, Riida. I used to fish a lot with my family cuz my lil brother loves fishing. Now I don't really like fishing. The baits and stuff are so dirty...but since Riida likes it so much, I might just start to like fishing again. Who knows? The power of Riida...

 

Sho-kun's intense stare! I guess Keio Boy doesn't like others to interrupt him when he's reading newspapers. I won't disturb you anymore, Sho-kun...cuz you just killed me with your eyes!

 

Yay for Riida who gets 3 extra pages! Because of his great success in Freestyle and upcoming butai? Riida, keep up your good work. Show off your talents. Amaze more people. Let the whole world know how awesome you are! Yeeeeeaaaah!

 

Myojo

Myojo can do better than this, seriously. I don't really like the kaleidoscope effect. The "How well do you know Arashi" quiz is cool though. I enjoy guessing the answers and reading the members' responses. However, I just ignored the point system...wish I didn't cuz I want to know if I'm THAT BIG of a fan, who knows everything about Arashi.

3rd pic:

Riida is really the artist of the group ne. His kanji for "Arashi" is so pretty and artistic. I knew that Nino would do something weird with his writing...Aiba's is kinda normal, just in katakana. I knew Sho was the one who wrote in English and block letters. Jun wrote "Arashi" with his left hand?

They also talked about the food that they hate and what they want to do for their 10th anniversary.

 

Return of Aibado? I was laughing so hard when I first saw this pic. Aiba-chan flying in the air!!

Some questions he asked the readers for Aiba's quiz (highlight for answers, at the end of question):

- How did he take that picture? (b)

  (a) Aiba has supernatural power (b) just a little jump from the platform where he's standing (c) photoshop

  (d) using a trampoline to jump really high

- What club did he join in elementary school? (c)

  (a) chess (b) pool (?)

  (c) "get ball" (What exactly is this? Am I the only person who doesn't know cuz I don't really play any sports?)

- When did he think "maybe this time I'm really going to die"? (c)

  (a) being attacked by a kangaroo during TSD (b) being attacked by a tiger during TSD

  (c) "toriningen" (鳥人間）/ Aibado experiment during MMA

I didn't do all the questions. Hehe, just the ones that sound more interesting.

 

Quiz on Jun:

- What's the piece of furniture that he wants the most right now? (b) 

  (a) sofa (b) mirror (c) air freshener

  My comment (highlight): I haven't read his explanation yet. I guess Jun really cares a lot about how he looks ne.

   (a) yellow (b) black (c) red

- When he was reading the HYD manga, which role did he want to act? all 3

  (a) Domyouji (b) Hanazawa Rui (c) Soujiro

 

Quiz on Nino: Sorry, I'm getting lazy, so I'm not going to translate all the multiple choices.

- How much money does Nino have in his piggy bank, with 500-yen coins that he started collecting 3 years ago (or something like that, sorry about my understanding in Japanese)?

  Answer: None of the provided answers are correct! (Nino! You just have to be trick ne.) He has about 800k yen in it! He also says the piggy bank is really heavy. Nino thinks that if somebody broke into his house, the burglar wouldn't even be able to lift it!? おもいね。(Nande? なんで?)

- What happened at Nino's house recently?

  Answer: His grandma's hair caught on fire (cuz of incense).

- What did he buy recently?

  (a) games (b) bag (c) house (me: o_0?)

  Answer: (b) He bought a bag for his laptop/computer. It's brown with pink dots. It costed about 15k yen. Nino, isn't that kinda expensive for a bag? Well, he's finally spending more of his money (other than games, I guess) and not as stingy now, it seems.

 

Quiz on Ohno: 

- What fishing equipment did he buy recently? Answer: (a)

  (a) reel (b) lure (c) rod

  His little elaboration on the answer: He bought a 1000-yen one and a 2000-yen one. (me: mep...not very significant)  

- Amatsukaze, his butai starting from March 21, is his ___th butai since Arashi's debut.

  Answer: 8th butai. I guess almost one per year.

- Which of the 3 clay figure mice on the page is made by him?

  Answer: (a) Riida sounds really excited talking about his art exhibition. Well, it's his dream, and he has finally made it come true. He said he asked Johnny's Jimusho about it last December. He was very surprised at how many staff people were needed for the exhibition. But at the end, he was very happy. 

 

I found the pic of Sho holding the dishes kinda funny.

Quiz on Sho:

- Of all the food on the page, what did he eat after the photoshoot?

  (a) pizza (b) pasta (c) fried rice (d) ramen

  Answer: (b) Sho said he likes pasta the most (probably meant of all the food available there). (me: Why did Sho take a pic with all the food? I think it's kinda random...Lol. Did the other members get to eat it too? If yes, Riida probably chose the ramen, ne.) 

- How many pictures did Sho take when he went to India for 4 days during New Year's holiday? 

  (a) 120 (b) 1200 (c) 12,000

  Answer: (b) He used both his camera and video camera to take those pictures.

- What does he always have in his bag but he never gets to use it?

  (a) laptop (b) mint (c) books

  Answer: (c) He carries about 2 books with him. He said something about falling asleep after reading newspapers, and so he never got to read the end (of newspaper articles or books?) He brought 2 books when he went traveling, but he never even opened them.

- A question about the other members' messages for his birthday. Sorry, I don't know what "uketa" means.

Riida was the 1st person to call him. Sho was taking a bath, and so he heard Riida leaving him a message, "Sho-kun? Omedetou! *heart* Jyaa ne, oyasumi! *heart*". He said Riida said it in a LOVELY voice. Then, Riida called a 2nd time, and I don't really get what Sho was talking about this other person...Nino was the 1st one to send a mail (I guess thru cell phone). On the 25th around noon, Jun sent Sho a decorated mail. Sho said the writing (content) was ok...but he was surprised at the decoration. On the 26th, Aiba sent his mail, "Sorry, it's a bit late, but happy birthday!" Then, Sho replied, "I'm happy to get your message, but my birthday was yesterday!" Lol. (Me: Aiba-chan! How can you forget Sho-kun's birthday? I thought you guys are really close!)

 

Post more later, maybe~
