Sakurai has been my brother in law since VS ARASHI started last April *points to my younger sister who was Yamapi & Kame baited initally but not anymore T_T
& oh glad that you like the extras add on for each of the members that I did 8D & it's true for all of them including the part where I said about MatsuJun posing in Marie Claire Japan & that was a really neat photoshoot
since black & white shots are always a win win situation for me
anyway from the previous thread
1) Sakurai Sho Touts ‘Masculinity’!
On September 17th the Arashi members appeared in their own TV variety program ‘ひみつの嵐ちゃん / Secret Arashi’s TV Show’. The actress Inoue Mao guest starred in the program, and was asked about her type. She replied that she liked men who have a ‘masculine’ side, especially those who can wolf down their food. So the Arashi members each took turns eating gyudon [牛丼 bowl of rice topped with beef] in what they thought was a manly fashion! Before the competition, Inoue had told Sakurai Sho that she wasn’t exactly fond of men who have stooped shoulders. Eager to prove that he could be Inoue’s type, Sakurai cracked eggs with his head, applied an unseemly amount of red peppers and red pickled gingers to his gyudon, and promptly stuffed them into his mouth. He then claimed that the gyudon had ‘no taste’, and did the unthinkable. He drank the sweet sauce used for the gyudon right from the bottle! But after all the trouble he went to, Inoue chose Matsumoto. Sakurai’s desperate moves didn’t seem to impress Inoue…but Aiba told Sakurai “That was the best laugh I had for this year!” Maybe it wasn’t all in vain!
