[ARASHI] The 34th thread ~ 49th single I seek / Daylight (18.05)

[Aga-chan]

That's really a pity. I am not that much into Johnny's like I used to be, too. But the occasional song is fine. And their variety shows and interviews are usually fun to watch.
I'm not really into the newer Johnny's, though. Probably because of age difference? They could be my children. lol

But what's with those, say, younger Johnny's groups and losing members? Was it like that back in the day, too? I mean one or two members are, let's say, fine, depending on the original number, but losing half the members like NEWS and KAT-TUN?

The thing is, it really seems like the members of Arashi like each other. But with KAT-TUN I don't know. I figured that they may not reach their 10th anniversary. It's not like it's about being born in a different generation, because they were all born in the 80s. I guess it's a difference in character.

yeah I'm not into the recent Johnnys groups but I like/support Kis-My-Ft2 . I don't support Sexy Zone & Johnnys WEST though

Seems that the more established Johnnys from ARASHI onwards are more stable as to see members leave from KAT-TUN to NEWS & even Hey ! Say ! JUMP is so depressing

Anyway as with any group , I think each ARASHI members' relationships weren't that good when they were 1st formed . For Ohno , the other 4 didn't even know he existed within the agency as back then , Ohno was in Kyoto often to do stageplays

Let alone Sakurai had a really bad temper as he gets angry/agitated frequently but as time goes by , he's more mellowed down considerably

Before they hosted VS ARASHI , they were already hosting a whole string of different variety shows but VS ARASHI alongside with Hitmitsu , Arashi no Shukudai-kun (they shouldn't have cancelled it =( ) & Arashi ni Shiyagere helped to elevate their popularity , alongside with their individual activities/achivements too

Of course back then MatsuJun was the most popular cos of his acting in Gokusen & subsequently Hana Yori Dango but now each of them are equally popular which's a rarity as it's seldom heard of that in groups/bands as normally only 1/2 are the most popular while the other members are not

Hey! Say! JUMP lost members, too?!

It's natural that there is tension. They are individuals with different personalities after all. And they have to spend lots of time together.
It seems Arashi learnt to accept their differences. No one ever seems to say things like talk more to Ohno.

I would have never thought that Sakurai gets easily irritated. He doesn't look like that at all anymore. lol

I really really like that everyone in Arashi is popular. Like that their popularity probably won't waver easily. It's nice that it's not MatsuJun plus 4 other guys.
Just like when they ask mostly female guests which Arashi member they like most, not everyone says MatsuJun. It's cute that Oguri Shun is a huge Ohno fan. ^^

Yeah HSJ's Morimoto left 5 years ago as he was caught for underage smoking :x

At least now he's returning back to the music business with a new group although I couldn't recognise him at 1st lol

From what I know , Sakurai was quite feared in the agency as his temper was just really bad . He's not like that anymore as I guess time mellowed things down

As for Ohno , nobody literally knew who he was when they announce their group formation on a cruise ship in Hawaii some 17 years back . I think that time it was the 1st time the other 4 saw/met him in person o_O

Well at least things worked out nicely for them now . Someone in the group should start to settle down 1st although given their non stop never seem to waver down popularity I don't know

And for Ohno to get caught in a relationship sometime back , heh that was a surprise given that he's a mummy's boy (whose mum still buy his clothes up to now -_-)

[Aga-chan]

I heard about their formation. They talked about it during their stay in Hawaii around their 15th anniversary? And Ohno started crying. lol They said they all started crying, but no one wants to see that. Not true. I wanted to see it! *o*

He may just not have the time to go shopping? I mean it's the person who cuts his own hair, we are talking about. lol Perhaps he prefers to go fishing or to draw than to go shopping. Or he's just bad with choosing clothes. =P

[KarenPang]

Yes that was true and for them to go back to the very same place when they made their debut , it was emotional to them for sure

Last I know , Ohno ordered his clothes & shoes via Direct Mail . I don't know if he still does it but hey his mum knows best x)

[Aga-chan]

To go shopping as a Johnny's must be difficult as is. lol

That reminds me of the time when, I think, Sakurai said that Ohno put his chin forward, so no one recognizes him. LOL
