OMG OMG OMG!!!!!
have anyone seen this show?!
Nino, you're such a genius!!!!!! Right when I think I know a bit about you, you just push me back to the start line again.
what do I know about you? nothing, really.
"It's even easier to do things when people think you're crap. In their heads, people have this 'shape' about 'idol', and because it's just too shiny and dazzling and they can't stand the light, they come into the shadow and say things like that."
"I listened properly to the director (even if I play games, when making of the PV). When I play games, it's easier for things to just come into my head. If I continue to see the monitor, then my will (towards the project) 'll start to come out. that's troublesome. I have to kill my own will and do what the director wants me to do."
(when he was asked to write his future plan/expectation)
"Can't. Isn't it scary. What if I die? well, die is a bit extreme. but still, it's like writing a will."
The interviewer pointed out a lot of interesting things about Nino-chan.
- how in interviews with all arashi, there were times nino would just silently checking conditions around him.
- he followed when nino filmed marathon (they only show a piece, but no doubt, nino will be amazing as always), and he noticed how no matter how little time he has, nino would turn up the next day in location with increased ability, which mean he practised. between Dome rehearsal and photoshoot and interview and regular program and non regular program, our beloved nino-chan will practice the minute he came home.
"Because I'm serious about it."
- you'll see nino with glasses. I LOVE BOYS IN GLASSES. I even like my brother better when he puts on his glasses.
- a lot of scene that shows our boys and mainly nino as pro idol. there's something I can't explain in words, just written in their face that 'this is our way of life'.
Seeing the program last night, my heart beat so fast. Because for 30 minutes, I see Nino as Nino and not Nino as Arashi member. I was never really good at reading people anyway, so it's like seeing a whole different Nino.
If only I can order the tv station to have the same program for all member. It was soooo interesting.
There are people that don't respect idol at all and I don't blame them because not all idol deserve respect, but seeing how smart and professional Ninomiya Kazunari is...there's really nothing else to say actually.
maybe I'm biased cause I love my boys so much, but he deserves it nonetheless.
NINO-CHAN, YOU'RE SUCH A COOL PERSON !!!
Haha, I always want to be Sho-kun, now I wanna be Nino. I know, I know, I should stick to be myself and get the best out of me.
(I kept on typing Kazu-chan instead of Nino-chan and I'll erase it and change it to Nino-chan for unknown reason ^^;)
I love this show too! A different side of Nino was shown on this show. How I wish they will do this for each member too. It would be interesting yo!

That show is a real eye-opener. People get to see the other side to being an "idol" and it's not just fun and games. After watching it, I can see why so many say Nino is a tensai. Totally broke the stereotype mould that people think all idols are - not only him but all Arashi too.
I feel what makes this documentary even more awe-inspiring is that Nino agrees to being followed. You get to see his expressions and hear stuffs from his own mouth - answers to questions that in other interviews, he would joke about or avoid answering.
NINO-CHAN~ AISHITERU YO!

The show summed up almost everything about Nino that has made me his fan.
He's so comfortable being who he is.
Loved it!

Thanks so much for your translation! :-)
Honestly, I am so overwhelmed right now. I can't find the exact words
to describe what I feel about Nino and how much my love increased for
him tenfold. This feature has also shown how passionate Sho, Rida,
Aiba and Jun are about their craft. I really really love Arashi to the
highest level!
I've been reading this over and over again! I am in awe...
"It's even easier to do things

[this is good] This show's great as it shows most of the reasons why Nino is my number
1. I really respect him as a person!! He's such a natural genius yet so
very hard working, and he's got wisdom.

Ahh sugoi..I always see Nino as someone who wouldn't answer interview questions properly. Always inserting jokes and meh just avoiding the serious questions. But this show ne. A real eye-opener. Because you see how his serious side comes through. When I first saw him perform live with his guitar, I really felt like This guy is a genius! But he is so carefree to show it!!
After seeing the show, my heart beat so fast too!!! A real life insight to the boys in Arashi is so important to me, because it makes me feel like I am much closer to them. PV's and talk shows can only do so much. But this one ne...I also wish they could feature the 4 too. :)
Arigatou for translating some parts. :)
投稿情報: ayisse | 2007/05/07 22:39
wow!
luv him more than ever!!!! as Ogura-san said, Nino is natural, maybe he meant more along the lines of REAL....and UNPRETENTIOUS....he's like 'what you see is what you get'. Amazing guy.
thanks for the translations!!!!
i wonder if anyone would be fully translating this? or if there are going to be subs? if anyone translates the entire thing, i wouldn't mind doing the subbing. All for the love of Nino-chan!!!!!

thanks for the summary... i love to understand what he says...
yes,, people may not respect an idol , because they dont really " see " in deep inside the idol shell.. ( not for every idol ) ..
I am glad Nino agree to film this documentary thing, and the TV station to show people ( not only Fangirls ) how an idol work... and they do have " inside " and " soul " ..
Is it just me or what? I found out there are more and more interviews of JE boys to reveal their lives " behind the scence " .. Are they ( the JE team ) going to make the boys more realistic or close to an artist ? ?
so far.. I watch K8 and KK .. they work quite long hours in a day .. really hard ne....

Thanks for the explanation, now i can love more him!!! kyaa!!! I fall in love too, Nino with glasses <3
