This is originally an entry in my diary after I watched Hanamaru Cafe with Sho in it:
2008/04/21
Hari ini aku liat Hanamaru Café dengan Sho jadi tamu-nya.
It was…
It was…
I was teary eyed. To see such a perfect person.
痛い位負けた。
I lost to him so much it hurts.
Dia definitely tumbuh di salah satu lingkungan terbaik, liat aja kedekatan dia sama keluarganya. Sms jalan tiap hari karena they can`t see each other but they care and I can understand perfectly when Jun once said `well-bred` to describe Sho.
Aku seneng banget liat the kind of relationship Sho punya sama ibunya. I had always thought maybe she`s strict and demanding or whatever, tapi to be a mother who stays up late to see her son`s news corner and to comment through text mail everytime and to make sure her son knows that she sees it everytime her son chews his words on national television, only one conclusion : she rocks! Hahaha
The text message cracked me. `Ah, you did it wrong ^^`, and the bomb picture afterwards…
How I want to have a cup of tea with this Middle Age Literature sensei and ask her how to raise kids properly.
God, doesn’t it scare you how high Sho`s expectation of women must be?
A good son, a good brother, a good friend (I don`t know how he found time to hang out once a week with his Keio buddies ><)
He`s dedicated, his work ethic is unbelievably good, he believes in what he do, well, things that describe Arashi members anyway.
But, but…
He`s all I ever wanted to be.
He has every… I don`t know, `human factors`(?), that I don`t have.
I don’t believe in following standards that other people put up. But looking at Sho, I can`t help thinking, isn`t it the right way to face life?
Awww, Happy-chan. I love this entry. We've been talking about this before and how much you aspire to follow the work and life ethics of Sho. Even I am inspired by him as to how he can fit everything into his very busy and tight schedule. He has great time management skills. And what's even greater is his people skills. Through the years, he has learned to mix with people from all age brackets and I love it when he laughs at himself. He's such a great individual.
His mom rocks! And I'm sure that he's going to find a girl who closely resembles his mom and that girl would definitely be lucky ne.
Hope you got my PM a week ago, I think. Ganbatte on your studies! Miss you! *hugsssss*

Did you read his latest entry in his special Jweb about the new addition to the family? Sakurai Navi-chan the car navigator :P
It is a story totally about his family and you can tell how much he adores them. Navi-chan must be happy to have a big brother like that.
And it makes you wonder even more how this guy who is obviously brought up to probably take over some company or follow his father's footsteps, chose to join the entertainment world and prove to people that it is just as important a job as everything else in Japan.
I don't think we can follow his standards. Heck! I don't want to but I do applaud him at being who he is and his parents for bringing up a son who chose to be different and yet still be something they can be proud of.

[this is good]
One of the things I've read today that touched my heart, seriously~
Sho is really someone who I think stood out from the rest of the men his age. There's so many sides to him that contradicts with each other, yet you can sense the balance that he has.

His standard is seem too high for me but it's something make me

Sakurai Navi-chan... *shakes head*
Someday I`m going to make a seminar with the theme `How to raise productive kids` or something with Sho`s parents as keynote speakers. Seriously.
It`ll be a seminar special for Arashi fa(n)mily and require no ticket whatsoever. Just remember to bring Arashi uchiwa.
Look at me babbling again ^^;

Let`s hope we can stood out too and make him proud ;)
投稿情報: hinagiku85 | 2008/04/22 19:45
I`m scared just thinking about his standards, but I want him to keep it that way, to keep inspire me. We`ll always adore him this way.

lol, let's stand out as good momma-to-bes (and 'rocking' while we're at it)? That's not such a bad idea, though just as you wrote, the standards that Mrs Sakurai has... oh my...
btw, I love the Indonesian words u've inserted in this entry, natsukashii desu yo, reminded me of my college years~ (though I'm Malaysian actually XD)

hinagiku-chan....T.T i felt the same way too!!!!
Sebenernya,minggu* kerja terberat (mental & physical) pas banget dgn appointment Olympic Caster jobnya Sho...
Even though his work loads are pilling up day-by-day& his eye bags are getting even more visible but he's taking it with responsibility & integrity...
I remember Sho-kun during his Uni days (juggling work & school...)*taihen...
Sho-kun was my boost to get through that damn lousy days (thought of giving up)...
I tried my hardest then,because if Sho-kun could do that much....why can't I do simpler job than what he handles...
I'm so glad you brought it up...^^ *lega perasaan skg~~
Sho-kun would be an example of an ideal son, brother & friend...
Like what you said, I think we should ask Sakurai-mama for a tip or two on raising such a beautiful children....or..maybe she should publish a book!!!!

Asyik lah, rasanya bisa side by side berjuang sama Sho nanti!
Everytime you feel tired during the week, you can say to yourself `Sho is working his ass off the exact same time right now. Masa kalah?`
