#1 about One (+ Leader's defense)

[2005.09] YOUNG SONG

YOUNG SONG, September 2005
scan: Tess

I like Kazamidori among the songs in the album. Back in grade school, I had a really good friend, but he transferred to another school. Together we tested how far we can go riding our bikes, we played baseball and soccer etc...I remember those stuff when I hear this song. The words "Let's enjoy today~" in my solo Itsuka no summer is also a priority in my life, so it's easy to put my feelings into it when I'm singing it. The song's lyrics could be looking back at the past, or it could be comparing the past and the present...I guess there are many ways of interpreting it, depending on the listener. The lyrics are deep, and I myself get more confused the more I think about it (laughs).

Er Leader month is over, but here's what Leader said when he appeared as a guest on 2007.09.06 ON8. The DJ told Leader that he was already a "Man of Legend" lol, and she was so looking forward to meeting him. What he said:

Ninomiya Kazunari comes to me and meddles with me, so I have no choice but to pay attention to him.
So it's like you're just going along with him?
Yup, that's right. It's not like I really want to do it...

Lol poor Leader...

As the leader of Arashi, what is it that you want from the members?
Treat me more gently
So you're not treated very gently?
Yup, it's rough treatment. I want them to go easy on me (laughs).

Ninomiya-kun talked about fooling around during rehearsals, and together with Aiba-kun getting scolded a lot by Matsumoto-kun.
Well he doesn't really get angry that seriously. It's more like *imitates MatsuJun* "Hey that's enough" (laughs).
Er that seems more serious instead (laughs).
And then we'd go, "Yes, we're sorry", then end up coming up with another game.
For instance, when you're in the middle of a meeting...
When I feel like we've run out of ideas, I'd like send a message to Nino. Even though he's sitting right next to me. I'd say like, "We sure are not coming up with anything..."
And what does Ninomiya-kun say?
"I know. I want to go home..." (laughs)

In connection with the title Happiness, during which times do you feel happy as an Arashi member, or think, "I sure am happy I'm an Arashi member"?
Lately we've been together all the time because of the tour...Well, I'm happy because we're together all the time (laughs).
So Happiness for Ohno-kun is to be able to be with everyone always.
Right...that's Happiness. ♥

Thanks for translating, Huxley! I'm touched by Aibachan's words about putting feelings into the song, how he remembers the times with his friend.. and I'm freaking cracked up over Ohmiya. Those two! <333 XD

[charurei]

this group is soooo twisted: Leader is #1 most bullied member and the youngest is the one who gets to scold the members. not to mention that the smartest one is arguably, IMO, the dorkiest of them all XDD

[Huxley]

Thanks redchemistry! Haha koibito-rashii indeed :D Hopped over to your Vox and then to your LJ; hope you don't mind me dropping by
there too :D

Thanks so much for translating (even though I am reading this so long after you originally posted this). I love reading about their backstage antics, knowing how they get along when they don't have to do so for the benefit of the cameras is a joy. Reading about Ohmiya texting each other like that reminds of the 'My Girl' PV making-of, where Jun cheekily rings up Ohno (sitting less than a metre away) but hangs up immediately several times. Ahh, the baka-ness of it all!
