ahh I'm still here.. just reduced to lurking status as of late :(

my boyfriend has been living with me the past week or so.. and its a bit distracting ahah.. I still look for magazine articles to translate but i havent seen much lately ;(

ah well keep spreading the love! :D <3

(partial translation from Zettai Kareshi's ending theme song - Okaeri by Ayaka).. only putting it here.. cuz... well.. yea :D

おかえり　sweet home
帰る場所 愛をありがとう
I'm back, sweet home
A place to return to, thanks for your love

まだ平気なフリをして
悲しみの色を塗りつぶして
笑ってしまうんです
信じることの大切さわかってるのに
いざという時 疑ってしまうんです
Acting like nothing's wrong again
Covering up all the melancholy tones
Putting on a smile
Even though I know the importance of the things I trust
When it comes down to it, I end up doubting them

空っぽの体　流れる時に　
浮いてしまいそうになるけど
あなたのこと　抱きしめたい
このキモチが突き動かすの
When my hollow shell is washed away
It seems like I'll just drift away
But I just want to hold you tight
These feelings arise inside of me

おかえり I'm home
一言で　満たされる心
おかえり　sweet home
帰る場所 愛をありがとう sweet home
I'm back, I'm home
In one word, a fulfilled heart
I'm back, sweet home
A place to return to, thanks for your love, sweet home

自分のことばかりを考える
大人はずるいんだと思っていたんです
でも必死で帰ることを 叫んでる人
もいるんだと やっと知ったんです
I thought that adults
Who only think of themselves were unfair
But I finally understand
There are also people frantically crying out to return home

当たり前の幸せなんか
この世界に一つもない
あなたのため　そう思えた
このキモチが突き動かすの
That kind of natural happiness
Can't be found anywhere in this world
I could feel that way for you
These feelings arise inside of me

おかえり　I'm home
帰る場所 yeah
愛をありがとう
I'm back, I'm home
A place to return to, yeah
Thanks for your love

おかえり　I'm home
スピードが加速してく毎日
おかえり sweet home
変わらない　ずっとある景色 sweet home
I'm back, I'm home
Everyday with increasing speed
I'm back, sweet home
It won't change, the scenery that's always here, sweet home

探して　なくした心の傷が
立ち向かう強さに変われたのは
｢おかえり｣があったから
The scars from looking for and losing my heart
Became the strength to face myself
All because I had a home to come back to

おかえり　I'm home
一言で　満たされる心
おかえり sweet home
帰る場所　愛をありがとう
I'm back, I'm home
In one word, a fulfilled heart
I'm back, sweet home
A place to return to, thanks for your love, sweet home

おかえり　I'm home
大丈夫　あなたがいるから
おかえり sweet home
待っててね　もうすぐ着くから sweet home
I'm back, I'm home
It's all okay, because you're here with me
I'm back, I'm home
Please wait for me, I'm nearly there, sweet home

大切なもの、大切な人を教えて
Please tell us what things and what people are important to you

好きなことをやってる時間じゃない？うん、だって…毎日、好きなことをやりたいじゃん(笑)。今なら毎日、 釣りしたいじゃん。なんでそんなに釣りがいいのか？…わかんない(笑)。なんかね、いいんだよねぇ、釣りしてる時間って。なんも考えてないもん、海にいる ときって。そういう時間が、きっと必要なんだろうな。ガマンももちろんするけど。だって…仕事して、好きなこととか趣味の時間があって、だからどっちも楽 しくなるっていうか。そういう時間があるからがんばれるし、「何日か後には、釣りに行ける!」とか、毎日がんばればその日が来る! みたいなさ。そういうことなのかもね。あとは…大切なものか、なんだろう？難しいね。全部大切だらなぁ。う～ん…やっぱ仲間かな。仲間と飲んでる時間とか すごく大切。昨日も作品集&個 展のスタッフさんたちと飲んだんだけど、なんかね、本当にさ…仲間が増えたから。それはすごくうれしいよね。新たな仲間じゃない？オレは、ずっと好きなこ とをやってきて、それが本になって個展ができて。そこでできた新しい仲間だから…ホントにすごくうれしいの。不思議だよね。まったく違うジャンルっていう か…今まであんまり関わることのなかったジャンルの人たちが新しく仲間になるって、すごいなぁと思って。美術とか芸術とか、オレにはよくわかんないけど、 そういう人たちって意外と普通なんだよ。もっと難しいイメージがあったんだけど、全然変わらない。だって「芸術とは…」みたいな話とか、もし言われたら 困っちゃうけど、まったく関係ない話してるから。それがいいの。楽しい。昨日も、釣りの話で盛り上がったし(笑)。そういう仲間とか時間って、すごく大事 だなぁって思った。釣りとかもそうなんだけど、なんていうかさ、そういうときって時間が早く感じるよね。たまに見る じゃん、時計。で、「お!まだ9時か」って。次、11時ぐらいに見て、ヘコみだすよね(笑)。「あぁ、もう終わっちゃうよ…」って。だから、そういう仲間 じゃない？仲間とか人。そういう気持ちは、やっぱり昔より今のほうが強くなった。やっぱ、あれだよ。自分が一番先頭に立ってやる仕事になってくるでしょ う？だから、みんなで楽しみたいの。だって、オレについてきてくれる人たちなんだから。大事にしたいと思うよね。そうやって、新しい仲間と作った作品集、 個展っていうのは、おいらの記念、宝物。いい記念になりました。大切なものが、またひとつ増えました!っていう気持ち。でね、今、一緒に釣りやってる仲間 も、新しくできた仲間だし、作品集の仲間もできたし…本当に仲間が増えたのね。しかも、そこがまた一緒になりそうな勢いなんだ。釣りっていうひとつのチー ムに。あ、また釣りの話になっちゃった…ごめん(笑)。まぁあとなんでもやってみたい!って思うこと。そういう興味とか欲は…不思議となくならないんだよ ね。そうやって続けてきたことがひとつの形になったから、余計に思うことなのかもしれないけど、「好き」とか「やってみたい」って思うことって、すごく大 事なことなんだろうな。
Probably time spent doing what i love. Yea, afterall... you just want to do what you want everyday. (laughs) Lately all i want to do everyday is fish. Why is fishing so great? ... I'm really not sure. (laughs) Somehow, its really nice when i'm out fishing. I dont think of a single thing when i'm out on the sea. That kind of time is probably necessary for me. I do hold back sometimes. I mean... I work, and theres also time for things i like to do or my hobbies, so i can enjoy both in a way. So because i know i have that time, I can give it my all, like "I can go fishing in X days!!", if i work hard everyday that day will be here soon!.. kinda feeling. Probably that kind of thing. Also hmm.. important things, what would that be? Difficult to think of. Because its all important. Yea... its gotta be my friends. The time spent out drinking with friends is really important. Yesterday I went out drinking with the staff from my personal exhibition and art collection, but somehow, really... my number of friends have really grown. That makes me really happy. The new friends. I've just been doing what i love, and now its become a book and then a personal exhibition. Friends that i made through that... makes me really really happy. Its strange. A completely different genre.. I think its amazing that i could make friends with people with interests that i've never really had much connection with before. Like in fine arts, I'm not too sure, but those kind of people are surprisingly normal. They have a much more complex image, but they arent like that. If they asked me something like what i thought art was, I'd be a bit troubled, but they talk about completely unrelated things. Thats nice. Its fun. Yesterday we had fun talking about fishing. (laughs) I think that spending time together with friends like that is really important. Fishing is the same kind of thing, but how do you put it, you can really feel time moving when you do stuff like that. You look at it occasionally, your watch. "Oh! its still 9?", then the next time you look at around 11 and get a bit depressed. (laughs) "Ah, its over already..." kinda thing. Aren't they those kinda friends? People, friends. That kind of feeling is much stronger now that it was before, definitely. It's just gotta be that. Its the very first job that you take on right? So I want to have fun together with everyone. Afterall, they're my friends that stuck with me so far. I think they should be treated preciously. So along those lines, the artbook and exhibition i made with my new friends, are our memories, treasures. It's turned into a nice memory. Like i've gained one more important thing in my life. And now, the friends i go fishing with, are new friends too, as well as the friends i made through my exhibition.. my friends have really been increasing. On top of that, thats the force that keeps pulling us back together again. In one team fishing. Ah, it turned back to fishing again... sorry. (laughs) Well, I also think i'd like to try everything at least once. That kind of interest.. amazingly doesnt go away. Always moving forward like that has turned into one shape, it might just be a trivial thought, but thinking things like "liking something" and "wanting to try something", are probably really important things.

Please tell us what things and what people are important to you

大切なもの？それは…お金です! うん、お金は大事ですね(笑)。あとは、基本的に人間に関するオプションっていうのは、お金には代えられない大切なものではありますね。目とかさ。オレ、 カメラとか触ってると思うんだけど、カメラはイチイチピント合わせなきゃいけないんだよ？でも、そのレンズをのぞいてる、こいつ(と、自分の目を指す) は、もうすでにピントが合ってるわけじゃない。どこを見ても。オートなわけでしょう。ね？で、色も立体感も出してくれるじゃない。昔、話し合ったことがあ るんだよね。友達とみんなで。例えば、カメラが10万するんだったら、この目は何万なんだろう？って。それは、すごく思うなぁ。その結果？結
果は 出ない! 値段はつけられないね。プライスレスだね(笑)。あとはね、みんなで飲んでるときかな。そういうのは、大事だなって思いますね。昨日もね、飲んでたんで す。岩松(了)さんと小泉(今日子)さんと荒川良々と平岩紙ちゃんと。そのチームが今度舞台やるからって、来なよ!って呼ばれて。べつに知らない人たち じゃないから、オレも「いいよ」って(笑)。飲みながら、「あれはああだった」「これはこうだった」って…言ってる時間が楽しいですね。今年初外交です、 昨日が(笑)。帰るころには…外出たら、雪降ってて「おぉ、雪だよ!」ってテンション上がちゃって…なんだけど、坂道だから滑ちゃって滑ちゃって。酔っぱ らってるしダブルでヨロヨロでした(笑)。非常に疲れましたねぇ。オレね、雪が好きなんだよ。雨も好き。なんでもそうなんだけど…ゲームもそうで、要は ね、横スクロールするのがダメなの、オレ。だからなんだ。大好きなの、縦スクロール。ゲーム でもそうで、「ドラクエ」とかも、北へ行く確率のほうが多いからね(笑)。電車とか車とか人とのつきあいとか…全部横じゃん。でも、雨と雪は全部、縦だか ら。それがね、いいんだよね。縦スクロールがすごい好きだね、たぶん。なんでもそうだよ。ホームページとかもさ、横いっぱいまで広げないとダメなのオレ。 ちょっと見切れたりするじゃん。あれとか絶対だめ。どうすんだよ、これ!とか思う(笑)。だから雪は好きかな、そういう観点からいって。まぁ、話がそれだ けど(笑)、そういう外交って大事ですね。なんか…好きですね。こういう(取材や撮影)活動はさ、なんかアレじゃない？ちょっとね、上級な…だって、写真 撮ってもらうんだぜ？なんの因果か、こんな(寝グセの頭を指す)感じが、ね？あと30分ぐらいで、写真撮ってもらうじゃんか。それってスゴイことじゃな い。で…食べ物もこんなにいっぱいさ、タダで食べられたりさ？しかも、昼の2時からだよ？なんかさ…それだけじゃバランスが取れないんだろうね、きっと。 外交があって普通になれますよね。あと、ひとりの時間も大切です。ボクは自分が大好きなので、最終的に自分が一番かわいく死ねたらいいと思ってるタイプな んで、人間的に(笑)。だから、自分の時間は大切。まぁ、外交でもひとりになってますけどね。何人で集まってもその中でひとりでいられるし、ふたりでダレ かとごはん食べたとしてもひとりでいられるし。そういうことができるようになったから、あんまり考えることはないけどね。
Something important? That'd be... money! Yep money is important isn't it. (laughs) Also, basically, some things which people have, cant be bought with money? Like eyes for instance. I think about it whenever i hold a camera, but cameras have to focus on things one at a time, right? However, this guy (pointing to his own eye) while looking into the lens, has already focused in. No matter which direction you look. Like its on automatic. You know? Then it even shows the colors and shapes of things too. I've talked about this before in the past. Together with all my friends. Like, if we put the camera at 100000 (money), then what would the eye be? I've always thought about that. The answer? There is no answer! You cant put a price on it. It's priceless. (laughs) Also, I guess when i'm out drinking with everyone. I think that kind of thing is important too. I was just out drinking last night with Iwamatsu (Ryo)-san, Koizumi (Kyouko)-san, Arakawa Yoshiyoshi and Hiraiwa Kami-chan. They were out seeing a play and told me to come too. Its not like i dont know them, so i said, okay i'll go. (laughs) We spoke about stuff like "Oh that was like that" "And this was like this" while drinking.. that kind of stuff is fun. That was my first outing this year, yesterday. (laughs) When i was going home... there was snow falling when i left the bar, "Whoa, snow~!", and i got all excited.. but it was on a slope, so i was sliding all over the place too. Drunk and wobbling all over. (laughs) I was extremely exhausted. You know, I really like snow. Rain too. Its the same with anything like that.. even in games, I just cant deal with things that scroll sideways. So of course. I love things that go up and down. Its the same with games, like in 'Dragon Quest', the probability of going north is pretty high. (laughs) Trains, cars, relationships with people... they're all side scrolling. Rain and snow are all vertical things. Thats really nice I think. I really love things that scroll up and down, I guess. Its the same with anything. Even on web pages, if i dont make the window really wide I cant deal with it. That way you can see everything right? I just cant deal with it unless its like that. What am i supposed to do with this? kinda feeling. (laughs) So thats why i like snow, because of that point of view. Well, thats that (laughs), but those kind of outings are important. Somehow.. I like this. This kind of lifestyle (interviews and photo shoots), isnt it so that? Sort of, high class... afterall, I get to have my pictures taken. You start looking like this (pointing to his bed head), right? After about 30 minutes, you get your picture taken. Isnt that an amazing thing? Also.. having this much food here, and you can eat it all for free? On top of that, after 2 o'clock? Somehow... you cant really keep yourself balanced with stuff like that, for sure. Going out with others can return you to normal. Being alone is important too though. Since I love myself, in the end i'm the type that thinks it'd be nice to die in the most cute manner, as a human. (laughs) [sorry this didnt make much sense to me ^^;] So my own time is important. Well, even when i go out i end up alone though. I can be alone no matter how many people get together, even eating out together with one other person, I can be alone. Since i've become able to do that kind of thing, I havent thought about it much.

Please tell us what things and what people are important to you

    なんですかねぇ？あ! 朝の時間配分! すごい大事! オレ…ちょっと難しいんだよね(笑)。そこで1日が決まるって言っても過言じゃないじゃないですか。遅刻するかしないかは、その時間にかかってくるってい うね？オレね、朝、風呂に入っちゃうんですよ。必ずといっていいほど、湯舟に入っちゃうんですよ(笑)。だから、ちょっと早く起きてるんだけど、あの湯舟 の中の時間は、オレにとってすごく大切。どうしても入っちゃうの。特に今はさ、シャワーだけだと寒いじゃん。何をしてるわけでもないんだけど、普通にお風呂 に入って…なんかね、あの「よしっ、行こう!」って気になる感じがね、すごくいいんです。逆に、夜は入らなくていいんですよ。シャワーでいいの。考えごと とかもわりと朝の方がしてるかもしれない。だから、朝風呂に30分ぐらいはとられちゃうんですよ。で、オレいつも、家を出る1時間前に起きるんですけど。 風呂のことを考えたら、1時間半前に目覚ましセットしなきゃいけないでしょ？でも、そうするとさ、鳴ったときに「なんだ…もう30分寝れるじゃん」って なっちゃう。あれがねぇ、どうも難しいところなんですよ(笑)。どうすればいいのかなぁ？って。大切な朝の時間ですからね。ボクにとって、大きな問題です。
    あとは…友達とごはん行ったり飲みに行くのも、大切な時間だろうね。やっぱり仕事中は気が張ってるし、仕事が終わってから行くわけだから。そこで話して ることとか、すっごいくだらないことじゃない？友達と一緒のときだったら、オレ何も考えてないし、思いっきり解放してるから(笑)。やっぱり、テレビ出た りするときに、全部解放してたら…それはマズイでしょう(笑)。それを全部出せちゃうし、毒も吐くし(笑)、バカな話もするし…そういう時間っていうの は、だから大切なんだろうね。友達といる時間、家族といる時間もそうだし…そういう大切な人っていうのもいっぱいある。あ! あとはね、やっぱ健康。健康でいれることは、すごく大事ですよ。お金も大事だし、でも体壊して働けなくなっちゃったらお金どころじゃないでしょう？何に対 してもそうだと思うよ。健康はすべての基本かなって思う。あとは、なんだろうなぁ？何がある？人との出会い？あぁ～、それは大事にしてますね。人との出会 いで刺激を受けたり、勉強になったり、知らない世界を知る。それがすごくおもしろいんだよね。だから大切なんだと思う。こうやって考えると、いろいろ大切 なものってあるなぁ。だから、やっぱ、"バランス"ってことじゃない？すごい広いな…ものすごく広いくくりで申しわけないんだけど(笑)。心と体のバラン スもあるし、どこかバランスが悪かったら倒れちゃうでしょう？ものでもなんでもそうじゃん。あと、嵐5人過ごす時間とひとりの時間っていうのもバランス次 第だと思うし、健康もそう…くくりが広いから、なんにでも使えちゃうね(笑)。まとめると、バランスが大事です! って結論ですかね(笑)。
    Hmm I wonder.. Ah! How you spend your morning! Its really important! I.. well its a little hard to explain. (laughs) Even if i say that it decides the day, its exaggerating isnt it. Whether youre late or not is dependent on that time, right? You know, I take baths in the mornings. I think I can say for certain that i always get in the bath everyday. (laughs) So, I have to wake up a little early, but that time spent in the bathtub, is super important to me. I'll get in no matter what. Especially this time of year, if I only take a shower I'm still cold after. No matter what kind of things i'm doing, i normally take baths... somehow, that "alright lets go!!" feeling it gives me is really nice. On the other hand, its ok not to get in at night. A shower is fine. I might just be morning biased though. My morning bath can take around 30 minutes. I always wake up an hour before I need to leave, but when i think of the bath, i have to set my alarm clock for an hour and a half before right? But when i do that and it goes off I think, "what.. I still have another 30 min i can sleep". Thats really, troublesome some days. (laughs) "What should i do about this?", since its my precious morning time. It's a big dilemma for me.
    Also... going out to eat and drinking with friends is a very important time too, right? Afterall, since i cant feel at ease when i'm in the middle of working, thats the reason i go out after work. The things you end up talking about when youre out are just so silly and pointless. If I'm together with my friends, I dont think of anything and just let loose. (laughs) I mean, when i'm on tv, if i just completely let loose... that'd probably be bad. (laughs) I let all that out, release my poisons (laughs), talk about silly things... that kind of time is important because I can do exactly that. Time together with my friends, time together with my family is the same... I have so many of those kind of precious friends. Ah! And also, you cant forget your health. Living healthy is very important. Money is important too, but if you hurt yourself and cant get around anymore, its not really about money anymore right? I think thats the case no matter what. I think your health is the basis of everything. After that, hmm. Whats left? Encounters with others? Ah~, I treat that with extreme care. You can be inspired, learn things, discover a new world from meeting others. I think thats really cool. So its also important to me. Thinking about it, there really are a lot of different important things out there. So, you'd also need 'balance' between them all right? It's so vast.. although i'm sorry for the extremely vast tie in. (laughs) Theres also the balance between your mind and body, if something goes wrong you'll break down right? Everything's the same way. Also, I think the time i spend with Arashi and my time alone is all dependent on balance, the same with my health... since the connections are vast, i can use it with anything. (laughs) Bringing it all together, balance is important! and thats today's conclusion. (laughs)

omfg jun why do you have to write so freaking stupidly.. did you even know what you were talking about ;_;????

sigh.. //_- sorry I'm working on a long translation.. but never has what someone said made less sense.. its not the sentences so much as the whole thing seems to have no point.. >_> I wonder if he was overworked or something.. he even contradicted himself in the middle ;_;?????

anyways moving on.. the translations are on what they think are important things and people in their lives.. and i thought they were relatively interesting (jun's is interesting.. just a little.. sigh).. so i wanted to try answering it too.. so feel free to ignore this lol.. I was just moved by a lot of the things they said

----------

I feel like everything in my life is important to me. These are all the things that have made me who I am in life today. I wouldn't want to part with a single one of them, from cherished memories to silly things like my favorite pencil. I've always felt blessed in a way that I was able to have so many nice things in my life. Its hard to picture living in a less-developed country, where you have to worry about water and shelter on a daily basis sometimes. Thats why everything in my life is important to me, however at the same time there isn't one thing that stands above the rest, they're all equals in my mind. The only thing, or rather concept, that would fall above that would be love. But in the end, love is what makes up everything anyhow, at least to me, so it all rounds back out again. I wonder if you'd call this some kind of romantic view or something, but I really feel like love is the key to our very existence. So this kind of thing ties in with the people who are important to me too. However, I've never limited it to people that I love or love me, I've always treated everyone with the same importance in my life. People always laugh at me when I talk to a 3 year old like I would an 80 year old man, but in my mind, they're both worthy of the same respect from me. You'd be surprised though, children react to your respect for them and usually return it back to you. Just to me, every single life is just as important as the next. No one is above anyone else, we're all humans. No matter what amazing super awesome skills you have, that doesn't make you better than the guy who doesn't have amazing super awesome skills, because maybe he has super cool skills that you don't have. So in the end, you're both important, but no more than anyone else. Just being alive in itself pretty much earns my respect. Its hard to put criminals and such in this way of thinking, but to me, people are a result of their experiences, memories, etc, and I kind of relate them to less fortunate people who didn't have the opportunity to go to school and such. So even though a criminals past actions may disappoint me, I would never treat them badly because of it. As long as they are aware of the fact that I don't think what they did was right, thats enough for me. (I make it a point to try to stay away from scary people like that though.) Also, for people, I think smiling is a very important thing. A smile is such a powerful thing, it's really hard to describe what makes it so great. I think... No, I was a very strange child growing up. Maybe I still am. Every time I would wish upon a star in the night sky, every time I would ask for the same thing. "Please make everyone in the world happy. Please take away all the sadness. As much as you can, please. If only everyone could be happy..." The happiest thing for me, is seeing other people happy. I've always been selfless like that I guess. Although in result, I end up ignoring myself and often neglecting my own needs. I love making and seeing other people smile, so I'm glad I can make you all smile sometimes with my attempts at translating. Thats also the reason Arashi is dear to my heart. Sometimes the things they do, well most of the things they do, are so selfless and so full of love.. it's like they shine brighter than anyone I've ever met before, and its not because of their stylists. It's like if they had an aura around them that you could see, it would be the most beautiful, radiant color ever. They're truly an inspiration to me, and although its hard for me feel so strongly about any person or group of people, I just can't help it with them.

5人が真のキャプテンを決定! 嵐のキャプテンはいったい誰？!
ここからは、お待ちかねの座談会。今回は事前にメンバーにアンケートを実施。それでは、No. 1 キャプテンの発表です!! 栄誉ある(？!)キャプテンハットは誰の頭上に？
The true captain among the five is decided! Just who is the captain of Arashi?!
Here is the eagerly awaited free-talk session. This time around we had them take a survey before we started. From that we'll announce the No. 1 captain!! Just who's head will the honorable (?!) captain hat go to?

おしゃれキャプテンは？
おしゃれの極意は気分で服を選ぶこと!
Best dressed captain?
The main point of being well dressed is choosing your clothes based on your mood!

櫻井 - 相葉さんと松本さんが2票獲得で1位に対決。ふたりとも、いろんなタイプの服を持ってるからね。
二宮 - 日によってスタイルを変えてることがすごい。着てる服でその日の気分もわかるよね？
櫻井 - 「今日のマツジュンはジャージでカジュアル気分か」とか「相葉くんは短パンで今日のスネ毛は濃いな」とか。
相葉 - スネ毛はメンタル面とは関係ないでしょ(苦笑)。
大野 - いっぱい持ってる服の収納はどうしてるの？
松本 - インナーは色別にわけてたたんでしまってあるけど、パンツやアウターは見えやすいようにかけてある。
二宮 - そういう大野さんは？
大野 - 僕はほとんど引き出しにしまってるね。
相葉 - なるほど。それを上から順に着ていく、と(笑)。
松本 - だけど、家族が買ってきた服をあれだけ着こなせる技は俺にはマネできない。そういう意味でリーダーに1票入れたよ(笑)。
櫻井 - なんだ、そう考えたら実は、大野さんがいちばんおしゃれなんじゃないですか？
相葉 - そういえば下着もこだわってたっけ。いつも同じブランドでそろえてるもんね。
大野 - まあね(苦笑)。
二宮 - そういえば翔ちゃん、今日の私服のセーターずっと着てるよね(笑)。
櫻井 - ずっとじゃないだろ!
相葉 - あとドクロのニットも。
櫻井 - そうだよ。そのふたつのローテーションだよ。
(一同笑い)
櫻井 - でもインナーはめちゃめちゃ変えてますから(笑)。
二宮 - あのセーターはいつまで着るんですか？
櫻井 - そんなのワンシーズンずっと着るよ。ね、リーダー？
大野 - そのとおり!
Sakurai - Aiba and Matsumoto both have 2 votes so its a fight for first. They both have a lot of different styles of clothes.
Ninomiya - The way their style changes by the day is amazing. And you can also tell how they're feeling that day based on what they're wearing.
Sakurai - "MatsuJun has on a jersey today so hes in a carefree mood?" or "Aiba has shorts on, today's leg hair is thick."
Aiba - Leg hair has nothing to do with my mood. (bitter smile)
Ohno - What do you do with all those clothes though?
Matsumoto - My underwear are divided by colors, folded, and put away, but my pants and outerwear are hung in an easy to see manner.
Ninomiya - What about you Ohno?
Ohno - Mine are pretty much all put away in drawers.
Aiba - I see. Then you just wear them from the top of the pile to the bottom. (laughs)
Matsumoto - But i couldn't imitate your art of wearing the clothes your family buys for you. So because of that I put in a vote for you leader. (laughs)
Sakurai - Actually, if you think about it, isnt Ohno the best dressed one?
Aiba - Now that you mention it, wasnt he picky about his underwear too? Always wearing the same brand, right?
Ohno - I guess... (bitter smile)
Ninomiya - Speaking of that, Sho-chan, you're always wearing that 'mystyle' sweater aren't you? (laughs)
Sakurai - Not always!
Aiba - That one worn-out knit sweater too.
Sakurai - That's right. I just rotate those two in and out.
(They all laugh at the same time.)
Sakurai - But i change my underwear like crazy. (laughs)
Ninomiya - How long do you plan on wearing that sweater?
Sakurai - I'll wear it for the entire season. Right leader?
Ohno - Exactly!

おしゃれキャプテンはこの人! (松本・相葉)
The well-dressed captains are these two! ( Matsumoto / Aiba )

ものしりキャプテンは？
大野はさかなクン、二宮は雑学担当？!
Knowledgeable captain?
Ohno is Mr. fisherman, Ninomiya is the trivia man?!

相葉 - ここではニノと翔ちゃんが同率で1位となりました。ま、俺はリーダーに入れたんだけどね。だって最近、みょうに魚にくわしいから。
櫻井 - 今や"ジャニーズのさかなクン"だもんな(笑)。
相葉 - そうそう。「GRA」にさかなクンがゲストに来たときもかなり話が合ってた(笑)。
大野 - いや～、みんなそんなにほめないでよ。
二宮 - 別にほめてないよ(笑)。
櫻井 - 俺はニノに入れたよ。だってこの人ね、ものすごくテレビ見てるせいか雑学いっぱい知ってるんだよ。
松本 - そういえば、最近、雑学番組多いもんね。
二宮 - じゃ、ここで雑学をひとつ。"目クソ鼻クソ"って言葉があるんじゃない？"どっちもどっち"という意味だけど、実はまばたきしないと目に入ったホコリが目クソになって、まばたきすると鼻にまわって鼻クソになるんだって。
4人 - へー。
櫻井 - じゃ、もとは同じものなんだ。つまりは、まばたきするなってことだな。
二宮 - いや、それはしたほうがいいでしょう(苦笑)。
大野 - 俺もニノに入れたよ。ニノは俺がどんな質問をしても、必ず答えてくれるからね。
二宮 - やっぱりものしりは翔ちゃんだよ。なんたっていつも新聞を持ってますから。
櫻井 - あ、あれファッションだから(笑)。
松本 - そうだったの(笑)？でも「NEWS ZERO」見てると、ふだん新聞読んでるのがいかされてるなぁと思うよ。
二宮 - 翔ちゃんは日ごろから、"ジャニーズの山田五郎さん"になりたいって言ってますからね。
櫻井 - そう。「山田太郎ものがたり」への出演はその布石です(笑)。
松本 - 山田太郎役じゃなかったけどな(笑)。
Aiba - Both Nino and Sho-chan got the same points so they both get first place. I voted for leader though. Because lately hes extremely knowledgeable about fish.
Sakurai - He's the "Mr. fisherman of Johnny's" now. (laughs)
Aiba - True true. When we had that fisherman guest on GRA before, they talked to each other a lot.
Ohno - Nah~, you all shouldn't praise me like that.
Ninomiya - We're not really praising you. (laughs)
Sakurai - I voted for Nino. This kid knows so much trivia, I wonder if its because of the ridiculous amount of tv he watches.
Matsumoto - Now that you mention it, there are a lot of trivia based shows lately.
Ninomiya - Then let me teach you one piece of trivia. Theres the saying "for the sleep in one's eyes to laugh at the snot in one's nose(the pot calling the kettle black)" right? It just means dont mess in other peoples business, but if you dont blink, they say the dust in your eyes will become eye mucus, and if you blink it becomes snot in your nose.
Other 4 - Ohhh.
Sakurai - So it was originally the same thing.  So its saying not to blink?
Ninomiya - No, I think you're better off blinking. (bitter smile)
Ohno - I voted for Nino too. He can always give me an answer, no matter what kind of question i ask him.
Ninomiya - Its gotta be Sho-chan though. He's always got a newspaper with him.
Sakurai - Ah, thats just fashion. (laughs)
Matsumoto - It is? (laughs) But watching NEWS ZERO, i think reading the newspaper regularly would be kinda helpful.
Ninomiya - Sho-chan is saying everyday how he wants to become "Johnny's Yamada Gorou".
Sakurai - Yep. Acting in "Yamada Tarou Monogatari" was preparation for just that.
Matsumoto - Even though you weren't 'Yamada Tarou' right? (laughs)

ものしりキャプテンはこの人! (櫻井・二宮)
The knowledgeable captains are these two! ( Sakurai / Ninomiya )

ワイルドキャプテンは？
言葉違いと顔の濃さで松本が殿堂入り？!
Wild captain?
Matsumoto takes the spot in the hall of fame for mixing up words and his pronounced face?!

相葉 - これは、もう圧倒的に松本さんですね。
大野 - マツジュン自身は誰に入れたの？
松本 - 該当者なしだけど、あえて選ぶなら俺かなぁ、と。
(一同笑い)
二宮 - その答え方こそがワイルド! 松本さんはもう殿堂入りを予想して櫻井さんに1票を投じました。だって翔ちゃんがジュース飲んだら、ペットボトルがつぶれちゃいますからね。
櫻井- 意図的ではないんだけどね(苦笑)。
相葉 - 吸引力がありすぎるんだろうね。あとベストとか着ると、より男らしい!
櫻井 - それって、上腕二頭筋を見せたらってこと(苦笑)？それより、松本さんのほうがワイルドさでは格段に上だよ。
大野 - うん、マツジュンは言葉違いからしてワイルドだよ。
相葉 - 例えば？
大野 - 現場で俺があいさつすると「聞こえねーよ」って返事が返ってくる(笑)。
(一同笑い)
二宮 - それは言葉違いの問題じゃないでしょう(笑)。
相葉 - マツジュンからリーダーへの愛のムチって感じ(笑)？
大野 - それにパッと見た雰囲気もワイルド!
松本 - それは濃いってこと？
大野 - いや、そうは言ってないです…。
櫻井 - でも、そういうことですよね？
二宮 - リーダー、ここは謝っといたほうがいいよ。
大野 - スイマセン(笑)!
Aiba - This was overwhelmingly Matsumoto's win.
Ohno - Who did you vote for MatsuJun?
Matsumoto - There wasn't a qualified person, so i figured i'd take it into my own hands and vote for myself.
(They all laugh at the same time.)
Ninomiya - That kind of answering in itself is wild! Figuring that Matsumoto was a shoe-in for the hall of fame, I put in a vote for Sakurai. Cuz when he drinks juice, he always ends up crushing his plastic bottle.
Sakurai - Its not like its on purpose you know. (bitter smile)
Aiba - He just has too much sucking power. And when he wears vests and stuff he looks more manly!
Sakurai - You mean when i show my biceps? (bitter smile) But Matsumoto's wildness is much more remarkable than mine.
Ohno -  Yea, the way MatsuJun acts after he mixes up words is wild.
Aiba - Like?
Ohno - If i go to say hi to him on set, i get a "I cant hear you!" in response. (laughs)
(They all laugh at the same time.)
Ninomiya - Thats probably not because hes mixing up words though. (laughs)
Aiba - It's MatsuJun's way of showing leader his love? (laughs)
Ohno - The way he stands out is wild too!
Matsumoto - You mean my pronounced-ness?
Ohno - No, I didnt say that....
Sakurai - But thats what it is right?
Ninomiya - Leader, here is when you should apologize.
Ohno - My bad! (laughs)

ワイルドキャプテンはこの人! (松本)
The wild captain is this person! (Matsumoto)

キュートキャプテンは？
年齢不詳の大野に櫻井の笑顔も最強
Cute captain?
A clash between ageless Ohno and Sakurai smiles

櫻井- 2票獲得で大野さんがキュートキャプテンです!
大野 - ホントに？俺は翔くんに入れたけどね。だって、(ポポロを見ながら)雑誌の笑顔がホントにキュート!
櫻井 - なんか大野さんに言われると気持ち悪いなぁ(苦笑)。
二宮 - でも、超フレッシュなHey!Say!JUMPも同じ雑誌に載ってますからね。彼らとキュートさで張り合うのはむずかしいですよ。
櫻井 - そうだよ。みんなも俺みたいにHey!Say!JUMPと横並びで仕事してみなよ。そうすれば、自分が彼らに比べてかなりオッサンだってことがわかるから(苦笑)。
大野 - でも翔くんもキュートさでは負けてないって!
櫻井 - ホントに(苦笑)？そういう大野さんこそ、超カワイイって。
相葉 - リーダーはヒゲ生やしててもキュートだもんね。とても27歳には見えない。だけど、キュートといえば、やっぱりニノもはずせないよね。
櫻井 - 確かに! (キャップをうしろにかぶった二宮を見て)この帽子スタイルがこれだけ似合う人も他にいない。
相葉 - まさに少年ですよ!
松本 - だけど、相葉さんだって昔はヒロミさんに"永遠のスーパーアイドル"って言われてたじゃないですか？
相葉 - 「8時だJ」に出てたころね。そういえば、そんなこともありました(笑)。
松本 - あのころの相葉ちゃんはキュートだった(笑)。今でも雑誌で見る笑顔の写真には、当時の面影が感じられるよ。
Sakurai - With two votes Ohno is the cute captain!
Ohno - Really? I put in Sho-kun though. Cuz look, (while looking at popolo) his smiles are really cute!
Sakurai - Somehow, having Ohno tell me that makes me a bit uncomfortable. (bitter smile)
Ninomiya - But the super fresh Hey! Say! JUMP are in the same magazine too. It's hard to compete against their cuteness.
Sakurai - Thats right. You shouldnt try to line up someone like me next to Hey! Say! JUMP. If you do that, I'll look like some kinda of old man when you compare us. (bitter smile)
Ohno - But your cuteness is tough, it wont lose!
Sakurai - Really? (bitter smile) But even saying that, you yourself are super cute Ohno.
Aiba - Even if he has a slight beard he's still cute. He really doesnt look 27. But if you mention cuteness, you can't forget about Nino either.
Sakurai - Definetly! (looking at Ninomiya with his hat on backwards) There's no one else that that kind of style would look good on.
Aiba - Naturally young!
Matsumoto - But Aiba, weren't you called "an eternal super-idol" by Hiromi-san in the past?
Aiba - When i was on "It's 8 o'clock J/8ji da J". Now that you mention it, there was a time like that. (laughs)
Matsumoto - You were really cute back then. (laughs) You can still see the cute face from those days in your magazine shots today.

キュートキャプテンはこの人! (大野)
The cute captain is this person! (Ohno)

ハプニングキャプテンは？
ミラクル級の相葉を近年、櫻井が追随中
Accident captain?
Sakurai is following in Miracle Aiba's steps recently

二宮 - ここでは相葉さんが3票獲得してます。
相葉 - ぶっちぎり1位ですか。ありがとうございます(笑)。
二宮 - でも僕は櫻井さんと迷ったんです。ミルクルを起こすという点では相葉さんのほうが上だけど、ここ最近の櫻井さんのハプニング率も目を見張るものがありますから。
松本 - 同感! コンサートで踊ってても、振りを間違えて、ある瞬間に俺のほうを向いてたことがあったし(笑)。
相葉 - 俺もその現場は確認した! でも櫻井さん自身は、あの出来事をハプニングと認識してるんですかね？間違えてもわりと自信満々な能度のときが多いんですよ(笑)。
松本 - いや、あのときは目が合った瞬間「あれ？!」って表情そしてましたよ(笑)。
櫻井- 「Cry for you」を歌ってるときでしょ(苦笑)。あのとき、半周回る振りを1周しちゃってマツジュンと目が合っちゃったんだよね。12年間踊ってきて、半周で止まれなかったのなんて初めてだよ(苦笑)。でも、ハプニングキャプテンは相葉さんだよ!
大野 - 確かに相葉ちゃんのハプニングの出方には天性のものがあるね。前に「志村どうぶつ園」で、犬といっしょに雪の上をソリで走ってるのを見たけど、これがもうハプニングの連続で大爆笑だった。
相葉 - リーダーがオンエアを見てくれていたとは…。ま、自分でもハプニング王の自覚はありますが、今回ばかりは僕はニノに1票入れました。
大野 - ニノとハプニングってあんまり結びつかないけど？
相葉 - それが、この間いっしょにゴルフに行って驚きでしたよ。ニノの打った球が、前ではなくなぜか後ろに飛んでったの! 今までゴルフやってて、あんなミラクルショット、初めて見ましたよ(笑)。
二宮 - 確かにあれは、自分でもビックリしたよ(苦笑)。
Ninomiya - Aiba received 3 votes for this one.
Aiba - A clear victory? Why thank you. (laughs)
Ninomiya - I was wavering a little on Sakurai though. Aiba definitely creates many more miracles, but lately I've been amazed at the amount of incidents from Sakurai too.
Matsumoto - Me too! Even when hes dancing for a concert, there was a time when he messed up on a step and just for a second he was looking right at me. (laughs)
Aiba - I can confirm that too! But does he himself realize it when he's doing it? Even if he messes something up, hes relatively full of confidence most of the time. (laughs)
Matsumoto - No, that instant when our eyes met, he was like "huh?". (laughs)
Sakurai - Probably when we were singing "Cry for you". (bitter smile) That time, I spun all the way around when i was only supposed to spin half way and was looking right at MatsuJun. Dancing for 12 years now, thats the first time I couldnt stop at half way. (bitter smile) But the accident captain is Aiba!
Ohno - Theres definetly a naturalness to Aiba's accidents. Before on "Shimura Zoo", I watched when he was running around with a dog on a sled in the snow, but it was just a series of accidents and i burst out laughing.
Aiba - The fact that leader watched my show... Well, I already know i'm the king of accidents, but just this time I put in a vote for Nino.
Ohno - You dont really see Nino linked to accidents that often...
Aiba - It's because i was surprised when i went golfing with him the other day. The ball he hit, didnt go forward, but somehow it flew behind him! That was the first time i'd ever seen such a miracle shot in all the times i've gone golfing.
Ninomiya - Yea that definetly surprised me too. (bitter smile)

The accident captain is this person! (Aiba)

嵐・大野、連ドラ初出演＆初主演…ＴＢＳ系「魔王」
Arashi - Ohno : first drama series & first time as main actor... TBS's "The Devil King // Maou"

人気グループ、嵐のリーダー、大野智（２７）が７月スタートのＴＢＳ系「魔王」（金曜後１０・０）で連続ドラマ初出演＆初主演することが８日、分かった。 ジャニーズＪｒ．の生田斗真（２３）とＷ主演。作品は昨年、韓国で放送された人気サスペンスドラマをリメーク。大野は肉親を殺され、復讐（ふくしゅう）を 企てる弁護士役に挑み、新境地を見せる。
Ohno Satoshi (27), leader of popular group Arashi, will star in a new drama series, both firsts for him, starting in July on TBS, The Devil King (Fridays at 10pm). He'll play along side Johnny's Jr. Toma Ikuta (23). It's a remake of a popular Korean suspense drama released last year. Ohno will take on the role of a lawyer seeking revenge for his murdered relatives, we'll get to see a new side of him.

嵐のリーダーとして、コンサートやバラエティーで活躍する大野が、満を持して連ドラデビューを飾る。
As Arashi's leader Ohno participates actively in their concerts and variety shows, but this is his long-awaited drama series debut.

「魔王」は昨年、韓国ＫＢＳで放送されたサスペンス。肉親を無惨に殺された男の人生のすべてを賭けた復讐劇が話題を呼び、「魔王族」と呼ばれるコアなファ ンが何千人規模で集会を開くほど、韓国国内で社会現象を巻き起こしたドラマ。今回その話題作をリメークし、大野は天使の仮面をかぶった復讐の鬼と化す弁護 士役に挑む。
"The Devil King" was a suspense show aired last year on KBS in Korea. A man puts his life on the line, who has had his family tragically murdered, in a story of revenge that gave rise to a social phenomenon all throughout Korea, so much that hardcore fans called "the devil king clan" held a meeting for many thousands of people. This time around in the remake of that show Ohno will take on the lawyer role who turns into a vengeful demon wearing an angelic mask.

大野といえば、抜群の舞台センスで知られる。平成１３年に少年隊の「ＰＬＡＹＺＯＮＥ」で初舞台を踏み、以来アドリブ満載の難役から殺陣の演技まで幅広くこなし、実力は折り紙つき。１５年に始まった主演舞台「風（プー）」シリーズも高評価を得ている。
Speaking of Ohno makes you think of his unrivaled talent in stage plays. His first stage play experience was in "PLAYZONE" in 1999, since then he's played hard roles full of ad-libbing to sword fighting roles, with extensive range and guaranteed quality. He's also earned an amazing reputation for his Pu-series which started in 2001.

高橋正尚プロデューサーは「バラエティー番組などで見せる穏やかで、ちょっとトボけた人柄でも知られていますが、その奥底に潜む独特の謎めいた魅力に気づ いている方も多いはず。弁護士という表の顔とは裏腹に、実は冷酷な復讐鬼＝魔王という役柄を、彼が演じるからこそ恐ろしさが増すに違いありません」と起用 理由を説明する。
Producer Takahashi 正尚(Masahisa?) explains why he's chosen Ohno for this role : "He's normally known for his rather innocent personality and calm demeanor he shows on variety shows and such, but I'm sure there are many people that have noticed a peculiar mysterious quality concealed underneath that. Opposite to what you'd expect of a lawyer, this is actually a rutheless vengeful demon = devil king role, but because he is portraying this, there's no mistake that its frightfulness will grow."

大野は役づくりのために髪を切り、黒く染めた。「初めての連ドラなので楽しんでやりたいと思っていますが、特殊な設定なので日常もストイックになりそうで すね（笑）。復讐なんてやったこともないし、考えたこともない。難しい役ですが、みなさんの期待に応えられるよう頑張ります」と気合が入る。
In order to get ready for the role Ohno has cut and dyed his hair. "Since this is my first drama series I'd like to enjoy myself while filming, but because of its unique setting, it seems like I'll become stoic everyday too. (laughs) I've never taken revenge or even thought about it. It's a difficult role, but I'll be doing my best to meet your expectations."
 
一方、昨年の人気ドラマ「花ざかりの君たちへ～イケメン♂パラダイス～」で一躍脚光を浴びた生田が、謎の連続殺人事件を追う刑事役でＷ主演する。大野とは 過去に舞台での共演はあるが、ドラマでは初共演。「みんなで刺激し合い、新しく、それでいて深みのあるドラマにしたい」と意気込んでいる。
Coincidentally, Ikuta, who entered the limelight last year with the popular drama "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~ Ikemen Paradise", plays a detective alongside Ohno following a series of mysterious murders. He has co-starred with Ohno in plays in the past, but this is the first time being together in a drama. With enthusiasm he notes, "I hope to meet everyones desires with this new, and also deep drama."
