[M-Sta] Arashi - One Love

20 June 2008

[Unrelated but OMFG AI and Tsuchiya Anna are also in this episode!!! Tsuchiya Anna looks so pretty, as usual! Ayaka as well! I wanna watch!]

Because the Mini-Sta parts and the talk parts are... subbed. So, I feel wary about putting the screencaps here with the subs. So... performance only! xD

Mini Station

Arashi uses weird hand signals. Ohno misses fishing while juggling drama and the tour. Missing fishing for two weeks is too much for Ohno. Ohno does not wear suntan lotion when he goes fishing because he WANTS his skin to peel off. Nino thinks that the leader is great for wanting his skin to peel off. Yes, sure. The other day, my friend Tom walked around naked on the streets and got caught by the cops. I told him "You should have known you'd be caught." and he was all smartass and was like " I WANT the cops the catch me." Same thing really. But so much cuter and believable when Ohno does it. Why? Although Ohno spends 12 hours on the boat each trip out to fish, he refuses to spend a few minutes of the time teaching the fellow members fishing. We can see that Ohno is so generous with his time. Jun was unable to comprehend the reason for the hand signals but did it anyways.

Talks

At the intro, Jun was announced to be the most famous Jun in Japan. You know... how the Japanese like puns... and it is the month of June... Yeah. Nino and Aiba played baseball with a member of RSP. I think. Oh yeah, and Sho is a scaredy cat. At least among Arashi. They watched a clip from the tour where they were hoisted 30 meters above ground level and had to sing there and they had to spin vertically, only Sho didn't. I saw the clip, Sho's face... xDDD it wasn't fake fear. Fear!!

The boys look great in their white suits and the setting looks.... fitting. I guess, since the song pledges true and irreplaceable love. They are provided with two dancers, decked in wedding costumes. Finally, Arashi is given at least one female dancer. I find that female dancers are only given to Johnny's groups with a certain level of experience. I bet the young ones would shag the female dancers without a second thought.

And for the very, very first time, I have to say, the members seem to sparkle and look great. All of them have the right hairstyle. At least to me. They look great, it almost brought tears to my eyes. But it didn't. What made my cry, was MatsuJun's singing. OMFG.

I wanted to weep when MatsuJun was singing his second solo line. That one with the "Hyakunen saki mo..." His voice went way off and I am sure the other members wished that they never gave him that line. (Joke, joke, I am sure the members are supportive despite MatsuJun's inability to sing.) I seriously backed off from the monitor, into my chair and went "Oh mother of all things rotten and contaminated! What the fuck is that?!" I kid you not.

Geez. Like, if MatsuJun was not born with that pretty face of his, he'd have to beg for meals if singing is all that he can do. That face is his saving grace. (A damn good one at that.) Yet another proof that you cannot have it all. God is fair. ^^ The choreography is reminiscent of what kindergarten kids would be taught because... um... their bones are not fully developed yet, therefore, excessive moving is not encouraged.

Nice flowers on their chest though. I like Nino's but Ohno's look like the flower fairy threw up on him. xD Why does Aiba get the ugly scarf? The scarf should be thrown away or given to Go Hiromi. xD Sho looks dashing with the hair... I don't know, perhaps they styled it well. Jun's curly hair... I like! Makes him look younger. Aiba... ah... a wee bit messy, intentionally, of course... xD Nino... looks clean cut and... forgive me, but his expressions are way fake. Ohno looks... tired. The eyebags.

I really cannot take Sho and Aiba seriously anymore. I can almost see the words "idiot" and "stupid" on their forehead. ^^ Love it though~~ The ending pose, I don't.
