2013 OCTOBER: MAGAZINE (MONTHLY TV GUIDE) - "ARASHI NATIONAL REFERENDUM"

Hello again, dearies! I'm popping out again from my usual I-wanna-update-but-guh-maybe-tomorrow (often) short-term lazy syndrome~

This was published around 24HR TV this year; it was actually a survey consisting of 10 questions that was done between 12th to 16th August 2013, notified through twitter with the votes sent in through e-mails. About 300 people responded to the survey, which the magazine compiled and announced in this issue. Among the questions were: "What's your favorite drama/movie character acted by this member?", "With whom do you want this member to act with?", "What kind of food do you want to eat with this member?", "Which historical figure do you think most befitting in character with this member?", among others.

Basically the magazine stated what's the most voted for each members in every category (except for one question; where they lined up the top 3 for each members), with the 'runner-ups' mentioned briefly. Comments that were considered worthy to be mentioned were briefly included. No actual counts of votes were given.

So what caught my eye was for one category, which was the 6th question: "If Arashi is a family...?"; where the respondents voted for the most suitable familial role for each member. Which role did Ohno and Sho get the most according to the survey?


大野智 ⇒ お父さん
圧倒的に多かったのが父。「優しそう」(16歳・女性)、「嵐を支えてるから」(20歳・女性)、「家長=リーダー」(39歳・女性)など納得の理由が並んだ。

こんな意見もあった!: リーダーをお父さんに例えた理由が、「うちのお父さんと雰囲気が似てるから」(32歳・女性)。あまりに個人的な理由ですが、気持ちはわかります。
Satoshi Ohno ⇒ Father
An overwhelming number of votes for 'father'. "He seems kind/gentle."(16yo | f), "Because he's supporting Arashi"(20yo | f) and "The family head = Leader" were among the reasons that were generally agreed upon.

There's even such comment!: The reason given for likening Leader as father; "Because he has the same aura as my Dad."(32yo | f). It's very much a personal reason, but we understand that feeling.

櫻井翔 ⇒ お母さん
「大野くんと夫婦みたいだから」(24歳・女性)という声が多数。中でも「宿題やったの?って聞かれそう」(14歳・女性)、「いろいろ厳しそう」(18歳・女性)など、しっかり者の母のイメージが強いようだ。
Sho Sakurai ⇒ Mother
"Because (he) seems like husband and wife with Ohno-kun." (20yo | f), is the majority view (for choosing Sho as mother). Among other reasons were: "I feel like (he) might ask me, 'Have you done your homework?' "(14yo | f), "Seems like he is strict about various things."(14yo | f); it appears that he has a strong image of being a mother who has a firm character.




Below is the illustration provided in the magazine, which shows the other members' respective roles that they were voted the most. Please note that I've edited the image to erase out article text and to put everyone in a single image.

Arashi family



















Translation for speech bubbles:
Ohno (Father) ⇒ 今日はごちそうだ!![ What a feast we have today!!]
Sho (Mother) ⇒ 雅紀、手を洗いなさい [Masaki, wash your hand first]
Aiba (Eldest Son) ⇒ あ~お腹空いた [Ah~ I'm hungry]
Jun (Second Son) ⇒ 待って~ [Wait for me~]
Nino (The Pet) ⇒ ニャ ~ [ Miaow~]

What do you guys think? Somehow I'm reminded by the radioshow I've translated before here. Randomness that came up in 2001 is still relevant this year, haha.



Actually there's another category that made my fluffy shipping-helmet beeped. The question is: "Which manga would you like to see each member act in, and what's the character?".

Ohno received the most votes for "Shingeki no Kyojin"(Attack on Titan) as "Lance Corporal Levi":
-- 「人類最強の兵士」と讃えられる人物。刈り上げた髪型や160㌢台の身長など、ビジュアル面にリーダーと共通点があることから「実写化するなら絶対リーダー」(20歳・女性)と多くの支持を集めた。--
-- The character that is being praised as the 'humanity's most powerful soldier'. Since he shares similar visual features with Leader, such as his trimmed up, close cropped hairstyle and having a height range of 160cm, many supports for "If the manga gets produced for a live action, then it must be Leader."(20yo | f) were gathered. --

As for Sho, although he was most voted to act in "Detective Conan" as "Shinichi Kudo", it was also noted that he also received votes to act in Shingeki no Kyojin as "Eren Jaeger".
-- エレンとは「顔が似ている」(20歳・女性)という声が多く --
-- We received numerous comments (for choosing Sho as Eren) that "(Sho's) face resembles Eren."(20yo | f) --

So the basis is that they both have physical likeness to the two characters; now everytime I'm watching the anime, I can't help but see Ohno and Sho for their respective characters xD. There was no mention of any other members being voted for Shingeki no Kyojin in the survey result.

Come to think of it, before I watched the anime, I saw a photo-shopped image of Ohno and Sho as Levi and Eren (at the time I didn't have any idea who the characters were) in weibo. To me, Levi is like a combination of Naruse and Kei Enomoto while Eren and Sho resembles each other in personality; stubborn and passionate about things they believe in.

Any SnK fans here? :D

XDDDD

Good to know the married perspective hasnt changed at all in Japanese fandom XDDDDDDDD

They haven't changed! Being called 'married couple' or 'papa and mama of arashi' since 2001 until now is amazing! That means they really give off the atmosphere of married couple! If not, fans wouldn't say those comments <333 Especially this comment : "Because (he) seems like husband and wife with Ohno-kun." (20yo | f) <333 *flail happily*

The illustration picture is cute btw XD

I haven't heard about Shingeki no Kyoujin before, but if there will be live action from it and both Ohno and Sho are playing it, I would like to watch it XD

Thank you for this XD <3

//raises hand

Here! I'm an SnK fan! And you know why, lol!
Sho-chan as a strict and fussy wife, and a strict-er, fussier mama--I can totally see where this is coming from! XD
And great work on the image! It looks cooler than in the mag.

I still don't see Sho as 'Detective Conan'. Kogorou Mouri, maybe. LOL!
But Levi and Eren! Yes! It's perfect!
It seems the yama community's got bitten by the SnK bug. People should seriously be warned how it gets pretty addictive.XD

Otsukare! //hugs <3<3<3
