Happy New Year 2014 to everyone! So many things happened in a single year, and we're now entering Arashi's 15th year. Looking forward for more Yamapair moments to enjoy *cheers* But I guess, it's counter-intuitive to be asking for more when we're taking for granted about great things that already happened and not be properly grateful for those.

So after a bit of self-reflection; this is my first post for the new year and well, my resolution shall be about updating more regularly for this is my way to show my gratitude for the abundance of yamapair moments and the amazing kindred souls who share the love for yamapair like I do. I shall try my best!

Now, putting my 'personal thoughts' aside; here I'm continuing with another issue of Non-no which paired Ohno and Sho together. The theme is "Adult Men"; given by Nino and he had the impression that being adult means to have own family/household. So based on that, Ohno and Sho were assigned to do the photography with babies! Such wonderful combination, don't you think so? They also spoke about what it means to be adult, shared their thoughts on each other and the members in regards to this.

In this particular magazine, there were various stuffs that I wanted to post up; but for the time being, this is one of them.

It had Ohno solo interview in conjunction with the release of his first solo single "Kumori Nochi Kaisei" as the theme song for his drama "Uta no Oniisan". There was one segment where questions submitted by the readers were answered by him, and although I think the answer for one particular question won't really come off as a surprise to most of us, he explained in more details of how he imagined it would be if it were to actually happen.

Q：　日メンバーと入れ替われるとしたら、誰と入れ替わりますか？（福岡県．22歳女性）
大野：翔くん。『NEWS ZERO』（日テレ系）に出演して、できない翔くんになる（ニヤリ）。見た目は翔くんだけど、中身は自分だから、原稿も噛み噛みだし、フリートークでも全然しゃべれないし、ずっとオドオドしているし。

OS：　しゃべりもそうだけど、たたずまいとか、視線の感じから、ふたりは対照的ですもんね（笑）。
大野：そう。だからね、番組終了後は翔くんの知り合いからいっぱいメールがくると思う。「どうしたの？」「何があったの？」って（笑）

A group talk they had to re-cap the major events throughout 2008. Please note that I am only posting parts which has a connection to both Ohno & Sho but will retain some lines to keep the flow of conversation.


( A: I can't imagine it at all. Sakurai-kun getting all worked up over flowers. )

( A: Why didn't you jump off together? )

Taken from the September issue. A small section which asks each member 'major event' related to other members. One of them are clearly putting a huge deal over something which happened years ago.

楽屋が一緒だったミュージカル。

大野：　『WEST SIDE STORY』で翔くんと楽屋が一緒で。いつも５人だし、10年で約1か月、２人だけの楽屋ってほかになかったし、楽しかった。毎日2人同じものを出前してなあ。

Musical stage play that had us sharing a single dressing room.

O: During "WEST SIDE STORY", I shared dressing room with Sho-kun. Since it's usually the 5 of us together and that there's no other chance of just the two of us sharing a single room within these time span of 10 years and about a month, it was fun. Everyday the two of us will have the same things for meals.

継続する力を見せてもらった。

櫻井：　大野智個展。すげぇなって思った。アートのことはよくわからないけど、ひとつのことを継続する力をみせてもらったな。その後、釣りにハマってこんな真っ黒くなるとは。（笑）

I was shown the power of continual effort

S: Satoshi Ohno's personal (art) exhibition. I thought it was impressive. I know nothing much about art, but I was shown the power of continual effort (by him). Other than that, the fact that he had gotten so obsessed with fishing, he turned out so dark. XD
