satoshi no freestyle

There are many random polls, polls not organized by "legitimate" portals such as Oricon or goo you can find in the Japanese interwebs and most of them tend to be very silly or hurtful towards some celebrities or groups. However, once in a while there are actually some interesting polls and sometimes even polls that don't allow users to freely add choices of their own (tends to become quite monotonous).

Music magazine "Oricon Style (オリ★スタ)" has conducted a survey on "Which male artist has the higher likeability". Popular group Arashi (嵐) won the 1st, bearing down all other artists such as Mr. Children or Masaharu Fukuyama (福山雅治). In the news program "Zoom-in!! Saturday（ズームイン!!サタデー）" on March 27th, Satoshi Ohno (大野智) and Masaki Aiba (相葉雅紀) talked about their likeability.

Ohno was asked about the reason of their likeability at the shooting scene of the drama "Kaibutsu Kun/怪物くん (lit. Little monster)", and he answered "Isn't it normal?" with Ohno-style. As to the question, "Which member of Arashi has won the best likeability?", Ohno said: "It is Aiba-chan, isn't it?" because Aiba has become more and more popular after playing the main role in the drama "My Girl (マイガール)".

On the other hand, Aiba was interviewed at another place with the question who was the most favorable member, "Honestly speaking, it is me (laugh). No, it's a joke. I'm joking." Aiba answered humorously. Then interviewer told Aiba that "Ohno-kun answered 'Aiba-chan' to the same question." Aiba was like "What?! Me? It's so embarrassing...Leader didn't say 'Me'??" It seems Aiba was quite confused with Ohno's response.

Arashi's new single "Troublemaker" was released on March 3rd and now has hit big nationwide. Their DVD "ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5×10" is scheduled to release on April 7th and is expected to take over the chart again.

The 26th annual Best Jeanist awards were presented on Sunday. For the fourth consecutive year, KAT-TUN member Kazuya Kamenashi and singer Kumi Koda were voted #1 in the public selection category.

More than 70,000 votes were counted between October of last year and this past August. Kamenashi won another clear victory with almost 26,000 votes, while Arashi's Masaki Aiba came in second with about 8,500 votes. Koda, on the other hand, received 7,000 votes to beat aiko (5,500 votes).

This gives both Koda and Kamenashi a chance to win their fifth awards next year, which will place them in the "hall of fame" and remove them from future ballots. So far, Takuya Kimura, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Ayumi Hamasaki have been put in the hall of fame.

For the committee selection awards, the winners were Miyuki Hatoyama (the wife of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama), DAIGO, and the group SPEED. In the international category, which was established last year, Taiwanese actor Jerry Yan received the award.

On October 29th the Arashi members Ohno Satoshi and Aiba Masaki attended the press announcement of several TV commercials that promote a new line of cell phones. In the TV ads the five Arashi members appear wearing all-black outfits. They discuss freely the selling points of the new mobile phones. During the conference Ohno and Aiba displayed a newly added feature of one of the cell phones; it enables the user to take 20 photos in rapid succession. Ohno was impressed, and seemed eager to try out a 'new career'. "I never realized cell phones have become so advanced! Maybe I should become a photographer."

Aiba immediately cut in. "Johnny's members aren't allowed to have side jobs!" Everyone at the conference chuckled. Aiba said that they had filmed four different versions of the commercials, and he was very pleased with the results. "I think we were able to act naturally. They don't look scripted."

In one of the versions Arashi check out a slide type phone that has the thinnest body among all phones sold by the company. The members say "It's so thin it almost feels like it doesn't exist. Hey, that's just like our leader's [Ohno's] stage presence!" Ohno acts as if he were really pained and sits on the floor dejectedly. "Yeah, I really don't have much of a stage presence. It's the perfect phone for me."

With the abovementioned version of the TV ad in mind, Aiba tried to 'mend fences' by praising Ohno. "Actually, he [Ohno] is always looking out for the other members. He's the leader, and a vital part of the team."

At the conference Aiba and Ohno also competed in a penalty shootout. They told reporters that they had no experience playing soccer. They went head to head twice and both matches ended with a draw. The two members said "Let's play another game so we can decide who's better!" As the staff scrambled to prepare for another match, Aiba said "Are we running out of time? [To the reporters] Please wait a moment!" As with the filming, they seemed at ease during the press conference! Lastly they commented that they were able to promote the cell-phones in a 'natural way' without getting pushy.

Arashi's Ohno Satoshi (28) and Aiba Masaki (26) held a press conference earlier today to reveal their latest CMs from au. To demonstrate how to use the high speed built-in camera, one person was responsible for kicking a soccer ball towards a goal, while the other was responsible for photographing the shot. The winner will be determined by who gets the ball in the fastest and by who captures the best shot.

In the end it was Aiba who had the best kick, while Ohno had the best photo. Ohno seemed to have a real talent for taking photos and captured the precise moment as Aiba was taking the shot. He then pointed towards the photographers sitting the audience and said "I can be there too. My photography skills are so good that Aiba really shines in the photos." Ohno then suggested changing occupations, but Aiba instantly quipped "You don't need another job!"

Since February of last year, Arashi has been appearing in CMs for au. On the 30th, a new batch of CMs will be released featuring all five members together for the first time. Each will introduce a different camera phone. The backdrop used in the CM produced a very natural atmosphere and captured the close relationship between the members.

Arashi member, Masaki Aiba, presented on the 4 cities simultaneous preview of the drama ‘My Girl/マイガール' in which he starred. “It's a little bit embarrassed to watch on such a big screen. It's a warm story though sad things happened. I'm very happy to challenge new stuff in the 10th anniversary of Arashi.” said by Aiba.

‘My Girl' is based on the same title serial manga in Comic Weekly. Kasama Masamune (Aiba) received the obituary of the girl, Yoko, who disappeared 6 years ago. Meanwhile, Masamnue found that Yoko secretly gave birth to his son and he decided to live with him, Koharu. The drama focuses on the communication between Masamune and Koharu. Aiba was wearing high school uniform in the drama, “Once I put on the uniform, I feel like becoming a taxi driver. I also tried to put on glasses and change my hair style. It's 120 point to me.” said Aiba, “It's kind terrible to be looked at by other members in Arashi. So I had them send it to my house.” said Aiba while smiling.. “The common point with the role I played is being indecisive. We are just the same!” When he was asked about the “ideal woman”, Aiba said: ”Those who come to Arashi's concert!” Cheers burst in the meeting hall, “It's good for a man who can express embarrassing things in a light way.” People around him had a tender feeling.
