Coming soon~
It's almost Xmas!:D And, because I just had to do an article, the shortest one I could find, Jun's December Duet=)
Credit to Mori for the scans:D

Aiba-chan = Is a person who has a heart that's pure to the point of crying at concerts, and as a consequence
is so splendidly naive that it can be troublesome from time to time. Nino = He's the one among the members
with the most child-like points, but there's also the side of him that calls people vulgar names. Sho-kun =
In charge of rap. Lately he's also being a kind of newscaster, Arashi's mediator. Riidaa = He draws pictures,
sculpts clay, his artistic sense stands out above the rest. He doesn't normally move much (laughs).
Recent Status
Lately, since the concerts are over I've been meeting up with people ne. Making an appearance at the birthday
party of an aquaintance, meeting a friend I've known since junior high, going to see the band of someone I know.
It's been a long time since I've been able to make time like this. Although it really had been ages since the
last time I saw the friend from junior high we both had things that had changed and not changed, it was
interesting. It was a stimulating, in a good sense. Then we all went to karaoke together and sang songs we often
sang when we were in high school, like Mr. Children and Spitz. In a matter of an instant I returned to how
it felt back then ne. Lately I've been thinking that I've stopped listening to and memorizing music for the
sake of karaoke (laughs). When I'm at home I'm purely doing movie appreciation ne. Lately I watch a lot of
Kurosawa movies.

Ah~, I lvoe this smile<3 And his analyses of the other members showed some real, thought-provoking depth:3 Nino's was a little surprising actually, although I can picture him yelling at everyoneXD My favorite was Aiba's though, you can tell he admires that about him^^ And Sho is the group's mediator? Interesting, I would have guessed Ohno. And ohno doesn't move much...yes, that's a recurrent theme it seemsXD But seriously, he won't give his height?XP He's definitely not 143cm like Chinen-kun;) Hehe, I loved how he said he gets carried away with his ideas, that's something I do all the time...unfortunately I tend to get annoyed or flustered when people can't follow along, I bet it's the same for Jun^^; But I can't wait to see him riding a horse! That would be quite something ne~:3
Well, I won't make it so long before my next post=) Again, sorry to be so out of touch^^; I saw the FNS performance, it was so cute<3 I agree that the choice of wardrobe was much better than last year's they looked great and still had their dignity (a shocking concept for Johnny's, I know;P). Hope you're all doing well and continuing smoothly along the paths you've chosen:) Stay well, and see you soon~^^

I read this previously at your lj ^^ but somehow I didn't see this scan before (maybe it didnt load while I read your translations hehe) and it's a very lovely surprise. I suppose it can be called a surprise? It's just that his smile was so happy and his pose relaxed. His eyes are smiling <333
I loved his analysis of Aibachan and Nino. Very touching for Aibachan's..if I was Aibachan I'd be very touched.
Take care and Merry Christmas! Happy holidays~
