November Night~

Just a short article this week^^ Jun's November Potato:3

Kind of relaxing to look at ne~^^ Although this time the summer tour was both longer in terms of days and number of performances, it went
on from the start with no real content changes for the most part, even when passing over the whole thing I
think it went rather smoothly. Constitutively as well, I think that the way we didn't set things in stone
from the beginning and the way we made a point of stressing the merits of the live performance was good. On
top of which we were also able to adapt well to it. Everyone celebrated my birthday on stage this year as
well...although I'm very thankful for it I also feel kind of bad about it ne. I mean, the guests paid money
to come see an Arashi concert but they have to celebrate for me. I can't seem to get used to it no matter
how people celebrate for me so it's always a little embarrassing, to be honest I had no idea what reaction
I should give (laughs). But, being able to have it celebrated by the guests and the members made me extremely
happy, I'm grateful.
Since the Dome is the finale of the [Arashi Time] tour it's filled with strong emotions. If I'm standing on
stage it's the same feelings no matter what the performance, but I feel some heaviness when all's said and done.
Although during the middle of the tour there was an announcement about the movie version of [Hana yori Dango]
people had been talking about doing a movie since we'd been doing [Hana yori~2(returns)], that became realized.
We have to make it a piece where at the premiere people can say [I'm glad it became a movie] ne.
When the Dome is over...first will be cleaning up the house (laughs). The other day I kind of started doing
it but it was as if I'd been doing a major clean-up, a lot of trouble. From work documents to videos, clothing
related things...things like that accumulated an incredible amount, first I have to sort out the things I
need and don't need. I'd been thinking that I wanted to clean up since [HanaDan] ended, but [Bambi~no!] came
in and in the end I gathered up all the [HanaDan] documents and kind of deceived myself by putting a lid on it,
that's lead to where I am now (laughs). Since this is the first large-scale cleaning I've done in a long time
I need to do it with some discrimination (laughs). When my room is clean I'll buy the new computer I've been
looking forward to, I want to try making music.
The time I relax is at night, that's when I watch the tv shows I've leisurely recorded, listen to music. For
the most part the shows I watch are mainly dramas, in the middle of the tour when I go to the local areas
I also tape them every week, I made sure to watch [Yamada Tarou~] too (laughs). As for books I read [MushiriAi]
in a collection of short stories by Tsutsui Yasutaka-san. It was biting content-wise, but it was a book where
felt the strength of words. It was the original work behind Noda Hideki-san's play {The Bee], so after I saw
the play I started wanting to read the original as well. Taking advantage of that I think I want to try reading
another df Tsutsui-san's books. Lately I don't go out much for the most part, I stay at home quite often. It's
fine isn't it? Even if there are periods like this...I'm also cleaning my room (laughs). So he was watching YamaTarou;) That seemed like an obvious choice, I wonder what else...^^ I can't imagine having wanted to clean up back in March and not being able to do it until now thoughO_o And I'm worried about not cleaning until xmas breakXD And with the masses of clothing in his room I'm sure it's no easy task either, but if it makes him feel better about staying home all the time~;) I think it's funny how he has tiny sense of needing to justify it, it ends the interview on a really cute note<3 I wish him luck with the cleaning, and I hope he fully enjoys the little bit of time off he gets right now before the busy new year:3
