「カイト」企画 | 第71回NHK紅白歌合戦

It's been decided that Arashi will sing Kite at the 71st Kouhaku. For this purpose, NHK is collecting videos of everyone signing Kite.

Arashi in Shanghai!

Jun, my dear,
Arashi-tachi,

Why can't you guys let me study for my exams in peace?

How can I concentrate when you (all) look so fabulous?

SUITS! I love guys in suits. Especially guys called Arashi.

My dear Jun, even if a thousand persons comment that you:

1. have bad skin
2. look stiff
3. sing poorly
4. look gay,

I will say:

1. I agree
   but I'd rather see bad skin than layers of power
2. I agree
   but that's only when you're thinking hard & focusing on how to make things better
3. I agree
   but like what Nino says, your main profession is being an idol, not a singer/actor
4. I agree
   and you're the only 'gay-ish' guy I've ever liked. I threw Kame away and took you in (wait, did I even take Kame in in the first place?)

Bottomline:

I get hyped up when Jun looks so darn hot or kawaii or kakkoii
but it's not just his exterior that attracts me.
I like him this much because of who he is,
as Matsumoto Jun
and as MatsuJun of Arashi.
Even if he's not perfect in every way,
he is perfect as one member of Arashi,
just as every other member is!

Like a jigsaw, every piece has cave-ins and -outs,
but put them all together, and they'll fit perfectly
to form the most beautiful picture.

ARASHI, GO BLOW THE SHANGHAI PRESS AWAY WITH YOUR CONCERT!!!!

This is really a bad time...for Arsahi to come on cover for soooo many magazines. Why not next month?? I'll be in Japan then. =( I saw the sneak preview of Cut over at Fybabe's. It has been such a long time since I liked a photoshoot this much. I like the hair, the lighting, the shirt. It's not like that anan photoshoot, which I didn't quite like. I hope the rest of the photoshoot will be similar to the sneak pic - leaves space for imagination and not the in-your-face type. I want that mag!!! Hopefully it'll still be on sale when I reach Japan next month!
