A new video has been uploaded. It's only a clip (trying to be conservative for a bit) but it's got a lot of Arashi love packed into it.

I've also gotten requests to sub videos related to Nino's special TV drama, "Door to Door". I'll try to have some of them up soon. Check back for updates.

As for now, here's a translated article (translations by me) of what Nino thought about his role. The original article can be found here, for those who can understand Japanese.


Q.) Wasn't it difficult playing the role of someone afflicted with cerebral palsy?
Nino ("N" hereafter): "You say it's 'difficult' to play that role, but I consider cerebral palsy as just another personality trait."


Q.) (When compared to his past TV drama, "Marathon") Are the roles similar?"
N.) "I try to take into consideration the physical aspects and actions of these individuals, but that does not affect the character I portray."


When it comes to reading the script...
N.) "I don't read the whole script. I get yelled at for not reading all of it. But think about it. For example, there are things that my mother says that I don't hear because I'm not there. But in drama scripts, even those are written. It's just information I don't need and shouldn't know. Besides, say there's a character in the drama that ends up dying. I can react in such a more natural and realistic way if I don't read the script beforehand because it's actually shocking."

How interesting! And if you think about it, that's a great approach. Impressive Nino! :)

Psst! You can't see this on YT! (Well, this compilation, anyway.)


The Aibaka Compilations, #1








My favorite scenes? Here they are:


1. When Matsujun helps Aiba-chan put on the Santa hat. How cute!
2. The face Aiba-chan makes when everyone's complaining that he's the rural kid. LOL!
3. When Aiba crouches down on the floor at the end of this video. Kawaii :)


Aiba-chan mania!

To all Arashi fans...

Greetings.

To get things started, I want you all to know that I am just another Arashi fan. :) I sub Arashi videos so that native and non-native speakers alike can come to love Arashi even more. I've started my quest for this on YouTube, but alas, they're incredibly anal about copyright infringement. So I started this blog simultaneously so that if my account is suspended (like all the other wonderful Arashi fans), my friends will be able to follow me along so that you all know what I'm up to. This is where I'll bring you news about what my (new) YT account name is (so you all can subscribe again! :) Yay!) and perhaps upload my other videos. I'm trying my best to keep bringing you all subbed Arashi videos!

For now, please check out my YT if you haven't already. It's still surviving.

Thank you all for your support! Help me keep going! Your encouragement is vital!

Arashi fever,
amnosxmatsujun, aka Emkay
