So since it is getting late I will only be talking about Ohno and Nino today. I could go on all day about how much or why I love Arashi, but because I have to get up at 8 tomorrow I will only be fangirling my ichibans (number 1's) Ohno and Nino, collectively known as Ohmiya.
I love Ohno and Nino the same amount probably because although they are idols with probably millions of adoring fangirls, in private I personally think they don't get what the fuss is all about. They both look like people who don't take themselves too seriously, and are probably self-deprecating, too. And they have raw talent. Oh yes. Ohno is literally (and I am not exaggerating) pure freaking sex when he does his dance solos at their concerts. He has an awesome singing voice. (This is a Johnny we're talking about, people. Hear SMAP sing live once and you'll know what I'm talking about.) He is the second best actor in Arashi. (You'll find out who's the best in a while.) He fishes in his spare time. He's an excellent artist, with an exhibition to his name. And he never runs out of random quips that are just so terribly funny. You think he's just spacing out in the corner, but next thing you know Sho is literally dying with laughter with what Ohno said. Plus, Ohno is Arashi's leader, famously despite (because of?) his lack of leadership skills. I just love that. (That is just genius on their PR. Well done, Johnny.)
Nino, on the other hand, is the smartest member. All of Japan thinks Sho, the Keio boy, the first Johnny to get a college degree (from a Japanese Ivy League university, no less) is the smartest Arashi, right? Nope, it's the Neen, you guys. Plus, he's evil. With him on the team, how Arashi manages to be wholesome top idols is truly beyond my understanding. And of course, a rundown of Nino's top qualities will always include his inclusion in the Clint Eastwood-directed, critically-acclaimed WWII movie "Letters from Iwo Jima". Even if he wasn't in Arashi I would still think he is one of the best Japanese actors I ever watched. I swear, everytime he cries in one of his dramas or in one of his movies, I would be bawling my eyes out. Nobody should ever have that kind of power over me, dammit. When asked why he thought he was chosen by Eastwood, Nino's answer? "Well, I have to say, since I'm in Johnny's... basically it's because I had a nice face." I love how he always fucks around during interviews, it is just pure gold.
And of course, the common denominator why I love Ohmiya... they are just too cute for worrrddsss. I swear. (If you knew me before Arashi I was normal. I would never have described any body as "too cute for worrrddsss.") And they are complete dorks, as everyone in Arashi is.♥
Anyway, almost one o'clock. I leave you now with pictures of the dynamic duo, who have possibly toppled Taylor Hanson off the top of my list of Celebrities I Will Forever Be Hung Up On.
Lastly, I ♥ them because they just loooooooove each other so much, probably the most showy of all the Arashi pairings. Completely an old married couple. (See picture above of Nino pointing out that Ohno's zipper had been open since the start of the show.) Just blatant touching and hugging and kissing and... okay you're getting creeped out. Blame the Japanese and their culture of fan service! Aaaarghhhhhh...
Anyway. Enough fangirling. Need to sleep. Tanabata tomorrow. Gotta think of a wish. Nyt!
P.S. Please if you are Johnny Kitagawa or anyone from Johnny's or J-Storm, Arashi is yours I am not their owner (God I wish I was) so please don't sue me. Oh, and thanks to all the people who uploaded the photos above... so sorry I can't name any of you :-s
