Because frozen anything sounds tasty, although rainbows give me indigestion so this probably isn't my best idea.
But also because I'm a shipper at heart and delusions can get me anywhere.
Pardon the terrible Japanese. And English. You'd probably notice the bad English first so, you know, take that as your first warning.

Tokyo is pretty warm already.
Sakura have bloomed, it's spring~
I want to see flowers--
How is everyone doing?
I'm energetic!!
This is sudden but, the things you experience for the first time in life leaves an impression right?
Before this, I had an experience like this.
A few days ago,
I went inside Ohno Satoshi-san's home for the first time!!
It's been 14 years since our debut but...
This is the first time!! (laughs)
Finally, there can't be seen any reason not to visit so, it's been given up already...
And then!
And then I went inside~:D
Lately, stuff he drew, I got to see the work he produced and...
Honestly
Amazing!!
Something he likes, to reach that level...
A real artist.
Master!!
To see the important work he produced,
Somehow this makes me happy~
Thank you!
Then, I looked thoroughly around the room (laughs)
After that, the two of us went to eat~
It was a great time~
That person, he truly likes Arashi.
Let's go again okay~
(Unexpectedly that's when Ohno's cellphone receives mail!)...Ne, it's mail from MatsuJun (Matsumoto Jun) but. It says "it's sudden but isn't there anything you want?" (laughs). For my birthday probably? I'll reply with "I want Jun ♥" (laughs).
--Ohno Satoshi, TV Pia 2013.03.02-03.15
Just now from MatsuJun, I haven't bought your birthday present so isn't there anything you want? came in a mail. "I want Jun" is replied, "I'm not talking about things like that" is what he said (laughs). That's why I said I want a bicycle. I'm happily looking forward to it.
--Ohno Satoshi, Potato 2013.04
Q. Lately, the member you talked to on the phone?
A. MatsuJun. A mail that said "I haven't given you a birthday present yet so, is there anything you want?" arrived, in the end it was talked about on the phone. I said an electric bicycle but...there's no reply (laughs).
During yesterday night's new year banquet, Arashi sighting rumors were flying around. Many of our company's staff live in Meguro, it seems like there's repeated sightings of Aiba-chan in a convenient store near Nino's place.
Q. During the cold winder, which member do you want to warm you up?
Ohno: I choose MatsuJun. To say why, he seems like he would extremely kindly wrap you up.
Everyone: (laughs out loud)
Ninomiya: Still that character?
Sakurai: In "Himitsu no Arashi-chan!" (TBS)'s share house, saying he wants to enter MatsuJun's room with him, that character right.
Matsumoto: Is that still going on (laughs). It's always been that kind of tension huh.
Sakurai: You're pushing that character?
Ohno: Yes. It's pushing and...It's my honest feelings.
Matsumoto: What's this (laughs)
Aiba: Ninomiya-san. The reason I choose him?
Ninomiya: You chose without reason right?
Aiba: I have the feeling if I ask him to he would properly warm me up (laughs)
Sakurai: A convenient store!?
Aiba: If I ask he would warm me up. The way I asked him to.
Sakurai: Like a hug, or contact with his hands?
Aiba: Yes yes yes, that's gross! (laughs)
Ninomiya: It's gross from here too.
Matsumoto: Laughing out at what you said yourself (laughs)
Ninomiya→Aiba
Congratulations on your birthday. We've been together for 15 years already. That means I've been with you for more than half our lives. How's that! Aren't you glad? Seriously speaking, for someone with few friends like me, besides my family, there's no one else I've been with for 15 years. That's precious to me. It's important. So...from now on too please take care of me. Congratulations on your birthday.
Matsumoto→Aiba
Since I joined as a Jr., we've spent half our lives together. During our Jr. period you were extremely shy but, now you're brighter than anyone else. Our lives are a lot brighter and more fun because of you. From now on too, let's have a lot of fun times together. Thank you for everything. Also, from now on please take care of me. Really, congratulations.
Ohno→Aiba
Congratulations on your birthday. Welcome to the adult world. I think nothing really changes in particular though. I started really talking to Aiba-chan after we debuted. A lot of things happened. But, nothing changed about Aiba-chan. It's good enough to stay the way you are. Next time, a drink in Ginza!
Sakurai→Aiba
Congratulations on your birthday. The first time I exchanged contact information with you was after Arashi was formed. Which birthday was it was what I thought. More than 10 years, thinking about how long we've been together makes me feel surprised and happy. After your birthday and in the future, please treat me favorably.
(background music: We wanna funk, we need a funk - Matsumoto Jun)
Right now, the tour just started right, this time I'm in charge of the choreography. Not all of it though, I was allowed to do a few songs. As expected, it was tiring. No, really, when it doesn't come it doesn't come. Saying it's difficult, what should I say...it's the feeling of only being able to wait. But, the interesting part is, when the choreography simply doesn't come. And then when it does, as expected, I'm extremely happy.
Then, but, I'm also happy about this. When I was teaching the other members the choreography, MatsuJun's drama shooting just started so he was busy, I didn't teach him the choreography. He said, I can't remember at all, it's no good, I can't remember at all. It gave me a shock, I thought, is my choreography that difficult to memorize? Is it no good? And then, before the actual performance, a day before, during the day we focus on the choreography, like hand positions. That time, MatsuJun joined in the practice. I asked him, how's it? Leader's choreography, if it's memorized, then it's always in the body, it's inside, that's what he said. It won't be forgotten anytime soon. I was so unexpectedly happy because of that! That time, I only answered, is that so, but honestly I was extremely happy. I didn't tell MatsuJun that though. But, things like this, little things like this makes me glad I got to do this.

TL: And then next week's guest is newscaster Murao Nobutaka. Due to that, it seemed like the two of you had a brief interview!
Matsumoto: Yeah, although there isn't anything in particular to hear about...(smiles). Ah, by the way, where in your house do you store your fishing equipment?
Ohno: Those are in the bedroom.
Matsumoto: Eh!? In the bedroom? Wouldn't the room have fish stink?
Ohno: It's completely fine. After finishing using I wash them properly, then I put them in a case.
Matsumoto: No, that has to be because Ohno-san doesn't notice it. It definitely stinks, the living room.
Ohno: That's not how it is!
Matsumoto: Then let me go to check.
Ohno: Go ahead. Please come check.
Matsumoto: And on drawing, how's that recently?
Ohno: I haven't been drawing at all~
Matsumoto: Then, how about telling us an outline for your next work?
Ohno: There's something I'm in the process of drawing right now.
Matsumoto: What kind of drawing is that?
Ohno: A drawing of children. Cause it isn't complete yet, I'll continue drawing it next year.
Matsumoto: You won't be drawing anymore this year?
Ohno: Yes.
Matsumoto: Wanting to finish it this year, you don't have this kind of feeling?
Ohno: I do but, I'm still slightly busy with various things.
Matsumoto: But, there's still time to go fishing right?
Ohno: ...No, that's why, this year fishing has been hanging over me.
Matsumoto: Having fishing hang over you, you're not a fishing professional (laughs)!
Ohno: I'm focused on fishing!
Matsumoto: Is that so. Then, this winter too please work hard to take care of your body.
Ohno: Ah, thank you (smiles).
Yesterday's FNS Kayousai, Arashi's recorded performance is because Aiba's schedule couldn't fit it in. Originally it was decided that Arashi will perform as 4, Ohno said "an Arashi without Aiba isn't Arashi, so please let us appear in a recording".
--The performance, the construction, if there's anything you can say during this period, please!
Sakurai: Yes...For me, this is the first time I saw a scene like that. I had my solo meeting. When it was over, I returned to that rehearse room. Then, MatsuJun, the choreographer and Ohno Satoshi, the three of them were discussing with a blueprint and pens! MatsuJun and the choreographer('s combination) meeting, normally, you see this a lot right? The feeling of "Thanks for the work!" right? But, that Ohno Satoshi...he's in the discussion! Not even eating curry!
(Everyone: laughs loudly)
Sakurai: That was surprising.
Ninomiya: That was, certainly. He and I always went home very fast. When Leader said "Thanks for the work!", that...was a chagrined expression (laughs). But, for the meetings he was quite eager to speak out his opinions right? "If this is like that, I think it wouldn't reach out," I heard him say things like this. I think he was able to express his opinions. Basically, as expected this is the first time seeing this appearance.
Matsumoto: (While listening to everyone's conversation, he was grinning the whole time).
Ohno: ...This person is truly amazing (points to Matsumoto).
Matsumoto: No no, I think Ohno-san is amazing. I say things, but the ones actually implementing things isn't me, as expected. "Wouldn't this kind of style be good," after saying this, the job of implementing it, Leader's the one who did it. The ones who form the actual shape? That's basically the choreographers or the performance stage managers, the staffs are the ones who do it. This time doing it with a member is somehow...it's fresh, I'm happy.
Sakurai: That's what I said. Out of the five members, one person (Matsumoto) is seen standing in a producer-like position, after listening to a song saying "at this timing this will move, I want this amount of dance moves here." Then, another person among the members (Ohno) immediately answers with things like "would hand movements be good?"...The moment I saw this scene...It's like, cool!! Good work!!
(Everyone: laughs loudly)
Sakurai: That was an amazing scene. Honestly...ten or more years? I can't even count anymore though (laughs), in ten or so years, this is my first time seeing it. Somehow...(the person looking at the whole picture, the person giving it shape) both are among the members, that's amazing. Like, "I want dance moves here," "then, Jr.'s choreography would be that too?"...Cool! Good work!! (laughs)
Ninomiya: Satisfied! That kind of feeling right. Going back home feeling good! (laughs)
Matsumoto: Then drinking some nice beer! (laughs)
(Everyone: laughs loudly)
Aiba: Truthfully, even beside the rehearse room, I saw Leader and MatsuJun saying things like that. Outside times for that (meetings) they still do it. As expected that's amazing. I think it's amazing. Things like "about the movements there..." were said through the telephone.
Ohno: That's right. There's also mail. Like, "for this song, should we use the hand kind (microphone)? Or should we use the headset?"
Ninomiya: Amazing. Ohno-san's truthfully changed. That time too...when we were discussing the costumes I think? That day, Sho-chan couldn't come because of another job. After sitting down, "eh, where's Sho-kun? Did he come yet?" That's the first thing he said. "Somehow he's not coming today," "ah, that so,"...Somehow, the surroundings? An Ohno Satoshi that could see them? That's what it's like.
(Everyone: laughs loudly)
Sakurai: Hahahaha! That sort of thing, it hasn't happened before?
Ninomiya: Before this it hasn't. Before this, it's like the feeling of "Sho-kun will come later right," then he eats curry (laughs). As I thought...he's changed. He's the Leader, really.
Matsumoto: From this point, he would eventually progress. Choreography's been done...then probably, wouldn't he do the stage planning too?
Ohno: (glares at Matsumoto)...Saying things like that. Planning something again.
Matsumoto: Hahaha! That's entirely not what I was doing though.
Ohno: It's strategizing. Honestly...(one person playing two parts) Ohno: "here, dance moves, are there any?" Matsumoto: "there is," Ohno: "ah, so there is," that's what I was thinking, and then after it's like Matsumoto: "eh, not having any is good right?"
Matsumoto: In the end, there are times when I think not having any is good too. Actually. But, it's because I don't know what's there.
Ohno: (again, one person playing two parts) It's like, Ohno: "there's a half beat here?" Matsumoto: "no, I don't know what it's like. For now put a full beat (of choreography) there," Ohno: "ah, that so? full beat? full huh...(looks far ahead)."
(Everyone: laughs loudly)
Matsumoto: No, but...if alone, this person would eventually start simplifying things? (laughs)
Ninomiya: There's still some huh, passive elements remaining. Things like "it's alright if the choreography for the choruses are the same right?" But, of course, there are aggressive parts existing.
Matsumoto: As expected, that's difficult to handle (laughs).
