Make a declaration to fans that “This year, ‘this’ will absolutely be done!”
Our Miracle Man needs some time to think about this, but I LOVE his declaration!!!!!
A: This year... (these) five people will go on a trip (together)!
S: Will there be time for it?
They discuss that an overnight trip is a good idea...
And N reminds that this is something absolute that they can’t go back on.
And they agree that taking a picture to upload somewhere can be proof they kept their word.
Yes indeed Masaki. It is indeed a wonderful suggestion!
Until J decides to level it up further by bringing in (the unlikelihood of) OVERSEAS trip.
And S teases that this is coming from the one who most wanted to go travelling.
Hawaii~~
Masaki~~ Make it happen (even if there is no way I can dream of even making such a trip)
A declares:
Best-case scenario: Hawaii!
Worst-case scenario: overnight trip!
S: ... to someone’s home! (I suspect I know whose home you’re thinking of Sho *cough*grassfedbeef*cough**cough*)
A: An overnight trip has been decided!
└ あげましっておめでとうございます~ And I pray for continued good health of Arashi and Arashians.
Make the trip happen Miracle Man~~

└ “苦労の先にしか悦びは見つけられない”: Wise words, oh wise one. Despite the rude awakening, the morning breakfast in the mountains must have been delightful.
I hope you don’t regret your words.
Sho: “Pleasure can only be found in going through difficult times.”
Jun: “(Maybe you can try) Trialthlon from morning?”

Aiba’s Opening Talk (VS Arashi 15.03.2018)
└ Today’s topic: A recent situation when you found yourself in a pickle.
Aiba gets the ball rolling~
A: Hai~ It was an on-location shoot and it was really COLD. The location bus is usually used for changing clothes right?
A: I hurriedly ran to the bus to get out of the cold, thinking I wanted to change quickly.
A: The moment I removed my short (outer) pants, I also removed my underpants.
There is no mistaking that Sho is bent over, completely wrecked with laughter.
A: But the upper part was still there ok? So it’s not like you could see everything.
N: No no. It can be seen, it can be seen.
A: The stylist didn’t see though, so it was a lucky thing and I slowly brought [my underpants] back up.
A: But for an instant… it was an “Oops! I’d gone and done it” moment!
M: That’s not being in a pickle; that’s a total ‘out’ you know!
A: (trying not to die from embarrassment).
You’re too precious for this world Masaki~ (^_^)
