Which among the roles Aiba-chan has done so far left an impression on you?
Sho: "Tsubame no Iru Eki". I really love that play. It was really good. I was really touched by it. It was the character he played, but it was also him coming alive in that play, I was really touched by that Aiba-kun. That was a really good play. I like that the best.

After solving the crisis, any new experience of love between the members?
I can't think of any crisis, but a while ago, after Higashiyama-sempai worked with Aiba, he worked with me. Higashiyama-sempai told me that after he said 'thank you for treating me well' to Aiba, Aiba replied 'Please take care of Sakurai too'. I'm grateful.

Who is the most gourmand (in Arashi)?
Sho: Matsujun knows a lot of restaurants. I always go to the same favorite restaurants... and 70% of those are the same as Aiba-chan's favorites. lol.

Which other members’ life, do you wonder about?
Aiba: Yesterday, I sent a text message to Sho-chan “Call me whenever you have time.” Then he called me within one minute (laugh). I was surprised with the timing and I wonder if he knew I will send him the text. That about him makes me wonder.

What I like about Aiba Masaki: He is very diligent about returning favors
To sum it up in one word, Aiba-kun is my video rental store lol. I'm just joking, but he often lends me DVDs. Plus there is no late fee lol. I have one right now that I've been borrowing for over two weeks. The borrowing began when I lent him a recording of the Himitsu no Arashi-chan haunted house episode. Then the next day he brought me two DVDs, saying they were ones he recommended.
With Aiba-kun, we go to each other's birthday parties too, and when he came to mine he brought me this big bouquet - he's very loyal, right? I've promised to lend him Ryuusei no Kizuna next. If one of us records it, the other doesn't have to miss it.

Aiba: As for me, basically I like Sho-chan just the way he is. TOTALLY.
Sho: Ah, thank you.

The most impressive landscape you've seen overseas?
Sho: I still remember the night view in Italy when we were there about 10 years ago. It was really magnificent! But the only regrettable part was that the guy next to me (Aiba-kun) was sleeping through it all.

"For Sho-chan, the other day, when I said that I wanted to get a head-massage, he reserved a place for me. When I arrived there, I saw Sho-chan had already sat there (laughs). I was so surprised. From now on, if you’re already there, please tell me first."
