Oh No....Why do you say that Ohno and Nino seemed to smoke? I thought the reverse esp nino!

Are there lots of rumours that they smoke? I didn't know that Even Nino? its so disappointing if its true. I guess I just have higher expectations of Ninomiya.

Arashi appeared on the FNS kayousai recently, oh what awful suits they were wearing. I can't get a good cap of all of them, but looking at this picture..... what were the costume designers thinking?!

Jun without the curly hair, but I think he looks kinda weird with this hairstyle actually. I still like his hair best when Kitto Daijoubu came out. Aiba standing behind, another victim of the bad-hair-Johnnies who seem to be everywhere these days.

Some thoughts on FNS Kayousai, unlike the Best Artist show which had mainly screaming fans as audience, the FNS show had a more serious setting, whereby the guests sat down around tables all dressed up in gowns and such.

The performances, not just Arashi, but many others in the FNS show as well weren't really that fun to watch - no screaming fans to heat up the performance and there weren't any crowd interaction and it was obvious that none of the performers were interacting and flirting with the audience the way they would do with an enthusiastic audience and more casual setting. The crowd certainly plays a very important role in creating and maintaining the atmosphere.

Oh well, I'm looking forward to other live shows this year end, particularly to Music Station Super Live, that would definitely be a marked improvement from the FNS Kayousai.

I decided to post these under the Arashi thread though many artists from JE are in these as well...back when the guys were younger..

Here's one with Yoko, he looks kinda odd here with super short black hair, I think I am too used to Yoko with light colour hair (and eyebrows).

Most of the actors showed up in traditional clothes for the promo of the drama. Nino looks so young and boyish with his neat hair and all white clothes.

Thanks Beansprouts. Among all the JE guys, It seems that Nino has the best complexion. Takki and Yampai prob behind him. Nino should film some skin product commercial imo...

I heard that Yoko treats Nino as a sen-pai and has been following him around on the set. I think Nino was the one who revealed that info..

[beansprouts]

Oh, I think Yoko has better complexion than Nino, it's not obvious from the picture I posted but Yoko has really smooth and fair skin. I've read translations of Nino's jweb as well, Yoko basically treats all folks who debut before Kanjani8 as senpais, even though technically Yoko can be considered their senpai. Despite his talkative self on television, Yoko is seriously quite shy and quiet around strangers, kinda 怕生, which explains why he followed Nino around.

[strawberry]

I think Yoko does have good complexion too just that I don't see him that much.
Frankly, i didnt feel that Pi has as good a complexion during puberty but he has since then gotten pretty good skin too.

[tellywelly]

i think nino's hairstyle here is kinda cute and makes him look like a small boy...haha...quite interesting..considering he already has a baby face..

[strawberry]

My sister said Nino's new haristyle makes him look so young, like...like 17 only!

[beansprouts]

Indeed Nino looks very young, particularly with that school boy haircut. He's one of those people who will forever be convincing playing a high school student.

I wonder how many of you have seen this segment before..its a 2 part special about Nino and Jun Pairing up as TV informercial spokepersons. Jun acts as the housewife role while Nino is the MC pushing the sale on TV. Because of this segment, they became one of my favourite pairings! Must Watch, Must Watch!!

A very short introduction to that segment:

I wish I could find a longer clip..there's more where that came from...towards the end, it seems that Nino is doing all the 'work' of pushing the ride.

Classic Nino
