[Repost] The Scenery As Seen By Arashi, MORE Oct '09

[barbosa2007.livejournal.com]

Yoshi Rei, who wrote this column, is one of my favorite interviewers. Some of you might recognize her as the author behind Nino's slew of MORE articles.



The photoshoot takes place in a meadow. As you cast your eye in the distance, you can see oleander trees. Everyone strolls towards the trees where the peach-coloured flowers are in full bloom. Nino whispers something into Ohno’s ear, making him chuckle. Matsumoto smiles as he takes in the sight of the two of them. Sakurai walks slightly ahead of the others and Aiba falls in step next to him. The guys walk at a natural pace and at a comfortable distance between each of them. There’s a great atmosphere which encompasses the five members. That same atmosphere is seen in their concerts and variety programs, which makes their audiences and the people who come into contact with them come away with a happy feeling.

( Somehow or other, Arashi just became a way of life... )
