Now, dynamics. I adore it when Nino and Sho do their creative interpretation/drugged mating dance during every Hana Yori Dango theme song in concerts (and now during Shake It, to....). Aiba and Nino have this cute best buddies relationship which includes hitting and badmouthing each other, reverting back to their 14-year-old-selfs, when Nino was still taller than all of them... Jun and Aiba sometimes have bits of that childhood friendship thing going on, too, but much more subdued. But they look so pretty together - so they get the eye-candy bonus. And Jun is a closet nerd, so during A no Arashi he was as enthusiastic as Aiba about liquid nitrogen etc. Nino and Jun actually have quite a sweet dynamic underneath all that sadistic brattiness and snark - Nino calling him "J" his pure love. Aiba and Sho click somehow, mysteriously, seeing as they are really opposites with just about everything. Let's forget about Jun and Sho and their awkwardness :P And Ohmiya will forever be Ohmiya (remember when even Ogu-san was weirded out by them basically being attached at the hip/crotch/shoulder during Shukudai-kun days?). Jun totally admires Leader. And Leader lets him. Sho and Ohno have known each other the longest - Sho is the only one to call him "Satoshi". Those two ojisan <3 I can also see the dynamic between Aiba and Ohno - joint drinks or nostalgic bawling fits them and their laid-backness. Throw Nino, Aiba and Sho together and Chaos will ensue. Aiba, Nino and Jun can tell all those stories from their Junior years - they basically grew up together (they were 12/13 years old when they met?), going through Nino's general disinterest in just about everything as a teenager, Aiba being super shy and Jun with hamster cheeks and a constant smile which turned into a period of bad skin, constant scowling and awkwardness sometime around Gokusen.
I basically grew up with Arashi - I am close to their age and thus could relate to them in a way. Observing their group dynamics since 2000 in e.g. the rowing boat episodes, the summer vacation trips, Aiba's board games, the PV making offs etc. made me love them. I never really got into the music or had a favourite member (most people were Jun- or Nino-baited, I know).
Erm, I am sorry for the rant...? Can I throw that question back to you now? Please?
