I cracked at your comment on Nino/Sho’s drugged mating dance! Wasn’t that just an otagei imitation?? I’ve always thought that was the case. Actually, other than Yamataro, I don’t really see the dynamic between Sho and Nino as much.

Aiba-Nino: The Sobu line buddies! I love how Aiba catches onto Nino’s mistakes during their variety shows, he can be such a DoS to Nino sometimes (which I love).

Jun-Aiba: I’m rediscovering this pair this year. Aiba mentioned that he went to Jun for life advice during the Sapporo Popcorn tour, and spent time together in NY (when Ohno was out talking to birds).

Jun-Nino: The whole J thing! I bet no one remembers that it was Suzanne who first coined the term, but it was Nino who made it stick! I can really sense their mutual respect for each other when watching the Perfume Share House episode. Under all that teasing about J’s stoicism is sound respect for his professionalism. I can also see them sharing similar interests.

Jun-Sho: There’ll always be a distance between these two to tease the fans! I bet Jun put Sho on a pedestal when he was a Junior.

Ohmiya: It’s scary how this pair can communicate with just one look. Really scary. I don’t blame Ogu-san, I’d be weirded out too.

Jun-Ohno: Skinship! Lots of it.

Yama: Apparently, Sho calls Ohno “Satoshi” because when he addressed him as “Oh-chan”, Ohno said it was too cutesy and gross, so Sho has stuck to Satoshi ever since. This is another pair where I sense the profound mutual respect for each other’s talents and abilities.

Aiba-Ohno: Crying session in a hotel room. ‘nuff said.

Sho-Aiba: I love how Aiba gets the better of Sho even when Sho’s supposedly the smarter guy! Like during the Two-Man HnA tour.

I was initially determined to spread my affection equally amongst all 5 members, until I realized that there wasn’t a Purple member within the subbing team I belong to. So here I am, a firm Jun fan. And having been to a concert, I can only say, music’s just part of the entire experience. The entertainment value, teamwork and desire to interact with the fans made me reevaluate their concerts.

Sorry for my long winded reply! I get overly excited when it comes to breaking Arashi down.
