150 Arashi trends TV Guide Nov 2013: #11 ~ #25
Here's part 2 of the 150 trends compiled by TV Guide! From Trend #26 onwards, it'll be member-centric so watch out for those.

15 years ago, Arashi debuted with their single, “A.RA.SHI” on 3 November 1999. To celebrate the entry into their 15th anniversary year, we’ve compiled 15 years’ worth of 150 Arashi trends! From nostalgic fads to persisting preferences, we bring to you the people and things that Arashi is obsessed with.
Trend #11: The offer of a stethoscope?
When Aiba-chan starred in the drama “Last Hope”; it seems that Sho-kun, who played a physician in a movie, said, “I’ll lend you my stethoscope.” However, Aiba-chan commented, “The stethoscope did not reach me AT ALL. (laughs)”

Trend #19: Reminiscing about their Junior eras during their tours.
This happened during the “One” tour. “That was the first time I heard Ohno-kun talk about his days in Kyoto. Then Nino joined it, which made the conversation more lively. Everyone added their own stories from the past, and that was the trip which strengthened our bonds even further,” said Sho-kun.
