Here's a really old one... But I like it^^
Matsumoto Jun
I believe that everyone has a "love of destiny" or "heaven-sent lover"
I've
got lots of things in my room I tell you, because I like clothes; so
things like T-shirts, jeans, they're everywhere piling up like hills
(laugh). When I'm at home I usually watch shows on DVDs. Eh? Shows to
be recommended to girls? Well... if you want "sincerely touching" this
kinda feeling, KichiToka workroom's "Sound of Waves" would be suitable,
somehow I feel like my soul is being washed, I like this production a
lot, I think I've watched it over 4 times. When I'm at home, I barely
cook, when I don't have a choice, I'll just have fried rice or just
have a simple dish of greens. If a girl tells me "let me cook for you",
I will answer immediately "then let me help you". Doesn't this feel
better? If she made m favourite Thai-style spicy seafood soup, I will
be very thankful; but it must be Thai-style spicy seafood soup without
additional spices, I can't really stand those spices (laugh).
My
'perfect girl', it's really hard to use words to describe, because it's
different with everyone, every girl has their own attractions, so I
might change my preferences because of a certain girl. However, I care
a lot about the feeling with a certain girl around (her aura), when
we're together we'll both feel great, even me myself am influenced by
her to be positive, I guess it's the kind of girl who can give this
feeling. Or, even the harshest comments, she'll be able to tell me
honestly, I think this kind of girl is indeed close to perfect. In my
opinions when you talk about "fate" or "destiny", there is a kind of
unseen bound among us humans, this definitely exist on anyone, so I
believe that for sure. A love of destiny, or a "heaven-sent lover" ne~

When I meet a girl worth giving respect, I'll feel "ah, she's great indeed"
During
the holidays I was playing my digital game all the time in my room,
when I got the game "Hero against Mighty Dragon" which was released
last year, I used up 2 days - 30 hours altogether to 'finish it off'
(laugh). However, when a girl comes over, it's such a waste to stay in
my room and play my digital games, I guess I'll definitely bring her
out. It's fine with me wherever she want to go, I'm satisfied with just
the two of us together, so I'll try my best to go along with the girl's
wishes.
The type which I like? If you talk about personalities, I
think my 'perfect girl' should have a certain virtue which is worth
respecting. Be it that she's kind or that she's strong-willed, or any
other talents, I will think "this girl is really something" and will
want to be with her for a long time, it's also the same for me
regarding those of my gender. If you talk about appearances, I like
girls who shows simplicity. Everytime I'd be having a sudden feeling,
like when I'm in a densha, I'll always think "ah, this girl is cute",
"that one's not bad too..." However this is definitely not what you
call 'love at first sight' (laugh). About things that might capture my
attention, I guess it's the hands; when I face a girl with wonderful
hands like those which slides smoothly on the piano keyboards, I can't
control myself being attracted. When I confess to the girl I like, I'll
just act cool and say "let's start going out together". But at the same
time that I'm saying this, I will think of scenes shown in the
television which are so rottenly classical, and I myself have acted a
scene like that, then it's really hard to have a feeling of reality,
I'd be thinking myself "wa, it's just like I'm acting in drama" and I'd
burst out laughing. About this, it's really a problem ne~ (laugh)
*Umm... so is this why you're so attracted to Oh-chan? 
Aiba Masaki
The best place to date is the beach, we can go diving together and have an expedition!
If
feels great, doesn't it? (laugh) My room is very empty, because I like
the feeling of having space. If a girl comes over? Hm, if she cooks for
me I'd be really happy, anything will be okay, I'm not picky on food at
all. When it's cold, it'll be nice to have her prepare steamboat
(laugh). However, I'm basically an extravert, if we are to go dating,
I'll most probably choose to exercise together, or watch a game of
baseball or basketball. Ah, going to the beach isn't that bad, I love
the sea! I also have a licence to drive boats! Sometimes I'd really
wanna dive with a submarine into the deep sea to explore, anticipating
"what's that over there?", then open the doors in the submarine and
walk straight in, isn't that meaningful? There are still many things
I'd like to do, because I wanna become an adult with lots of interests,
so when I'm interested I'll never hesistate to take the challenge.
Although
I'm always being asked about my 'perfect girl', I never knew how to
answer this question, because up till now, all the girls whom I thought
"she's not bad", they don't really have anything in common... When I
confess, I think I will choose the simplest words, like "I like you, so
let's start going out". When I'm in the middle of a break up, I might
feel depressed to a certain extend. Although people keep saying that we
should cheer up after a break up and the best way to do that is to talk
to others about it, but I think it's not that easy for me to move on
and start another new relationship just like that. However, I will not
show a depressed expression, so I think that when I'm really going
through a break up, not even the members of Arashi will ever notice
(laugh).

Having the same values, interested in music; this kind of girl suits me
What
will I do during the holidays? Usually I'll be reading book or a
magazine on my bed while listening to the music. Basically the time
when I listen to the music is very long, so it'll be great if the girl
likes music too, we can even go a concert together. But while having a
relationship with a girl, the most important thing is having the same
values, for example what matters most in life, or striving for a reason
to live on, if we're similiar in these areas, I think we'll get along
just fine. So there's a great possibility that I might start a
relationship in the middle of a random chat, but I don't believe in
love at first sight. Recently, I've been playing football with about 20
of my schoolmates around once a month, we usually start at 12 midnight,
the game usually lasts till 3am, I'm not too sure if this is good for
my health, or actually ruining my health (laugh).
I always meet
up with my University schoolmates, although we've only graduated last
Spring, but in this one year I'm always hearing my friends say "how I
wish I can just quit my current job", and there'll be girls crying
suddenly too, what am I gonna do? Hm, what should I say to make them
feel better... I've been a Johnny's junior for about 5 years, then I
became part of Arashi; so I think that no matter what job it is,
there'll surely be a time that things doesn't go our way, that's why
I'll think of it as "this is just a stage of learning, no matter what
others say, to see if it'll go on smoothly, I'll work hard for another
4 years or so".
*He seems to talk the least about his 'perfect girl' ne~
Ohno Satoshi
If
we can both feel "it's interesting" or "how beautiful" at the same
time, the girl and I must have some kind of understanding between us
Now
that I'm staying at my folks' home, so my room is sorta like the place
which I only return to sleep (laugh). If I start staying out alone, I
guess I would be very particular about the interior design. I will not
just move things over just as they are, I will modify the standing
lamp, and I will have my own tables and chairs custom-made, because I
like to do these kind of things. So that is why when I give presents to
the girl I like, I will most probably give her something I made myself.
The same goes to dating, I will think of going to places like little
special stores; at that time if the both of us can feel "hey~ this is
kinda nice" or "how cool is that?!", I will feel very happy, I guess
we'll be fine with each other for quite some time...
The 'perfect
type'? Well when we are together, even if we don't talk, we'll be able
to understand each other, that sorta girl. Even if it's the first
meeting this girl, just by a little chat I'd be able to have a direct
response, that I can have 'resonance' with this girl, it just feels
right. Other than that, when I confess my love, I'd most probably just
say a simple "I like you"; but when I'm going through a break up, just
so I can forget it faster, I will focus fully on my work or my hobby I
think, and because when I'm more hardworking than before, perhaps the
outcome will be superbly great (laugh). I do have friends who already
has a family of his own by the age of 24, but because I'm not too sure
about my situation, so I'm not planning to get married yet. However, I
do have the intention to try, and I'd like to see my own kids, at the
same time as a man, I do not want to give up on what I've decided to
do, instead I'll focus and head straight for my goal.

49. if you like Oguri Shun, hear this : shun got the role as Rui, because Jun told the producers that if they didn’t give shun the role, he wouldn’t act as Doumyoji. In real life, Shun and Jun are good friends all the way from Gokusen days

--Thud--
“Urgh!!”
Something moved from under the pile of clothes which slumped down a second ago.
“…not again!!” the pile of clothes gave way with the flip of a hand, revealing a sleepily impatient face, “nan dayo~”
He got up reluctantly, grabbing his clothes one by one, careful not to create more wrinkles on them, then placed them back on the border right before his bed.
What a morning call, Matsumoto Jun thought, scratching his head through his hair while giving a big yawn, on a holiday, as he walked into the kitchen.
Staring at all the notes suffixed by cute little hand-made clay magnets by his leader on the fridge, he simply stood and yawned again. He wasn’t exactly reading those notes, merely staring. Finally, he decided to open the fridge, after approximately 5 minutes and 32 seconds.
Where’s the milk? He asked himself, squatting down in front of the empty fridge, my my… I was so busy with work that I don’t have the time to check my food stock. Sighing, he stood up and walked off after slamming the fridge shut.
Holiday? He thought, I’ve been longing for this; no work, no one babbling into my ears, a whole day to myself, he sat down at the couch, casually switching on the TV with the remote control, but somehow I don’t really know what I should do…
***
Chill out, he told himself after having a nice decent breakfast in a nearby soba stall, there’s practically nothing left in his house anyway. Walking down the streets of Tokyo with a lose backpack on his shoulders, autumn seemed so familiar yet so far away.
With his red-framed spectacles hanging firmly on the bridge of his nose, he tucked his hands into the pockets of his grey hooded jacket, I’m not a superstar, it’s gonna be me, my self and I today, tada ore hitori. As the birds chirped, he stood in awe looking up to the blue skies; it’s been a while, nature, hisashiburi.
It’s starting to get hot at this time of the year in Japan, not many people would choose to come out if they had the choice. I don’t really have a choice, he thought with a sigh, it’s my only day off… and to think that my throat isn’t doing very well, it’s heaty enough…Atsui! He fanned himself.
Passing by shops and restaurants, something caught his eyes. Hey~ I like that outfit, he went closer to the display window, not bad, they match well… He peeped into the shop and saw many things he liked, I like this shop, he thought.
He backed off a little, and tilted his head up the read the signboard. Second hand clothes shop? They were all pre-owned? He looked into the shop again, wow, second hand clothes are still better…
Actually, he had been staying away from second hand clothes nowadays. How do I explain it? he thought, because wearing something that others have worn before puts me off a little. However, if he sees it once in a while, I get the feeling of rediscovering the goodness of second hand clothes.
It had been so long ago since I visited a second hand clothes shop… But maybe some other time, he walked off, cause I don’t feel like buying anything today.
***
“Ano…” someone called out, he wasn’t sure if she was referring to him, “…sumimasen…” but he turned around anyway.
“Arashi no Matsumoto-san desu ka?” a girl came up to him hesitatingly, obviously a fan. Pink, he noticed, everything on her is pink.
Right before he could reply, “machigai desu ka?” she blushed, “sumimasen deshita! Gomenasai!!!” and started to run off in embarrassment.
“Iya, ore desu,” he called out, trying not to laugh, this is what happens when fan girls meet their idols… he recalled the first time he met his idol when he entered Johnny’s. It was so embarrassing…
“Hontou?” she squealed and walked to him shyly, “eto… can you… umm… can you give me an autograph?” reaching for her notebook and pen from her pink handbag.
“Ii yo,” he smiled. It feels good to be recognised, then a dilemma hit him, but sometimes I just wish I were invisible… I dunno.
“Dozo,” she gave him her notebook, smiling embarrassingly, “arigatou gozaimashita…”
His smile deepened, pink, everything’s pink. He took hold of her pink furry pen and scribbled his signature on her pink notebook.
He nearly fainted; even the ink is pink.
***
Gulping up his mouthful of ginger soup, he looked around as he closed the lid of his tumbler. Ginger, the only thing left in his house, is very needed at this time; hot water and some honey would make it all perfect. He will drink ginger soup only at this time, when his throat is bad.
A warm sensation crawled over him, he felt calm. This may not be super delicious, he thought, but at least it helping me with my throat problem… and it keeps me healthy. There, he sat in the densha, ready to head home.
An Arashi song played through his headphones; a familiar feeling came to him. Somehow, whether it was because of the ginger soup he drank, or was it something else, he felt his cheeks burning, we are Arashi. He couldn’t exactly sing along, it will draw unwanted attention. Besides, his throat… Don’t wanna talk about it.
7.49 pm. I’ve been loitering around all day, he pulled out his butai script he had in his backpack, I’ve only memorised half of it, damn… opening it to the pages he had his bookmark, his Arashi bookmark made by Sho, who can’t exactly draw.
“Kono kimochi iro asenaide…” his leader’s solo voice was distinctly clear. Looking out the window, it has been a wonderful day alone, but I can’t wait to see them tomorrow, I wonder if they feel the same…
--Beep--
Huh? His message alert rang. Checking his mobile phone, he realised that he haven’t touched it for the whole day.

Wow…
Nee-chan
Otanjyoubi omedetou, you cheeky boy!

His eyes blurred with tears as his lips curled into a deep smile. He couldn’t make out how he felt at this moment, but it certainly felt good. They remembered… Not allowing his tears to fall, he stopped himself from blinking. They never fail to amaze me.
