*What each member of Arashi thinks about Oh-chan*
taken from H February issue

Well, finally this month is about Oh-chan!

1 What's your favourite work among Ohno's past works?
Ninomiya: 'Speed Star' The ending was shocking.
Aiba: 'Sengokupuu' He performed very sharp sword fight, and I also liked the content. I've been fond of action stuff myself since small.
Sakurai: 'PLAYZONE "New Century ~ EMOTION"' Although almost no lines from his part at the beginning, his acting gave me a clear picture of the changes of his emotions.
Matsumoto: 'Sengokupuu' I liked the way of his movement or expression.

2 What do you think is Ohno's most selling point as an actor?
Ninomiya: His being talented.
Aiba: His presence...? He's got two completely different types of auras. I can't find Captain with the same aura when he's acting a play on a stage as doing variety shows or in private.
Sakurai: He appeals to people with his sense and emotion.
Matsumoto: He has quick reflexes. He knows his body very well.

3 If you were a producer, what kind of role in what kind of work would you want him to play?
Ninomiya: I think he'd better play a role of a woman.
Aiba: Perhaps a handsome man. Like in a hard-boiled style. I believe he'd become very attractive.
Sakurai: A man who is very popular with women, what is called an 'attractive' man.
Matsumoto: A role of an animal. Lion King!? (laugh)

4 Ohno's attractive point and weak point.
Ninomiya: He's good at everything. He hardly keeps his words.
Aiba: He still lets his mother buy his clothes!! at the age of 26... I think it's charming. He's cute, isn't he.
Sakurai: He's so unaffected I nearly worry about him. He sometimes gets depressed since he's so strict to himself.
Matsumoto: (a)(w) He's slack in both ways.

5 What Ohno has but you don't, and what do you envy him at?
Ninomiya: Popularity.
Aiba: I think his word in a desperate situation is genius. He makes even ordinary things funny when he speaks with his own timing.
Sakurai: He certainly does things in the right brain. The other day when we did the training 'Become animals', he was tremendous.
Matsumoto: As he understands very well about his physical size and strong point, he knows how to act in order to make himself look better. He's capable of doing almost everything, which I think is wonderful.

6 What do you want Ohno to improve?
Ninomiya: I want him to keep his words within a certain period.
Aiba: His hobby is clay work, he's really good at it, which is nothing more to be desired!! He could earn money out if it!! But he says his hands get dirty when he starts painting on it..., the paints don't come off his hands... I doubt if it's alright to go on TV shows with those dirty hands...
Sakurai: It's rather an anxiety than a request, I worry about him who might be losing all his energy to spare for the job because of being so much into his hobby in future. During the shoot 'Kiiroi Namida', he brought his clays over to Nagoya and was working on it till late at night. Though we had very few time to sleep.
Matsumoto: He sometimes stands stiff staring into space. I get worry...

7 What has he changed most since made debut?
Ninomiya: The attitude towards the job.
Aiba: He's the oldest among us. But I feel he's getting younger and younger in his looks as he grows older.
Sakurai: He hasn't changed anything at all.
Matsumoto: He became positive a bit! (laugh)

8 If you express Ohno in colour, what colour would he be? and why?
Ninomiya: Various.
Aiba: Moss green, perhaps. How is it? Yeah, moss green!!
Sakurai: Black. Not assertive, but has a strength.
Matsumoto: Blue, with the image of water flowing.

Thank you for putting Ohno's one!!!

I was laughing soo hard when I read his mom still buy his clothes, even though he's at the age 26!!

But i agree with aiba, it's cute and charming!!

LOL. Exactly like the Ohno I imagined, haha. Standing off staring into space and never keep his words. XD But wow, he worked til late at night for his clay? o_o *hugs Ohno* Ne, he may be lazy sometimes *coughbuyyourowndamnclothes* but when he wants to, he can put his all into...*feels love for Ohno increase ten thousand folds* I just adore this guy more and more. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing! Reading this just reminds me how dedicated Ohno is with his passions, and that includes both his art and Arashi. He's so wonderful. Take care of yourself, Riida!

I'd also love to see him play the role of a beautiful woman, or a lady killer. He'd be hot either way.

LMAO jun and nino "the role of a woman/animal" they're hilarious!!! i've already seen ohno as a girl... but not really as an animal. but from what sho said...he's quite good at it.
he's into art more than ever now, ne? oh well. as long as i still get to see him being a spacecase, then it's all good!
thanks so much for posting! i've been waiting for this!!!

YAY!!!!

Ohno, you're such a hard-working slacker. (but that doesn't make sense...well staring off into space doesn't either...)

I totally KNEW Ninomiya would choose Ohno to play a girl...sometimes I wonder about those 2 and the things they imply/say.

LOL! Nino wants Ohno to play a woman & Jun wants him to be an animal. Those two can be so mean, but it's funny.
Although Ohno's mom still buys his clothes, I do have to admit that she has a good sense in style. Or Ohno's onee-chan might be helping.

Pliz rest dear Oh chan...although I know u love art so much..........I'm so worried about u

Yeah.....My Oh chan is a talented guy ne......Rida is da best

Thx so much for the translation.......I've been waiting for this

Now all I can think about is ohno in a lion costume! XD
Ohno is so dedicated to his artworks I hope he finds time to rest though. It's sweet how all the others worry about him

Thank u so much 4 the translation

He really knows how to make people around him worrying about him ne~
Actually I tried to answer the questions without seeing their answers first...
and my answers are all similar to Sakurai-san!

Nino wants Ohno to play the role of a woman. ^^;;; BUt why am I not surprised?

Thanks for the translation. I bought the issue, but since I can't read Japanese, I could only imagine what the interview was about.

I love the way the others care for him so much!

LOLZ those two...it certainly shows thats how close they are

I was so touched when Sho was saying he worrys about Ohno working too hard on the job. I hope Ohno doesnt overwork himself...

thanks for the trans~! [/quote]

They had great things to say about him. I love what Sho said about him, it really shows about his feelings towards Ohno.
