KAT-TUN 2 Me

I found a collection of translated concert MCs from Arashi’s Summer 2007 concert here, and since I seem to feel that this blog is not inundated with enough Arashi Love, here are a few of the choicer bits. My comments in purple

Aiba makes an attempt at expressing more queer arashi love in order to distinguish himself. They’re talking about songs they like to sing.

Aiba: ‘Only Love’!

Matsujun: So who are you in love with right now?

Aiba: These four people *points to the rest of the group*

A solid effort, but Ohno (group whore) can outdo that easily

Sho: And then I said, “Captain, lend me some lip cream (like chapstick)” and he said, “Hmm? Oh, I see” and then *puckers lips towards audience* (there is some debate amongst the boys about whether or not Sho wanted to accept his offer to take it directly from his lips)

Nino: Leader…. (jealousy Nino?)

Sho: I honestly didn’t think he’d take that path

Matsujun: But even so, he was kidding, right? After such a long time..

Sho: Well, it would be great if we could pass this off as a gag, but he’s pretty serious about it

A comment by Matsujun in response to that conversation

Jun: After all, within the five of us, it wouldn’t be that weird if two of us ‘came out’

Truer words never spoken, but let’s cut to chase and let Ohmiya, the undisputed masters of queer Arashi love, have the floor

Nino: He kept staring at me that entire set! (referring to Ohno)

Ohno: Well, he always touches me, and he suddenly didn’t do anything today. I kept looking at him and wondering why he hadn’t touched me at all

Matsujun: Why do you sound so disappointed? Shouldn’t it be, “he always touches me and I don’t like it”

Ohno (poutily): but…but…he always touches me. He always touches me!!

Of course, Nino gave Ohno what he wanted, groping his butt for a while and then escorting him off-stage with his arm around his shoulder.

This last one is long, but an excellent example of Ohmiya suspicious behavior.

Sho: Kitael (concert venue) has only 4 shower stalls

Nino: And how many members in Arashi?

Jun: 5! very good jun, you get a cookie

Sho: Therefore, there is always one person who gets left behind (talks about Ohmiya invading his shower stall together to steal his shampoo, but then forgetting the shampoo and leaving without it because they’re too busy chatting)

Nino: But then when we went back there were no wash cloths

Aiba: Oh, there were five of those in my stall

Sho: You should have said something earlier then, like “Oh, there’s 5 in here!”

Aiba: I thought that everyone had brought their own *shakes head fondly* oh Aiba…

Nino: Therefore, we washed each other with our hands. We rinsed each other’s backs…

Ohno: He washed my butt too

Nino: He has a nice butt

Ohno: Nino also has a very nice…

Jun: Stop that! It’s gross.

. Aw Jun. Why’d you have to spoil the fun? They did return to the subject though and make plans to shower together again after that concert. Then there’s this video, most of which comes from that concert series’s MCs as well. The rest is just bonus Ohmiya love. When Ohno’s calling Nino “futoshi” that’s just a character name from the ohmiya sk skit things. Oh, and I didn’t make this video, btw.

So trouncing around stage like that is obvious fan-service, but I ask again, if it’s all an act for the fans, why is so much going on behind the scenes? Even if it is Japan, I can’t believe that straight men who are just friends would lovingly wash each other’s naked bodies, asses included, with their bare hands just so they have a good story to tell the audience later. Also, in reference to the tackling clip, for god’s sake Ohno, stop making sex noises, and Nino, stop panting like that! You can hear that even the fangirl-filled audience is starting to get weirded out!

Rabu rabu,
