drunken johnny's.
there is such a thing called a kaishoku in japan. a kaishoku is when a group of people meet to eat dinner, usually the group of people being people that work together. for example there would be a kaishoku maybe after a concert with all the staff and arashi. usually these kaishoku's are planned after something big is finished or for some special reason. it doesn't happen every week. basically people eat and drink and eat and drink. you can almost call it a nomikai but it's not purely drinking it's eating and drinking. x: in any case ... this is stories about kaishoku's of johnny's & arashi from various TV shows, magazines, josei jishin, and staff blogs.

Ohno Satoshi
-When the staff welcome him, since it's been a long time, Ohno's face is already red even before he's started drinking.
-Do to his love of alcohol, in no time he is drinking happily.
-When he drinks his laughter becomes even more distinct. At that point he doesn't really care about the senpai, kouhai status.
-Suddenly he starts calling each staff by their name.
Sakurai Sho
-He only eats the meat he grilled. If the staff said "Sakurai san we'll do it," he lightly, but quickly, declines.
-He yells "kanpai" really loudly.
-His expression is very cold towards the female staff. Amongst the female staff Sho is famous for being someone that is hard to approach.
Aiba Masaki
-When he drinks his tension immediately goes down. He doesn't talk and instead just nods his head up and down, and before you know he says he's tired and is the first one to get up.
-During the kaishoku for Shukudaikun when Innochi was the guest, Aiba was at his highest point and along with Innochi the two sang "Linda Linda Linda"
-He cuts himself off from his manager, meaning he leaves his phone off when drinking.
Ninomiya Kazunari
-Possesses a specialty of convincing the staff that he doesn't need to drink despite how many times they egg him on. In the end he's able to enjoy kaishokus even without drinking, but instead does a lot of talking.
-He is very proud of being a Johnny's, and at many kaishokus will tell the staff funny stories abotu Johnny.
-Nino becomes close with the staff the quickest.
-Almost seems like the leader when he begins worrying about Aiba when he over drinks.
Matsumoto Jun
-Loves kaishokus. If Jun is at a kaishoku, everyone will make room to go. Those that have family and children will call and say "You see today Matsumoto san will be there and..." Jun takes action to make a kaishoku ultimate, sometimes lasting until 5am.
-He loves wine, and will start naming off different brands.
-Is very health conscious and if there is a dish that is healthy he will eat it all and sometimes will even ask about how to make it or what goes in it.
-His phone calls are long, to the point people will start looking at him sending him signs to get off the phone.
Nakai Masahiro
-At first he'll say he's not going to go but when the female staff whine a little and ask "Please go!~" he falls for it and ends up going like he has no other choice. This happens every single time.
-He always pays. Explains that he can't live with debts and always pulls out his wallet first.
-Rather than drinking he tends to smoke more. If the staff say "If you drink you're liver will hurt but if you smoke your lungs will hurt," and Nakai responds with "SHUT UP!" But when there are female staff he'll actually smoke inside the bathroom.
Kimura Takuya
-If possible he'll try to avoid kaishokus seeing he has a family and all, but he who like to have fun with the staff will enjoy it to the max when he does go.
-Even when he drinks, he doesn't get drunk. No one has really seen Kimura really drunk.
-The next day he even brings medicine for some of the staff that still have hang overs.
Inagaki Goro
-He talks, with no end. If Nakai asks him if he's an old lady, Goro who is drunk will explain he is in the middle of talking. When he is with his kouhais he is not like this only with SMAP members.
-His stance when drinking is exactly the way he sits when he does shows.
Katori Shingo
-The instant he drinks he's gone.
-He's the first to get up.
-He's constantly saying that he's too tired to get up and ends up making his manager go through a lot of trouble.
Sakamoto Masayuki
-Constantly telling the other V6 members to either stop drinking or to not drink at all.
-When he starts drinking he speaks with a lot of puns. The staff sometimes do not catch them all therefore Sakamoto will give signs and say "laugh."
-V6 has a very specific way they sit when at kaishokus. It is always... Sakamoto, Innochi, Ken on one end and Okada, Go, Nagano on the other end. Always.
Nagano Hiroshi
-Due to Nagano liking to find tasty restaurants, where to go for a kaishoku is always decided upon by him.
-He always talking about wanting to go to an onsen. He'll start to name the good points about an onsen. It's gotten to the point where now Innochi is doing this too.
Inohara Yoshihiko
-This person was born for kaishokus. His tension goes up to the point where people worry that the company may get phone calls. The more Johnny's present the higher his tension goes up.
-He begins to call all the Johnny's phone numbers he has. He will brag about being close with Nakai. Typically when Innochi calls they come out but there is someone that NEVER comes out and that is Koichi. In the end Innochi becomes like a butt hurt child.
-He'll start singing a song that isn't really a song, but in no time the staff is singing that same nonsense song. At times like this V6 medleys begin as well.
Miyake Ken
-As of recently he's been bragging about his toned body.
-He's very opinionated about the side dishes.
-He takes care of the more drunk staff memers.
Okada Junichi
-Surprisingly he talks easily with the staff and enjoys kaishokus.
-There are many times where he doesn't say anything and just disappears.
-When it's slowly time to pay the bill, for some reason like an invisible man he's no where to be seen.
Domyoto Koichi
-He never shows up to kaishoku's, he's been to maybe 2/100.
-Because his tolerance is very high they called him the 2nd Kimura Takuya.
-Sometimes he orders coke instead of alochol, and ALWAYS asks for a glass of ice.
-Takes care of Tsuyoshi who doesn't have a high tolerance.
Domyoto Tsuyoshi
-He's very sweet to the female staff. Even if they are talking about something very boring he listens till the very end.
-It's all over once he starts drinking. He begins pouring drinks to the wrong people with the wrong glasses.
-When there is someone tall and built he constantly asks for a piggy back ride. Matsuoka and Nagasae are constantly doing this. But then when Innochi asks for one too, Matsuoka and Nagase hella get pissed off at Innochi.
Joshima Shigeru
-He likes to drink alone. If people ask if he's alright drinking alone in the corner, that it seems lonely, the members tell them to leave him alone because he's always like that.
-When a staff starts to sing he claps at the right beat and seems like an old man
Yamaguchi Tatsuya
-He's very good at kaishokus and eats well drinks well laughs well and is more like a friend than a Johnnys.
-The Johnny's stories he tells are always funny.
-He fights with Kokubun, although they make up instantly which makes it seem like it's preplanned.
Kokubun Taichi
-When he drinks everything he says gets longer, and he repeats the same things.
-One time Nagase was piggy backing Kokubun and Matsuoka was piggy backing Tsuyoshi. Tsuyoshi and Kokubun were having the time of their life being imaginary super heroes. But Matsuoka and Nagase's expression didn't look as enjoyable.
-Another time he said he knew Kimura's phone number and started to call it and handed it to one of the staff. It ended up being his sister who was very apologetic on behalf of her brother.
Matsuoka Masahiro
-He has the strongest tolerance within Tokio. It seems he holds out because of his pride.
-It's Matsuoka who always tries to holds things back between Kokubun and Yamaguchi when they start fighting. He is also the one that tries to pry Joshima from the corner.
-He starts to sing Kondo Masahiko songs.
Nagase Tomoya
-He like to brag that he is close with Koichi. He's always telling funny and humiliating stories about Koichi.
-When his senpais are present he's a lot more nervous, and becomes much quieter and reserved.
-If the female staff compliment Nagase on his voice and ask him to sing something, he'll immediately start singing.

i think arashi only likes to drinks with themselves..without so many people:x
surprisingly okada have the same personality as our kecchi boy;p
thank you for your information!
firstly, must thank you for translating & sharing this. My favourite Ohchan, can imagine his face goes red without drinking. Very surprise to know Shingo is not a kind of person who enjoy party. Sho's not approachable, heard this at Mago talk before but I believe sho didn't mean to, it's just he didn't know how to moriage with female. So happy to know that Kimura has highest tolerance. Koichi is yasashhii na, even looks after Tsuyoshi. Nakai is so polite, doesn't smoke when female around?
it's so good to hear these ura stories, I enjoy reading this so much, must read it repeatly. arigatou ne
lol. seems that definitely go ranking out of five, four of them are tokio members xD
all of stories are really interesting.
thanks for sharing this ne, really intresting XD
Somehow its kind of cute that Sho finds it hard to approach the female staff or is cold towards the female staff...
I know I sound crazy.
TOKIO is love. No wonder Arashi love them so much.
I can`t picture Okada in any kaishoku. and oh, the perfect Mr. Kimura!
haha. thanks for including the Smap ones. Love em.
Thanks for sharing.
hav read bits & pieces here & there so..thanks for compiling them!!
