how come no one talked about it?
i just finally got time to read a prior magazine article.
i'm read this and ...
there are a million thoughts going through my mind...
four of the members' answers have the same aura...
the same feel to their answers.
there's like a warmth and sweetness to their answers...
but nino's. nino's is SO different.
i know i can never clearly explain it in english...
but if you read it in japanese...
there is definitely a difference. i can't describe..
i can't even properly translate it...but it's so different.
when i hear nino's songs...his lyrics...
it makes me believe that i dont have to worry about nino.
he will always pull through and be alright...
but then when i hear answers like this i think...
maybe he pulls through and he's alright...
bc that's his job, bc i know nino would never put his feelings on his sleeves.
in the myojo may article it talks about crying.
oh chan talks about crying allt he time. he talks about starting to cry when others are crying. when he is touched, when the concert comes to an end...how at the end of the 2005 concert, in yoyogi, he looked over and aiba was about to cry and this made him cry as well. he cries during movies and dramas, and cried during "letters from iwojima." he says how he didn't really cry when he was younger, even when he got hurt. that ohno's mom would say that whenever ohno would cry saying "satoshi is hurt." that that was when she knew for real that he was really hurt.
ba chan talks about being weak when it comes to people that try very hard. how he immediately cries when he sees someone that is trying their hardest for themselves. how he cried reading a manga about baseball called "MAJOR." he also included that he wanted to reread it so he bought the whole set, and bc he wanted to read it quickly when he went abroad he packed 20 volumes into his suitcase. for ba chan it doesnt matter who is there or where he is if he wants to cry he's going to cry. that he cried while watching matsuoka masahiro's butai. how he tried to hold it back bc he thought it would worry yamaguchi tatsuya who was next to him but when the butai was over there were tears falling out.
jun talks about crying when at the movies. how it can be problematic, so if he's holding a tissue or something he'll be wiping away tears all the time. when he went to watch forrest gump w/ his family when he was younger, he was embarassed to cry in front of his family. he was unable to hold in his tears and instead he ran out of the theatre. how he's the type that doesn't really try to make you feel better but instead just watches you. he said only what was necessary but at times like that he doesnt know what he should say...
sho says that 10 of his friends went on a snowboarding trip. late one night they were listening to music, and on one of his friends' ipod the song he wrote when they graduated, started to come on and his friend started to cry. he talks about being happy bc his song meant that much to his friend. another touching event was when he went to a graduation last year and the 3rd year represenative cried while giving flowers to the graduating 4th years. he says as of recent he doesnt cry really and the last time he cried was for "beautiful game." but how when they were singing "kansha kangeki" in chinese during the taiwan con, his eyes swelled but he held it back.
and then nino...
nino starts off with by saying that for him tears mean nothing special. whether it's his own tears or someone elses' if he sees someone else crying he's like "oh they're touched" etc. before when he was young there were times he would cry, and times where he would be touched while reading a manga and cry. but as of now, even if he is really touched, he doesn't cry. the last time he cried was for his drama 'haikei.' since crying for him isn't anything special. that unlike other people, he doesn't feel anything when he cries.
what i wanted to point out ... for ohno, jun, and aiba, you can sense that they will cry easily. for sho you can tell that he won't cry easily, because he never talks about him crying but others, but you can still feel that "warmth" but when you read nino's ... even though sho and him are on the same boat where neither of them cry easily ... nino's is SO different from sho's answer. i always feel so worried ... i wish i could give him the world. sometimes i feel like he's so ... JADED.

oh my gosh, Oh-chan, Aiba-chan and I are all similar when it comes to crying... lol. As with Ohno, I also cried when I watched Letters from Iwo Jima and I also have this tendency to cry when other people are crying and when I'm touched.
And with Aiba-chan... I did cry when I watched an anime once... or maybe twice, I forgot. ^^; and... sometimes I can't stop myself from crying, even when I force myself not to..
...sometimes though, I'd cry out of laughter. And call me weird, but I kinda.. enjoy crying. Whether it's sad or happy. Since I feel that when I cry, my true emotions are let out. [I usually keep my sadness a secret, lol.]
Thanks for sharing this..
.. i always worry about nino. he may be one of the busiest among them right now if not THE busiest and if you think about it that way he doesn't seem to have time to think about anything else but work but then you realize that he does have his alone times too (perhaps in the bus or the plane or something like that) and you know that thoughts run through his head... whatever those thoughts are that led to him saying those words about tears.. it really makes you wonder what exactly goes through his mind. Because its not possible that he doesnt think when he's alone... so when he IS thinking.. I wonder what it is..? I feel worried because he's a really good actor and can hide things easily or deny things without looking too guilty or seeming to worry about it so much.. but.. you know what i mean right?
I love that the guys have all these sides though (in connection with your previous entry) because it makes us all feel better even a little that our worlds aren't totally that far apart...
i'm like sho! i can cry, but it's really hard for me to cry. it's been a very long time since i cried... a couple years?... i think so. nothing special has come up yet for me to cry like crazy.
In general, my friend grow up in single mother family.. BUT she like to tease people who also from single mother family... and very negative about marriage... I am not sure will this be a good example in Nino's case...may be the JE management team want him to look like ' COOL.. not easy to cry idol " ??
i`m like aiba. i`ll cry when i`m reading something or when i see or even hear people crying. i dont know why, i guess it makes me sad to know that something makes other people, people i know dont deserve to be sad, so sad. i have no clue if the sentence made sense, but there it is.
out of all the answers, nothing really surprises me. their answers live up to their image. ohno jun and aiba have always been the soft-hearted. sho "mr. macho" and nino kinda off.
but nino's answer does worry me. its like, he's so shielded and guarded from his emotions. sometimes i just wanna shake him and tell him that its okay to let it all out and depend on others.
it makes me sad that je which brought about arashi and brought so many happiness has done the exact opposite for nino. its harden him.
he's lyrics says it all "his true feeling" the real "NINOMIYA KAZUNARI", JR just want to portray him as "MR COOL GUY", because JE doesn't want to lose a precious possesion. and Nino doen't want that but he has no choice, the way he talks, the ways we see him being genki, the he tries to be cold person, NINo has a soft heart, its just someone is tryin to manipulate him. = (
