FINALLY.

Enjoy the last installation of Round Table Arashi, presented by DUET magazine.

If anyone out there has an interview or magazine scans which they'd like me to translate, just send me a PM. I'm currently working on a Nino interview in Pia (which will probably take ages since the Kanji is killing me) but I'm looking for other interesting, lighthearted articles as well.

DUET December 2009 - Round table Arashi
[info]barbosa2007
The people at DUET magazine sit down with all the members of Arashi for a round-table interview.




After we had finished with the day’s photo shoot, we requested that the members of Arashi gather for a round-table discussion to commemorate their 10th year anniversary. (The interview was held in the middle of October.) Around the square table [where we held our interview], sat the members in a clockwise manner – Ohno, Sakurai, Aiba, Matsumoto, Ninomiya. Arashi was gracing the cover of DUET magazine for the 23rd time. Since we were looking at origins, the photo shoot had a similar composition to their first debut photo shoot.

In the meantime, enjoy the last bit!

It's important to me that my characters portray a sense of realism. )

A comparison of my favorite faces
[info]barbosa2007

Nino mentioned previously in an interview that his favorite actress was Takeuchi Yuko. Since I love her work as well I noticed that there are some rather interesting similarities between her and Nino.



1. Both of them have a mole on their chins.
2. Both of them have killer smiles.
3. Both of them have similar face shapes.

Well the above ramblings may be the result of the deluded imagination of a fangirl, but that's what I think! (Anyway Nino's mole on his chin seems to have been photoshopped out in the middle photo so I included a third one.)
