There was a special Arashi interview this morning on Tokudane to PR "The Last Promise" SP drama. They had Q&A with each members response & discussion. Quite interesting & funny Q&A topics! Sooo funny they all had to imitate Kuniyoshi Tanaka and when Ohno tries switch & do MC^^
Q1. Who can best imitate Kuniyoshi Tanaka? No. 1 智 No. 3 宮 Others all low ranking: 翔 潤雅
Q2. Who has the most gap ? No. 1 翔 No. 2 潤 No. 3 宮 No. 4 雅 No. 5 智
(Sho is No. 1 as he does the news & on the other had wears stocking on his head^^ )
Q3. Who is the most erotic ? No. 1 潤No. 2 雅 No. 3 宮 No. 4 翔 No. 5 智
(Ohno is No. 5 as he asked the question "What is erotic?^^ )

(Aiba & Nino is No. 1 as they went to Ogura-san's restaurant. Aiba did once after golf. All of them turned up to an end of year party with Ogura-san except Ohno coz he had to celebrate with his family so they picked on him and he ended up as No. 5..Ohno wanted to be No. 4 so Nino asked what do you like about Ogura-san, then Ohno said Ogura-san was kind, easy to talk and gives him many presents. Nino remarks "So that is what you look for"^^. At the end Ohno had to give a closing comment about the SP drama so he said "please watch the drama & enjoy the show with Ogura-san and he expects many presents from him, so please look forward to this!"^^)

Today we present ~ Arashi Discovery [2009.12.24] translations ~!!!
ARASHI DISCOVERY 2009/12/24
(BGM:♪Crazy Moon~キミ・ハ・ムテキ~)
Good morning! Ohno Satoshi’s ARASHI DISCOVERY~! Today’s question is about glasses.
Lately there are a lot of glasses with stylish shape or colors. Then, colored glasses to protect the eyes from sun ray, what is it called? Please choose from these next three:
1 サングラス (san gurasu = sunglass)
2 ワイングラス (wain gurasu = wine glass)
3 カラス (karasu = crow/ raven)
(BGM:♪WISH)
The answer is number 1 [sunglass].
From a joint investigation by Kanagawa Medical College and the pharmacy, it is understood that in ski slope etc, in snow-covered mountain, the amount of ultraviolet rays has climbed up 2.5 times of that on a beach in summer. According to the people in charge of the investigation, with sunglasses, there’s a big gap between it and the face, so there’s fear that there is not enough effectiveness to guard the eyes from ultraviolet rays. That’s why goggles that cover the eyes completely are used. Haa~ Goggles. I see. That’s right, it’s better that we be careful about the ultraviolet rays, everyone. Because you’ll be scolded. Nee. Iyaa, I also go fishing But it can’t be helped. This feeling (laughs) People won’t understand it Fuhahaha (laughs) It can’t be helped. Then, on the days I put on sunglasses, it left mark, on the side (of his face). Nee. That’s why I’m at loss as to what to do. Am I not allowed to go (fishing), then!? Nee. But it can’t be helped. That’s why next year I’ll be really careful. Even though I’m being careful, But I’ll be more careful. If possible I’ll try not to go. Yes. So, for the occasional time that I do go and get burnt, please forgive me. Nee. This year I won’t be going again. I’ve decided (laughs) Next year I’ll draw pictures And make an effort to lighten my skin again. So, only for going fishing, please forgive me! That’s all, it was Ohno Satoshi!
C.N.Blue (acronym for "Code Name Blue") is a Korean punk(?) rock band that debuted in Japan this past August. Hailing from the same company as F.T.Island, they are trying to break into the Japanese market (see the trend here people) and have yet to debut officially in Korea. For anyone who has watched the Korean drama, "You're Beautiful", the face of Jung Yong Hwa would be extremely familiar.
Unlike most Korean "rock" bands with their similar sounding mild emo-rock ballad music, C.N.Blue went with alternative-punk rock - diversity without being heavy. My only complain though... If you are breaking into the Japanese indies market, why is the majority of the songs sung totally in ENGLISH? Out of the 10 songs they have so far, only one is in Japanese. While it is good to those who understand but I think the underground scene are still filled with listeners who are fluent in only Japanese thus the connection to attract due to language is somewhat lacking.
Here is the first mini album "Now or Never":

...please. Was this in the 2006 AAA dvd or is this another excellent Korean fanmade video?
If so, I must have forgotten and definitely need to rewatch XD Like their Chinese, I think their Korean also CMI if not a little better because there is no complicated intonation to go with the pronunciation. Other than the "고마워요", only Ohchan's pronunciation (as usual) sounded passable not that I am an expert in Korean speech or anything haha just lots of listening practice.
Today got my result.Haha~
My japanese got A.
Other also no bad.
Have to keep it up!
がんばります!
