Enjoy!
And, so that I don't clutter up my friends f-lists, I'll be posting this week's Arashi vlog. Also, I'm kind of ridonkulously hyper in this video:
P.S. I REALLY LIKE BOA'S NEW KOREAN ALBUMMMM






Ninomiya: Today our new single "Dear Snow" goes on sale! So we're going to do a round-table discussion about what you can look forward to with it!
Sakurai: The first time I heard this song, I knew it was a good one. Recently we've had a lot of bright, fast tempo songs, so I think this song is one that will really stick with you.
Aiba: For sure! The lyrics also really flow!
Matsumoto: It is a little different than all the songs that we've sung up until now, huh. And, we really don't have many winter songs.
Ninomiya: And this time the word "snow" is even in it
Matsumoto: I do like having a new outlook on the world that just screams "winter"! And the song is the theme song to "Ohoku" (in theaters now) so I was really curious as to when they would use it. And there's a section of the lyrics that seem self-sacrificial...
Sakurai: Is it a movie about sacrifice?
Ninomiya: No! It is not! (laugh)
Matsumoto: A love story, then?
Ninomiya: Well, if you were to say that, I guess it's not incorrect. It's just something that you can look forward to in the gender reversal world of "Ohoku"! I watched the movie in it's entirety, and when Arashi's song started coming on it was great because it really pulled on my heart strings!
Aiba: And I like the CD cover picture! Leader's outfit is cool!
Ninomiya: What's it like?
Sakurai: A stylish tatami room child!
Arashi: lawl
Ohno: So it was fresh?
Aiba: Yea! You were really a stylish leader. I'd love it if people paid attention to even those details.
Matsumoto: And in the first press limited edition, aside from the music video there's also a making photo version too!
Aiba: That's a first for us, isn't it. Like while the song is playing, the pictures are floating around there too.
Sakurai: There was also that rare Ohno-san and Ninomiya-san confrontation scene too! (laugh)
Ninomiya: That's only in the picture version!
Ohno: Ohh! That thing we did in the middle...
Matsumoto: That was the best part of it, that picture (laugh)
Ohno: Look forward to it! ...or something (laugh) But, the filming for the music video was... hot.
Matsumoto: It's because we were in a winter setting during summer (laugh)
Aiba: But the finished product is right on the mark! The difference between the traditional Japanese style and the stylishness is really interesting.
Ninomiya: It's really ritzy (laugh)
Matsumoto: Of course the thing to listen for is Nino's singing voice!
Sakurai: That's right. And it makes me wonder what kind of movie "Ohoku" is.
Aiba: I have to go watch the movie, and quick!
Sakurai: Truly, from my standpoint, I'd really like you to enjoy the movie along with our song!
Arashi: Huh?
Ninomiya: "My standpoint"...?
Sakurai: I mean the exact same standpoint as Nino (laugh)
Ninomiya: Thank you! Well~ it's good to be seasonal, though. I feel like you can really carefully listen to it.
Ohno: It's like autumn!
Matsumoto: Er--autumn? It's a winter song...
Ohno: There's some kind of a feeling of stability to it
Aiba: Well then~ It's a collection of autumn and winter. (laugh) It's truly a song that will leave a lasting impression on you, so we'd like you to really listen to it!
And, so that I don't clutter up my friends f-lists, I'll be posting this week's Arashi vlog. Also, I'm kind of ridonkulously hyper in this video:

They can't get through a roundtable-talk without teasing Leader a bit, those four! I like Dear Snow, even better than Love Rainbow actually ^_^ It's really just like you said: I don't know what to look! I don't even understand that much japanese, but I'm satisfied with just seeing the guys together having fun XD I'm really looking forward to nest weeks VS Arashi, I don't like Tom Cruise as much as Cameron, with all this Scientology-stuff going on behind the scenes, but seeing those five flustered and all hyper, it's worth waiting for!

Nicely said there, Nino!
And thank YOU for the translation. I've just started visiting your vlog on youtube and thought that it's really interesting. Something out of the norm. ;) I even find myself talking to myself agreeing to what you've said, etc! LOL

In my world of imagination:
Ohno is a deep sea fisherman who sings the days away.
Nino is a famous magician by night who tests video games by day.
Sho is a game show host who raps the guests' introductions.
Aiba is a zookeeper who makes up new ways to entertain guests.
Jun is a host from a club who is taking up modeling.
I am so excited about Cruise-Diaz Day!
