In public they are Arashi and in private they are different people. Nino is not a brat, the character he plays in the group Arashi is a brat. Just like the character Aiba plays is dumb but the real Aiba is not. I hope people understand this.

It`s revealed that it was nino who bringing up this idea, and he's doing it 6 times in concert from sapporo to tokyo just to have aiba san realize him, really a cute n an unpredictable action >_<Haibarachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205528808100677486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269234777713634743.post-79788206742147642792014-09-01T18:32:57.621-07:002014-09-01T18:32:57.621-07:00Ah, yes you are absolutely right about Aiba being ...Ah, yes you are absolutely right about Aiba being a year above Nino and Jun! I meant to edit this post after I watched that episode of VSA, but I kept forgetting to do it, so I'm glad you reminded me in this comment! <br /><br />I do remember Nino's story about his fictional brother, too, though like you I cannot remember who he told it to haha! Oh Nino... you can totally see his devil-may-care attitude in his junior appearances on Hachiji da J or Ai Rabu Jr. <br /><br />Nino is indeed a very complicated guy, and I've tried describing his personality here, but I won't even pretend that what i wrote is in any way a thorough evaluation of his character! He (and I guess this could be true of all people too) just has so many different, contradicting sides to his person. He can be snarky but that doesn't mean he can't also be gentle and considerate. He can be unathletic and lazy as hell, but that doesn't mean that he isn't sexy or that he doesn't work as hard as anyone else when it comes to the things that really matter. He has this aloof sort of demeanor at times and doesn't like overly mushy stuff or being all emotional in public, but of course we all know that he is just as passionate and emotional in his heart as any of the more hot-blooded members! Ah, Neen, he is just so complex, and that's what makes it so nice to watch him on TV. <br /><br />Thank you for your comment, and for reading this long rambling post haha!

Nino does have flawless skin and although I believe he's the least healthy member out Arashi, could be genetics and because he does the least that could affect his skin. The brat really did start pranking people when he was a junior XD I don't remember who, but didn't he lie that he had a brother within Johnny's to someone and then later forgot all about it? I love his snarkiness, especially when he's trolled somebody. And the best thing about his cockiness, which is half exaggerated I'm sure, is that he can back up his talk. He will say when he don't think he can succeed, but when he boasts that he can do something and I'm doubtful Neen usually blows me away. Awesome brat. Btw, when K8 guested on vsArashi and they were separated into school years, I thought Aiba was alone one year above Nino and Jun?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269234777713634743.post-90433331447977224612014-07-05T04:40:58.512-07:002014-07-05T04:40:58.512-07:00It's really interesting how Nino can scare you...It's really interesting how Nino can scare you so much with his acting! He is rather good at realism (I actually think he is better at doing realistic characters than he is at portraying over-the-top comedic characters). And yes, it is actually quite hard to pull off realism in acting, but Nino does it so well. Especially melancholy characters. I think it's because he has melancholy eyes ><<br /><br />And yes!! Another Aimiya lover! Honestly, they are so sweet to watch, like in those WWG moments this year, and in those Shukudai moments haha! I haven't watched all the Shukudai episodes, but I know what you're talking about! Nino is always looking out for Aiba like an older brother (even though Aiba is older). I think they are definitely both very fond of each other ^^<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to stop by this blog!

Seeing their interaction onscreen is really fun and lovely, and Nino can only tease Aiba in that way since they are that close <3<br />Well, I know that all of Arashi's members are close to each other, and not that I ship any pairings, but Aiba's and Nino's friendship is so lovely that they even write it daringly to each other during each other's birthday message. I also love when in one of Shukudai's epi Aiba seemed to almost say something unsuitable to be shared onscreen, and Nino stopped him, directly knowing what was in Aiba's mind while others don't XPGabynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269234777713634743.post-19171569425167950062014-07-04T11:36:09.891-07:002014-07-04T11:36:09.891-07:00Indeed!

I've been wondering for such a long of time, why every time I watched him in his dramas and movies I just feel like it is the real him and due to the realism I don't understand when others praise his acting skill, and why there are also times when I end up being afraid of watching his roles in those dramas and/or movies. So apparently it is due to how well he portrays his characters, and how good he is at making the roles into realism. Never did I, aside from Nino's works, being afraid at watching an actor in their roles. I remember clearly when I watched his door to door drama sp, in the middle of the story I had to pause the video and watch his true self in arashi's bangumis so that I won't mix his characters with his own real self.Gabynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269234777713634743.post-47837620820852664932014-05-05T23:20:08.871-07:002014-05-05T23:20:08.871-07:00So I posted what I know and could find about Nino&...So I posted what I know and could find about Nino's family, and you can find a link to that in the beginning of this post. <br /><br />I forgot to thank you for reading this in my previous comment ^.^ I'm very glad you enjoyed my ramblings on Nino and glad to meet someone who also appreciated the Aimiya friendship!

I'<br /><br />May I ask where you got the information about his parents still being married and working at a cooking school? I just don't remember seeing that anywhere myself (but then again, I've been that obsessive about following Nino, so I do miss a lot of his interviews/shows etc.). I'd be really grateful if you could shed light onto this matter since you seem to be more familiar about it than me.<br /><br />Sorry again for all the confusion. I have edited this post to remove that part about Nino's family since I can't really find any concrete information about it. I am currently writing a post about this correction, so please check this blog in two hours or so, and I'll probably have the correction post up so we can obsess and puzzle over NIno's family background. <br /><br />Thanks again so much for pointing this out!HKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123061067566296308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269234777713634743.post-68199684803275565322014-05-05T17:51:10.339-07:002014-05-05T17:51:10.339-07:00I enjoyed reading your page regarding Nino, he is ...I enjoyed reading your page regarding Nino, he is the sarcastic one of the group, the brat as you say, but we wouldn't have him any other way. Plus the way he "picks" and then "protects" Aiba stands out. <br /><br />But I just have one small correction, you have the he is from a single parent family from the wrong side of the tracks. When in fact it's the exact opposite. Both his parents (who are still married) are teachers at one of the finest cooking schools in Tokyo, Japan. (that's why he doesn't eat rich food, he grew up on it). He doesn't get along with his father but he still sees him. And his grandfather is the owner of a windshield wiper factory, He expected Nino to be his heir and when that didn't happen he turned to Nino's sister. He actually came from wealth, as pointed out in the picture of him infront of his front door as a child. It's a very expensive "western" glass paneled door. And some of the other Jr's "picked" on him for being rich at first, but they soon got over it with his sarcastic wit.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />becAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12814416503772841663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269234777713634743.post-7394313573188416512014-04-06T10:54:33.992-07:002014-04-06T10:54:33.992-07:00Lol.

In that case you are better than me I have never watched any of their concert DVDs. :) Besides not owning any of them, it also just don't feel right watching them alone since no one in my circle is crazy about them.<br />You are absolutely right about Nino's innocent looks... boyish and impish...which made him so irresistible. His laziness helps too of course, just make one wants to take him home, cuddle him and looks after him. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09779760770184285541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269234777713634743.post-24484725930600409972014-04-04T04:45:34.271-07:002014-04-04T04:45:34.271-07:00Ahh...

I enjoyed writing all the member posts and reliving those funny moments throughout the years as I did so. Nino is a character, isn't he? Hahaha... He's so innocent and adorable looking but has the most viper-like tongue!

I too was Jun-baited into Arashi but as I watched the various Arashi variety programs online, I begin to fall in love with Ninomiya Kazunari. He is now my favourite member in the group. :)<br />I too is originally from Asia (SG) and is currently in the US but only started being interested in the group in 2012. I would love to attend one of their concerts but not sure when that will actually take place. <br />Thank you for the blog and information and keep up the good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09779760770184285541noreply@blogger.com
