god damn it sakurai

Hi.

Recently I fell for Sho. Don't ask me how and don't ask me why but I need him and everything about him. That being said, if you have any episodes of stuff with him in it that you want to recommend, please let me know. Comment here! Send me PMs! (If they can only be found in members' only communities and stuff, tell me what the video is and what comm it's from and that'll be fine.)

English subs aren't necessary, but I dragged my girlfriend who doesn't speak Japanese into hell with me so it'd be nice if they had them.

Also, what're the D no Arashi episodes (or was it C? G? I don't remember) where Sho would draw stuff and he'd have to match the drawings with Ohno's drawings? I wanna see those again! And if there're more episodes with Sho's beautiful art skills please tell me...

For the hardcore Arashi fans, what Arashi songs have reaaaaaaaally good Sho vocals? Or any Sho solos you recommend besides sugar & salt, Can't Let You Go, Fly on Friday, T.A.B.O.O. and Kono Mama Motto? I'm such a loser...

P.S. Any Sho + Okada (from V6) moments you'd like to share? Or episodes? Interviews? Pictures?

P.P.S. I'm subbing the Sho + Okada Shinobi Ryoko on March 12. Fuck them and their tendency to be adorable.

P.P.P.S. I might do the Abunai Yakai episode Okada's bound to appear in, too.

is it obvious what made me fall for sho again? it's him and okada i'm garbage

ALSO TO THOSE WHO'RE WAITING FOR ME TO ADD THEM AS A FRIEND, I'M SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG. My inbox has over 1,000 comments right now and I'm trying to get to all of them chronologically (plus I'm super busy) so it's definitely gonna take a while. :( I'm really sorry for the inconvenience!

You're so cute! haha :)
His version of Tomadoi nagara in 5x10 con is good <3 My fave Sho vocals/rap are in Still..., Mada ue wo and Step and Go..But Oh, Jeez, almost all his rap in group songs are good <3
mm..I remember there's one episode in Arashi no Shukudai kun were Nino 'hypnotized' Sho and made him do a backflip. That episode always makes me laugh hard.
And there was an episode of Moji Moji kun (100325) where Aiba, Jun and Sho guesteg. They wore silver suit abd played games. This episode is so funny too :))
Almost all G, D and C no Arashi episodes are funny, also there are a lot of adorable Sho moments in Mago Mago Arashi.. I'm not sure if taijiproject is still active or if the links are still available.. they have good subs..
Of course his acting skills are very good :)

Sorry that I'm so late in the game, but as a fellow Sho-lover, I must comment! I'll try not to say anything that's already been said.

In terms of solo songs, T.A.B.O.O is my favorite, but I absolutely love Yume de Ii Kara and Can't Let You Go. I think both of these songs show many different sides of his singing and rapping. They're very lounge-y and chill at some parts, and there's a good combination of singing and rapping.

For group songs, my favorite Sakuraps are Believe, Step and Go, Sakura Sake, Face Down ("It's like a supernova next to the door" is my text message tone), Kokoro no Sora, and Lucky Man...just to name a few.

Cute/awesome/on-point Sho in PVs include Happiness, Believe, Crazy Moon ~Kimi wa Muteki~, Troublemaker, Wild at Heart, Face Down, and Kokoro no Sora (also the Making of for Crazy Moon ~Kimi wa Muteki~, Monster, and Mada Minu Sekai e).

I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, but Arashi no Shukudai-kun has so many epic Sho fails! Baka Sports with Every Little Thing [2007.08.20], yoga with Yamada Yuu [2007.09.17], the End of the Year Housework Special [2007.12.10], The Live Special [2008.08.04], the 80-Second Talks [2009.11.23] and [2010.02.22], and smelly foods with jaru jaru [2010.01.18]. There are too many to list!

Also, Himitsu no Arashi-chan's Childminder series (particularly the first one when Sakurai and Ohno take care of Koharu-chan), Bakakkoi segments, Arashi Beatbox, and the Sakuraiba date.

I'm sure you found some great things to watch/rewatch already, but hopefully I've helped you find a few more. ^_^

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you fell for da Hamster, waaaa I only thought you had special affection for Ohno, but hell yeah welcome to the SHOW! -Btw, that was Sho's only concert tour and he was the first one in Arashi to have one, Ohno came after and that was it. You can find that concert, it's really good and Sho sings all his first songs, some of arashi and few covers. Some of his raps in Arashi are soo soo good, my personal fav Cool and Soul (You watch AAA in dome), Remarkable, All or nothing, A day in our lives, Still... Kaze no mukoe, Kitto Daijoubu, Kaze and srsly there are a lot more.

BAAMBIIIII AND BUSSAAAAAAAAN are love, Kisarazu it's one of my favourite jdramas, it's so freaking good, one of my top 3 deffinitely.
Maybe was the goofy one, nobody can't resist that Sho and Okada keeps repeating one thing, his Bambi have changed but remains cute/adorable and in abunai O M G they were so purrfect and Okada knows how to make Sho embarrased and nervous, and no matter how much Okada goes Sho will never be rude with his senpai, even when he complained to Okada for extra grabbing his butt in every program or event. I wonder if you watched the first time Okada went to shiyagare, must watch! and he will be AGAIN IN SHIYAGARE YAASSSSS!!!!
When they were promoting Kisarazu Sho was so close with Okada and that was obvious in every promo, after that they vanished for a while, the time we came to see them interacting again was in V6 Gakkou e ikkou in 2008 but that was barely something, a few jcountdowns moments and after that there are many VSA with Okada in it, plus V6 had one vs with Arashi, then Okada is been going a lot to Sho's program.
D and G no arashi for all it matters, artistic Sho is present in both programs and then Arashi no shukudai kun, those programs are their peak and Sho stole so many moments, so watch out!!!!

Enjoy the Sho festival, it's good for the soul <3

im super happy you currently in Sho's phase since that dork need more love + your eternal love to Ohno well im a Yama shipper so any love for my 2 fave is welcome lol

well you into Sho + Okada but im the opposite im totally into Ohno + Okada (the submarine ship deserve more love + he currently practice Jeet Kun Do with Okadacchi all the feel the slowly get back their friendship after Okada guest in Mannequin5 and Shiyagare sharing their history before V6&Arashi happen)

well i think Okada have guest many time in Sho's show even before it change name to abunai Yakai but i don't remember which ep im sure others can point to you
in Gakkou e Ikou! 2002-01-05 there very young Okada and Sho doing mission together
the shiyagare and VS Arashi with Okada all worth watching

in V6 anniversary con last year there a little Sho&Okada moment during the mc and then Inocchi mention them hug and then Sho shout his famous line to Bussan

well not sure if you still need the ep number since everyone already reply to you but the yama art battle
G no Arashi 2006.03.01 ep.21
G no Arashi 2006.08.23 ep.46
i watch this art battle for millionth time just to laugh at Shofail + the awesome Yama

not sure bout you but i really like his recent Japonism solo Rolling Days

Welcome to the club, another Sho's lover!!

Sho's fails are always fun to watch XD. Arashi no Shukudaikun definitely has lots of Sho fail moments! My favourite is definitely the gesture games! Then, the Jikken Special - his amazing moments a the fail boat captain. Then, all those Himitsu no Arashi-chan Mannequin moments. Then, the mago-mago Arashi, kodomo no bangohan is a great show to watch because we know that he cannot cook XD

[toshinyan.livejournal.com]

After I read your post and comments, now I know Sho is really good at stealing ppl heart lol
When I first liked Arashi, my ichiban is Neen. But when I watch Arashi bangumi, concert, and else Sho is really kawaii but also cool xD
He can do everything except drawing tho xD But that's the cute side of him:3
He's not perfect but a hardworker and is a good model
In Japan, there are even fathers who wanted their daughter to marry Sho xD

I realized I really like him when I watch AAA2008 con where he sang Hip Hop Boogie :3
Before, when I watch that con, I only "kyaa" to Neen solo xD
I recommend you to watch Sekai Banzuke 2013.07.05, Sho did a harlem shake there!
And an African representative sang a song for him with so much power, it was hilarious, Sho looked really shock! xD

[roo-kie.livejournal.com]

wow it's seem we are in the same boat...
me too lately a little bit obsessive to see sakurai sho, and here I landed...
may I add you as a friend?
I promise to abide all your rules....

Welcome to the red side :v xD

[moonwitharashi.livejournal.com]

[hana-jae.livejournal.com]

Sho-chan is my ichiban...
I recommend you his solo songs: "Hip Pop Boogie" and "Rolling Days", those are my favorite songs of him
I like his smart but late thinking brain, and I'm so love his nadegata...
If you a shipper type, you have too consider Sakumiya pair. They just so true love each other xD

[krzllganancial.livejournal.com]

DUDE. Welcome to the land of all things nadegata! (LOL that didn't make any sense, but really though, our irrational love for the dork doesn't really make sense in its entirety)

I know a lot of people have already recommended the old ones, so I'll just suggest the newer ones that are relatively easier to find.

If anything, you just HAVE to watch Hip Pop Boogie Chapter 2 in Blast in Miyagi. I can't even expound on how hot he is there. I repeat. BLAZING. HOT.

And you might have already heard Tell Me Why, but if you haven't actually seen him perform it on DVD, I highly recommend you do so. A+++++++++++ for his Sakurap. God. GOD.

I'm well aware that you're not really into watching the concerts as a whole, so go ahead and join lionekotreasure if you haven't yet. The owner uploads live cuts and audio rips from the concert DVDs, perfect for those who just want to see and hear certain performances.

You're welcome. ;) LOL

P.S. I'm from the same country. And we aren't friends yet, so I hope you consider adding me back. (Don't be alarmed by my empty LJ, because Twitter is life LOL)

[iylover.livejournal.com]

So I'm adding you so I can see that very subbed episode! I've been out of the Arashi loop for so long, some Sho would help get me back into it ;0

[katmonkatmon.livejournal.com]

Well it's been a while since you posted this, but if you're still interested I suggest reading translations of his blog Otonoha. I don't know why but I seriously got addicted to reading his blogs recently (you can find some of them in this community. (http://transitions101.livejournal.com/)) They release them in English too in J-Web nowadays but I don't think their translations capture Sho's wit quite as well -_-

Also, the Nipple Shirt and the Head Stockings are just some of my favorite moments from Arashi no Shukudai kun! I also loved the episode where Nagase was the guest! I remember him eating this huge chunk of meat in that episode (though looking at your LJ, you've probably already watched it lol)

I like all of the Shinobi Ryoko episodes (especially that one where he grins when people finally recognize him and the camera captures that shameful moment) and yes, the ones you subbed (Shokada and the baka-duo in Disneyland) <3 <3 <3

Oh and the Training Camp from the Concert DVD Scene (2011) had wonderful moments with scaredy-cat sho!!

[kurokouchi.livejournal.com]

WAIT what is this training camp thing oh my god
