bring in the dorks

Before anything else...a short picspam feat. Ohno. Simply because =)








His expression towards watching the VTR of his own performance...the look changes from surprised to embarrassed to bewildered to critical before going back to the shyness with a grin.


Adorkable ♥

And that ends my short picspam just because....okay, so it's because he makes me really fuzzy-happy.

Anyhow, the main point of this entry is to acknowledge that cool guys aren't necessary all serious and suave and charming all the time. Oh no. Especially not with Arashi. Especially them.

They may have a Keio Uni graduate who is also a brilliant newscaster, a Hollywood actor who has earned the praises of many, an artist with an exhibition of his own, an actor with multiple diverse roles, and a TV host with an impressionable charisma - and they can all sing in delightful harmony while dancing with such coordination and agility...

...and yes, they can look darn good as well.

But they are not one to shy away from disposing their pretty-boy image and charming self and exchanging those for these below:

From an episode of Arashi no Shukudaikun with guest Yama-chan - the presentation of Arashi's insanity and incredible dorkiness that simply amazes. For the particular episode, instead of the regular food-eating session with the guest's favorite, short talk and a game (or two), they went with a board game created by Aiba for kicks and which they haven't played since 'G no Arashi'. Simply roll the dice and see where you end up with, with the mission of heading to the goal before the show ends. The columns aren't just your regular 'take 3 steps back', ' miss a turn' - those are menial stuff. With Arashi it's:




Pull a stocking over your head.....


...for the rest of the show's duration.


And there's no running away to escape your fate.


Get ejected for 15 minutes from being on camera, on stage - despite the fact that the said show being a less than 30 minutes program.


Getting a black marker to draw around your nostrils...


...to highlight an unnecessary feature which many wouldn't even think of accentuating in the first place...


...and with the artistic help of one Ohno Satoshi who was lucky enough to not land himself any punishments...yet.


Oh, and there's also acting the part of someone who isn't quite what you'd define as perfectly normal. Think weird hand moves, odd sounds and wiggling of hips.

To top it off...dropping your dignity by wearing t-shirts with holes at very, very particular spots.




Between them five, actually - all five of them, can be passed off as some sort of pervert lunatic XD And yes, they did all these on a pretty regular basis a few short years back.

Coolness is just an image to charm. But the real attraction is the dorkiness that simply shines. Arashi - wins hands down with their amazing ability to simply make fun of themselves with such good humor and eagerness XD
