Christmas Eve 1999 by Arashi

Aiba: Speaking of Christmas reminds me of my birthday! I was born on Decemeber the 24th, and this year I'll be seventeen. I don't think there is much difference between the ages 16 and 17, but 17 and 18 may be different? When I was in elementry school, my family and I celebrated Christmas with my birthday. This year, I'm hoping that the combined spirit of Chirstmas and my birthday would make my wish powerful. I already asked Santa for a grand feast with a giant hot pot of fish that would warm the bottom of everyone's heart.

This year, I want to go snowboarding the most. I want to challenge myself to a higher level.

Recently, Arashi is practicing volleyball. Ever since I started to play volleyball, my bisepts became larger. Playing Volleyball made us strong and it also gives us a stronger sense of responsibility. We all gave it our best shot. Masayuki from V6 is good volleyball player. He helps us to improve our volleyball skills. I Hope that one day we can shake hands with professional volleyball players.

I think our CD cover really did a good job of introducing Arashi. I also hope that everyone will see our video V no Arashi.

MatuJun:This year I'm hoping to spend Christmas with my friends. I want everyone to be excited for this year's Christmas. If I have a girl friend, I would spend a passionate Christmas with her, but unfortunately, I don't have one at the moment. My girlfriend and I would go out for a walk, which is something that I really want to do. When I was little, I spent Christmas with my family, and we had fried chicken for dinner. I also recieved lots of gifts from them. Last year, I spent my Christmas in a concert. I really enjoyed having done that because it was a special way to past Christmas.

What would I do for Christmas this year? I wish I can have a Arashi Christmas party. Beside that, I also want the five memebers to do a Christmas count down. I believe that Arashi will make Christmas more exciting.

Members of Arashi play volleyball in the video. After the shooting, we went home with body aches and pains. The pain reminds me of what I felt when I was in training. I should have known about this and practice in advice.

The release of our CD is the most important thing to me. In the music video, we danced more than 20 time in total before the video is complete. So, I think simplisity is the best. What do you think?

Ohno: In my fifth or sixth grade in elementry school, I have a group of friends (roughly ten people). On every Sunday, we would skate around or play games together. When we were in high school, we spent christmas together and exchange gifts. Once I recieved stuffed animals of Micky and Mini. My ideal way to spend Christmas is to chat with Santa Clause for the entire night. (laugh) I guess this dream of mine would never come true.

What I want to do the most this winter? I want to eat potato. First, I would bake it and then wrap seaweed around it before I dip it in soy sause. Uhh...it's delicious!

Recently, I create my own christmas cards by using a computer.

Playing volleyball with Arashi members give us all a chance to unite as a group. In my opinion, practing for volleyball is the most difficult task for me. I have trouble aiming accurately. Whenever I hit the volleyball, it flies into the wrong directions, and I end up feeling really very sorry.

Arashi's music video is completed! In the video, everyone has a particular part where they dance by themselves. I created some of my own moves, but none made it unto the video (laugh). I guess they weren't good for the public eye, sorry about that!

Nino: Christmas only comes once a year, and not to mention, there is only one Chritmas in the year 1999. It would be great to spend Christmas like the way people do on television. But, in reality, Christmas is loney for me. Last year I got injured in a concert, so I spent Christmas eve in the hospital. How unfortunately! Otherwise, I would have gone to the conert and celebrate Christmas with everyone else. (Nino performs in concert that is held on Xmas)

Christmas day only comes once in a year, so it should be spent with happiness. During winter, I don't ski or go snowboarding because I'm not good at it.

Arashi's CD will soon be released, and the music video is completed as well. Arashi is a trendy music group, and everyone dances well during filming. The video makes me look good. (laugh) Maybe because I am the leader of acting! I can't help it!

Talkig about drama, when I look at V no Arashi, I remember the hardships that we had. I had a lot of fun making V no Arashi, and maybe that comes from the love I have for acting. I also like to be in comedy and TV series, but war films and modern drama is what I'm good at. (laugh) I really enjoy acting. Did anyone look at the world volleyball cup? I hope everyone will support volleyball and me until the very end.

Sho: Last year at Christmas, I went to Kamisen's concert (Kamisen=Coming Century). After the concert, I took a piece of cake and I wanted to do something with it. At the end, I ended up doing nothing instead. (laugh) Eventhough I was with Yuki at the time, I passed Christmas feeling angry at the way people felt about Christmas. (laughs) The concert went well, but the more exciting the concert, the more loney one feels when it is over. The spirit of Christmas is really evident on TV, magazines and even for the lovers in the park. I really hope that one day I would be able to spend a christmas with the feeling of love.

My birthday is in winter, and every year we go skiing. The trend of the century is snowboarding. I hope that I can spend a full day in this winter hanging out with my good friends. At night we can eat hot pots, relax in the hot spring and in the morning we all go snow boarding. That'll be awsome!

In V no Arashi, I am very satisfied with the way we played volleyball. We challenged the Americans , and I looked cool, but we lost the game.

Arashi's CD will be out soon. I'm a bit imbarrased that my voice is now on sale. Our video is not bad too. Please watch me carefully.
