翔くん、お誕生日おめでとうございます。
I want to do this before the stroke of midnight. I hope I can make it without being late. I’m sorry if this post is marked on the 26th of January…
Sho-kun, for a long while, it took me a long time to notice you. At first there was nothing spectacular about you, but as the more I saw Arashi, the more I see how important you are as a part of it. My dream since some short time ago was to become a singer.. I had always thought that if I would ever pursue that profession, I would get a bachelor degree before I do anything serious (ie. moving to Taiwan or Japan). There has been a few times since I entered university when I’ve thought you were amazing to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Economics at Keio while you were still an Arashi member. Because of this, I tried my best often times just to prove to myself that I could at least get a degree. A part of me still thinks that, but the fact is, it’s becoming more and more distant to relate myself to you.
You’re awesome with kids, you put your studies first, and you treat people equally. Although you have your weak points (bad temper, lame jokes, and horrible artist), your good points overwhelm them by eons. One look at some Mago Mago episodes will prove this. Without you, Arashi wouldn’t be the way it is today. You are a part of Arashi, and your colours show very well. There is no Arashi without you.
It’s a revelation to see you as a newscaster. I’m serious… I cannot believe the serious man standing in NEWS ZERO is the same guy that wore nipple-revealing T-shirts and had black ink around their nostrils… Also, when people see you on the news, it must be hard to accept the fact that you can’t draw to save your life.
And.. I’ve mentioned this quite a few times to Pei.. I’m glad you pay attention to your kouhai. I still regard many of Hey! Say! JUMP to be kids, and I’m actually worried about them as a group. But I’m glad you are there, because if I was to pick anyone out of Arashi to watch over them, it would be you.. I think, that you helped Chinen wipe his nose one time, I don’t remember if it was during their debut concert or during one of the World Cup Volleyball thingies… But it was really cute… <3.
Anyway, I thank you for being a part of Arashi. Oh, also… Ikuta Toma is taking your spot as Takemoto in HACHIKURO. It feels weird to see him in the almost exact clothing as you had which made your look like a boy next door… But I’m sure he won’t disappoint =).

PS. I found out you were afraid of heights today xD;.
I recorded a song today (again). It’s called Ashita and it’s sung by Hirahara Ayaka.
Singing makes me happy.
I wish you happiness.
Yasashii Jikan… is every bit as gentle and slow as Haikei…
I want to write about my favourite and recommended dramas <3.
