He also talked about that Kame and Yamapi give him strength ♥ it's really sweet of them <3
Here is the direct link to the translation (not me who translate it)

Since they're so close together, they are able to become good influences for each other. As they continue to compete with each other, their relationships will last for years to come!

This was aired a few days ago and analysed the reasons behind Arashi's popularity, and also featured interviews with their fans. In particular, the show tries to explore the reasons why Arashi is so popular amongst older women.


Highlights of Part 1:
Himitsu no Arashi-chan viewership demographic:
23.7 % females age 35-49
19.5% females age >50
15.5% males/females age 13-19
14.8% females age 20-34
7.6% males >50
6.9% males/females 4-12
6.3% males 35-49
5.6% males 20-34

Interview with 52-year-old fan from Chiba:
The reason why she has continued to cook/eat curry every week during this year's summer: so as to get the barcodes from the curry packaging in hopes of winning a ticket to Premium Night event at DisneySea
- She checks for Arashi's shows in the TV listings daily and records them
- While watching Arashi's concert DVD, she sings along (the footage shows her and her 27-year-old daughter singing along with her waving her uchiwa)

Why she is a fan:
- They do not feel like 'stars', but more like normal guys
- She feels healed by just seeing their smiling faces
- When asked how she would feel when she finally sees them in person, she said she might cry


( Parts 2 and 3 )

I really will freak out depending on the answer to this question.

My friends and I were standing in line for a SHINee concert early in the afternoon. One of our new friends called her own friend via cellphone. That person she called wasn't at the SHINee concert because she was watching Jun--YES, she swears its JUN MATSUMOTO. He was on television. GMA speaking to Pia Guanio with FOUR OTHER GUYS...

KAT-TUN member Tanaka Koki went to see the solo concert held by NEWS member Yamashita Tomohisa. He also looked back at some memorable incidents.

Tanaka "A while ago I went to see Yama-P's concert! He looked brilliant. We used to go to the same high school, where we enjoyed doing stupid things and getting scolded by the teachers. I slept over at Yama-P's house and then inviting Yama-P to my home. Although we were performing as Johnny's members I naturally felt that we were closer as classmates.
