Translation: Satoshi Ohno, The Multi-talented Captain in the Japanese Entertainment Industry

[arashilovezs]

I'm so happy to see Arashi is getting more and more recognition from countries outside of Japan! I've translated an online Indonesian article from this site --> HERE

Oh-chan | Arashi

Its TOTALLY Oh-chan biased and I'm getting suspicious about the writer.. Moshikashite, an Ohno Ichiibaner?!!? *is suspicious*
In any case, its a sweet article highlighting his lovely attributes. I actually got a link from someone who posted about it on arashi_on but I can't remember who.. If its you, please do reply so I can credit you~ ^-^

Satoshi Ohno, The Multi-talented Captain in the Japanese Entertainment Industry
(Captain?! See why I have suspicious about the writer being a fan?? XD)

How many trophies have the legendary Japanese boy band, Arashi received? How many concerts have they held? How many advertisements and shows have been played (on TV, of them)? Certainly the number is too much to count.

Arashi is a big (as in well-known maybe?) boy band, with members full of potential. The busyness of the group and individuals who run around (everywhere) certainly requires a lot of energy. This also includes humility so as to be able muffle their individual egos. Usually, the role of guarding and keeping the balance is played by a leader. How about for Arashi?

(It is) more or less the same. The role of Captain Satoshi Ohno (29) is also fundamental in harmonizing the relationship between Arashi members. Satoshi is a well-mannered, friendly and a devoted individual, loves to embrace (hug) members with passion and, of course, with a strong charisma.

Satoshi is a figure worthy of admiration. Not only because of his sharp-looks, but also because he has everything an idol of this generation needs. Satoshi is adept at dancing, sings beautifully, acts well, and also has ambition in the Arts. Satoshi's achievements fascinates many. Not only the achievements with Aiba Masaki, Matsomoto Jun, Ninomiya Kazunari, and Sho Sakurai, but also achievements as an individual.

The man who is called Oh-chan by those close to him has held a solo concert labeled "3104" in 2006. And became the first member of Arashi to own a solo single in 2009. Satoshi may also be the first member of a boy band to have had a solo art exhibit.

His solo art exhibition? Yes. In the exhibition entitled "Freestyle", Satoshi displayed hundreds of his work in the form of photo-books, caricatures, carvings, clay figurines, even graffiti. Its a serious achievement for a Pop Artist of this generation whom in general, is labeled as the follower of the industry (i.e. just follows the pre-determined boundaries of the entertainment world).

The youngest of two kids, he is now known as the member with the highest dedication. Other than the focus in his vocals Satoshi is the best dancer in the group and might be the best in the whole of Johnny Entertainment.

He arranges the movement of Arashi's actions on stage. Every movement and (fast) steps in dances is captured easily, including the times where the other members are having trouble (I think this sentence refers to the fact that he is attentive to the members' and his actions on stage. That or the fact that he can learn moves really quickly XD). It is already a well-known fact that Chinen Yuuri, one of the best dancers in Hey! Say! Jump idolizes the multi-talented Satoshi.

Even Chinen half hopes to appear in a project together and wants his face to be drawn by Satoshi. (Thank you jadeswallow  for clearing this sentence up for me~♥)

[Note: My Indonesian is a bit rusty at best so please do forgive mistakes but I did try to keep as close to the literal meaning as possible. I tried to add notes where appropriate to increase understanding but if there is anything that's unclear, just ask and I'll clarify it for you ^-^]

Edit: I saw articles on Arashi, Nino and Aiba (Tell me if you see Jun or Sho-chan!) and I'm thinking of translating them too so stay tuned if you'd like to read those too.
And um, answering the popular question of "Are you Indonesian", no I'm not,  but I do understand Bahasa and with a good dict, I can get by more complicated stuff but I can't write it properly (grammar kills me!), but I can speak quite a bit colloquially.

Thanks for reading,
Til next time~

[ms-pretense.livejournal.com]

which would be great if you translate it also.
it's just an advice though..^_^

[arashilovezs.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Do you understand/speak/learn Bahasa too?

Ahhaha yupp ^-^
I wanted to see how I went with Oh-chan's and I think I am gonna translate the rest so stay tuned for that XD

[ms-pretense.livejournal.com]

I'm actually an Indonesian..hehehee

since magazines/whatsoever in my country,which contain arashi article are quite rare,seeing your translation is sooo refreshing..>_<
which also fill me in about which site does contain a fair amount of Japanese celeb (esp arashi for my case) compare to Korean celeb (yes,in my country Korean celeb rules..T_T)

so thank you sooo much..^_^

*btw you're doing great,so what are you waiting for?^_^

[arashilovezs.livejournal.com]

Aww~ you're so sweet! Thank you ^-^ Yup, I'll try to translate the rest of the articles and post it in one go =)

[kazukazu89.livejournal.com]

*cough*
Eh? you could translate from indonesian language????
This same tabloid also wrote about nino a couple months ago..
I'm so happy!! because arashi in indonesian media is sooo rare :p

[arashilovezs.livejournal.com]

XD
Is that a subtle suggestion to translate his article?? XD

[kazukazu89.livejournal.com]

hahaha..not really..
because I can read it in its original article..
but, tell me..
how could you translate from indonesian??

[arashilovezs.livejournal.com]

hahaha okay ^-^
Um.. I studied Malay and Bahasa is not too far XD

[kaze-kame-k.livejournal.com]

oops, I'm wondering if the writer is a fan of Ohchan or Johnny's boys in general ^________^~
Thanks for sharing this ^^= I'm sure to go to bed tonight when smiling by myself *grin*

[wordofophelia.livejournal.com]

haha.. i've read the raw, but trust me,in my opinion, your english version is way much better than the original one (the Bahasa) =).The Tabloid kind of using the "weird" bahasa? (the writer used the formal words but he/she used them in informal ways).I like your English version better. Thanks for translating the article to English (^_^)v

[jadeswallow.livejournal.com]

LOL. I can't stand the way Bintang writes its articles too. I mean, did their reporters even learn how to write in proper Bahasa Indonesia? xD

[jadeswallow.livejournal.com]

Hey you did a good job. I'm Indonesian but honestly, the way the article written was weird, even for native like me.

I just want to correct something. Hopefully I don't offend you

Bahkan setengah berharap Chinen ingin tampil dalam proyek bersama dan ingin wajahnya digambar Satoshi.

This sentence should be translated as something like:
Even Chinen half hope to appear in a project together and want his face to be drawn by Satoshi


....which he actually already did xD. But yeah, Ohno is not the one who choreographed Arashi's dance movements, he only choreographed a few, didn't he? So there is a few mistakes in this article, but still, we're glad that Indonesian magazines has started writing articles about them


Thanks for translating this!

[arashilovezs.livejournal.com]

No of course not! Like I said, I'm a bit rusty and I didn't get that sentence at all either! XD

Ahhh~ It makes more sense now loll! I'll edit it in =)

Yeah, I don't know if it was right, about the dance steps and all and I thought I was the only one thinking that its written a bit strange since its supposed to be actual writers writing it XD

[michicha.livejournal.com]

yay! Thanks Hannah-chan!! I had much fun reading it, specially because it's about Oh-chan!

Looking forward to read your next translation! ^_^

[bintang-bumi.livejournal.com]

Nice job!

The tabloid alredy published articles of Arashi, Nino, Sho, Oh-chan, and Aiba in past 5-6 months. Only Jun's left and I bet it's someday around this month. I think one of the staffs actually is an Arashian.
XD

[miss-lonliah.livejournal.com]

wow the article was amazing! & so your translation! :)
Everybody has to approve!!! Oh-chan is not a normal idol! He is so outstanding & unique! <3

[risuw-chan.livejournal.com]

wuaaaah thanks for translating it in english
you study bahasa? how nice of you XD (i thought no one would bother to study our language XDDD)

[arashilovezs.livejournal.com]

Really?? Here in Australia, its an option for high school kids. My school offers Arabic, Turkish, Indonesian and French ^-^

[jankat.livejournal.com]

thanks
love read it

[aya-yuuki.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot for the translation.
I'll look forward to Nino's and Aiba's as well.

[matsuyaney.livejournal.com]

thanks for translating and sharing :D

i think the writer must be an Ohno Satoshi fan :))

if she's not.. then why did she call Ohno as Captain?

I mostly call Ohno as Captain or Riida.. i think most Arashi fans call him by that way XD

[pame-31.livejournal.com]

I can totally feel the fan in her (supposing is a "she") XDD

soo that mea, Chinen will start fishing, get suburned, and have the hairdo similar to Oh.chan?XDD

will be waiting for next translations! n__n
is great to know other opinions from other countries! thank youuu!!♥

[temebaka.livejournal.com]
