Ume Kayo is an award-winning photographer, and a Satoshi fan! She has mentioned wanting to shoot Arashi in an interview before (Arashi is her 念願のアイドルグループ), and she picked Leader as her #1 in the anan ranking "Dream male subject I want to gaze at through my viewfinder" (she certainly has interesting taste in subjects: #2 is the guy in blue and #3 is this professor). There's an interview with her in the October issue of spoon.:

--- What has caught your attention lately?

Arashi. Ohno-kun and Ninomiya-kun. It's my dream to shoot an Arashi calendar.

July, August would definitely be swimwear. For June, they'd be pelted with rain and their shirts would be all see-through. April would be in front of the cherry blossoms, all refreshing. December would be with Santa by the kotatsu. Wouldn't it be great? It's so cool!

The interviewer comments that it's different from her former photobook, and she says:

「嵐は恋だから」

Haha I don't know her, but I like her already. This is like the Arashi fangirl motto. Arashi, please make her dream come true!

hahahah! she's sure strange! (any chance.. ohmiya fan?? just by reading her "calendar plan" xD) good luck to her =3

oh man, i so want to be in her shoes now.

it's awesome!!
i do hope she does a photoshoot with arashi!!

Wonderful! Another Satoshi/Arashi fan...I like her already too. Ah, anyone who's an Arashi fan is in my good books instantaneously =)

haha I like how you link to the google search,
ARASHI IS LESS THAN 3!! <3<3<3

I remember that AnAn ranking! So it's HER.

I understand if she wants to see Satoshi in swimwear (as my friends all seem to confirm his SIZE) and also in a wet t-shirt in the rain b-but Kachang too??? LMAO! Why do I imagine an full out Ohmiya SK calendar shoot? XD I don't mind a model-like Arashi calendar though. Shochi in center-fold!

Model reminds me of Aiba these days. I think he can end the calender well if so. <3

I like her already! Anyone who likes Arashi is number one in my book! As what Gwen and I would say, we are happily biased! XD

ahahaha...wow, she's got some interesting choices there. but of course i like her! and her ideas for the calendar sure sounds like something i'd want to buy... ^_^

i love her plan!!! its so omoshiroi!!!! xDDD

"because Arashi is love"

hehe, sounds like us <333 (I don't know how to make heartmarks too -__-;;)

Ooooh, I like her train of thought there. Seethrough shirts in the rain/swimwear/snuggling under a kotatsu in winter/hanami party? I'd buy it!

And after watching that Jr clip of Ohno-kun from earlier in the week, I'll confirm his SIZE as well. *___*

Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the translations you've been doing for Oh-chan month. I always like to read about the thoughts and comments of industry people who've worked with or admire the boys. I think you're the go-to expert on finding fans of Arashi in the entertainment and media sector! (Also fanmen, wee!)

Thank you for your translate ^^

Arashi no fan have every style ne!! So cute

Now I'm imaging omiya SK in swimwear ><

eian! Glad to hear from you again ^___^ Haha will try to be on the lookout for more famous fans. As for the fanmen, one of them just up and disappeared (pr0n fanman, where did you go?).

Hi twothreefour! Thanks for dropping by. I'd definitely buy too! Would also love for her to shoot Arashi in her usual un-idol style and capture Arashi's baka moments :D

I hope so too! The interviewer actually asked her, "Won't that wish be easily granted?" but she's like, "No no, they're quite high-level..." She's really quite the fan :D

Oh right I think I remember you posting about the ranking before! They asked other peeps other than her too, and their number 1s were like all these actors, like him and him. Her Ohno Satoshi really stood out XD

Hi genki! I wonder what her idea of swimwear is...somehow I think it's more like this and this rather than Speedos...

Hi Gwen! Less than three? You mean hits? Sorry if I'm being slow, getting sleepy already...

ahh i'm so sorry for confusing... i just saw someone using 'less than 3' to say '<3' so I thought I'd type it like that too, just for fun! >.<

Ah! Sorry for being so slow m(_ _)m My only excuse is that I was already half-asleep XD

In the latest issue of BRUTUS magazine, even though it's one page, she ends up in the photoshoot beside Ohno at the Hanayashiki Amusement Park that she wanted to go to with him.

I think her wish to shoot Ohchan got fulfilled.

So happy she got her wish! I wish they also printed whatever pics of Leader she took that day. I just saw the text at Mindy's. Kinda disappointed it's not a taidan/cross-talk; this would have been very interesting.

Ume Kayo! Finally I find you!!!
I simply love you! I'm a photographer too, I just eant to see you that.. that you see, the things the thinks..
You have the third eye.
Thanks for you images.
