This was their first time to do an audio commentary, except for Sho-kun who got to do one with Hachikuro. Some cute parts I remember:
Aiba-chan and Kashii Yu are together by the river:
Nino: Did you talk with each other, Aiba-san?
Aiba-chan: We did.
Nino: What did you talk about?
Aiba-chan: Kashii-chan said she likes motorcycles. I told her I like them too!
Nino: But you don't.
Aiba-chan: ...Yes.
*snickers*
Aiba-chan: It was to keep our conversation going! I tried my best!
MatsuJun: Kashii-chan will be shocked to hear this!
The five of them are drinking together:
Inudou: Do you really get like this when you're drunk, Aiba-kun?
*laughs*
Sho-kun: More or less.
Aiba-chan: Not like that! But yeah, I do cry when I get drunk.
Inudou: Really?
Nino: He gets all emotional by himself.
MatsuJun: He'll immediately start saying, "Ah, we're such lucky guys..."
Aiba-chan: "I'm glad I'm in Arashi..." I cry like that.
Inudou: So you cry by yourself.
Aiba-chan: Yes...Inudou-san, let's have a drink together sometime.
*laughs*
Nino is drawing his manga with the scarecrow:
Sho-kun: That manga is one of the special features of the DVD box, right?
Inudou: You sure know a lot.
Sho-kun: I'm an Arashi fanatic.
Leader is having his breakdown:
Inudou: Is it any different from when you're working with other actors?
MatsuJun: Not when we're actually acting, but it's clearly different when we're like in our dressing room.
Nino: I can say that when the five of us work together, we don't get to make any new friends.
*laughs*
Sho-kun: Because we get by with the five of us.
End credits:
Inudou: This movie was made possible because I got to know you guys. Thank you very much.
Other interesting bits:
- The stray dog actually had a leash, and they had to erase it through CG.
- The scene where Leader first meets his crush was shot at Shakujii Park. Sho-kun says that he was the only one filming on that day, and after that they went to Music Station to perform Kitto daijoubu. Director Inudou decided to cast the girl who plays the crush when he saw her in a TV spot for Remioromen's song Konayuki.
- It took a while for director Inudou to notice that Nino is left-handed. He thought, "This is bad! Wouldn't it be weird that a guy who eats with his left hand draws manga with his right?" He was seriously worried about it, but eventually rationalized it when others assured him, "There are really people like that." Nino explains that his family owns a factory; he was told that he would inherit the place, and so was made to learn to write with his right hand (easier to draw plans/diagrams equipment-wise).
- The mouse is real, not CG.
- The scene where Leader and Aiba-chan see off Nino at Shinjuku Station was shot at Hibiya Park. They had a hard time shooting it because Sambomaster was having a concert next door at the Open-Air Concert Hall, so lots of modern-dressed people were passing by.
- The weird kimono girl (also MatsuJun's girlfriend in Imakiyo) was actually wearing contact lenses. Director Inudou didn't notice until he watched the dailies, and they had to erase it through CG.
- The scene where MatsuJun goes to return the magazines to Kashii Yu was not originally in the script. Director Inudou decided to include it so that the surprising turn of events in the end would be more convincing.
- Leader's letter to Nino at the end is in his own handwriting.
This was my first time to listen to an audio commentary from
start to end, for another two hours (only for Arashi would I do this
lol).
p.s. charurei, your new tagline reminded me of something Mr. Nakamura (the pr0n writer/director fanman) wrote, which might convince you to change the = to a >
XD: he got mail from a former pr0n actress, who is known to be a very
troubled person who cuts/slashes herself all over...but! She has become
an Arashi fan through YamaTaro: "...listening to Happiness every week
cheered me up so much, and I've started listening a bit to their other
songs...it's not just their looks; everything about them is cool! It
really is so unexpected of me. I've lost, in a good way, to Arashi."
Sasuga Arashi. He's so surprised because she sounded like a normal, happy girl, and wonders if it is the Arashi effect (me: absolutely --- as dunadan puts it, it's Arashiawase).
Btw Mr. Nakamura and Yoshikazu-chan (the writer fanman) have finally bonded together (took them long enough lol) and are now Arashi blog buddies (like us!).
