chii loves ohno

Duet July 2009 – Monthly Arashi ver.165
Ohno Satoshi with Chinen Yuri


One afternoon, Chinen arrived at a place where it’ll become a special place with expression so complicated filled with joy and tension. Look as if he was restless the whole time even in the dressing room. 5 minutes later, Ohno kun entered the studio calmly. With the shy Senpai and overly excited kohai, these twos’ interview ended up so awkward that even the people watching them were brushing. Anyways, here’s the interview!


Ohno: We had a plan like this before but it’s our first time interviewing together.

Chinen: Yes, it was a separate interview the last time… (glancing at Ohno besides him) I’m very nervous right now. When I heard I was going to be interviewed with Ohno kun, I was surprised… I bragged about it to Yama chan (Yamada Ryosuke) and (Nakajima) Yuto kun at school today (laughs)

Ohno: It’s strange that there’s a kohai who thinks of me this way. What’s so good about me? (laughs)

Chinen: The gap between the usual (ohno) in variety shows and when you’re singing and dancing.

Ohno: Fufu (laughs) The first time we met was at a concert…. Was it Nagoya?

Chinen: Yes. That was when I was still living in Shizuoka and I went to Arashi’s concert in Nagoya with my mother. Before that, I happened to meet (Matsumoto) Jun kun and when I said “I’m going to your concert soon!” he invited me saying “then, come over to our dressing room”

Ohno: Ah~, it was like that!?

Chinen: I was very nervous then too (laughs)

Ohno: You left in between too, right?

Chinen: Left? Ah~, I was still living in Shizuoka…. I was only living in Tokyo during filming of “Hattori kun” (NINxNIN Ninja Hattori kun THE MOVIE) and I did some magazine shoots at that time. I went back to Shizuoka when the movie ended.

Ohno: I see. You only joined the agency not soon after, right?

Chinen: Yes, I was in 4th grade.

Ohno: I heard “Jr.’s Chinen kun is Ohno kun’s fan” from the make-up staff so, you were on my mind. I thought you quit when I didn’t see you for a while (laughs). When Hey!Say!JUMP came up…. I was surprised you were like a whole another person! (Places his hand about to his hip) I thought you were this small but you’ve gotten big (laughs).

Chinen: When I went to see Arashi’s “Time” tour…

Ohno: Ah, that’s right. We met in the hall way.

Chinen: You said “weren’t you this small” and I said “I’m not that small~”

Ohno: That’s it. How tall are you now?

Chinen: 156cm. My goal is 168cm, 1cm more than Ohno kun’s height (laughs)

Ohno: Make it 167cm, the same as me (laughs).

Chinen: Then, I’ll do that (laughs)

Ohno: I guess today is since then?

Chinen: We’ve (met) once in a while on music shows and countdowns.

Ohno: Oh yeah (laughs)

Chinen: I was waving to you the whole time during the countdown.

Ohno: Oh yeah, that’s right! You were watching from the sides because you couldn’t get on since it was late at night. I remember waving back when I saw you (laughs).

Chinen: (Smiles)

Ohno: I showed you this earlier but I have Chinen kun sticker on my cell phone (laughs) The duet ones.

Chinen: I heard that Ohno kun has it on from many people (laughs). It was even on a magazine and my mother who read that, informed me about it. I thought about getting a sticker of Ohno kun on my belongings too. Maybe I’ll go to school with Ohno kun’s uchiwa on my school bag (laughs).

Ohno: I don’t think you should (laughs).

Chinen: I saw the national DVD (ARASHI AROUND ASIA 2008 in TOKYO) the other day! I happened to be with the other members in a magazine shoot when I got my DVD and I felt someone was going to open it so I was protecting it for my dear life, not to let anyone touch it. I wasn’t able to go see the national tour.

Ohno: You didn’t!?

Chinen: I’ll definitely go this year!! Is there something on 10th anniversary? I think there’ll definitely be something.

Ohno: I don’t know either (laughs).

Chinen: (laughs). The first thing I thought watching the DVD was how amazed I was that you were able to gather that may people. Next was, how cool Ohno kun’s solo was of course!

Ohno: Eh!? What did I sing? (laughs)

Chinen: “Take me faraway”

Ohno: Oh yeah. Ballade one, right?

Chinen: The dance using the chair was really cool.

Ohno: Ah, that one! There were many people in national and I was embarrassed how close the audiences were.

Chinen: I feel nervous during concerts too.

Ohno: Do you like being in front of people?

Chinen: I do but… I’m don’t like talking in front of people. I’m fine with radio though. It’s when
I’m being watched by many people…

Ohno: It’s awful (laughs). I’ve been doing this for 15 years and I felt I still don’t like it at national (laughs)

Chinen: I like “TOP SECRET (2004 “Iza, now” tour) the most. When I saw that in Nagoya, I was stunned! The dance was so cool. All the Jrs were all copying you.

Ohno: I can’t do that anymore though. I have zero physical strength (laughs). Did Chinen kun do any dancing or something?

Chinen: Jazz dance. I did jazz dancing in Shizuoka the whole time I disappeared (laughs)

Ohno: That explains it!

Chinen: I was looking forward to dancing in the back for Arashi when I was able to back dance for Senpai but hardly any opportunity came up… I still want to dance for Arashi’s back.

Ohno: Isn’t that impossible? You’re Hey!Say!JUMP now (laughs)

Chinen: I want to!! I might also be thinking about wanting to guest appear for “Arashi’s
Shukudai kun” When I was doing the drama (Scrap Teacher)…. But, I couldn’t.

Ohno: (laughs)

Chinen: I was happy when Ninomiya kun or someone else said “Maybe there’s Hey!Say!JUMP inside” once during the opening when the guest is inside the box (laughs). I wish we were actually in the box…. But I want to be (dance) in the back the most!

Ohno: Like I said, it’s not possible.

Chinen: I want to dance Arashi’s song together.

Ohno: Is there a song you know the dance to?

Chinen: ( shakes his head)

Ohno: You don’t? (laughs) Wait, does that mean Hey!Say!JUMP will dance for Arashi’s back?

Chinen: Just me.

Ohno: …. There are 5 people from Arashi with one in the back? (laughs)

Chinen: I can fit in between Tatsumi (Yudai) kun or other M.A.D

Ohno: Ah~ that’s what you mean (laughs). You’re a high school now, right!? Are you going to school?

Chinen: Yes, I went today. I haven’t left early or came in late or missed a day yet since I entered high school.

Ohno: That’s amazing… I left high school after the 3rd day (laughs).

Chinen: (laughs).

Ohno: Does Chinen kun have a girlfriend?

Chinen: I don’t.

Ohno: Ah, I see (laughs). Then, do you want to go fishing with me someday? It’ll be sea fishing though.

Chinen: Yes!

Ohno: But I’m a little worried, the ocean is dangerous.

Chinen: I pretty confident that I’ll be pulled in by the fish (laughs). Maybe I’ll even fall into the
ocean… I’ve never been on a boat before and I might become sea sick.

Ohno: If we were to go, we should go to a 4 hour one like I went with Sho kun. It’ll be great if you don’t get sea sick.

Chinen: What do you usually do besides fishing?

Ohno: I had 2~3 days off the other day and I couldn’t go fishing because my schedule didn’t fit with my fishing friends’. That’s why I made some figure after a long time. But I messed up and that made me feel like I never wanted to do it again (laughs). What do you usually play?

Chinen: I don’t go outside very much.

Ohno: Really!? I’m usually around somewhere close to Chinen kun’s house.

Chinen: My friend said they saw Ohno kun and Ninomiya kun in the neighborhood once (laughs).

Ohno: Eh? I never been there with Nino before…. I’m usually walking around alone. If were to go, I’ll take to you to my favorite general store. I can also deliver you some fish to your house (laughs)…. Chinen kun, looking at you this closely, your eyelashes are pretty long.

Chinen: I get that a lot (laughs)

Ohno: That’s what I’ve been thinking the whole time. The only thing I thought, interviewing with you.

Chinen: (laughs).

Ohno: Then, let’s ride on a boat at a near-by park!

Chinen: Ok!

Ohno: Just ride on the boat since it says No Fishing Allowed (laughs). A walk is good too!

Chinen: Got it! Thank you very much for today. As we talked like this, I was nervous this whoe time…. I wonder when I won’t be so nervous (laughs)

Ohno: Really, you don’t have to nervous anymore (laughs).


The nerve lacking-clam talk between Chinen, who was nervous from start to finish, and Ohno, who even had a time to study his eye lashes, has ended. They’ve made a promise to go out so…. Maybe you’ll see these two riding on a boat together in a park one day!?
