Birthday Surprise For Aiba Masaki at Popcorn Concert

Ninomiya→Aiba

Congratulations on your birthday. We’ve been together for 15 years already. That means I’ve been with you for more than half our lives. How’s that! Aren’t you glad? Seriously speaking, for someone with few friends like me, besides my family, there’s no one else I’ve been with for 15 years. That’s precious to me. It’s important. So…from now on too please take care of me. Congratulations on your birthday.

Matsumoto→Aiba

Since I joined as a Jr., we’ve spent half our lives together. During our Jr. period you were extremely shy but, now you’re brighter than anyone else. Our lives are a lot brighter and more fun because of you. From now on too, let’s have a lot of fun times together. Thank you for everything. Also, from now on please take care of me. Really, congratulations.

Ohno→Aiba

Congratulations on your birthday. Welcome to the adult world. I think nothing really changes in particular though. I started really talking to Aiba-chan after we debuted. A lot of things happened. But, nothing changed about Aiba-chan. It’s good enough to stay the way you are. Next time, a drink in Ginza!

Sakurai→Aiba

Congratulations on your birthday. The first time I exchanged contact information with you was after Arashi was formed. Which birthday was it was what I thought. More than 10 years, thinking about how long we’ve been together makes me feel surprised and happy. After your birthday and in the future, please treat me favorably.

—Popcorn Tour Fan Report, 2012.12.16

Yesterday on Popcorn Concert in Tokyo Dome, they bring Aiba-chan Birthday surprise!!!

Report Arashi Popcorn Live Tour at Tokyo Dome :

During MC Aiba-chan was left in center stage, he did monomane like he did in himitsu no arashi-chan and the rest of them went to main stage. The four of them sang Friendship with red, big gloves! In the middle part, on the screen appeared their messages from each member. The four came out in chinese dresses, with member color (only J was dressed as a chef). They moved on moving stage, had birthday cake. Aiba-chan teared up during the messages, but Aiba-chan burst into laugh when he saw the chinese dresses! During friendship, on the monitor was childhood photos of aibachan and photos of members. Message was shot yesterday. Sho-kun kept on opening his legs, tried showing off his legs, and showing inside his dress. J had chinese cooking pot with him. The setting was chinese food restaurant. A: waiters doesn’t dress like this, and my dad doesn’t dress like that too! my parents aren’t chinese.. He got DVD, cover was gyoza (dumplings) man instead of popcorn man lol. They took photo, Aiba-chan didnt have his camera so J took out his iphone, but cameraman took it for them.

Anyway, I don't want to share any video because the Jimushou will know if we're share it. So, I hope they will including this part on Popcorn DVD. Admin deshita~
