72 Facts
He speaks English ^^; (or… tries his best to speak English…?)… lately in their variety shows (D no Arashi, G no Arashi) as well as in the educational animal show Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen (Genius! Shimura Zoo), Aiba-chan declares he’s fluent in English… he even speaks it too, but… you be the judge… ^^
2. He has earned various nicknames that relates to the word idol (Super Idol, King of Idols, etc. etc.)
3. He is a HUGE fan of TOKIO, another Johnny’s band. His fandom influenced the rest of the guys to get in to TOKIO too!
4. He is the 3rd member who most likely to appear in TV drama serials and TV drama specials. He hasn’t appeared in dramas for the longest time… but he’s still on TV, of course… just not dramas…
5. He is very skilled and enjoys playing the sax! He’s one of the very musically-inclined members in the group along with Nino, who plays the guitar! Last time I heard, he pretty much quit the sax due to lung problems…
6. His least favourite season of the year is spring because he’s allergic to pollen.
7. His family owns a Chinese restaurant named Keikarou in his hometown somewhere in the Chiba Prefecture.
8. He hopes to have a younger sister as well…
9. He has a very huge, visible, noticeable birthmark on his left shoulder.
10. Aiba-chan joined Johnny’s Jimusho for two “interesting” reasons:
1) he is a huge Ken Miyake fan
2) he has a huge obsession with basketball and saw these Johnny’s idols playing basketball in one of the Johnny’s shows shown on TV and thought that he’d get to play basketball in public if he joined, so he signed up and sent in an application to join Johnny’s, not to become an idol, but probably to use it as a ticket to playing basketball with SMAP
11. He is also the only one among the members who calls fellow member Sho Sakurai the nickname Sho-chan!
12. Sometime in early Spring 2002, Aiba-chan collapsed during a rehearsal of a performance for their single Nice-na Kokoroiki. It turned out that he was suffering from a disease known as pneumothorax - a collapse of one of the lungs due to a huge change in the internal pressure in the chest cavity, caused by some sort of trauma or spontaneous lung rapture. Symptoms include shortness of breath and severe, one-sided (affected side) chest pain on inhalation. This disease is VERY common among young guys who are both hyperactive yet skinny at the same time and it IS a curable disease! It is also a one-time thing as well, and because of that, Aiba-chan learned his lesson and decided to “buff” himself up a bit.
13. During high school, he joined his high school basketball team because he got along “too well” with the people in his school’s baseball and soccer team and felt scared/nervous
14. According to one of Aiba-chan’s interviews, the most bizarre gift that he ever received on his 20th birthday was a walking stick, given to him by none other than his own leader, Ohno Satoshi!
15. Aiba tends to skip from topics to topics randomly during interviews and apparently
16. during their concert MCs or talks, he can also go out of topics sometimes.
17. After he starts drinking, he would start taking off his shirt and run around. Sho mention about it before.
18. During concerts, Aiba will sing even when it’s not his turn to sing… he loves to sing along to the entire song! :P
19. he sleeps with a soft toy. Last time in Hawaii 2002 was this erm brown/black doggie/bear?
20. Sho said that Aiba is the most horny. But he continued to say that he can’t say the reason why so as to protect Aiba’s reputation. But it’s funny how when Sho said Aiba is the most horny, every other members said that Sho is the most horny instead. It’s funny how Aiba always say perverted stuff suddenly out of the blue. Like during the Mago episode where he was comparing himself to the radish and so. Or when they were going to the Mago boating camp and while on the bus, he was talking about the bananas that Ohno had bought for them.
21. Aiba follows Sho even in his dreams. Sho is talks in his sleep about Aiba. Once saying “Let Aiba sleep!” The other time he said in his sleep to Ohno that he should go and wake Aiba instead.
22. halfway watching movie “I am Sam”, he left the cinema because the story was too tragic, Sho said he’s the ‘emotional type’
23. he eats the most among all the members, can’t stop eating between meals (according to Sho), eats two bentos a day (according to Jun), after having a sushi meal with one of the Tokio members, he still ordered a large set meal (according to Ohno)

25. kept urging Dohmoto Tsuyoshi to teach him guitar (Nino despised him perhaps?)
26. Nino: When we went for dinner after movie shooting, Sho and Jun’s table was clean after the meal, Aiba and Ohno’s table was terrible
Aiba: this is how a man eats
27. before their concert started, he asked Ohno to write the kanji Arashi for him on the arm, but because he kept sweating, only the ‘yama’ on the top was visible. Nino realised it and told him about it. Ohno said he’ll write it again for Aiba, but Jun scolded him instead: “if you’re so free, why don’t you just get your butt on the stage?!”
28. Nino said he’ll always memorise his line before movie shooting starts, but Sho says Aiba memorises his lines AFTER shooting… (what the….?!)
29. everyone agrees that it is impossible for Aiba to accomplish two things at the same time
30. according to the card readings, he’s the ‘playboy type’…
31. during KKK concert, he has a draught paper to remember his placing for their dance, and will check it everytime they go in and change. But it fell on the stage, and the choreographer scolded him
Sho: not only during changing time, he’ll also peek into the paper on stage!
32. there was once he had a phone call with Yokoyama in a very sleepy condition, when he woke up he didn’t remember the conversation so he called Yokoyama again. That’s why Yokoyama says he’s like a kid

34. he ate more lately, and is able to finish 3 McDonald set meals in the morning. He still says he’s 53 kg, Ohno who gets fat easily is very suspicious about this
