One of the strengths of the group is their close relationships with each other and a very balanced popularity between the members. Each member in the group has a strong personality and holds a specific role within their group as well as in the entertainment industry.

=== Satoshi Ohno (Ohno): ===
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* He acted in one of the most successful J-dramas of all time, ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]'', which was one of the main factors that led to Arashi's popularity. He is also heavily credited for luring in 70% of fans into the Arashi fandom through his high-profile drama roles, which includes ''[[Gokusen]]'', ''[[Kimi wa Petto]]'' and ''Bambino'', to name a few.
* He is also the first Japanese male to grace the cover of 'Marie Claire' Japan in 2006, as the tradition before this was to feature international male celebrities.
* Within Arashi, he is heavily involved with their concert management, dealing with stage sets, props, costume sets, and song sets, right down to every detail. He is also dubbed as Arashi's 'idea-man' and has helped create some performance sets such as the 2004 rotating/moving stage, and the suspended wire performance for his 'Yabai Yabai Yabai' solo.
* Outside of Arashi, he is mainly an actor but also serves as an occasional MC (emcee) for various TV shows, such as Utawara and most recently 'Japan's No.1 Show'.

* [[Air Guitar]]: For their TV show, G no Arashi, the band formed an air band with Ohno on air vocals, Jun and Nino on guitar, Sho on drums and Aiba on keyboard. Arashi's performance of Seven Seas of Rye with Ohno dressed as Freddy Mercury is epic! The air-guitarist auditions they held amongst themselves beforehand are also entertaining being primarily an excuse for them to laugh at each other.
* [[Adorkable]]: Yes, all 5 of them. Even Jun, when he drops his cool act in favor of [[Not So Above It All|crazy experiments, minor sports and delicious food.]]
Line 60 ⟶ 58:
* [[Dating Do-Si-Do]]: They are Johnnys. Johnnys are known for dating the same girls, and switching partners as swiftly as changing clothes.
** The Aya suicide scandal that was revealed around Nov 2010 claimed she slept with all of the Arashi members (excluding Sho). They have not acknowledged this scandal until now, preferring to avoid any questions by reporters.
** [http://pics.livejournal.com/johnnyshos/pic/00001ddt/s640x480 The complete Johnny dating chart]{{Dead link}}, featuring all the girls that they have been rumored to.
** An [http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/Aprillis29/ARASHI_DATING_CHART.png update] of the chart above, focusing on Arashi members exclusively.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: There's a reason why the term 'Jun-bait' exist in the fandom. However, all of the members are attractive in their own ways.
Line 69 ⟶ 67:
** Basically, all of G no Arashi. Nipple-exposing t-shirts, leather costumes for their air guitar sessions, white hotpants, surprise groping by tranvestites, humiliating dances, swimming classes, cosplay... the list is endless.
** Let's not forget Jun's (2007) and Sho's (2010).... ''risque'' ANAN photoshoots for the annual 'sex' edition.
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Ohno (Was made the leader after winning a game of rock paper scissors. It is often pointed out that he acts nothing like a leader, he is however the main singer so this is somewhat justified.)
** [[The Lancer]]: Sho (Often does more leaderly-like things in Ohno's place. He acts as the group's MC.)
** [[The Big Guy]]: Aiba (The tallest and strongest member)
** [[The Smart Guy]]: Nino (The [[Trickster]] and [[Deadpan Snarker]] of the group)
** [[The Chick]]: Jun (Always looks after the welfare of the other members)
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]/[[Four
** Sanguine (Optimist): Sho and Aiba
** Choleric (Realist): Nino
Line 83 ⟶ 81:
* [[Food Porn]]: Their variety shows (especially Arashi no Shukudai-kun) feature lots of mouth-watering cuisine.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: After spending the past decade living out of each others pockets the five of them are remarkably close.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Oh so much. Nino enjoys molesting Ohno at any opportunity he gets to the point where Ohno has given up trying to stop him, although he did once refer to Nino as 'the touching man'.
** Ohno and Nino have also repeatedly told everyone they're going out and Ohno ran around stage saying that he wanted to be penetrated by Nino.
** Frankly all of Arashi have been guilty of molesting Ohno and have even managed to work it in to their dance choreography.
** Aiba enjoys showering with the other members, once walking in naked into Nino's shower exclaiming 'Special Delivery.'
** Aiba has also asked Nino to stop wearing flashy underwear as it makes him 'excited'.
** Arashi also have an obsession with each other's nipples forcing each other to wear shirts with holes cut out for them to see.
** By this point every member has kissed every other member.
** Just watch the music video for Kitto Daijoubu.
** And the video for Happiness.
* [[Jerk
* [[Japanese Pop Music|J-Pop]]
* [[Lovable Coward]]: Sho is afraid of heights, but he still seems adorable when freaked out.
Line 101 ⟶ 99:
* [[Megane]]: Jun is short-sighted and is constantly wearing glasses outside of work (though he sometimes sports them during their variety shows). Nino also wears glasses occasionally.
* [[Money Fetish]]: Definitely Nino, who changes his 100 dollar bills into smaller notes just so that his wallet can look thick. Heck, his palm-reading fortune also highlights his love for money!
* [[Older Than They Look]]:
** Nino has been stuck with a 17-year-old face for more than a decade already.
** Ohno looks 25 at best, even though he has reached his thirties.
Line 123 ⟶ 121:
** Sho has had to sit inside a clear helium-filled balloon as it floated to the roof of a school gymnasium, stand on top of another helium-filled balloon (which was secured to the ground) on live television, be suspended by a harness over concert-goers at numerous Arashi concerts or fly over them on high wires, and even skydive. On each occasion Sho has strongly expressed his dislike for each of these tasks.
*** Jun has said on television that while he was standing on the helium-filled balloon with Sho, he gave Sho a nudge which earned Jun an angry retort from Sho. This is note-worthy because Sho is rarely angry on the job and especially not toward fellow Arashi members.
*** To be fair, all the members of Arashi have been doing a lot of high wire work for concerts. Jun even gave Sho the option to walk on stage alone while the other four members fly over the audience. Sho decided his embarrassment at walking on stage alone outweighed his fear of being suspended. However, unlike the other members who will often spin vertically while suspended, Sho will remain still.
** Sho even has trouble with some of the less extreme tasks he's asked to do for TV shows or concerts, like climbing a fake cliff or standing on a rising platform.
* [[Workaholic]]: Initially Jun during Arashi's earlier years (especially around 2005 - 2007), but now it seems like Sho has also caught the workaholic bug.
