I admire arashi which is Japanese idol group. they are unknown to the public at first 10 years. And then because of the drama “boys over flowers”, they became more and more famous. but regardless of how famous they are，they always try their best on work.
Ohno satoshi who is leader of arashi is my favorite member. he is good at singing、dance and art. The reason why I like him is that he always stays low profile，even he is a brilliant artist.
