Three of my favorite people are celebrating their birthday this month so here’s why I like them, what I’d give them and what I’d wish for them:

Kazunari Ninomiya
Birthday: June 17
Age: 31
Profile: Arashi’s resident brat and No. 1 troll, calls himself “Hollywood Sturr” and “Clint Eastwood’s friend” (both true by the way), known for his “hamburger hands”, plays the piano and guitar, the group’s occasional songwriter (he composed Sketch–together with Sakurai Sho–and Fight Song, also most of his solos), also called “sexual powerhouse” thanks to some tabloid rumors (troll Arashi fans and they’ll troll you back; like Nino, like fans), forever 17.
What I’d give him as a gift: I’d treat him to dinner and pay of course, and make it 365 days coz he’d appreciate free dinner very much especially since he claims he does not bring his wallet to work knowing there are four others who can pay for him (how cunning). If I could, I’d also pay his income tax since that’s the reason he gave for being stingy. But if I were Matsumoto Jun, I’d give him 31 pieces of the gift of his choice so he’d stop complaining over how J only gave him a book card when he turned 21.
My wish for him: More projects so he doesn’t have to be insecure about paying next year’s tax. More recognition for his acting (another Hollywood film perhaps?). And a girl that would understand his personality and leave him alone to play his video games. And yes, preferably, someone who’s rich.

Jung Yonghwa
Birthday: June 22
Age: 25
Profile: CNBLUE’s very charismatic leader, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist; dark, sexy metal; the group’s “best dancer” and sought-after actor (even though they always pin him down for his drama’s low ratings, yet, the offers “keep on coming”), Mr Fan Service (he’d take anything you shove into his face and eat them on the spot if it’s food though I wish he’d be more careful… you never know with crazy fans), one of South Korea’s more prolific composers.
What I’d give him as a gift: He’s rich and unlike Nino, is not scared to spend his money so I won’t give him anything material; just some respectable space so he can walk properly at airports without people taking photos of him at such close range or stalk him when he walks to work; and a break from uber delusional fans, frogs and rootcrops.
My wish for him: Personal happiness and more inspiration so he can compose more music that will take his band to the top of the world.

Kang Minhyuk
Birthday: June 28
Age: 23
Profile: CNBLUE’s adorable drummer, often referred to as the mother hen of the group, clean freak, talented in language, is into extreme pursuits like flower arrangement and biking, the group’s sunshine.
What I’d give him as a gift: Dance lessons? Or season tickets to baseball games. Or a personalized baseball bat or drum sticks (I’m sure he got a lot of the latter).
My wish for him: More confidence to compose his own music (I love Sweet Holiday).

お誕生日おめでとうございます, Kazu!
생일 축하, Yongyong and Minhyuk!
