Why?

Well....
Here's a hint:
 




1.

2. BIRTHDAY CAKE :D

Got it?
Yes, that's right, it's...
NINOMIYA KAZUNARI'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! *cue massive orchestra performance of Happy Birthday :D*
My beloved Arashi ichiban is 26 *cough* I mean, 17! (for the 257759035786th time :D)

 Oh, Nino; where should I start describing the many wonderful quirky qualities that make you, you? Hmm... let's start from the outer appearnace in; shall we? Er... if you honestly don't know who Ninomiya Kazunari is, you could check his Wiki, or just Google him. He's got a large enough fanbase for that to be possible. :) However, if you're the lazy sort, then here's a seriously compact version.
Ninomiya Kazunari (or Nino as his bandmates + the rest of the world like to call him) belongs in the super-duper-famous Japanese idol group called ARASHI. He's known as the group's resident gamer (as you will see below..) and, more recently, magician. Besides Matsumoto Jun, Nino's the only other member in Arashi who most frequently acts (but, well, that's according to me 8D *bricked*)

Nino is also known to his fans as being impossibly cute but incredibly bratty. He's like everyone's favourite younger brother that you want to marry!

So that's the compact version of Nino. To get into detail, we must first discuss his Adorable Face (yes, the words must be capitalized because his face is just that AWESOME.)

Entitled: The Many Faces of Neener er- Nino.

Let's start with one of Nino's trademark faces.


Yes

He does it a lot. It's the "Heh, call me anytime" or "Heh, I'm so much better than you" face. 8D Another face that he does often (though not as often as the above face) is this:

What it means: PWNAGE. Nino is not always so 'bright'. He can have rather serious faces. Like this one:

LOL NINO. (and Aiba! he looks like a foreigner/semi-girl? XD) *cough* sorry, I meant this:

and

this one. (whoa, the cutest face of utmost concentration ever!... and only when he's playing his beloved games 8D)
Sometimes, Nino can be downright depressed.


No one ever likes it when Nino cries. I mean look at that? That's the saddest face ever. D:

Aww.. *weeps* of course I'd forgive you...!

No! Stop crying dammit! My heart breaks everytime.. D': (on a sidenote.. Chibi!Nino, why so cute?)

Guh... *picking up al the heart pieces on the floor* (btw, this scene is from Ryusei no Kizuna, one of the AWESOMEST dramas evar! Watch it! and get sucked into the Ninoness)
Thankfully, Nino doesn't have Sad!Face on all the time. He has super fun insanely crazy faces too!


Like this one. It's an ultra famous face; but too epic not to post about. :) The transitions Nino has from one face to another can be very quick. First he's like this:

Aww.... so innocent.. And then he's like this:

"I'M GONNA EAT YOU!!! RAWRZ." Fast, indeed.

Here's a random sleeping Nino. *cue awwww's* Well... that's as many faces as I can show here.. (if I put them all in, this post would split into 3 gazillion posts!) Besides. Nino's satisfied.

If Nino's satisfied, I'm satisfied! 8D btw, did you notice that Nino's face looks incredibly like a dog's?



... No?
How about...






these? Now are you convinced? If you still aren't, here's a song to further implement the idea that Nino = puppy. :D
Koinu by GReeeeN

The Translations (taken off Anime Lyrics dot Com)
One fine, sunny afternoon,
while on the street corner playing with flowers and grass
and bugs and birds, I met you
You found me and kindly stroked my head
And then you said to me in a gentle voice, "Let's go home."

* Up till now, I have walked with my head hung low
In freezing winds, even my heart felt cold
But from now on, I'll walk by your side
Because you said to me, "We're friends."

** We're always together, no matter where
We have had many days like that; you gave them to me It would be so nice, yeah?
If this dream-like time were to continue forever...

On sunny days, we always play at the park
I fetched the ball that you threw and rushed back to you while holding it in my mouth.
You hugged me and kindly stroked my head
I'm so, so happy that the memories of us together grew so much in number.

* Repeat
** Repeat

A strong wind was blowing, it was raining, thunder was roaring
I started thinking, "I want to cry, I want to see you~"
And before I knew it, already, there was your chest as you held me, soaked, in your arms

That day, we gazed at my house which I loved so much; it was broken
But you made me a new one right away, and then smiled at me.

I don't know how we're able to understand each other, but I love you
It would be so nice, yeah?
If this happiness of ours were to continue through to tomorrow and the next day and the next, forever...
 
** Repeat

One fine, sunny afternoon, in the house that you made for me at the corner of the garden,
I sat, waiting for you to come home.

Cute lyrics, right~  



Yes, Nino, we know; you're the best!

I'm so sorry, f-list, for writing such a long post. ): lj-cut just wouldn't work for me..
*sigh*

Nino-chan, thank you so much for the wonderful, entertaining things you've given us fans, be it a concert, a talk show, a radioshow; you've always given it your best. And us fans truly, honestly thank you for doing that! :) Stay healthy and happy with all of Arashi for us! :D In short,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NINO-CHAN~~~~~!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ x a trillion!
