[ARASHI] Don't stop the Circus ★ thread #27!

^yup you have it right XD Masaki, Kazunari and Satoshi are their given or 'first' names.
I get mixed up sometimes too with Japanese names XD

like for MatsuJun , Matsumoto is a very common surname in Japan & obviously Jun is his name

Sakurai Sho - Sho is his name while Sakurai is his surname

for me , I called/acknowledge everyone based on their surnames . It's a habit really , that goes for KAT-TUN too

if I start calling Ohno by his given name Satoshi , it will be really odd to me

oh okay! but to me, i don't feel like their first names sound like first names, you know? ohno, aiba, and nino sound more like first names rather than last names to me so it's confusing. i feel more comfortable calling them by their last names, then, lol. thank you for your reply!

and those first day sales are just what i wanted! love it! by looking at that chart you posted, karen, it's incredible how they can outsell their past album sales in just one day!
