Arashi's managers meeting:Band manager: Well, did you do the survey as we agreed?
Managers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: Yes.
Band manager: And?
Manager 2 (scratching his head): Nothing. No satisfactory result...
Band manager: How comes?
Manager 5: We asked all the Arashi fans we know...
Manager 1: As you say we kept it low profile...
Manager 5: and the results don't help us really...
Band manager: Elaborate please.
Manager 2 (holding a big sheet of paper with graphics on it): Well... Look at it yourself: Juntoshi fans 24, Yamapair fans 24, Sakumoto 24. It's a tie!!
Manager 3: It seems that we will only have janken pon left to decide this...
Manager 4: We are Arashi managers, we can't do that. We are professionals. There has to be another way...
Band manager (holding the bridge of her nose): Did you ask different people about this?
Managers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: No.
Band manager: How in hell you did it?
Manager 1: We got the staff we usually work with, invite them to coffee and asked them with cameo they would prefer as you said.
Band manager (eyeing them warily): I should have done it myself.
Manager 5: What do we do then?
Band manager: Tell the guys at Fuji TV that the three have to appear in the same drama, we don't care which one.
Manager 1: Aye sir.
Fuji TV writers room:writer 1 (pulling his hair desperately): There is no way this will look flawless!! Too many characters to fit in for a cameo! They don't know what they are asking from us!!
female writer 2 (over-excited): I got it, I got it!
writer 1 (eyeing her cautiosly): how?
female writer 2 (dreaming kind of look in her face): Imagine: Ohno san's character is walking down the street and sees a great limousine parked at the side of the road. The glass from the back seat lowers and Kageyama invites him in. Ohno san's character accepts. After a while, as the limousine has been parked there for a while, Matsujun's detective who was having a coffee break nearby gets suspicious, walks to it and knocks on the back seat glass. Ohno san and Sakurai san, lower the glass, looking dishevelled and with grins on their faces invite him in.
writer 1 (exasperated): You've been writing fics again, haven't you?
female writer 2 (blushing): maybe?
48 hours later:writer 101: I got it!
writer 1 (almost dead): Yes?
writer 101: The main thing is that they share a scene right?
all writers nod.
writer 101: Ohno san's character is being questioned about the abduction by the detective in charge of the case. They are in the police precint and Matsujun's detective walks in and says 'How it is going?' as he walks to his desk/office, and Ohno san looks his way. Bingo! You get them in the same scene.
writer 101 (contin.): And when Ohno san leaves the police station and walks down the street he and Sakurai san's Kageyama pass each other while Kageyama is in his way to have his tea and they exchange looks.
writer 1: Fans are gonna kill us...
female writer 2: So, can we think in the sakumoto cameo in Nazodi already???
**note: Hope you get the irony...
