flytotheworldI promise I like other Arashi members besides Matsujun D; This one was just a quick translation I did last night while I was super bored. You'll forgive me for taking some artistic liberty with this one, some things were surprisingly confusing :x especially that last sentence, it made no sense but I'm sick of staring at it
Matsumoto Jun of Arashi's "My NEW Standard"
We often see Matsumoto Jun of the popular group, Arashi, appearing in the media in in-season fashionable clothes, but this time we had him show off lively tailored jacket styles. But even though he dressed up in the clothes provided him without hesitation, his personal style is first and foremost surprisingly casual.
"The things I liked back in the day I still like even now, so I'm not wasting time looking because I don't have to"
"I basically have a lot of rough, casual clothing."
In the interview following the photoshoot, these words flew from his mouth. Whether on stage, in magazines or on TV, the Matsumoto Jun we see is 'dressed up.'3 Although he's always high class, he had unexpected things to say about his normal clothes.
"My clothes are only those which fit my tastes. Having people look at me is my job, so I have to be aware of my clothing; I've known that since back in the day. Of course I'm always aware of TPO1, but rather than tossing on formal clothes, I would rather wear clothes with a looser, more American-type of feel."
Since the beginning of his life, he's shopped for clothes by himself, and even before entering Johnny's in 6th grade, he wore a red Blaison-style windbreaker*. So this time we dressed up the Matsumoto who buys a lot of clothing but prefers simple- and rough-styled clothing.
"There's this image in the media of me on the street on their private time all dressed up. That doesn't mean I haven't been buying clothes lately -- I have a lot of things I've bought but just haven't worn. With a lot of simple things, it's become a more simple style."
So, that doesn't mean he necessarily has a passion or huge interest in fashion but even now, it looks as though he's checking runway photos in magazines without fail. He gets a sense of fashion trends from phone calls with friends and flipping through fashion magazines. His fashion and self are at odds but he seems to have definitively and maturely captured 'my standard'.3
"I do like fashion, but when I go to shops, I've pretty much already decided to go to the places that 'absolutely will not let me down.' My routine lately has been T-shirts and jeans and if it's winter, then I match it with a knit sweater or something. On my feet I wear sneakers or flip-flops4 and other types of sandals in summer, which I have a lot of. I have a lot of older clothes which I can wear fairly often. The things I liked back in the day I still like now, and so I'm not wasting time searching; I don't really need people giving me anything. I'm still wearing jeans I wore back in high school!"
The super flashy 'top idol'3 Matsumoto Jun in reality seems to have a surprisingly steady type of fashion. While he's familiar with dressing fashionably, he likes only the things he likes and so from that stance, being a fashionable-looking man is something that can only be learned through observation. In order to become fashionable, by associating with fashionable people, those hints will reveal themselves.
* 1. Time Place and Occasion. I had to look it up, too. We both learned something today!
* 2. no idea who/what this is. I like lookin fly as much as the next person, but I've got nothin on who this is and googling in English and Japanese doesn't yield any results :\ At least ones that aren't related to U-Boats.
* 3. in katakana, gets quotes.
* 4. Jun's got his flippy-floppies! Which in Japanese are called b-sandals. The more we know! *star flies by*

Blurbs about the clothes! They're in the order I posted them from left to right
Jauntily-dressed Dandyism
Dior Homme's glamorous three-piece is traditionally striped. When flavoured with a raw type of hat, bowtie and studded belt, this youthful and dandy look can be a lot of fun. Jacket is ￥239,400, vest is ￥65,100, shirt is ￥52,500, pants are ￥70,530, necktie is ￥69,300 (all by Dior Homme), bowtie is ￥6,300 (Wacko Maria), studded belt is ￥33,600 (Wendy's & Foot the Coacher), sneakers are ￥27,300 (Visvim).
Smart, modern preppy
In a school jacket, this perfectly styled look is overflowing with youth. When coordinated around hard silver accessories, the old-school feeling disappears. Jacket is ￥66,150 (Visvim), shirt is priced at ￥30,000, tie is priced at ￥16,000 (both by Band of Outsiders), pants are ￥115,500 (The Viridi-Anne), belt is ￥33,600 (Wendy's & Foot the Coacher), wallet chain is ￥147,000 (Rust Made in England)
Modern Cutting Sense
Yves Saint Laurent brings about this sharp and cutting current look with a sort of classical scent to it. The alotted volume of the tops and bottoms are the key points. The jacket is ￥257,250, the blazer is ￥456,750, the pants are reference goods*, leggings are ￥144,900, belt is ￥94,500 (all by Yves Saint Laurent). Shirt is ￥27,300 (Kitsune), ring is ￥223,650 (Rust Made in England)
A Decorative Look is the Clear Winner?
This light blue peaked label has a strong character, and with a checkered shirt, pants, and accessories make this ornamental look more refined. Jacket is ￥67,200 (Wacko Maria), shirt is ￥34,000, pants are ￥81,000, tie is ￥16,000 (all by Band of Outsiders), eyewear is ￥23,000 (Moscot), necklace is ￥136,500 (Rust Made in England), belt is ￥33,600 (Wendy's & Foot the Coacher), wristband is ￥33,600 (Foot the Coahcer), ring is ￥102,900 (End).
