6.      In the group, he and fellow member Sho Sakurai are the closest of best friends. ^_^

7.      According to Nino's close chum Sho Sakurai in an interview, he described Nino as an "unpredictable guy who can get VERY spontaneous." He also stated that Nino used to be a funny and talkative guy but ever since their debut and his huge appearances in TV dramas he had become silent somehow. Sho-kun was even worried about Nino as well

8.      Another skill that Nino possesses other than playing the guitar and baseball is his ability to write his own songs. Nino hoped that maybe one of his songs might be produced and released in one of their future singles/album releases along with the rest of the group.

10.  Joined JE at the same time with Aiba

11.  During the audition day Nino actually had a baseball GAME (that's why Nino did NOT want to miss this day for baseball).  After auditions he eventually went to his baseball game (which started already of course). 

12.  He did not have any passion for performing (singing, dancing, acting, etc.) before he joined Jrs.--- he was always a baseball guy.  But he had good abilities in learning everything on his own, therefore he learned all the performing when he was already in Jrs.

13.  The only reason why his parents signed him up to Johnny's behind his back is because they were paranoid for. They feel that Nino was hanging out with the wrong crowd and were afraid that he'll be a "juvenile delinquent" when he gets older. They thought that being in Johnny's would give him a sense of discipline and stability.  They just wanted what's best for their son after all.  None of them (not even Nino himself) expected that he'll end up going all the way to stardom with Arashi once he was in Jrs.
