I like the song Kaze No Mukou E look forward to the release of this song.

i think "truth" is the perfect opening song to MAOU (which is an AWESOME drama by the way, riida rocks his role :] )
but separate from Maou, it's a nice song and it's catchy. i keep listening to it.. what a creepy song XDD "I Take Your Life Forever... You Take My Life."

nino will be in a new drama with ryo nishikido (NEWS/Kanjani8) and erika toda.

it'll air at 10pm, every friday, on TBS in the autumn.

^ thanks for the info!

i just found out about this a few minutes ago and was JUST wondering if i could find some more info on it. LOL. OOH~ a new arashi single ^ ^ can't wait. that's a pretty nice cast. i've been wanting to see nino in more dramas, and ryo's first role after last friends.... and toda erika is always cool ^ ^ & the plot sounds very interesting... don't know if i can wait until fall =_=

"truth/Kaze no Mukou e" covers:

http://tenjostyle.vox.com/library/post/tru...oue-covers.html

OMG! I just read this!!!

http://myfirstgossipblog.blogspot.com/2008...os-scandal.html



I love Ohno!!! there are more pics on the blog with more information, but basically, Ohno was caught smoking pot. Imagine this! Uchi and Kusano were kicked out for DRINKING. What would happen to Ohno for smoking POT?!

---edit: well, i'm fine with ohno with the girls, he's a guy. but as for the pot, it's just a rumor right? i can't read japanese, so i'm assuming that this is a gossip magazine. well, sorry if i jumped on this, but i was just quite shocked that something like this would be published!

^ there's NO definite proof that ohno was smoking pot. please edit your post, i don't want someone to come in here and be misled when reading your post =_=;; there is only speculation that he was smoking pot... really, when i read about this i started laughing. i mean... REALLY? XD

truthfully, those pictures don't show ohno ANYWHERE with a joint or smoking anything. to me, those pictures are of him having a night out, drinking with a couple of girls on his arms. although i can totally see why the gossip columns would SAY he's high (he looks so out of it =_=), seriously, half the time we see ohno, he looks just as out of whack, that's just riida being riida. so i feel those rumors and this ridiculous "scandal" are totally UNJUSTIFIED. they took some OLD ASS pictures from 2005 showing Ohno drunk, and they're trying to blow it up into a huge scandal because ohno is gaining popularity from the Maou drama. what a bunch of crap ^=__=

so NO, OHNO WAS NOT CAUGHT SMOKING POT O__O it's only a rumor based off some old pictures of riida partying

i'm not saying that he WASN'T smoking pot at that party in those pics... (anyways, it's kind of hard to PROVE he was drugging himself that night when 3 years have passed... unless he's been getting high recently which i SO TOTALLY HIGHLY DOUBT. he's busy enough as it is =_=) and i'm not saying it was right of Ohno to take those kinds of pictures (these darn JE boys should know better than to take pics of their partying.. when will they learn??) i'm just saying they have no proof and the goosip mags are basing their "information" off of stupid personal pictures and the accounts of two sleazy girls. so if you want to believe go ahead, but really... REALLY. COME ON =_=;;

and besides, all JE boys are GUYS, guys like girls... they like when girls are willing to hang themselves over their arms. ohno looks way too happy =_= ( which could be a combo of alcohol or even drugs, we'll never know) i don't think it's much of our business to know if they're partying hard, or who they're sleeping with. whoever took those pics just HAPPENED to release them right when ohno was getting a break. PFFTTT. how sleazy.

and so far, i don't believe Johnny has really reacted much to this 'story' , all Arashi activites are scheduled to continue, and the "suspicious" cancellation of their VS ARASHI show recording was scheduled way before this scandal broke. so no worries, arashi fans! this will blow over soon, didn't this kind of thing happen to sho when he got coverage over yatterman and such? they just HAVE to try and bring them down =_=

the antis are making their opinions and voices heard to the various sponsors and etc, asking to pull Ohno and Arashi out. It is now time for US to show OUR support for our boys.

Ohno is apparently being pulled out of AU ads coz the antis messages are being heard.
We need our voices of support to be heard as well!

Write in your messages to support the boys.
There is no need to be defensive nor bean pie to the sponsors and etc.
Make it polite and positive - such as you enjoy the products and having Arashi working on it is also good for you.

BTW, please try not to talk about the scandal in your message. Just write about how you like Arashi promoting the products, doing the shows and etc.

From the Music Lovers recording, Riida apologized but said both rumors were false (the pot and the 3some). He was with the girls (as you can see from photos) but that's all.

The show airs on 8/17 but i doubt we'll see the apology part.

The tabloid in Japan are worse than US and UK.

support ohno and arashi! i hope all of this will be cleared soon.

OMG! I love this band! My favorite band ever!!!! <3 ^^ My fave song from them: Happiness or Sakura Sake

Arigatou Gozaimasu for making a thread for them! ^^

"truth" PV preview!

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=QJH47-dlDTA

^ when i saw the preview, nearly went crazy. it looks hot... and love the orch in the background! from the tiny clips, it seems like the dance is infinitely better than one love (altho i think any dance would trump one love's hand motions =__=;;;) so can't wait for the full pv, they look devilishly hot in their black & red ^ ^

haha yea, one love's dancing was just a bit too...cute? for me, lol. the dancing in truth, so far, is hot! and i just loove their black and red outfits too! i hope the PV airs next week because i'm desperate to see it in full and HQ!

^
oh me too! Me too! I can't wait until the PV airs.
I love the song. It's soooooo catchy [:

I'm really excited for the PV 8D the orchestra in the bg is an awesome touch.

I was reminded a lot of NEWS's Taiyou no Namida PV.

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6311834EzG3Ww7P

I don't really care if it's similiar, cuz i LOVED the TnN PV and both of them are for a dark movie/drama, but yea. just something i noticed (:

Arashi! I love their new song One Love for Hana Yori Dango Final.

I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS AN ARASHI THREAD HERE
AHH
<3
most favorite Japanese band EVER

my favorite member is Ninomiya Kazunari (;
loved loved loved him in Letters From Iwo Jima.

i love how theyre all sorta oldish now.. but still look so young! <3

Kaze no Mukou e PV preview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TdwlWfqGSk

truth pv hasn't been released yet. what's up with that.
but the previews were shown.

truth has already aired, and kaze no mukou e will be airing on august 9th.

truth @ utaban: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xeoZ0SFT7M

^ omg, i'm so excited to see it, it's DLing right now T__T and the PV!!!! lives up to the preview we saw. i think i love their outfits most XD that dangerous red~ ooh. :] i think i'm just happy they're (hopefully) dropping one love performances for the time being =__=;;

^ Ohh me too. [:
I'm so lskjdlkjdfklhg right about now.

truth PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AXg2TwRIjs
kaze no mukou e PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3bXxmXrLzQ

^ omg AGAIN. truth PV and then kaze PV too...
it wasn't as BAM SEXY & dramatic as the truth PV, it's actually like the opposite of it XD light, white & uplifting. but anyways, sho and his skinny legs (CUTE SAKURAP, SAKURAP!! YAY) :] love those pants ^ ^ and jun's shawl thing ( which was actually a part of his vest?! or was it... O_O).. i loved their outfits anyways :] & nino's cool guitar playing is always nice~<3 (BUT OH MY, i couldn't help but laugh at those wind-blowing-in-hair dramatic shots XDDDDD oi vay ^__^) & ohno's crazy high part... love you even more ohno, if that's even possible O_O
watching the PV is the first time i'm listening to the song, i like it~ it's definitely a contrast to truth ( which i think i like more anyways ), but arashi typically has a nice, cheery song to their singles/albums, so i'm glad ^ ^

so many arashi goodies, i'm happy :]

i loooove arashi. to be honest, they are my favorite group whatsoever. they're really easy to love! yeah, like everyone else, i love all the MV's they're coming out with. Also ohno with his new drama. can't wait for that too.

i loooove arashi. to be honest, they are my most favorite group anywhere. they're really easy to love! i really love all the mv's they're releasing. i definitely like the rapping sho does!

i like the mvs.
it seem like ohno sang the whole song for truth.
it's nice. his voice was very deep for it.
their mvs have matured a lot for this year.

i'm so glad you guys love the videos! i love them too. didn't aiba just look GOOD in both PVs, though? his headshots were just amazing, haha. and i never used to find him that attractive until now. same with nino. and sho and his muscles in the "Kaze no Mukou e" PV are even better! lol. so far i've loved everything they released this year, too. their also my #1 favorite JE boyband. their just soo fun.

anyway, a CM for jun's 24 hour terebi drama:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4J6ZCok8ls

very sad. (but he looks really )

I really like their Truth pv XD
they all look super hot and the song is just love

^ and that look really sad TT
Jun is such a great actor
I'd definitely watch it even I will have to cry

I haven't seen the PV for "Kaze no Mukou e", but I did see "Truth". I really like the PV. It's different from their previous cheerful-ish PVs. Anyone else think that the PV kinda reminds you of NEWS's PV for "Taiyou no Namida"? Haha.

you really can't help but love arashi, they're so freaking goofy O_O but wow, aiba was looking curiously HOT in both PVs O_O where did that come from? aiab's supposed to be the goofy crazy one with his A no Arashi corner. what a sexy boy X]] and LOL, i totally noticed sho's muscly arms<3 who wouldn't notice, with his bare arms in that delicious sleeveless thing he was wearing :] fun~
i LOVE the TRUTH song, and i'm glad ohno had a big part in it, since it's his drama the song is the theme song of. (darn, i want to hear toma sing it, he has an amazing voice as well >__< ) but a good song for an even cooler drama~

i can't get over that SEXY red in Truth . argh T__T

I chanced by the Truth MV yesterday and wow. I really like how they incorporated the orchestra instruments; and the song was nice overall ((:http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=107461&st=520&p=10627987&#

BTW, who's the guy at 0:31 in the PV? I'm not too familiar with the members of Arashi, I only know Jun from HYD :X I thought 0:31 guy looked pretty cute XD Thanks in advance!

V yeah! I can see why you like him XD

^



You're referring to this member right? That's Kazunari Ninomiya or just shortened Nino

i never used to like nino, but i love him now, lol. really cute. i sooo cannot wait for his new drama in october.

nino is plain cute =XX oops hehehhee

their Truth PV rocks!!
such a different style and feeling from their usual pop and happygolucky songs

Aiba looks pretty WOW in the PV
<333
Nino.. cute as always <3x100

Arashi!
I miss listening to their music.
I <3 Ohno Sho Nino Matsujun and Aiba!

I like the Olympic song they released. That is why I like watching NTV they use that song for the Olympics. And at the end of this month is 24 HR TV with Arashi as one of the hosts. YAY!

SERIOUSLY? @___@ *SPAZZES*

i love those WINK UP scans! very hott.

I need to get that performance of "truth" now. They are lip-synching right? Sometimes I can't tell. Haha. And whoa at those scans.
