He was so cute calling the camera over so he could show them off. He really was precious throughout the whole thing. I had to rewind the part where he was sneezing at Ohno on purpose. It's not nice to share germs, darling. But Leader wasn't even phased by it. Bless him. T-T <3 She actually started watching Hana Yori Dango by herself so I have no idea why it was my fault. Her logic is weird. Good thing we have this thread. You can spaz with us! I love talking with other fans. ^^

Favorite concert moment(s), guys? It doesn't have to be from Arashi Around Asia 2008 in Tokyo. ^^

I was cracking up when Sho sneezed at Ohno XD! & I wonder why Ohno doesn't look bothered by Sho's sneeze. Probably not the first time Sho did that? XD Yeah, it's more fun to spazz with fellow fans! Let's hope the Arashi thread gets livelier~ ^^

My favourite concert moment was actually during WAVE. I love how the boys told the audience to do a 'human wave' thing together~ Shows how much fun one can have during a concert like this<3

5. 'Fight Song' performance in Summer Time 2007 concert in yokohama..hehe....Sho's reaction is so cute...the way he looked so scared...haha..then got SakurAiba moment..haha...plus OhMiya moment...hehe..and more SakuAiba moment...haha..kawaii

hehe basically watching all their concert videos wants me to really watched their concert live...hehe just seeing them hyper i too can go hyper..haha...hope i can go see their live concert one day....

I can't forget how scared Sho was during this perf! XD Fight song is always a fun song to perform live ^^ Yeah, after watching all their concert videos, I really hope I can see them too~

jeniez - I haven't watched Door to Door yet, but your descriptions makes me want to watch it now! Got to prepare extra tissue while watching~ I'm still waiting for the subbed version though ):

You can download both parts here at stormy_team.

If you have a Livejournal and are a member of the onlyarashifiles community, you can find most of them here. If you backlog a page, you will find the link to download Arashi Around Asia 2008 in Tokyo. (:

Haha, exactly. They are probably all used to him being a big dork.


aatash has translated some bits from "Arashi's Fight in Kokuritsu" here.
LOL @ Jun trying to scare the crap out of Sho who is afraid of heights. I thought I heard something about "killing." T-T <3

AAA2008 DVD sold 230,448 copies in its first week. This is MASSIVE, guys! MASSIVE!

The 3rd-best Music DVD first-week sales in all of Japanese music history!!

Their TIME concert DVD released last year sold 150,000 in its first week (current sales: 260,000+).

omg. i freaking &hearts this band! my favorite band memeber has to be no other than riida. he is just too kawaii! wish i could meet them in real life.

Arashi is #1 on Oricon Monthly Chart with 587,554 copies of Believe counted for the month.

Congrats to Arashi. And I read that they broke 600k already...

edit

Yay, new single for Arashi and their sales are massive! But I kind of wished that Arashi would sing the theme song for MatsuJun's Smile drama too- that way, it'll be a double A side single...


yes, that's my channel. It's getting harder and harder to find Arashi's variety shows on YT since a lot of accounts have been suspended so I decided to upload whatever shows I can find on to Veoh. You can call me Jen~ nice to meet you.

i still can't understand why they didn't sing for "Smile" instead but i'm still excited for the new single for sho's drama.

SO PROUD OF THEM! <3 It was an amazing concert. I wish I could afford to buy it now, but I have to buy a $80+ book tomorrow for my class. T-T


(DL) Odoroki no Arashi SP #1, Part 1 (English Subbed)
(DL) Mago Mago Arashi #20 (English Subbed)

Click here for a preview of an upcoming Arashi no Shukudai-kun episode airing April 14th.
Two words: balloon breasts. Thank you, Arashi. I am dying at the size of Ohno's balloon, lmao.

Wow. They sure are on the top now and always.
Cloud 9 for them. So successful at the start of the year.

I think they didn't sing the theme for 'Smile' as well because 'Smile' and 'The Quiz Show' are shown on different TV stations and a Double A-side single for theme songs to two dramas on technically-competing rival TV stations would be a bit tricky...

truth/kaze no mukou e had a tie-in with both TBS and NTV as well, but kaze no mukou e wasn't for a drama, so...and did anyone notice how last year whenever NTV reported about the truth/knme single, they ALWAYS showed the KNME pv instead of the truth one? And at Best Artist last year (an NTV show), they performed the 'no.1 hit of the year' as announced by the host, but it was KNME and not truth. And TBS (which aired Maou) always talked about truth and never KNME.
So it seems the tv stations do mind about these sort of things, not wanting to 'promote' for their rivals?

Pure conjecture on my part, though!

'Smile' seems like the kind of drama which would work well without an Arashi theme song, or it might be 'Let it Be' playing during the cms that has made me think of it as the perfect theme song for the drama, even though it isn't XD

Also, I stumbled across comments somewhere where people were saying stuff like the only reason why Arashi's singles sell so well is because they keep on releasing Double-A-side singles with tie-ins with all the popular dramas/movies/Olympics. So part of me does want to prove them wrong that they can sell well with a single-A-side one too. The new single won't sell as much as Believe/KnK, but it'll probably sell around the level of Beautiful Days, which sold very well too despite having only 2 versions.


SORRY everyone, for my long rambling post!

Hello, my name is Juu. Maybe you guys know me as harumasu from livejournal ^___^
I see my LJ's link is shared here, so I'm interested on joining the discussion. Hope you guys don't mind xD

Yoroshiku to you all!!!

Anyway, visit angel_devils for your Arashi subbed video updates

can i ask whether stageplay will be released on dvd?
because i really want to watch aiba's greenfingers.

The AAA in tokyo concert DVD is a really good one to own. So worth it to have. The set list was good, the staging was really awesome. Plus Arashi in a concert is always enjoyable. Best of all the costumes were good nothing too JE'ish that would make you cringe.

New single!


E-mail from CDJapan:

I hope I can get a copy of AAA of my own soon. I can't wait to watch it knowing that its really good among other things.

wat!!!?? new single..wow..its only been a few months since the release of Believe and yea now a new single..WOW!!! AWESOME!!! hehe..

thanks juu for sharing the link to the update on Arashi's subbed vids...

me too. i want the AAA DVD...hope my sis fren can get me one when he returns to Japan...

The LE are already sold out at CD Japan & HMV... I guess I have to settle for the regular version... AGAIN. I wish JE would produce more of the LE or be like Avex and release 3 different versions... It's not like people aren't going buy Arashi CDs if it's not a LE.

edit:

Door To Door - English Sub is out

http://arashi.vox.com/library/post/door-to...a.html#comments

for those waiting for sub....

they have new single again? sugoi ne,..they just release single last month,and
yet another single next month?i'm trying to buy AAA dvd concert but it's already sold out,i don't when
can i get another one

jeniez are you living in japan?if so where are you here? and you're jeneiz on veoh ne? i always
visiting your site,when i want to watch ANS.thanks for uploading,you're lucky veoh is not strict for
deleting acoounts or video unlike youtube

i feel very very very sad today,when i open my youtube account i already suspended i cry
like a sea when i knew i'm suspended..i have only 5 subbed arashi videos,most of them is fan vid,i'm
choosing video to sub and not uploading too much but youtube deleted my account
i don't know if i upload or sub video again..i feel so sorry to my fan video i made,it's hard to search
and download them but what i got is suspension

jamaians, sorry to hear your youtube account got deleted. Japanese copyright laws are really strict. But honestly, I think the fans who upload Arashi vids on YT, Veoh and etc... are helping Arashi, not hurting them. I wouldn't have become a fan of Arashi if I didn't get a chance to watch their variety shows, live performances, dramas and so forth on streaming sites. Now, I'm a huge fan of Arashi and I buy every single thing that they release~ I own all of Arashi CD & DVD releases from the past 2, 3 years. And I know that a lot of Japanese people who live in different regions of Japan or Japanese people who live abroad are unable to watch Arashi variety shows, i.e. VS Arashi- which are only shown in the Kanto/Tokyo region, so having those shows uploaded on streaming sites help spread Arashi exposure and allow Japanese people to watch shows that they are otherwise unable to. Sometimes, I just feel that they take the copyright thing too far.

Thank you for visiting my veoh channel. But my laptop crashed so I won't be able to upload anything for a while until it get fixed. Hopefully, someone else will upload Arashi vids, variety shows on Veoh/YT. But yeah, I'm praying that my Veoh account doesn't get deleted . I used to live in Japan a few years back- Tokyo to be exact, but now I'm back in the US. Tokyo is my all time favorite city, there is no other place like it. I wish I was back there though. Are you living in Japan?

i agree with jeniez..without those vids i don't think i can truly know wat Arashi members are like....so yea got to thank those hard werking ppl who uploaded and subbed the vids for fans like us who can barely find any info on Arashi here in Singapore only through websites and vid...

aniwae welli just got this tot of opening an Arashi international forum...a forum where we can all call our own...we can share vids, infos, news, music, pics...etc...for all Arashi fans...well i know is very difficult and hectic cos i actualli an admin for one forum here in Sinagpore...but yea if we all can contribute then i just this forum can be a success and be well recognized by all...

aniwae tis is jut a suggestion...

lastly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEMjXQMqShM - this is the CM where Arashi's new single Crazy Moon was featured

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QgITbAZl7c - and MatsuJun's drama new CM for Smile

Seems like Arashi will overtake EXILE for 1st place on the yearly DVD ranking by next week. Sales for Believe/Kumori nochi, Kaisei slowed down a bit this week~ but I hope they can still break 700k by end of the year.

^ If I worked with Sho, I would never get anything done. T0T


I'm very curious to see Nino and Mao acting together.

(Listen/DL) Crazy Moon Kimi wa Muteki (Audio rip from Aiba's radio show, Recomen)

^^if any of the boyz is werking with me, i too can't concentrate well

anyway thanks for sharing the full song of Crazy Moon..its so nice...i can't wait to see the MV...

also thanks for the info abt Nino's new drama with Inoue Mao...hehe...i wonder will their chemistry will be as good as MatsuJun with Inoue Mao in HYD...hehe

Crazy Moon is amazing! it reminds me of kitto daijoubu: fun and upbeat, lol. i wonder what the PV will look like! and amini coopera no kioku sounds like a pretty good ballad!

I'm really looking forward to see Nino and Inoue Mao work together! At the same time I miss Matsujun and Inoue...
Speaking of Matsujun, can't wait for his new drama Smile!!!

to jeniez

So it's you who upload those videos to streaming sites!

Not that I want to blame you for that. I know you are trying to help people who can't see those shows by uploading them into streaming sites. But do you know it's prohibited? We lost great source because of that! And all we have now are Low Quality videos it's so horrible I almost cry. Many subbers lost their wits to sub those low quality videos because sometimes the sounds are too horrible, or you can hardly see the face of the people in the videos. Do you want that to happen? No right? So please stop uploading those videos to streaming sites. If they want to watch, please download it. There are so many subbers in LJ (please broaden your network, don't just stay here at soompi. It doesn't help at all). You can easily found VS Arashi (which you said so hard to find but there are so many subbed VS in LJ or even the raws), AnS, Mago Mago, or other Arashi shows there. So many people are stop sharing their videos because they don't want to get sued by Fuji TV. Fuji TV really have strict violation about breaking their rules. If you had lived in Japan before, especially you live in Tokyo, you should know about just how strict Japanese people about streaming videos.

I have all their cds from How Is It Going, their Arashigoto photobook, and I bet I have lots CD singles, DVDs concert, drama set DVD, magazine, photobook than yours. I'm their fans for four years you know, but I never have the urge to share other people videos to streaming sites. So please consider this. We already lost great source. And so many uploaders are feeling dejected to share their files. Slowly, we will have no source and we can't watch Arashi videos anymore, let alone the subbed videos.

^ Juuchan, I didn't know that uploading raw video files are prohibited. I normally google for these files and I upload whatever it is that I can find. Sometimes I find them in Chinese websites, sometimes in livejournals, sometimes at d-addicts and so forth. I was only trying to be helpful to other Arashi fans who are unable to watch their shows on TV. But don't worry, I won't be uploading Arashi videos on my channel anymore.


VS Arashi SP 090410
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/IA6ATnEskW4/

^ hey just wanted to say that the reason why arashi videos are less available online these days is because there are certain raw file uploaders who do not want their files redistributed or distributed without credit.

But there are also some files which are allowed to be redistributed, including online streaming, so I think it's okay if you check with the original uploaders of the videos!

in the vs arashi sp...during th falling pipe, sho is very cute..haha...

hmm i think 'crazy moon' reminds me of another arashi song, 'move your body'... omo todae Matsujun's drama is gg to be aired!!! i hope someone kind will subbed it and upload it online....

Ashi.ta no Kioku Preview

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySyJBKndei4...feature=related

Arashi no Shukudai-kun #130 is the most hilarious episode I have ever seen. Thank you, AnS staff!

Sho was so funny. I loved all of his facial expressions in this episode. Sho. Bicycle. I. What?! I love him so much for his special brain.

I almost cried because I was laughing so hard at the part where Aiba reveals the "breast pudding." It was funny when Nino, Ohno, and Sho were sniffing it and the camera closes in on Sho and he makes the cutest face at the camera and signals "no" and then blocks it with his hand. Jun and Aiba eating it was just.... lmao.

OHMIYA. OMG. YES. Why are you guys so amazing? Nino was being a major wuss, and it was hilarious to watch. He doesn't mind when Ohno just sticks his butt in his face. He just reaches and pulls on Ohno's undershirt. True love. T-T <3

^^
I'M WITH YOU! I laughed so hard watching that episode!! The breast game... LMAO. I loved their face expressions when the balloons popped!! They were in pain but the concept of the game was so lame that it was funny.
Jun & Aiba

It was truly so funny! One of the best episodes they had.

Once it is confirmed that I am getting FAFSA, I am so ordering this. I just found out Yesasia has Arashi Around Asia 2008 in Tokyo (Korea Version) for just $29.99. It has the same contents as the Japan version but different region codes. AADLHJASH YES.

^OMG I am so freaking proud of Arashi!!! ELLEGARDEN only sold 400 copies less than them so this record was nearly not possible, but wow, what a record!

question ne..

what is arashi's new single? i am busy right now that's why i'm not update but i still love them! haha!

thanks!

atsurokun ~ their new single is Crazy Moon - Kimi wa Muteki..the CD isn't out yet but you can DL the rip below...The double sided single, "Amini coopera no Kioku / Crazy Moon - Kimi wa Muteki" will be released on 27th May 2009...but you can preorder it at CDJapan




aniwae the AnS was so hilarious i laugh my butt off...yea the part where they where sniffing the dessert, Sho's face was uber cute...haha and yea the game part...i was laughing my butt off again...hehe Sho's face after the balloons burst and yea how Nino was literally being "tortured" by Riida...haha..hilarious...haha...

Arashi is going to be on Utaban on April 26th. Not too sure about the date since I can't read Japanese, but it has 4/26 on the picture so I guessed. They have so much to promote!

Nino is holding cards so he probably did some magic and Ohno showed a picture of him and a fish. These boys and their hobbies are adorable.

sumoboy translated an interview with Sho and Yoko here. Sho has been on a diet.

I adore that picture of Yoko hugging Sho. I just really love the disheveled hair look on Sho. <3

hmm i just finished watching Nino's Door To Door and i must say Nino did a hell of a good job in tat story..which also reminds me of Jun's SP Drama where he was diagnosed with a illness which cause him to be disabled...i think both of them must have done intensive research prior to the dramas...but yea their acting seems so natural tat even ppl who hadn't know them might think they realli had tat particular illness..

aniwae thanks for sharing the info for Utaban...yea they sure got a lot to promote with Jun's Drama 'Smile' [TONIGHT!!!], Sho's 'The Quiz Show' [TOMORROW!!!], Nino's upcoming drama "Tengoku de Kimi ni Aetara"...plus their upcoming single [coming out in 27th May 2009]...yea there sure do have a lot of things gg on..hehe..

aniwae i heard frm somewhere tat Nino doesn't mind if his girlfriend cheated on him....

http://arashi.vox.com/library/post/shocked.html

hmm..wow i wondered why.....

aatash translated that bit from when Nino was on Chou Gout Temps Nouveau here.

I personally don't understand people who are okay with people cheating on them. He deserves more. Just when we think we have Nino figured out... he says something like this, haha.

Thank You for the link!
I really enjoyed the first epi, in fact I love this drama more than I thought I would. I'm so happy Jun took the role of Bito, it's definitely a character out of his comfort zone but he did a great job in the first episode and I'm looking forward to the next one
