I'm so happy! They deserve it for their 10th year!

YesAsia sales now count toward the Oricon charts. We'll be seeing the foreign fan's contribution to the sales. (:

Such a cute interview. Aiba seems to get his cheerful personality from his dad. The Ohmiya discussion was funny, lol. <3

I didn't see this one coming, but I must say AAA 2008 is going really STRONG.

[depressionalism]

seing the numbers,i'm very happy for them

yea i also heard that now if you buy Arashi CDs frm YesAsia,it will also be added into the Oricon chart...

let's see how far more can they exceed

[erkkster]

I don't post in many Arashi threads or forums on the net, more of a silent reader really. But, I've been a fan of Arashi since I first got into Japanese music, back in 2005, and they are still going strong!
From my avatar and signature it's pretty obvious I'm a Ohno fan, but Arashi would have to be one of the few groups I actually like all the members, haha.

I'm so glad they are still releasing awesome music, and that they are still as entertaining~

I'll have to start posting in more threads

[riehae]

wow... It's so obvious that it's Arahi year this year.
Congrats to them. And keep those number... those sales coming up.
I'm so proud of them.

Yay, almost 700k and Arashi is now 4th on the album chart.

[hugnkiss]

Arashi..
Sugoi~
almost 700000

congrat to them..
Proud...!~

[lisaaa]

i'm pretty sure they'll pass 700k tomorrow. i'm so proud of them!

[riehae]

They will probably pass 1million mark...
i wonder how many album sales they will have for this year...
with their dfferent releases...
just everything that they had sold for this year under their group name...

[artful_DODGER]

"With 『Ash!ta no Kioku/Crazy Moon』 and 『Believe/Kumori Nochi Kaisei』 Arashi already had a monopoly on the 1st and 2nd spots of 2009's first-week-sales ranking, and on the 19th (Wednesday) their album 『All the BEST！ 1999～2009』 sold a record 753,000 copies - also a personal best - and took the Album Ranking's top spot. Until now, the record for highest-ranking first week sale for '09 was held by Mr.Children for 『SUPERMARKET FANTASY』 （released December 2008） with over 708,000 copies sold.

『SUPERMARKET FANTASY』 already broke the million barrier, but if Arashi can achieve a million in sales, out of all the albums and singles they have released since November 1999, this will be the birth of their first million selling work.

This is a 2-disc compilation including all singles from 1999's 『A.ra.shi』 to this May's 『Ash!ta no Kioku/Crazy Moon』. Along with the headline songs, the members penned the lyrics for a new song named 「5�10」 which expresses the gratitude they feel for these past 10 years."

Such a cute photoshoot. ^^

Q: What’s the most important thing for you?
Aiba: For me, it’s laughter. When all of us are together, we laugh so much more.

Arashi's heart and soul~ His hair color changed again. I think it's back to black. Very hot. ^^ Jun was sporting a bit of stubble on AnS #148, lol.

D - 4 TO DAY ONE OF KOKURITSU!

[lisaaa]

i knew they could pass 700k+!! i'm very happy for arashi <3
i also can't wait to receive my copy of the LE (thanks to my amazing friend )

[depressionalism]

wow if they pass 1Million sales i'll be so proud of them..i hope it does..

hehe abt Jun, wonder why he is keeping his moustache and beard for???

[lisaaa]

i personally hope jun gets rid of that beard ASAP, lol. i really don't like it on him
i doubt he has it for a drama or something, though. he just forgot and didn't shave?

[depressionalism]

but it seems he's keeping it quite a long time already as seen frm AnS and HnA....and during HnA one, it seems to be growing much thicker....


i doubt he forgotten to shave it....


yea he definitely must remove it...cos it just turns me off

[lisaaa]

today's sales:
1->1 - Arashi - 28,045 + 33,696 = 61,741

total sales: 815,171

[depressionalism]

wowo 200 000 more!!!

1 Million mark..

i hope during the 5x10 tour it will increase more...*cross finger*

[artful_DODGER]

Ah~ I'm patiently waiting for Kokuritsu concert reports! A fan has posted some pictures of the concert venue with the Arashi 5X10 flags here. Fans heard them rehearsing "Everything" and "5X10." zomboid has scanned her tour goods clearfiles here. They look so pretty. It's so cute how they each are themed after their hobbies, lol. I'm so jealous. I will probably never in my life be able to go to an Arashi concert. They are really cracking down on re-selling tickets and such. T-T

Wink Up (September 2009)
Aw, Nino~ He wants Ohno to be the first to go see his stageplay. AND LOL TOMA AND OHNO ARE STILL GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH IKEMEN AND FISHERMAN. <3

It's just a little snippet, but it's very cute. ^^

And my parents had said to me, ‘If you stay back a year, you pay your own tuition,’ and I definitely didn’t want that to happen, so I was determined to graduate in four years. The option of quitting school didn’t even exist in me.

<3

3 MORE DAYS UNTIL JUN'S BIRTHDAY! ARASHI'S YOUNGEST TURNS 26. <3 It's also the last day of Kokuritsu! I hope they celebrate on stage. ^^
