yay arashi.
i miss watching mago mago arashi.
i think they are the sweetest to go to people's homes and help take care of them.
it gets me to think that they aren't all about glamour and fame, and are really down-to-earth people.
well, they are still cool. i hope there are more posts on youtube for their recent concerts.
it's so nice when the fans sing along their songs.

Truth/Kaze no mukou e's sales for today:

28,046 (x1.75) -> 49,080
Total so far -> 373,345

Does anyone else think that this is definitely Arashi's year? I mean the last two years~ especially last year, they were doing really really well, but I think they're at the height of their career right now and their popularity keep rising like crazy. I mean, Love So Sweet was the 4th highest selling single last year (the highest of any JE group) and their One Love single just became the highest selling single this year. And Arashi's exposure is crazy too- they're like everywhere. They host 3 variety shows (Arashi no Shukudai-kun, Vs Arashi, and Himitsu no Arashi-chan) and will be the main caster for this year's 24 hr Terebi. I just saw the promo for this and I was bawling my eyes out. Not to mention the individual member's work, Matsu Jun with his movie, Ohno with his drama, Nino with his upcoming drama, Sho with News Zero and Beijing Olympic main caster, and Aiba is his animal variety show. Then there's the crazy out sold out concerts- they had a five dome tour ealier this year and next month will start their second Asian tour which will include Seoul, Taipei, and Shanghai.

I haven't been back to Japan for a while now, so I not sure who's the most popular JE group at the moment- I think it might still be Kat-tun~ Kat-tun was huge when they first debuted but seems like their sales have been slowing down since then. In the meanwhile, Arashi's popularity and exposure are getting insane so I think it's very likely that they will take the top spot soon.

嵐１０周年おめでとうございます～

^ Not to mention, Kanjani8 is really popular since they did their 47 tour last year and their sales are really good too but anyway, I just saw Truth and Kaze no Mukou e PV and both are really good. In Truth, they finally dance again. I haven't seen them dance like that for a while.

arashi is number one again.
that's cool. their concerts must be crazy fun because of the energy.
i've always loved arashi's vibe. they're not the giddy give-me-attention sort of artists.
i respect their down-to-earth attitude. at first, i was thinking they look so bored.
but their personality and they way they talk with each other is so chill.
they should keep on being number one.

I was hooked on Jun bait!
They're songs are really catchy and fun!
I love a lot of Johnny's entertainment eventhough they're "manufactured."

nice. arashi is having another single released.
i hope the video comes out soon after.

it's also nice to see that their style have matured so much.
i like that they've kept the natural dark hair which fits them all very well.

is ninomiya's new tv series strictly drama or could it be comedy?
i think it would be fun to see them acting in a serious comedy film. say, ohno.

good luck to arashi and their concerts.
i'd like to see the previews of them and see how they are doing.
it seem that they recieve warm welcomes in many places.
i hope they plan to perform in america in the near future.
