Ninomiya goes "Door to Door"
http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-4372

Arashi's Kazunari Ninomiya is starring in a TBS drama special called "DOOR TO DOOR." This is the third and last in the network's "kandou drama" series, which includes last year's "Marathon" and 2006's "Sukoshi wa, Ongaeshi ga Dekita Kana." Ninomiya also starred in those two specials.

These dramas are based on true stories about young men overcoming illnesses. "DOOR TO DOOR" is inspired by Bill Porter, an American door-to-door salesman who achieved the highest sales for his company despite suffering from cerebral palsy. In the U.S., Porter's story became a successful book, and it was turned into an Emmy-nominated made-for-TV movie on the TNT network in 2002.

TBS's version of "DOOR TO DOOR" is set in Japan, with Ninomiya playing the lead as a man named Hideo Kurasawa. His supporting cast includes Kanako Higuchi as his mother and Rosa Kato as a co-worker. Filming started on Sunday. TBS will air the drama on March 29 at 9:00pm.

Way to go Nino! I can't wait to see this special drama. I haven't watch Sukoshi wa, Ongaeshi ga Dekita Kana, but I did see Marathon and Nino was so good in it. Nino is such an amazing actor, I was tearing up the entire time watching that drama.

Here's the link to Marathon (without sub) for those who haven't seen it (I can't seem to find any link with sub) : http://www.veoh.com/videos/v11819677XeD57S...8704&rank=1

Ninomiya goes "Door to Door"

I am getting my box of tissues ready. I am so excited for this drama special. I saw the news reports and the behind the scene footage of Nino acting and he is so good. The second video breaks my heart. T-T


For those who want to watch Marathon (where he plays an autistic teenager training for a marathon) with English subtitles, join the stormy_team Livejournal community and go here. For Sukoshi Wa, Ongaeshi Ga Dekitakana with English subtitles, go here. This was the drama he shaved his head for. His character battles Ewing's sarcoma.

[riehae]

Wow. New dramas for Arashi members. I'm so excited. Looking so much forward to that. I kinda miss them.

[eija]

Sukoshi Wa, Ongaeshi Ga Dekitakana was so heartbreaking..
u guys should see behind the scene when they are bout to shave his head..
he is so cute...

[squallie]

Hey, are any of you guys going to Comic-con in NY this Friday? Sho Sakurai is gonna be there to promote his movie, Yatterman! PM me if any of you guys go!

Oooo, another Nino drama! I just finished watching Ryuusei no Kizuna and that was a FANTASTIC drama. Nino and Ryo are JE love!

UGH, it's sad. It seems that this thread doesn't grow but there's a whole world of Arashi fans out there and most of them can be found at Livejournal! I just watched them on that New Year Special with the flour faces and stuff, and it was just HILARIOUS! Everyone just picks on Riida to no end. I always feel bad that he's the butt of jokes but it sure as heck creates a lot of laughter. Come to think of it, most JE leaders are the butt of jokes, excluding Yamapi of NEWS of course.

I'm not familiar with LiveJournal, but can you guys can recommend any good Arashi's community fan sites for me to visit? It is kind of sad that there aren't that many Arashi's fan here in on Soompi...

And to those who are going to see Sho this Friday, have fun!! Too bad I'm stuck here on the West Coast and won't be able to make it.

[frozen delight]

No problem~ ^^

I suggest onlyarashifiles (Arashi files), arashi_yuuki (subbed videos), arashiaday (a picture of Arashi a day), arashigifaday (a .gif of Arashi a day), aibaday, junaday, ninomiyaday, shoaday, ohnoaday, ast_team (various subbed videos), enoarashi (subbed videos), tsuribaka (subbed videos), taijiprojectsub (subbed videos), last_of_days (updated show downloads). I just go to arashi_on for updated news because there are too many Arashi communities on Livejournal. I just stick to one.

dvampyrlestat is not a community, but she has lots of subbed videos too. Just check her tags. ^^
wingsonwords is where aatash does her translations, so you can check that out too.

I'm totally new to Arashi, well, my friend sent me their MV for "Truth" a few hours ago xD Can anybody make a screencap and show me where is Nino and Sho? I don't know if I guessed right. But I'm doing progress in differentiate them xD sorry...

This is Sho.


Mini pic spam~



v You're welcome. It would be nice to see more pictures of their pretty faces~ ^^ <3

[cheldee]

^Thanks for the picspam! I think this thread needs more pics!

I came across this, the Oricon Album weekly charts for last week or the week before?

2009/01/26付　Album Weekly

177　129　***,763　*,310,368　34　嵐 「Dream“A"live」 2008

The first column is the rank this week, the second was the rank the week before, the third column shows the sales figures for the week and the next is the total album sales to date.

Doesn't this show that there are alot of new Arashi fans stocking up on their old releases?

If i'm not wrong, this has been a continuing phenomenon (all their old releases reappearing on the Oricon charts) for the last few months and their older concert DVDs have been selling very well recently too.

[artful_DODGER]

1. could anyone post romanized lyrics to the song Truth please?

I can only help you with the romanized lyrics. Go here.



Has anyone seen Himitsu no Arashi-chan #38? Nino and his little notepad was funny. When Sho and Nino met the guys, Sho was being so cute. He was all "WOAH BIG WOAH BIG OMG WOAH." I love the segment where they surprise the members. Aiba's reaction was adorable. His request was so Aiba. He was so happy when he did it and he hugged the guy and the guy was like squeezing him and Aiba was all "IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS!" He's so cute. I kind of wish he left his hood up. Their outfits were so hot. T-T <3 The part where Sho gets on Aiba's shoulders was cute too. Jun's reaction was my FAVORITE. OMG. It was the cutest reaction from the usual Jun. AND HIS REQUEST LOL. He was making the Darth Vader noise. Of course Leader was the most calm. <3

[jeniez]

Thanks for the recommendations and pics everyone. I'll be sure to check them out.

I became a fan of Arashi just starting last year but I'm such a huge fan of them now. A few weeks ago, I went out and pretty much purchased all of their DVDs and recent singles & albums from HMV. So I guess I'm one of those new fans who are stocking up on Arashi's old releases.

And it seems like Arashi really took off in Japan the last few years, but last year was definitely the year where they reached new levels of stardom. I asked my former co-worker who was visiting me from Japan a few months ago about who is popular there now and she said "Smap and Arashi". Smap is always popular so I'm not surprised, but I was thrill to hear that Arashi is now on top as well.

What I really love about Arashi is how well they get along with each other and how they all complement each other~ they don't try to steal the limelight from one another. And on top of that, they're super hilarious. as well

[depressionalism]

woa thanks for all the infos and updates...

well yea maybe this thread is kinda quiet becos there's not much things tat we fans can find abt them...ya esp fans here in Singapore...Arashi things are close to nil...though there are CDs of theirs selling here but wohoo its so freaking EXPENSIVE!!!

haha..i too am a recent fan of Arashi so yea i don't noe abt the much but i agree with jeniez, the boyz realli get along with each other very welll...come to think abt it its been 10yrs and they still going strong...hehe

well ania+ania i too want to learn how to dance TRUTH though i noe how to dance a few parts of it...hehe..apparently i want to learn all their dances from We can make it! to Step and Go to A.RA.SHI..hehe...i think their dances are not pretty bad...hehe

[riehae]

Good thing that the old releases are still available and even making the Oricon chart. That's really amazing. XD

(DL) 090202 Arashi no Shukudai-kun #120 English Subbed
Guest: Nagase Tomoya (TOKIO)

This episode is GOLDEN. 3/5 Arashi hamburger. Jun shoving Ohno on his back to the floor and then positions himself on top and adglkhahgaha. A+ for Ohno's face. Sho's shrieks and his cute chipmunk face when he is eating a piece of the big hamburger is so much cute.

[squallie]

^OMG, seriously, I just saw that episode. For real, AnS episodes are the episodes I always look forward to the most for being subbed because it's just too good. I love seeing older JE artists with the younger ones. It's just so funny and yea, that episode was pretty golden. Nagase is hilarious with Arashi and even though Ohno rarely does anything on the show (and lacks being a leader) he tends to make me laugh the most! Jun was very out of character in that episode as well. When he was going nuts with the hamburger and the leather jacket. And man, Nino/Nagase/Aiba team sure are WIN! And Jun did look like Rambo.

jeniez, you are definitely right about how well they get along with each other. Probably the best out of all JE groups most likely. They even admitted that they never fought. I think it mostly has to do with Aiba and Ohno. They are such chill dudes and even though Ohno is the supposed "leader", he makes the group so relaxed and comfortable because he doesn't do anything! So chill! And they are all so HILARIOUS!

omg..i've seen it..it was super hilarious..nino and his notepad pbsession..i really love his haircut, he look like someone who is still in high school..they should do more outdoor program like this episode..for the past few weeks HNA only focusing on watching the clips without the boys doing nothing..hope to see more things like this..i love the parts where nino said arashi is a super idol but none of the people there were lookin at them (he and sho) because people around there were amaze by the heights of their guest (..i might be wrong with what he trying to say here..hehe)

This episode is GOLDEN. 3/5 Arashi hamburger. Jun shoving Ohno on his back to the floor and then positions himself on top and adglkhahgaha. A+ for Ohno's face. Sho's shrieks and his cute chipmunk face when he is eating a piece of the big hamburger is so much cute.

i really love arashi interaction with TOKIO..they were like best buddy..how nagase get irritated with nino by keep calling him nee-san..haha..they really is close with each other, they should do a show together someday..

arashi definitely on their peak during last year..they single 'truth' being the best selling single for 2008 was a proof how popular they was last year and all their singles hitting all the chart with sales more than 200k..im hoping all the best for them..its their time to shine..

[artful_DODGER]

And man, Nino/Nagase/Aiba team sure are WIN! And Jun did look like Rambo.

I love how Nagase was all "DON'T CALL ME NII-SAN!" and then one second later... Nino goes "Nii-san~" I love him mentioning that Jun looked like Rambo too. T-T <3

omg..i've seen it..it was super hilarious..nino and his notepad pbsession..i really love his haircut, he look like someone who is still in high school..they should do more outdoor program like this episode..for the past few weeks HNA only focusing on watching the clips without the boys doing nothing..hope to see more things like this

Nino will forever look like a 17 year old. That boy has some good genes. Also, I agree. I really wish the show was how it used to be where the boys presented secrets and went on location to investigate them. I don't see the point of watching the boys in little boxes and listening to them comment on stuff for a couple of seconds. T-T Anyway, Nino really was hilarious writing stuff in his notepad. I think at one point he wrote something about learning how to read the ruler because he looked so confused when he had to measure how tall that guy was, lol.


I read the translations for Popolo Magazine (March) and it was rather funny. Even though they have been together for 10 years, they have never met Ohno's parents. Even though they are in the same room/car, they each do their own things. I find that interesting. It means they are comfortable with each other. Leader is so sweet. He leaves one earplug out just in case someone needs to talk to him. ^^ Aiba is like a lonely puppy. I just want to cuddle him.

AND ADLGHSALASH SHO SHOULD BE IN NEW YORK NOW?
