Music Lovers Dream Live 2009 on 3/24. Sho-kun will be the special MC. And Arashi will perform as well.

artful_DODGER, thanks for that Arashi's interview. Reading that made me feel all happy inside.

As for Himitsu no Arashi-chan, I liked it in the beginning~ it was a really interesting concept. But either they ran out of money or idea or both and keep changing the format of the show. And I agree that it's getting really boring now. The only interesting parts are when Arashi members talk. Although their bakakkoi and Guinness segments were really awesome. I'm still loving VS Arashi and Arashi no Shukudai-kun. Those two shows are hilarious as ever- I look forward to them every week. I think that they should change the format of Himitsu no Arashi-chan to focus on Arashi more since they actually bring entertainment values instead of just sitting there and watching VTRs.

Believe/Kumorinochikaisei sold 62,924 this week, bringing their 2-week total to 564,912! The numbers still make me dizzy.

(501,988 + 62,924)



Break 600,000 soon? Next week? The week after?

Have you guys watched Shukudaikun last night? Was it worth watching?
I'm excited for the 'Arashi no Jiken-kun & Shukudaikun Special' to be aired next week.



v Thanks for the links Haha the boat experiments are classic, thought they said they weren't going to do it anymore but knowing them, how can they resist? Those bakas! LOL

I thought MatsuJun was really cute in this episode~ he seemed really uncomfortable when talking about his first kiss. And Ohno-kun talks a lot in this episode, surprisingly. I'm looking forward to next week too. My favorite segments are Nino's fruit/plant experiment and Aiba-kun & Sho-kun boat experiment.

Hopefully Believe/Kumorinochikaisei will break 600k soon.

HOLLY is our president because she'skeeping this thread active!and one of the
people sharing updates..HOLLY what do you think?!

Everyone has contributed to keeping the thread alive. It hasn't been on the second page yet which was my intention. I'm not president material but thank you for the consideration. I am busy with college again, but I will try to keep the links coming. Everyone here does a great job of updating anyway. Also, talking about and discussing past events and videos are always fun. I hope to see more fans posting. (:

Does anyone want to work on making a new intro post? The topic starter is currently busy with college and she had asked if anyone wanted to update the first post. She said she would edit the first post. We need new graphics, group bio, individual member bios, discography/lyrics, and useful links, etc. A good example is the SuJu thread. It's very organized and informative.

OH MY JESUS OH MY GOD AH;JHAHGA SHIRTLESS SHO

Cut is like becoming my favorite magazine EVER.
I want an Aiba shoot next, please~!

Sho in New York (Yatterman Photobook):

I love his smile in the last photo.

I swear my laptop is going to explode from all the Arashi files I have. T-T

[riehae]

Thanks for the scans.
And thanks also for the update of album sales.
It just keeps getting higher.

[jeniez]

I love those pictures of Sho-kun in NY. He has the sweetest smile.

And the Believe single is still going strong. It's 8th on the Oricon chart today.

[squallie]

Holly, may I call you that? I don't blame you. My external hard drive is ridden with Arashi files and I'm afraid it's gonna explode sometime soon because of all the overheating it goes through. Damn, I think I might get the Yatterman photobook now. I saw it in Kinokuniya but it was wrapped so I'm gonna save up for it. My god does Sho look gorgeous in those scans. All his scans in all the recent magazines have been gorgeous, let's just say that. And his recent interview about what Arashi means to him was sooo, I can't even describe it. The way he talks and speaks is so sophisticated out of the Arashi circle, it's almost like he's a different person. But what do you expect from the "study" leader. <3333

^ The second link with Nino and Sho~ from what I understand, there was no Himitsu no Arashi-chan that day due to the WBC game so they did a live WBC special. Nino was really excited since he's such a fan of baseball and Japan beats Cuba in that game. Nino said that he clapped to the point that his hands were hurting. LOL.

I love footage of their debut. They were so adorable. The way Ohno's long hair blows in the wind makes me laugh. Also, that's really good news. Congrats to the Yatterman team! (:

If you want to distribute it equally or if people want to volunteer for a part, that would be great. Since we can't edit the first post ourselves, we can just link to a new post that we can edit ourselves. A schedule for the boy's shows and appearances would also be great if someone wants to volunteer.

anyone wad is the name of this programe?

The one where Nino cries is called "Gakibara If" if I recall correctly. It is the same program where Nino played the Invisible Man to help a little boy be more independent.

Although I rarely post in this thread, I come here almost everyday to check on updates >_<;;
So thanks to everyone for constantly keeping this thread up to date~ :D

[jeniez]

Welcome to the Arashi's thread Judy.

artful_DODGER, thanks for all the links. I haven't watch any of Arashi's older shows yet, I think it's about time I start catching up on those.

[novemberbaby]

Did anyone catch the latest episode of VS Arashi? Silly Aiba banged his head during the Falling Pipe segment instead of using his hands to catch the pipes, lol.

Just wanted to ask a question:

Do you guys mind sharing some of your favorite Arashi moments? For example, Nino pointing out on TV that Riida's fly was open, Sho-chan calling himself cute in a maid's uniform, etc?

Mine include:
- The two examples I mentioned, hehe.
- Any time Jun turns DoS.
- Whenever Aiba hits Nino.
- The time when they took clothes off mannequins on AnS. Nino had a hard time deciding to take the briefs off or not, lol.
- Any time Sho-chan fails.

I have more but I want to know yours. xD

[artful_DODGER]

YES OMG. The impact made a rather loud sound too so it definitely hurt. Poor darling. Everyone was laughing at him, lol.

harunomasu has translated VS Arashi #48 here.

Do you guys mind sharing some of your favorite Arashi moments?

I could go on forever about them. I love the moments you mentioned. Sho fail is my favorite kind of fail. He usually has the cutest pout after. I'll try to narrow mine down. One moment is from the making of Aozora Pedal. It's the scene where they are playing with the fireworks and it was the last one so Jun lights it for celebration and such. You see Sho come up behind Nino in the background and puts his arms around Nino's middle, basically hugging him from behind. Sho doesn't let go and they both back up with each other swaying. Then the firework explodes and Sho seems to hold Nino closer. It was so precious~ ♥

I also love the moments where they randomly just tack on -chan after each other's names or call each other by their first names. When Sho and Aiba were in the origami paper boat, Sho goes, "Masaki baby, Masaki baby, Masaki baby~!" when the front of the boat was being crushed and Aiba just thought it was normal and replied, "What? Is Masaki baby doing wrong?" because he was in the back and couldn't see what was happening. Also, Sho calls Ohno, "Satoshi" and I find it really cute.

There are moments when they have no second thoughts about sharing cups or spoons. Since Nino never seems to to eat on Arashi no Shukudai-kun, I watch Sho and Ohno instead. I love it when Sho tries something and then goes, "OMG LEADER IT'S DELICIOUS EAT IT YOU WILL LIKE IT" and Ohno eats it and they flail together.

Also, Nino's camera from the How's It Going tour! OMG. They were on crack. Everything about this video is amazing. Nice final beam! Then they all record a song for Jun's 20th birthday, which was really sweet.

sumoboy has a translation from TV guide where the boys talk about giving flowers to please girls here.

Aiba: Recently, I gave Sho-chan flowers on his birthday. He's not a girl, though. (laughs)

Could he be any cuter? T-T <3
