it was fun to see Downtown playing Rolling Coin Tower against the guys ;p

:thud

^ I know that's really something

mag scans of the guys in Myojo (Nov & Dec) & the latest Popolo - http://community.livejournal.com/ara...40.html#cutid1

me too :thud & Kaori your Kame set's hot period :O

they look so cuteee :smitten

Aiba & Sakurai looked really unusually moody in the dec Myojo scans :dead2

Nino & Ohno looked great while MatsuJun's well .. just him ;p

the group shot's NICE :smitten

LOL :laugh

it depends on which JE boy/s are moody in question , I like some moody shots but it all boils down to who to begin with

beautiful days is at @ #2 today :D

I bet you sure do like it when it's Nino that's moody cause he looks damn hot so~ XD

wow that's great

:roflmao

well I do admit that the guys looked really good at being moody at times

just look at the Nov Wink Up pics , all of them looked really hot :love

my younger sister said that ABC's Kawai loved to mimic MatsuJun , dance move wise especially for WISH's case LOL & Love so sweet too

she's watching shonen club now so yup

Beautiful days's at no.4 overall weekly with 35,931 copies

total sales so far for the single - 387,791

it will cross 400K next week :D

i'm (as usual :P) happy for a #4 ranking for the week! i can't believe they had 4 top selling singles this year, lol.

yeah man & it's quite a big acheivement

initally I thought Beautiful days will sell lower than Step and Go somemore , guess I was proven wrong big time

RnK #5 ratings: 15.1%

:cool i'm so happy it's getting consistently good ratings.

They're doing so good still!! Yay!!
Anybody watched Arashi no Shukudai kun "no money special"? It was hilarious!!! Loved the whole Aibaland who's the first to sleep game!! The boys were too adorable!

i was gonna DL it yesterday, but it was going unusually slow. i'll need to watch it tomorrow :weep

LOL

my younger sister downloaded it last night & it's so funny , I watched a bit while she helped me to interpret here & there on what's going on & etc

it was so funny when all the futons were brought out & Aiba asked the guys to go & sleep in them T_T

looks like it has overtake Step and Go already , neat !

same here :weep i hope they can still be this successful in 2009.

^^ of course they will (Hope so much we don't loose them after their 10th anniversary)

I read somewhere that the Johnny's boys are signed for at LEAST 10 years, it means forced to stay in the agency, and not to leave, but what about after 10 years, will they have the choice to leave??

^ hmmm. i'm not so sure about that, but they are probably under a contract of some sort.

i think it's different when you are a Johnny's Junior and a debuted JE member, though. i think Juniors have more freedom with leaving the Jimusho. but don't take my word for it, it's just my speculation.

i think Arashi will release a best album of some sort for their 10th anniversary. KinKi Kids & TOKIO have done somewhat similar things for their 10th (KinKi was a selection album, while TOKIO did Johnny's covers!)

...or something special like that.

lol are you kidding Irene ? they HAVE to release a best album next year

it's not everyday a 10th anniversary flies by so easier just like that you know

besides it has been 4 years since their last best compliation album so it's about time for another one

wah just imagine , all 24 of their singles + DVD of all their PVs (assumingly)

:thud I will faint big time

Pics of Nino in an.an magazine - http://www.yuseong.ws/nino/

he looks good :D

when does nino NOT look good?

.........during the step and go era, i didn't like his long hair :innocent

yeah that was the only time I didn't liked his hairdo

the DAL cover was bad as well but thank goodness after One Love , he cut it !

I really want MatsuJun to revert back to his 'normal' hairdo days . He looked good at the recent HEYx3 but after that :no

I still LOL at the part where Aiba spilt his pants when they were doing Lucky Man live :laugh

yea, jun needs his "diva" hair back. i miss it so much, lol. bangs are too plain on him :P

I know !

I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually miss the HYD perm now :dead2

& to think I complained so much when he had it but now I missed it :( :weep

MatsuJun looks erm 'tame' in the kimi wa pet like hairdo . I actually like him being a bad boy & an arrogant brat ala Domoyoji Tsukasa much :innocent

karen, why do you dislike the perm so much! :laugh i loved it on jun. :weep

cos he used too much hairspray ;p especially in the 2nd season & in the movie

I hated it at 1st but I actually like it now

it's a love/hate thing going on , kinda like what happened with Makino / Domoyoji isn't it ?

LOL only it's hairstyles and not two people who are complete opposites :laugh

i miss HYD by talking about it :weep when i have time, for fun, i'm gonna rewatch it :tipsy

:roflmao

I actually downloaded both seasons & the movie all from mysojou haha which practically saved me the $ from buying the dvds although I'm thinking whether to get the HYD Final DVD or not

I can't wait for VS ARASHI in 2 weeks's time , Tegoshi will be appearing on the show lmao

LOL speaking of the movie, maybe i should see that instead! i still didn't watch it :laugh

i can't wait for tegoshi on VS! i gotta see last week's episode, though, with misono. :P

what you haven't watch HYD Final yet ? T_____T you should

last week's VS ARASHI was fun , the guests totally blew it basically . At least no 1 insulted Sakurai like what always happened :laugh

beautiful days is #5 today! :D it was #8 for the past 2 days.

ohh, and the boys will be at FNS on december 3rd! http://www.fujitv.co.jp/FNS/index2.html

they better sing truth :grumpy pleasee no beautiful days or one love. :weep

:roflmao

er where's the love for Kaze no Mukou e , Lisa ? They only did that once live on Music Lovers T_T

This year the Johnny's that will be performing on FNS are, Arashi, Kinki Kids, SMAP, TOKIO, NEWS, V6 and Hey! Say! JUMP. Or in other words everyone but KAT-TUN and Tackey & Tsubasa.

what no KAT-TUN and T&T ??!?!?! T________________________T

maybe their too busy?

but i do love KnMe, too. i just love truth the most, lol.

K-T, T&T, & K8 haven't been on FNS (they weren't there last year, lol). i think it's because those JE units mentioned are affiliated with the TV station they're performing at? err, i think that's what people have said, IDK.

maybe they meant dramas? ryo was on last friends, shige was on hokaben (that was on fuji, right? i forgot :laugh) and yamapi was on code blue, which are on Fuji TV too? :shrug

the last couple of YamaPi doramas have been under Fuji Terebi, yupppp. Ryo too (RnK is TBS though. but Last Friends was Fuji TV).

KAT-TUN's usually under NTV (even dorama work).

the main channels are basically TBS, Fuji, and NTV. those are the majority of JE dramas, lol. :P

anyway, does anyone know when the best artist awards is? i think next week or no?

not sure for that sorry

anyway pics of the guys in Myojo Jan '09 - http://ichigo-umai.livejournal.com/1...869674#t869674

that's what I'm talking about MatsuJun ;p

^ jun, you look cute and all, but i want SEXYBACK :weep

lol

define your definition of SEXYBACK , Lisa perhaps ala an.an mode ? :roflmao :innocent

i dunno, just....sexy? :laugh i just want my hot jun back. :weep

*1 *2 *1 *8 *8 *5／*4　嵐 「Beautiful days」

looking good Beautiful days ! at least this time round , their singles managed to have a longer charting life unlike in the past

#4 again? awesome :cool

ohh and VS arashi this week was HILARIOUS! sho fell off of the cliff climber thing, and his butt literally got on camera and knocked the camera man out! :laugh

yup you got that right Kaori

AHAHAHA :roflmao

really ? omg

I just downloaded it , I'm gonna watch it now :roflmao

EDIT - ok I saw it just now

yay for MatsuJun :smitten (I'm so loving the hair now) . I'm shocked that Ohno didn't got any points for the Falling Pipe at all :O

& it's a bit eh that this time round there were only 2 instead of 3 games

:laugh

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc1nQ...eature=related

ohno :laugh

brotherly love between matsujun and ohno:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuHsZ...eature=related

their such idiots. :smitten

^ haha

MatsuJun was pissed with that guy wearing green , did you see the Domoyoji effect coming outta him in the Falling Pipe game ? classic :laugh

& YAY for next week's VS , Tegoshi will be on the show :P

yea i got that domoyoji vibe, too. oh how i miss him as the psycho tsukasa :weep

i'm probably the only one...but when i first saw this cover
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj85/pommy48/1-3.jpg
i thought it was matsujun dressing up as a girl XD
it just reminds me of tsukasa..

LOL :laugh seriously pommy? :tipsy

http://thegeekwithin.com/wp-content/...1/matsujun.jpg

i miss you, tsukasaaaa :weep

LOL XD just the face...:roflmao
:bawl HYD no more....:bawl

but here is a side by side comparsion :lech

http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj85/pommy48/1-4.jpghttp://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj85/pommy48/2-2.jpg

i made the pics bigger

:headache i always forget to post...cause every time someone post in here, the latest reply is just "....." so i never click, but i promise to post more :yes and point out how matsujun will look like a girl...

matsujun does NOT look like a girl! :grumpy he's a REAL man :smitten



and with that, i go to bed in peace :smitten

LMAO. i guess she kinda looks like MatsuJun?

i think it's the facial expression. xD

yeah...i think their facial structure kinda look the same...but now it's disturbing..cause i'll think of matsujun looking like that all the time XD :roflmao

me too :weep

there's always reruns that you can watch online so ...

:O

I think it's the facial expression that's it

:roflmao

wooooooo :thud

I still think his an.an photospread's up there although well Yamapi's one takes the cake & so's SMAP's Kimura :innocent

then again MatsuJun's an.an photospread 1 of my faves alongside with the CINEMA SQUARE Volume 15 so yup

:roflmao

post here more often Jasmine :grumpy

:tired i'm sorry, but i'm trying really hard~ i sometimes lurk...but it just seems every time i want to comment, you guys are already on the next topic XD :thud

edit: WONDERLAND....:bawl i'm not a women anymore XD

haha don't worry it's easy to catch up on topics here so no worries Jasmine

lmao that makes me laugh :laugh

arashi's at #3 today! :love

has anyone (besides kaori, probbably :laugh) seen "mago mago arashi"? i'm downloading an episode of it now because akusub quit subbing RnK :weep so i needed something to watch, lol.

my younger sister does watch Mago Mago Arashi but not for me Lisa

& yeah it's quite sad that Akubsub stop the RnK subbing project as she said it's getting too dull/boring for her liking

but i just find it so selfish, in a way. so what if you don't like it? others do and it's not easy to find fast and reliable softsubs like akusub's. it just really makes me mad. :grumpy

yeah I know what you mean Lisa but I think it takes a lot of hard work , time & efforts to order to get the soft subs up & running

at least she did a great job for Maou's case

Me watches Mago Mago! And I think it's one of their best TV shows ever!

I dooo. but I prefer the episodes when they go and cook for the little kids, rather than them doing things with the old people :D My fave current show by them is Himitsu no Arashi-chan. It's so interesting!

i actually find himitsu no arashi chan boring, lol. VS arashi and arashi no shudukai-kun are my favorites! the episode that i saw of mago mago yesterday was when jun and ohno played baseball with grandparents. ohno was HILARIOUS! he's beyond being a dork, i swear. :P he said when he was younger he used to do bruce lee imitations :laugh and he sucked at playing baseball during the episode, too. it was touching though, because the grandfather had diabetes and he still continued to play baseball and be a coach to kids.

aw bless :(

did you watched the 2 Haunted House episodes with regards to Himitsu no ARASHI Chan ?

man Ohno's a 'freak' , he really has nerve of steels whereas Sakurai , Aiba & Nino are well you know

Ohno treated going inside the 'haunted' hospital & inn as a form of excursion :roflmao

^Ohno is so great! *_*

Are those episodes available for download somewhere? Or uploaded (and available) on a streaming site?

http://community.livejournal.com/onlyarashifiles/ is a great LJ community that they uploaded all these shows

some of them are raw , some are subbed depending on your luck & on what you're looking for

that's where i downloaded mago mago from :D but the other shows are in this tajiprojectsub community thing, and i need to request membership to join :eviltongu i think i'll do it, i'm just too lazy to wait until i get accepted, lol.

lol

just go to tajiprojectsub & request for membership , the moderator Becky wouldn't eat you up :laugh

OMFG I LOVE HIM :laugh

happy birthday ohno satoshi manaka tomoo naruse ryo :laugh i love maou, lol.

YAY

Happy 28th birthday Riida :D

Christmas eve's Aibaka's turn :laugh

:laugh i STILL can't stop laughing from that GIF. ohno is just retarded.

me too :roflmao

I always like him for going heads on against SMAP's Nakai at Utaban , he does it best :laugh
