:luv2 O M G
that PV looks amazing !!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to see the whole PV

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG


and a song with the lyrics done by Sho :love

Re(mark)able?!?!? awwwww Sho-kun ur so smart and witty!!! ^^
can't wait for that song!

and the Truth PV makes my heart beat fast lol like a fangirl attack coming on lol
i hope those aren't clips from the fully edited PV tho...
i was kinda hoping for some more artsy/dramatic shots...
the lighting makes me think of Taiyou no Namida PV... >.<
and a bit of the choreography looked snatched right out of We Can Make It

but they all look SUPER fine in it ^^ can't wait!! ^^

The PV looks awesome!!
At first I didn't like the dancing (ya know, dark PV and then dancing!?!?!?) but it's grown on me. Plus it's Johnny's, can't be helped, LOL!
I prefer the violin shots... and Riida!!! Woohoo!!
Thanks for the link, Kaori-chan!

The PV looks interesting... I don''t like MatsuJun's hair though!

i found a high quality preview of the truth PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9IxTmb8wAw

^ awesome thanks for that Lisa :D

the previews going on in there are great , all the more I can't wait for truth to be out

WOW thank you, even better than I had thought!

nooo, that'd be such a crappy video for a fun song like kaze no mukou e, lol. i want a fun summer-ish PV after having a dark one like truth. :P

ugh, i STILL can't find any airdates for any PVs. why does JE release so damn late! :laugh

Kaze no Mukou e PV - outfits wise , maybe it will be the same ones that the guys are wearing on the 2nd LE cover ?

In 2 weeks's time or so , the single will be released & no releases of the full PVs yet for both .

Faster J Storm , what's taking you so long :dead2

oh sweet! PV preview looks great. i love the dark lighting they used. :)

can't wait for the full thing!

I love truth a lot more now, and the PV looks really great. :)

me too , I love the concept going on in there & the inclusion of a whole group of orchestra in the backdrop's plain wow

I want to know something regarding the Love so sweet PV . Those non dancing parts in the PV , where did the guys shot those scenes at cos it's quite westernised with the inclusion of foreigners in which I realise their other PVs weren't like that .

Was it flimed in Florida or something ?

It might have just been in a set in Japan...

I just watched the preview! Thank you very much for the links!
I must say that this is one awesome PV..

Theres places in Japan that look rather westernised as in the architecture, i think Nagashima is one because it was where a lot of western traders came to do bussiness in Japan.

Its funny how they talk about first dates with ARASHI... it was a little short tho :P

mmm come to think about it , yes I wouldn't be surprised if there're certain perfectures in Japan which has that Western look going on in them .

anyway ...

I was watching MTV Taiwan just now as they aired their J & Kpop chart show every weekend (Sat's the live broadcast while the next day's the encore) & the guys are still on top with One Love , Top10 J/Kpop singles in Taiwan wise .

One Love has stayed on top for 2 weeks now , let's see if they can do that again next week

http://www.g-music.com.tw/GMusicBillboard3.aspx they're #4 for all jkpop ranking, that's pretty good..i think they might sell more after HYD is released..but that's still a long time away

I think it's amazing that One Love's doing so well in Taiwan even though the HYD Final movie will not be released in Taiwan til 29th this month while S'pore's getting it next month on the 4th .

S'pore's supposed to get it this month on the 21st :weep but due to unforeseen circumstances , it was pushed back 2 weeks later grr

anyway ...

*9 *9 *8 14 14 15／14　嵐 「One Love｣

^lol i can see you're very angry with the pushing back of HYD
and what is Kaze no Mukou e translated?

Arashi are getting more succesful... I cant wait till their next CD

did anyone ever see the cisplay exhibition from AnS? it's HILARIOUS!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvaxgXOoZSY

and i just love this aibaland game, too:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw8iloVsZOQ

^ lol that's funny

looks like yesterday VS ARASHI wasn't cancelled after all :D

I'm trying to download the latest episode but zshare's not allowing me to :weep

can anyone help me to download & reupload the files via MF please ?

Part 1 - http://www.zshare.net/download/164245091739c80a/

Part 2 - http://www.zshare.net/download/16424337bbbebd34/

i'm happy VS arashi was still on. i couldn't watch, though. TVUPlayer got messed up on me. :P

bummer but are you able to download the files from zshare ?

I've been trying all morning but to no avail :(

i can't download it here, but i can try tomorrow on my grandparents computer, lol. i do most of the downloading there. :laugh

ok can do , thanks :)

everyone's waiting for the PVs of truth / Kaze no Mukou e to be released by J Storm basically

that & there're some previews of the truth PV being uploaded on youtube :)

yeah :yatta that's great :)

I'm happy it wasn't cancelled :yes

me too

I wonder what crazy antics the guys came up with yesterday .

last week they were cruel to 'abandon' Sakurai in letting him do the rolling coin tower on his own :weep

buncha meanies :eviltongu but I still love them :D

truth / Kaze no Mukou e - release date's 20th this month :D

another short PV preview of truth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWbHjbQ6tIk

^ thanks Lisa , this's getting very exciting , I so can't wait for the truth PV to be out now :D

hopefully you'll be able to upload the latest VS ARASHI episode for me soon

I still can't download the files that're hosted on zshare :(

karen, it won't work for you because you need to join those 2 files together, using HJ Split. i'm currently downloading, so maybe i can upload the episode, fully, if it works.

EDIT: please comment if you download: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77899

I do have HJ Spilt but the problem's no matter how many times I download from zshare , it's still refusing me to download from their server :eviltongu

anyway , thanks for the link I'm downloading it right now even though megaupload's 1 of my least fave servers :dead2

it was the only server that can take over 100MB. sorry karen.

it's ok I understand , besides it must have taken a lot outta you to do that for me so thanks :grouphug

Where Kaori though ? it's really strangely quiet on here without her :dead2

Kaori-chan! I missed you!!! >.< what up w/ the new account??

NACHO-MAN!!!!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?

Awwww! the 24hr TV CMs are so cute ^^

omigosh, Kaori! ur set is so awesome! whenever you change to a different one, can i use it?!?? >.<

I totally agree with Raye-chan, great set, Kaori-chan (and I was also wondering what's up with the new account...?).

The CMs are adorable!! Kyaaa!! And being on the topic of 24hour terebi, should I get a t-shirt? My family and I are supposed to spend next weekend in Tokyo, and we were thinking of dropping by Nihon Terebi (where they sell the shirts, I think). I won't be able to wear the t-shirt right away though, LOL! Maybe sometime in September or October?

Actually, when I was in Osaka last month, i saw the t-shirts being sold in a department store on the appliance, CD, DVD, cellphone floor *shrugs*
they were like $16 but i didn't get one >.<

I want to give ARASHI a try but I'm not sure where to start. Any suggestions on songs to try out?

Kitto Daijoubu for suuuuure.

i also like Sakura Sake, A Day in Our Life, & the HYD songs (WISH, Love so sweet, & One Love). :)

well Kaori does know that the song that started it all for me was Kitto Daijoubu

cos back then Ken Hirai mentioned that he was obsessed with it , song & PV wise especially PV wise as he wanted to mimic the dance moves on there :laugh

check it out @ http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoID=37815139

let me know if you want to give their album/s a shot

if time's not on your side , you maybe wanna try their singles which I can recommend some if you want

:hi5 to you Irene

---------------------------

The rating for the 5th episode of Maou - 10.9%

it went up as compared to last week's 10.1% , nice !

Ayumi626, "We Can Make It" did it for me lol i watched the PV and i was HOOKED! ^^ Jun-baited! (i'm sure you'll eventually understand that lol) oh itz so exciting to birth a new baby Arashi fan!! ^^

omigosh! PERFUME VS ARASHI?!?!? AWESOME!
oo! A no Arashi and hypnosis FTW!!!
I always think about that episode from like D not Arashi or something like that when all the members were getting hypnotized and Ohno kept accidentally getting hypnotized even when it wasn't his turn!!! ^^ lol so cute!

Kaori, thats a really cute set you have there! =D

Yay! We get to see A no Arashi. I've missed Aiba's baka experiments~

haha :laugh

I did not like We can make it ! at 1st believe it or not , Raye cos I thought it sounded really bland

all that changed when they appeared at HEYx3 where that infamous stupid inquiry was done during the shooting of the PV in which at that time I didn't know it was We can make it !

I cannot forget the part where Aiba showed 1 of his nipple on the slidescreen show :roflmao

go check it @ http://www.veoh.com/videos/v756623BWkksRS4

Unaired footage - http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1088001Q8aKW3Qt

MatsuJun's so mean ! He said that if not for the band , he wouldn't wanna be friends with Ohno lmao

EDIT -

I finished watching the latest VS ARASHI episode , love the outfits the guys wore . At least it's something different

the male guest is a bit psycho for my liking :dead2

he's too hyper , must be an extreme case of sugar rush :laugh

ehh there's reissue single ONE LOVE in CDjapan
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=JACA-5104

^ those figures that you have posted Ryo are last week no.s

One Love reissue single - it's also listed on YesAsia too

http://www.yesasia.com/us/one-love-h...0-en/info.html

dunno if the cover will be different or not

^ ehh I posted latest update chart,Karen

I'll give their albums a shot!

:D

Go for their 4th - 8th albums since these're the ones that I have listened to

but musically wise to me , their 6th & 7th albums ARASHIC & Time are fantastic

the non singles on their 4th & 5th albums Iza , Now & One are good too

Their latest 8th album Dream"A"live is not bad although you need a bit more time than usual to get used to the non singles because they're not strong & memorable on 1st listen

when i watched the ending of VS arashi, i saw "perfume" on top on the screen, but i din't know they'd be the next guest, haha. that should be funny.

anyway, WHERE IS THE TRUTH PV?! :grumpy

the latest VS ARASHI's stupid . The male guest's a bit ecentric for my liking , my younger sister couldn't stop laughing when she watched it

truth PV - I know it's not out yet :weep

I'm dying to see it NOW

it's a bit odd that there's no preview leak of Kaze no Mukou e PV yet

^ yeah that guy on VS Arashi kind of annoyed me...
and maybe i'm imagining it but it seemed like Sho was annoyed at him too... covering it up nicely by laughing but always trying to get the show back on track lol

i noticed that too about sho, lol. but that guest was CRAZY though. he freaked me out with that elbow thing. :laugh

:roflmao

yes Sakurai was pissed at that guy , you can tell

the part where that male guest sang their debut single's so funny & random :laugh

the end of the show , the guys suddenly fought outta the blue & the male guest was mimic-ing the voice of a policeman lol

:laugh

Irene will be so happy if she sees that :innocent

truth PV - I guess as like what you said , there're quite a couple of previews floating around the net already , I have a hunch it will be out somewhere this week too

maybe on Thurs ? since the reissue of the One Love will commence on that day ? If that's the case , that will be a double whammy of sorts

they have to air it this week ! :yes
I'm tired of the previews...I want to see the PV :luv2

i keep checking the same channels and STILL no airdate. it's gonna air this week, since it's cutting it close already. if JE was smart, release truth's PV this week, kaze no mukou e next week, and then your on the week of the 20th. that's how i see it, lol. i'm seriously soo angry that i check each day and i see nothing listed for "truth".

LOL. i won't be surprised if the PVs come out a week or two before the single's release. :P

i don't think they release them really early unless it's a special unit or debut.

i guess i'll just prepare myself for a long impatient wait. :grumpy

How long I have not been in this thread (3 centuries, maybe? :P)
Ohhhhhhh a new PV coming out
yay!!!!

same for me :grumpy :o

haha :laugh

I kinda have a feeling Thurs might be the day that the truth PV will be released ? Since like what Kaori said , they will be appearing at Utaban & then the reissue of the One Love single will happen on that day too

I'm actually surprised that there's no preview of Kaze no Mukou e PV at all at this point in time , what's going on ?

anyway ...

HQ version of their appearance at SCP last month - http://litany-sh.livejournal.com/31305.html

I managed to download it earlier on . The quality's really amazing & YAY they did Once Again during their last tour :D

Hope to see that being captured on DVD among other things :innocent

Total estimated sales so far - 428,548*

& oh earlier on I was at the supermarket & I was flipping through the latest local chinese weekly magazine called i weekly .

in the j/kpop feature , they ran a 1 page story thingy on Ohno & his scandal . They also printed out the pics too :(

They also talked about him being in Maou as well

hah, one love is still doing great after nearly 2months? or 1 months 10days? iunno

recently, i love their songs. didn't really liked their own songs but truth was O.O amazing... lol if they keep it up, i might become an arashi fanboy :bow39

^That's really good, then we'll have another fanboy on board with us~ Kaori will be happy.. =D

Those are sweet sales! :D

:yatta

One Love has been on the chart for ... 6 weeks & it's still in the top20 . It spent the 1st 5 weeks in the top10 which's amazing

Well hopefully in due time , you will be converted & win over by their music , Michael

I'm sure everyone will be happy over it :innocent

of course :laugh

back then a couple of months ago , she wanted to convert me with their music which she succeeded so hopefully history will repeat itself in a good way again haha

:yatta

One Love is doing so great :yes
still in the top 20 after 6 weeks d(^-^)
Go Arashi!! :D

Chaka Uta ranking :

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...1/DMMAmuro.jpg

oh I didn't know that One Love has overtaken LIPS in sales til you said that :laugh

truth / Kaze no Mukou e - I think it will have a good 1st week sales opening ? It's hard to say because it has been like what 4 years since their last double A side single so it's hard to say

iweekly - me neither since the local magazines in here are quite rubbish by my standard that's why I'm surprised that in the latest issue , they printed that out .

but on the good side of things , a few issues back , they printed the story about HYD Final . 2 pages somemore

Lol, Kaori! You're so loving Arashi! But I'm super glad that you said that~

we all love arashi so much that we want them to surpass KAT-TUN, lol. :P but like kaori, i want one love to surpass DUES too (even though i like DUES a bit more :dead2)

:grumpy

i don't think One Love will be yearly #1 though. HAHAHAHAHA. hah. haha. GReeeeN, SCS, Southern All Stars, & Mr.Children's "HANABI" might just get that spot. :vevilol

i'm glad Arashi's getting the success though. they've been working hard this year! :yes

however, damn. if they get the "Ryusei no Kizuna" theme song...i don't know what i'll do. i'll probably cry for K8. :weep:laugh

yay! keep goin One Love!! ^^
but i hope truth surpasses even One Love!!! it would b awesome if Arashi got yearly #1! ^^
tho i'm actually starting to love KAT-TUN more I hope Arashi beats them!! ^^

but nino is the first lead of the drama, though. and for some reason, i can't picture NEWS or K8 singing a drama theme song. i guess i'm just so used to arashi. :P

yeah, i'll know Arashi would most likely get the theme song. I'M JUST IN DENIAL, 'KAY. :weep or maybe some other non-JE artist will get the theme song. MUHAHAHA. yeah, no. D:

tip off from my younger sister - http://www.mysoju.com/maou/

woo hoo 4 Eng subbed episodes of Maou , going to spend the day later on to watch them :D

I wanna watch them so badly !!! :weep
but I also want to watch Code Blue ....

gosh I hate being restricted to 15Gb, I only have ~10 Gb left....

I think that Arashi will maybe get the theme song
or there is always the possibility of....ryo & nino singing together XD which I think looks kinda weird but who knows? :laugh

another shuji to akira, haha. i'd prefer arashi over nino&ryo singing any day. :laugh but i do wonder how their voices would sound together. :P

that's what I thought XD shuji to akira

yeah I wonder that too. :yes

aw :(

I managed to leech the 4 episodes of Maou from the website earlier on & they're all in flv format

do you want them Minna ? I can upload them for you since flv format files are smaller in size unlike avi format videos

EDIT -

Kaze no Mukou e PV preview download - http://www.mediafire.com/?mamza1pdo4m

credits to arashi clubbox & http://litany-sh.livejournal.com/

oh man Aiba looked really cute in the PV & was it a giant shawl that MatsuJun wore ? :dead2

he must have been taking fashion tips from Nino since Nino also wore something like that in the Step and Go PV

oo! ^^ Kaze no Mukou e PV looks good! Makes me like the song more! ^^
ALL of their hairstyles look SO GREAT right now ^^
Sho w/ capris and Nino playing guitar FTW!! ^^

ooh yes the part where Nino was strumming the acoustic guitar , that was a real surprise & Sakurai's getup's hot :D

but I don't like the fact that it's a studio PV :weep

I was expecting a bit more of Kaze no Mukou e since the preview of truth was amazing in that I thought it might have a summer theme going on but alas :(

hopefully when the full thing's out , my perception towards Kaze no Mukou e will change

thanks for the pv preview ^^

yay seeing Nino with that guitar really made my night better :P

Yay! The preview for Kaze no Mukou e is out! I got the text message telling me so while I was in campus just now~~ yeah, Kaori! We need the full PVs now!

I want Arashi to be singing the theme song to "Ryusei no Kizuna"! I could still put up with it if K8 sings ONE of the theme songs though, if there is more than one~

haha :laugh

ok I do admit that I was disappointed the 1st time I downloaded & saw it but like what Kaori mentioned it's simple & it was a real surprise to see Nino strumming the acoustic guitar away

my younger sister commented that it kinda looked like V6's way of life though

I absolutely love the preview!! Nino + guitar... LOVE!! And Sho looks good! Jun's er... shawl/vest thingie I could do without.

^ Yeah, when I saw Jun in the preview I was like, what the heck are you wearing, Jun?

you're not the only 1 . I think MatsuJun had a bit too much cloth going on in him :laugh

Sakurai's getup was :luv2 & Aiba was really cute & also Nino as well .

truth Eng translated lyrics :



I'm not sure if this's for the whole song or it's just a sample of it but woah I say

EDIT -

OMG :



did my eyes played tricks on me or what ?! O_O
