it means "storm" :cool

i'm willing to share~ :laugh
but yeah, that Arashi member is Nino, so Jun is yours, Lisa. ;) it's a good thing you didn't know me...a couple years ago when MatsuJun was on my "husband" list, lol. i hope so! but i'm hoping for a best album too, since it's their 10th anniversary. i honestly wonder what JE's gonna do for them this year. |

arashistorm @ JPM has written up a report on sho at NY today:

|
^ :dead2
weren't you glad that you didn't went for it Lisa ? it sounded like poor event management happened when that took place |
i guess, it sucks that these events hardly go smoothly, though. it was FREEEEZING in NY today, though. and i was half asleep the whole day, so i'd never enjoy myself if i went anyway, lol. sorry sho! now we should just wait for some news coverage.
|
awww, that's too bad.
that kinda reminds me of KAT-TUN in Los Angeles for the Little Miss Tokyo event. but, since it was so unorganized, fans were able to pass through security and bombard the guys, lol. they were in a car though. ...i regret not going. but i wasn't a big fan of them yet. and Junno wasn't there. xD;; |
Quote:
was it because he injuried his back or is it knee at that time ? I forgot :dead2 |
that was because he got called to replace Uchi Hiroki in the j-drama "Ganbatte Ikkimashoi" due to his underage drinking scandal. Junno was supposed to go~
i would think the New York thing would've been more organized since both Sakurai Sho & Takashi Miike were there. i mean, come on, it's Takashi Miike. xD;; |
I can't wait to see pics from the media coverage of the NY event that Sho went to. :love
|
What a disappointment to those who went and waited for a long time, isn't it? I feel sorry for them. Since it was such a big event, they should have made it more organized and expected that something like this would happen.

Full version of Season - http://community.livejournal.com/ara...uki/72542.html
it sounds awesome :smitten , I hope it will be available in their new album alongside with Green AnS subbed - http://community.livejournal.com/ara...uki/72226.html :roflmao it looks stupid from the screenshots , can't wait to see it :laugh DAIGO in ARASHI's Himitsu no Arashi Chan - http://community.livejournal.com/las...ays/36318.html Sakurai in Heroes mag - http://crystalove87.livejournal.com/57895.html I think it's the 1st time I see him wearing such a cap on the cover of a mag |
Ugh - that sucks. They never seem to organize events for asian stars right! I totally wanna see the movie though, that sucks that that person didn't get in. :weep
and omg - New Halves on HnA!! I love those episodes. :bchuck Japanese New Halves are always so pretty - :weep so much more pretty than those over here. And why is DAIGO here again? He creeps me out. :no |
i was just hoping for a full version of "season" and it's already out :thud
i downloaded HnA yesterday, but i forgot to watch it, lol. the new halves and arashi are fun together :P |
|
from JPM, about "season"
Quote:
|
Hmmm, I only heard a little of 'Seasons' from Matsujun's AU CM, so I can't say if I like it or not yet. I hope it's gonna be in the album...
|
We better have an album soon!
they totally surprised me with an April release of D"A"L. I totally wasn't ready for it! I was so used to their summer releases. But I hope we won't have to wait for summer again. :weep |
the only thing i'm waiting for in the summer (or spring :innocent) is a new MATSUJUN DRAMA :grumpy
|
^You're dedicated! O:
Let him take a break girl! He had two movies out last year! @_@ And 2007 was full of his dramas. lol |
lol i'm not dedicated! i'm OBSESSED :weep
but seriously kaori, admit that you want jun to have a drama too :innocent it's just really bothering me that every drama has anyone but him in it :laugh ....i think i need some help. someone take me to the Dr. :dead2 |
Quote:
I do hope their new album will be much much better than DAL , I was quite disappointed with it & somemore it was my 1st ARASHI online purchase too :dead2 it's gonna be hard for the singles to stack up against the album tracks which're already so good on its own The guys Only Star & Josei Seven - http://nimsilver.livejournal.com/1985.html Alice will be fan flaring herself like crazy when she sees Nino in both mags :lmfao |
i find "Season" so dull. :[
and i really hope this album is better than the disappointment that was "Dream'A'live". but i do think the A-sides are better for this album than D"A"L. it's probably due to the fact that D"A"L had 2 singles. JE album tracks generally aren't that great. (same case for "ONE". "Sakura Sake"was amazing, but "ONE" isn't a favorite album of mine.) at least this album's gonna have more A-sides. |

What's up with the sexy wet-shirt-that-clings-to-skin Nino photoshoot!!!! :thud I could seriously die because of blood loss, you know! |

OMG OMG I just realized that the photoshoot in Josei Seven is gonna be in the Arashi calendar!!! Rather slow to realize, I know, but yay!!!!!!!

I was going EH when I found out that Sakura Sake's included in One . No wonder it's named as such :dead2 Quote:

Sakurai in some New York newspaper article - http://amefurift.livejournal.com/46640.html
looking good newscaster ! :thumbsup |
he's in a NY newspaper? it's not the new york times, new york post, or daily news is it? :weep i wish he was in those big papers.

but hey better than zero , geddit ? :dead2 (due to NewsZero) sorry I'm a bit lame in here :roflmao & sometimes my puns doesn't work :bchuck |
lol i got it :laugh i love doing puns too, haha.
oh well, any publicity of sho in NY is good with me :D i was watching the news last night, and they had scenes of comic con, but sho was nowhere to be seen :grumpy |
Quote:
I watched the latest VS ARASHI episode earlier on & it's prob even longer than HYD's :dead2 Having said that , the outfits that they were wearing are :smitten |
yea, i saw that last night, lol. i told you he needs a haircut :laugh the way his hair was styled in the episode, though, was not good :weep i loved it when arashi lost the rolling coin tower game, and sho's mouth was just hanging out, haha.
|
Quote:
for once I'm glad that they lost cos they were getting a bit too big headed :innocent a bit off topic but are you feeling better Kaori since you said last week you were down with food poisoning :S |
there's alot of fancams on YT, but these are the clearest one i found:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4X019kcYd4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq9s0sWUgdw look how he's waving! it's making me cry :weep and sho getting out of the limo :smitten http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p_CtIchbAY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xE24FAPLo4 BTW YOU HAVE TO READ THIS OTHER REPORT! these girls got in to see sho and yatterman!!!

OMFG. I was gonna post all of these!
I'm so slow lately. :weep |
:laugh all i did was read comic con reports this whole afternoon. it was very enjoyable (even though i currently feel horrible...girl stuff :weep) i envy each person who saw sho, lol.
edit: i think i may have posted this before, but omg at ohno and sho! i was crying from laughter from ohno's especially. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSnsQx1hdGQ and a clip of sho at the NYCC: http://ytec304.livejournal.com/5951.html |
I clicked http://ytec304.livejournal.com Lisa & Sakurai's Eng command's good :yes
I can understand him :yatta & he looked sheeplish though haha |
yea, i think he's jet lagged or something, lol. poor guy :weep
i don't understand, though, how he can have very good english prounounciation in his raps, and yet he can't speak it decently :laugh |
Quote:
mm I don't know but to me when I watched that clip earlier on , his Eng command's already good for someone who doesn't speak Eng as a 1st language |
yea, i know he's not bad at it like some artists, but i think his english in raps and arashi songs sound much better, lol. :P i don't care either way, though. he was still cute :smitten
|
English is a very hard language to master, so i think Sho did decently.
it's like me & Japanese. i can read, write OK, & understand the material thus far, but speaking remains my biggest obstacle. especially when i have to think right off the bat. :laugh i have my speaking midterm tomorrow. :weep because Japanese to English (& Vice Versa), you kinda have to re-arrange everything. my friend says it's like speaking backwards, lol. for example, "Gozen juu-ji ni okiru/okimasu." (which means quite literally, "AM 10 o'clock, I wake up.") in English, you can just say "I wake up at 10 o'clock AM." |
Lisa: OMG, those fan reports about the Sho appearance at NYC is sooo long! I'm going to read it when I have the time! Thanks for posting them! :)

is the guys gonna be releasing ANOTHER new single ?!?! :dead2 :tired - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/1355172.html
@_@ @_@ @_@ I don't know about you but the guys need a new album & not another single imo & the title of their supposedly rumoured new single is a bit eh to me |
^ Crazy Jstorm if is truth..., as I already said, I think it's a new album in coming, I wish.....please t_t money.... No *dies*
|
Quote:
|
If the singles released last year plus this newly rumored one is included in the upcoming album, the upcoming album will be loaded with singles!
|
^ How many A-side songs have they released that can be on their next album?
AHS has been down so much in the last hour. Must be because of Ayumi's Rule PV airing really soon. |
Lets see. truth/Kaze no Mukou e, Kumori Nochi, Kaisei/Believe, One Love, Beautiful Days. Already 6 A-sides without including the rumored one.
Hmmm...but looking at it again, it seems ok to have Seasons as another single before the album. It would only add up to 7 A-sides. :laugh |
the CM airs next monday (feb. 16th) i hope the song is good! the title sounds fun :laugh i think it'll be an album track.
btw, where the hell are believe's covers?! :grumpy |
although i don't want another single - it'd be kewl if they released another. i have no problem with new music. it'll probably be a single to hold us off until a summer album. :weep
and the title sounds cool! and maybe they'll have better luck with a KOSE tie-in unlike NEWS. :yes also i updated the first page w/ new GFX. (i was bored, lazy and sick. :yes) |
yea, a new single is always good. but say this KOSE CM song gets released, like...a month or so after believe :dead2 how am i gonna buy both singles in such short time? lol. i doubt that'd happen, though. it'll probbably be at least a 2 month or so break until another single after believe comes out (if no album gets released in the spring). if only the next single would be for a jun drama...:weep
anyway, i still didn't pre-order believe, btw. i'm waiting for the covers :laugh if the regular edition ends up having no arashi on the cover (like truth/KnMe) then i gotta buy it anyway. dedicated fan :cool |
Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
regardless of how ugly or great the covers are , I'm still getting a copy to show my support to them :yes |
oh geez another (possible) single...talk about overkill.
it better be up to par with "Believe". that is all~ |
Quote:
I'm a bit sad that the chances of them putting out another truth is zlich :( , it was seriously good & for them to put out something like that in due time , I don't know if that can happen again or not |
xD;;
it's not that i hate Arashi or don't care about them, but i've definitely feel very detached from the Arashi fandom ever since they've gone in a direction that i don't really particularly like. well, just the music anyway. idk, i think sooner or later, they'll be a JE group i occasionally listen to. their j-drama work and their other activities are great! & i appreciate each member, especially Neenermiya. :) |

I sometimes kind of feel detached from JE fandom in general. xD ^^;
Whether there will be a single or an album, new songs are always nice. Hope it will be a good song. ^^ |

Quote:
similarly in recent times I also somehow began to feel a bit detached from them , musically . Blame on the fact that I got so much angst in me so much so that I have pumping myself too much rock music (ala BREAKERZ , KAT-TUN , abingdon boys school , a bit of GLAY , L'Arc en Ciel T_T) but it doesn't change the fact that I still support them but it's not as much/intense as before ANYWAY before a virtual fight erupts on here ... Sakurai in nihon eiga navi 2009 vol.14 mag - http://community.livejournal.com/ara...74.html#cutid1 1 word - WAH O_O |
Quote:
Nino said that Ohno's gonna be in a PV for Kumori Nochi, Kaisei by himself. It's his solo debut, finally! He should be more recognized as a vocalist. Somehow I feel like 2009's gonna be Ohno's year. Look how he's riding the wave now. |
Quote:
anyway I understand on where Kaori & Lisa are coming from since they're probably the 2 biggest ARASHI fangirls in AHS :laugh alongside with you I mean haha so it's ok no harm done anyway for me I join Irene on the KT bandwagon where nowadays we're always engaging on a never ending fight over Kame :lmfao *joke :bchuck & that prob might go for Okura sooner or later :roflmao Quote:
|
I think Ohno should change his name to Ohyes, if he wants to get more girls to like him. :love :rofl
|
i wonder what the PV will be like if ohno's the only one in it, lol. i want a PV preview of "believe" already :weep
|
Quote:
And I want the PVs and covers now omg. :weep Also - TBH, I don't see how Arashi's gone into a direction. I don't see that at all. If anything, they get better with each single unlike a lot of other JE groups. They're the only ones who really seem to experiment and not spit out the same type of music with every single. That's what I love about them. So I really don't see how they've gone into a direction.... but anyways ... w/e. |
after hearing sho's english again, it really isn't that bad! lol. he's got pronounciation down for sure :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSdP_xmDNrE i could watch this all day, lol. i love arashi boys getting attention outside of japan :laugh |
Quote:
maybe because Irene & I are very much into rock music that's why we probably am a bit nit picky about this aspect . I suppose her music interest in ARASHI might return back if they were go back to their original rock/hip pop roots ANYWAY ... Nino in au CM - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/1360669.html & looks like it's season & not Season now The cat scares me a bit in the ad :dead2 |
...i feel some sort of tension going on in here, lol. let's all breathe, okay? :laugh i personally love rock music myself, but i absolutely LOVE what arashi has been putting out lately, even though it's pop. but honestly, to me, i feel as if their sound is different in each single release. obviously it's pop, but it's still different. like one love and BD, for example. pop sounding, but it's really different. even WISH aand LSS sound different, and yet it's all basically one genre...pop. no group can just stay with a sound that they debuted with. i think you gotta experiment througout the career. plus, arashi wasn't as popular back in 1999/2000s like they are now (please correct me if i'm wrong, i'm not 100% sure :dead2), so maybe their current sound is attracting more fans. which would explain 2008's amazing sales :D
yea, i made no sense, lol. but i don't want anyone fighting over here. :yes it kinda makes me upset, haha. so anyway, nino's CM was good, but thankfully he got a haircut, because his hair didn't look so good in the CM, to me at least. and that cat was creepy, karen, lol. i agree. i saw AnS tonight and they kept playing namie's "NEW LOOK", lol. and sho was dressed up as a cat. nya nya nya~ :laugh ....and just when i finish typing this whole thing, "AHS is temporarily unavailable. Please check back later" :grumpy beware of my typos :laugh oh and also, to ease up the thread a bit, WHERE ARE BELIEVE'S COVERS AND PV PREVIEWS?! :laugh (i know, that wasn't really a calm thing to say right now, but i'm impatient! :laugh) .....end of lisa's waaaay too long of a post. i should be studying for my holocaust midterm :innocent |
^ well you are right for the most part! Arashi was pretty popular in 1999/2000 cause they were still a new group. Around 2002-2004 was pretty rough for them. Their singles struggled to sell 200k and their 2003 album How's it going? didn't even pass 100k :shakehead but yeah as time went on they just kept getting more and more popular.
Arashi moves too fast for me another single already? The pv for Believe isn't out yet right? :confused |
if the PV was out, trust me, you'd see me post it by now, lol. :laugh all i want is a PV preview, JE. :weep pleaseeee sooon. :tipsy
|
i don't think there's tension (at least i don't think there is? LOL). us JE fangirls are just very vocal & opinionated! xD;;
& yeah, like Karen has said, i've always liked the heavier side to music. it's what ultimately makes me like KAT-TUN more than others. but i don't mind experimenting or changing styles, but it's just...i don't like Arashi's current style/direction/what you want to call it. it's just a personal preference. i much prefer their earlier works up until Time. i LOVE Time...and it's a pop album! i don't mind pop, but it has to go with my personal preference. i mean, my 2nd favorite JE group is KANJANI8. and they're not even close to KAT-TUN's style at all. & don't get me wrong, i'm proud of Arashi's success. they're doing something right seeing as they're selling a lot. but i do like for them to realize that they got fans of their older material as well. i'd be happy for another track like "A Day in Our Life" every once in a while. ONLY ONE. YOU CAN MAKE IT AN ALBUM TRACK, I DON'T CARE. and i'd be happy, honestly. lol. like K8 does their crazy crack thing for the A-side, but they do other material for album tracks/b-sides. anyway, that's my 2 cents. |
Quote:
no doubt that I'm now more KT inclined music wise & then some :lmfao but it still doesn't change the fact that I still love/support ARASHI I'm going to get Believe / KNK OK & my younger sister said that if the covers for the CD + DVD's are nice , she's going to get both when the OS presses are out :lmfao Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
|
i'm sorry to mistake it as fighting or something :( but i'm trying to make sure we're all on the same page (literally, LOL) so i don't want really big and heated discussions between us fangirls :P but no one here really fights, so i dunno why i even thought it was fighting in the first place.
lisa's sorry :( |
Quote:
I guess it will be if either 1 of us will start slamming the guys & said that KT's better & that sorta thing so it's ok :) somemore all of us are grown up's so we'll see it in a different angle/light :laugh & oh I want to add on what Irene said in that Time's just magical :yes |
no worries Lisa. :D
our "arguments" are somewhat tame...in comparison to ones i've seen, anyway. LOL. i'm looking at you, LiveJournal communities. |
http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/1360385.html
:roflmao has Sakurai been watching Uta no Oii-san secretly ? :laugh YAY 3rd episode of Uta no Oii-san's up via MySoju - http://www.mysoju.com/uta-no-oniisan/episode-3/part-1/ |
Quote:
And despite KAT-TUN making rock music, they're no rock artists. They fall into the pop category like everyone else in JE. What gives them the possibility to "experiment" is the fact that they're pop!! Same goes for Arashi. It's the same group that released the overly sugared "One Love" and then "truth". For me, Arashi's quite consistent lately. NEWS sometimes has better B-sides than A-sides/album tracks and I don't usually like KAT-TUNs B-sides that much and many of their overly pop-ish tracks make me cringe. I can't make myself listen to "On My Mind", but I like "D-T-S" (its chorus is so pop). |
A while ago , RIAJ awarded Platinum status to Beautiful days for shipment of 250,000 copies & now it has been changed to Double Platinum status for shipment of 500,000 copies in Japan - http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/gold/200901.html
Congrats guys :D & I finished watching the 3rd episode of Uta no Oii-san already earlier on |
Congrats to them!!! :)
|
I want UnO-san 4. NOW.
His ex is so annoying, though. Stupidlksdfcbsjhx. >_< But I love her clothes. lol I want her jacket. ^.^ And, congrats to Arashi. |
Quote:
yeah Chisa's very pretty in the show & also in GIRL NEXT DOOR's PVs , too bad she can't dress for nuts in their live performances & let alone in their debut album :dead2 I hope STORMYSUBS will upload the next episode soon & when I was watching the 3rd episode , that arrogant prince has been dismissed already :lmfao but yet that stupid princess reminds which strangely's like the female version of that prince @_@ |
^The princess isn't as bad as the prince, though. She's kinda arrogant, but also kinda tries to help. She's not gross. She's kinda cute looking. And she's not gross.
Did I already say that she's not gross!!? :P |
I heard Chisa cried in that J-drama... is it true? :(

did you see his outfit that he wore outside of work ? eew tacky much ? Quote:

-------------- Nino's Drama SP DOOR TO DOOR is airing on March 29th!!! http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-4372 :love |
^It IS fake. She's acting. lol
I just listened to the "Wasurerarenai" instrumental and wondered why the track is so long. And then I noticed that I have the one with the talking at the end. lol Took me a while to notice that. *coughs* I'm a little(!!??) slow. ^^; |
I'm so glad AHS has been working so well today. Guess all the leechers are gone now, now that the Rule PV has aired and they've been able to download it, LOL.
----------- I've always wondered about crying in J-dramas... the way they use those eye drops solution, and how they are able to make it so that they cry on the spot in the exact moment that they need to.. LOL. |

they had that for Step and Go too |
^Yeah, I heard about it, just didn't think I have that. xD
|
I have a question: Does anyone know about that place called BOOK-OFF? I heard it's some really big Japanese magazine/CD/etc. store that is located worldwide...
I was thinking of going to my local BOOK-OFF store and that stuff, but is it second hand store? That's what I heard it was. :( And uggh... we really need to create some sort of thread on Japanese Stores or something in the Asian Chat section.... or a question thread... XD I'm only posting here, cus I have no other place to ask. :( You know what, I'll just create the threads right now... but can someone answer my question? XD |
