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.

just saying~ ;)

i think Arashi needs like, an album right now. i'll probably don't like it, LOL, but it just feels like they need one. KAT-TUN, V6, & Hey! Say! JUMP too. ALL OF JE NEEDS ALBUMS.

I'm fighting with you over Kame basically now Irene so :innocent & yes a new ARASHI's album kinda long overdue

I want Green & Season to be in the tracklist

:laugh i feel so lonely. i have like, no claims besides for jun (i don't even think i own him. kaori probbably does :weep) WHY ARE YOU ALL SO CRUEL TO ME?! :weep

i think arashi is totally gonna have an album. the new song "season" in the AU CM has to be for something, since it's not on the "believe" single.

:P

I can share with you , MatsuJun wise :innocent . He's ... #4 on my list :lmfao , he used to be #1 though *mock shock horror*

in Chinese , it's pronounced as 'lan' which refers to the mist that surrounds the mountains

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

Quote:

I didn't get in. In fact many to most fans I met couldn't get in. I saw him for about 1 minute in total, I think, and I just waited the whole day. Everything was just so unorganized, so the staff got mad.

The original plan they had was to have sho and the director come out to the booth and talk at 2:45. Then tickets were going to be handed out at 3. But tickets didn't guarantee a seat at the premiere, they were going to give more than than they had seats so it would be full.

So I get there at 8 and wait 5 hrs until it opens at 1. There were a lot of other fans there, at least 50 around where I was. Then when the door opened we all rushed to the nikkatsu booth and crowded around there. I heard there were about 200 ppl there waiting to get tickets and see sho. But they weren't going to hand out tickets until 3 so we all just waited there all crammed and confused for 2 more hours. They handed out some tickets, I heard, but I think there mightv/couldve been anywhere from 5 to 30 tickets handed out to the ppl in the front but some ppl started pushing and they stopped giving out tickets really quick.

And it was too unsafe for sho to come out to the booth, obviously, so they announced that he would be in a windowed suite room that overlooked the floor and that he'd wave to us for 15 min. So we all crowded around there too and waited for him about 15 min. When he came out, I think there was a ntv camera that was with them and he looked surprised but happy to see so many fans there. A group of girls sang arashi and he kinda bent down to hear it and did the hand motions with us at the end. But he just waved and was there for only a min.

He wasnt going to the panel, so the ppl headed to the theater because we heard that ppl without tickets are able to get in if the seats don't get filled. We waited another 2 hrs. Then sho arrived in a limo, facing us and the light was turned on inside so we could see his face. He looked bewildered. Mostly cuz there was a stupid ***** who ran along side the car right in front of him screaming and waving her uchiwa while all of the rest of us stood on the sidewalk and cheered. Then I went further forward cuz he got out of the limo and was walking to the theater and I couldn't see him at all where I was. I saw a glimpse of his head.

Then we waited for another 20 min to see if ther were any seats open. I think maybe 10 ppl got in a little by little.

It was cool that I met a lot of fans, but it wasnt work all the time and money IMO. There was little info, guarantee and organization basically the only ppl who got in were press ppl and guests and ppl who won it online some time ago.

I didnt even see the director. Ppl got pissed at us. I waited for almost nothing the whole day. And now I'm sure that ppl online are going to call us stupid for all the chaos and dissappointment. The press got to take pics of him and ask him questions up close and get into the premiere. So we will have to wait for their reports to hear anything adequate or interesting
.

^ :dead2

weren't you glad that you didn't went for it Lisa ? it sounded like poor event management happened when that took place

Beauty4123 7th February 2009 03:33 AM

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.

ll moments ll 7th February 2009 03:46 AM

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;;

egad ? Taguchi wasn't there ? why ?

was it because he injuried his back or is it knee at that time ? I forgot :dead2

ll moments ll 7th February 2009 03:58 AM

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;;

rookies 7th February 2009 04:45 AM

I can't wait to see pics from the media coverage of the NY event that Sho went to. :love

arisu_1love 7th February 2009 08:08 AM

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.

Quote:

If I'm not wrong, 'Season' will only be available via a payable download through a cellphone service in Japan, so I doubt it will make it into a future single...

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...

ka♡ri. 7th February 2009 10:13 PM

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

Beauty4123 7th February 2009 10:15 PM

the only thing i'm waiting for in the summer (or spring :innocent) is a new MATSUJUN DRAMA :grumpy

so agree , a new album's needed & prob long overdue alongside with HSJ :grumpy

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

Alice will be fan flaring herself like crazy when she sees Nino in both mags :lmfao

ll moments ll 8th February 2009 05:38 AM

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.

I think DAL seems more of a disappointment than it actually is because it can't compare to TIME, which was so great of an album. The non-single tracks take quite some time to take a liking to. But I don't think it's all that bad after all.

Even the local Teens magazine gave DAL 3/5 & mentioned that the only standout tracks were the singles :S

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

I go to school in Massachusetts, so my friend Jenessa and I got up at about 6:00 am to catch a bus at 7:00am to New York. It took us about, oh four hours to get there. The whole way Jen and I were talking about Arashi and holy crap we're going to see SAKURAI SHO in only a few shot hours. I don't think I listened to any other music besides Arashi's on the way there.

We got to New York at about 12:00pm. We were really annoyed that we'd gotten there so late because we knew that the lines started at 11:00am to get in and we wanted to be as close to the front as we could be. There wasn't anything we could do about it, so we took a cab to the Javits Center and got our Friday passes. I would never have come if Sho wasn't going to be there. I went last year to Comic Con to see T.M. Revolution and we spent the whole day there and it was really boring. Too much comic book stuff, but that was to be expected. So Sho was my one reason for going, despite my other friend's pleading for me to go with them Saturday.

When we got in line to get into the convention hall, we met this really nice girl who was also an Arashi fan. She had even been to Japan to see them live, the lucky duck. We talked together for a while and showed her our signs we'd made. One said, "Sakurai Sho ga daisuki!" (Sakura Sho, I love you!) in Kanji and the other said, "Arashi no naka de, dare ga ichiban kakkoii? Mochiron, Sakurai Sho!" (In Arashi, who is the coolest? Of course, Sakurai Sho!) She thought they were really cool and a few other people in line took pictures of them. While we waited, we saw a few other girls with uchiwa and signs. I was so happy that people had come out to support Sho! I didn't know just how many had come until we actually got into the hall and walked to the Yatterman booth...it was SURROUNDED by girls! Like, CRAZY amounts of people were there, so many more than I think anyone expected. The people at the booth looked a little stressed out and were talking into walkie talkies and just generally looking panicked. I don't think they at all expected this amount of people to show up. They were probably thinking, "Oh, just some J-Pop singer? How many fans could he have in America? Only a few, probably." HA, they were proven wrong. Hopefully this'll show Johnny's that in the future if they want to bring one of their idols to the West, they should plan for a lot of fans.

Some guys walked over to the booth and I'm assuming they were Takashi Miike fans because they looked so shocked by all the girls there. Jenessa had left a little bit earlier to see if she could find a spot closer to the front and she overheard this one guy on the phone saying, "Yeah, I'm at the Yatterman booth. Apparently there's going to be this girly pop singer here so all these girls are blocking the whole thing." She got so mad, she almost turned around and yelled at him.

Where I was, I met a few girls and one of them was trying to get her friend over to the booth, but she couldn't find it. So I held up my sign to help her out. A few guys that looked like either Nihon Terebi or NEWS ZERO camera men were around and one of them saw my sign that said Sho was the coolest and he laughed when he read it. Then he turned his camera to it and filmed it. I hope it ends up on TV! :D

The girls I had met and I were talking about Sho and Arashi and such and I found out that Sho wasn't going to be at the Yatterman panel at 4:00pm. I was annoyed, but one girl said he was filming a segment for NEWS ZERO at Ground Zero which is pretty cool. After that, the guys at the booth told us that it was too dangerous for them to bring Sho down there. Well, obviously. He probably would've gotten trampled and/or mauled by all the fangirls. They told us he was going to be in this glass booth that looked out into the convention hall and that we should all go wait over there and we could do whatever we wanted. Pictures? HELLS YES!!! But no one moved an inch. Most of us couldn't, but even if we could, we didn't want to. There were still tickets to be had! The booth guys figured that out quickly and said that they were going to give out the tickets then. So they started to hand them out, but the girls at the front were pushing and even though everyone was telling them to stop, they didn't. So the booth guys only gave out about 10-30 tickets and then stopped and weren't giving out anymore.

After that, the crowd moved pretty quickly over to the glass booth to see Sho. I held up my sign once when I thought he was coming out and another camera man saw it and filmed it, I was so happy! :D In the booth, there was this one security guard who kept screwing around with us, he would open the door like Sho was coming, but it would be just some random person. The other guys in the booth were all pointing at us and taking pictures. And that stupid guard kept laughing at us! Well, I was making a nasty face so... :hehe: One woman looked so shocked at all of us, it was hysterical. Then this guy from a blog called black20, I think, came over to us and tried to get us all hyped up and jumping and screaming. We were all just like, uuummm, none of us here are 13, seriously. Wait 'till Sho comes out, then you'll see that. There was some talk of flashing, but we kind of disregarded that.

But FINALLY Sho came out! His face was all :blink: holy crap. He was probably told that there were a lot of fans out there, but I don't think he expected quite that many. But he recovered quickly and waved to us while we screamed our lungs out. At one point, some of the girls started to sing A.RA.SHI and everyone joined in. Sho had to lean into the glass to hear it, but at the end he did the little hand thing with us, it was so cute! Total, he was out there for about a minute and twenty seconds. We were so disappointed, but still glad we got to see him. My new friends, Jenessa, and I decided we'd go to the panel anyway and walked over there. When we got in, we got to hear Miike-san talk about Yatterman and we saw the first ten minutes of the movie which looked amazing, by the way.

After that, we figured we had some time, so we went to Kinokuniya and bought some stuff. I finally got my hands on KAT-TUN's Queen of Pirates tour so I was a very happy camper at that point. At about 5:30 we headed up to the theater thinking that there wouldn't be as many people there. Were we ever wrong. The girls and I got in line, but we were pretty far back. We kept telling ourselves that there'd be enough tickets for us to go in, even though we were kind of in denial. We started talking to this guy who had gone to the press panel earlier that day and had gotten to see Sho right up close. He was like, "I didn't even know who he was and you guys love him so much! I feel so bad now!" But he was really nice, so it was all good :lol:

At that point we really didn't think we'd get in and two of the girls we were with left to go to the bathroom and get some food. While they were gone, this guy came over to us and said that he had two extra tickets and he was trying to sell them. Jenessa and I barely hesitated, this was SHO we were talking about here. Afterwards, we felt really bad about it, but if we hadn't taken the offer, we wouldn't've gotten in at all. We went with him and his friend into the theater, they were from Asian Cultural Society or something, we weren't really sure. Once we got in (really early, mind you. Barely anyone had been let in yet), we paid them. Jenessa went up to one guy who worked there and asked him where Sho was going to be sitting and he said up in the balcony, so of course that was where we headed. We asked someone who was already up there where exactly Sho was sitting and they pointed to one of the seats in the front row. We ended up sitting two rows back from him.

Now this part I didn't see, I just heard about it since we weren't outside to see it. Apparently when his limo pulled up, some crazy fangirl was running along it waving her fan. Sho evidently had a kind of scared/shocked face while this was happening, but they got him out of the limo and he waved on the red carpet and went inside where he went down to the mens bathroom to get primped.

Jenessa and I were worried that Sho would end up having his seat switched to the ground floor, but when all the other fangirls filled into those seats, we knew for sure he was going to be up there with us. Then this guy from Subway Cinema (the people who do the Asian Film Festival in the summer) who was wearing an all pink suit (AMAZING <3) had us all do the Yatterman cheer while holding up posters that'd been on the seats. Then Sho and Miike came onto the stage and said a little bit about being happy that so many people came and hoped that we loved the movie and all that jazz.

Then he and Miike walked up to the balcony and sat about 6 FEET from us. Jenessa and I almost fainted. Suffice to say, we didn't watch much of the movie. Well, I did, but she didn't. Every time he so much as moved, she nudged me. He looked really restless because he was fidgeting around a lot. He also looked really tired and was kind of nodding off, but that's to be expected, he probably was still jet lagged and then had to get back on a flight really soon. The movie, by the way, was really good. It was perverted, but it was adorable. And Sho was EPIC CUTE in it. I highly recommend going to see this if you live in Japan or getting it online when it comes out, it was great.

So after the film was over, they had Miike and Sho bow to everyone. First they bowed to those on the ground floor, then to US!!! Right in our general direction!!!! I think I almost died. Then they left to "do their hair" as the pink suited guy put it. So he asked us who was there for Sho and there was a nice high pitched scream let out. That was when we realized that we were two of about five fangirls on the balcony...we really weren't supposed to be there, I think XD But oh well, it was good. Then the pink suit guy asked who was there for Miike and the shout was considerably lower pitched and mostly came from our section.

Then Sho and Miike came out to do a Q&A session. We weren't supposed to take pictures during that, but we took a few sneaky ones anyway. Sho was adorable when he was being asked questions. The interviewer asked, "So what did you think about all the fans that came to see you?" and he said in Engrish, "I was amazed everyone's erections." He was trying to say "I was amazed by everyone's reactions" but it didn't come out that way >w< it was SO CUTE, though. After one more question, he switched to Japanese so he could answer better. The interviewer asked a few more questions about the background of them with the series and such, then they let some of the fans ask questions. One girl asked if Arashi would ever do a concert in America and Sho politely said something like, "I'd like the focus to be on Yatterman." He probably didn't have an answer and wanted to have questions that both he and Miike could respond to. One girl had come from Peru and said she'd brought some of Machu Picchu with her because she knew he wanted to go there. Sho's face was all, "Gimme that RIGHT NOW!" but security had to take it first to check it all out.

So after the session was done, they must've rushed Sho out because when we got out there he was no where to be seen. When we got out of the theater, Jen and I did our little fangirl freak out and these two Japanese ladies came up to us. They turned out to be reporters from this Japanese magazine called "H" (lol ecchi) and they wanted to talk to us about Johnny's and how we'd gotten into them, who our favorites were, why we liked them better than our own American "idols", and stuff like that. They were totally sweet and got our names and took a picture of us. They said the coverage of this event would be in their May issue so we're gonna try to get it. NYCC and the Yatterman premier probably be all over Japanese news soon, so keep an eye out for it.

Then we went to my friends house to spend the night and came home the next day. All in all, it was money well spent and an AMAZING day. Really a once in a life time kind of experience. Being able to sit behind our favorite idol for 2 hours while watching the world premier of his new movie. I don't think I'll ever forget this.

I also created this group on Facebook kind of for the event. All my pictures and videos from NYCC and the premier are going to be put up there soon, so check it out and join! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=47818089341

and the yatterman conference made the new york daily news! i got the newspaper, so i wanna see if it's in here, lol.

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertain...nveils_ne.html

Quote:

I'm guessing this accounts for something...for us "fangirls" to be mentioned in the New York Daily News (which "is the fifth most-widely circulated daily newspaper in the United States" as quoted from wikipedia) alone should be a feat. But the article even mentions Takashi Miike, Sho, and Yatterman which comes as a huge shock to me.

Mistake in the article:
"During an appearance Friday at the New York Comic Con, a convention employee said a huge throng of squealing Japanese girls jammed the floor - preventing Sakurai from getting to a booth for an appearance. Instead, he had to stand in a skybox and wave from the window at his fans."

Correction: We weren't all Japanese...in fact we were a huge mix of cultures and ethnicities alongside many international fans. As for the last part of that paragraph, I guess it's a matter of opinion. The only ones who really know are the staff and security.

Unfortunately, I didn't buy a copy of the physical paper this morning so I'm not sure if there was a printed article on Yatterman/Sho/Miike. I'll see if I can find an unsold copy at my local deli later in the morning.

yeah he said that he was jet lagged & mentioned about Yatterman as well

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

Beauty4123 9th February 2009 12:45 AM

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

ll moments ll 9th February 2009 01:17 AM

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."

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!

rookies 9th February 2009 04:45 PM

^ 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.

arisu_1love 9th February 2009 05:45 PM

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

Beauty4123 9th February 2009 08:09 PM

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

ka♡ri. 9th February 2009 10:12 PM

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)

Beauty4123 9th February 2009 11:05 PM

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

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. :)

yeah I know we have spoken about this via PM a few weeks ago so it's your decision & I respect that

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 ...

Ah, so you're in the rock phase, Karen! I've had that like last two years, maybe? Now I'm just in a pop mood. ^^

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.

I always have been a rock person Alice ever way before I crossed over to jpop 3 years ago (it didn't became a full thing til last year)

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

awesome & yes it's about time Ohno gets that as for the longest time ever , he has been very overshadowed by the likes of the rest

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.

if you realised , ARASHI started out with rock/hip pop roots & their last rock single of release of sorts was Sakura Sake & then it was only last year they started to stray quite a lot from it & venture into a more pop sound

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

Beauty4123 11th February 2009 03:45 AM

...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

♥ you! 11th February 2009 04:03 AM

^ 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

Beauty4123 11th February 2009 04:05 AM

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

ll moments ll 11th February 2009 04:08 AM

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.

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 :(

it's ok Lisa , I don't consider this as fighting & so's Irene

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

Well, I like JE, but I think it's kind of funny when people (fangirls) write "-insert name- is a -insert adjective- person". How would they know? We don't know them personally, so all what's left is judging them through what we see/hear/read, which can all be only an image.

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).

haha

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 @_@

Aga-chan 11th February 2009 11:06 AM

^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

rookies 11th February 2009 11:08 AM

I heard Chisa cried in that J-drama... is it true? :(

:love

Aga-chan 11th February 2009 11:33 AM

^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. ^^;

rookies 11th February 2009 11:39 AM

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.

that happened to be the Secret Talk if I'm right Aga

they had that for Step and Go too

Aga-chan 11th February 2009 11:58 AM

^Yeah, I heard about it, just didn't think I have that. xD

rookies 11th February 2009 12:10 PM

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
