Okkkk I know I'm late but I just heard some of Truth XD (like more than the like 20 seconds I heard of it before)
Hmm...it's all right...I much prefer One Love + Step and Go to Truth. I don't know, maybe it's the atmosphere of the song that's just not doing it for me...I dunno, One Love was really great and it feels like Truth isn't exactly up to par.
That's just me anyway

Those 24 hour terebi dramas are always so hard to watch, because of all the emotional content. I really hope Jun does a great job!! And it'll be fun to see him act with Karina again!

EDIT: Holy CRAP!!! According to 2 Arashi Vox Blogs, Arashi will sing the theme song of the Beijing Olympics for NTV!!! There will be more details tomorrow on NTV's morning show Zoom In Super. I'm definitely tuning in!!!

haha :laugh

I think truth fits the whole theme/concept of Maou really well

it will be a bit strange if they come up with another upbeat/poppy tune for Maou though

Finally i dun see "them" in top ten.
But kinda sad to see One Love dropping from 1 to 10

them - haha :laugh I know what you mean , both their songs also dropped a LOT considering that this week , major onslaught feast of new singles

9 new entries 1st day in the top10 :O

but it's quite a shock that One Love took a rather big nosedive :weep

I hope when 3rd week sales are racked up , One Love will suppress Step and Go's sales , hopefully !

last I checked , estimated total sales of Step and Go from wiki's about 374,449 copies while currently sales of One Love's about 365,989 so yes high chance that can happen :D

I'm not 'crying' over One Love but I was quite stunned when it plummet from no.1 to no.10

I guess I wasn't expecting a huge batch of new releases to hit this week that's why

but I'm really happy that in due time sales of One Love will suppress Step and Go & that both singles will chart really well at the end of the year

yea, but the lyrics are in japanese, lol.

anyway, once i watch maou again, i'll watch koizora, okay kaori? :yes

and BRING ON A TRIPLE A-SIDE SINGLE, PLEASE! :innocent

AH! Truth is amazing!!! and Maou will be too! I have a feeling itz gonna be one of my fav dramas ever!
and yes, Sho's english is adorable! ^^

a bit more info of matsujun's drama...

sorry if it was posted already. :P

thanks lisa =)

wow that drama sounds pretty sad. but I have to say that I can't wait to hear more about it

I just read from another site that my baby Junny will be starting in a emo (does dat stand for emotional? XD) drama. I can't wait to see it. :yes When it comes to disabilities, the japanese wasted no time find the most saddest ones. :cry

omigosh! that drama is gonna be so freakin sad!!! wife and 2 yr old daughter?!?!? Jun is gonna be a really cute daddy!!! >.< *crying already* lol

Omg.. not another teary drama again... i cried so hard when i watched 1 litre of tears... Jun as a father... Otousan?!! This i gotta see...

truth is really a nice song... somehow the feeling of hearing this song reminds me of taiyou no namida from NEWS... (okay.. i think that is just me.. T_T)

Roughly...

Arashi will be singing the NTV Beijing Olympics program theme song. The song is titled "Kaze in mukou e" (「風の向こうへ」, which will go on sale on August 20th 2008.

YAY!!!!!!

yay! that's really great :D

so there would be a new single ? are they going to put truth on it too?

WHOA. wait. so, will this be a single release? i'm guessing since JE doesn't go digital.

...double A-side, maybe? because, i can't imagine them putting "truth" as another single. SO MANY NEW SONGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO, WOW.

truth better be an a-side too. but i'm happy something is released in august and not september.
