A・RA・SHI FOR DREAM ! ~The 9th Thread~
 

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y23...IAHSGROUP2.jpg
Welcome To The Ninth Official Arashi Thread !



If I had to sum up this group in one word, it’d be “loveable”. They’re not an average boy band that bops around stage and lip syncs their songs while dancing provocative dances. The Stormy Boys are known and respected for their many works outside of the music world. Because of these ventures, their popularity has risen and keeps rising as their tenth anniversary nears.

What other boy band do you know that has balanced an extremely successful music career with acting careers and TV hosting careers? Not many, right? Over the course of their time in Johnny’s Jimusho, the Arashi boys have been in numerous successful dramas, hosted 11 shows (currently hosting three) and broadcast a weekly radio program. If that’s not hard work, I don’t know what is.

Things for the group haven’t always been so happy. Back in 2004, Aiba suffered pnuemothorax, the collapse of one lung due to immense pressure change in the chest cavity, which set the group back. Although Aiba felt he was just bothersome to the other members while he was hospitalized, the others thought otherwise. Even though he limited their promotional activities, all they thought about was his recovery. There’s also been scandals, like the one involving Nino and Masami Nagasawa and their “dating”. The incident got so serious, that jealous fans who bought tickets to their Time concert last summer had planned to get up and leave the venue when Nino began to sing. And of course we can’t forget Aiba’s scandalous photos being leaked by his ex-girlfiend. You know, the ones with him lying shirtless in bed with her? Aiba was almost suspended from Johnny’s for incident! And the recent fracture of Sho’s thumb during a rehearsal has risen fears for his health during their ever strenuous schedule. Although Arashi has had a few setbacks, they still continue to press forward!

But music is their primary focus of course, and their musical career has been nothing but an achievement. They debuted with their first single “A·RA·SHI” in November of 1999 and this single went on to become the highest first week single sales by a group. They held this award for seven years until KAT-TUN’s debut, “REAL FACE”, overtook it. Seven years is amazing, ne? And their musical success just hasn’t stopped yet, with the second highest single of last year and the current third highest selling single this year, Arashi’s music popularity is going great.

Although it may seem like the boys are serious workaholics, their fans recognize them as a group full of dorks. And these dorks happen to be the best of friends and have been for over 9 years. They aren’t just actors, singers, hosts, or performers - Arashi is a simply a family.

Beauty4123 25th June 2008 12:34 AM

24 hour terebi? something like that. :P

KaoriNeko 25th June 2008 12:40 AM

When does that air, BTW. I don't even know.

ll moments ll 25th June 2008 01:06 AM

ummm, it should be. in july/august? maybe? i'm not so sure.

it should be late summer or early fall.

yatsuda 25th June 2008 02:46 AM

Yay yay for the new thread and the awesome introduction!! Great work (as always!) Kaori-chan!!

24-hour Terebi is from August 30th 6:30pm to August 31st 8:54pm. (Johnny's Net http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...dia/media.html)

Again, I read on Vox (from Tenjo Style: http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...dia/media.html) that a new single will be released on August 27th: truth and green!!!!!! I hope it's true!!

YEAH!!! My Arashi singles just came to my door!! Can't wait to listen to them!!!

KarenPang 25th June 2008 02:59 AM

wow new thread already O_O

I like the title of the new thread Kaori :D

look at what I got here -> http://crystalove87.livejournal.com/13114.html

KaoriNeko 25th June 2008 03:05 AM

Let's make this thread less spammy. I don't want it to become an old Kuu thread or even worse - The NEWS Thread. O.O;
:D OK? Thanks. <3

yatsuda;; I saw that too! I hope it's true!

ll moments ll 25th June 2008 03:09 AM

yes, less spam would be nice, okay? :) i honestly cannot keep up with the Arashi/NEWS threads when i'm gone fore like, 1 1/2 days from the internet! CRRAH-ZEE.

wow, Arashi keeps pumping out those singles!

KaoriNeko 25th June 2008 03:12 AM

Which is kind of odd, they never used to release so frequently! I wonder if they'll pull an ayu and have another album out by the end of this year!? :shrug

Did everyone like the single?!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
How to fly is so - different. I love it!
And don't even get me started on the FINAL remix, it's just pure awesomeness.

haha of course

honestly it has been a very long time since I last enjoyed a single throughly

it's the 1st time I heard ARASHI's b side & How to fly is quite different from One Love

FINAL REMIX - <3 :love

EDIT -- a bit random here but currently where I'm at , an ARASHI is brewing :roflmao

Beauty4123 25th June 2008 03:20 AM

OMFG august singles? YES! i can never get enough arashi, lol. pleeeease be true!

ll moments ll 25th June 2008 03:23 AM

i think i need to play "How to fly" a couple more times. i keep forgetting how it goes like. LMAO. but i love "One Love"! i can't wait for sales!

i love the RMX too! it's boss, yo.

KarenPang 25th June 2008 03:30 AM

I hope One Love's sales will be good

it will be a bit silly if Shuuchishin's new single were to do well :no

I'm still quite peeved that their debut single of the same title can outsell Step and Go & NEWS's Taiyou no Namida :S

yatsuda 25th June 2008 03:32 AM

I *really* enjoyed the Remix!!! It's really nicely made!! Love the instruments... like the piano in Love so sweet and the brass in One Love!!!

How to fly is different, but I love it!!!

sorta cos no thanks to Yatsuda after I saw the pics of how the One Love singles looked like , now I'm considering whether to buy them or not LOL

but I have a feeling that the local HMV will import the regular edition over though since the limited edition has the DVD which they can't import it over due to censorship reasons

if that happens , I might buy the Japan pressing of the regular edition while I order the limited edition

hmm ... I see how

"well you'll see uh?" - haha yes Minna because I'm considering to get Anna Tsuchiya's 2nd album which contains all the songs that she did for the NANA anime that's why

ebay site - I think it's judging from the ebay site although I can't help but wonder why they only put MatsuJun in the stickers :laugh

Wow , it's higher than Step and Go's 1st day sales of 107,689 copies , GO GO GO !

NO.. Step&Go first week sales is higher than ONE LOVE.. first day STEP & GO 200K more copies sold

umm i think hard for them to outsell Thelma T__T

yatsuda 25th June 2008 02:14 PM

Well I'm happy they're #1!!!! Congratulations, Arashi!!!
But... I'm surprised OL didn't do better than SaG on its first day. It's so much superior to the latter!

er guys you didn't see my post clearly

I say that the 1st day sales of Step and Go was 107,689 , not the 1st week

you mean 1st day sales of Step and Go was higher than One Love ?

in anycase doesn't matter , I'm sure One Love is a shoo win for the no.1 spot

TITANIC 25th June 2008 03:20 PM

^ eeww sorry.. i meant first day sales Step&go is higher than ONE LOVE..
ONE LOVE sold 130K in first day and Step%go sold 200K.first week sales is more than 350K

I mean the promo stickers

if not for the fact that I have ordered the OS press of the 2 CDs DAL , I don't mind to get it from ebay

Those aren't promo stickers. I wouldn't buy that if I were you.
Those stickers are actually just promos from Jun's movie last year, "Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru".

Step and Go's first days sales were 188,456 copies. The first WEEK sales were 200k higher, not the first day. One Love is just 50k lower than Step and Go, but I'm sure it can catch up.

Luv ~Venus~ 25th June 2008 05:22 PM

riozz....how dare you argue with JE momma? Watch it dammit or else catch hell from me! :bringit

I AM SO HAPPY THAT ARASHI DESTROYED THE COMPETITION AGAIN. :evillaugh Zachery! had the nerve to say that Shushi(?) was going to beat them. He has no freaking idea that ARASHI owns all the fangurls in Japan. :bchuck I hope they can chart in the top 10...and maybe even go #1. It's been hard to take down Thelma. *sighs* I miss the days when it was so easy to get 400k-500k in the first week. :cry

KaoriNeko 25th June 2008 05:53 PM

I was scared that Shuuchishin would outsell them too, but they're 80k behind! So yay~ I'm sure they'll have a weekly number one, I believe in them! But I think Shuuchishin may just outsell them in the end since their singles somehow sell for a really long time. But hopefully they can knock Thelma out of the yearly single spot. I hate her~

Luv ~Venus~ 25th June 2008 06:01 PM

^But how can you judge all of that from one single? :think Besides they were up against Ayumi. Her fanbase isn't that hardcore as ARASHI's fanbase. I mean, if you pit the two together, ARASHI would kill her. :bchuck I have faith that my babies will be #1 for the rest of the week. :yes

dddaiyamondo 25th June 2008 06:35 PM

This single will not do as well as S&G, but it will do really well. Good for them.

ayupi 25th June 2008 07:25 PM

yay congratz to Arashi @ no.1! ^^

i hope it will be like Love so sweet where it stays in the top 20 for a loooong time! ^^

KaoriNeko 25th June 2008 07:30 PM

Love so sweet sold all the way until the end of the year, huh?
It did really well~

ayupi 25th June 2008 07:40 PM

^ oh it did? o_o
well hopefully One Love can pull of something like that then ^^

ll moments ll 25th June 2008 09:12 PM

yay~ congrats to Arashi! :D

but, yeah. "S&G" was higher, wasn't it? i don't get that single's success to be honest, even if i liked it. but whatever, "One Love" is doing great! :yes

♥ you! 25th June 2008 09:14 PM

Haha I'm glad they outsold Shuuchishin. One Love is love :luv2

naxxo.licious™ 26th June 2008 12:50 AM

NO WAY

Has One Love already leaked :cry?? OMG i haven't listened to it :(

minna 26th June 2008 12:51 AM

naxxo.licious™ 26th June 2008 12:59 AM

Yes, i'll do it right now. BTW, has Hana Yori Dango F already come out?

And please avoid spoilers!! I HATE them lol!

Beauty4123 26th June 2008 01:10 AM

naxxo.licious™ 26th June 2008 01:21 AM

DDDDDDDDDDD:

OMG in three days! I wonder when will we be able to see it tho :(. We'll have to wait until the dvd is released and someone subs it.

Maybe it will be on december...

ll moments ll 26th June 2008 01:23 AM

yeah, i don't think it will be out for a while. (subs/HQ, i mean) there might be a theater-rip, but i like my things HQ. haha.

HI NACHO! :)

naxxo.licious™ 26th June 2008 01:32 AM

^ Exactly, i wanna see it HQ as well. I mean, it's the ending of the series for god's sake. I'm not gonna ruin it with a cheap theatre rip

for me I was also worried that Shuchishin will overtake ARASHI cos honestly I don't really like them but at least after everyone already knew the 1st day sales , everyone already can sleep in peace now :laugh

but thanks for the photobook! i'm still wondering if i'm gonna DL it, haha.

These songs hooked me but I think someone like Kaori should come who's more experienced with Arashi than I am :yes

^ don't worry amai! It's 12:11 am here so I'll listen to NEWS when I wake up. like a surprise!

everybody forgot happiness :weep

ah we are in the same timezone XD

I KNEW YOU'D COME!!!
Spoiler:
j/k! :laugh I think that's why everyone thinks I'm crazy.


Er - three recommendations? This is gonna be hard!!!! :doh

1. Kitto Daijoubu (a good intro song to Arashi)
2. We Can Make It ! (another good Arashi intro song)
3. Oh Yeah! (just an awesome song)

Those are some of their newer songs, but their older stuff is definitely great. But I suggest newbies listen to the newer stuff first. :yes

Irene;; a Day in Our Life = :heart

minna;; OMG! Happiness is so much fun! the PV is the best!!


And yes, Donovon - Bozu, go to the KAT-TUN thread too! :D

the rest of the singles that they have released are fantastic as well but these 3 stood out especially Kitto Daijoubu

Step and Go's first days sales were 188,456 copies. The first WEEK sales were 200k higher, not the first day. One Love is just 50k lower than Step and Go, but I'm sure it can catch up.

eww.. i thought first day 200K.. first week sales 324,223

KarenPang 26th June 2008 11:01 AM

2nd day sales of One Love :

SINGLES
x->1->1 - Arashi - 74,610 + 46,713 (x1.75) = 212,315
x->2->2 - Shuchishin - 32,080 + 23,828 (x1.75) = 97,839
x->3->3 - Porno Graffitti - 13,784 + 10,613 (x1.75) = 42,695

Amai Yume 26th June 2008 11:02 AM

HA!
Suchishin is DESTROYED!!!!!!!!
Go Arashi!!!
Although...Suchishin's sales didn't fall as much as Arashi's did, which kinda fell by a lot

according to the sales figures that you provide :

x->1->1 - Arashi - 74,610 + 46,713 (x1.75) = 212,315
x->2->2 - Shuchishin - 32,080 + 23,828 (x1.75) = 97,839
x->3->3 - Porno Graffitti - 13,784 + 10,613 (x1.75) = 42,695

yup kinda expected that ARASHI's 2nd day sales were to drop a lot as usually fangirls will snap up the most on the 1st day

I'm surprised Shuchishin's 2nd day sales only fell by a mere 9K +

but anyway it doesn't matter , One Love's bound to be no.1 in the weekly chart

only thing's I suspect it will not be as high as Step and Go's 1st week sales

I still can't believe their debut single can outsell Mirrorcle World in the long run even though the trio lost the top spot on the weekly chart

OMG YES!!! THOSE SALES ARE AWESOME!!
Who cares about the dip in sales, it's obvious that Arashi has this week SEALED.
OMG, One Love is gonna outsell NEWS' last two singles in like a day or two! :yatta

THEY ARE?!

:dead2

now i can't waittt. i saw CMs of the movie on TBS last night and they had the one love PV in the TV that makino was watching, i think, lol. it was something like that. their airing the movie CMs like crazy!

KaoriNeko 26th June 2008 05:19 PM

I can't wait to see how the movie does this weekend!

ayupi 26th June 2008 07:51 PM

Here are the press conference videos for "Maou" ^^

http://community.livejournal.com/ikuta_toma/213276.html

you can hear "Truth" in the background!
It's on sale August 27th with GREEN as it's other track ^^

KaoriNeko 26th June 2008 08:05 PM

XD! I love how the lady thought Riida was from V6 at first. His face was so priceless~

I like how Truth sounds, I wanted a more rock-ish song, but it's definitely different from their other pop stuff. I'm glad they're experimenting. :D
I can't wait to see Maou!!!!


P.S. - Toma looks effing hawt ~

ayupi 26th June 2008 08:12 PM

^ lmao yay
Poor Ohno xD
i still can't figure out how she got it confused really :innocent
i mean she was filming the drama with him right? xD

same here! i like how the voices are like overlapping...it sounds really cool ^^

Beauty4123 26th June 2008 08:48 PM
