The 「 truth 」 ~Arashi Thread 10~
http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/333/arashivv6.jpg 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. _MEMBERS Ohno Satoshi (大野智) http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/5063/ohnowz2.jpg - Oldest Arashi member - Even though he's the oldest, he's looks like one of the youngest, ne? - He was chosen to be Arashi's leader through a Rock-Paper-Scissors game, he still wishes Sho had won instead of him. - A known mama's boy, it's been said that he still allows his mother to buy clothes for him. - Also known as Riida or Captain - Has been known for his amazing artistic ability, allowing him to even tour Japan with his art exhibit, "Freestyle" which has also spawned a successful photobook. Aiba Masaki (相葉雅紀) http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/5464/aibaus8.jpg - Arashi's animal lover, which explains his weekly appearance on Tensai! Shimura Dobutsuen to play with wild animals - He's been known for his expert English. - He's also a little ditzy, deciding to join Johnny's only with the dream of meeting his idol Miyake Ken and playing basketball with SMAP. - He's known affectionately to fans as Aibaka for his often stupid statements of the obvious and such. - He did his first solo butai last fall, which got great reviews by the critics - He has a large birthmark that covers his left should to his upper arm, he likes it, but hates it when editors airbrush it out. Sakurai Sho (櫻井翔) http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/3075/shoya6.jpg - Sho is known as Keio Boy throughout Johnny's Jimusho since he attended the prestigious college. - He set the example for many of his kouhai that it's possible to attend college and still work, now many kouhai are attending university. - Although he looks the most manly in Arashi, Sho is actually the biggest scaredy-cat. - Hosts the popular news show, News ZERO, which he'll be covering the 2008 Olympics for. - He writes all of the raps for Arashi's songs - He studied English in university, so his pronunciation is really good. He also took Chinese in Junior High. Ninomiya Kazunari (二宮和也) http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9436/ninoto5.jpg - The prankster of Arashi - Has made his Hollywood debut in Clint Eastwood directed film, "Letters from Iwo-jima", which won him loads of praise - Has composed and written many of his solo songs. - He's a confessed game freak, he's been known to play his DS for hours. - Knows how to play both piano and guitar very well. - Is ambidextrous, but prefers to use his left hand. Matusmoto Jun (松本潤) http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/4842/junup8.jpg - The fashionista of ARASHI, in fact: He didn’t like the HYD curly hairstyle because of the fashion problems it posed on him. When he was on set, it was fine because he had costumes, but once he was out, he couldn’t find anything in his wardrobe to compliment his curly hairstyle. - Matsujun is considered an elite in Johnny's, because he is one of the three in his batch to join Johnny's Entertainment without having to audition. - He's been known to be the "bait" for for Arashi, bringing in fans with his good look and acting ability. - He's the most serious in Arashi about their work, he wants everything to be perfect for them. - The youngest member of Arashi. _DISCOGRAPHY Albums * [2001.01.24] ARASHI No.1 ~Arashi wa Arashi wo Yobu~ (ARASHI No.1〜嵐は嵐を呼ぶ〜) | #1 | 323,030 * [2002.05.16] ARASHI Single Collection 1999-2001 | #4 | 141,670 * [2002.07.17] HERE WE GO! | #2 | 147,520 * [2003.07.09] How's it going? | #2 | ??? * [2004.07.21] Iza, Now (いざッ、Now) | #1 | ??? * [2004.11.10] 5x5 THE BEST SELECTION OF 2002←2004 | #1 | 170,000 * [2005.08.03] One | #1 | 147,970 * [2006.07.05] ARASHIC | #1 | 157,838 * [2007.07.11] Time | #1 | 280,002 * [2008.04.23] Dream"A"live | #1 | 286,897 *STILL CHARTING Singles * [1999.11.03] A・RA・SHI | #1 | 973,310 * [2000.04.05] SUNRISE Nippon / HORIZON (SUNRISE 日本) | #1 | 405,680 * [2000.07.12] Typhoon Generation (台風ジェネレーション) | #3 | 361,100 * [2000.11.08] Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi (感謝カンゲキ雨嵐) | #2 | 362,490 * [2001.04.18] Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru (君のために僕がいる) | #1 | 323,020 * [2001.08.01] Jidai (時代) | #1 | 354,460 * [2002.02.06] a Day in Our Life | #1 | 378,050 * [2002.04.17] Nice na Kokoroiki (ナイスな心意気) | #1 | 239,730 * [2002.10.17] PIKA☆NCHI | #1 | 184,388 * [2003.02.13] Tomadoi Nagara (とまどいながら) | #2 | 175,290 * [2003.09.03] Hadashi no Mirai / Kotoba Yori Taisetsu na Mono (ハダシの未来 / 言葉より大切なもの) | #2 | 222,687 * [2004.02.18] PIKA★★NCHI DOUBLE | #1 | 136,355 * [2004.08.18] Hitomi no Naka no Galaxy / Hero (瞳の中のGalaxy) | #1 | 256,187 * [2005.03.23] Sakura Sake (サクラ咲ケ) | #1 | 172,737 * [2005.11.16] WISH | #1 | 303,812 * [2006.05.17] Kitto Daijoubu (きっと大丈夫) | #1 | 204,190 * [2006.08.01] Aozora Pedal (アオゾラペダル) | #1 | 189,428 * [2007.02.21] Love so sweet | #1 | 441,103 * [2007.05.02] We can make it! | #1 | 204,775 * [2007.09.05] Happiness | #1 | 283,604 * [2008.02.20] Step and Go | #1 | 374,449 * [2008.06.25] One Love | #1 | 313,976 *STILL CHARTING * [2008.08.20] truth / Kaze no Mukou e (風の向こうへ) DVDs * [2000.06.28] Suppin Arashi (スッピンアラシ) * [2002.06.12] ALL or NOTHING * [2002.06.25] PIKA☆NCHI LIFE IS HARD Dakedo HAPPY (ピカ☆ンチ LIFE IS HARDだけどHAPPY) * [2003.12.17] How's it going?

WE'VE REACHED OUR TENTH THREAD!!! AFTER ALMOST A YEAR OF ARASHI THREADS! :D I made the first Arashi thread in exactly four days a year ago! Wow~ Oh yeah - Don't spam here. I don't want this one going as fast as the others did. PLZ & THX. |
YAY! NEW ARASHI THREAD~ thanks for the graphics, minna! they're lovely! :)
damn, those Maou ratings need to increase! it was amazing. |
congrats to the new thread
gosh I'm dead, I did those graphics so fast - now I'm going to go to sleep XD oh so the date of release of truth is official another thing I missed edit: thanks moments I know they are pretty simple :laugh |
congrats Kaori , awesome for a brand new thread ! :D
I hope ratings for the subsequent episodes of Maou will be better than the 1st episode Quote:
now's to wait for the covers & tracklisting of truth to be out something tells me it will be a dark theme going on is this the 1st time ARASHI releasing a 'serious' song to begin with since most of their singles that they have put out are the happy go lucky type |
for real ? I really missed it XD
ok thanks for the info then |
Quote:
truth's going to be out next month on 27th |
This is going too fast, I'm always unable to keep up. Since I can't go online every day.....
You know, Veoh is unavailable in my country, so I can't watch those raw episodes of Arashi shows fans upload~~~~ |
^I know. Lately JE threads have had a lot of spam. So I want this thread to go much slower than the last few.
karen;;There's no official release date for truth. It's just speculated. Johnny's net or any other official source hasn't announced it yet. Irene;; Lisa said that LF had low ratings initially too. So hopefully Maou will pick up. The first episode was amazing. |
Quote:
if you can , here you go http://yuckie-chan.livejournal.com/9151.html all of the episodes are fitted with Eng subs except the more recent ones are not added in yet Quote:
|
ok so it isn't????
I thought it was because it's in the intro post but we should have it soon right? |
^Most likely next month or September it should be out.
Maou should be done by September so that'll be the best time to release it, then or earlier. |
Quote:
btw for the 1st post containing the pics banner & etc , where were they taken from ? I like it ! |
@KaoriNeko: Hmm.... if you havent said so, I would have believed that Truth's coming out next month too. I thought that the release was fast, right after One Love~I heard a little preview of Truth from the TV interview, it sounds great~~~ I've got a feeling I'm gonna like it a lot!
@karenpang: I know that site! Yuckie-chan is such a darling for subbing those episodes for us fans~ But I wanna watch the recent ones, you know, that's why Veoh is essential. Can't stand to wait till the subbed ones come out, lol~ |
Quote:
you can download a longer preview of truth via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76438 this site has the latest VS ARASHI raw episodes - http://satsu-ki.vox.com/ I'm watching episode 13 now which's the most recent 1 |
Thanks a lot for the raw episode website, karen. I think I am gonna pass on the preview though. I heard the preview for One Love and didn't really like it, but after listening to the HQ version I liked it a lot. Got the 'I told you it was nice' phrase from my friend. =(
So I won't listen to low Q previews from now on! =D spoils the song~ |
i think they should release the single in the middle of the drama season (like around ep 5-6) so it can benefit from weekly boosts on the charts til the drama ends. but that means mid-next month, LOL. idk.
|
The intro post is amaaazing Kao. :]
What's this about a new song? I only D/Led One Love yesterday! :s |
Quote:
I know where you're coming from sometimes what you hear in a preview you might like or might not like when you finally hear the full thing Quote:
I don't think truth will do well after Maou has been aired finished . at least if it's released in the midst of the season like what you said Irene , it can help sales & the song to stay afloat on the chart for a while like what's happening to One Love . HYD Final's still currently showing & it's still hovering in the top 3 it will seem silly to release One Love after the movie's aired finished in cinemas though Quote:

Come in more often. I want this thread to go slower so everyone can catch up. Quote:
|
A tenth thread already!! Congratulations everyone!! I was completely taken by surprise, I didn't even finish reading the 9th thread!!
Hmmmm... 14% viewship rating for Maou... Well, it's not that bad, but it's not as outstanding as say, Code Blue. But yeah, the ratings could definitely pick up!! Maybe some people who didn't watch the 1st episode heard it was great and will tune in this week. Apparently the 1st episode was re-broacasted on Saturday afternoon (read that on Vox, I believe). |
Quote:
I promise I'll try to post more! |
^That's OK. We're not asking you to love Arashi.
Most of our fangirl/boyness ranges. lol ...but hopefully after spending more time here you'll like them more. |
One Love is at #1 today! Wheee.
|
Ma ou is really nice!! Ohno is does a great job in portraying both sides of his characters... really convincing... Hopefully the sub ver. will be out soon... cos' i only could roughly understand what is the story about...
|
WOOHOO!!! #1?!?!?! That's amazing!! Gotta celebrate!!
ayame_san, are your sigs a result of scrapbooking? I really love them!!! |

Quote:
amazing graphics, minna! :luv2 btw kaori, i found the ratings for LF episode one: 13.9 so at least maou got higher? |
Quote:
btw Lisa , I managed to find the MS performance of Step and Go which I asked you via PM yesterday so no worries :) |
ohh i'm happy, karen! enjoy the performance. :D
|
Quote:
I also found a MS performance that they did 3 years when they performed Lai-Lai-Lai from their One album too |
Lisa;; at least it got higher than LF. LF ended with 22.8%! Hopefully Maou can keep climbing up in the ratings, this is a really great drama.
austin;; I know! Number one again~ :hi5 I'm so happy for them, this movie tie-in is doing wonders. Do we know how many copies they sold this week? |
Quote:
|
yup, it looks like HYDF is doing wonders for "One Love"! :) and it seems like they're growing a casual fanbase too.
can't wait for sales tomorrow! |
yay for the 10th thread ^^
omg One Love is number one?! that is so awesome ^^ HYDF is doing so well in theaters lol. i hope it doesn't make the release of the dvd even further by it being in theaters longer :x |
Oh, Jun is the youngest member of Arashi? You do learn something new everyday!
|
eeehh wait jun is the youngest ? (O_O)
I don't know why but I always see ohno as the youngest even if he's the oldest member |
maybe because ohno is so small? :laugh
|
Quote:

Quote:
Ohno keeps getting younger as each year goes on even though he's the oldest in the band but yeah you get the drift I wonder what he did as he doesn't look 28 to me at all , more like in his early 20's :laugh have the tour venues/dates been announced for their Arashi Around Asia 2008 tour ? because my younger sister might be heading to Korea during Sept & she wants to know more details about it , thanks ! |
^ SEOUL (Korea)
フェンシング競技場(Olympic Park Fencing Stadium) November 1(Sat)/2(Sun) EDIT : here are some phone numbers you can call ^^ http://onlyjun.vox.com/library/post/aaa2008.html |
Quote:
I will let my younger sister know about this ! EDIT -- ok just now after I told the tour dates to my sister , she said that she can't go as she's having school during Nov :weep |
I really hope Arashi does a US tour one day~
I remember that interview Jun did with some American magazine saying that it's a possibility. He said he didn't know that so many people in the US loved one little group from some little island. :laugh |
Quote:
I want them to tour south east asia as it seems to me most Japanese acts only tour within the area of Japan like China & Korea I want them to come to S'pore to perform :( EDIT - 2nd week sales of One Love inclusive of weekly position no.3 with 52,013 copies total sales so far - 365,989 copies awesome , go go One Love ! I hope it can attain double platinum status if possible although it's certain that it has attained platinum status already . Btw Kaori , didn't you mention to me a while back that you consider their 4th album Iza , Now their best outta the whole lot ? If so , why ? |
ah! 10th thread already?!? I wasn't even gone for a week!!!
i am still in Japan tho. i was in Tokyo, then i was in Sapporo for a few days and now i'm in Kobe in the Kansai region. the daughters in my homestay family in Sapporo LOVE Johnny's so i had a ball! ^^ but I missed Maou! >.< I guess i gotta wait til i get back home to watch it >.< I wanna see it so bad!!! i almost went to the last Arashi concert at Sapporo DOme with the younger daughter of my homestay family but the tickets were sold out!!!!! >.< she did bring me back a phone strap and a lady from church brought me a Nino clear file ^^ so at least i have concert goods ^^ ALSO I was watching News Zero last nite and Sho was covering the G8 Summit in Sapporo!!! ^^ he was trying to interview some American guy so he was like "Excuse me! Excuse me! Can I have just 2 minutes??" (YES IN ENGLISH!!! ^^) and the white dude TOTALLY blew him off!!! >.< "no! I just talked w/ blah blah blah!" i was like "poor Sho-kun!!!" i hope someone recorded it and uploads it ^^ |
that's really cool that Sho was covering the G8 summit !!!! :yes
ahh poor him though :( |
karen;; I just love every single song, that's why. It's a lot of really nice upbeat stuff, it has my favorite singles, and album tracks too! How could you go wrong with Kotoba Yori Taisetsu na Mono, Hadashi no Mirai, PIKANCHI DOUBLE, RIGHT BACK TO YOU, EYES WITH DELIGHT and RAINBOW all on one album?
Raye;; We're gonna let this thread go slower. The last two were ridiculous. HAVE FUN IN JAPAN THOUGH~ and poor Sho! XD minna;; he's covering the summer olympics for News ZERO. :yes |
oh yeah it's true! I'm really happy for him :yes
it's so big, so I think it's really great that he is covering the summer olympics (^-^) Is it possible to watch News Zero online ? so we could watch him (^-^) |
Quote:
When I gave Iza , Now a skim though listen just now , all of them are really good ! I'm going to take the 1st few days to listen to Iza Now & One since the tunes of ARASHIC , Time & Dream"A"live are stuck solid in my head now anyway thanks for recommending Iza Now & One to try :D & same thing goes for their 6th - 8th albums too ! |
Quote:
one love at HEYHEYHEY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btuDAeAAGJs |

You people need to read the first page! News Zero is on NTV. XD
Thanks for the performance Lisa! Matsujun's singing keeps getting better and better, I'm so proud of him~ |
i was half right then with the channels, lol. :tipsy yea, our matsujun has improved. :yes
|
Quote:
he he gomen m(_ _)m ok matsu is getting better but uhm why, wasn't he good before? |
Sho played the almost full song of truth! ^^
http://nana-komatsu7.livejournal.com/54410.html i can't find a streaming link for Sho's visit to G8 summit but you can dl it here ^^ http://community.livejournal.com/las...ays/12248.html i loved when he's like "Hi! My name is Sho"! ^_^ |
OMFG truth?! god bless sho! :laugh
damn, it cuts off right when it gets good! i hope an even fuller version leaks because i LOVE it! |
The full version of truth is out~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibfCBDmNZ2I |
Quote:
|
I can't believe the full song leaked so early!
I have a feeling we may get the single sooner ~ O.O |
that can't be full, though. it's only playing 2 choruses! usually there's a bridge and everything. it has to be at least 4 minutes long. i hope. :weep
|
^It sounds like the full version! :shrug
I like it that short, it's nice. I don't think they could fit another thirty seconds unless it was like some awesome instrumental like a guitar solo or something! ayupi thanks~ Sho's English is adorable! |
yeaa but still, a longer instrumental can be better! lol. oh well, the song's good, i admit. i still love it and all, i just hope it'll end up being longer when another version leaks or something. i dunno. :P

I also happened to catch show on News Zero on Monday night. I really enjoyed watching him showing the viewers around the media center in Sapporo (for the G8 Summit). I was a bit pissed he was blown off by the American guy... but oh well...
Apparently One Love got this week's #3 overall position!! That's just too awesome!!! I have yet to listen to the whole version of Truth. I wasn't going to listen, but I've heard a long bit of it so... yeah, I'm weak, LOL! |
i'm really liking how "truth" is sounding! :D
and awesome 2nd week! wow, great numbers! |
I will watch the full version and see if i like it more then the intro version
|
^Do you like it~? :lech
I think it sounds a lot better in full! |

I don't know who's the american guy but just for doing this to Sho I hate him :o :laugh yay for One Love :D |
^That's already been posted.
That and the full version. |

can I have the link or something to download it ? sorry I just woke up & it's still quite early here :laugh EDIT -- Ok I found the link in page 3 that Lisa has posted , I'm going to watch it now I hope the 'real' version of truth is longer than what everyone has heard though EDIT again -- the performance that they did at HEYx3's <3 various mag scans of the guys :: TV Guide 5th July '08 - http://yuckie-chan.livejournal.com/84050.html Oricon Style 14th July '08 - http://yuckie-chan.livejournal.com/84562.html Duet Aug '08 & Non-no Aug '08 - http://yuckie-chan.livejournal.com/84799.html An old mag scan featuring Aiba - http://bobbylyn-n.livejournal.com/81407.html?mode=reply I must say that he looks good in there |
i just read this and was so excited ^^
http://community.livejournal.com/jun_daily/304407.html Jun is doing the drama SP for 24 hour tv this year! i hope it's just as good as Marathon :D |
^YAY! I wanna watch 24 Hour Terebi! I wonder if I can do it~
Suketeru softsubbed Maou episode 1!!!! http://suketeru.livejournal.com/38536.html#cutid1 And the lyrics to "truth" are amazing. I'm in love with this song~ |
^ thank you for the link!!
im going to watch this right away :D |
Quote:
btw, i now know why the song is called "truth". all through maou they say the truth can't be twisted (well, ohno said that, lol). they also said the word "truth" at least 5 times. :laugh |
i just hope Jun's drama SP does not involve him dying like Kame did in his 24 Hour Terebi SP. and i haven't watched "Yuuki" because of that fact. :weep
OH SWEET. SOFTSUBS. i loved sutekeru's work w/ LF. |
Quote:
OMG! JUN DYING!? NOOOOO~ Please don't happen to Matsujun!!! :weep I can't deal with anymore dying today, not after Koizora~ |
just looking at the sypnosis, it looks so damn sad. :(
OMGKOIZORAWHY. i love that movie. :weep |
I hope Matsujun doesn't have to deal with seven incurable illnesses!!!
And yes! Koizora! GO CRY WITH ME IN THE J-DRAMA THREAD!! :weep |
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!!! |

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 EDIT : 水 木 金 土 日 月 火 -- -- -- -- -- --↑*1 Perfume 「love the world」 -- -- -- -- -- --↑*2 マキシマム ザ ホルモン 「爪爪爪/「F」」 -- -- -- -- -- --↑*3 Berryz工房 「行け 行け モンキーダンス」 -- -- -- -- -- --↑*4 SUPER JUNIOR 「U/TWINS」 -- -- -- -- -- --↑*5 いきものがかり 「ブルーバード」 -- -- -- -- -- --↑*6 倉木麻衣 「一秒ごとに Love for you」 -- -- -- -- -- --↑*7 ゴスペラーズ 「ローレライ」 -- -- -- -- -- --↑*8 青山テルマ 「何度も」 -- -- -- -- -- --↑*9 BREAKERZ 「SUMMER PARTY/LAST EMOTION」 *3 *4 *3 *2 *1 *1↓10 嵐 「One Love」 |

But kinda sad to see One Love dropping from 1 to 10 |
Quote:
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 |
What is everyone crying about!? They're still number 10! 10!!! And their single was release two weeks ago! This is good, people~
Quote:
And they're gonna sing the theme song for that too?! OMFG! That's three theme songs this summer! Maybe we'll get a triple a-side single?! Or just a double a-side with "Green" as the b-side? :lech |
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 |
Quote:
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! ^^ |
Oh-chan's FREESTYLE is No.1 in Oricon Yearly Photobook/Art book Sales Ranking: http://contents.oricon.co.jp/music/s...709_04_10.html :D :D :D

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) |

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.
