Group Members

http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/7933/ohchancopy.png
大野智 | Ohno Satoshi

♥ Ohno became the group's leader because of a Rock-Paper-Scissors game he did with Sakurai! He didn't even want to be the leader!
♥ A mama's boy! He says his mom still buys his clothes & that goes for his shoes too o_O!
♥ Known for his amazing artistic ability & he really LOVES fishing!
♥ Never fails to engage in neverending otherwise dead panned mannered verbal & physical fights against SMAP's leader Nakai Masahiro whenever the guys appear on the comedy show Utaban in which Nakai's the host alongside with comedian Ishibashi Takaaki
♥ Possibly the most quietest member in the group but if you give him a chance to talk , he will bound to say something amusing/funny to make everyone laugh in any good way possible

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1733/juncopy.png
松本潤 | Matsumoto Jun (also known as MatsuJun :heart)

♥ Jun is an elite in Johnny's - meaning that he is one of the only 3 men in Johnny & Associates who didn't have to audition as the boss himself Johnny-san called him personally on his handphone to join the company!
♥ Unofficially in a way or 2 loyal fans of him coined the term "Jun-bait" no thanks to his good looks and acting roles!
♥ Although the youngest, he's the most serious about ARASHI's work!
♥ Became the 1st male artist to pose on the cover of the now defunct (in Japan only) Marie Claire magazine which took place 3 years ago in June (pun intended)
♥ In AHS , MatsuJun belongs to Beauty4123 / Lisa while Karen used to be his ex xD

http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/7169/ninocopy.png
二宮和也 | Ninomiya Kazunari (also known as Nino)

♥ Nino is the husband of Karen's french friend Nat xD
♥ Has made his Hollywood debut in Clint Eastwoods Letters from Iwo Jima!
♥ Loves to play jokes and pranks on other members!
♥ A self proclaimed Otaku!
♥ Together with Ohno , both of them form a duo called OhMiya which displayed a lot of *ahem* fanservice moments to the delight of fans!
♥ He especially has two mistresses from AHS, which are teddbear55 & ll moments ll !

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/747/shocopy.png
櫻井翔 | Sakurai Sho

♥ Sho may seem to be the most manly in the group - but he's the biggest scaredy cat & he surprisingly screamed a lot more lesser than Aiba LOL LOL LOL during a special broadcast of Himitsu no Arashi-chan where they had to go in to investigate an inn that was 'haunted' ! & Sakurai can run REALLY fast . Faster than Aiba anytime of the day LOL
♥ Inspired many of his kouhai to attend college after getting into Keio University & in the process , graduated with a degree which he majored in Economics!
♥ Also hosts the popular news show NEWS ZERO!
♥ The designated rapper of the group who writes his own rap lyrics , this's also known as "Sakurap" . Because of him , this inspired his Junior , KAT-TUN's Tanaka Koki to do so too :heart
♥ He's known as the brother in law of KarenPang! (LOL LOL LOL 8D :laugh)

http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5350/aibacopy.png
相葉雅紀 | Aiba Masaki

♥ Aiba loves animals (even though he's scared of birds & kangaroos :O) which lead him to work on Tensai! Shimura Dobutsuen where he often gets to work (hilariously) with wild animals!
♥ Joined Johnny & Associates only to meet his idol V6's Miyake Ken and play basketball with SMAP!
♥ Loves speaking English - even though he's not too great at it!
♥ In the same wavelength (brain wise & then some) as BREAKERZ's frontman DAIGO :laugh
♥ Loves experimenting in lots of weird ways/manners you can imagine/think of in the band's variety shows ! So much so that he even has his own corner called Ai-land (short form for Aiba-land) in Arashi no Shukudai-kun!

ooh I like the new thread title , Lisa :heart . Make sure you update the post's link with your signature :p

about a month & 1 day before Lotus will be released & I'm quite sure covers will surface within the next week or so

Beauty4123 22nd January 2011 03:20 AM

thanks karen!! and oops, i almost forgot! :laugh

i can't wait covers! but i'd really love a radio rip! i have the preview memorized already. :tipsy

KarenPang 22nd January 2011 03:23 AM

I'm quite sure a radio rip for Lotus will surface soon , since some of them have radio shows of their own

I'm certain that Nino will be playing it 1st on Baystorm 8D

Beauty4123 22nd January 2011 03:25 AM

oh yea, that's true! maybe aiba will play it on his radio show, too! the single promotes his new drama, after all. :D

but until then, we just gotta wait. :grumpy lol! such torture!

KarenPang 22nd January 2011 03:35 AM

oh yeah I almost forgot about Aiba lmao

but yes I'm very sure the guys will be playing Lotus on their radio shows sooner or later because that's how it works for past singles of theirs & let alone album tracks teasers for Boku no Miteiru Fukei too

suddenly releasing a PV preview of their stuff way too early before the actual release date , it's not really helping man :grumpy :irked

Midori-chan 22nd January 2011 11:31 AM

AWESOME title, Beauty!!!! :yes
I love "Refrain"! It's such a beautiful song...and the graphics in the first thread look sweet too (I love this shooting!) :heart

Ninomiya Kazunari makes a return on “Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen”!

Back in December, tokyohive reported about how Arashi member, Ninomiya Kazunari, made his very first appearance on the animal variety show, “Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen“. Fangirls and animal lovers alike couldn’t get enough of his guest appearance, so Ninomiya made a return to the show for its January 22nd episode.

Just like in his previous episode, the Arashi star went out with the female comedian duo, “Harisenbon“, to look for cute baby animals. On this broadcast, however, one particular animal got the especial attention of the Arashi star.

Ninomiya received a letter from fellow groupmate, Aiba Masaki, in which Aiba introduces a cute female kangaroo baby to Ninomiya. The baby was still unnamed, and so Aiba had asked Ninomiya to pick one for her. Considering how it was so close to groupmate Sakurai Sho’s birthday (January 25th), Ninomiya decided upon the name, “Shoko”, in his honor.

Aiba also sent Ninomiya a DVD which teaches him how to play with the kangaroo

Ninomiya Kazunari, Matsuyama Kenichi aim big with worldwide premier of “GANTZ”

Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari and actor Matsuyama Kenichi went on a whirlwind promotional blitz on the 20th, taking part in special events and stage greetings for their new movie, “GANTZ“. The movie, which was released in the U.S. on the 20th and will be released in Japan on the 29th, has been garnering attention the world over, due to the popularity of the original manga series.

On the morning of the 20th, both Ninomiya and Matsuyama held a stage greeting event in Tokyo at Roppongi Hills. Immediately afterwards, the two travelled more than 6,000 kilometers to Los Angeles, and held a second stage greeting for American fans at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

The Hollywood stage greeting was actually GANTZ’s world premier, as the event was broadcasted live to 334 theatres across the U.S.

During the event, many of the questions addressed to the two actors took on very large possibilities, such as the chances of an Oscar or an Academy Award nomination next year. When asked these questions, Ninomiya gave a very direct response: “If we are nominated (for this film) we’ll be really lucky. This time, I think that the screening (of the film) across the U.S. helps to extend our work far across to different people, so there are many opportunities for our work to be recognized.”

With sparkling eyes and great enthusiasm, Matsuyama addressed his thoughts about the American reception of the film. “Looking at the all reactions here as you watched the film, I have no doubt this was a winner!”

GANTZ was undoubtedly very popular overseas, with tickets for the premier screenings being sold out almost immediately in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The event at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood saw more than 400 fans gathering to buy tickets in a panicked scramble. It was apparent that Ninomiya’s earlier appearance in “Letters from Iwo Jima” and Matsuyama’s huge role as antagonist “L” in “Death Note” gave both actors a definite advantage when promoting their new movie.

Ninomiya also spoke to the crowd in English, expressing his gratitude for such a warm reception. “I am very honored to see so many fans watching the movie across the country. I hope to see everyone again with the release of the second part of ‘GANTZ’“.

The movie will be shown in 21 countries worldwide as well. The second and final part of the GANTZ movie will be released on April 23rd.

I watched the "Scene"-Tour yesterday and it was sooooo, sooooo great! I think that it was even better than their "Anniversary"-Tour last year.
But that's just my personal opinion!!!

The tracklist was amazing and their voices sounded great! You could see that all of them were having a lot of fun and they all looked so very adorable, very cute and very handsome (jup, Arashi can be all of this at the same time! :D).

My personal highlights:

Spoiler:

There are too many great moments - like I said, the whole concert was awesome - so here are my favourites:

1. Riida's solo! It was the one performance I was looking forward the most and he didn't disappointed me. His voice was as great as always and the choreography was wonderful. Ah, and his outfit was simple, but gorgeous!! :heart

2. The "Monster"-performance!! :heart
I saw a short clip of it in one of the CMs for the concert and I couldn't wait to watch the whole performance! Especially the dancing part they did before singing "Monster" was awesome and made me hold my breath!!

3. Riida kissing Jun on the cheek during "a Day in Our Life". :love
It was just a quick little moment - blink and you will miss it ;) - but it was so supercute...and Jun was stunned for a minute afterwards - he even had to sit down! :D

4. Sho speaking English!!! And not only five words, but some long sentences (I love his English! :yes).

5. The performance Aiba and MatsuJun did together. It was breathtaking, really! I'm so proud of them. They did a great, great job!

6. The solos of Nino (supercute outfit and VERY adorable Nino!! :heart), Aiba (it was *love*) and MatsuJun (the little "game" in the beginning was just sweet, sweet, sweet and made me giggle! :D).

7. The "Thank you's"! The were touching - as always - and Aiba's was so funny. I mean, not what he said, but because his voice was kinda dry (the whole concert long; whenever he talked, you could hear that something was not right! Poor Aiba!! :() and Nino teased him merciless for it! :D

8. The outfits were VERY great and not at all embarrassing this time...welllll~~ save for the ugly cloak they had to wear for "Circus". It was...erm, unnecessary...! :headache

My favourite outfits were Riida's and Nino's solo outfits, the white outfits they wear during "Refrain", "Gift" and "My Girl", the blue-orange ones and the jacket+jeans!



As soon as I have money again, I will definitely buy it. :yes

And I think that I have to listen to the album again, because now I love a lot of the songs I hated before! It's the magic of seeing these songs performed live, I guess! :D
