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

[Amai Yume]

congrats for Arashi hitting 300K in the 1st week!!!
Hopefully they'll stay in top 3 next week or at least top 5

It'd be awesome if they could get another weekly number one, but that's usually hard for JE. =[
Hopefully they can stay high this week too ~

[Neo Daydream]

when i went to Book Off yesterday, the only Arashi stuff i found was a couple of copies of DAL. no singles, no DVDs, no nothing >.< but I guess thatz good cuz it means they are really popular ^^
I'm going to the BIG Book Off in Harajuku today so hopefully I'll find some good stuf there ^^
I'm gonna watch Maou here when it comes on ^^ i've seen several big ads for it at stations and konbinis here in Tokyo and itz in every TV/Johnny's mag i pick up so i'm excited ^^

^That's so awesome that you'll get to see Maou in Japan!
I hope you're having fun~
I hope I'll be able to make it there next year!!!
I'M GOING TO BUY SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH~ lol

[naxxo.licious™]

You're so lucky raye!!

Anyway, i finally downloaded One Love LOL. I like it! But to be honest, i still don't like it as much as i like Love so sweet.

The remix is weird lol.

[Neo Daydream]

I didn't like One Love much at first but it is growing on me ^^

I just went down to a konbini and saw a mag w/ pics of Ohmiya from Maou lol and off-shot stuff of them walking in a park and being silly/lovey-dovey lol i didn't buy it cuz it was almost $4 and it only had 3 big nice pics so... i just took pics of em w/ my camera (i'll post em when i'm back in the states cuz i don't have my camera comp. hook up cable)

OH! btw, I forgot to tell you guys that I may have seen Nino in disguise in Akihabara yesterday! lol he looked kinda like the disguise he wore on Himitsu no Arashi-chan (long hair, glasses, hat, etc.) AND he was playing his DS!!! lol I should've been like "Ninomiya-kun!" to see if he'd look around but I didn't think fast enuff! >.< and i didn't even get a pic of him! >.<

[ll moments ll]

congrats on the 300k Arashi!

[naxxo.licious™]

@raye: DDDDDDDDDDD: u gotta be kidding me!! I can't believe that! I would've taken out my DS and asked him to play in multiplayer mode

[Beauty4123]

early first week numbers:

One Love early numbers: 314k

just 10k lower than step and go.

ooh thanks for that Kaori <3

I'm going to get the regular edition/Japan press of Step and Go at my local HMV so it's ok bcos I don't have plans to get the limited edition as it seems silly to get the CD + DVD as only Step and Go's in the CD & the PV + making of it in the DVD & I wouldn't waste my $ on it

besides I can find the PV on the net real easily

I know I shouldn't be picky & etc but what on earth was Nino wearing in the PV ??? If he took off that yellow sweater he will look waay better & I don't like it when MatsuJun pouts

& let me guess Riida = Ohno ? I rather call him Captain it's easier

Lisa - Thanks for the estimated finally tally sales of One Love , it's only a mere 9-10K lower than Step and Go pretty good

EDIT :

HYD Final Scans from T magazine - http://white-remus.livejournal.com/265363.html

there's just something about black & white pics which's just really mysterious & nice .

They should have smiled though

I thought Nino looked so cute in the Step and Go PV. I really loved all of their outfits~
But I think Aiba looked the cutest, his green sweater was just adorable~

yeah Aiba looks great in the green sweater but wish I can say the same thing for Nino , I think it's the hair that's talking in there

but Nino looks great now after he got a haircut so yup

I know!! I've been visiting my area's Book Off stores (there are 3) and there's next to nothing Arashi-related. I did see a RE Step and Go single, that's it (but I already have it).

LOL, you're going to have a hard time stopping yourself from buying mags feat. Arashi!! There are so many of them!!!

[ayupi]

^ i would be completely broke right now lol

omg raye you might have seen Nino? That is so awesome

[yatsuda]

I somehow missed Raye mentionning seeing Nino. If that's the case, it's INSANE!! I've never seen a Japanese celebrity walking around incognito.

I don't buy magazines too often now. Ayu and Arashi are draining my wallet!!! I'm thinking of getting Arashi books, like Arashigoto...

If I even thought someone was Nino, I would totally approach them!
Let's hope you run into some more possible celebs Raye-chan! And next time - GLOMP THEM.
...but not really, that's kinda illegal.

My copy of the OS press of the 2 CDs limited edition of DAL that I ordered from HMV HK came just now together with KAT-TUN's QUEEN OF PIRATES (OS press CD + DVD limited edition)

But good job Arashi, keep steady sales

[KarenPang]

this's probably their 2nd consecutive single to sell 300K in the 1st week

er ie. if I'm correct

I'm listening to the OS press / 2 CDs limited edition of DAL which just came from HMV HK now

I didn't realised that the booklet's so thick I almost had trouble slotting inside the album

[Neo Daydream]

haha i feel so bad for not trying to talk to my supposed Nino lol

in other Raye-chan news, I SAW HANA YORI DANGO FINAL!!! I finally found a theater in Shibuya that was showing it ^^
omigosh it was good. i loved pretty much all of it!

Spoiler:

that is until Makino knocked the bear out w/ one punch! ridiculous! i thought it would end up being Tsukasa or somebody but no! she really K.O.ed a bear! >.< i thought it was kinda dumb! >.<

and Yatsuda,

Spoiler:

can u explain to me what happend after they got "rescued". was the whole thing a test of their love or whatever? thanks lol

oh, yeah! i forgot but in Shibuya, there was a big window display ad thing for Maou ^^ it was HUGE and in the middle of it was a TV playing an AWESOME sneak peek of the drama ^^ and a BUNCH of ppl were stopping and watching! I think alot of ppl will watch it and I hope it'll be REALLY popular! ^^
