^ Nino's take on Kiseki's surprisingly good , at least he did justice to the original which I adore

He did a good job covering the song although i thought he sounded a bit off-pitch at the beginning.. but still.. gotta love him!

i only ask because in the credits on the bottom of the happiness PV, it says "dir. (japanese symbol that stands for arashi)" so i thought they directed it, seeing as how that PV is pretty crazy, lol.

MTV China / MTV Asia have been overplaying I'm Your Singer til I can't take it anymore

then again have to give respect to the 3rd best selling act of all time in Japan & to be together for 30 years + , it's no joke at all

oh no wonder . Well I don't know much about this , maybe Kaori or someone else can answer it

but the video's a great one , the part where Aiba was using that machine to 'flatten' his stomach's funny haha

EDIT - can someone tell me the tour dates of their upcoming AAA Asian Tour ? I know for Taiwan's case it's Oct 11th & 12th (Sat & Sun)

My taiwanese friend Cliff managed to get tickets for the 11th gig at US$28+/New Taiwan Dollar 800 & they're like backrow seats but it's better than nothing considering that all the tickets for both dates have been sold out flat

he said that the most expensive priced ones cost NTD2800/US$90+

O: I never noticed that. -rewatches the PV-

no school today, kaori?

[ka♡ri.]

We got out early~ ;D

And ya, I can't read it - but that's not the character for Arashi under the director part. xD

[Beauty4123]

ohh i thought it was. oh well.

i'm home because i had a dentist appointment, it was torture.

[ka♡ri.]

LOL. I'm not sure which character it is, but it isn't the Arashi one lol~

And ya, I know people have been celebrating Arashi's 9th anniversary - but I don't do that (DID YOU ALL THINK I FORGOT?! XD). The 15th was the anniversary of their formation - I'm waiting for November to celebrate.

[Beauty4123]

i read their releasing their national world wide tour or something for their anniversary next year. is that true?
