[ARASHI] Get Lost in the Spiral - 26th thread of Arashi.

[KarenPang]

oh it depends on my schedule as my exams are coming soon ~_~

I don't really like pics that're taken from Fineboys from past photospreads I seen in general but MatsuJun's 1 of the better ones

The 4th one's cool , you get 1 pic of him in 4 different coloured montages ;p

also, i noticed that that LJ link from my post above is locked, so here are the FineBoys scans

I like the last one. He looks nice there.

Thanks for sharing!

Preview of MatsuJun as the guest in Haneru no Tobira 100 yen shop (subbed)

http://azuleanna.livejournal.com/84489.html

I seen this show a few times here & there . Whenever guests appear on the Haneru no Tobira 100 yen shop , they're suppose to guess which items supposedly only cost 100 Yen

if they guess wrongly , the penalty's that they have to personally pay for how much the item's worth in real life & it can rank up to thousands if not millions of Yen

I remembered Ikuta Toma was on the show & so was Sakurai & surprisingly Sakurai didn't got whacked on this xD

Does anybody have scans for "Monster" and "To be free" singles that I may be interested?

[KarenPang]

To be free's 5th day sales - 25,478

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

Total sales so far - 393,539

congrats it will cross 400K by tomorrow & for a single that's only released in 1 edition , well I can't say anything more than this

Over 400k in its first week, I'm so proud of them! Everything sold about the same IN TOTAL and that did have a B-side!

Of course it was to be expected since To be Free is a much better song XD.

[KarenPang]

LOL

yeah I agree , To be free is really solid & it deserves to sell well

I guess they prove you don't need a B-side to bring in the sales xD

has anyone seen the making offshot clip of the PV ? my younger sister said that it's really boring X_X

[Beauty4123]

i saw the making of. it's just the guys standing and singing, but the parts where they talk together and stuff is pretty cute, lol. especially with ohno and nino. ohno was making this serious expression to the camera a few times. it was funny

anyway, the sales are great! i also agree that the song is better than Everything but Everything sounded amaaazing in the 5x10 concert performance. whoever re-arranged it should have originally made that song

[KarenPang]

well I have an acoustic mix of Everything which I kept inside my mp3player

I don't know if it's an official one but I really like it more than the original take xD ;p

LOL yeah my younger sister said the same thing too

the setting & etc is what you see is what you get , except of course they didn't flimed/showed the special effects as it's not incorporated in the making offshot clip x)

[Beauty4123]

they actually filmed the PV in early march, from what i read. they totally fooled me cause they look the same now, lol.

[KarenPang]

what early March ?! that's really early , I thought at most they probably flimed To be free's PV in May or something

so they actually recorded the song very early , maybe around the same time when they did Monster too

Too bad To be free is not going to be in Boku no Miteiru Fukei ~_~

I think the cover , tracklist & song titles for Boku no Miteiru Fukei might be out somewhere this week since it will be out on 4th Aug

[Beauty4123]

i hope so too! i hope it'll be an amazing cover! and i'm really looking forward to seeing the tracklist. this is random, but i noticed that there are only 3 japanese titled songs on Dream "A" live.

[KarenPang]

haha I didn't realised til you said so x)

I definitely will get Boku no Miteiru Fukei when it's released in Taiwan next month since whatever ARASHI stuff I have , I share them with my younger sister

I think this needs to take about 3 weeks or so before the Taiwan press of the album's out because for Hey ! Say ! JUMP's JUMP NO.1 , the release date in Japan is 7th July & it wouldn't be in Taiwan til 28th July

so nothing will surprise me if Boku no Miteiru Fukei will only be available in Taiwan in late Aug X_X

[Beauty4123]

well, on the bright side, at least it'll be available! i think it'd be worse if the taiwan version was cancelled or something. that'd be devastating.

i dunno how i'm gonna get this album, but...i'd rather not think of that right now, lol. i'd just really like to see what everything will look like for now.

[KarenPang]

lol avex Taiwan will be outta their mind to do that xD since they have been producing their stuff in Taiwan from Aozora Pedal onwards

it wouldn't make any sense if they're not going to do that for Boku no Miteiru Fukei , except if their relationship with Johnny soured over royalty/license fees or something else xD

At least for Taiwan presses , 1st press & etc will be kept intact so I hope it goes for Boku no Miteiru Fukei & also for To be free as well

I don't need to fight the fangirls on Japanese CD shop sites , the only drawback's waiting that's all but I'm OK with it + it's cheaper too for me to handle

& speaking of which , Taiwan press for To be free will be out next Fri on 23rd July

I find it weird that even though there's no B-sides , avex Taiwan still needs to take 16 days + to get it rolling lol

[Beauty4123]

yea, that probably wouldn't happen but i always think of the worst sometimes, haha.

it's strange how it takes so long to ship even though it's more or less the exact same CD as the japanese version, despite a few differences here and there. they produce the CD in taiwan, right?

[KarenPang]

I think it's due to many factors as to why the wait's quite long unlike for what they do for avex artistes where their stuff can be out 2 days after the release date in Japan

Also most importantly , avex Taiwan's a distributor of Johnny's stuff in Taiwan .

If it's someone like V6 which just so happened that their material's under avex , then that's a home run for you where your material's out really fast in Taiwan

issues like license definitely come into place & also they need to take time to translate the song from Japanese to traditional Chinese too but I honestly can say that for me , I don't care that much for the translation sheet as I can't read traditional Chinese

if it's simplified Chinese then it's a different issue xD

it's not just ARASHI , the other Johnny's take around the same time for their stuff to be out in Taiwan

I remembered for KAT-TUN's Break the Records , avex Taiwan took almost close to a month for both editions to be out in Taiwan X_X

[Beauty4123]

ah, i see! i guess license is a pretty big part of this. but i think overall, despite the wait, it's still the most affordable and reasonable version of a CD to get considering how cheap it is. so..i guess that makes the wait worth it?

[KarenPang]

LOL yes way xD

that's why to me I don't see any need to get Japan press of something if the artiste themselves have an OS press

it's different if the artiste I support doesn't have any like BREAKERZ , Matsushita Yuya , ON/OFF ;__;

I don't mind the wait , it's just that at the end of the day , I can save a lot of $

I saw the price for Boku no Miteiru Fukei that CDJapan/HMV Japan charge , my eyes pop O_O

excluding shipping , it's US$40+ / S$56+ already for the album

Taiwan press , it probably be like what 2/3 of the price which's a big significant difference to me

like way xD
