NEOBK-901159
Oricon Entertainment/Orisuta2011 January 3 & 10 [Front Cover] Arashi BOOK 400 yen US$5/84.85 Release Date:2010/12/24 Description:Arashi is on Oricon Entertainment magazine cover! Includes oricon annual ranking. URL - http://cdjapan.jp/d.html?KEY=NEOBK-901159 === Aiba Masaki’s upcoming drama “Bartender” to air a special pre-show ![]() Arashi’s Aiba Masaki is headlining a new drama based off a popular comic series called, “Bartender“. Although it will start broadcasting on February 4th, it’s been recently revealed that a special pre-show will air on January 14th. The pre-show, which is not a prequel to the drama, merely follows Aiba as he tries to learn more about how to enjoy alcohol from various “Alcohol masters” in the entertainment industry. One of the “Alcohol masters” will be Shimura Ken, who is personally close to Aiba (they co-starred together in “Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen“); Ken will teach Aiba the mature way of enjoying alcohol. The pre-show will also closely report on Aiba during the shoot, as well as his training on being a bartender. Aiba’s cast members have also been announced. Joining him are Kanjiya Shihori as the heroine, Arakawa Yoshiyoshi and Mitsuishi Ken as his co-workers, and Kaneko Nobuaki will play as his rival. Tsugawa Masahiko has also been slotted to play the heroine’s grandfather. Sounds like a pre-show that can’t be missed! http://www.tokyohive.com/2010/12/aib...cial-pre-show/ my god , Aiba + Shimura Ken = win win combination xD

@KarenPang: XD
My first thought was: "Mhm, they could perform 'Monster' in these outfits"!, but I would have never thought that they actually did! The songs they performed are...okay...I'm happy about "Monster", but since a few weeks I can't listen to "Believe" anymore (I think, I listened to it too much!) and I was never too fond of "Happiness". But Thank you! for sharing the video! ![]()

I like those songs they chose to sing/perform but would have been nicer if they sang something that people wouldn't know that well , like Snowflake or Still ... from the Happiness single haha
I always have like Happiness because of the unique melody it had . Believe was a home run because it sounds very grown up but Kumori Nochi Kaisei was there to lighten up the mood x) For Monster , I still think it's probably their best A-side they released for 2010 . If not for To be free , Monster will be a shoo win for that

But a bit of variety would be nice too...I still hope that they will sing "Tokei jikake no umbrella" live one day! ![]() For me, "Troublemaker", "Monster" and "To be free" were the best songs this year...the rest was...er, yeah, especially the last two singles! ![]()

Dear Snow - no issues with the song but the PV basically BORE me super big time & no I still cannot forgive the stylist for giving Ohno to wear those weird necklaces ~_~
Hatenai Sora - I had issues with the song initally as it was so boring but the PV changed my mind on it a great deal xD Also lyrically , it's very positive & encouraging . It's doing wonders for Freeter which's relevant since Freeter can get quite depressing at times I feel that Hatenai Sora is this year's answer to My Girl in that the A-sides are ok ok but the B-sides are basically home run to me

I have issues with both songs.
I really can't explain it...I was VERY excited about "Dear snow", because well I love snow and the title of the song sounded so nice too (yeah, stupid reasons, I know! ![]() ![]() The PV bored me to no end...I watch it once and nearly fell asleeep. And I also was kinda angry that there was no snow. This may be be stupid, but why call a song "Dear snow", make a PV for it, but put no snow in the PV...?? ![]() But I like Riida's outfit...yes, also the pearls...XDD I also can't listen to "Hatenai Sora" without starting to yawn. The PV was okay, though...well, can it get worse than "Dear snow"? ![]() I was really disappointed with these two songs and don't forget the album...I like two songs from the new ones on this album! TWO songs (well, not counting in Riida's solo; it's also the only solo on the album I like!...) that's ridiculous and I was even thinking about buying this album. I'm glad, that I didn't...

lol like what I said a while back about the whole album issue , I don't think you have heard Dream"A"Live which they released before Boku no Miteru Fukei
Dream"A"live to me is even worst than Boku no Miteru Fukei (to you) . I will be surprised if people will beg to differ with me on this statement & I just feel basically's just wrong with Dream"A"live from the cover artwork to the album tracks & the solos (MatsuJun's Naked , are you for real still ?!) , everything's just ![]() ![]() Even putting Happiness and Step and Go couldn't save the album from flopping musically :x & the quality drop from Time to Dream"A"live is evident too With Boku no Miteru Fukei , my god , I was SO relieved the album tracks were a BIG improvement from what I heard in Dream"A"live . Dream"A"live is the only album that I deleted a great deal of album tracks from my mp3player & only Ohno & Aiba's solos I was able to tolerate , the rest not so ~_~ Another upside for Boku no Miteru Fukei ? The special packaging which's downright awesome I thought All the BEST !'s packaging was great (since I have the 3 LEs edition) but I was proven wrong when I saw the packaging for Boku no Miteru Fukei , I was like wow it's not often when you have an album that's packaged like an envelope , coupled with a digipak CD & long CD booklet , all wrapped up in a box Ah how come I'm talking so much about this ? xD I blame the energy bars that i had just now ~_~ xD But yeah to my younger sister & myself , Boku no Miteru Fukei >>>>>> Dream"A"live anytime of the day :p

![]() For me, "Dream 'A' Live" is a great album, simply because it has some amazing songs like "Move Your Body", "Happiness", "Sirius", "Koe", "My Answer", "Step and Go", "Once Again". The solos are not so great, but I LOVE "Take Me Faraway" ![]() "Gimmick Game" is okay...but let's not talk about the other two, okay?! ![]() "Boku no miteiru fûkei" is a great album too, when I count the songs that were released before the album came out: "Troublemaker", "Everything", "My Girl", "Monster" and "Sora Takaku". But I was very disappointed with the new songs, save for "Refrain" and "Circus". And the solos were such a huge let-down. Like I said, I only like "Shizukana yoru ni". It's beautiful, but I can't listen to the others... And about the packing and cover art...I really don't care about this. When I buy a CD or a music DVD, the only thing that counts for me is the music! When the cover and the booklet are nice too, then that's a bonus, but I can do without them.

awww it's really too bad that you don't like BNMF!
There are some really awesome tracks in there for me movin' on, マダ上ヲ, リフレイン, サーカス, ギフト, むかえに行くよ, 空高く, kagerô! Actually I think it's my favourite album from Arashi! It beats Time because the ballads are better! Which reminds me I haven't listened to BNMF in a while.... |

it sucks that Green never will see the day/light of making it in a studio album of them ;___; I still think the ballads in Time are better . Who can't forget Aiba bawling his eyes out (he couldn't sing it properly omg) when they performed Be with you in their Time DVD ;__; ![]()

@teddbear: It's not that I don't like it...I was just very disappointed with the new songs. Like I said, the album has some great songs, but I knew them all before (except "Refrain" and "Circus", but these two are GREAT!!), so listening to the new album wasn't very exciting.
I was hoping for some other great songs like "Monster" and "Troublemaker", but yeah...you can't have everything... @KarenPang: I actually don't have a favourite album, I just have favourite songs! ![]() Does this make sense? But solo-wise I love "Time". I love all the solos on this album, even the one of Sho and MatsuJun (I normally don't care about their solos!) and "Time" contains my favourite solo of Riida! ![]()

ehhh no love for Nino's Niji ?! D:
That's probably still his best if not THE best ARASHI solo I heard downpat I never get tired of seeing Nino playing the piano while singing Niji in their concert DVDs but yeah pretty much all the solos from Time were really good . Pretty much nothing can really top Time up man :O

![]() "truth" and "Niji" are the reasons why I got interested in Arashi. I could listen to this song for a week and don't get bored and I love it when Nino plays this song live. He always puts so much emotions into his "Niji"-performance...!!

Nino has a brain disease???
Ninomiya Kazunari shocks everyone as he revealed that he has brain disease on an Arashi hosted variety show, Arashi ni Shiyagare (Let's Make A Damn Storm), and that he might not be able to make an appearance on TV in two years or so. That day the variety show's content turn into a discussion of each of the members woes and how they would try to solve it. Sakurai confessed, "Everytime I wear a wool cap my hair falls out." Aiba Masaki said, "From the day I was born, I've never celebrated my birthday even once." They laughed at their petty troubles, and when Ninomiya talked about his in a relaxed tone, the mood turned somber. He mentioned that whether it was attending variety shows or performing intense dance moves, he felt extremely tired and exhausted. Despite adequate sleep time, he still feels fatigued. With a grim expression, neurologist Dr.Toshiyuki told Ninomiya, "This is a serious problem, I'm worried that if this goes on your life will be shortened, from forty five year old onwards your brain function will regress," and added, "The Ninomiya two years later might not be able to appear on TV." Upon hearing this the other Arashi members were very worried and asked Ninomiya about how serious his condition was and how he was dealing with it. The neurologist adviced him to bask in the sun for approximately ten minutes first thing when he wakes up and to consume more carbohydrates. Though by doing this, it is still unknown whether Ninomiya will be able to recover. http://community.livejournal.com/ara...t/1602657.html === GASP D: I don't know if this's true but already the title freaked the S outta me @_@

PLEASE don't let this be true! PLEASE...!!! ![]() EDIT: Okay, the title seems to be a bit misleading. Here is a statement from "arama" from somebody who watched that episode: Sorry but that is not true!!!!! I watched that episode! It is not a brain disease at all. So everyone don't worry. Ninomiya said that he was very tired all the time and he was always sleepy so he needed to talk all the time for him to stay awake. This is an effect from not being in the sun (Vitamin something... like the UV thingy that humans need) because he's always inside the house playing games. He also doesn't eat the right amount of foods causing him to be tired all the time. Watanabe-san (War Camerman) said that he should be eating a lot in the morning and at lunch time and make his body flow with the sun. While the sun is up, eat a lot and when it is down, go to sleep and relax. He also mentioned that he should eat fat food and stuff like that. Like Hamburgers, Steaks, French fries etc. Ninomiya doesn't/can't eat steak, but he considered that he will eat hamburgers because he likes that stuff. Then Dr. Toshiyuki told him that he needs to be in the sun more, and get into a healthy act. He also said that he needs to eat. It's not a brain disease. Nino just needs to take care of his body ![]() But I'm still worried...Nino looks often tired and "unmotivated"! JE makes him (and the others) work so freaking much, so he really needs to take better care of his health! Please Nino...?! Mhm...but this gets me thinking...I also often feel like he does. Maybe because I also don't like to go outside, but not because of playing games, but because I just hate the sun!! ![]()
