[ARASHI] The 33rd thread ~ 45th single Sakura (25.2)

YesAsia's description of GUTS !

Arashi creates the youth anthem of the year with their latest single! Guts is the theme song for television drama Yowakutemo Katemasu ~Aoshi Sensei to Heppoko Koukou Kyuji no Yabou (starring Arashi member Ninomiya Kazunari), and it's a stirring ballad that will inspire anyone's youthful spirit, regardless of age

Somehow I don't consider GUTS ! as a ballad

"Daremo Shiranai" @ MUSIC STATION:


The performance was amazing! I'm really liking how "Daremo Shiranai" sounds, it sounds very cool just by watching this performance! I'm looking forward to listening to the full song. I also thought Arashi's dancing was so cool, too!

I also just watched the "GUTS !" PV preview & I love it! It looks like it'll be such a fun PV to watch. I absolutely love the dancing, lol. Arashi are so cute when they dance! I also really like the outfits their wearing in the PV, too. I can't wait to watch the full PV!

Meiji University To Offer A Course on Boy Band Arashi

The prestigious Meiji University, a private institution located in Tokyo, is offering a class on the boy band,Arashi.

While this marks the first time the class will be devoted to Arashi, the class itself, a study in social psychology, has been offered for twenty years. Due to students' demands for a study on sexuality, the course has also previously discussed the band SMAP.

This year's course comes at a good time—Arashi is celebrating their 15th anniversary, having debuted in 1999.

According to the syllabus, the following topics will be covered:

* Introduction -Arashi's Era
* The Culture of Johnny's Entertainment
* Before Arashi, focusing on SMAP
* Changes in Arashi's PVs - Before the big break
* Changes in Arashi's PVs - After the big break
* A comparison of the members of Arashi
* Arashi members as they appear on variety shows
* Arashi in dramas
* Arashi in concert
* Arashi and J-Pop
* Arashi and K-Pop
* Johnny's Entertainment post-Arashi
* Overview on the Era of Arashi
* Test

For the rest of us, it seems like we'll be confined to studying Arashi PVs on our own.

A university class of all things Arashi!? Whoa... This could be really interesting...

So why is this class being covered as a study in social psychology?

[KarenPang]

The full PV of GUTS ! is already uploaded online

I like it so much more than Bittersweet as it's just so entertaining/fun from start til finish

I hope it can sell more than Bittersweet as frankly I didn't like Bittersweet that much
