And I'm really surprised you don't know the concept of VS ARASHI . It's a weekly game show that has been airing for the past 4 years

Out of the 3 variety shows they're hosting on a weekly basis , VS ARASHI is the most fun as it's very hands on , unlike the other 2 which can get very boring with both HnA & AnS being very talk show based driven

Channel U has already confirmed this on their website ^___^

Not sure about VS Arashi as i wasnt their hardcore fan - their music is my main concern.
Ok I cant wait to watch it.

Arashi's Satoshi Ohno Collaborative Design T-Shirts Becomes Huge Seller



Arashi's Satoshi Ohno collaborated with designer Yoshimoto Nara for the 24 Hr TV "Love Saves the World" chari-t-shirts. The said annual charity event have chosen Arashi as their main host for the 3rd time.

The future-themed t-shirts have sold 596,203 in just a month and a half. They have surpassed the 2008 record with 458,306 shirts. Furthermore, at the rate of 2,000 t-shirts sold each day, the Nara-Ohno collaboration might even surpass 600,000 sales.

The front design of the t-shirts represent a child whose huge eyes was painted with the word "future" (将来); it also has a sprout on its head that represents "a new beginning". Lastly, the "future" word at the back was written by Ohno.

New compilation album Ura-Ara-Mania



Arashi will release a compilation album called "Ura Ara(shi) Mania", which will consist of 62 songs: 49 are b-sides, and 13 other songs. They will include "rare" tracks, songs that are popular in concerts, and hidden tracks. The album package will not include photos of the members.

The preorder starts 8/16 to 8/23 (24:00) and is only available through J-Storm website, and only those with a valid Japanese address may order. (at least for now) The listed price is 6,000yen, and 1 CD per person.

http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/4144389.html

holy crap but everything about Ura-Ara-Mania seems so wrong

1) pointless compilation album release
2) can't even buy via a valid website other than J-Storm
3) so expensive
4) no photos of anyone in the booklet ?

Strictly for hardcore ARASHI fans

[Beauty4123]

i thought arashi's next release might be a new single. i didn't expect a compilation album! but it's okay. any new arashi release is good, lol.

[Bigtop]

That's something that I did NOT expect...but why does it have to be "Japanese only"??? That's really not fair to global fans!

And, yes, I want a new single SOON... While there's rare songs, I'm guessing that there isn't any "new" songs in this album...

Never would have thought they included Sketch in the tracklist but I say most of the B-sides , I recongise the titles

Even if Ura-Ara-Mania is made available to be sold to the general public , I still will not buy it . I don't have any incentive especially if you have all their singles from their debut until Your Eyes

6,000 Yen for this doesn't seem like a good investment to me either

More details on Ura Ara Mania

Arashi is holding their concert “AraFes” at Tokyo National Stadium for the fifth time this year and will be trying out some new ideas for their concert, including performing a repertoire voted by fans and doing away with back-up dancers.

To commemorate “AraFes”, Arashi is releasing a special compilation album titled “Ura Ara Mania” comprising 62 songs, 49 of which are coupling B-sides. Besides the coupling B-sides, the album also includes rare songs that are difficult to obtain, popular concert melodies and hidden songs. It’s described as an album that can be enjoyed by both fans who will and will not be attending “AraFes”.

[yatsuda]

I ordered it... and I hope I *DO* get tickets to AraFes... I should get a confirmation at the end of this month.

Oh, and Arashi's on TV this week promoting 24hr tv... Yay!

happy 29th birthday MatsuJun !

Arashi might be this year’s Kohaku music special hosts

Arashi might be picked up to be NHK’s New Year’s Eve music special hosts for the third time, reports Tokyo Sports on September 7.

It has been reported NHK producers are beginning to look for potential hosts for Kohaku Uta Gassen’s red (akagumi) female artist team, and white (shirogumi) male artist team.

“A production team for the show has been finalised, and now they’ve begun discussions about what to do this year. At this rate, Arashi will probably be asked to be the shirogumi hosts for the third straight year,” said one source from NHK.

Although no one can definitely say this will happen, there is no denying the fact the group attracted TV ratings of over 40% in their past two Kohaku shows.

It has beee reported the most likely candidate for the women’s akagumi host this year will be actress Maki Horikita, who has been playing the main character in NHK’s popular drama 梅ちゃん先生 (Ume-chan Sensei).

Such a waste , Face Down should have sold much more than Wild At Heart ._.

[yatsuda]

^I totally agree about face down!!

I guess that a medley is the only thing they could sing on MS... unless they've got news of a new release?

*sigh*... I didn't get tickets to Arafes. I'm disappointed. Seriously wondering whether I should renew my membership...

[Beauty4123]

totally can't wait for that MUSIC STATION performance!
