KarenPang · #1 11th February 2012, 01:33 AM

this is ARASHI~
In 1999, they debuted aboard a cruise ship in Hawaii, and have been making a storm across japan ever since! they are currently in their 14th year of success. ARASHI is managed by Johnny & Associates & their music is released under the record label, J-Storm.

Group Members

大野智 | Ohno Satoshi

♥ Ohno became the group's leader because of a Rock-Paper-Scissors game he did with Sakurai! He didn't even want to be the leader!
♥ A mama's boy! He says his mom still buys his clothes & that goes for his shoes too o_O!
♥ Known for his amazing artistic ability & he really LOVES fishing!
♥ Never fails to engage in neverending otherwise dead panned mannered verbal & physical fights against SMAP's leader Nakai Masahiro whenever the guys appear on the now defunct variety show Utaban in which Nakai's the host alongside with comedian Ishibashi Takaaki (who's part of the comedian duo Tunnels)
♥ Possibly the most quietest member in the group but if you give him a chance to talk , he will bound to say something amusing/funny to make everyone laugh in any good way possible

松本潤 | Matsumoto Jun (also known as MatsuJun)

♥ Jun is an elite in Johnny's - meaning that he is one of the only 3 men in Johnny & Associates who didn't have to audition as the boss himself Johnny-san called him personally on his handphone to join the company!
♥ Unofficially in a way or 2 loyal fans of him coined the term "Jun-bait" no thanks to his good looks and acting roles!
♥ Although the youngest, he's the most serious about ARASHI's work!
♥ Became the 1st male artist to pose on the cover of the now defunct (in Japan only) Marie Claire magazine
♥ In AHS , MatsuJun belongs to Beauty4123 / Lisa while Karen used to be his ex xD

二宮和也 | Ninomiya Kazunari (also known as Nino)

♥ Nino is the husband of Karen's french friend Nat xD
♥ Has made his Hollywood debut in Clint Eastwoods Letters from Iwo Jima!
♥ Loves to play jokes and pranks on other members!
♥ A self proclaimed Otaku!
♥ Together with Ohno , both of them form a duo called OhMiya which displayed a lot of *ahem* fanservice moments to the delight of fans!
♥ He has two mistresses in AHS, which are dreamland2.0 & ll moments ll !

櫻井翔 | Sakurai Sho

♥ Sho may seem to be the most manly in the group - but he's the biggest scaredy cat & he surprisingly screamed a lot more lesser than Aiba LOL LOL LOL during a special broadcast of Himitsu no Arashi-chan where they had to go in to investigate an inn that was 'haunted' ! & Sakurai can run REALLY fast . Faster than Aiba anytime of the day LOL
♥ Inspired many of his kouhai to attend college after getting into Keio University & in the process , graduated with a degree which he majored in Economics!
♥ Also hosts the popular news show NEWS ZERO!
♥ The designated rapper of the group who writes his own rap lyrics , this's also known as "Sakurap" . Because of him , this inspired his Junior , KAT-TUN's Tanaka Koki to do so too
♥ He's known as the brother in law of KarenPang! (LOL LOL LOL 8D )

相葉雅紀 | Aiba Masaki

♥ Aiba loves animals (even though he's scared of birds & kangaroos :O) which lead him to work on Tensai! Shimura Dobutsuen where he often gets to work (hilariously) with wild animals!
♥ Joined Johnny & Associates only to meet his idol V6's Miyake Ken and play basketball with SMAP!
♥ Loves speaking English - even though he's not too great at it!
♥ In the same wavelength (brain wise & then some) as BREAKERZ's frontman DAIGO
♥ Loves experimenting in lots of weird ways/manners you can imagine/think of in the band's variety shows ! So much so that he even has his own corner called Ai-land (short form for Aiba-land) in Arashi no Shukudai-kun!

Mhm...I know that, but Lisa did make a new one before you did (title: "let's go to the morning light and be Wild at Heart" --> or something like this!), but it seems like her thread has vanished somehow.

Very strange...!

KarenPang · #8 15th February 2012, 01:52 PM

Ohno Satoshi to unlock mysterious cases in Fuji TV’s next Monday drama

Two networks have just announced a new drama for the upcoming season and they both will be starring a member from the popular group Arashi. One of the networks is Fuji TV, who finally lifted the secret about their next Monday drama. It’s title is going to be ‘Kagi no Kakatta Heya‘ and will star Ohno Satoshi as the protagonist.

‘Kagi no Kakatta Heya’ is based on a mystery novel by Kishi Yuusuke. It tells the story of an employee of a major security firm (Ohno), who is solving the mysteries related to cases that happened behind closed doors. His job is to find out how the perpetrator entered the locked room and how he managed to leave it under such circumstances. He’s the best fit for the job, because he’s personally obsessed with keys and locks and even goes as far as claiming that ‘there are no locks that cannot be broken’. At first glimpse he looks like a calm and collected guy, but in the heat of solving the mystery behind a locked room he’s burning with an incredible tenacity. He’s an unconventional hero who is helping with cases one request after another.

For Ohno this is not only going to be his first Monday drama starring role, but also his first starring role on Fuji TV in general. He’s going to receive the baton from fellow Arashi member Matsumoto Jun, who is starring in this season’s Monday drama ‘Lucky Seven‘.

He commented, “It’s been a while since my last role as a human being. You’ll meet me behind closed doors!”

‘Kagi no Kakatta Heya’ is going to air every Monday at 9:00 pm

Aiba Masaki to unite with a crime solving cat for new drama on NTV

As mentioned in the previous article, two networks announced new dramas starring a member from Arashi. The other network is NTV, who announced a new drama called ‘Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri‘, starring Aiba Masaki as the protagonist.

‘Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri’ is based on a popular ‘Mikeneko Holmes‘ mystery novel series by Akagawa Jiro. It tells the story of ‘Katayama Yoshitaro’ (Aiba) who became a detective in order to comply with the dying wish of his father who was a famous detective himself. Katayama is currently with MPD’s First Investigation Division, although he’s not cut out to be a detective at all. He not only can’t see blood, but he’s also terribly afraid of heights, women, and ghosts. One day, he meets a cat with three colors of fur (‘mikeneko’) who goes by the name of ‘Holmes’. This cat can understand humans and it also possesses brilliant reasoning skills. The two of them form a team and together they manage to solve various difficult cases.

This role is going to mark Aiba’s first drama starring role on NTV and it’s going to be a funny one according to the producers. We are up for many verbal quarrels between the protagonist and the cat, and judging by his character, the protagonist is most probably going to come out as the loser more than just a few times.

Akagawa commented, “I’m looking forward to see how the chemistry is going to be between Aiba, from this generation’s leading group Arashi, and Mikeneko Holmes.”

Aiba himself said, “I’m very nervous, since the original is loved by so many people, but I’m also looking forward to the drama a lot. I hope I can find the best balance between the comical parts and the serious parts.”

NTV is going to air ‘Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri’ every Saturday at 9:00 pm.

Sho Sakurai enjoying the local drinks in Okinawa

On location shooting at a tropical beach with emerald green seas, Arashi’s Sho Sakurai and actress Keiko Kitagawa are in Okinawa to work the special drama episode of “謎解きはディナーのあとで (Nazo-toki wa Dinner no atode)”, reports Tokyo Walker on February 14.

The Nazo-toki team have been doing on location shoots since February 10 for the drama, which is based on the award-winning novel of the same name. The story follows Reiko Hosho (Kitagawa), one of the richest heiresses in the world and now a new police detective, and Kageyama (Sakurai), Reiko’s mean-mouthed butler who uses his amazing detective skills to guide Reiko to figure out who the killer is .

The production team and cast had spent two days on the Okinawa beach, where the weather stayed fine most of the time, although there was a little rain on the second day’s morning.

It has been reported in between shoots, Sakurai had a great time trying out the local drinks. During the night he would go into the convenience store to buy 泡盛 (Awamori, an alcoholic drink made in Okinawa). Then, during dinner Arashi would try some 古酒 (Kusu, old vintage Awamori).

Sakurai said this shoot felt like the real end to the drama.

“When we finished filming the drama series in December, we’d already been told there was going to be an special episode, so this shoot feels like the real finish. We’ve got a week’s worth of shooting to do, and I hope we can all give it our best and stay in one piece.”

The episode begins with the death of a Western painter. Then, the story moves to Okinawa. Not only will fans get to see Reiko and Kageyama work together to solve the mystery, the two will be joined by the drama’s regular cast and some special guests.

“謎解きはディナーのあとでスペシャル (Nazo-toki wa Dinner no atode Special)” will go on air in Japan on March 27.

Arashi mystery face off! Ohno and Aiba each get lead in two upcoming dramas

Arashi’s Satoshi Ohno and Masaki Aiba will star in dramas starting from April, it was announced on February 21, reports Sponichi Annex and Oricon.

Ohno will play a detective in “鍵のかかった部屋 (Kagi no Kakatta Heya, The Locked Room)”, while Aiba will play a police detective who solves cases with his partner, a cat, in “三毛猫ホームズの推理 (Mike-neko Holmes no Suiri, Calico Cat Holmes’ Mysteries)”.

“Let’s go out for drinks when we’ve finished shooting! If you’re having trouble solving a case then let me know,” Ohno said.

“Let’s go fishing when we finish shooting. I hope we’ll never give up, even when we can’t crack a case,” Aiba said.

“Kagi no Kakatta Heya” is based on Yusuke Kishi’s novel of the same name. Unlike normal detective stories, the novel focuses on cases that happened inside a room with locked doors and windows. It is up to Ohno’s detective character to solve the mystery. The Arashi leader said his new role is a complete change from his Kaibutsu-kun drama.

“It’s my first human role in a long time. It’s also a character I’ve never had experience with playing so I’m hoping to do my best! I’ll see you behind the closed door!”

“Mike-neko Holmes no Suiri” is based on Jiro Akagawa’s novel of the same name. It follows a police detective who manages to solve cases with the help of a calico cat who can understand human language and has a talent for solving mysteries. Aiba said there would be extra things to look out for in the drama other than his scared-of-looking-at-blood-and-scared-of-women police detective character.

“I want my acting to balance out my character’s comical side and serious side. There’ll also be a number of new characters made for the drama that don’t come up in the book.”

Lastly, Aiba had some advice for Ohno.

“Don’t get too sunburnt that the make up department tells you off!”

Arashi holds mini-live in Miyagi for Tohoku disaster victims

On February 22nd, Arashi visited Miyagi prefecture to hold a mini live at Shichigahama Kokusaimura. This was a part of NTV’s upcoming music program special called “Nittere-kei Ongaku no Saiten Ongaku no Chikara 2012“, which will be broadcasted on March 7th.

Though the members have visited the Tohoku disaster areas individually, this day marked the first time for all five members to pay a visit together. Before the mini live, they also made a stop at the temporary housing area in Ishinomaki city, communicating with the residents there. The boys invited 500 disaster victims to the live for free, and performed a total of 11 songs, including their new song “Wild at Heart” (to be released on March 7th).

Leader Ohno Satoshi commented, “I felt the power of people there. Everybody was high-spirited and had amazing smiles. It was a great atmosphere, as it even gave Arashi energy.” Fellow member Matsumoto Jun said, “I saw an audience member weep with emotion (at the live), but in the end, everyone there was smiling which made me realize the amazing power of music. With all the members together, I would like to search for things we could do.”

It was also announced that member Sakurai Sho will make a live appearance from the disaster area on NTV’s special news program, “NNN Houdou Tokuban ‘Fukkou TV Minna no Chikara 3・11′” as a ZERO caster. This special will be broadcast on March 11th, the anniversary of the Tohoku disaster.

Wild At Heart PV preview

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL this looks so epic & downright funny

Their comical dance in a 70s disco-style set , awesome xD

I have a feeling this's a PV I'm going to like a lot

nice that it's something they don't take themselves seriously haha

Midori-chan · #18 24th February 2012, 11:02 AM

I really like the PV-preview. The video looks like so much fun and reminds me a bit of the "Happiness"-PV! But I still don't like the song!

Well...I will just watch it on mute!

KarenPang · #19 24th February 2012, 01:48 PM

The 70's disco scenes shots kinda reminded me of NEWS's Koi no ABO haha

But yeah it looks very ... mismatched & distorted ? there's just so much going on in the Wild At Heart PV preview , hopefully the full version wouldn't be a mess considering the song's under 3 mins supposedly :x

Beauty4123 · #20 24th February 2012, 09:46 PM
