Endless Game -short ver.-



So it's true , the Endless Game PV does pays homage to Sakurai's Kazoku Game drama after all & it's not as complex/complicated as what I thought so haha

Nice on what I've seen so far

[TeamAyu2004]

amazing NINKI! and i can't wait for the MUSIC STATION performance!

[Bigtop]

Yeah, no surprise there. Not even 2NE1 can beat them. And the fact that's the only interested artist that I have for next week... (and I'm not surprised about the upcoming MS)

[KarenPang]

1st page of the thread has been updated with new group & solo Endless Game promo shots

MatsuJun looks great . Sakurai oddly looks bored o_O

[Beauty4123]

the boys are looking really great in the "Endless Game" promo pictures!

[Beauty4123]

"Endless Game" PV:


the PV was so amazing! and the song is really good, too!

[KarenPang]

Wow awesome song , sounds like nothing like their previous stuff which's great

Wasn't expecting a little slow bridge prior to the end but Endless Game is a big hit to me & I thought Face Down was super catchy

The PV was a bit random , I don't think it's their best but the upclose shots of them were great

[KarenPang]

Endless Game has leaked out

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=117957

I must say , the 3 B-sides are very experimental . Each of them are very different from what they used to do

Intergalactic is awesome omg I need a bit more time to listen to Monochrome & Magic hour but I think overall Endless Game is really solid

And I thought Calling / Breathless was great

[KarenPang]

Arashi's Sho Sakurai Admits His Family Didn't Approve Of His Idol Career Before

During the Fuji TV talk show TokuDane! where Arashi's Sho Sakurai guested, the popular idol member admitted that his parents got mad when they found out that he will be entering Johnny's Entertainment and will be taking on an idol career. He said that he kept his application a secret from his parents.

Aside from his parents, his grandparents were also not convinced of the career he was pursuing and would frequently ask the 30-year-old idol when he will quit. Being discouraged since his family weren't that supportive anyway, there was some point where Sakurai also thought about quitting, "I was thinking that I'd probably quit Johnny's Jr. when I was about 17 or 18. Well, I liked what I was doing and was treating it as something like an extra-curricular club activity," which was mainly the reason why he continued on with it.

The time when his parents finally accepted his career was when they agreed to go to his solo concert when he was around 22 or 23 years old because even when Sakurai already became part of Arashi, his family weren't going to their concerts but that time, he casually invited them and asked, "I have a concert this weekend, can you come?" and their response was "Maybe we should". Sakurai commented, "I think that was the time they finally accepted me. They've been coming to our (Arashi) concerts ever since."

[Beauty4123]

the b-sides on the "Endless Game" single are fantastic! "Intergalactic" is totally amazing, "Magic hour" is great, and "Monochrome" is really nice.
