Guest july-eighth Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Ahaha, everytime I see the word "arashi" now, I go off singing "ARASHI ARASHI FOR DREAM~~!" (Like it messes me up when I'm listening to Yabu Kota sing Arashi no Carnival, and yeah...) Hmm, my favorite is Ohno. HE CAN DANCE LIKE HELL, YEAH! Oh, and ever since my friend pointed this out to me [that their pants are really tight and high-rise for some of their suits], I end up staring at their crotches. It's the clothes. I bet you they made them like that on purpose. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest novemberbaby Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I'm not really into Arashi as a group but I really like Jun, Nino and Sho. Jun is one of my favorite Japanese actors. I like all of his characters, especially Shin from Gokusen. Nino is so adorable. Makes me want to pinch his cheeks all the time. And Sho...he's so smart! Plus, I really like him in Kisarazu Cat's Eye =) Their songs are pretty good and I can't wait for their "Love So Sweet" single! "Wish" is also good too ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jinjin<3 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I really like Sho and Aiba. I used to like Matsujun but he seems like such a perfectionist and so cold that it makes me cringe sometimes. I like Sho because even though he's freaking smart, he doesn't mind acting like an idiot sometimes and has a sense of humor... haha. And he seems a little spoiled too since he's from a rich family. I like Aiba because he's such a loveable dork and so funny. He's really good with kids too and doesn't mind when they poke fun at him ("they" being anybody and everybody). LOL.

Oh god, the feathers. Anyways, I think this is the 2nd year in a row that they wore pink at the countdown. Hehehe I don't know if you've ever seen but during the Johnny's countdown once V6 got Golden suits that looked like space outfouts with golden feathers on their back and side... I've liked arashi since their debut, i'm so excited to see Nino in the Iwo Jima movie and off course currently Jun in hana yori dango 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
