Arashi

[Guest geishaOo]

i really want to see the new vs episode where chiinen and another heysayjump member guests on the show. usually i only care to watch shukudai because random things come up more often but chiinen and ohno together is cute! chiinen has such a naturally good smile.

[Guest jeniez]

I love 5X10 as well, I love the parts where Arashi were singing "Arigatou" to the fans. My tears were falling as I was listening to this song. I can't wait for Arashi's 10th Anniversary activities to begin.

10 Songs Selection by Arashi for Best Album

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7UZy3bj3Nk...feature=channel

I like these selections. "Yes? No?" is one of my favorite songs by them. I could listen to it everyday. "Still..." is also my favorite because of Sho's rap. "Subarashi Sekai" is so pretty. I'm glad it made the cut. It's always hard to choose favorite songs by them. T-T

"5X10" Translation

The lyrics are really beautiful. <3

LOL at Ohno saying he never knows when to start singing during "Kotoba Yori Taisetsu na Mono."

[Guest lyyduh]

I loveee the 5x10 song. The lyrics are beautiful. I can't wait to get my cd! And ^ Lol, I love how Ohno only thinks of fishing whenever he hears/thinks of Beautiful Days. He musta really missed it when doing Maou... AH I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY CD.

[Guest depressionalism]

Also saw this on 2ch:

Limited Edition - 5×10[5:28]

Regular Edition - 5×10[8:18]

So it seems like 5x10 on the Regular Edition will be 3 minutes longer than the Limited Edition. Hmmm I wonder why....

That's interesting. I would think that it would be the other way around. Maybe it's a secret talk? That would be nice.

I really like the way this article is written. "As that blessed baby welcomed the eleventh month since his birth, a star fell into the Chiba prefecture this time. " Aw. The part where Aiba talks about his hospitalization breaks my heart. T-T <3

Himitsu no Arashi-cha Navi (June 27, 2009) Translation and Anecan (January 2009) Translation

Sho's going to be a busy bee!

Arashi's Sho Sakurai (27) is going to appear in a special election program titled "ZERO x Senyko 2009," airing on NTV on August 30. After Arashi finishes a 10th anniversary concert at the National Olympic Stadium, Sakurai will join the show's "Part 2," which starts at 12:15am. This is his second appearance on an election program, after the House of Councillors election in July 2007.

Full translation here.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up running for Prime Minister one day, lol.

Also, the release date for "Tengoku de Kimi ni Aetara" has changed to September 24th, 2009.

[Guest depressionalism]

hearing Sho gg to appear at the ZERO x Senyko 2009 right after the concert, i bet he's goona be dead tired...

hope he'll get a good rest after all that is over

hehe

i hope so abt the different length in the 5x10 maybe they'll have a SP msg at the end of the song..maybe some words of gratitude by each member to theirfans...omo i think i'm gg to buy the regular edition already...hehe

[Guest jeniez]

Sho-kun is going to be so busy this summer. I hope he will be able to handle everything. I would like to see Prime Minister Sakurai one day too LOL.

A secret message to the fans on the RE of 5x10 would be really nice. I kind of want the regular edition now too.

Orisuta (August 2009) - Ninomiya Kazunari Part 2 Translation

One of the producers of "Strangers On a Train" wrote a blog and wrote a little bit about Nino. Read the translated bits here. It seems that Nino has been suffering from lower back pains for a while now and backstage, but he is a professional on stage. Poor darling. I hope he's getting treatment before it gets even worse. T-T

[Guest depressionalism]

i so love this week HnA and yes i cannot wait for nxt week's one too

esp the Mennequin 5 segment...hehe

I hope Nino's back gets better before the concert. Poor guy, having to do butai every single day on top of his regular schedule must not be good for his back.

Very good episode. Lots of cute OhnoxChinen and Ohmiya moments. Oh-chan talked a lot of this episode surprisingly, I guess it's because Chinen was there.

[Guest artful_DODGER]

VS Arashi 2009.08.15 with HSJ's Chinen and Yamada

I thought Sho was so adorable during Rolling Coin Tower. The Nino vs. Chinen part was funny. I love when Aiba tells Chinen to lie down, but Chinen doesn't believe him until they get Ohno to tell him to lie down and he does it immediately, lol.

Nino's picture of him peeking out from under the covers is freaking adorable. T-T <3

I came across this today and was amazed. I wonder how much of that they really see.

The eight minute track has a hidden track that has snippets of:

- Edo Harumi's Gu-gag

- Right Back To You : mada mada hold me tight

- Step And Go : rolling rolling

- Re(mark)able

Download it here.

It's SUPER fast and catchy, lol. I really love it.

I love the hidden track, it is super catchy. Makes me wanna get up and dance lol. Thanks for pointing out the snippets, I only caught Right Back To You and Step and Go's parts the first time I heard the song. I guess Edo Harumi's Gu gag is when MatsuJun goes

この静けさの中 setting 南北から faking (come on) ~ I thought the settingu and fakingu parts were pretty funny. I need to go listen for Re(mark)able now, this is actually kind of fun.

Just checked HMV and they're processing my order, hopefully they'll ship the CD out to me soon

[Guest lisaaa]

omg the hidden track is amazing! i've been playing it on repeat for the past 30 minutes. it totally reminds me of an ORANGE RANGE song.
