aiko will be on next week's Himitsu , in the VIP guest corner

@Beauty: :D
No problem at all!

And you're sooooo right! I LOVE their English too. I'm always so happy, when I can hear them speaking English, so this episode of "Himitsu no Arashi-chan" is definitely one of my favourite ones!! :heart

Kuwata Keisuke receives kisses from Matsumoto Jun and aiko!

On February 25th, singer Kuwata Keisuke (55) made his first appearance on Music Station since his recovery from esophagus cancer. To congratulate him, Arashi’s Matsumoto Jun (27) and singer-songwriter aiko (35) each kissed him on a cheek at the start of the show!

Kuwata performed two tracks on the show from his new album, “Musicman“.

During his battle with cancer, the singer says he often wrote lyrics to distract himself. He joked, “I tried really hard to come up with lyrics in the CT scan, but I got nothing.”

Check out the kisses for yourself at around the 2:20 mark

There we go. Another 500,000-plus single again - I mean, they're racking up those again!

almost 500k!! :D looks like arashi's crazy singles sales have yet to be stopped, lol. since 2008, their sales just get better & better. so proud! :weep

They're still selling like crazy I see. :D Awesome. :)

People, where can I download Arashi's discography? Japanesemusicdream.com has collapsed so I can't use that anymore and there's no other place where I could find their music. :< And I really want to listen some more (I've heard their 2008 singles and they're pretty good).

Arashi’s “Lotus” tops Oricon Weekly Chart

Arashi’s 35th single “Lotus” has sold 541,000 copies in its first week, making it number one this week on Oricon’s Weekly Single Ranking.

“Lotus” is Arashi’s 24th consecutive first place single since “PIKA★★NCHI DOUBLE”, which was released in February 2004, and is their 31st overall. Arashi has held their first place position for eight consecutive years.

“Lotus” is also the theme song for the drama “Bartender” which, Arashi member, Aiba Masaki stars in.

if not for the fact that PIKA★★NCHI DOUBLE didn't went to #1 , they would have set another record of the different kind haha

There goes another 540,000 again!

YAY ARASHI!!! :yatta :smitten congrats to the boys!
