DANG KAREN. i only fully support 2 & randomly buy the others. :laugh

awww, i freaking love ARASHIC. it's my favorite other than "Iza, Now". :D

:laugh

well outta the 12 , 4 of them are temporary units so it's ok xD

ARASHIC - I just love the whole album & it flows very well from the start to the end & it has the best (on the sly) MatsuJun solo song I Want Somebody as that's the only solo song that I can tolerate from him

the rest sorry ar , C.M.I aka Cannot Make It in Singlish slang

i can also tolerate "tell me what you wanna be" despite jun acting like he's on crack in the performances of it :laugh but my man is at his best when he's like that! :smitten

:roflmao

I know that feeling too well , same thing when Kame did w/o notice ?? in the QUEEN OF PIRATES DVD :lmfao

I'm sorry to double post this but I CANNOT RESIST IT

scans of MatsuJun in the latest June issues of Galac & POPEYE - http://aznongaku.blogspot.com/2009/0...jun-scans.html

O.M.G

@__________________________________@

oh dear I so am NOT able to sleep soundly tonight LMFAO *points to POPEYE xD

& just so you know he also posed last June for POPEYE so it has been exactly a year when that happened

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNN Getting Jun-baited for the 2nd time noooo *runs back to Kame & Ueda , run* :roflmao

The wife aka Lisa will be drooling all over the place :rofl xD xD xD

The last POPEYE pic was really the last straw for me , cannot take it already *fans fans fans self*



===

Ikuta Toma will be on VS ARASHI next month on 27th - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/1642653.html

:heart

I was having dinner while I was listening to Arashic, so :D I'll listen to it again before it disappears from my folders ~

the album didn't left my room CD stereo for days when I 1st got it alongside with One and Iza , Now (all cost me S$72 each @_@ considering that it's Japan press that I snagged all of them from the local HMV ick)

frankly worth every penny I paid for all 3 albums :lmfao

OMG TOMA?! :luv2 i love him! his new drama is sooo good! kaori, you should watch it :D i wonder how he'll interact with ohno :laugh

i'm now off to see those scans, karen :mischief

:roflmao :roflmao

the Potato May '09 avater of MatsuJun is :luv2

Ikuta Toma - I want to see him interact with Ohno the most for obvious reasons :yes

Lisa - I swear I cannot sleep well after I saw the POPEYE scans of MatsuJun :thud

Eirynne's going :yatta that I'm probably going back to him again :rofl

was snopping around CDJapan & I found this :

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOIPS-594

ooh I hope someone will buy & scan it up in due time :cool

btw Lisa the URL link pertaining to the ARASHI thread , you haven't updated yet on your banner

i figured that i'd forget to update it! :laugh will fix it now.

:D

Preview of Ashita no Kioku PV :D - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FsKYttrbEA

wow nothing like what I expected , it's very erm 'clean' & the part where they used photos to make a HUGE college on the walls , that's so cool

I definitely can sense that this time round , budgets for both PVs have been scaled down from the previews I have seen but it's ok , they still can deliver the goods :cool

^ thanks Kaori & no surprises that I kept on staring hard at MatsuJun & my brother in law Sakurai HARD when I saw the preview

@_@

The PV makes me feel sad for some reason.

OMFG THEY LOOK LIKE ANGELS! :love jun finally looks AMAZING tooo :thud

yea, it's not as high budget as past singles, but i still love it. i think i know why they put pics on the wall. those are the "memories". and isn't ashita no kioku "memories of tomorrow"? :laugh but don't they look so cute while doing that? like i said, ANGELS! :weep

the "Ashita no Kioku" PV looks quite nice. i quite like Arashi's simplier PVs. simple, but well done! :D

YES it has come back already Kaori @_@ :dead2

Lisa should be worried LMAO :roflmao

I wouldn't blame you for saying that Mishelle because I think the song's about a plea for desperation ?

true

I don't like it when they make something so cheem (complicated in Singlish)

just simple & erm white will do nicely :laugh

===

sales update :

:heart

actually karen, YOU should be worried! if your going after MY man, then your gonna have to pass through me! :mischief

:laugh

I take my chances :innocent

cool! i only heard "green" once last year, but that was a horrible low quality concert rip. i'd love an HQ version :yes

YAY :D :D

at least Green didn't go to waste . I was so hoping that it will be included as a B-side or something in Ashita / Crazy Moon but no luck on that :(

at least it's being used for TOUCH ! Eco '09 & it's quite fitting , title wise

thanks alot! appreciate it. :) and the Ashita no Kioku PV PREVIEW is so nice and simple i must say. i like the part where they paste polaroids (if i'm not wrong) on the wall to make it into a flower. its NICEEEE.

ah.. and i'm sorry for the lack of involvement for the past few days cause i've been very very busy trying to find jobs and sending out resumes.

Guests for next week's MUSIC STATION

2009.05.22

• Arashi - Crazy Moon ~Kimi wa Muteki~
• GLAY - I am xxx
• THE BOOM - Yume Kara Samete
• Sukima Switch - Niji no Recipe
• DJ MAKIDAI feat. Aoyama Thelma - Dreamlover
• Fukuyama Masaharu - Keshin
• Mano Erina - Hajimete no Keiken

MEGA :D :D :D :D :D

I was actually hoping for Ashita no Kioku (since they already did their 1st live promo for Crazy Moon on Utaban) & it seems like this time round they're promoting the 2nd A-side more than the 1st which's a bit weird

but anyway who cares lmao , any form of live promo on their part's good for me xD

===

34 secs PV preview of Crazy Moon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRGNb...layer_embedded

I think J Storm spent waay too much on Believe / KNK's PVs -_-''' which resulted in the lower than expected budgets this time round for Ashita / Crazy Moon but it's ok

still good for me haha

OMG NEXT WEEK MS?! i'm home next friday (i have a 4 day weekend! :cool) so it works out perfectly!

and the PV preview is really fine with me. the lighting and the hotness of everyone makes up for the cheap-ness of the PV :laugh

:laugh

that's true

hopefully they will be performing at MUSIC STATION 2 weeks back to back *___*

wow those stats are amazing Kaori

I'm still shocked that at this point in time , AAA 2 DVD's sales are so much higher than what I expected :thud

i'm freeeee ~~ (well, just for today x.x)
so MSTA for next week?? GREAT (but i wanted to see ashita no kioku live u.u)
am i the only who has it in my head over & over??

oh, and new sho drama?!! GREAT :heart
that meas, another single? lol


damn .. i needed to post here lol (******* u university lol)

^i was talking about "green" , not ashita no koiku
i'll try to be here more often (at least these week) 'couse my exams start in june, and i'm starting to freack out !!

now, i'm gonna DL right now the ep.3 of the Quiz Show, 'couse i haven't seen it yet. :no

i thought it was a dorama, not that type of show lol x_x
(i'm a silly boy hahaha)

lol Kaori I'm quite sure when ARASHI will be touring in due time this year , everyone will be coming back here :laugh

now KAT-TUN & Kanjani8 are both touring it's kinda expected for these threads to be more busier than usual isn't it ?

Sakurai came in top in the male category for 'who you want to be your teacher' ? - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/1659558.html

:D

congrats sho!!! i imagine sho teaching in a class... i'll be staring at him all the classes even if i don't know what he's saying lol
(well.. i changed my sets !! lol)

your sets are awesome! :love

wow, their right by the gokusen movie studio? does that mean jun will have a cameo? :lech and what PV did they all shoot together? unless they mean ashita no kioku or something...

but lol, ohno is soo cute! speaking of ohno, this video i found on youtube is so funny!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVoTEv_2PgU

:laugh i love how jun is just so "mean" and ohno is still a sweetheart. :P

MirrocleHeaven* - your avater & signature set are lovely

I like that Ohno icon with the hand puppets , super cute !

& the guys blew it at the latest VS ARASHI episode again :roflmao & today's AnS , it's another Sakurai Vs Ohno drawing competition -_-'''

it's only sunday where i am! AnS didn't already air, did it? because i'd love to see ohno VS sho again :laugh those drawings were HILARIOUS on G no Arashi!

tonight i'm gonna watch VS arashi and mago mago arashi :D

oh it's already Mon morning at my end Lisa that's why I said today & not yesterday

& I know Sakurai just suck big time when comes to his horrible drawings

I don't know what benefit/s will arise this time round when comes to another Sakurai Vs Ohno drawing contest in AnS man -_-'''

that's the thing , it doesn't do anything good for Sakurai in any single way

haha if you think Sakurai's drawing's bad , wait til you see Tackey's xD

:laugh

yeah I have seen Sakurai's drawings , it's just horrible beyond words . I'm just baffled on why they're going to do the whole Sakurai Vs Ohno once again on AnS

it doesn't benefit anyone & just let Sakurai being the DoM in here & getting insults once more from Nino & MatsuJun , tsk

i'm downloading AnS right now... but i think i won't have the time to see it until friday u.u
i want to see sho and his horrendus paints lol !!! :heart (u know, even if he doesn't know how to draw, i still love him lol)

i don't see today's AnS uploaded anywhere! :weep where'd you get it from, mirrocleheaven*?

and as for sho, he may not be so good at physical activities and stuff, but he suuure knows how to be ~gangsta~ :dead2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9wVp5M09Io

i've been watching 2 other performances of this (one from the taipei concert and one from AA 2007) and i can't get over how hot sho is, and the song is just SO good! is there a longer version of this song anywhere?

I know LMAO

poor thing , he's only books smart & not street smart -_-'''

the guys will be on HEYx next Mon :D - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/1665121.html

does anyone know wtf happened to stormy team on LJ? i know they were having problems with people stealing their stuff but i reapplied and wrote like a damn essay on the question "what makes arashi arashi" and I still haven't been accepted yet...which was like a week ago :irked I need to know what is happening with Quiz Show :( Stormy Team is the only one subbing right? I'll just try and join again tonight..

i just re-applied for the STORMY team on saturday. i didn't check to see if i got back in, though. but yea, their also gonna stop subbing arashi dramas after this season :( i dunno how i'm gonna watch future jdramas with subs now :(

i think they'll still sub, but not jdramas? i haven't read their important post since saturday, so maybe my memory is fuzzy :laugh but yea, it's sad. :(

this's not really ARASHI related of sorts but Kaori , this's for you - http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90203

I love the 1st part of the PV , the drawing that Ohno did on the wall's :O

everyone looked in anguish in there , kinda the same mood vibes that they gave in truth , considering the theme of Ashita no Kioku & BOO for short versions :eviltongu

I hate you J Storm :grumpy but it's ok , the PVs will be up in due time xD

ugh, short version. i'll watch it in the morning, i'm too lazy right now :laugh i'd prefer the full PV to be uploaded first, though. :grumpy

they cut the PV off, as usual, right at the good scenes :grumpy i love the whole setting and and everything. the boys look so sad and peaceful. :weep

LOL i owed karen a pic of that matsujun card, so i figured i'd also include myself in it as well. BUT I DON'T LOOK CUTE OR GREAT, OKAY? i know your all lying! :eviltongu :laugh

dammit Yuckie has updated & uploaded a whole buncha scans via http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_yuuki/

I originally used the latest MatsuJun pic from July's PINKY but I go back to Kame LMAO xD

LOL & no I'm really serious when I said that about you Lisa

should you ever see me in real life you probably will run away LMAO . I'm so tall & I feel like a giant if I stand besides you & Eirynne

I stand at 5ft9 inches if you want to know on that @_@

xD xD xD

man it's not fair . Why you girls (Kaori , Lisa & Eirynne) are SO petite as compared to me ? ;_; . It's even worst if I wear heels man O_O

blame that on my dad & his relatives . His grandpa's tall & my dad's tall & the cycle goes on :dead2

I will be bloody stoked if Ashita no Kioku / Crayz Moon can overtake Believe / KNK's sales

if not it's ok really as I somehow know their new single will bound to sell a LOT :laugh

now....where is that crazy moon PV?! :grumpy i better see it uploaded tonight!

LOL see I told you :laugh
