oh yay! i'm glad it'll be subbed! :D

i'll have to think up a new thread title, soon. when the thread gets to like...post 490, LOL. i know, i'm slow. :laugh

i'm gonna watch the PV preview again, now. the song already got in my head! :tipsy i can't wait for a radio rip & covers to leak!

Me too! Me too! :yes
I think the whole fandom is excited about Aiba's new dorama!

Ah yes, the covers! I hope they will be as awesome as the ones for "Monster"! :heart


I'm sure you will come up with a great title!! :yes

okay, so i just saw that new fasio CM karen has posted! and.....:blove if only matsujun could put on mascara for me, too, LOL. :laugh :lech

he looks so goooorgeous! :weep

LOL yeah my sister hated Nino's guts in the drama & at 1 point in time , Nino was her most hated ARASHI member cos of this :lmfao

omg Stand Up !! :roflmao , I seriously am considering to watch the drama because of DAIGO (DAIGO STARDUST) even though he only appeared in 1 episode (while he only speak like what 2 lines there xD) but nah I don't think I will :p

@ Lisa - I TOLD YOU SO :P

:roflmao i guess i shouldn't underestimate the power of arashi's new single announcements! "Lotus" really does look sooo amazing! :luv2

I wouldn't lie that I had ??? when I saw the title of the single but omg when I saw the PV preview + song preview , I was really blown away super big time

they need to release a new album after Lotus , 5 singles is a lot already xD

after 3 mid-tempo kind of songs, it's a shocker to hear an upbeat & pretty different song! it's an amazing surprise!!

after watching the PV preview a few more times, i think i can see some familiar dance moves. some are a bit similar to Monster, i think, lol. :P but i still love the dance!

it sucks that the PV won't be out until like...february. :( thanks to short versions, we get PVs so late all the time. but i look forward to seeing the covers & hearing a clearer version of the song! it's like an upbeat "truth"! :tipsy

kinda posting so we can finish the thread, soon....:innocent

i forgot when sho's birthday is, lol. i think it's sometime next week? can someone please remind me? :roflmao

It's on the 25th according to wiki
he will be 29!!

^ thank you caroline! :) i can't believe sho will be 29 this year! he looks too cute! :weep

Arashi members explain the goodness of NINTENDO 3DS

Another new CM for NINTENDO 3DS starring the Arashi members has been released! The previous CMs were to show the reactions of the members while they were playing the NINTENDO 3DS for the first time, but for the newest versions, the members are asked, “Please explain in plain words how NINTENDO 3DS is for people watching this

http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/01/ara...-nintendo-3ds/

arashi & nintendo = :love

speaking of the 3DS, they were talking about it on the news last night, and i really wanted to see them play one of those CMs with arashi! but of course, they didn't, lol. :grumpy :P

anyway, i found a really nice HD PV preview of Lotus on youtube! sho's wearing a glove! :luv2

need PV now!! :weep those white suits are just too hot!

you could also hear more of Lotus in this Bartender interview, but because of talking, it's hard to clearly hear. :(

it's annoying that the single wouldn't be out til 23rd Feb but yet covers & the finalised tracklist haven't been released yet ;__;

it kinda sucks when they're tormenting people with the PV preview currently , it's not fair I tell you ~_~

i know! this rarely happens with arashi! so i never expected to see that a PV preview has already been leaked! JE is teasing us! :scry

especially when the PV & song are sounding really great, so it sucks! :grumpy i've lost all my patience in the past week! :laugh

I went to Kinokuniya earlier on with my sister & they're already selling the March issue of Popolo D:

I took this with my phone which's at the back of the magazine 8D
