Wow, Arashi's singles sell better their studio albums...!

^ I think all JE SIngle sell more than studio Album

^ unfortunately but true

usually JE singles tend to sell even more than their albums although it's a rarity that sometimes the opposite will happen

one love shot up from that special edition with matsujun dialogue, i think? the power of the junbaited fangirls, lol.

EDIT: omg, another PV preview?! gonna watch!!

aww, it's so nice and simple! i'm reminded of KT's "SIGNAL" for some reason, haha. i'm gonna check to see if anything is gonna air.

EDIT #2: as usual, no air date for any PV yet. :grumpy

One Love - I think so . I guess the reissue of the single's helping big time

& come to think about it Lisa , yes the Kaze no Mukou e PV does seem quite SIGNAL-ish . I was having a bit of deja vu feeling when I saw the preview

*cries* no full PVs yet , I'm crushed :weep

I finished watching the 4 Eng subbed episodes of Maou in the afternoon , wow I say , Ohno scared the crap outta me , I didn't realise he can portray such a 2 faced creep well

probably too well

luckily my younger sister told me to watch in the afternoon because I know if I were to do that at night , I cannot get a good sleep after that :dead2

no PV ? :weep:grumpy

*cries in a corner*


what ? wait ! NUMBER 4 !!!!!! omg that is just too awesome ! :yatta

i can check MTV japan's site, but do JE artists ever air on there? i only saw KAT-TUN's "keep the faith" on youtube, and it was from MTV. so i'll check for arashi, i guess.

you might want to consider to check SSTV's website too ?

i check SSTV everyday, along with M-ON!, and i never see the PVs even listed. :weep

i checked MTV, and nothing's airing on there at all, so the only hope is SSTV and M-ON! i wish the PVs could just be listed, at least. that way they'll add an airdate later on.

^ :(

Where're the tarot cards that were used in the past 5 episodes of Maou ? I want to use them now :roflmao :innocent

Empress card anyone haha :laugh

:laugh
and what if you get the truth card :sdevil XDDDDD

ok I don't even know if that card exists


but gosh, they are slow with that PV ! they showed previews but it's not coming out!

hmm I'm not sure if a truth tarot card does exist , closest it will be the judgement card that was featured in the 1st Maou episode

Kaori & I kinda have a gut feeling that truth might be released tomorrow , er the full PV I mean since the reissue of the One Love single will be out tomorrow + the guys will be on Utaban too so maybe ?

I just wish JE will be much more efficient in releasing PVs like avex . I'm always annoyed whenever something like this were to happen

i don't want them performing truth tomorrow because then the dance moves from the PV will be spoiled! like HSJ's "your seed" PV. the MS live came out before the video even did, lol.

my friend in Tokyo said she saw the Kaze no Mukou e PV today (i dunno if she meant the actually PV or a preview >.<)

so we'll have it on youtube soon
preview or PV we'll at least see something....(¬_¬)

that's funny, since i don't see any airdates at all, lol. but i wouldn't be surprised if that came before the truth PV. save the best for last. :yes

update alert !

I downloaded the scans earlier on , erm not to put a dampen on things but I don't really like the new batch of pics :no

it's very erm flowery & they looked really unusually pissed in there except for Aiba & Sakurai

^ thanks, Karen!!! ^^
these pics are kinda boring... what is Nino doing?? lol but MatsuJun looks GOOD lol

omigosh!!! after watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhxNs2AShT0
I REALLY want to see the Kaze no Mukou e PV!!!! >.< I think this is one of the most original coolest fun Arashi song ever! ^^

MatsuJun - eh Raye are you sure ? I don't like that pic of him :(

I seen better pics of him anytime of the day :laugh & I don't mind some of the pics that he did when he was in Domoyouji mode

anyway ...

http://sober-me.livejournal.com/ brought up something interesting with regards to the truth & Kaze no Mukou e PVs in that she has a bit of Backstreet Boys deja vu feeling when she saw the previews for both .

You'll be the judge on things :

truth compared with Everybody :

http://images.weirdworld.multiply.co...DyyAfIQ&nmid=0

http://images.weirdworld.multiply.co...2BKbPRg&nmid=0

I think it's the background that's talking

Kaze no Mukou e compared with Get Down :

http://images.weirdworld.multiply.co...86a%2BQ&nmid=0

http://images.weirdworld.multiply.co...BzOHuHg&nmid=0

erm I can't see anything simliar with Kaze no Mokou e & Get Down though

^ they r both on big bright circles *shrugs* lol

i saw that on LJ, haha. i'm biased, of course, so arashi's PVs look better. :P

(i admit to being a BSB fangirl when i was YOUNG, though. now..not at all :laugh)

:laugh

I was into BSB too when I was in Pri school so you're not the only 1 , Lisa :laugh

quite something for fangirls to be able to sport any simliarites among other things

nooo don't compare them to BSB :weep XD

Arashi is so much bettar :D
XD
we were all after them in elemantary school XD and personally I think thank god it changed


I want those freakin' PV :grumpy

i'm so excited for the utaban live tomorrow! what do you think they'll sing? truth or kaze no mukou e?

I don't know what they might be performing later on tonight at Utaban (since it's already Thurs morning here)

if possible both :laugh

I thought I will have a hard time to sleep yesterday after I watched Maou but surprisingly nothing happened .

I appericate the Eng lyrics of truth now after I watched it .

"One trembling shaking light
Disappears without healing the pain
I take your life forever
You take my life forever
One sweeping falling tear
Disappears without its emotions reaching the other
I take your life forever
You take my life
Can't stop
The trace of fallen tears
Concealed within time , the colour of almost fallen tears
Love is surely like the falling rain
Can't go back
The trace of fallen tears
Memories return , the colour of almost fallen tears
Everything that was taken by this world
Sorrow
No matter what kind of ending is shown
The heart reminds wrapped in mystery
Like the darkness that is
The truth closing in
No matter what kind of world is shown
I can't see tomorrow
Just like the lilly , oblivious of impurity
My wishes are clear"

I wonder what antics this time round the SMAP leader will come up with since the last apperance that the guys were on the show , Ohno clashed with the SMAP leader ... again

:roflmao

the last Utaban episode I watched when the guys appeared in , it's hilarious

hopefully somemore good antics will surface later on tonight

^ yes! Nakai and Ohno HAVE TO FIGHT!!! ^^ Nakai will probably say something like "Do you think you're better than me now since you have the lead role in a drama?!?!?"
and then Ohno will say a silly lil remark to make him snap! lol

Okay I just listened to Dream"A"Live and I have to say this...Arashi is amazing!

:roflmao

do they always do that on purpose or what ?

because the last Utaban appearance that they were on , I sometimes couldn't tell if Nakai & Ohno's fighting was serious or not

YAY , Kaori will be very happy to hear that :D

Seriously , try their other albums aside from DAL like Time , ARASHIC

I'm going to try out ARASHIC next!

YAY :D

I love ARASHIC alongside with Time . If Time's not in the pic , I will consider ARASHIC to be my fave ARASHI album .

It helps that Kitto Daijoubu & the best MatsuJun solo song of sorts (I Want Somebody) is found on the album too

^ yay!!! glad u like DAL!! ^^ Time is really good! and so is ARASHIC and ok all their stuff is good lol

Karen, they do fight on purpose! thatz why everytime Nakai sees Taka-san whispering something to Ohno, he addresses Ohno cuz he knows Ohno is gonna say something rude to start the fight lol

1st paragraph - haha :laugh

aside from some of the older singles & their 1st 3 albums & 2 best albums , I listened to the rest of ARASHI's discography & yes their stuff's good

2nd paragraph - oh no wonder Taka was doing that to Ohno in the last Utaban episode

I don't watch it often that's why I was wondering why always Nakai & Ohno fight for the fun of it :laugh

I hope that Arashi will perform Kaze no Mukou e on Utaban! Do you think that the PV for Kaze no Mukou e will be released on 8th cause of the Olympics?

^ Kaze no Mukou e PV - umm .. maybe since Kaze no Mukou e's used as the NTV Beijing Olympics theme song .

I'm not sure really , I just hope either one will be released soon . If they're released together at the same time , even better !

poster that's found inside the latest/Sept issue of Wink Up -> http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...g?t=1218084121

somehow I actually like the poster more than the mag scans :laugh & YAY MatsuJun doesn't look as gloomy as dry sour plum :p

i...don't like "Kaze no Mukou e", to be honest. but i haven't heard the full song, so there's still time to get used to it. the PV looks cute from the preview though. :)

BSB is awesome. still love 'em. :lmfao
but LOL @ the comparisons.

I don't know where the comparisons between BSB & ARASHI came about , don't look at me :innocent

One Love went up to no.2 today :D sweet !

Hopefully the Utaban episode will be uploaded & hopefully subbed real soon , I want to see what crazy antics Nakai will come up next to piss Ohno off :dead2

Utaban was HILARIOUS and lots of fun!! I was laughing the whole time everybody fought! And wow, the boys did well on the nagashi-somen quiz!!
What surprised me the most is that they performed truth!!! And it was an awesome performance, WOW!! Aiba-chan's hair was niiiiiiice!!

omg YAY they did truth , I hope a subbed episode of this will be out soon :(

& of course I hope Aiba didn't do that earlier on :

The Utaban performance of truth was sweet , thanks Lisa !

& oh there's no such thing as 25:00 :laugh , I think you mean 1am ?

that's what the site listed, so i dunno, lol.

Yay! Like finally!!!

waaaaaaaaaaaa ON AIR today..
yaiiy.. thank you thank you..
the time for downloading..

OMFG KAZE NO MUKOU E!

風の向こうへ
MEGA HITS
2008/08/09 16:00～17:30

YAY! BEST WEEK EVER!!

^ :thud :thud

wow double celebration for me cos this Sat's S'pore's 43rd birthday too :roflmao

for once I'm surprised it's not gonna be aired tomorrow since the Beijing Olympics will kick off tomorrow night at 8pm

you sure do always bring the goods Lisa :laugh

This is super exciting!!!!!! Both are gonna be out ~~~

There is such a thing as 25:00. In Japan. And yes, it means 1:00.

Yay, for the PVs~. ^^

YES YES I know , I can't wait to see them both now especially truth

ah ok thanks for the memo

let's party people :banana1 :banana2

Watched the performance. Love how Aiba's the only one in red trousers. xD

yea, he looked SO good in his whole outfit. espcially his hair...:luv2

Aiba looked tense in the performance :laugh (usually I see him being all goofy & Aibaka much) & it's a bit weird for him to be the only 1 wearing red pants

MatsuJun - :love :love :love

looks like he cut his hair which's great cos the HYD curls looked tired on him & the scarf he wore was wow , made him even more hotter than usual :D

& of course Sakurai & the rest looked good too

heck everyone all looked hot together during the truth performance :yes

Watched the performance on Utaban already~! Nino looks so cool, and of course all the others too. Love their dance as well..

they looked so emo though, haha. i can understand since it's for maou and all. no one's ever happy in the drama, lol. well, maybe shiori, a bit. but i just want her to get away from naruse, haha.

:roflmao

well you can't expect the guys to be hyper happy like when they performed truth . That will be really freaky & wrong on all levels .

it's like if they were to perform Kaze no Mukou e with them being all sulky & pouty like

I hope the 5th episode of Maou will be fitted with Eng subs soon

there's already softsubs here...

http://akusub.blogspot.com/

anyway, how much time is left for truth to air?

since Japan's ahead of S'pore by an hour , I say right now in 23 mins's time !

& oh what's the difference between soft & hardsubs ?

soft subs are when you download the actual subtitle file, and then you download parts of the drama and join them with HJSplit. hardsubs are all in one file already. so you don't need to join anything, just download the episode and the subs are right there.

anywaaaay, i can't wait for the PV. too bad we already saw part of the dance routine, but oh well.

oh thanks for that so I take it that softsubs are just as good as hardsubs files or hardsub's still better ?

I can't find the link for the softsub of the 5th Maou episode though :dead2 , am I missing something ?

truth PV - oh well but at least we have seen a bit of what to expect when the PV rolls out in 18 mins's time in Japan

I think when I logged onto AHS on Fri morning the PV will be up on here already lol

hardsubs are better quality, i guess, but softsubs are good for me, anyway. the subs are in the blog entries from the link that i gave you.

to get back to arashi....what should i talk about? :P

EDIT: kaori! i think they get uploaded probbably a half an hour or an hour on JPS. it shouldn't take too long, i hope. i'll be checking so i'll keep this up to date, lol.

Yeah, Kaori! PV's gonna be out soon, we're all so excited over it!
And Aiba's sporting a larger perm, it looks better than the previous one!

softsubs - so I have to download the HJ spilt files & the sub titles are in a separate component which's in .ass format ?

cos all this while I have been downloading hardsubs so real sorry to bother you on this -_-

ARASHI - erm let's talk about the getups that the guys sported in the truth performance :laugh

I was surprised when Aiba was so tensed up & in permed hair , that was a shock for me cos I was so used to seeing him being all goofy & ditzy like

& yes yes Lisa , please upload the truth PV when you get hold of it on JPS :D That's something for me to look forward to the 1st thing I get up tomorrow :roflmao

& wow looks like the weekend's going to be great one considering that I have fallen sick this morning :(

seriously, aiba looks soo good with a perm. dare i say better than jun's perm? :innocent

EDIT: yea karen, DL the files, then the .ass file. :yes to be on topic, PM me if you need anymore help.

:roflmao

well perm hair wise , at least I still can tolerate MatsuJun in it in the 1st HYD but subsequently :dead2

& ooh ok , got the memo now thanks :grouphug

wow that link of Aiba ... he looked good

I never seen Nino in blonde hair though , you got any pics of him in it ?

& eeee MatsuJun in hair extensions = :dead2

on 2nd thoughts , maybe the perm isn't so bad on him after all heh

EDIT --

OK it's officially 12.01am in Japan now aka Fri so that means the truth PV will be broadcast somewhere between now - 1am in Japan

Yeah, agreed, that's a really good picture of Aiba-chan.

I thought that Nino in blonde looked good too. And in some magazine shots with his hair permed and long, he looked pretty hot as well. I promise I'm not being biased or anything! =D

wallpapers galore -> http://snoew.livejournal.com/47827.html

Ohno's one's random LOL

the One Love wallpaper's so simple & nice

gahh, where is the PV! it already aired like an hour ago. :weep

OMFG TRUTH IS OUT!

http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_be...tails&id=47471

will upload directly after i'm finished, which will be really soon!

i just finished watching! i wish the video had more than just dancing and headshots (and the lily appearing, lol. you'll know why if you watched maou :P) but i just looove their outfits, looks, and it was pretty cool overall. i honestly thought there'd be more to it, but it's okay. i still loved it! :yes

now i'm currently uploading with megaupload. hope it's okay for everyone? :)

..oh yea, i just LOVED the ending shot of ohno, though. such a good ending, haha.

EDIT: comment if you download the PV!
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78118

lol jun's little stunts were fierce. and i love aiba's sad face. hot. :luv2

i agree, there wasn't much sho, but still, he was hot too. :luv2

ahh, what am i saying. they ALL were just hottt. :dead2

but i really wish the PV had some kind of storyline, too. like, maou is an "energetic" drama. you know, with toma's running and all, haha. so i pictured something fast paced, dramatic, and different. but i'm still happy with what we got. arashi's PVs are never really that big, anyway. so it fits.

I like the PV. Though I agree that it could have had more to it. It should have been really dark and symbolic. =3

They all look good - especially Aiba. <3 And I like all their clothes (more or less).

what it's OUT?
omg :weep and I CAN'T WATCH IT :scry
'cause I'm not home tonight ! no no no no no that's just too unfair


when I come back I'll download it thanks you so much lisa!
hazu ~ you too you are a fan of Sho :D

i liked the PV, but i do wish they did something other than looking hot and dancing too. :P and the Ohno scene with the lily was really cool. i liked how they added that detail from "Maou" in there. :)

overall, not so bad. it just felt like something i watched before. it had the same lighting atmosphere like the PVs for "Seishun Amigo", "Taiyou no Namida", or "Hey! Say!" even.

Awesome PV!! Like you Hazuki, I didn't like the dancing in the preview (didn't feel it fit the PV) but after seeing the whole thing, I think it looks good!! Ah, I love the violins!! And the lily!! And Riida is just soooooo kakko ii!! And I had only eyes for Sho and Aiba-kun, LOL!! I'm so glad I got all versions of the single!!

downloading the PV from another source now , I can't wait to see it :D

& just for Minna

truth in ipod/mp4 format - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PW97WHZS

if you want it to be reuploaded via MF , let me know :D

@ Kaori - thanks for the HQ link/s for Utaban . Hopefully someone will get it subbed soon , Nakai taken down by a watermelon -> :roflmao

EDIT - ok I saw it already with my younger sister , we love it <3

I like that the lily flower made an apperance or 2 in the PV . If you watched Maou , you definitely know why it's there

Thanks for uploading the truth PV... OMG... it's really nice... when i saw the preview i really loved the concept of it... Great to see Ohno having more screentime.. outfits were hot! ARASHI should do more serious songs... lolz..

gimme tissues :weep

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4J6ZCok8ls

jun :love

hazu ~ :hi5 Sho is my fav too!

karen ~ OMG THE PV FOR IPOD!!!! :shughug!!!!! thanks !!!

omg :weep seconding for the tissues
but it looks so awesome ! I just can,t wait to see

:laugh
I know I'll cry too. I cry for nothing during dramas, movies, tv shows...(^^'')


omg I'm watching Truth PV right now and it's...
AMAZING :luv2

at least for once , Ohno gets the spotlight on his own cos frankly he has been kinda overshadowed by the rest in recent times especially by MatsuJun

it's nice that he finally gets his own spotlight

i thought aiba got a decent amount of on screenage too, lol. so it's not only ohno. :P i never thought of auba as "hot", but damn, he is in truth. :luv2

yeah Aiba got quite a lot of screentime in the truth PV , I have to agree but at least for once , the guys came up with a serious/emo-ish PV , it's about due time

cos they have been putting out poppy upbeat no.s almost all this while so it's a breath of fresh air I say

now's to wait for Kaze no Mukou e to be out :D

I agree whole-heartedly! exactly what I was thinking!

Aiba looks SO GOOD in the PV but I didn't really like him being front and center in dance formations cuz Aiba has a certain style of dancing and it just doesn't fit the dark emo mood of the PV...

but still... from the first time I heard "truth", I was expecting alot more of the PV... also i hated the camera angles on the utaban performance. I can't see my boys' faces!!!! >.< *hits camera-san*

and I did like that Ohno was in the spotlight ^^ i know he's said before that he thinks he doesn't look cool like the other members >.<

I think he's being too modest , he's cool in his own right :)

guess it depends on his definition of cool

Ok I know I shouldn't make any comparison of sorts but my younger sister & I felt the truth PV's concept is a mixture of NEWS's Taiyou no Namida (because of the setting) & YUI's LOVE & TRUTH (because of the orchestra backing)
