It’s been reported that Kiefer Sutherland (who’s well-known as ‘Jack Bauer’ from the hit TV series, “24“), will be making an appearance on Arashi’s variety show “Arashi ni Shiyagare” for December 11th.

He’s set to participate in the “Michi tono Sougu Shiyagare” corner, in which one of the Arashi members meets a mysterious guest, and learns a special skill from them. This time, Aiba Masaki was selected to meet the unknown guest, and had to undergo a hilarious ’special training’ by carrying the Hollywood star on his back.

^ definately gonna catch that episode!! :D i'm so happy arashi is getting foreign guests! it's good publicity, lol.

^ me too! hopefully we'll have more and more foreign guests! I would LOVE to see actors like Robert Pattinson on Arashi's shows! hilarity insues! lol

according to yamakaze067's daily updates on LJ, the Scene tour 10-11 will be released on DVD on january 26th! now that date is jam packed with releases, lol! :P

why's everyone I know/listen to are releasing stuff on Jan 26th 2011 ? :O

funny though , ARASHI 10-11 TOUR　“Scene”～君と僕の見ている風景～ wouldn't end until Jan 16th but there's always a possibility that they recorded the footages on 1 of the earlier tour dates

& the link is up to preorder ARASHI 10-11 TOUR "Scene" ~Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fukei~ on CDJapan :O

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=JABA-5080

*Since this product is very limited, only one copy may be purchased by a customer. Live DVD release from Arashi featuring footage of their live performance "ARASHI 10-11TOUR "Scene" - Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fukei -" at Kokuritsu Kasumigaoka Kyogijo on September 3, 2010. They sung songs from their ninth original album "Boku no Miteiru Fukei," their solo songs, and more for over 40 songs.



woah again ? D:

I guess CDJapan's worried if fangirls crash their website server again LOL

LOL! :laugh websites need to be prepared when an arashi item is up for order!!

i hope someone uploads the tour on youtube again. i REALLY need to see sho's solo in HQ! :luv2

LOL yes the last time CDJapan opened preorders for their stuff , their server crashed big time X_X

That's why they did things differently for Hatenai Sora but for a DVD , shouldn't be that bad because it's not limited in this sense

except maybe for the 1st press part as they can move very fast , just like for To be free's case :O

You RARELY see Arashi's pictures online - this one (on the NHK Kouhaku website, as they will represent the white team) is UNCLASSIFIED:
(when I saw this first, I was quite shocked/surprised :thud)

this year onwards , Johnny began to relax some of their rules/regulations in websites uploading pics of Johnny's so :O

anyway I'm sure stuff like royalty/license fees & all those mumbo jumbo stuff have been taken into consideration too

ARASHI to release their live tour DVD “ARASHI 10-11 TOUR ‘Scene’”

Get ready to wipe out those credit cards for pre-orders, everyone.

Arashi has announced that they will be releasing a DVD of their live tour on January 26th 2011! Temporarily titled as “ARASHI 10-11 TOUR “Scene” ~Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fukei~ 【stadium】“, the DVD footage will revolve around the live held at the National Olympic Stadium from September 3rd.

This release will consist of 2 DVDs with over 40 songs – naturally the majority of the songs will come from their latest album, “Boku no Miteiru Fukei“, but there are also solo songs from the members as well. Fans will be dazzled by the gorgeous stage effects which utilized sound, light, water, fire, and wind. Of course, the members’ MC moments will be included too!

The limited edition for the DVD will come out as a special package containing an original live photobook, 44 pages long.

lol I let those fangirls preorder the DVD while I sit back & wait for the Taiwan press to be out 16 days later after Japan's release :innocent

Sweet can't wait to watch!!
Too bad I'm too poor to order it.
Why couldn't they have a first press booklet for 5x10 tour ;___;

Is there any specific information why they began to relax some of their rules/regulations?

it's ok Caroline , there's Taiwan press to the rescue xD & you can be assured that avex Taiwan will leave that 1st press bonus aspect of the DVD intact since my copy of Boku no Miteiru Fukei which I ordered from 5music , it's 1st press & inclusive of shipping , I only paid a mere S$20+ for it :thud

so you don't have to fret about that since concert DVDs are expensive & somemore Japan press always kills X_X

I don't know , maybe they don't want to be seen as being too rigid in this sense ?

after all , I find it stupid you can't let websites other than yours to show the pics of singles/albums/concert DVDs , of the artistes that you manage

like what logic does this get from ?

my friend watched Himitsu last night & she said it was epic again & it's a must watch if you're an Ohno fan , LOL xD

I saw all the tweets she made about it too but all I can say's that the DAME ARASHI corner will be back next week :innocent

Perfume & Ninomiya Kazunari to appear on “Tunnels no Minasan no Okage deshita”

http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/6...menino600x.jpg

Variety show “Tunnels no Minasan no Okage deshita” will be hit with a double dose of ultra A-list guests, as it’s been announced that Perfume and Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari will make their appearance for the December 16th episode.

They’ll appear on the corner, “Kitana-Umai Mise -KITANATAURANT- 2010“, which aims to introduce restaurants with run-down appearances, but amazingly delicious food.

Both Perfume and Ninomiya will introduce some menu items they personally recommend; it’s not yet clear if they will appear together or separately.

Oh I heard of the comedians Tunnels before & yeah they're supposedly really funny

this's going to be fun xD

Yamada You smells the Arashi members on “Himitsu no Arashi-chan”

Yamada You made an appearance on the “VIP ROOM” corner of ”Himitsu no Arashi-chan“, broadcasted on December 9th. While on the show, she confessed that she had a “scent fetish”, and that she loves guys who smell like baby’s milk.

Naturally, this encouraged others to goad You into smelling the Arashi members to see if they matched up to her preferences. You was blindfolded, and the results…?

Entry No.1: Ninomiya Kazunari – “He smells good, kinda citrus-y.”
Entry No.2: Matsumoto Jun – “He smells like my old house I used to live in.”
Entry No.3: Aiba Masaki – “It’s wardrobe…he smells like a wardrobe…in a bad way.”
Entry No.4: Sakurai Sho – “India ink!”
Entry No.5: Ohno Satoshi – “He is pretty close to the smell of baby’s milk.” *smells his forehead* “ Ah! no good!”

You ended up choosing Entry No.5 (Ohno Datoshi) as the one with her most favorite scent, and her least favorite was Entry No.4 (Sakurai Sho).
