Hi ARASHI !

They are one of Johnny & Associates's most successful groups !
They debuted aboard a cruise ship in Hawaii in 1999 !
They are the most popular Johnny's group outside of Japan !
They are 1 of the most talented TV personalities, actors and musicians in Johnny & Associates !
♥




Group Members

http://i47.tinypic.com/106aw03.jpg
大野智 | Ohno Satoshi

♥ Ohno became the group's leader because of a Rock-Paper-Scissors game he did with Sakurai! He didn't even want to be the leader!
♥ A mama's boy! He says his mom still buys his clothes & that goes for his shoes too o_O!
♥ Known for his amazing artistic ability & he really LOVES fishing!
♥ Never fails to engage in neverending otherwise dead panned mannered verbal & physical fights against SMAP's leader Nakai Masahiro whenever the guys appear on the comedy show Utaban in which Nakai's the host alongside with comedian Ishibashi Takaaki
♥ Possibly the most quietest member in the group but if you give him a chance to talk , he will bound to say something amusing/funny to make everyone laugh in any good way possible

http://i46.tinypic.com/2ib1fm8.jpg
松本潤 | Matsumoto Jun , also known as MatsuJun :heart

♥ Jun is an elite in Johnny's - meaning that he is one of the only 3 men in Johnny & Associates who didn't have to audition as the boss himself Johnny-san called him personally on his handphone to join the company!
♥ Unofficially in a way or 2 loyal fans of him coined the term "Jun-bait" no thanks to his good looks and acting roles!
♥ Although the youngest, he's the most serious about ARASHI's work!
♥ Became the 1st male artist to pose on the cover of the now defunt (in Japan only) Marie Claire magazine which took place 3 years ago in June (pun intended)
♥ In AHS , MatsuJun belongs to Beauty4123 / Lisa while Karen used to be his ex xD

http://i49.tinypic.com/118lxcw.jpg
二宮和也 | Ninomiya Kazunari , also known as Nino

♥ Nino is the husband of Karen's french friend Nat xD :laugh
♥ Has made his Hollywood debut in Clint Eastwoods Letters from Iwo Jima!
♥ Loves to play jokes and pranks on other members!
♥ A self proclaimed Otaku!
♥ Together with Ohno , both of them form a duo called OhMiya which displayed a lot of *ahem* fanservice moments to the delight of fans!

http://i49.tinypic.com/21mxisi.jpg
櫻井翔 | Sakurai Sho

♥ Sho may seem to be the most manly in the group - but he's the biggest scaredy cat & he surprisingly screamed a lot more lesser than Aiba LOL LOL LOL during a special broadcast of Himitsu no Arashi-chan where they had to go in to investigate an inn that was 'haunted' ! & Sakurai can run REALLY fast . Faster than Aiba anytime of the day LOL
♥ Inspired many of his kouhai to attend college after getting into Keio University & in the process , graduated with a degree which he majored in Economics!
♥ Also hosts the popular news show NEWS ZERO!
♥ The designated rapper of the group who writes his own rap lyrics , this's also known as "Sakurap" . Because of him , this inspired his Junior , KAT-TUN's Tanaka Koki to do so too :heart
♥ He's known as the brother in law of KarenPang! (LOL LOL LOL 8D :laugh)

http://i46.tinypic.com/2ujmaec.jpg
相葉雅紀 | Aiba Masaki

♥ Aiba loves animals (even though he's scared of birds & kangaroos :O) which lead him to work on Tensai! Shimura Dobutsuen where he often gets to work (hilariously) with wild animals!
♥ Joined Johnny & Associates only to meet his idol V6's Miyake Ken and play basketball with SMAP!
♥ Loves speaking English - even though he's not too great at it!
♥ In the same wavelength (brain wise & then some) as BREAKERZ's frontman DAIGO :laugh
♥ Loves experimenting in lots of weird ways/manners you can imagine/think of in the band's variety shows ! So much so that he even has his own corner called Ai-land (short form for Aiba-land) in Arashi no Shukudai-kun!

:roflmao

LET THE DISCUSSION BEGIN! :cool

to start off this thread, ohno will have a new drama on NTV, starting in April (on saturdays @ 9PM), titled "Kaibutsu Tarou". videos of news coverage and other info can be found here:

http://matsubunny.livejournal.com/21928.html

LOL I WAS WAITING FOR THE NEW THREAD...so i can talk about Ohno's new drama. :P if pulled-off correctly, i think it could be really funny. LOL. but yeah, i was hoping for a more serious drama a la "Maou". but we'll see! :)

wow, nice to see my old thread layout still in good use, lol.

Arashi members always do good dramas!
I can't wait to watch the episodes of The Quiz show, Smile and My Girl which I missed out in Japan
I only watched part of an episode of uta no onisan in Japan, but it seemed pretty good.
Ohno is good in this type of role too I think!

^SMILE will make you cry...
A LOT!!!!

Yay for the new thread!!
I'm really hoping that Troublemakers' PV will have dancing in it... but it doesn't really seem like the right type of song :(

what? troublemaker is so upbeat! (at least to me) especially the chorus. i'll definately be surprised if we got no dancing. you can't just stand and sing in such a fast song :P

and yes, SMILE will make you cry. i cried so much that i can't even explain it, lol. it's still not my favorite jun drama, though. but it's so sad. i only hope for jun to get a summer drama next..:weep

Here we go again...

lol I'm glad that I'm not chained up / bounded by making anymore Johnny's threads now

anyway ...

I still DO NOT like Troublemaker . I was listening to Everything & My Girl (I can pardon that because of the My Girl drama that I watched which I enjoyed) & Troublemaker & all 3 sounded the same to me

it's a major snoozefest & this might be the 1st single of the guys that I will probably not enjoy (having a dislike towards pop now ;p)

Yurase , Iwa mo should have been the A-side instead of the B-side . I just hope the other B-side Mou Ippo will be the saving grace for the single

if not man ...

What's so troubling with Troublemaker? First JAL, then Toyota and Koito industries on seating, now Arashi on Japanese pop music? How could this be wrong?

I listened to "Troublemaker" and I don't like it either. But eh you never know I didn't like "Everything" but then I loved it. "Yurase, Ima wo" is so much better and it did deserve to be an A-side.

Either way I'm sure the single will be enjoyable and I can't wait to see the covers.

i wouldn't...really compare Arashi to Toyota. i mean, at least Arashi can't potentially kill you. unless you are in a Toyota w/ an Arashi member driving it! :laugh

Troublemaker's OK for me. but then again, everything lately from Arashi has been OK for me lately. NEED MOAR BELIEVE/TRUTH, THX.

LOL at the comparisons between Troublemaker & Toyota = no link between both issues

when I saw the word Troublemaker , I was assuming it's going to be something dark like truth but a pop song ? wtf

like what I said before , I have been having an unusual hate case towards pop recently (my rock side has returned back recently :innocent) & I have been listening to their older hip hop/rock stuff a lot more than ever before , way before they sell out to the masses

I can't even remember the last time when I listened to the music failure that's of Dream"A"live & now I gladly pick something like Time & ARASHIC to listen to .

if their new album or single is going to sound like another Everything , My Girl , Troublemaker , I will tear my hair out

hahahahaaaaaaaa!:D

Thanks for the new thread, Beauty!

wow...look what popped up on today's chart:

:cool

Oh wow, nice to see it still selling!!
And what is with this and Toyota lol, I don't understand.

lol yeah I find it ridiculous to compare ARASHI against Toyota

then again I wasn't the one that started the comparison

I could/wanted to say something even worst than this but I'm not going to

But I don't get the reference. Help me out here.

best to just...ignore it, LOL. i also have no idea what a car company has to do with...arashi. :shrug

BUT ANYWAY. when are those covers coming out?! :grumpy

you should ask Bigtop about this , Mishelle

he's the one that brought out Toyota & JAL into the pic & that's so out of the blue too

I got the reference. Or at least I think I do.

Well the covers for H!S!J's single came out this week and it'll be released in two weeks and the same was for KAT-TUN so I'm guessing next week.
