[Neo Daydream]

yeah, it is a really pretty set ^^

so i heard Jun is finishing filming his new movie "The Hidden Fortress"
it seems like that happened really fast
so i dunno if thatz true but... i'm excited about that movie
i can't wait til it comes out
i wish it would come to theaters in America >.<

^.^ Thanks! Keishi made it.
Yes, we have to spread the Arashi love somehow.
It seems like people here are totally bias to all JE bands. =[

Geez, how many movies is "Matsujohn" doing?

We already knew about the Best Artist though =P And I've got no clue what's the second show about and what will Arashi do in there~ it's translated as "2007 Greatest Sports in History Big Thanks Festival - Super First Class Athletes Gathering Special" or something like that

YAYA KAT-TUN DIDN'T TAKE THEIR SPOT!!! Gooo, Arashi! they were really successful this year, ne?

[Neo Daydream]

YES! *maniacal laughter*
I hope Arashi is never beat out by KAT-TUN >.<

I dunno how many projects "Matsu John" has going on right now but it seems like a lot ne?

yah I noticed that...it's sad

lol I love that commercial ^^

Thanks for the news neo ^^
I think they start filming HYD soon too...
Jun is a really busy guy :S

As much as I love Keep the Faith I'm also glad that Love so Sweet will stay at number 4

EDIT
I think we posted at the same time Neo Daydream

[Neo Daydream]

haha tis cool.
seriously, i've really tried to like KAT-TUN and I can't >.<
I like NEWS alright but i'm not super into them...
I think Arashi deserves their number 4 spot or even something higher... they've been around for so long... and they r still goin strong... becoming even more popular. that says something ^^
so i cannot wait for the new Arashi no Shukudaikun episode! ^^ i think it'll prolly b uploaded by tomorrow or the day after... I adore that show! itz ALWAYS funny lol

[ayupi]

KAT-TUN is my favorite JE group lol ^^
I like NEWS a lot...but Arashi appeals to me a lot more...for music and such.

I've been watching Shukudaikun every week now since I've been really into Arashi a lot more now then I have ever been ^^
The Christmas episode from last year (i think) was hilarious! lol Matsu looked realllly funny with that stocking thing on his head xD

[ll moments ll]

KAT-TUN ftw! for me too. but that's cuz they are my first JE group. XD but other than that, i seriously love all of them. though, SMAP, V6, NEWS (i think NEWS is getting better!) are probably more towards the bottom of the (very long) list. i love Johnny's Ent. way too much though. D:

I FREAKING LOVE THE XMAS EPISODE. i died laughing. XDD the otaku dance, OH EM GEE. too much "LOL" all around. I <3333 THE NIPPLE SHIRTS.

[qwerty]

Aiba's hilarious when he tries to speak English. It's gold.

[yatsuda]

Yay for thread #2!!
Kaorineko, I'm kaze~ at the Jpop forums!
Arashi's my first Johnny's group, and my first boy band, LOL! I do like songs from SMAP, V6 and TOKIO, though. And I *love* Ikuta Toma!! But I'm definitely NOT a fan of KAT-TUN...
Did you all see the NTV Best artist Love So Sweet performance? I LOVED it, except for Jun's solo... ouch. What the heck was up with Nino whispering in Kame's ear during the interview (KAT-TUN performed just before Arashi)?

[Neo Daydream]

^ NO! I haven't seen that performance yet! i can't find it on youtube or anything...

Arashi was my first pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~. boyband. I hate to admit I was a Hanson fangirl back in the day >.< like in 4th grade lol
but Hanson is a piece of crap compared to Arashi!

i found a clip on youtube. i think itz from the newest AnS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3BwNr4R5l0
they all try to catch toast in their mouth as it pops out of a toaster. only one does it. guess who? lol

[ayupi]

^ The performance was uploaded here awhile ago =)

Arashi was my first Japanese boyband period. And i'm so glad it was them, because I love being an Arashi fangirl. lol. The only songs I like by SMAP and V6 are "Darling" from Kimi wa Petto and "10 Dollars". I hate TOKIO though. And KAT-TUN are good. Don't be such an extreme fangirl, give them a listen. It's okay. lol. But I also don't really listen to Kanjani 8, they're okay because of Ryo and sexy Seishiro guy from YC. lol.

Me gusta esas chaquetas. Lol, i love pretending I'm Spanish. They're performing the hell out of that song, huh? -shrugs- it's still one of their best songs.

[ll moments ll]

^ D: OMGNO. TOKIO is full of win. (though, i say that about every JE unit there is, LOL.) well, i guess it's understandable since they don't follow JE norms in many ways, but NO! TOMOYA NAGASE FTW. haha. sorafune? ai no arashi? mr. traveling man? eh? eh? XD

anyways.
congrats to Arashi for maintaining their #4. & i still need to catch up with all these performances. just a couple more days until winter break and then i can watch them all!
