they'll perform movin' on, yurase ima wo, troublemaker, summer splash!, gift, and monster! i can't wait to watch!

Replacing Yurase ima wo & Troublemaker with other songs from Boku no Miteiru Fukei like kagero , Mada Ue wo would have been better

they should perform To be free instead as well ;__;

anyway no matter , I always like SCP's setting so this should be fun

[Beauty4123]

seriously, i know!! mada ue wo totally should have replaced yurase ima wo, at least. i don't mind gift being on there, haha. but mada ue wo! will that song EVER be performed?

okay, rant over. but seriously, i really hope arashi will perform that song on their tour soon! it's just too epic.

[KarenPang]

;__;

I'm sure they performed Mada Ue wo during their current ongoing tour but yeah it's not fair the song's like never ever going to get a live performance sheesh ~_~

It's Eirynne's fave & it's also 1 of my fave tracks in the album too

Sakurai's English was quite flawless I have to say

it's quite something he has been a fan of Cameron for close to 10 years :O

imagine just how starstuck he probably was when he finally get to meet her face to face

[Beauty4123]

sho was like...stunned throughout the whole video, LOL. him being a fan of hers for 10 years must be the reason why he was like that! i loved his english too! he should keep using it.

whenever these foreign celebs come to see arashi, it's always so much fun! their hilarious jun looked quite gorgeous, too!

Ohoku movie might be released in Asia and North America


Kazunari Ninomiya’s (27) movie “大奥 (Ohoku)” has been seen by more than a million people in Japan to date and has been getting numerous overseas offers, it was revealed at an event in Tokyo yesterday, reports CinemaCafe.net.

The film’s director Fumiki Kaneko and Ninomiya appeared at the event to thank their fans for the movie’s success to date.

Since its release on October 1, more than 1.1 million have seen the movie, taking in 13 billion yen at the box office so far.

“The real test is from now. I really want to thank the huge number of people who have said that they loved the movie,” Ninomiya said.

It has been reported the movie has already had several screening offers from companies in Taiwan and across Asia. The movie has also had positive reviews in North America, which could lead to a western release.

“I think some parts of the movie show cultural things that only a Japanese person would be able to understand, but perhaps the role reversal between men and women would help get the idea across,” Kaneko said.

When asked whether there were any plans for a sequel, the director’s response was careful, but optimistic.

“I don’t have any concrete plans yet, but having seen how much people have enjoyed it so far, it gives me the motivation to want to make something they’ll enjoy even more. But making it would mean I’d have to create something above what it is now so this isn’t a question I can answer very easily,” he said.

Finally, Mr Kaneko talked about how he felt working with period film first-timer Ninomiya.

“I’ve already praised him enough, but he is just a genius. To a national treasure extent,” he said.

frankly I will be surprised if Ohoku will be shown in Singapore's cinemas because of the content of the movie

if so , it will be given a straight R21 rating

[Mami-chan]

Why not Europe????? T__T
I hope at least it will be broadcasted at Udine Asian movie festival here in Italy. My friend said they also broadcasted Yattaman last year ^^ and Jin's movie too ^^

But I wanted it on teathers!! T_T

[KarenPang]

probably cos of the movie plot which centres on Ohoku which explained why it's not going to be shown in Europe ?

I don't know but I know what the movie's all about & initally I was o_o that Nino's role is quite :O

GANTZ will open in Singapore's cinemas next year on April 14th D:

Fan Club Trouble


Japan boy band Arashi is storming the archipelago this fall and winter with a series of stadium concerts guaranteed to sell out, but some fans are expressing anger at the way the tickets are being distributed.

Members of Arashi’s official fan club have first dibs on the tickets, which isn’t unusual for an act managed by Johnny’s Jimusho, the agency with a virtual lock on Japanese boy bands. It also isn’t unusual for fan club members to submit applications for tickets that will then be selected by lot.

The main complaint is that Arashi fan club members must pay in advance for the ticket when they submit their applications, according to an article in a leading woman’s magazine. Those members who do not receive tickets will get their money back, they’ve been told, but are not informed as to whether they can receive tickets until several months after the applications are sent in.

Some 850,000 seats are expected to be available for all the concerts. With more than 700,000 Arashi fan club members as of last spring, there probably won’t be many tickets left for non-members.

But while members get a 500-yen ($6) discount on a ticket, they also have to pay a 4,000-yen ($48) annual membership fee. Consequently, when the concerts were announced last summer, many people rushed to join the fan club just for a better chance of getting tickets.

According to the Japanese media, Johnny’s Jimusho makes about 2.4 billion yen ($29 million) per year on Arashi fan club membership fees.
