[ARASHI] Get Lost in the Spiral - 26th thread of Arashi.

[Beauty4123]

the more issues of jun in an.an the better, right? i just can't get enough of him, lol.

good to see the jun bait (somewhat) coming back to you, though, karen!

anyway, i'll edit my thoughts on the performance later!

edit: that was such a nice performance! is it just me or did i hear them sing live? lol. i thought they sounded live in some parts. but anyway, they looked so great! jun and sho, especially, haha. but i love that they sang the full song this time

[ll moments ll]

impressive sales. looks like 400k isn't too far from reach.

i saw some pics or caps from MatsuJun's new drama. him & Takeuchi Yuko make a good couple. they have some chemistry already!

[Beauty4123]

i think it's easy for jun to have chemistry with any of his female lead actresses, lol. i think he has the most chemistry with inoue mao, though. but i loved him with aragaki yui too! anyone who works with him is lucky, anyway

i'm really wondering what Love Rainbow will sound like. since there's already an insert song that's on the slow side (i can't really call YUI's please stay with me a ballad ) then this theme song can't be a ballad, right? it'd make sense if it was upbeat. that's what i'm hoping at least july 19th can't come soon enough, lol.

anyway, this post was really an excuse to post this picture of jun, haha. couldn't resist...

Spoiler:

it comes from this magazine called Fine Boys, and the photoshoot is awesome

well he's the 1st person in Johnny's to do that infamous an.an spread right ? 8D

subsequent an.an shots he did were great & somewhat PG rated LOL LOL

I'm surprised they did the full song . The other peeps who were on the show , they only did partially so goody good for a change

well my younger sister said that she has a feeling Love Rainbow might be a ballad

it's her intuition that's talking

ok I think I'm already awake now even though I woke up really early today lmao 8D

Sakurai in the latest Pino CM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euXw4...layer_embedded

I saw it being sold here at my end in supermarkets but it's SO expensive for a box of ice cream 'nuggets'

probably around the same price or so if you were to buy Magnum Gold

[Beauty4123]

jun really was the first person in JE to have a photoshoot like that?! really? not yamapi? that i did not know, lol. but i do know of his past photoshoots with the magazine

[KarenPang]

xD xD xD

*ponders* no I think MatsuJun was the 1st if not 1 of the 1st few Johnny's to do that for an.an

he did it I remembered 3 years ago in line for promo for the 2nd season of Hana Yori Dango (ah memories X_X) where Yamapi did it a year later also Takuya Kimura in 2008 too

last year it was Akanishi & then this year it was Ikuta Toma *___*

[Beauty4123]

don't forget sho! that "naked" photoshoot of his was for an.an, right?

[KarenPang]

LOL I forgot about brother in law in there #failmode

my younger sister doesn't like it because she said he looked really uncomfortable/un-natural

Sakurai's not like MatsuJun where I think he's not very himself/comfortable in doing something like that

it take guts to do a photoshoot on this calibre too x)

[KarenPang]

ok totally random MUSIC STATION poll which got me ??? on every single level

artist that falls over with slight sunlight

http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/music/m-contents/vote/

Nino's #3 in there

I don't know what this poll is trying to tell people , I'm still scratching my head on this xD

[Beauty4123]

what does "falls over with sunlight" supposed to even mean? someone who's face shines like the sun or something? haha.

[KarenPang]

I don't know , that poll doesn't make any sense to me in the 1st place

then again it's not the 1st & last weird poll I have seen to begin with xD

[dreamland2.0]

Oh I LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDDD the performance ;_; it made me tear up...
that song just makes me want to weep I don't know why!!!!!!!!

[KarenPang]

- HQ MUSIC STATION performance of To be free be it raw or fitted with subs can be downloaded here

- To be free HQ shop photos (group , MatsuJun & Nino solo shots) can be downloaded here

Spoiler:

like what my younger sister will say - FIERCE !!!!!!!!

- more info on that weird MUSIC STATION poll which I posted earlier on

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102372

I still don't get it really

- To be free's 4th day sales - 32,598

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

Total sales so far - 368,061

I think it's quite possible for To be free to crack just slightly under 400K in the 1st week but we'll see x)

[Mai82Go]

Just watched Music Station. After not caring for Arashi the last few months, I have to say I'm really pleasantly surprised by To be free. Beautiful song!

And now another MatsuJun drama with Yuko Takeuchi. Johnny has good timing - my interest in Arashi is back.

[KarenPang]

my gut feeling's telling me that somewhere next week or so , the cover for Boku no Miteiru Fukei will be out & so's the tracklist & song titles too for both discs since the album will be out on 4th Aug

I don't know if the cover for 1st press & 2nd press for Boku no Miteiru Fukei will be different since it happened for LANDS's Olympos

come to think about it , will it happened for To be free since there's a 1st press for the single

then again maybe no since the cover for the 1st & 2nd presses for Aozora no Pedal are the same except for the packaging

Spoiler:

it feels great to wake up and see this face first thing in the morning... fierce indeed!

[KarenPang]

LOL I know you will feel that way , Lisa x)

just wait until you unzip the file containing those HQ shop photos scans of MatsuJun X_X X_X

@_@

[Beauty4123]

maybe it'll heal my stomach pains, LOL. i think matsujun would make great medicine

[KarenPang]

well this should keep you perked up for the day 8D

scans for the Hana Yori Dango final photobook

http://community.livejournal.com/tea...land/3022.html

aw man looking at all these scans reminded me the crazy times when the movie was opened in cinemas at my end 2 years back

I missed the sadistic Domoyoji shiku shiku ;__;

[Beauty4123]

it makes me want to watch the movie again, haha. but speaking of tsukasa, his character in his new drama is sort of similar to him, except the sadistic part (i think), lol. your not gonna watch the drama, karen, if it's up on dramacrazy?

also, i noticed that that LJ link from my post above is locked, so here are the FineBoys scans
