and thank you! it's a very cute photoshoot! although i have no idea where it came from or what it's for. i'm just lucky to have found a good shoot for once but thanks to ll moments ll, i never would have found it!
Yes, "Rainbow" kinda gave me the wrong impression too! ^.^
But that's not bad, in my opinion. Arashi has enough cutesy PVs already, so something more elegant is a nice chance!

And the pic comes from the magazine "+act mini Vol. 10 2010"! It's an AWESOME shooting. I love it very much!

SO many singles
It's good thing I have no money or well I'd have even less money if I bought them

maybe I'll get OS press later on...
Arashi is so exhausting XD (in a good way)

^ er ya , what's so surprising on it ? o_O

DAIGO appeared quite a fair bit in their variety shows in the past such as Arashi no Shukundai kun & let alone Hitmitsu no Arashi-chan

I know the reasons as to why he will be featured next Thurs but I wouldn't say why & all

if not this thread might as well be converted to a BREAKERZ one & I can go on & on & on about it LOL

When DAIGO goes karaoke-ing (haha) , he do sing ARASHI's songs . His fave's Love so sweet

he doesn't know WISH though , unfortunately or not

Because I subscribe to CDJapan's mailing list (for many artistes that I chose for CDJapan to send me updates for upcoming releases) & etc , I received this earlier on

I find it quite o_O but anyway

Hello!

I'm sending you this email because you are subscribed to Arashi New
Release Mail.

Yesterday, we sent you an email about "Dear Snow" the new single from
Arashi, and I would like to let you know how we processed the
information this time.

Normally, we would open preorders for new releases right away, as soon
as we receive details.

We would inform people about it on our website and then by New Release
Mail.

However, with the past few Arashi releases, CDJapan website always
went down temporarily, because our server was overwhelmed each time as
so many people worldwide as well as in Japan rushed over to CDJapan
and our Japanese website in order to preorder the Limited Edition.

Upgrading the server could not meaningfully improve the situation,
because it was just too overwhelming.

Most people were kind enough to understand the situation, but it was
nevertheless a very inconvenient situation for everyone involved.

In order to effectively prevent our website from going down, we needed
to think of priorities in how we are to inform people about the new
Arashi release.

So, what we did yesterday was to send the New Release Mail before we
informed people about the release in any other way, including our
website.

Our decision is based on our wish and desire to recognize and treat
customers who are subscribed first.

I know that this might not seem fair for people who are not
subscribed, but the purpose was to make our website withstand the
preorder so that at least people are not inconvenienced by our website
going down.

Also, you might have experienced confusion when you visited the page
from the link we included in the New Release Mail yesterday, as there
was no way to get to the page other than from that link.

By the way, there are greater number of people subscribed than the
number of the Limited Edition that the record company is able to provide.

So, you may continue to have the same difficulties trying to preorder
Limited Editions from Arashi, but I hope that you will find the
situation somewhat better from now on.

Please note that Arashi is the only artist that we would handle this way.

Also, the regular edition is still available.

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=JACA-5243

Thank you for subscribing to Arashi New Release Mail.

Sincerely,
Toshi Makiya
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/

haha HMV Japan uses EMS only

but anyway 5music uses registered airmail & just like for EMS , for both registered airmail & EMS articles , if you're or a family member's not at home , then the postman will leave you an invoice outside of your door & you have to collect the article the next day at the post office

No problem! You're welcome!


I've to admit, that I'm really looking forward to "Dear Snow" (even when the title would be more suitable for a winter-single! ). First of all, the title is really beautiful and it's the song for Nino's new movie "Ôku".
I SOOOOO want to watch this movie. I'm far more excited for this movie than for "Gantz", maybe because I LOVE samurai so much.

Okay, maybe Arashi's popularity seems to mean that for this specific artist it's just too overwhelming and puts a lot of strain, compared to Ayu where it's a bit more nimble and not so overwhelming...

Yah I got that too! lol

Basically when the pre-orders started you could only get to the page for the limited edition through the news mail link
Just so a hundred people didn't go on it at once.

Seems like Arashi's storm is way too strong to handle - like an F5 tornado, category five hurricane or a blizzard...

LOL WOW. damn, Arashi fans crashing CDJapan's servers. impressive.

so another new Arashi single, eh? you know, they could just do a double a-side or even a triple a-side. idgi. it's pretty crazy how much they're releasing this year. but i hope "Dear Snow" is good (if it's anything like the ballads on "Boku no Miteiru Fuukei," i'd be glad! lol). i don't really like "Love Rainbow" a whole lot.

Okay, so wait a minute, even before Love Rainbow is even released Arashi's releasing another single?! I mean, what's going on with their schedule!?

(At least it is OUT of Ayu's way - Arashi's releasing a single on September 8th, then Ayu releases one on the 22nd, then the 29th, then the week after that Arashi's releasing yet another single?! Man, both Ayu and Arashi sure are having some busy times as of now! Arashi's schedule, however, is sure enough the right fit, not forcing them to break Ayu's streak, as maybe many are highly anticipating Ayu's record-breaking attempt...

So this means the single count for Arashi this year would be five by October?)

YesAsia description of Dear Snow

Popular Japanese pop group Arashi goes for their 21st consecutive number one single with Dear Snow, which is also their 5th 2010 single. The reason for the short time between Love Rainbow and Dear Snow is because Dear Snow commemorates the release of the film Ooku, starring member Ninomiya Kazunari. The song is their first romantic ballad of the year, expressing the poetic, elegant visuals of the film with music.
