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

[Beauty4123]

$40+ ?! i mean, for me an arashi album would be worth the money and all, LOL, but this is just too expensive for a CD. and i thought $20 was expensive

doesn't YA or CDJapan know that there are teenagers who are buying this, too? how do they expect students to pay this much? crazy! i can only imagine how much it is is including shipping...

[KarenPang]

yeah because the album itself is already 3,800 Yen inclusive of tax & it's 2 discs somemore

1st disc contains the singles & album tracks while disc 2 will be the solos & this has the same release format as Dream"A"live & Time

this time round for Boku no Miteiru Fukei , JStorm was 'nice enough' not to release it in 2 editions so they only do it for 1 standard edition

I also find it ridiculous to pay so much & it's not including shipping . Imagine if you add in that , that will be though the roof X_X

doesn't YA or CDJapan know that there are teenagers who are buying this, too? how do they expect students to pay this much? crazy! i can only imagine how much it is is including shipping...

xD but if you get it though YesAsia , you don't need to pay for shipping fee as it's above US$39

then again it's not exactly free since you have to pay for extra costs for the album to arrive at YesAsia's headoffice from Japan to Hong Kong ~_~

[Beauty4123]

ohh i didn't know that! well, i think the bottom line of this all is that....it's just too much money, LOL. it's a crazy business!

[KarenPang]

LOL yeah so true

that's why I kept on saying all the time that OS presses are literally a lifesaver . I don't care waiting as long as I get an original copy at 2/3 as compared to what I might have to pay for a Japan press

anyway Monster is certified Double Platinum for shipment of 500K copies

Maybe To be free will follow suit too ?

15 secs CM of NatsuNiji

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

you can hear Love Rainbow in the background

ok it doesn't sound like it's going to be a ballad to me , then again I could be wrong

[Beauty4123]

yea, it sounds upbeat! and a bit different, too. now i really wanna hear it in full!

i wish they'd air a CM with actual drama footage, lol. i really wanna see some scenes!

edit: here's the whole arashi part from today's HEY!HEY!HEY!:


edit #2: FINALLY! i found some footage of natsuniji:

uck I disliked Oh-chan's hair like that XD lol
I prefer his Happiness hair

anyways sorta kinda heard Rainbow in the background sounds nice so far!! Can't wait for cover art for the album!
I'm hoping it has nice packaging!

[KarenPang]

hard to believe they haven't performed/appeared on HEYx3 for close to a year O_O

LOL @ Downtown picking on them again , it's always so epic fail really 8D

MatsuJun started a JWEB for Natsu no Michi Shirube so

[Beauty4123]

oooh a JWEB! i can read jun's writings, right? i was hoping a hot picture would have been posted though, LOL.

[KarenPang]

xD xD

well I assume this JWEB MatsuJun started in terms of updates will be everything anything related to Natsu no Michi Shirube .

I remembered Kame started one when Kami no Shizuku was on so I was a bit sad when the drama ended as it was the end of him updating the JWEB for it T-T

so enjoy that while it last , Lisa

[Beauty4123]

it's still amazing how ohno's single got over 100k, lol. i guess we should never underestimate an arashi single but first week sales for to be free are really great!

[Bigtop]

That sure is a lot for both! But where's Ohno's single? I'm quite interested because I don't see it on AHS or even JPS...

[KarenPang]

I already posted the 1st week sales for both To be free & Ohno's solo single didn't you see ?!
