same here, karen, lol. but what i read is that nino's character dies in a train accident, along with kenichi matsuyama's character, and they are brought back to life by that mysterious black sphere (which explains why there's a black sphere in the CM) called GANTZ. then they gotta go through alot of things in order to kill aliens..or were they zombies...? something like that, lol. it's supposed to be a really raunchy/gory type of manga, so i can't even imagine what the movie must look like.

That's exactly what it is about. And did I mention Nino's character is a whiny, wussy pervert?

Why Nino, why are you wasting your great talent on something like this? Ok, I haven't seen it, but now you all know I hate the story. haha......sorry, GANTZ Fans.







...that said, I will watch it. I would watch anything he's involved in. In fact I did and even though I hated most of the doramas he was in, it doesn't change the fact, that he's fantastic. Only his roles are lacking.

Johnnys Jimusho could make more money if they would produce Countdown DVD's. Sometimes, I just don't get their marketing strategies.

Yeah, like why a couple of Arashi's tours have never been released.

i'm still sad that Dream "A" live's tour was never released i don't think ARASHIC's tour was released, either, right? cause i saw two fancams of it on youtube. it was "ready to fly" and "JAM+Raise your hands". unless those were just unreleased footage from their AAA in taiwan tour. i'm not sure..

[SunshineSlayer]

^ Nope that tour was inexplicably never released either. Nor have any of the solo concerts. It's baffling considering JE is such a money making machine. Hopefully those tours will see the light of day sometime as maybe a bonus dvd or something on a release.

And wasn't their 2006 Asia tour only released in pieces and not the entire show?

yeah but they put the full version of their Taipei concert in a 3rd disc in their ARASHI AROUND ASIA DVD but you only can find this in the limited edition of the DVD which I have

the normal ARASHI AROUND ASIA DVD has 2 discs which only shows digest snippets of their 1st Asian tour that time

[Beauty4123]

this is just too good to be a fancam

[SunshineSlayer]

So I have the Hows it Going, Iza Now, Time, and the Kokuritsu tour dvd. Are there any others that I am missing other than the Asia tour?

There's like 3 separate Asia tour DVD releases (Thailand-Taiwan-Korea, in Dome 2007, 2008 in Tokyo), did you count them in? Otherwise, you got them all.

I didn't count the last 2 in sorry about that & yes I have all of them xD

[Mai82Go]

Arashi Around Asia 2007 was the first time they did Dome concerts, right? Strange how they weren't that popular before. I remember buying the Arashi Around Asia + Dome Tour DVD back then, only because I wanted to watch Arashi rocking the Dome - I have a fascination with Dome Concerts.

yeah I believe so , they weren't considered the most popular Johnny's during the late 90's / early 00's

they really had a HUGE revival in popularity 2 years ago , when they put out Step and Go

I saw my younger sister's twitter message earlier on

uwa , new song & it means Shake it now ...

I'm having a strong feeling that they might release their 9th album in march now suddenly o_o

I really think the revival happened with Hana Yori Dango. Or at least Hana Yori Dango built it and then their other works capitalized on it.

About concert dvds: Am I mistaken or was there a ONE album concert dvd?

[KarenPang]

yeah I have a feeling that it started initally with Hana Yori Dango . The 1st season , ratings were OK but the 2nd season , the ratings were better than the 1st

Somemore , their single sales were OK when they released Happiness so I have a feeling somewhere before Step and Go was released , 'that' spark happened for the group

I also think that they were going on tour that time to promote Time & started their variety shows too which really helped to push them out & get a lot more attention than ever before

anyway SS , with regards to you asking about the whole One album concert dvd , no a concert DVD was not released during the time when they went on tour to promote One sadly

I checked the DVD's of their One & ARASHIC albums but nope D:

[SunshineSlayer]

^ Oh no, I don't mean that it is actually on the album dvd. But was the ONE concert ever released on DVD? Because I see there is a making of the concert that is subtitled but can't find the concert itself.

[KarenPang]

oh I'm sorry if I misunderstood on what you said earlier on *sleep deprived here slightly T_T

anyway from what I'm seeing on http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...disco_dvd.html , no ;___;

but I saw this being written if you have the CD + DVD of One

[DVD]

「メイキング・オブ・One」
アルバム『One』が出来上がるまでを、メンバーのコメントとともに送るドキュメンタリー映像

so maybe it's from there ?

[SunshineSlayer]

Ahh, I just found it! From what I can tell the ONE concert was actually released as a bonus DVD for the Arashi-C album. (only the limited edition version I think)

It seems maybe it wasn't the FULL concert though.
