[ARASHI] 5 x 10 || Arashi's 22nd Thread

[KarenPang]

I can't believe the guys took part at last year's 24 Hour TV . Seems like yesterday that happened

Congrats, Arashi. I think they really deserve this million seller album after 10 years. Their concert was just AWESOME, the fans were so united and the boys... seemed so grateful to have us there watching them!! MatsuJun was just too kakkoii (but he seemed so embarassed in the A.RA.SHI suit!)!!! And Nino... he turned around where I was sitting and sang "Dakishimete" to my section... all the girls (yes, only girls, really) started screaming!! Sho looked so pitiful when flying (twice!!!)!! And Aiba-chan was being picked on by Jun during the MC (his new drama being only showed on Chiba TV--Aiba-kun is from Chiba, unlike the other boys who are from Tokyo). Anyways, I gush too much!! And it's been so long since I posted here. AHS mostly never works for me!!

[KarenPang]

OMG , long time no talk man Yatsuda

you're so lucky to have caught their concert live . Everyone on here's probably throwing darts behind your back for doing so since it's virtually impossible to get tickets to go see them live now more or less .____.

but no jokes aside , yeah they have come a long way since debuting 10 years ago

MatsuJun - but yeah those A.RA.SHI costumes were o_O

Sakurai - also . I know that he's damn scared of heights & to ask him to do such a thing , it's like passing a death sentence xD

[Aga-chan]

^The funny thing is, though, that he does it. He is really brave. =O

Thanks for the short report, yatsuda. ^^ What did you like most in the concert? Like which performance or segment.

[KarenPang]

lol I think Sakurai did it 'by force'

I know that for last year's Dream"A"live tour , they were singing Sakura Sake in the beginning & then they did so by suspension on top of the air with ropes alongside with the Dream"A"live balloon

I remembered when the guys went on MUSIC STATION last year , Sakurai mentioned about this & that he said it's either he go on top & sing the song with the rest or it's just him alone on the ground floor doing so LOL LOL

[Beauty4123]

finally it's officially a million

can't wait to see inoue mao on himitsu too i wanna see how she's with jun, especially, lol.

[yatsudamf]

Poor Sho, really!! The 2nd time he was flying around (truth), he just froze into a certain pose... it was hilarious but pitiful at the same time!!
Hnnnn... which performance... that's so difficult!!! I REALLY enjoyed MatsuJun's solo rendition of WISH. Its jazzy feel and MatsuJun's kakkoii moves was just overwhelmingly awesome!! Happiness was fun too with all the members running around gesturing, rolling themselves on the ground, smiling, winking, having fun with the fans. During the One Love performance tons of balloons were released in the air... very pretty!! And Beautiful Days was touching (the fans were a little calmer and sang along). All in all, they sang super well and the choreography was fun and well executed!! It was fun too when the young Johnny's boys (those who haven't debuted yet) would come to the end of a stage and wave to the crowd. Some of them are really cute and dance really well!
The MC was all about how they call certain Johnny's "sempai" or members (V6 members, Nishikido Ryo, for example) or how they behave around them. When Aiba-chan started talking about his new drama, the members just disappeared, LOL!! But they came back one by one in order to tease him.
There were 2 encores... all the members seemed choked with emotion when they talked about their 10 years as Arashi. Nino said that he's not a serious person, but with Arashi it's the first time he takes things seriously. Jun really thanked the fans for their support.
Ah! Kokuritsu is HUGE!!! It was my first time at an outdoors concert!! I can't imagine how tough it must've been for the fans and Arashi on Sunday night with the typhoon nearing.
Detail: I go to Kokuritsu just before 3pm, and lined up for the goods. After circling the area and waiting at the same spot for over an hour, I FINALLY got to the goods stalls (30 minutes before the concert!!!). I had to wait over 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!! But it was REALLY worth it (although the penlight and the bath towel were sold out!!!!). I got a t-shirt, a charm, 5 mini-uchiwas, a notebook, an eco-bag, and a concert pamphlet!!

[KarenPang]

Aiba - . That's so cute . I think that was done on purpose or something

but what touched me is what you said about Nino . I know he's those type of people that likes to play & have a good time but I guess being in ARASHI for 10 years somewhat mellow him down in a way or 2

Sakurai -

yokoyama is the story teller, too! i love me some more yoko

[KarenPang]

^ saw that in the NEWS & Eito LJ's communities

I wonder why they called it a mini drama , it's weird but anyway go go Ohno

[Beauty4123]

it's only 15 minutes for each episode in a span of 6 months, lol. so maybe that's why.

[KarenPang]

yeah avex Taiwan put that All the BEST ! is released officially today in Taiwan

kinda understand as to why Hong Kong's getting later because they need a few days & time for the stock to be shipped from Taiwan to Hong Kong where YesAsia's based

[ll moments ll]

don't worry Lisa, i shall wait with you.
as from my last YesAsia package, it should come in a week+ after dispatch.

[KarenPang]

should be gone with express mail shipping for Lisa & Kaori but EMS's terribly expensive

so not worth it at all

===

I went for my 1st Karaoke session with my sister & friend earlier on today after classes & we did a LOT of ARASHI songs

Let's see , we did A.RA.SHI , Sakura Sake , One Love , truth , Believe , Ashita no Kioku

One Love was the easiest for me to sing because from the start to the end , I know the lyrics by hard

but the Sakurap for Believe was HARD @_@

I'm going for another one in due time xD

[Beauty4123]

yesterday's mannequin five from himitsu no arashi was hilarious! sho was dressed like VERBAL of m-flo! he looked sooo good, too and jun was michael jackson, LOL. it totally fits him well. nino and ohno looked great too, but ohno's out was... poor aiba dressed so plain

http://www.youtube.com/user/beepycha.../2/_f8r7StkEmU
