AH! You're from Finland!!! My friend loves that place!!

Yeah, I still kind of don't like the covers. But maybe I'll change my mind once I get my copy....hmmm. But yeah, I think everyone started to love Arashi after seeing one of Jun's dramas. I mean look at him!!! *drools*

The regular edition has a nice booklet with some pictures. Very nice, in my opinion. The limited edition CD has a 2-page booklet. THe lyrics are on a folded piece of yellow paper. I was a bit disappointed.

Not a huge Arashi fan but I have to admit the new album is good.

Songs like Cry for you, Love so sweet and many more are simply pleasant.
So good luck to the sales!

wow, the limited edition sounds like a letdown
=/
good thing i'm getting regular
but it's going to take forever seeing as how my dad
still didn't give me the money to send off!!!!
*dies*

wow, on the first day it went on sale
TIME sold 45, 404!
Do you think they'll be number 1 this week?

Really?

That's nice to hear, though I don't feel like Finland is interesting... xD

Wow. That's weird. Shouldn't the Limited edition have all the best stuff like 100paged booklet and 40 extra songs? Now what do we have here: 5 extra songs. 2-paged booklet and sucky cover, while Regular edition has a great cover, a great booklet, it's cheaper and if I remember right 1 extra track? The solos must be really worth it if you're buying the Limited edition.

For me they even weren't that special.

yatsuda · #28 17th July 2007, 01:09 AM

Yes, the regular edition CD has an extra track, and it is cheaper.

I took (really crappy) photos of both CD editions...

wow, i didn't even know there was an Arashi thread. o__o.

anyway, i think Time > ARASHIC. it is a solid album, especially for a Johnny's Jimusho act. i think i'm going to buy myself a copy.

(thanks for the scans yatsuda! the Regular Edition looks tempting!)

the sales for Time are great! i think it's their 2nd highest 1st week sales for an album! congrats to the boys. i think 2007 is their year, definitely! Love so sweet became their 2nd highest selling single, now Time's getting good sales. not to mention their dorama & movies success too.

edit:
oh, the thread was made a couple days ago. LOL. i'm a Jun-bait myself. i watched Gokusen in 2005. tehehe.

yatsuda · #30 17th July 2007, 01:35 AM

Everybody says that Arachic is their best album... I think I'll get that one too, then!!!

I wonder how many spots the album will slip this week. I hope they stay in the top 10

ll moments ll · #31 17th July 2007, 01:51 AM

i love ARASHIC too. especially for Kitto Daijoubu, WISH, Cool & Soul, I Want Somebody, & Secret Eyes.

i hope Time gets 30-50k 2nd week!

#32 17th July 2007, 02:20 AM

-drools-
wow! the regular edition booklet looks soooooo pretty
thanks for the pics yatsuda!!
CURSE YOU DADDY AND YOUR SLOW PAYCHECK ! ! !

Hasn't Arashi always debuted at number one? I think a lot of Johnny's groups debut at number one...even KAT-TUN.... >_<

and yay || moments ||! more people in the Arashi thread! I just finished watching Gokusen last week, I cried with a smile on my face. I really wanna see that dang special episode! I won't be watching Gokusen 2 though, even if it has the pretty-even-though-i-hate-his-group Kame.

ll moments ll · #33 17th July 2007, 03:44 AM

not all releases have been number 1 (for weeklies). "Typhoon Generation", "Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi", & "Hadashi no Mirai / Kotoba Yori Taisetsu na Mono" singles were either #2 or #3. but, i still think those are pretty good ranks.

ah! Gokusen SP was pretty good from what I remember.

i watched Gokusen 2 as well. it's the same, but with different people, LOL. i loved Kame in it. he was great.

aww, you don't like KAT-TUN? XD the hype for me has gone down, but they introduced me to JE. so, i have a soft spot for them. :3 i just mainly like Kame and Junnosuke Taguchi.

summersnow · #34 17th July 2007, 05:43 AM

thanks for the pics, yatsuda!

those tempted me to grab a copy!! xD

And yes, ARASHIC is great too!!

#35 17th July 2007, 12:27 PM

I'm soooo psyched for this new album
!!! Aiba's perm !!!
i love it now
I miss Ohno's blond hair...

so, what're the highlights of the album?
like your fave tracks? I haven't listened to any tracks yet
besides Yabai-Yabai-Yabai and Niji.

yatsuda · #36 17th July 2007, 03:19 PM

On the solo CD, my favourite tracks are Song for me, and Niji (I listened to them without checking who sang what, on purpose. Yay, Niji!! I'm a Nino-kun fan!!).

On the regular album, I love Oh! Yeah!, Love so sweet, We can make it! Taiyou no sekai, Carry on, Aozorapedaru... Aaaaaah, I pretty much love the whole darn album!!! Highlight? Perhaps the variety of styles? I definitely can't get bored listening to this album over and over again.

#37 19th July 2007, 04:39 PM

That gets me even more excited!

my order has been received and should be
shipping soon!
however i don't know when
because glitter/fated usually ships in 3-7 days
while Time ships in 1-2 days...does anyone know how this'll work out?

Oh! How come Happiness isn't on TIME? Is it going to be a new single?

#38 19th July 2007, 04:46 PM

yay Arashi!
*waits for TIME cd..*
i haven't and will not hear it 'til it arrives!
but i don't really liek the covers.. oh well

Aga-chan · #39 19th July 2007, 05:00 PM

Yay, an Arashi thread. *_* I don't think I can call myself a fan, but I really like them. The reason I gave Arashi a second chance was HanaDan/MatsuJun/PIKA*NCHI live performance. x3 They are basically the act that got me more into JE.

I have only one album so far (their first single collection). But I hope I can at least get the other singles collection and "TIME" sometime.

summersnow · #40 19th July 2007, 05:08 PM

yup perhaps Happiness will be their upcoming single.
