[Beauty4123]

this is ARASHI~
in 1999, they debuted aboard a cruise ship in Hawaii, and have been making a storm across japan ever since! they are currently in their 11th year of success. arashi belong to the agency, Johnny & Associates, and they are under the record label - J-Storm. they've gotten single of the year in 2008, and single/album/DVD of the year in 2009.

Group Members


大野智 | Ohno Satoshi

♥ Ohno became the group's leader because of a Rock-Paper-Scissors game he did with Sakurai! He didn't even want to be the leader!
♥ A mama's boy! He says his mom still buys his clothes & that goes for his shoes too o_O!
♥ Known for his amazing artistic ability & he really LOVES fishing!
♥ Never fails to engage in neverending otherwise dead panned mannered verbal & physical fights against SMAP's leader Nakai Masahiro whenever the guys appear on the comedy show Utaban in which Nakai's the host alongside with comedian Ishibashi Takaaki
♥ Possibly the most quietest member in the group but if you give him a chance to talk , he will bound to say something amusing/funny to make everyone laugh in any good way possible


松本潤 | Matsumoto Jun (also known as MatsuJun )

♥ Jun is an elite in Johnny's - meaning that he is one of the only 3 men in Johnny & Associates who didn't have to audition as the boss himself Johnny-san called him personally on his handphone to join the company!
♥ Unofficially in a way or 2 loyal fans of him coined the term "Jun-bait" no thanks to his good looks and acting roles!
♥ Although the youngest, he's the most serious about ARASHI's work!
♥ Became the 1st male artist to pose on the cover of the now defunct (in Japan only) Marie Claire magazine which took place 3 years ago in June (pun intended)
♥ In AHS , MatsuJun belongs to Beauty4123 / Lisa while Karen used to be his ex xD


二宮和也 | Ninomiya Kazunari (also known as Nino)

♥ Nino is the husband of Karen's french friend Nat xD
♥ Has made his Hollywood debut in Clint Eastwoods Letters from Iwo Jima!
♥ Loves to play jokes and pranks on other members!
♥ A self proclaimed Otaku!
♥ Together with Ohno , both of them form a duo called OhMiya which displayed a lot of *ahem* fanservice moments to the delight of fans!
♥ He especially has two mistresses from AHS, which are teddbear55 & ll moments ll !


櫻井翔 | Sakurai Sho

♥ Sho may seem to be the most manly in the group - but he's the biggest scaredy cat & he surprisingly screamed a lot more lesser than Aiba LOL LOL LOL during a special broadcast of Himitsu no Arashi-chan where they had to go in to investigate an inn that was 'haunted' ! & Sakurai can run REALLY fast . Faster than Aiba anytime of the day LOL
♥ Inspired many of his kouhai to attend college after getting into Keio University & in the process , graduated with a degree which he majored in Economics!
♥ Also hosts the popular news show NEWS ZERO!
♥ The designated rapper of the group who writes his own rap lyrics , this's also known as "Sakurap" . Because of him , this inspired his Junior , KAT-TUN's Tanaka Koki to do so too
♥ He's known as the brother in law of KarenPang! (LOL LOL LOL 8D )


相葉雅紀 | Aiba Masaki

♥ Aiba loves animals (even though he's scared of birds & kangaroos :O) which lead him to work on Tensai! Shimura Dobutsuen where he often gets to work (hilariously) with wild animals!
♥ Joined Johnny & Associates only to meet his idol V6's Miyake Ken and play basketball with SMAP!
♥ Loves speaking English - even though he's not too great at it!
♥ In the same wavelength (brain wise & then some) as BREAKERZ's frontman DAIGO
♥ Loves experimenting in lots of weird ways/manners you can imagine/think of in the band's variety shows ! So much so that he even has his own corner called Ai-land (short form for Aiba-land) in Arashi no Shukudai-kun!

HAPPY POSTING!!

[KarenPang]

lol nice thread title , Lisa

I like that you combine the song titles Time Capsule & Aiba's Magical Song into one , good job !

[Beauty4123]

LOL thank you! creativity comes natural to me, but when it comes to making thread titles, i suffer from a bit of a block, so i'm glad you like this title! originally i was just going to use Magical Song, but it looked boring by itself so tada! 2 titles combined

[dreamland2.0]

Yay new thread!! The title is so cute!!
Can't wait to hear Dear Snow!
And to watch Nino's drama!!

[KarenPang]

since Dear Snow will be a ballad , I guess Time Capsule will be something upbeat to contrast/compliment the single

I remembered the last time when the B-side of their single is not included in a CD + DVD was Step and Go

ok maybe you can count One Love in xD since you only can find the FINAL REMIX in the CD + DVD & not CD only

[Beauty4123]

since the info on Dear Snow was just posted this week, i'll post it in this thread in case anyone missed it!

[Beauty4123]

So much so that she went out yesterday afternoon , trying to search for the brand of fridge Nino endorse in the CM but she wasn't able to find it

that plate of raw sashimi looks really appetising too LOL

[ll moments ll]

Nino is so adorable! love the CM.

[Midori-chan]

Wow, new thread already?!

GREAT first post! I love the pics!


@Nino's CM: I've seen it a few days ago and I think it's really sweet. I also liked Aiba's and Sho's and can't wait to see the two missing ones!

Do you wanna know? I can tell you in spoilers if you want. (At least what happens in the manga - so far it looks exactly like the manga, so I think the end, where that scene will take place, will be the same, too)

That's nice of you, but I've to decline.
I'm just sooooo excited about this movie and want to find out what happens on my own!!

I really can't wait for "Ooku".
I'm actually looking forward more to this movie than for "GANTZ" (maybe, because I'm not a big fan of action movies). But I'll watch this one too, of course, because I can't resist Nino's acting skills!
