CYA ALL NEXT CONTEST! X3

It's been posted about already, but here's a picture for proof:

( Sakurai to appear in Aiba's drama )

The text is kind of blurry and hard to read, but the basic gist of it is that they were so in tune with one another that they only needed one take to film the scene, and Aiba also talked a bit about how he had wanted one of the other members to make an appearance someday. Sho will be appearing in the last episode, which will air on December 11th.

EDIT: Sho will play Sato-kun, a new member to Masamune's team at the photography studio. They only have one scene together though. :(

Nino, new movie Ohoku released in autumn 2010, start filming from spring confirm. seems official announcement is tomorrow. According fortune teller at Shukudai or Arashi-chan. I remember Nino’s previous life was senior woman at harem.. just like this movie.
aired last night FNS music fest. at Mezamashi not new scenes.
My girl, staff blog.. You must already know Sho Sakurai-san appears at final on air 11 December. Sakurai-san’s role is Stato-kun, a new member of Masamune-kun’s photo studio staff. It’s only one scene. But this is important scene that Masamune-kun’s feeling comes out. So I also went to the site. However they get along. This is first filming site of My Girl for Sakurai-san. I wonder how it’d go. I entered to studio. Amazing! What is amazing? Sakurai-san gets used to the site just like he’s been since the beginning of filming. “Site’s atmosphere was so warm and pleasant so I got into smoothly. It’s all because of your favor.” I thought the reason why he get into smoothly was because of our leader, Aiba-san. Indeed, he talked to Sakurai-san during rehearsal too. Sometime peacefully, sometime seriously. After filming. I asked Aiba-san, he talked about acting pause and others to Sakura-san. Aiba-san “I realized group love and thought ‘Arashi is the best.’” It’s not only chummy group it’s also group of professionals. I realized sense of respect. At finally Masamune and Koharu will take big step. Please look forward to it. Ata the end of filming Sakurai-san said. “it was an honor.” I just wonder why English speaker says Sakuraiba actually Japanese fans call Sakuraba 櫻葉 (cherry tree leaf)
 Nikkan Sports, <Exile new album hits million sales on the day release> 1.05 million sell-in on the first day. Million sales CDs of this year are only 2 pieces, Arashi’s best “Arashi the Best 1999-2009” and GreeeeN “Salt pepper”
Best Aratist CM aired yesterday with Sho-chan at Ongaku-Senshi, I missed.as I was completely into Nino’s Ohoku and walking stick that time.

What he's really saying is:
"Without further delay, this is My Girl [Arashi no Shukudai-kun]. Please watch." XD
Have a nice day!

Hey Everyone - This is my first time posting here so hopefully I'm not breaking any rules or anything - after watching FNS I completely fell in love with Arashi's version of Fuyu ga Hajimaru yo so I knew I had to make an mp3 of it - which I did and I though I'd share it here in case anyone else wanted it as well;

http://www.mediafire.com/?2n4jimuezuj

I took it from a raw so hopefully the quality is okay and I hope you all like it as much as I do ^^


- edit -

Well I decided I wasn't just happy having to song on my ipod that I wanted to have it as my ringtone as well so I did a cut of the chorus in case anyone wants it as well... this song has put me so in the holiday mood ^^ once again sorry if the quality isn't too good.

Hey guys,

I just have a quick question! Do any of you have the Hong Kong version of 5×10 All the BEST! CLIPS 1999-2009?
If so, are the Chinese subs removable? I'm curious because I remember a while back, someone said you couldn't take them off the HK edition of the Time concert, and if that's the case then I'll try wait for the Korean version. Any info would really be appreciated!

Arashi sang "Ashita no Kioku" with light grey gorgeous suits! ^__________^

They look so good!!!!

They also sang a collaboration song with Makihara Noriyuki, called "Fuyu ga hajimaruyo".

I am quite sad... I was hoping for Tokei Jikake no Umbrella performance... T.T

Very sorry if this has been asked already. But is it just me, or is yukie-chan's subbed video index forbidden for everyone already? D:

just in case you would just like to watch it on streaming :)

Masamune's Secret Letters - #5

To Youko-san in heaven.

I think you may have heard this on the string telephone... I broke the promise with Koharu-chan. Even though we said we’ll talk to each other about anything, I didn't tell her of my troubles. I didn't want her to worry and stay as free as she normally is. But really, it wasn't the same as usual, I thought that I had to advance.. but I couldn't see my future, and the advance forward seemed scary… I want to be a camera-man, but I don't have the confidence… I want to step forward as I always do.

With this in my mind, I couldn't smile, but Youko-san, recently I acted as a photographer assistant to my boss Hayashi-san. Hayashi-san had quit taking photos for his family, but that day, he took up his camera again so see his family advance in smiles. Hayashi-san when taking photos of his family had a really great smile. When Hayashi-san quitted taking photos, he must have been like me, um, probably more troubled than me. But, he wasn't wrong. Which every choice is decided. The courage to make the decision and then to believe in the decision and to work hard at it is the important thing. If you do so, even if it are difficult or sad things, the next day will lead to a smile.

I think I will properly aim at being a cameraman. Koharu-chan said to me, when im working im like the sun. I want Koharu-chan to always be able to smile like the sun. so… Honestly, I don't have much confidence. But I want to work hard. I’ll smile from the bottom of my heart being able to charge through to the road I like and I want Koharu-chan to smile. I want for Youko-san to smile at me too….
Youko-san, if you see me, would you smile at me too?

- Masamune

just in case you just want to watch it streaming :)

the boys looked so gorgeous in their suits! <3

47News, <Arashi, Best DVD zenith of their power “Arashi 5x10 All the Best! Clips 1999-2009”> Recent popular idol group of 5 unit, most powerful among Johnny’s is Arashi. Satoshi Ohno, Sho Sakurai, Masaki Aiba, Kazunari Ninomiya, Jun Matsumoto, each member performs leading role of drama or newscaster at news show. They are active universally. This Best version clip collection, 31 tunes included from debut song “A.ra.shi” to “Crazy Moon” Before each song a member shows up and talks memory about this song, These videos like introduction are included. Sakurai who looks like after news show loosens his tie slightly tired, and talks lying on. This must be aspired by fans. I think this familiarity causes their popularity. “Arashi Tatsunoko ‘Animation film of Belive’” Tastunoko production’s animation which 5 dressed animation character included as bonus if fun trial and high-quality.
