Hi minna!

As I mention on my last post, I'll be giving more Arashi Updates!

Here they are!

----------

1. As days passes by, we notice sudden and different changes in JE. First, is the lifting up of Press Con Photos,followed by the ordering his talents to learn to speak english. And now, here is another change.

Johnny-san announced that JE finally setting up a Youtube Channel exclusive for his Johnny Jrs. It will be official signing on on March.21,2018. But as of this moment(as I check it on Youtube because I subscribe it as a form of support to our JE boys), there are 112k subscribers from the day it was announced. This news is also featured at Billboard website.

2. The FC members of our boys, Arashi, this year increase again by 10k members. Imagine, what more if the International fans are included?

They are really a STORM,indeed.

Oh! But wait! King and Prince, a combination of 2 JE Jr Group(Mr.KING and Prince), is the newest 6-member JE group composed of Hirano Sho,Nagase Ren, Takahashi Kaito, Kishi Yuta, Jinguji Yuta and Iwahashi Genki, garnered already a 100k fans,knowing that they are not yet having their First CD debut! What more if they debuted already this April 2018? Omedetou boys!

3.Lastly, Who are HanaDan Fans here? Raise your hands! ๐Ÿ™‹

Because I am one of those, I'll give you a short update. Hana Nochi Hare, The Hana yori Dango Sequel(yes,it's a sequel), TV preview/promotion is alreay aired last night, March.6,2018. One of the cast is Hirano Sho, member of the newest JE group, King and Prince (Kinpuri), who will be having their debut this April too!

I'm so excited. I already feel the HanaDan/HanaHare fever since I am one of the Fans.

But,don't worry, Kinpuri's Hirano Sho states that he will play the role without smearing the name made by Arashi's Matsumoto. ๐Ÿ˜Š

----------

That's all minna!! Have a nice day!

Hi minna!

I supposedly open ang post here in LJ yesterday,but I'm so busy.

Anyway,here are some news (bad and good news)

-----------

1. Since, it's not allowed to post a photo from Jweb, I know some of you know already a kinda bad news. Johnny-san decided to make the Jweb portal more on Nihonggo or in Japanese. It means,any Language translations(including English๐Ÿ˜ญ) will be stopped starting on Feb.28,2019.

While, those who are subscribing Jweb with that features will be cut after that sudden change.

Huhu.. We remember last time that he ask his talents to learn english, but look what's other way around.

I know,it's kinda sad for those who subscribing(I haven't suscribing the Jweb services,but I am relying to those comms that shares some translations of the Jweb.. Still,kinda sad). Big HUGS TO ALL OF YOU!

2. Two Different CM are released yesterday, Feb.28,2018. And this are:

A. Matsumoto Jun's Meiji Chocolate CM wherein he acts like a Prime Minister in the CM.

B. Ninomiya Kazunari Super Nanox CM wherein he is with the 4 cute panda bears.

Aside from that, March 1, another CM has been released for Ninomiya and this is the SAPPORO BEER.

And Aiba Masaki will b also having a new CM endorsement under Asahi. When will it be released? Soon. ๐Ÿ˜Š

3. According to Oricon website, ARASHI sets a new record for the most number of chart-topping singles after surpassing B'z with their latest single "Find the Answer" (395k copies in 1st week).

Since their debut single "A.RA.SHI" (1999), ARASHI has recorded 50 chart-topping singles to date.

https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2106467/full/?ref_cd=tw

4. Lastly, about Sakurai Sho's Movie "LAPLACE'S WITCH"

Ticket pre-sales will begin on MARCH 10 in cinemas all over Japan.
50,000 people will receive these exclusive clear files for free. (2 files for each person)

http://www.laplace-movie.jp/sp/news.html#ticket

-----

Well, I'll add up, since I'm a Gokusen Fan, remember Yankumi Sensei? Yes, the woman behind that love action drama character,Yukie Nakama is now 4 months pregnant! Omedetou Yukie-san!

----------

And by the way, since I am kinda hooked with HSJ( it's all because of Yamada Ryosuke), maybe, I may post somethings also about them.(you can't blame me, I love Arashi no matter what, it's just, I also exploring other JE groups. Hihi). Hope you understand!

Have a nice day minna!

Hi minna!

I supposedly take a very short break in posting here,but it seems like Arashi don't want me too(especially MatsuJun,He driving me crazy last week because of his Men's Club Esquire Magazine Edition.. Pure Rawr! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ).

Well,as my Journal Title said, I'll be giving some Updates!

----------
1. 99.9 Criminal Lawyer Season 2 Ratings!
Episode 6 ratings is....again! It's 17.0%! Omedetou 99.9 Team!

Previous episode Ratings:
Ep.1 - 15.1%
Ep.2 - 18.0%
Ep.3 - 16.2%
Ep.4 - 16.8%
Ep.5 - 17.0%

The cast are full force to promote Arashi's Single "Find the Answer" since it is used as OST of 99.9 s2.


2. When there's a good news,there's a sad news. In connection to 99.9 drama, compared to Season 1 which had a 11 episodes, this Season 2 only had 9 episode. Apparently, we only had 3 episodes left. Definitely, we will gonna miss Atty. Miyama.๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ’œ

Well,we gonna welcome Doc. Neen's Medical Drama "Black Pean". It is still a good transition after all.

3. Have all of watched the Music Station 2Hr Sp?
Well, I'll give you some screencaps of the Arashi performance since they use AR Technology in their "Shiro ga Mau" and "Find the Answer" performance.

(Honestly, I still haven't watch it full, only the FTA Perf.๐Ÿ˜‚)

5. The Sakurai Sho's Movie, "Laplace no Majo/ the Laplace Witch", will be shown on May.4. There are various Magazine and Movie promotion of the Cast in the following days...

6. I know some of you read already that Johnny-san ordered his talents to learn, at least, to speak English. I think, it is in the preperation of Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

And that's the great news,right? Another Change in JE.๐Ÿ˜โค

----------

Well, I had Last Song Syndrome with Arashi's Album..hahaha...

Anyway, Have a nice week ahead!

Haha.. Miss you all! Anyway, the long wait is over,my Fellow Arashian.

The Arashi's "Find the Answer", 54th Single and 1st Single for this 2018 is finally released today, Feb.21,2018. Aside to their carrier Single, "Find the Answer", which is used as the OST of Matsumoto Jun's drama, 99.9 Criminal Lawyer Season 2 (English title), the track list includes the theme song of NTV for Pyeongchang Winter Olympics 2018 which is "Shiro Ga Mau" wherein Arashi's Sakurai Sho is the main caster.

And lastly, Arashi will perform again this two Songs at Music Station this coming Friday, Feb.23,2018. ๐Ÿ˜Š

-----------

I know some of you already got their Copies of their newest Single.
Omedetou those who have! And for those who haven't, grab yours already until supplies last(whut?! ๐Ÿ˜‚)


Anyway,since I already listened the tracks today(twice or trice for me to appreciate it), I just tell you my very short review about the single.

Well,as always, I enjoyed listenting the Tracks,but this time (again but rarely moment XD I hate my grammar haha!), I'am really serious coz I don't usually played the Tracks like 3rd to 4th time from the moment I downloaded or played it in my PC. The song really fits in the Drama(as what I have said before) and their Music Video is soooo goood! I like the Side B also of the LE. It makes and pushes me listen it again for the 3rd and 4th time. The same with the tracks in the RE. If you will ask me the ranking of my fave Singles, this will rank to 2nd, next to their last year's Single "Tsunagu". As expected, ARASHI again never fail to make us,fans, happy with their Single. Omedetou Boys in advance.

----------

Ok guys!! This would be for today. On the next days (coz I'm in the mood), I'll be posting/updating some news for this week about our boys, especially, the Ranking of the Single's sales,the same way like before.

So! Enjoy Arashi Music Minna!!! ๐Ÿ’™โค๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜˜

P.S. Did some of you played "FIND SAKURAI CASTER" during his coverage of 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics using papapics? I bet and I guest, all of you did. Hahaha.. It's a fun game right? ๐Ÿ˜‚

FIRST: ARASHI
1. Untitled Concert Tour 2017-2018 is already over last Sunday. Now! I can't wait for my con goods to be delivered in my country. And also, I can't wait for their DVD concert plus bts. Haha! Anyway, OMEDETOU BOYS!

2. Matsumoto Jun's Drama "99.9 Keiji Senmon Bengoshi Season II" is already started yesterday, Jan.14,2018 at 9pm,Japan's Time.

The episode one really gives me a goosebumps because they flashback some memories of Atty.Miyama Hiroto,at the same time the new lawyer,Atty.Maiko Ozaki(played by Fumino Kimura),also having an interesting story. Well the other characters,including Atty. Atsuhiro Sada (played by Teriyuki Kagawa),Tatsuya Akashi(played by Jin Katagiri) and Atty.Haruhiko Madarame (Ittoku Kishibe), are still gives the story alive. (Well I really miss this dramaโค)

And it is really a good start since they got 15.1% ratings. Omedetou 99.9 Team! You really did a great job in the drama!

3. Ohno Satoshi's Mumon:The Land of the Sealth/ Shinobi no Kuni Movie is now already giving their previews on their upcoming release of DVD! Omedetou in advance Mumon Team!!!

4.Lastly, newest (yes,newest!)Arashi's Single for 2018,that was played last night in 99.9 Season2, "FIND THE ANSWER" will be released next Month! Yay! A really good start for Arashi! And the song, eventhough it is not played whole in the drama but already played by Nino in BayStorm, really fits in Jun's drama (as we look first on the title, The same way as Arashi's Daylight ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’œ). Can't wait again for the list of tracks!!!

----------

Now, as my Journal title says, I'll also give some updates too in other JE talents,aside from Arashi.

----------
Remember, Johnny-san announcement during JC 2017-2018? Yes! KAT-TUN IS BACK WITH A BANG!

And look! They will start their comeback with a concert this coming April.

It seems that KAT-TUN is really excited for their comeback. Omedetou KAT-TUN! Your fans(including us) are excited for you!

Hey!
How's your day?

I'm so sorry if I wasn't able to update my DW after (I think) Riida's Anniv.

Oh my! I'm so Sorry Sakurai Sho-kun! I wasn't able to greet you a Belated Happy Jiyanniversary. I still love you no matter what! hahaha! =*

Me? kinda excited and happy already. As what my title says, list of Con Goods are finally out in the J-net for Arashi's Untitled 2017-2018 Concert Tour. (I just can't post the list here in the DW, but suddenly, I know, Comms will post it later =) )

Meanwhile, Arashi's Doors single is now out in the market. Two (2) LE and one (1) RE are produced. And as of this moment, the sales is *drum rolls* 320,606! Hooray! higher than their "Tsunagu" single which is 225,153.

Anyway, OMEDETOU boys!

And 16 days to go before Riida's Bday.

And, since it's Riida's Month, I will not be able to give some trivias about him because I'am soooo BUSY. Don't worry, I'll give a shot on Aiba's Month. =D

Hi minna!

Gomen if I wasn't able to post last Sept.13 since my work really calls me..(what?)

Anyway, before I post my three trivia(yes three from day 13 up to now), I just want to greet our boys.

ARASHI-san!

Happy 18th Anniversary! I know you are still confuse with the date, ne? Since you debuted in Hawaii, and that day is tomorrow(haha).

Anyway, as always, we thank you for being our inspiration, for being our source of energy and happiness every time we feeling down. I know that JE already released a statement about the Fan's unethical and unmanageable behavior since Nino got stalk last time as he rode in a train, not only him, but also the rest of you in the past years. In behalf of my fellow fans who did that, we're so sorry. We promised we will behave well and we will still continue to support you in a nice way. Hopefully, my fellow Fan will learned their lesson already because every bad behavior we do reflects on you.

We love you! and Thank you from the buttom of our hearts. =) <3

Love,
Filipino Arashian since '07

-------------

Now, here's my trivia since Arashi have their new Album this coming October 18:

1. The album title "Popcorn" (2012) came up in a meeting when MatsuJun suggested a "Pop Concert" ans Aiba-san responded "Pop-Con" which they later change it into "Popcorn"

2. Meanwhile, Both "The Digitalian" (2014) and "Japonism" (2015) are Sakurai Sho's ideas. "Digitalian" is a vegetarian alien from Planet Digital.

3. The song "Take Off" for "The Digitalian" was supposed to be a joint writing between Sakurai Sho and another Song-Writer. But Sho got carried away and wrote the whole song, while being half drunk at home.

Hi minna!

I'm so sorry for the delayed post. I supposedly posting my trivia from day 9 to 11 yesterday, but my I had headache which makes me feel so moody and lazy in posting here in journal.

Anyway, to cope up my absences here, I'll be posting 4 trivia again! Here they are!!

--------------
Trivia:

1. ARASHI'S official fans club (FC) is the biggest fans club in Japan currently with more than 2 million members (as what I have posted last week) and the first 5 members are ARASHI THEMSELVES. In order of membership (first member means no.1 up to last means no.5) : 1. Aiba Masaki, 2. Sakurai Sho, 3. Ninomiya Kazunari, 4. Ohno Satoshi and 5. Matsumoto Jun.

The sequence was decided after a few round of "Janken" (rock-paper-scissors)

2. ARASHI's 15th Anniversary concert in Hawaii in 2014 was based on an invitation by Hawaii Governor.

3. The ARASHI's concert in Hawaii in 2014 was supported strongly by the local government that you could pass the airport immigration with the word "ARASHI". Arashi Flag was waving next to US and Hawaii Flag and Sept.19,2014 was declared as "ARASHI DAY".

(first 3 trivia are from: The Storm x Rainbow x Ridiculousness FB Page)

4. There was an episode in VS Arashi wherein they tackle the topic of their anniversary date. Aiba said that they (Arashi) were always confused on the date they debuted as ARASHI, which is SEPTEMBER 15 or SEPTEMBER 16. Sho also explained why they are always confused of the date. That is all because of the TIME ZONE, they debuted in Hawaii on SEPTEMBER 15 in HAWAII TIME and on the counter part, that is already SEPTEMBER 16 in JAPAN's TIME. (and Riida added in their last convo: " WHY THEY ARE DEBUTED IN SUCH A COMPLICATED WAY?" remember the they are debuted while riding in the cruise ship? XD)

Hello minna! I forgot to post my Trivia yesterday since I was carried away with my emotions (wow) because of the great news yesterday. So,let me share this News with you,my Fellow Arashian:
In regards to the Photo above, Arashi will be having their new ALBUM for this year 2017 and the Title is "UNTITLED". Yes,you read it right, the title is "UNTITLED"(hooray๐ŸŽ‰). And the Lead Track for this Album is entitled "MIKAN" (UNFINISHED). This will be released on October 18,2017. In CD Japan Site, it will be released in RE,LE and in Bundle.

----------

Looks Creative Right? And intriguing..haha.

Anyway,here are my 2 Arashi Trivia for today:

-----------
Trivia:

1. As of this moment, Arashi still holds the record in Johnny's for having a largest number of FC members in JWeb with more than 2 Million members. (What more if the outside fans are included ๐Ÿ˜‰)

2. Arashi's Tallest member is Aiba Masaki (176cm) while the Smallest member(truth hurts๐Ÿ˜‚) is Ohno Satoshi (166cm). Before,the smallest member is Matsumoto Jun while the tallest is still, Aiba Masaki.๐Ÿ˜‰

Hello minna!!

I never thought that I would be busy again that's why I wasn't able to post Arashi Trivias these past days (actually from Day 1 ๐Ÿ˜‚). Anyway, I'll be posting 6 trivias today! Here they are!!!

---------
Trivia:

1. "A.Ra.Shi", the Arashi's Debut Single have Korean and Chinese Version.

2. Arashi also had a hard times during their starting years. According to them, "The priority of Arashi in the company is 8th".

3. In 2005, Arashi filmed the "Subarashii Sekai PV",but after that, the company didn't released it because the company way afraid that no one will buy it. JE also did not released their ONE DVD Concert, eventhough Jun insisted them to release it. In the end of 2005, Jun accepted the role of Domyouji Tsukasa in Hana Yori Dango for them to release new Single. Because of that, other members joked," Thanks to MatsuJun's Hanadan, that we get work to do".

4. In Arashi's dark era, they didn't have many movies, tv shows, radio shows and drama. Their shows are all aired in the Kanto region, which make them called "Kanto Region Artist"

5. Arashi has been chosen to provide Olympic Theme song for four times. HERO,KAZE NO MUKOU E, YURASE IMA WO and AKASHI. And last year,they also have the POWER OF THE PARADISE as an Olympic song for the previous RIO OLYMPICS.

6. Since their debut, ARASHI was under Pony Canyon which allowed them to release only 2 singles a year.
In 2002, President Johnny brought Arashi to leave Pony Canyon for their own private label, JStorm. With 3 more Johnny's group added to the label and ARASHI contributing almost 40% of the annual profits, JStorm is currently the 3rd most successful music label in Japan.

Most of my trivias are about dark eras/ups and downs of Arashi, which makes me become so proud to be one of their million fans. ๐Ÿ˜Š
And no doubt, Arashi is one of the precious Talent of Sir Johnny. =)

That's all! have a nice day!

Hello minna!

It's been 4 days since I updated my journal. Because of that, I would like to apologize. And about the review on Arashi performance in The Music Day last July 1, I've already prepared one but Real Life really KILLS ME from the very beginning of this month until this very day,so I wasn't able to post it(yup again) here. I'm so sorry.

But,I'll just give you an update regarding the sales of 'Tsunagu' Single and the much awaited Arashi Live 2017-2018.

---------------
First,the 'Tsunagu' Single.

As of yesterday,July 10,2017, according to KEVIN BORG and PETER NORD's FB account(the one who written the lyrics and produced 'Tsunagu' Single), the single itself reached more than 420,000 copies sold in JAPAN, which leads to the 'DOUBLE PLATINUM' status. And the single is still no.1 in the charts!

-oh,take note! It's just from Japan sales only,what more the outside sales?
Omedetou,Arashi-chan! โค

-----------------
Next,the much awaited Arashi's 2017-2018 Live tour Schedule.

*Arashi Live Tour 2017-2018!

Sapporo:Nov17-19
Tokyo:Dec1-3,Dec 24-26
Fukuoka:Dec8-10
Nagoya:Dec15-17
Osaka:Jan12-14

-Did you notice something? Yeah! Me too! This sched was released during WWG,before the show itself started.And acording to my readings, this kind of announcement is the same way as last year,before the Album Title/Concept was released. Yes, the news about Asian Tour is really fake one.(How sad,many of us prayed for that,even I). Well,eventhough the Asain Tour is not true,I'am now excited for the Tour because I already feel the new ALBUM this year! Yay!

--------000----------

That's all for the updates! Now,what's your thought about this? Come on, share it with me here!

Have a nice day minna! ๐Ÿ˜˜

HELLO MINNA!

First of all, I would like to apologize since I wasn't able to update my LJ this past days,especially,June 30. I supposedly write a review about Arashi's performance last June 29(I think), which is their performance of their newest Single "Tsunagu" in Music Station,used in Ohno Satoshi's movie, "Shinobi no Kuni". But, due to hectic schedule, I wasn't able to do one (yes! Real life stuff here we go!).

But,again,I'am planning to make a review regarding to their performance and appearance in much awaited July 1,2017, THE MUSIC DAY, wherein Sakurai Sho again is the host. But,ofcourse,I'll be rewatching the Arashi's cut scenes,specifically, their performance, so that I can give my clear review regarding to that. I'll be posting it soon here onmy LJ,so just wait.

For now, I just give you an update regarding to Arashi's Single "Tsunagu" Sales. As of releasing date/first day of sales,June 28, Arashi's "Tsunagu" sales is 225,153.(source ngewpie).

Omedetou, Arashi!!

That's all for today! Have a nice week!โค

Hi!
I would like you to know guys, this post is not about Nino. But don't worry,it is still about Arashi. But this time,it is more on my Fangirl thing.

So this will be my 1st OFFICIAL Fangirl thing post huh? Haha! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Anyway,I just want to release my happiness about the release of Arashi's newest Single (yup,it is the 2nd Single for this year 2017) entitled "TSUNAGU", which is used as the OST of Ohno Satoshi's Movie "Shinobi no Kuni". Actually, since the day that JE started to show some LE and RE covers and also, when I hear the BG song of new JAL CM of Arashi entitled "Reach for the Sky", I feel so excited already. The bad thing here,I didn't order CDs. It is because I would rather choose to buy Albums than Singles (that's for me,if you will ask me).

And today, the Arashians are really quick, as in, "Oh my! SINGLES ARE REALLY OUT TODAY AND SOME ARE ALREADY POSTING THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SONGS INSIDE THE SINGLE!". Haha. And you know what? They say that the PV is cool (yup, it is, I saw the short version,esp. The sand effect and dance moves). Also the JAL OST are somewhat gives them an LSS feeling. Those thing make me feel so jealous already ๐Ÿ’”. How I wish, I can DL the LE and RE today, especially the PV and PV making, in other Social media sites so that I can share my thoughts too.๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ข

But anyway, I'm happy for those who already bought their copy. Enjoy guys! And me.. Haha, I'll be thinking if I'll buy one since alot of good feedbacks about the singles are already posted.

That all for my non-sense Fangirl thoughts. Now, tell and spoil me already my friends, what's your FanGirl thoughts about Tsunagu Single?
