Arashi

^ I'm sure it will! Three tie-ins (not as huge as HYD but still!), double A-side and 3 editions! It better break the 400k! 8DDD


Btw, it is confirmed that Nino's appearing in a autumn drama, Ryuusei no Kizuna, with Ryo Nishikido and Erika Toda ^^

waaaaaaa!!!! Ninooooo!! OMG!!! im totally gonna watch this one!! :muack:

hmm.. what do you guys think.. can they handle another single release?
I bet they can but since I think they need a rest, there's no pressure for them to have another drama theme song. I would love a non JE theme for a drama like that... maybe an insert song by Kanjani8. However, I don't think its wise to have Nino/Ryo paired up ala Shuji/Akira... I don't think my ears can handle it :sweat:

Hopefully its true and not remain as just a rumor.

hehehe.. Nino/Ryo pair?? just thinking about it gives me a shrug on the shoulders..i don't think their voices would blend.. :beaten: :sweat:
having another single release for a drama theme song would be great too!! wow, Arashi's totally fired up for this year, hopefully they'd be given some breaks once in a while.. :sweat:

@suzzy
both have nassal voices :beaten:
Nino's voice is marvelous but that depends on the song and his voice control. He screws up a lot in lives :sweat:. He also harmonizes pretty well in Arashi.
Ryo... his voice was once so brilliant but puberty made it nassal and strained :beaten: but he sometimes do sounds good.
but combining both? ermmm.. :sweat:

Haha I wouldn't want a Nino-Ryo partnership a-la Shuji/Akira...Both wont' sound compatible with each other, not to mention how both are not even the best singers in their respective group. :mrgreen:

The mystery novel "Ryusei no Kizuna," written by popular author Keigo Higashino, is being turned into a television drama series this fall. The show will star Kazunari Ninomiya, Ryo Nishikido, and Erika Toda, with Kankuro Kudo penning the script.

Ninomiya, Nishikido, and Toda play three siblings whose parents were murdered when they were children. After being deceived later on in life, they bonded together as a team of swindlers, stealing money from the rich. One day, they find a man whom they believe is their parents' killer, and they start planning to take their revenge.

Ninomiya is taking the lead as the oldest sibling, Koichi. Nishikido plays the younger brother Taisuke, while Toda plays the sister Shizuna. Tomokazu Miura has also been announced as a cast member.

TBS will air the drama on Friday nights at 10:00pm, starting in October.

@theempress, is your avatar L?

yup! that sure is L. :mrgreen:

I like "Truth" LE, too. I like the sound of "truth". The first time I've heard it made me doubt that it wouldn't fit Maou, but it proved me wrong. The first time I've seen Maou's opening, it amazed me and made me love it. It fits Maou perfectly. Though I'm not sure about the lines - "I take your life forever, You take my life forever" Sounds like they're gonna kill each other. :hehe:
