I'm tired of my ringtones. They're stupid and boring and old and all that other kind of poop. People with the same company has them. && If I want to buy ringtones on my phone I'd have to buy them before listening to them and I don't want to take the chance. I was wondering if you guys can post or tell me where to find arashi ringtones/midis. I found a lot of ARASHI and SUNRISE NIPPON but I'm not looking for those because I found a lot already. I couldn't find anything else. I've already been to Japankiku, ktzone and they don't have a lot of the up to date or nice ones. Can someone, anyone help, please??? :puppydog:

is it? we'll see. remember it's only been a week since Truth's release while One Love has been charting since 6/25.

Hopefully both singles break the 500K mark :D

LOL :hehe:
You don't like "truth" much? I think based on the numbers and timeline "truth" sales is actually stronger...
I'm happy with "truth" initial sales and One love overall sales :mrgreen:. Its the year of ARASHI!
Southern All Star doing great too for a single that's just out (right before "truth" ??) but with lower first day sales than "truth" or "One Love". It might have the chance to sell more because they are THE Southern All Stars.

hehe :mrgreen: I'm not say I don't like "truth", I love every single by Arashi, except S&G :hehe: but between One Love and "truth", I will choose One Love definitely, even "truth" is much more powerful because of Maou

One Love is ok but I got bored of it quite fast. I've been replaying "truth" a whole lot and just can't stop :rolly: . The edginess is refreshing. One Love is more Arashi-poi though which was quite predictable (aka: boring :beaten:).

I wish my favourite single Kitou Daijoubu had excellent sales but Arashi was not that popular back then. Great enough that Hirai Ken and Wentz (WaT) were obsessed about it to have mentioned it randomly :hehe:

LoL :hehe: :hehe: actually, I wish to see Arashi sing a song similar with Wish. I love that single very much, and I think that is the song of them. One Love quite ok, "truth" is also okey, but I don't think this two singles can be as good as Wish..Kitou Daijoubu is also a good one, but just like you said before, Arashi back then is not Arashi nowadays. If Kitou Daijoubu release right now, in 2007, I think this single can beat "truth" or One Love, maybe :hehe: [/b]

the HYD songs are quite cheesy really but I love "Love So Sweet" the most (One Love cake scares me ^^;;;; the dance was full of cheese too). Actually the diverseness in Arashi music is the thing that kept me interested in them. When they started to release a string of similar sounding happy-happy singles I got turned off a bit [its HYD fault ^^;;;]. Weirdly enough KD is a typical Arashi-poi kind of song but I love it the most :bonk:.
Listening to their old albums, I do miss the edgier Arashi back then. They've gone a bit too mellow. Thank god for "truth". More rock and experimental hip-pop Arashi minna-san~
26 Aug 2008, 14:44 #25335
nah...Love so Sweet for is not sweet enough for me :hehe: :hehe: Love so Sweet and Happiness, of course Happiness is my choice~Still and Snowflake is such a good song, plus Happiness and I think this is one of the best single of Arashi in 2007.

Talking about Arashi back then, emm..I also miss the old Arashi. I don't know why..but yes, Arashi back then is so adorable and entertaining than they are right now~ :sweat:
26 Aug 2008, 15:53 #25336
Happiness was really good! The whole package was marvelous with that adorable PV, dance, and the best single cover imo. The green themed and smiling beautiful boys was lovely! If only they released it with the PV, it might made a better sales.

errr... you were talking about Arashi back then when exactly? :sweat:
like last year? :hehe:
they are quite worn off this year because of the work load. its very obvious in their shows this year, there's a lack of something in their varieties. I guess the stress of being the current top artist is getting to them. hopefully they can pull through. GANBATTE ARASHI!!!

The Arashi waaaaaayyy back in the old days I was referring to was in the 2002-2003 (early 2004) era, the days their music was edgier. They were not as amusing as they are now imo. Sho was badass (HE'S SO MUCH ADORABLE NOW :smitten:), Jun still struggling to grow up, Aiba hasn't learn to talk to animals.. only Nino & Ohno stayed constantly adorable throughout the years.

Are you having an Arashi burn-out phase? :hehe:
26 Aug 2008, 16:11 #25337
not yet :hehe: :hehe: I also refer to their 2003 era, but I started to know about Arashi in 2006. Too late isn't it? I'm not huge fan of Arashi (you can see on my sig :hehe: ) but I like them as a Johnnys in golden era of 2003-2004~they can bring themselves very well in this entertainment world, respect their senpais and very talented~

Ohno is the person that makes me like Arashi :hehe: :hehe:
26 Aug 2008, 16:38 #25338
LOL. We have totally opposite perspective on Arashi then. :hehe:
I only came to know them during Kittou Daijoubu which was around 2006 too and it all started because of knowing some Japanese idol going to star in an Eastwood movie. Watched Stand Up! Love Kotabayori no Taisetsuna Mono> got interested in Nino>the rest is history :mrgreen:.
What (clip?show?) do you find them to be the most adorable during the golden era of 2003 compared to now? I might have missed a show or something :bonk: All I can find in my collection during your Arashi golden era was the beginning of D no Arashi late 2003. There were other more by them before that? Nama Arashi? I haven't watched much on that.. from the clips at youtube, it doesn't look as interesting. I would love to know what I've been missing.
I know Sho looks much more hotter in 2003 than now because of Bambii (but he is such a cute chipmunk now :smitten:)

HAHA! I'm sorry. I know you weren't talking to me and I'm not answering your question but I just found it really funny. Sho really does look like a chipmunk. He's so adorable! I love this face!

Here's a comparison. I was watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and loved the animals. I DEFINATELY loved the little chipmunks because they were cute and reminded me of Sho.
