:hehe: true. there is the foreign quota needs to be filled for kohaku right? :beaten:
since JE have their own quota (geee NHK :grumble:) its ok the boys not in it for that one. Kouhaku is kinda epic though. Even I knew about it before learning about Arashi. Kinki Kids & V6 haven't performed in Kouhaku right?

Yeah, even V6 & the ever so successful KinKi Kids have never performed on Kouhaku. Last year, NHK viewers voted Kanjani8 as the act they most wanted to see the most on Kouhaku (due to their enka relation), but even so they never made it there.

can i ask if ARASHI has a tv show or a drama series together?? or anyone of the member of the group is acting now??

Satoshi Ohno tries comedy in next drama series

After starring in the TBS drama series "Maou" last season, Arashi's Satoshi Ohno is back with his second starring TV role. This time, he will lead the TV Asahi comedy series "Uta no Oniisan," which will air on Friday nights at 11:15pm this winter. This is said to be his first comedy role, including his performances in film and theater.

The story revolves around an unconventional children's show called "Minna de Utao!" Ohno plays Kenta, a young musician whose band breaks up and who gets dumped by his girlfriend. To top it off, his own family labels him as useless. Unexpectedly, he becomes an "uta no oniisan," a singing character on the children's show.

The show begins filming on the 18th of this month and premieres on January 16.

Twitch's Yatterman trailer review by Todd Brown: http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/finally-a-decent-trailer-for-miikes-yatterman/
Verdict = Takashi Miike fans loving it. A good sign. How about an Arashi insert song? :mrgreen:

What do you think of Sho's Yatterman? I'm very amused :naughty:

it looks good!! really wanna watch that movie.. :victory:

on the sidenote, im very much happy on the oricon yearly sales ranking!!

taken from tokyograph

Oricon has just released its sales rankings for 2008, and this year the clear winner was EXILE. The group had been aiming to make this their "Perfect Year," and Oricon's numbers now show how well they achieved it. Counting singles, albums, and DVDs, EXILE sold close to 5.2 million copies for a total of 19.58 billion yen. In comparison, Kumi Koda was last year's top artist with only 7.3 billion yen.

However, EXILE had no entries in the Top 10 Singles of the year. Instead, Arashi was the big winner with three of their songs making the list. They took the top two spots with "truth / Kaze no Mukou e" (618,000 copies) and "One Love" (524,000), while "Beautiful days" was #10 (422,000). Arashi is only the 5th artist to have the top two singles in a year, with the last one being Princess Princess in 1989.

* "truth / Kaze no Mukou e," Arashi
* "One Love," Arashi
* "I AM YOUR SINGER," Southern All Stars
* "Kiseki," GReeeeN
* "Shuchishin," Shuchishin
* "HANABI," Mr.Children
* "Soba ni Iru ne," Thelma Aoyama
* "DON'T U EVER STOP," KAT-TUN
* "LIPS," KAT-TUN
* "Beautiful days," Arashi

omedetou Arashi~~~!! :woot: :applaud: :bow:

They have movies called Pikanchi Life is Hard Dakedo Happy and Kiiroi Namida a few years ago..

The latest Arashi members acted up together was in Maou (Nino and Ohno only) but Nino only appear on the first episode for a couple of minutes.

EXILE dominates 2008 sales rankings

hmmm... why did they conveniently didn't mention Arashi alongside EXILE in the headlines?

^ I'd say because EXILE has 3 albums in the TOP10 and 5 in the TOP100, plus they're the artist(s) that have sold the most this year (close to 5.2 million copies for a total of 19.58 billion yen)

Also, Arashi is only the 5th artist to have the top two singles in a year, with the last one being Princess Princess in 1989.

Beautiful Days sales update

Week 04: #15 - 10,693 copies
Week 05: #16 - 7,290 copies

Yes but Oricon themselves didn't forget to highlight Arashi achievement even if it is just for singles sales... They even have this special Arashi comments and stuff ( http://contents.oricon.co.jp/music/special/081211_01_08.html ). As the main source for English language Japanese entertainment source Tokyograph shouldn't be bias imo... and I do like EXILE too..

http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/confidence/61012/full/
according to this (and the translation here), "Adding together the individual sales for each single, they have also topped the ranking for overall singles sales by an artist (25.8 billion yen)"


as for Ohno drama themesong.. maybe they are planning a solo song by Ohno? or a double A-side?

so many good news after another that im still dazed over it.. :hehe: :beaten:
im very happy that Arashi will be releasing another single, had listened to "Believe" preview, yet another catchy song just fitting for the movie!! im still wishing and hoping that they'd get to make the theme song for Oh-chan's drama too..we wished for that previously on Nino's drama, it might happen again.. :hehe: :hehe: :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:
