Would love to know more about the boys when they first started joining Johnny's jr. Like why did they enter, who sent the entry form, do they reallly want to join, etc..
I've browse tru amnos.net but it seems that it doesn't hav much article about the boys :confused: Coz i'v only saw 3 articles (1 by Sho,1 by Jun & 1 about Ohno)Or is it my poor navigating skill???

can sumbody point me to other great ARASHI sites that have good articles translation?

I've read tru a tsubasa fan blog that Sho & tsubasa were very tight before he became best friend with takki.
Takki have mentioned that he seldoms hang out at the boys' house (Nino's???) to compose songs.
I've also heard that takki had done a lot of mini movie with arashi as the actors(sumthing like guinee pigs :hehe: ).Is this true?

About the smoking thing..

I really don't mind if they do smoke,as long as they didn't smoke in front of me coz I can't stand it.
Smoke = humungus headache :sweat:
And If I see them smoking in front of children, I would smack their head then and there. :smack: REALLY!!

Well, the host, "Matthew", invited Aiba to be told his fortune. So there's a fortune teller in that odd "Foutune tour" (??), who will tell about him just judging by his birthdate & co. He notably says "Aiba feels strong drawn towards opposite sex" and he answers "When we (Arashi) are looking girls in magazines, we would show the one who please us the most, and I'm the only one who show a different one"... Matthew asks for Aiba 's type of girl, and the picture which appears on the bottom is the example he gave.
Then, Matthew will show a ranking of the luckiest Arashi Member for 2005... Poor Aiba falls from his chair ^_^ The fortune teller explains more precisly for each member... Jun will be perfect in "private life", "love", "money"; "job" and "health"... Ohno will reap the he has sown thanks to the great job he made in 2004... Nino will be extremly popular among girls... (They react "as usual!").
Then, Matthew shows what would happen when Aiba will turn 22, 27 and 31. 22 is "the end of suffering". From which kind of pain? The Fortune-teller explains that... Aiba's popularity will decrease! (Makes him laugh... ^_^; ) notably cause he would make some disliked works, and to avoid that drop of popularity he should find his subjects by himself... At 27, Aiba would "chose a strange way of life" because he will live together with a... College student fan of him... (Aiba's reaction "that's frightening...") And at 31, "finally"... He would exasperate one of his "sempai" (elder person which is supposed to have a bigger knowledge than your and you're supposed to respect). (Aiba's reaction: "atmosphere became quiete oppressing...") Fortune-teller explains that this person, which is famous, works at the same office than Aiba (->Jhonny's) and the first letter of his name is "N". He finds 4 of them, and Matthew says "don't you think you should apologize from now on?" Aiba: "Yes... Excuse me, 10 years before..." lol


Ummm is it only me, but when i play the video, there's no sound ....

90% of my male colleagues smoke. 1 or 2 of them may quit if their wives get pregnant. all the japanese guys i know smoke. i guess it's like their rite of passage into adulthood or smthing... :hehe:
even i smoke when they smoke - i'm a social smoker.
haha...
just check out the before 2004 countdown concert clip and you can catch actually dohmoto or i can't remember who smoking. i bet yr nerves get get so high strung before facing 20000 screaming fans in a concert that somehow u gotta release some tension. i can't imagine them chewing their nails though. :sweat:

I agree with Battlegirlai. Most smokers I know are very considerate of non-smokers. My dad smokes but not when he's around us and he even goes through the trouble of blowing into an air filter, lol. It saddens me to know that any of Arashi smokes because all I can think about is the health effects of it. We should rally together and petition the Japanese government for change! *shakes her fist in the air*

On to another topic, I love how all members of Arashi are so close. You can just tell by their group dynamics when they're interacting that none of it is fake.

Dachoo:
Un petit peu.
All elementary school students in Canada are required to take French so I've had nine years of lessons. But considering I've been learning it for so many years, I've certainly forgotten a lot of it!

Translation of Sakura Sake

Blooming cherry trees (Arashi)

The tightly grasped hand told me something
If we make a dash for it, we should make it in time
I stood reading a magazine in a convenience store
Bye-Bye to the me of yesterday

The running sound of the city
Sound like a cheer

The cherry trees are blooming in my heart
The nameless sprouting dreams
Don't turn back, because tomorrow is not behind you
Move forward

Someone is singing in front of the station
It was your favorite song
Even if we are far apart, it will not disappear
So it really isn't goodbye

Someday at our favorite place
I want to see you again

*
The cherry trees are blooming in your heart
The small buds waver
So that you wont give up, so that you wont be crushed
I sing
*

The future can change in an instant
I'll change it

"Aim to the left" take the first step
Breaking apart at the point of impact, like the yin and the yang

So I want to know a hint on living
Grasping the life force of a hazy mirage

If you sow the seeds now, flowers will bloom
And after all that you still know..
Yes, it's all a matter of time
In the spring great flowers will bloom

I want to see you again, definately

(Repeat *)

The cherry trees are blooming in my heart
The nameless sprouting dreams
Don't turn back, because tomorrow is not behind you
Forward, forward

battlegirlai, that's why i was so confused and knew something was obviously wrong with my "interpretation" :mrgreen: yes, but to think of it - it really was an incredibly baka idea :bonk: but think about it - most of the people who never leanrt japanese would know the word sake well, and there was me, not even for a moment did it occur to me to check the word in dictionary :mrgreen: ok, you can beat me :beatyou:
