On the 24th, Sakurai Sho (23) of a popular group, Arashi will be starring, by himself, for the first time as Takemoto Yuuta (Sakurai), a poor art college student sharing an apartment complex with other equally poor students, Mayama Takumi and Morita Shinobu. Because of their poverty, the guys often find it hard to get a decent meal on a day to day basis. Silver-haired Takemoto Yuuta is the youngest of the three characters who live in the apartment building. As a second year architecture student, he finally feels that he's settling into college life, but as his older friends near graduation, he finds himself worrying about what he wants to do or work as after college. Also a youth love story about unrequited love....

Somehow, I had Ohno in mind whenever I see anything involving art.

O NO ARASHI!

Yeah and LOL at your signature pic..that was such a funny episode, and from my experience, they lie, they usually speak at least some English...but I'm pretty sure Ohno wasn't lying :rofl:

@nayami - ahhh i love your avatar!!! AIBA CHAN!!! tee hee hee YAY :victory:

interesting topic!

my first impressions: just from some closeup pics, and know they are a band:

Jun: HOT from Gokusen of course. matured, mysterious, serious.
Nino: handsome face
Sho: plain. can't tell him apart from Aiba
Aiba: plain. can't tell him apart from Sho
Ohno: geez... no comments...

Now:

Jun: What a goof! Kawaii, awkward, sexy, vulnerably unconfident at times, beautiful, utterly imperfect but loveable. love his wide smile and laugh more than his coolness. the most complex guy in the bunch.

Nino: er... plain looking (but looking nicer nowadays honto!) but he's got the most character of the bunch. love his talent on song writing, don't like his voice though... everytime he throws a tantrum just wanna hug him coz he's actually a very frustrated guy... poor thing...

Sho: sexiest guy of the lot. better looking w/o the curly hair i think. but still kakkoi. smart, patient, respectable, but his character is the plainest of the lot.

Aiba: literally brainless and still plain looking. but the sportiest one and the best show host of them all.

Ohno: his looks are not his greatest asset but he's got too much talent to make up for that. talented singer and cartoonist. love his spaced out moments and suddenly coming back to earth and saying 'umai'! great dancer. great guy! thumbs up for him!

[Sorry if I'm backtracking and I'm off the current topic, but I just have to comment:]

OMG, Sho's going to be in the Honey and Clover movie???
(lol, omg, I didn't even know there was going to be a Honey and Clover movie!)

As an anime fan first (ARASHI fan a very close second ^^'), I just have to say this:
I have a feeling that there might be a flood of Sho fans (depending on Sho's perf :beaten:) in here. Like how many people come to know different anime, then go and see live-action doramas of their favorite series, and then get to know the actors (ie. Kimi wa Petto + Gokusen = Jun). Many of us have already followed that path here, gotten to know ARASHI, and now we love all our Stormy Boys.

I would think that the ARASHI fanbase can only grow from this announcement.
It will be very exciting to see if my prediction comes true... :thumbsup:

***

On a more depressing note....
I have now been banned (by my sister :grumble:) from uploading anything.

This is due to the fact that both my laptop and the PC we share have been continually failing to properly start up. 1/10 times the PC will shut down before reaching the desktop, and my laptop now only works in "Safe Mode". I told her that uploading shouldn't have been causing these problems, but she says that these problems started when I started uploading things. :tired:
[she didn't say anything about downloads for myself, but there's really no point for me to watch anything since my laptop can't play videos in "Safe Mode" and my pc has no sound :shamefulcry:]

If anyone can prove her wrong, please PM me! Until then, I can only repost the MegaUpload links that appear here at JATMUL and continue to archive moments and post in discussions.
Now I feel I won't have very much to offer back to this totemo subarashiki thread. :ashamed: Gomen ne! :say_sorry:

So I will be sending in my final MegaUploads that I have been saving for onigeek-sama at CLUBHOUSE ARASHI tonight. They include:

- USG in Australia
- V no Arashi
- PPOI (1+3: Incomplete)
- Mago Mago no Arashi (2005.05.07)
- MS: Talk + Medley + Sakura Sake (2005.4.1)
- Tensai! Shimura Doubutsu (2005.08.04: Aiba & Hana-chan the Seal pt2)
- A majority of the ONE concert tour fancam
- Making of ONE DVD (.RAR file parts 1+2/14, 5-8/14, some select videos: Incomplete)
- Random Clips

If you want these files, please be patient and check for updates at the website, ne? There are just too many links to post here. :sweat:
JATMUL has also been receiving new uploads from Deragoth, so please continue to visit! :wave:
And please submit your own links as well, so that we can keep "building" our library!

*gasp* i'm so excited about this!! i love sho... and as a poor art student?? hehehee. it sounds interesting. i think i might have read a bit of this manga, not sure. and it's about unrequited love?? how can anyone not fall for him?!?!

haven't posted in a while... :shamefulcry: network's fault!!

SUGOI!!!!!!!!!! honey and clover!!! starring Sakurai Sho!!! is it a dorama or just a movie?!?! waaaaa.. can't wait for it...

i currently like Aiba... with his baka-ness... though i did "fall" for Ju as sawada shin!! :bonk:

and is it just me or does Sho look a bit like Johnny Depp? i saw a clip from Iza Now Tour, something from backstage i think... he was wearing a hat and glasses... sooooo gorgeous!!!!!!!! not a big Johnny Depp fan.. but a big Sho fan!! :woot: :woot:

sorry for double post!! i meant JUN not ju! gomen!!

AHH!! I just heard about that Hachimitsu and Clover thing too!! I can't wait for Sho to do his first individual movie :dancing: Seems like the director thought Sho was the perfect one because he looked naive and troubled just like the boy, and the looks were similar. I want to really see this!

it's a movie and i can't wait!! yesss.

and sho looks like johnny depp?? humm. i personally don't think so, but ok?? they're both so sexy in their own ways. i love johnny depp. amazing actor, and still so sexy at 30?? 40?? i can't remember his age. but goregous either way!

a honey and clover movie...*twitch twitch* god...


i'll join in the fun for the moment....i remember clearly what i thought the first time i saw a group picture of Arashi...this was before i had heard any of their songs except Jidai...before i had seen any performances or anything

Jun: "holy cow! its kindaichi! he sings???"
Ohno: "What a cutie! Is he the youngest one?"
Sho: "eh...he needs a haircut"
Aiba: "fluffy hair!"
Nino: "that guy looks evil"

it changed slightly after i heard more songs and saw a performance or two...

Jun: "wow! he sings better than some actors do!"
Ohno: "damn. that boy can SING!"
Sho: "damn...that boy can't sing...."
Aiba: "eh..."
Nino: "someone save that poor frog he swallowed"

no need to say what i think now...i think my current preferences are rather well-known....

Oh gosh I haven't posted here in quite awhile >____< Missed some topics and discussions, bit I'm here now ^^ Maybe if I get some time later, I could try to sneak on irc **on brother's computer.

Anyways, ohhh first impressions, interesting topic! I was another one who couldn't distinguish Aiba and Sho in the beginning, kept getting the two mixed up.

My first impressions and how i see each member when i first got to know them*don't flame me for this--

Ohno - the one with the nice blonde-ish hair and excellent vocals
Sho - most macho and the one who raps
Aiba - hyper, loud, and the talkative one in the shows. *laughs*
Nino - the short innocent one with the "EH!?" from Stand UP!!
Jun - Sawada Shin, the suave and reserved one who rarely talks

And now...months after listening and being a fan of Arashi, some of my first impressions of them are totally wrong. Like Nino being innocent, that would be a definite no. He is EVIL but I love Ni no Arashi XD

BTW, I saw the latest D no Arashi and the cotton candy segment of A no Arashi was quite amusing XD Nino seemed disappointed when he got 1 Aibachi. And I don't think Aiba's points matter to the show, he just gets points for A no Arashi haha

i dont know what year was it, but my first impression of arashi happens also to be their performance of Jidai on Popjam hosted by Koichi, dunno much about them nor what drama they have been :
impression no. 1 " Arent those kids supposed to be on the other show (shounen club) not this one? coz they look like those skinny kids on the s/c . (my rightful guess, they are also from johnny's)" :mrgreen:
impression no. 2 : " they dont sing that well, maybe thats the reason i never pay attention to them back then. (even when i try to rewatch the show again on my vhs, ohno is kinda out of tune maybe coz it is live)"
impression no. 3 " they dance better than winds who were also performs around that time".

now everything changed after i saw them perform hero on the countdown, that reminds me, hey matsujun is from arashi, why did i forgot that :sweat:

blame that to okada of v6 who is too stingy to give them more points. think nino didnt expect that he'll just be getting only 1.

hmm m y first impression of arashi? well besides jun the first time i saw arashi was in pictures

jun: from seeing him in gokusen; OMG A REAL LIVE BISHOUNEN!

ohno: omg his eyebrows are so.....................

sho: he has a mushroom head

nino: eh

aiba: eh

nino and aiba didn't really leave an impression on me in t he beginning

now

jun: still a bishie

ohno: so talented and baka

aiba: what a baka and genki guy

sho: boring but has his moments

nino: so mischievious! he's fun!

but...that wasn't the guy from V6....they said his name was Matsuda Okada...unless there is more than one okada in V6 than i know of...which is likely because i run screaming from most V6 stuff

:

It's a movie, it starts filming next month on the 24th, and will be released to theaters around summer of next year!

ŸNˆäãÄ‚ª”ü‘吶‚É‚È‚éI‰‚̉f‰æ’P“Ǝ剉
Sakurai Sho becomes a college student in his first independantly starring movie!

It is understood that on the 24th, Sakurai (23) of the popular group, Arashi, will be starring in the movie for the first time alone. It is based on cartoonist Chika Umino's popular comic"Honey and clover", having the same name as the original, about five men and women's love stories of youth that develop at a college. All five people dealing with the circumstances of unrequited love, and Sakurai performs as college student, Takemoto Yuuta, who has an awkward social position. The producer explains his appointment of Sho by saying that "The character is naive and worries, and even looks like him". Even Sakurai is enthusiastic, "We thought that we can create a work where the spirit and pain of gentle love in youth is experienced". Aoi Yuu (20), Iseya Yusuke (29) Kase Ryo (30), and Seki Megumi (19) are to unfold the love pattern with Sakurai. CM director Masahiro Takada (41) picks up the megaphone for the first time. It seems like it will become a refreshing romance movie by a fresh personnel. Opening to the public scheduled for next summer.
