haha! then my mistake :bonk: didnt notice it was matsuda okada, thought it was junichi okada :nut:

does anyone has the MC for 8/24 yoyogi performance? heard the show is a very exciting one... with 5 encore .

Talking about appearance... The first time I saw Arashi I thought:

Sho : "Handsome guy...look so kind"
Ohno : "special face"
Nino : "OMG this guy comes from the sixties!"
Jun : "weird face...hu...not my type at all"
Aiba : "I can't remember that guy's face...like it's just a... drafted(?) face"

How I see them now...

Sho : "His head is quiete triangular, but he's handsome!"
Ohno : "Ahhhhh such a delicate beauty! The perfect handsomeness! ... :blahblah: :blahblah: ..."
Nino : "Really, this guy escaped from the sixties! ...Must be his haircut...Otherway, he's not really "handsome" to me but I really don't care... somehow I never think about his look! Nino=Nino, that's all."
Jun : "hum...he put some weight, so now, I'm not affraid of him anymore...He can even look cute with his new haircut"
Aiba : "He's beautiful, has nice eyes...How to say...Wild beauty?"

Wow that new movie starring Sho...The story sounds new and nice to me, I can't wait to watch it!

Yuna: I´m seeding pikanchi in jpopsuki ^^ , I didn´t see any peer in pikanchi double, do u want it too or only pikanchi?

about the sigs.. sorry if the mine was very big or heavy, I´ve already changed it, I´ll try to make the signatures more little.
I think that it happened me the same, that I couldn´t load the forum, or another web, it wouldn´t like me ><

and about my 1st impressions :

Jun: a rare boy with a rare hair style
Nino: the boy with mafioso´s loock
Ohno: the silent boy
Sho: the cute-smile boy
Aiba: the funny and childlike boy ^^

and now I think that is more or less the same xD
Jun: a rare boy, with allwasy rare hair style
Nino: I think that he is a bit crazy, sometimes very happy, sometimes so cold, and I don´t like his jokes (follows having a mafioso´s loock xDD )
Ohno: he gives me pity , he is so good and support all the jokes that others make him, really nice boy n_n
Sho: still the boy with cute-smile who makes me laught sometimes, and says interesting things, nice too ^^
Aiba-chan: really the funny and childlike boy xD with he I´m never bored n_n

ainangst - your welcome and thanx for the nice comments

Yeah, we do talk badly about them at times huh?! It's all in fun, but I'll try to keep my picking on Jun out of the thread no seriously I have nothing against him, just like making fun of the boy every raves about, I promise to Aiba and hope to die and live in a world without cookies!!!

Chi chi..chi chi no chichi! I'm starting day 2 with no sleep and loads of soda! WOOT!

i downloaded tokyo tower (thank you arwenna!) but the subs refuse to download for some reason, so I'm very sad.

:puppydog: :puppydog: :puppydog: :puppydog: :puppydog: :puppydog: :puppydog: :puppydog: :puppydog: :puppydog:

:bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

i'd go searching on the net for subs, but i read back in this thread that the other sub file floating around won't work with this version so... i don't know what to do :shamefulcry:

When I first saw Arashi...

I had no idea who is who. Only that I think they look funky with the vests in the MS performance of "a Day in Our Life" and the song seems out of tune, what with the rapping and singing going on together. But I still went to search for the song because it's different. I guess Ohno's voice really stuck out for me, just that I had no idea WHO sang what, with all the dancing and spinning around.

Now, I can tell the difference and it's these different personalities and abilities that make me like them not only as a group but also as individuals.

It's been a while since I've posted (and I haven't posted that much to begin with) *waves hello*

Sho in a movie based on a shoujo manga? Waa! I'm so excited, can't wait to see it. (I hope he'll need to get a haircut for it..not a fan of the curly action he's got goin on)

shortmei wrote: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 wouldn't be surprised at all if the staff fixes it so Aiba is somehow the first to 10 badges and wins. I bet the reaction from the other boys would be priceless.


This first impressions of Arashi discussion is fun. Here's mine:

The boys I knew from dramas before I knew about the group:
Nino: At first I thought he was pretty plain, then a few episodes into Stand Up it hit me - "he's freakin' ADORABLE! Like a puppy."
Jun: He's not ugly, but...not my type

And after learning of the group, the others based on photos, and the Lucky Man PV:
Ohno: Poor guy...He does NOT photograph well.
Sho: Hot and mature looking...and so I assumed he was Leader. (was a bit shocked to find out it was Ohno)
Aiba: This guy always has the best hair! He's pretty...like a girl. Also, his speaking voice sounded funny to me the first time I heard it.

And now that I've known them for quite a while...
Nino: He's still cute to me, but more than that I love his personality and sense of humour. I think it's adorable how he loves video games. I do kinda wish he'd stop singing on MagoMago, but I appreciate his musical talents.
Jun: I'm not a fan of his looks (although he looks so much better after his haircut) but he really photographs well. There are some pics that make even me say 'Woah, this boy is BEAUTIFUL' I don't like his singing much and his butt shakin wiggle dancing makes me laugh. I'm mostly a fan of his acting. One thing I like about Jun is it's easy to see how much he values being in the group with the effort he puts into planning and coming up with new ideas.
Ohno: I no longer think he's ugly but sooo cute! That's how it goes - when you're won over by a guy's personality you can't help but find him good looking. His funnyness/weirdness is what won me over. 'Umai!' does it for me everytime. Love his smile. He's slowly moved up the ranks to become my favourite member.
Sho: He's still 'the hot one' to me. I like him best when he's MC-ing or just talking normally, not in performance mode. My impression of him is that he's a little unsure of himself, still trying to figure out who he is within the group. I love how he's [often off-camera] always laughing his butt off over the other boys' antics.
Aiba: I'm loving Aiba more and more these days. He's just so bouncy and genki with a sweet personality. I can't help but laugh when he laughs. I love watching him get beat up by animals on Shimura Zoo. He brings great energy to the group.

Kay, sorry, this was a bit long. :sweat:
Guess I've made up for not posting in a while. ^_^

Hey you asked about the D no Arashi episode where I got my ava from, it's 25.02.2004 one.

Yuna, You don't need that last 0.01%. That last bit is only part of a jpeg file which shows the perf in the concert. The movie file should have been completely DL. Try playing the movie file (i think it was .dat) and the concert should play with no problem.
And no, your sig is quite acceptable

Yeah, we do talk badly about them at times huh?! Tis a shame, I'll try to keep my Jun bashing out of the thread no seriously I have nothing against him, just like making fun of the boy every raves about, I promise to Aiba and hope to die and live in a world without cookies!!!

Chi chi..chi chi no chichi! I'm starting day 2 with no sleep and loads of soda! WOOT!

For me u have to take good with the bad...I myself know Sho's not perfect (even commented on that) Every member hav their weaknesses which is one of the reason why we love them. I love Ohno blurrness and lolipop head, Aiba being baka, Jun's awkwardness, Nino's donald duck voice (and a cute donald duck behind when performing himitsu :smitten: ), and Sho's calm demeanor = BORRING!!!.


Don't mind the the "bashing" but please don't go overboard...If you are bashing for the sake of fun (whichImyselfhavedone :bonk: ) please use the emoticons or create the sentence TO BE FUN...
Be cute people! :victory: be genki :yippee: be crazy :nut: .Don't be rude.



The beauty of interacting tru the internet is you have the time and tools to evaluate what u r trying to convey with the respect of others.

Just my 2 sen malaysia

heyya!!! i REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY searching for sho sakurai video where 100 womans watch him as hi is being questioned about ideal girlfriends...i have the video actually but it stucks so many time that makes me feel so irritating and end up,i can understand nothing!!! please someone who has this file ...

ok, first off my first impressions on the Arashi guys:

Jun - beautiful and expressive eyes, good acting skills
Nino - what a dork! (based on stand up!)
Aiba - too hyper
Sho - smart and boring
Ohno - silly

now, my impressions have changed all for the better once i started watching their variety shows and concerts.. i'll leave off commenting on that.

next - yuna your current siggy is fine, it was those huge images that is the cause of lagging and bandwidth chewing on websites. and it's not targeted at u, it was a general comment. i love seeing all the siggies and avatars that board members have, it's an expression of your interest, just make it smaller so that it does not hog the entire page. u're all a bunch of talented people and have god-given senses, use them wisely.

yamete-evie, i'll re-upload the srt files to clubbox, it might have expired when u're trying to d/l it. love your new siggy, anything with jun on it is a pleasure to watch.

as for Sho acting in Honey and Clover, i would like to see an improvement on his acting skills. i'll look forward to it next summer. hmm if we all go to their summer concert next year, we might even get to watch the movie when it's released then... just a thought

dunadan - y can't i see your siggy? it's just a black box to me

hola minna~ *I'm in high spirits again...^^*
I decided to make some time for subbing all the vids I have translations for, but before that

isn't he cute? go masaki go!! shake your hips! YAY .... oh hehe, I'm still posting.. :sweat: *blush*, I tried to edit it so that he shakes with the rythem of the song but he is still slightly to quick for the song and I realized that inet explorer and opera show the gif with a differnt speed *with my inet explorer he shakes like there is no tomorrow <- masaki quote taken from the izaa now talk* :love_eyes: :love_eyes:
thnx for the info on sho's movie, I've read some chapters of the manga and so i kinda know what type of guy he will play ... just realized that I've read the Gokusen, KwP and Honey & Clower manga before watchiong the doramas...I used to be such a manga junky *g*, just like masaki-chan!

@dunadan: can't view your sig, just black screen!

@arwenna: Just watched TT and WOW :wow: ... have to move to the Jun thread so I don't spoil anything for those who haven't watched it yet! :say_cool: such a great acting of Jun!

Ohno: Ah, he is such a mummy's boy!
Nino: OMG, I lurve his eyes!
Sho: Looks + Brains + Muscles = Delicious!

Now:
Jun: Sexy!
Aiba: haha.. baka, what can I say?
Ohno: leader oh leader, you are such a darling
Nino: I collect ALL his pics, solos, dramas... everything about him... so do i need to explain?
Sho: Still Looks + Brains + Muscles = Still Delicious!

:mrgreen:

Gomen.... second post in a row....I juz did a little translation on AIUEO20050822 on Arashi interview. It's a rush job so I hope u dun mind some of them not fully explained.

Translation for AIUEO 20050822

Topic: How the album title ONE comes about

Sho: Jun is the best person to answer this qn becos he is the one who came up with the name.

Jun: This album is special because there is a solo for each of us in the album for the first time. I wanted to find a simple title that everyone understands right away, something that represents us right now, in the summer. Hence, the title ONE came about.

The rest: Amazing!

Jun: Therefore, the emphasis of this album is our solo performance for the very first time. Each solo reflects each of our different characters and you can tell it by listening to this album. So, I hope all of you will listen to the solos.

Ohno: You must listen!

Topic: Will each member talk about his solo?

Ohno: My solofs title is RAINc about its stylec.I reckon itfs a wild song.

Ohno: I am challenging myself.

Sho: What made you decide to sing such a song?

Ohno: I choose this song for the sake of the concert. I wish to dance a little. Hence, I chose a song that allows me to dance.

Sho: Do you usually listen to songs like your solo?

Ohno: My mum does.

Sho: So your mum will love this song. So you are singing this song for the sake of your parents?

Ohno: Indeedc yes, for filial pietyc.

Sho: How touching! How about you, Aiba?

Aiba: My song is Itsuka no Summer. It is a very chirpy song. I sing it in a lighthearted tone, thinking of the rhythm of sea waves.

Sho: The lyrics of this song suits Aiba perfectly. Did you have any special requests for the lyrics?

Aiba: I want it to be positive.

Sho: I see.

Aiba: Today is todayc Whatfs the next line?

Jun: Isnft it your solo?

Aiba: Oh yes!

Aiba: Time can never be turned back. Enjoy todayfs happiness. This is a song that urges everyone to enjoy the moment. I hope all of you like it.

Jun: My solo is W/Me. Rather than singing those dance tunes that are popular nowadays, I thought it may be more interesting if my solo has that 80s beat.

Sho: There is more to it, isnft it?

Jun: Yes, like harmony and special effects that are subtle. Then we hand them to our music arranger to arrange it according to his preference. And the song is born.

What a load of explanation!

The rest: Yes!

Sho: This is a weird group! Next!

Nino: Me! My song is called Secret

Sho: What kind of song is it?

Nino: Thatfs a secret

Sho/Aiba: Can you reveal a little? Just a little doesnft hurt.

Nino: Noc. I canft! It is really a secret!

Aiba: So itfs a secret? Tell us the title of the song.

Nino: It is called Secret

Sho: Content?

Nino: Secret

Sho: In that case, next! (asking nino) are you sure about this? All right, itfs my turn now.
How should I put itc I sing as well as rap.

ccc.

Sho: I think it is quite a cute song. Do listen to it!

Ohno: Here we go!

Sho: Whatfs the use? We canft play it now anyway!

Topic: About 2005 ONE Summer Tour

Jun: It is in coherence with our album. ONE can mean each of our Solo, it can also mean Arashi as One. The more it represents the togetherness of everyone during the concert.

I believe in this concert, everyone can feel the different meaning of what ONE represents. This is also the main draw of our concert.

Aiba: Well-said!

Sho: How is your solo performance in the concert going to be like?

Ohno: I will reveal everything to everyone

Sho: So that means the audience can see everything of Ohno?

Aiba: How much is it worth?

Sho: 2 points

Aiba: Yes.

Sho: He is badly hit.

Ohno: I will buck up!

Topic: Message for Arashi Asian Fans

Sho: We are really touched that we are known outside Japan as well.

Jun: Just like Backstreet Boys

Sho: Okay!

Ohno: Tell me why~

Sho: There is no need to sing it out!

Sho: Anyway, we are really touched that all of you are willing to listen to our album, even come specially to watch our concert. Words cannot express how touch we are.

Nino: Thank you, everyone!

Jun: Love conquers the world!

Nino: How touching!

Sho: We are indeed a cohesive group! We hope everyone can listen to our album and bring us to other parts of the world!

Everyone: So long that someone is willing to bring us there!

Please invite us over! Really! We really love to go!

Sho: If we are invited to go over, we should be able to be there.

Please support Arashi! Thank you!
