Hikaru You are lucky. Please let us know what the magazine says about them. Which reminds me I was watching msn.com videos online and they showed a clip of Morning Musume. They were on a show, where they were being scared by a lizard or something like that. I was so surprised to see a japanese group on a well known american site. I just have a feeling that one day they're going to show some weird segment from G no Arashi. LOL

I'll go to buy the magazine in a while

Btw, once in a Spanish show they showed images of Shingo Katori from SMAP doing his Shingo Mama dance and singing XDDDDDD I almost had a heart attack! XDDDDD A friend also said that long time ago, in a program like the one where appeared Shingo, also showed images of Ryohei of w-inds. doing something weird, enough weird to be shown in Spain LMAO XDDDDD It's one of those programs that make rankings about silly stuff that appear on Spanish TV, but looks like it also show silly stuff from other countries! XDDDD I'm still waiting for Arashi to appear on that show~ with Aiba's baka experiments and their weird Air Guitar thingy they may appear! Who knows! XDDD

I'm really lucky (I would have been luckier if I could have seen Ryohei on TV though u.u), today I even watch today's G no Arashi through my Japanese friend's webcam! hahahah XDDDDD

EDIT
OMG!! I'M REALLY LUCKY!! I just went the get the mag and there were only 2 left!!! One for me and one for my friend! LMAO XDDDDD
I'm going to translate it~!

I have a file to share! I tried to upload on youtube but they rejected cuz it's too long. Anyway, for those who haven't seen it, here's Jun promoting Tokyo Tower movie on Supli (or Sapuri?) and the other guest star is Higashiyama-san. They both look really good. I was so happy that Higashiyama-san kept praising Jun for his performance in the movie. There was also Jun vs. Higashiyama-san comparison segment. Quite entertaining. Enjoy!

THE SCAN + TRANSLATION!

PLEASE! REMEMBER MY ENGLISH IS LIMITED! XDDD I TRIED MY BEST!

It all began on 1997. By that time, the members of Johnny's JR BOYS were choosen to take part in a musical called Stand by me. Because of this, the boys decided to change their name to MAIN, created by their names' initials: Matsumoto Jun, Aiba Masaki, Ikuta Toma and Ninomiya Kazunari. Two years later, on September 1999, during a trip to Hawaii, the members of MAIN met Sakurai Sho and Ohno Satoshi (Translator note: I believe this didn't happen this way >< Aiba, Jun, Nino, Ohno and Sho went to Hawaii unknowing why and there they were told they were going to debut as Arashi >< correct me if I'm wrong~). These last two singers also were from the same company as MAIN, the Johnny's Jimusho. This way, a new boyband was born - Arashi, Tormenta translated in Spanish (TN: see? La Tormenta's song title comes from here! XDD). Their music genre covers a lot of variety: from Hip Hop to rock without forgiving R&B.
Arashi has released 5 albums so far: Arashi No.1 Ichigou (Arashi wa Arashi wo Yobu), released on 24th January 2001 and where we can found one of their most famous songs, A.Ra.Shi, their first single. On 17th July 2002 was released their second album called Here We Go; then How's It Going in 2003; Iza, Now on 2004; and their last album: One. They've also released a best named 5x5 Best Selection of 2002/2004, where you can find their most popular songs, such as Lucky Man and Kotoba Yori Taisetsu Na Mono, opening theme for the drama Stand Up!. Since not long ago, these 5 boys were promoting Wish, the opening theme for Hana Yori Dango. We still don't know what are they planning to release in a near future, but their hit Sakura Sake augur a possible new album, since this song isn't in any of their previous albums released. Apart from this, Arashi hides more surprises. The already mentioned company Johnny's Jimusho, it's a company that basically searches for new talents, all boys, and teaches them how to dance, sing, act and all what it's necessary to make them idols. From this amazing company we get to know a lot of boyband formed by guys that also appear on commercials and different tv shows. That also happens with Arashi, who have their own radio shows and tv shows such as D No Arashi (TN: now it should be G though XDD) and Mago Mago Arashi.
Some of the singers are also promoted as actors and act in a lot of well-known Japanese dramas; for those who don't know, dramas are series taken and inspired from mangas and novels, but mostly mangas. From Arashi, all the members have appeared in dramas except for Ohno Satoshi, the group's leader, who has only appeared in less famous dramas. The most popular dramas are the Matsumoto Jun ones, such as Gokusen, Kimi Wa Petto and the most recent one Hana Yori Dango (with the manga edited in Spain with the name "No me lo digas con flores" (Don't tell me it with flowers)), with the role of Domyouji Tsukasa. There's also Stand Up, a well-known drama starring Ninomiya Kazunari. As a group, they've appeared in an exclusive movie just for them, Pikanchi, that was such a hit that they also did the sequel, Pikanchi Double. Also, Matsumoto Jun and Sakurai Sho have just signed a new contract to make a new film each one. About their profession of singers, we have to highlight the fact that they visit Hawaii every year as representative due to their help promoting the island's turism, after the New York incident the year before, summer 2000, making themselves the first Japanese boyband that is mentioned as representatives by another government.

Thanks a lot Sassech for this article ^^
