Tobacco consumption in Japan (30.3%) is 4th highest of OECD countries after the Netherlands, Turkey, and South Korea. Kinda puts the whole thing about our boys smoking thing in perspective.
Sorry again.
[/off topic]
And now back to our regular broadcast.
Sorry but I also off topic for a while..
Japan is 6th in Life expectancy at birth and to my surprise Singapore is rank 4th in front of Japan.. and I didn't even know that... but I don't see any elderly more than 100yrs old around here. But in Japan there seems to have plenty... weird.

Sorry but I had to disagree with both of you. Actually I at first know nothing abt arashi and didn't even know that they are in Johnny just know that there is a grp with one kanji word as the grp name and when pple tell me abt Arashi I only remember there is one guy with quite a big face but small mouth. That is Ohno kun.. And now I introduce Arashi to a friend of mine who know nothing abt Arashi and I show her the photo of them and ask if she got any impression. She know Matsujun as there are dramas of him airing on TV here and the next person she has impression is Ohno. She remembered seeing him before in MS. See... actually Ohno leaves deep impression.. But I agree with you on the part for Nino. I used to dislike him and think that he is sort of "extra" in Arashi at first. But no longer now of cos in fact I really like him and love his drama and singing.
..........i mean not as in face, but publicity and how MANY ppl actually know them.
like, i this its hard to explain & understand for u guys, but when normal (as in non-johnny fan, not interested) ppl in japan hear
"do you know arashi?"
most ppl will sorta know jun from the drama, same with nino, aiba maybe from the shimura doubutsuen but less publicity then them, and i think most ppl will refer to sho as the "guy who went to keio", and o-chan is just........they either dunt know him, or they'll be like..
"and the other guy lol"
its really hard to explain and i dunt mind if u guys dunt understand it, but IN JAPAN, its like that.
ive heard a lot of ppl say "ohno~ who is that, i like kame and jin in johnnys"
reality is harsh ! lol
Alright, it was quicker than I thought. Here's the link for the Wish regular edition secret talk: http://z05.zupload.com/download.php?file=getfile&filepath=3020
Like I said earlier, was ganked from a friendly fan who bought a regular edition instead of the limited, like the rest of us.

thanks everyone for the links!
haha..thanks saorilisa321 for posting the photos! they're funny! which D no Arashi episode are they from ?? ohnoxnino are so cute!
is sho supposed to be christopher robin from winnie the pooh?? or maybe that's just my own weird imagination..haha
the perf on NTV Best Artists 2005 is also available on jpopsuki for those who like BT. i also haven't found last saturday's mago mago ep either, i'll keep looking! There is also a batch of files on jpopsuki that has all the perfs for pikanchi double on various music shows. credit goes to hikaru sakurai for u/l to jpopsuki.
off topic: just a bit on the smoking stuff again as some of us are interested in the subject...i agree, it's hard to regulate cigarettes sales in japan. my friend who has visited japan b4 showed me photos that he took of those vending machines selling cigs. what's funny is that there are signs showing that u have to be over 19 (i think) in order to buy. but, if it's a vending machine, how can u ensure that? both my friend and i were wondering...anyway, maybe they can consider increasing prices or promote harm-reduction strategies like what we're doing here where i am from.

whoa, they can sell cigarettes in VENDING machines?! no wonder everybody smokes!!! gosh they should think about the health of their people!! tho i guess their food is prolly healthier than american food... but that doesnt mean that its ok for everybody to smoke... grrr.

a lil info to share:
Arashi's boat race will be on 5th dec 2005, next monday!!
location should be in saitama.
for those who are in japan, do share with us if you get to be there, cuz i believe non-fc members can get in too. as overseas fans, though we can't be there... lets all pray hard for our boys! they've trained so hard and went thru so much...
they are already winners in my eyes. ganbatte kudasai! arashi no minnasan!
i was completely tortured when i couldn't access the i net for nearly A WEEK! and it started on SATOSHI-kun's birthday~
well, i can still wish him belated otanjoubi omedetou ne?
OTANJOUBI OMEDETOU~ OHNO SATOSHI
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ~ SATOSHI OHNO
SELAMAT HARI JADI ~ CAYANG

Yes, their boat race, I know our boys will put in their full effort.... And I really hope above all, they have FUN..... Like Aiba says, he want to have fun and not just row...
I hope they will do a mago mago special on the boat race... even if they lost.... for all those who have been following the past few mago magos!!
BTW, minna - I have been looking for Nino's radio show on Oct 30th. Have tried downloading numberous times from some clubbox, tried mega download from clubhouse arashi and failed every time... just dun know why its not working for me..
Any one can upload it to yousendit? domo!
