I have some time now so I should be more active in posting, plus there is so much going on with Arashi now, if I don't update I might as well just close this. (=
In case you didn't know, here is a quick run-down on what has been happening with them recently that I hadn't reported on here:
- Riida made an amazing achievement! He was the first and only Johnny's to have his own art exhibit. He has been working on many pieces throughout past ten years or so, even while he's been so busy with Arashi activities, but they collected his pieces and held a massively popular exhibit entitled "Freestyle." I will put up some samples of his work later, it's really good!
- Arashi's 8th full album has been released about a month ago, securing their 7th #1 spot in a row on the Oricon charts. The album includes 2 of their singles, "Happiness" and "Step and Go" and come in two editions: normal edition has a bonus track and limited edition has an extra long booklet with bonus CD of member solo tracks.
- Arashi has had two more shows come out since! Golden Rush Arashi and Himitsu no Arashi-chan. Aiba is hosting GRA while all of Arashi is going to be taking part in Himitsu no Arashi-chan.
- Arashi's 2008 tour starts this month and will go until June/July and they will be the 3rd ever group from Johnny's to go on a tour of all the Dome locations (there are 5), the first two groups being SMAP and KinKi Kids. Congratulations! They are sugoi ne?
- Another news about Riida! He will be starring in his first ever dorama, a remake of a popular Korean drama called "The Devil." He is the lead role and will be acting with Ikuta Toma, also of Johnny's. It will start airing in July, watch out for it!
- Matsujun will also be on the screen this summer, but his is a movie! Hana Yori Dango Final is set to come out this summer as the final installment to the immensely popular Hana Yori Dango series in Japan. All the original cast members agreed to return for this last part so it looks very promising!
- Arashi's newest single, "One Love," is the title song for Hana Yori Dango Final and is set to release June 25 of this year! It is their 22nd. Support them and make sure they make this their 8th straight #1 in a row! (=
WHEW! I think I got the biggest stuff down. Of course these guys have been super busy with all these different activities going on though, so it's hard to know everything! ^^ Come again and I will have posted more stuff in detail about all this as well as CD review of Dream"A"live and more~
They are coming into their 9th year! Ganbatte boys! And seriously, they have been doing amazing, ne? ^^
