I ♥ the new CMs, definitely worth flailing and aww-ing at.

Color x Design -- Spring AU CM:

リーダー最高!! ^^ This is so darn kawaii, love the boys’ expressions when three Ohnos appeared.

Arashi SP Movie (Ohno edition):

This is such a sweet CM, especially the messages. Even though they were simple, each held a special meaning. The calls between Aiba and Jun-kun are something not to miss, you can sense the warmth from their voices. ^^ I found the second one quite adorable, always love when there is some Juntoshi action. BTW, Ohno’s finger were very pretty during that scene. I wonder if there will additional versions with Sho-kun and Nino.

Making of:

Loads of Ohmiya here!! Nino looks so dorky with the wig. LOL
Doesn’t Arashi’s laughter and smiles just makes your days?!

Love how they had bullied Oh-chan into letting them into the tub and then pushed him to the end. Only one left is Jun-kun’s, wonder when it will be released.

Happy November, minna-san! Autumn is certainly upon us — the chilly mornings and the lovely colors of the leaves on the trees. It is my second favorite season, the temperature is just right, not too hot nor cold. The Fall foliage is a treat not to miss. I’ll need to take some picture before all the leaves are gone for good. Hope all is well for you and good luck to those who returned to school and/or have turned a new chapter in life.

I was browsing through Youtube like most days and stumble upon the new AU CMs. They are so adorable and love that the entire group is featured in each one.

Aiba-chan’s version:

Nino’s version:

Sho-kun’s version:

Making of:

Just seeing this makes you happy, life is certainly wonderful! Doesn’t their smiles and laughter brighten your day, they always do for me. XD

On a side note, my Yesasia order had shipped yesterday with the All the Best 1999-2009! Clips. Yeah!! I’m jumping with joy, hopefully it will arrive by the end of this week!

This definitely made my day! The boys were so cute dancing with Disney characters, especially when Jun-kun was bumping hips with Donald and Sho-kun with Goofy! I envy to those who will be going to the Premium Night; people living in Japan are so lucky.

I usually don’t discuss about CMs, however, the newest AU one was just too cute not to share. This one includes all five members and promotes the AU Box. If you’re wondering what the device is…

…enables users to enjoy music and video content downloaded via their TV sets on their AU mobile phones.

More information on the AU Box in English can be found here and here.

The theme of the CM was “If we were not Arashi….” Individual profiles were created, making this CM unique, special and even more fun. **Someone in the marketing department is doing their job at AU. Here are the profiles:

• Sho-kun has been working in the Human Resources department at AU Corporation for five years. However, his dream is to work on a more global basis.

• Jun-kun is a young band member of a famous orchestra, who has been raised in the intellectual family and is well educated. **sounds like Sho-kun

• Nino is chasing his dream to become an actor, who had to quit his normal job three years ago. As a main actor of a local theater group, creativity is easy absorbed by him.

• Riida had earned his MBA and is now working as a successful stock broker for a foreign-affiliated brokerage firm. He deals with a various of IT equipments and monitors stock market for 24 hours. **Oh-chan looks so kakoii in his suit.

• Aiba-chan lives in his hometown and works at a bakery, selling delicious goods. He is cheerful and loves to play sports. **this one would have been more cuter for Oh-chan.

…quite interesting, ne?

The CM:

Used a translator for the profiles and had to do some tweaking for them to make sense. I think they turned out fine, lemme know if they are not accurate.

On a side note, this is my 100th post. Yatta!! Who would have thought this lil’ blog would have grown so much; now if I can get just a few visitors, that would make my day . Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
