Now if Arashi no Shukudai-kun and Mago Mago Arashi were still airing, they would be ranked number 1 and 2. Himitsu is cute, but cannot compare to the classics. :) SMAP x SMAP, Shin Doumoto Kyoudai and 5LDK are awesome as well, always get a good kick while watching these. Where is Gakkou e Ikou and Janiben though?

Arashi – Mada Minu Sakai E PV

It’s been a while since our boys released a PV for an album, I believe the last one was for Lucky Man.

Awesomeness! It reminds me of their earlier works, doesn’t it scream A.RA.SHI and Typhoon Generation!? The boys are gorgeous as always, especially in the black outfits. The contrast used was fantastic, the colorful and youthful in the first part vs. the dark and mature for the latter. Oh-chan was adorable with that Dragonball Z hair style LOL, Jun-kun and Nino looked quite smexy too.

今回の地震で被害に遭われた皆様に、心よりお悔やみ、お見舞い申し上げます。

連日の報道を見れば見るほど、知れば知るほど、被災された皆さんのことが、とても心配です。

沢山のファンの方が、僕らのことまで気にかけて下さっていると聞きましたが、僕たちは全員大丈夫です。ご安心下さい。

いま、節電・節水・緊急時以外の電話の使用を控えること・義援金の協力…、東京にいる僕たちができることに努めています。きっと、小さなことの積み重ねが大きな力になることを信じて。

僕たちの活動の中で、できることは限られていると思いますが、“皆さんが少しでも笑顔になれるように…”と想いをこめて、目の前にあることに全力で取り組んでいきます。

被災地の皆さんにとって、まだまだ予断を許さない状況は続いているとは思いますが、ご家族やお友達、周りの方々と励ましあって、何とか今を乗り越えられるよう、メンバー一同願っています。

Translation found on the arashi_no_jidai LJ community:

We offer our deepest sympathy to those affected by this earthquake.
The more we watch the daily reports, the more we know (about the devastation), the more worried we get about those affected by the disaster.
We’ve heard that many fans are worrying for us even. All of us are alright. Please do not worry.
In Tokyo, we are doing what we can in moderating our usage of electricity, water and the usage of the telephone unnecessarily, and in making donations… Please have faith that small actions can build on each other to form a great force.
Although there is a limit to what we can do in schedules, we will put our greatest effort in doing what is before us, bearing the thought “I hope we can make everyone smile even if just a bit”.
For those from the areas struck by the disaster, although the situation is still continuing to be unpredictable, all our members hope that with mutual encourage from family, friends and people around you, we can ride this through somehow.

Ohno Satoshi, Sakurai Sho, Aiba Masaki, Ninomiya Kazunari, Matsumoto Jun

I’ve been following the news intensely regarding the nuclear plant issue. It’s quite devastating to know another worrisome situation burdens them. My thoughts and prayers are with Japan for everyone’s safety.

I hope we can make everyone smile even if just a bit.
Bravo to Arashi and everyone are extending their hands to help those in need. Let’s all continue to pray for them.
