Looks like two editions will be available for the boys’ 30th single, Monster.
From Johnny's net
Both covers are awesome ne, though, Arashi look more dazzling and kakkoii on the LE one. ♥ Don’t they remind you of the Truth CDs with the dark and shivering atmosphere? 
I also had the pleasure of previewing to the B-side song, Spiral on Youtube. It is absolutely fabulous — very deep and serious. Sakurap is wicked as ever.

Happy March, minna-san! ^.^
Kyaa~~ the 5×10 Tour DVD is finally being released! CDJapan is taking preorders now.
Here’s the description:
After 5 x 10 All the BEST! 1999 -2009 and 5 x 10 All the BEST! CLIPS 1999-2009 comes ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5 x 10, the final release in Arashi’s 5X10 tenth anniversary series! 2009 was a year of many records and achievements for Arashi. Other than being the first artist to sweep Oricon’s annual single, album, music DVD, and overall sales charts, Arashi is also the first artist to hold three consecutive concerts at Tokyo’s National Olympic Stadium from August 28 to 39. All together, their nationwide ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5 x 10 attracted 760,000 people!
This ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5 x 10 release records the group’s August 29 concert at the National Olympic Stadium, where they performed a full set of their biggest hits as well as the new songs Attack it! and 5 x 10. The DVD also includes highlights from their August 30 concert and arena tour.
Looks like there will be 2 discs with the following content:
- Full concert on August 29th
- Digest version of August 30th and 5 Dome Tours from Sept. 2009 to Jan. 2010
If the digest from the 30th is included, does that mean Jun-kun’s birthday footage can be seen?! I’ll be so happy if it is! Though, it would have been superb if the infamous Matsumiya kiss and when Riida had cried were available too. Guess that would be demanding too much. 
Let’s all hope that the digest is not too short, something on the length of the AAA 2008 DVD would be fine. It’s their 10th Anniversary for god sakes, please provide us more.

Look what I found on the Johnny’s net website, the new covers for Arashi’s 29th single:
I really like these! ^^ They are super adorable and somehow reminds me of the Time album covers. Though, I wish the image for the RE was on the LE one, they seem a bit naughtier there. :p
Both version of Troublemaker can be pre-ordered at CDJapan:
Limited Edition – $15.64 USD | Regular Edition – $12.77 USD

The boys’ first 2010 single will be released March 3, 2010. Here’s the description from Yesasia:
The first artist to top Oricon’s annual single, album, music DVD, and overall sales charts in the same year, Arashi was without a doubt the biggest act in J-pop in 2009. The group is coming out equally strong in 2010 with the new eighties-style power pop single Troublemaker, the theme song of Sakurai Sho’s TV drama Tokujo Kabachi!!. Side track Yurase, Ima wo is NTV’s theme song for their 2010 Winter Olympics broadcast.
Looks like the limited edition comes with the music video DVD along the regular/normal one includes a bonus track titled Mo Ippo.
They can be pre-ordered on Yesasia at Limited Edition and Regular Version.
Guess I was wrong, had thought it would be a double-A side this time, but I’m still very happy. You’ve got to love the title, Troublemaker…hehe! On a side note, I truly hope that Sora Takaku will be on the next single or album release, love this one to bits too.
