Arashi travels around Japan for NHK’s special program

by Fiona

Arashi have donned their traveling gear once again for a special NHK program called “Arashi no Asu ni Kakeru Tabi“. It’s a special documentary that seeks to rediscover the will and strength of the Japanese people. Consequently, the members travel all over the nation, interviewing outstanding individuals who possess great potential in shepherding Japan’s future.

Ninomiya Kazunari visits a soy sauce brewery in Yuasa-cho, Wakayama, which has more than 170 years of history. He commented, “We were able to learn about the numerous people, skills, traditions, and ties in Japan. We would like everyone to feel how wonderful it was.”

Leader Ohno Satoshi introduces “Eager”, the local hero of Onagawa town in Miyagi prefecture. He also meets the people from Onagawa’s Commerce and Industry section, who continues to hold hero shows for local kids even after the Tohoku earthquake.

Matsumoto Jun visits a small factory in Kawaguchi-city, Saitama, which makes bags and small articles that are loved by stars all over the world. He investigates the background behind these beloved items.

As for Sakurai Sho, he flies to Toyama-city, Toyama, where he meets a 25-year-old lady who chose to work for her parents’ farm. It’s an unusual decision for modern times, and so he seeks to discover her reason to farm.

Finally, Aiba Masaki visits Kashima-city, Saga, where he partakes in “Mutsukake fishing”, which is a unique way to fish the mudskippers in the Ariake Sea. He tackles the challenge of tideland fishing, and encounters a young man who’s apparently the first successor in 30 years for this old fishing tradition.

“Arashi no Asu ni Kakeru Tabi” will air on November 23rd at 7:30 PM JST.

Another reason to love Arashi, the boys are so willing to be out and about with their fans. I look forward to this, seems interesting and might learn something new, always do.

Recommended Fanfics: Naruto Shippuden – Kakashi x Sakura

by Fiona

I love Hatake Kakashi to bits and always delighted to read a well-written fanfic regarding his adventures, as well as , fandom fantasies. As an avid fan for many years, it never, ever occurred to me to pair sensei with Sakura…mine had been set on Naruto or Sasuke and her like most. It wasn’t until recently, mainly out of curiosity, I had picked up a KakaSaku story. To my surprise, the read was fabulous and the couple seem naturally fitting, nothing odd due to age, mentor-student status, etc. Well..age really doesn’t matter as long they are legal and it never has in my little world. The relationship between Kakashi and older Sakura was affectionate, complex and beautiful, they are my OTP in Naturo now. XO

So without much ado, here are my recommended fanfics for KakaSaku:

Arashi releases short PV for Meikyu Love Song

by Fiona

The clocks (and everyone’s watches) are counting down until Arashi’s new single is released. So far they have teased us with a full audio sneak peak and now a preview for their PV!

This has got to be one of the more funnier Arashi PV’s, back to the “Kitto Daijoubu” comedy. The PV features the boys at their silliest, battling and making epic escapes while still looking very cool. Check out the preview but be warned once you watch, you’ll only want to watch more!

From Jpopasia.com

I’m mecha excited and cannot wait for the full version. The theme of the PV is unique and cute, the boys also look awesome, especially Jun-kun’s hair.
