Fans vote on their favorite Arashi song

by Fiona

In the magazine “TV LIFE” (17th vol.), the results of “My ‘Arashi uta’ ranking”, in which fans voted for their favorite Arashi songs, were revealed. The poll was held through the TV LIFE website from July 1st to 14th.

The #1 Arashi song is… “Still…“, which was the follow up song from their 20th single, “Happiness” (released in September 2007). The runner up was the song, “5×10“. The complete top 40 ranking is available only through the magazine.

What is your favorite Arashi song?

From Toykohive

Still is a lovely song, however, I’m a bit surprised that it was voted as #1 as poll-takers usually select a title song such as Truth or Believe. For me, it’s extremely hard to pick just one, Arashi has too many wonderful songs. Like voters, Still and 5×10 are among my favorites along with Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi, Tomadoinagara, We can make it!, Boku ga Boku no Subete, Cry for me and Once Again. How about yours?

Kyaa~~three of my favorite JE groups are going to be together on MS! Me thinks this will be one epic and “chaotic” episode. LOL

I cannot wait to see how SMAP is going to fanboy over Arashi like they did over the La La La performance many years ago. Maybe there will also be a Nakai-Ohno war, that would be truly awesome. **Boy I really miss Utaban! TOKIO is going crazy and wild as ever, those dorky sempais! LOL

Arashi’s new album sells 275,000 copies on first day

by Fiona

Boy band Arashi released a new album on Wednesday, titled “Boku no Miteiru Fuukei.” In its first day of sales, fans bought 275,000 copies, setting a new personal record for the group. Last year, their “All the BEST! 1999-2009” collection set their previous record with 261,000 copies in its first day. That album went on to sell 753,000 copies within the first week, so many are hoping to see “Boku no Miteiru Fuukei” break that record as well.

Arashi’s last original album was “Dream A live” in 2008. Since then, they have released several hit singles, including “Monster” and “Troublemaker,” which both sold more than half a million copies in their first weeks.

Sugoiiii!! I cannot believe the sales are so good and even had surpassed the first day for All the BEST! It’s probably going to be a quintuple crown this year?! Omedetou to those dorky five!!

I had an opportunity to preview the album last night and it was such a hit for me. I absolutely ♥♥ Mada Ue Wo, Refrain and Kagero, love the variety of melodies and mature lyrics. This certainly displays how Arashi has grown and how versatile they have become. Though, their solos have not been listened to, there is a feeling that Ohno’s will be loved. His gorgeous vocals always seems to amaze me. XO
