Arashi – Once Again

by Fiona

How in the world did I miss this song??? Really, I’ve must have been living in my own little world when Dream-A-Live was released and probably, I didn’t bother to download the RE.

Once Again is simply pure awesomeness! Without doubt, it has become an instant favorite of mine! I love the dark composition along with smooth vocals of the boys, in perfect harmony. The rap sequence is arranged nicely just prior to the last chorus, fabulously sang by Sho-kun as always.

I would love to see this one live…unfortunately, the Dream-A-Live concert DVD has not been released yet. Mostly likely, it never will! Fancam, anyone??? Hopefully, the boy will have it arranged in a future one, let’s all pray!!

This is such an awesome fanvideo, the song fits perfectly with the scenes.

Here are the Kanji and English lyrics:

Once Again
Lyrics：Wonderland
Rap: Sakurai Sho
Music : Alfred Tuohey & Thanh Bui

もう一度　僕らは今　動き出した未来へ
漕ぎ出せ　胸に想い刻み込んで
つかみ取れるさ　手を伸ばせば　まだ
忘れていた　夢がそこにある

Once again, we’re moving towards the future now.
Starting to row, engraving the feelings in my heart.
I can reach out if I extend my hands,
the forgotten dreams are still there.

僕らずっと飛べなくて　空見上げ眺めてた
何にも出来ず当てもなく　ただ探し続けたあの頃

We can never fly, we look up to the sky.
Unable to do anything, without aim, we continued to search back then.

Arashi took just about every prize going at the 24th Gold Disk Taisho awards yesterday. Including the top honor of being named as Artist of the Year, the Johnny’s Jimusho idol group won a total of 10 categories, the most ever. Other awards included Album of the Year (“All the Best! 1999-2009”), Single of the Year (“Believe/Kumori Nochi Kaisei”) and Best Music Video (“Arashi Around Asia 2008”).

Members Ohno Satoshi, Aiba Masaki and Matsumoto Jun were on hand to pick up the 10 trophies. Aiba joked that there were so many that they should give them away to fans in a lottery.

The awards are given out annually by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, and are based on sales figures. In 2009, Arashi sold 2.45 million singles, 1.77 million albums, 1.14 million videos/DVDs, and 3.07 million downloads for an accumulative total of 8.42 million.

The New Artist of the Year, for the top-selling artist who debuted in 2009, went to the band Hilcrhyme.

The main award in the overseas music category went to The Beatles, based mainly on last year’s sales of their remastered albums, while Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” was Album of the Year. Guitarist Slash took Single of the Year for the song “Sahara,” which featured B’z vocalist Inaba Koshi.

Arashi – Troublemaker PV Preview

by Fiona

Wow, the preview is already out.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZb1-wfQtxM

This is so darn cute! I’ve always been a fan of stop-motion, so happy that this PV director decided to implement it. Looks like Arashi is riding on the salt boat (you know that one made by Sho-kun for the Odorokino Arashi SP) and Riida was able to recruit minions for his fishing expedition. Pure love ne! The boys must of had loads of fun making this; cannot wait to see the full version.
