I’m going to do a five day tribute to Arashi, a little countdown and celebration.🎉 Let’s start with the first song 🎶 that I ever heard of them, We can make it! This was back in 2008 when I was still a novice in the J-Drama world. Yes, I was MatsuJun baited and proud of it. 😂 However, it was not the first of his dramas I have seen, Gokusen was the initial (no Arashi themesong though, shame on them 🤭), and then I watched Bambino where I found out such a band existed.😁
Though the We can make it! MV is simple, it always brings a smile to my face on the most gloomiest day. May I say, they look absolutely handsome in their military jackets! 😉 This is quite a catchy and inspirational song. It makes you want to get up, dance and bounce around with them.✨ They were so youthful back then, though Nino never ages though.😆
Happy August! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I am not surprised of the best clips release since its their 20th anniversary, probably gonna add this to my collection.
Arashi isn’t done yet with new music releases. Following their 20th anniversary album last June, Arashi is slated to release their newest single “BRAVE” on September 11. The song is used as image song for NTV’s broadcast of the “Rugby World Cup 2019 Japan Tournament”.
Featuring Sakurai’s rap, this is also the first single from Arashi to be released in a Blu ray disc. The single will only contain one song “BRAVE” and a 54 minute DVD/ Bluray content.
In addition, Arashi will be releasing their music video collection “5 × 20 All the BEST !! CLIPS 1999-2019” on October 16th. This is the second part of their “5×20” series. Similar with the best album, the MV collection will contain 63 MVs from their debut single “A ・ RA ・ SHI” to “Kimi no Uta” released in 2018. The first limited edition will come with a bonus disc containing MVs of album songs and coupling songs.
Check out the release details and the group’s performance of “BRAVE” below.

Arashi dropped their newest album “Are You Happy?” last October 26. In the album, the group starts from the basic universal joy of listening to music and presenting songs that make the listener feel happy.
Check out the music video for the lead song “Don’t You Get It?”, which features the members just being all kinds of goofy and ridiculous. What do you think of this latest release from Arashi?
Absolutely agree, they are still so adorable and dorky, especially Oh-chan. Love the upbeat and catching tune, their casual clothing and the doggies. XD Just cannot wait to get their Are you Happy? album in the mail.
