Arashi – New AU CM

I usually don’t discuss about CMs, however, the newest AU one was just too cute not to share. This one includes all five members and promotes the AU Box. If you’re wondering what the device is…

…enables users to enjoy music and video content downloaded via their TV sets on their AU mobile phones.

More information on the AU Box in English can be found here and here.

The theme of the CM was “If we were not Arashi….” Individual profiles were created, making this CM unique, special and even more fun. **Someone in the marketing department is doing their job at AU. Here are the profiles:

  • Sho-kun has been working in the Human Resources department at AU Corporation for five years. However, his dream is to work on a more global basis.
  • Jun-kun is a young band member of a famous orchestra, who has been raised in the intellectual family and is well educated. **sounds like Sho-kun
  • Nino is chasing his dream to become an actor, who had to quit his normal job three years ago. As a main actor of a local theater group, creativity is easy absorbed by him.
  • Riida had earned his MBA and is now working as a successful stock broker for a foreign-affiliated brokerage firm. He deals with a various of IT equipments and monitors stock market for 24 hours. **Oh-chan looks so kakoii in his suit.
  • Aiba-chan lives in his hometown and works at a bakery, selling delicious goods. He is cheerful and loves to play sports. **this one would have been more cuter for Oh-chan.

…quite interesting, ne?

Used a translator for the profiles and had to do some tweaking for them to make sense. I think they turned out fine, lemme know if they are not accurate.

On a side note, this is my 100th post. Yatta!! Who would have thought this lil’ blog would have grown so much; now if I can get just a few visitors, that would make my day . Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

Cannot believe the AAA 2008 Tour is over, it flew by like the wind. Found plenty of concert pictures and additional news praising the boys. Sugoi!! Over 20,000 fans had attended, JE must be proud for such a success.

During one of the MCs, Arashi talked about being on the cover of the Shanghai newspaper. This was a first; even in Japan, they have never been on the cover and were extremely honored. Another article noted that our Jun-kun was the Michael Jackson of Japan. rflmao That is just too hilarious!!! Overall, the first JE concert in Shanghai was well-received and the boys appeared to have had loads of fun. Soo proud of Arashi for their never-ending accomplished.
