Arashi will attempt to set three world records starting tomorrow

by Fiona

Every new Arashi TV commercial has always delighted fans, but 60 new commercials will be aired on TV tomorrow as the group tries to break three world records, reports Oricon and Sankei News.

The group talked about their new commercial line up for KDDI’s Android au mobile phone IS03 at an event in Tokyo this morning.

Sixty versions of their new mobile commercial will go on air tomorrow in attempt to break the following world records: “Most number of versions of a TV commercial advertising the same product broadcast on regular TV within 24 hours”, “Most number of versions of a TV commercial advertising the same product broadcast on one pay-TV channel within 8 hours”, and “Most number of versions of a TV commercial advertising the same product broadcast within one 30-minute TV show”.

The challenge will begin on January 27, with Space Shower TV being the one pay-TV channel, and the “Music Lovers” TV show – to be broadcast on January 30 – to be the one 30-minute show.

It has been reported a special website, android-au.jp, will showcase all 60 commercials from 11am tomorrow, Japan time.

At the event, Arashi member Jun Matsumoto smiled confidently at the group’s challenge.

“We put everything we had into every commercial, and it was a lot of fun. I hope people can watch them,” he said.

Each commercial introduces a different feature or application on KDDI au’s Android smartphone.

At the event, Masaki Aiba showed one feature of the mobile phone by speaking into the Google Translate feature to send his team member a love message in another language.

“I love you, (Kazunari) Ninomiya,” he said.

“I don’t love you,” Ninomiya replied.

Sixty different versions, I cannot wait to see them! This is one intense advertising campaign, I have no doubts that Arashi will break the record. Hehe..Nino loves you too Aiba-chan.

TVB series – thoughts and favorites

by Fiona

It’s been a while since I really sat down and watch a new TVB series. Though, re-watching of a few episodes may occur once in a blue moon. As time progresses, they have become less appealing and tiresome. Their drama formulas are filled with clichés and predictable plots along with talentless new artists. It seems that looks have more priority than skills now-in-days. *sigh* However, I do have some all time favorites, here they are in no particular order :D:

1. Burning Flames I
2. Mystery of the Twin Swords 1 & 2
3. The Greed of Man
4. Triumph in the Skies
5. Secrets of the Heart
6. Game of Deceit
7. War of Genders
8. Old Time Buddy
9. Edge of Righteousness
10. Journey to the West I
11. Demi Gods Semi Devils 1996
12. Triumph in the Skies
13. State of Divinity 1996
14. Mystery of the Twin Swords I & II
15. Armed Reaction I
16. Witness to a Prosecution I
17. Healing hands I
18. Legend of the Condor Heroes 1994
19. Happy Ever After
20. To Catch the Uncatchable
21. Shade of Truth
22. Dark Tales I
23. Cold Blood Warm Heart
24. The War of In-Laws
25. Detective Investigation Files

That’s 25 for ya, I was surprised that so many could be named of the top of my head. When listing them, my favorite scenes/moments were recalled. Those classics can always withstand time ne. I really should dig out my old VHS tapes and dust them off…maybe when it is time for spring cleaning. So what is your favorite top 25 TVB series?
