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

Matsumoto Jun to interview Angelina Jolie

by Fiona

Matsumoto Jun (Arashi) will interview Angelina Jolie on the next week’s “Arashi ni shiyagare“, which will be broadcasted on August 7th. There is a corner called “Michi tono Sougu shiyagare” (close encounter of unfamiliar things), and Jun meets a famous translator, Toda Natsuko in the corner. Natsuko teaches Jun how to interview Hollywood stars, and Jun will accept a challenge to interview Angelina Jolie, who visited Japan to promote her movie “Salt”.

From Tokyohive

This is certainly amazing, and the boys’ dream finally come true. I recall that they wanted a foreign celebrity to guest on Arashi no Shukudai-kun. Though, I wish all of them would have met her. Nevertheless, Arashi ni Shiyagare is still one awesome show.

Angelina Jolie must experience Jun’s Engrish and his version of OMG. LOL I bet he is as excited as we are!! Definitely looking forward to this, this is going to one epic and hilarious episode.
