I’m so excited for this, resembles a bit of Truth but has it’s own unique flavor. Cannot wait for my package from CDJapan to come, only a few more days!
Idol group Arashi’s member Masami Aiba had his first boxing challenge in the new CM “BOXING” of the medicine for insect sting. He was instructed with a lot of secret tips from the legendary former world champion Yoko Gushiken who defended his championship for 13 times. So in the CM Aiba was able to show the KO punches one after another.
Aiba, who is known for his kind and friendly personality, hit the sandbag single-minded with one-two punch of sharp jab and straight before the final powerful right hook, keeping a cool expression on the face.
After watching more than 200 punches of himself in the shooting, he commented: “It seems that I become stronger somehow.” The 1st chapter “The man who fits Muhi best in Japan” of the new CM has already been on air. Can Aiba “KO” fans by his charm with double CMs?!
You can view Aiba-chan’s new CMs on the official website here. There are also a few wallpapers available to download, I especially like the black and white one. Both CMs are cute, though the Boxing Otaku one is a bit better.
Looks like two editions will be available for the boys’ 30th single, Monster.

Both covers are awesome ne, though, Arashi look more dazzling and kakkoii on the LE one. ♥ Don’t they remind you of the Truth CDs with the dark and shivering atmosphere?
I also had the pleasure of previewing to the B-side song, Spiral on Youtube. It is absolutely fabulous — very deep and serious. Sakurap is wicked as ever.
