Kyaa~~ Arashi and Disney characters is such a dream collaboration. It look so much fun dancing with Mickey, Donald Duck, the Chipmunks, etc; they even sang Jingle Bells together. XO It feels so magical, I suddenly have an urge to go to Disneyland.
嵐/Arashi, celebrating their 10th year, will appear at a drama, 最後の約束/The Last Promise with all the members together, and it has been 10 years since they appeared all together. The theme of the drama is “Bond” and it is a suspense drama that 5 people accidentaly meet as hostages of the huge building and fight against a terrorist. The latest costarring of 5 members was “Vの嵐/V no arashi,” a mini-drama in 1999. Here are the members’ comments.
大野/Ohno:
“The experiences of our 10 years will be helpful on acting”
櫻井/Sakurai:
“It has been 10 years since 5 of us all appeared on the same drama. It is really happy to come back Fuji Television again. We will face against a terrorist because we are at the same building. The drama will have tensions and we hope to show different sides of ourselves.”
相葉/Aiba:
“When we debuted, we did the drama together, so it feels like I’m home!”
二宮/Ninomiya:
“We did different things and hope to bring them together for this drama. We hope you to enjoy ‘Arashi.'”
松本/Matsumoto:
“I am a bit embarrassed…(laugh), but I am looking forward to the day the five of us film together. (laugh) The script is great, and all the awesome staffs and actors…It will be the best drama for the new upcoming spring.”
The special 10th anniversary year! Arashi did the national dorm tour starting from Kokuritsu Kyogijyo concerts in August, 3 days straight for the first time in history. The DVD released on 28th of last month, “All the BEST! 1999-2009” marked 500,000 sales, also first time in history of music DVD market. Arashi will never stop and nobody can stop them. 2010 seems to be Arashi’s year again with their new drama in spring.
I’m CHO excited now, I’m sure minna-san is too! Didn’t believe it at first and had to read the article twice to double-check…hehe. The plot is intriguing so far and love the suspense aspect, I’ve been a fan of this genre since a girl. Just wondering how long the special will be, a single 3-hour one or several episodes. Also, who will portray the terrorists? I’ve a got a list in mind lol, wouldn’t it be nice if a senpai was casted for this role? We’ll just have to wait and see!
Riida has become much fairer now-in-day, somehow his Maou aura reeks in that poster. lol I wonder if Jun-kun was embarrassed for being shirt-less at the photoshoot or being in the drama with the other members…hehe.
Arashi is going to tremendously busy this coming year, there is already so much lined-up for them. Ganbatte ne!!
