Arashi in Shanghai Concert Pics + Additional News

by Fiona

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.

Yoshi, picture time…. *love*

Arashi in Shanghai

by Fiona

Kyaaa~~ Found some many articles regarding the boy’s last destination of their Arashi in Asia 2008 tour.  Somehow I’m quite excited even though I’m unable to attend their concerts. Mostly likely because this will be a ground-breaking opportunity for them, being the first Johnny’s Entertainment idol group to perform in China. This will probably open the J-pop market wider in China; I’m pretty sure that some will attend an Arashi concert just to see what it is like. Not as a fan, but as an observer. Oh, a Japanese band is performing here, want to go see? Something on these lines…. I have 200% confidence that once you have been exposed, you can never live without Arashi, the same way as I am. Arashi as Ambassadors of JE and Jpop has a nice ring to it, ne?

Picspam time: *excited*

A press was held for the event, here’s a lovely shot of the boys:


They look so handsome and kakkoii in suits. *love* Wish there was a larger image of this, it’s really a nice one.

Also, found a clip on Tudou.com of their exclusive interview:

Jun-kun said, 我愛你們. He looked so nervous, however, still leader-like. Cute as always, ne! Arashi’s meal time was filmed in the beginning. The boys were munching away at the crabs, that must have been delicious. I wonder if there’s someone very important at the press conference since the boys are in suits. Maybe Johnny-san?

Cannot wait for tomorrow’s articles for the concert photos.

Yay, finally some news about Aiba, which has been lacking this year. He will be starring in a butai the beginning of 2009, it’s title is Green Fingers 「グリーンフィンガーズ」. Glad he is doing something special this coming year; only seen his acting in a few movies, but its superior. Here’s to hoping that he will surprise us with a drama as well. The dates of the shows are as follows:

I did further digging and found some information on the story, appears to have been inspired by real events.

SYNOPSIS:
When Colin Briggs is placed in an experimental program to finish off his prison sentence, all he wants is peace and quiet. But after his wise, elderly roommate Fergus introduces him to gardening, Colin uncovers a talent and passion for plants. Teaming up with his fellow inmates, Colin gets the attention of celebrated gardener Georgina Woodhouse. Soon, the unexpected gardeners are preparing to compete for England’s highset flower show award, the Hampton Court Flower Show. And when Colin meets Georgina’s beautiful daughter Primrose, he discovers another reason to fight for his freedom: true love.

Speaking of butais, I really need to get my hands on Jun-kun’s and the other members’, haven’t gotten a chance to download them. **Hurries to locate things-to-watch list and scratches “West Side Story” and a few other.
