According to intel, Massu, Shige and Tegoshi went to Arashi’s Japonism concert last night. I’m not surprised about the first two but Tegoshi? He never goes to other JE bands’ concerts. That’s good, that’s really good. I wish there were pictures.
NEWS is the idol group with the most media exposure in 2015.
Omedetou NEWS!!!😙
But it’s strange that Arashi isn’t in this ranking. Sho-kun is 25th and Aiba is 32nd.
Massu was the guest on k-chan radio and at one point they discussed the skirt-pants trend and Koyama said Massu seemed to wear clothes “similar to skirts” and Massu was like “No, they’re just skirts.” I love a man who calls things by their proper names.
2,000 boxes of special chocolates to promote Matsumoto’s Shitsuren Chocolatier drama got sold out in less than 5 MINUTES.
The lip-balm used by Aiba during Baba Arashi segment in VS Arashi 2014 New Year SP suddenly became no.1 on the sales ranking after the episode was aired.
Sakurai’s birthday present for Aiba, a blanket that costs 39,900 yen, got sold out everywhere after it was mentioned on TV last year.
Sakurai’s Kazoku Game drama promotional campaign, “Call this number and Yoshimoto Kouya will answer you”, was cancelled the next day after it’s launched because the number was spammed by too many people.
A newspaper reported that Arashi Live Tour Love last year helped to raise the domestic flights rate by 8.4%.
The 5 trees that represented Arashi in JAL CM last year attracted so many people that the land of Hokkaido where the trees located became a tourists destination. The farmers later had to plant another tree because some ill-mannered fans went to invade the land without permission and stole the tree branches.
With Sakurai Sho as their endorser, JINS! claimed that their annual sales rise by 60%.
4 shrines all over Japan that COINCIDENTALLY named after the members become so popular as Arashi fans think they’ll get Arashi concert tickets if they pray there.
Ninomiya starring movie “Platina Data” created its own record as the movie that had been mentioned most number of times on twitter in 24 hours last year.
Publishing companies claimed that Arashi helped their magazine sales to boost a lot that whenever they are on the cover, most of the magazines have to be reprinted.
So January issue of Myojo made them think of imaginary situations with girls and everyone handled the issue with various levels of success. Massu is my precious cupcake but his was really good and made me want to date him for the first time in these 2 years. Bb will make a great boyfriend. Anyway, what I wanted to write about was Shige’s part. His topic was “books and girls” and he struggled through it but then he wrote this:
…I tried to forcibly make myself come up with a sweet situation involving a girl but actually I don’t have any longing for such things. I don’t think I even long to spend time together with a girl in the first place. I can have way more fun with guys without hesitation. Do I like men? (laugh) Though it would be nice if one day I could become a man who would want to see the Christmas lights with a girl.
I rest my case. There was also a very scandalous cross-talk but I think I’ll save that for later.
