嵐 Arashi

Well, here I go again with my random ramblings because I'm bored. Well, this time it's about Arashi(嵐) They're a band that works for the same company as NEWS but they debuted before them. By a lot actually because they debuted in 1999 and NEWS was n 2003.
Anyway, the band consists of Ohno Staoshi, Aiba Masaki, Sakurai Sho, Ninomiya Kazunari, and Matsumoto Jun. Their first single was called A-RA-SH-I and their following single was Sunrise Nippon/Horizon. Their sales started to decline in the years of 2002 - 2005. Then their sales increased like crazy by 2007. That's all thanks to Hana Yori Dango. (Thank you Hana Yori Dango!) They sang the theme songs for the drama ,which Matsumoto was starring in, called Wish, Love so sweet, and for the movie One Love. Around this time,which i think is funny, Nino started to loose his confidence. so, he wanted to go to Hollywood to become a professional actor. By the way, he didn't succeed but he starred in a Hollywood movie so close enough. Anyway, they started lots of show such as VS arashi, Himitsu no Arashichan, and my favorite Arashi ni Shiyagare. The reason why I like it is because they aren't told anything about who's going to come on the show so they're always so clueless. It makes me laugh when they see the guest and they have they're mouths wide open. They hosted the yearly 24 hour television twice and got ten Japanese golden disc awards; practically Japanese Grammy awards. The thing that caught my eye about them during the summer was they rented Tokyo Disney Sea for one night just for one concert! When I first heard about it, I thought they were the craziest people ever because they were giving out the tickets by selling curry. Something like the golden ticket in Charlie and the chocolate factory. My mom added that arashi fans would have to eat curry for months. lol
Anyway, they are at thier peak right know and are really known. They were even used for the commercial of the New Super Mario Bros. (since they always have someone playing it as a demonstration. when Nino played, since he is a game otaku, he looked like he was having the most fun.
Anyway, I'm going to do the same thing as I did with NEWS and put lyrics to a song they sing. But it's a little too long so it's going to be a whole different post.

my music

You know how I have music on the side? Well, listening to card captor sakura is nice and all but I'm just going to change it from anime songs. I'll have some but not as much. I really just want to listen to more Arashi and NEWS. The ones I'm definitely keeping are the ones from love com cuz of three reasons. One I like them. Two, the people who are singing (tegomass= tegoshi and masuda from NEWS& Hey say 7) all work for the same agency as Arashi and NEWS. Well, for Hey say 7 I'm not sure but I know some of them are in Hey say jump so it all works out. Last but not least three is that they're all songs from anime that I like. so just giving you a warning the first song u hear is probably going to be quite up beat.
For the pic, I found it on the internet and I liked the colors so I just put it on here. The pretty colors!!!

NEWS

I don't know what to blog about so I just decided to write about certain Japanese boy bands. It's really random but I'm going to start with NEWS.
There are six members in NEWS.
Nishikido Ryo, Koyama Keiichiro, Yamashita Tomohisa, Masuda Takahisa, Kato Shigeaki, and Tegoshi Yuya. There also used to be three others but when they sang NEWS Nippon for the world cup volley ball tournament, two of the three were caught messing around were they served alcohol thus drinking and getting drunk. Obviously, they were too young and were down graded to trainees.The other one just chose to quit I don't know exactly which one of them but one of them signed up for the agency again and know is part of kan jani ∞. (this is an eight. ∞=this)

Any way, they debuted formed in 2003 and sang NEWS Nippon (their first single) for volleyball. They also sang Sayaendō for a ONE PIECE movie. after that, they went on hiatus and came back in December 2006. They also sing one of my favorite songs sakura girl. I have a link to You tube so u can see the music video at the end. I just am osessed with this song so I'm just going to put the lyrics to it. My favorite part is the first verse. It's kind of sad because the song is about breaking up. In the music video, one of them gets slapped by a girl. lol

first in romaji:

Then in English:
Cherry blossom
You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)
Cherry blossom

It was a sudden encounter with the two of us in the classroom
We just said such random lines of dialog
But for me, I will never forget any of it
I will remember it my whole life
It's beautiful because it can fall like a petal
I didn't know that so I guess there was nothing I could do

You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)
Cherry blossom

I couldn't find words to respond to your "goodbye"
It's still something I can't accept
But I can't see you in front of me any longer
Even the empty shell of me has been smashed to pieces
“It's beautiful because it is short-lived”
I don't want to hear things like that since now everything seems gray

You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)
Cherry blossom

You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)

La la love, cherry blossom La la love, cherry blossom

SORRY

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry I haven't blogged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had lots of junk on the laptop I use and my dad told me to delete some of it. It's not that easy when you have 238 photos just of anime! plus there was this music I didn't want so I threw that away. But I'm not done yet. Plus, we had all this homework, tests, and projects all AT THE SAME TIME. Well, I'll start blogging as fast as I can!
