The My Girl PV is now out! ANd I'm tellin' you....So amazing! Actually this is the first time that they did such a PV... I'm pertaining to a music video in which it shows a mini story... because, if my memory serves me right, most of their PV's are those which only show them singing, dancing, walking...doing something...but there's no story to it....right?(except Aozora Pedal...thanks for correcting me minnas...)

I was so touched upon watching this wonderful vid! In the PV....the members here are brothers, unfortunately, their mom died and they are all preparing to move out...upon finding memorable things, Aiba found a note from their deceased mother which eventually made them not to move anymore...

I love the part here when Riida is wiping their Mom's portrait, I love the mixed feeling of sadness and warmth of the brothers as their reactions are showed one by one....
The part when Riida tear off the paper and Matsumoto sent the message to their father...telling that they will no longer move out...that's the best too...!(i'm not sure about the text message content).... (Please correct if i'm wrong ^^,)

ahhhh... I'm so delightful...
And The "my GirL'' here is their Okaachan...^^,
Really moving!
Our boys never let us down!
Please enjoy!

GOOd NewS FriEndS!!!

hey!!!!! upDAtE!!!!!

IT's ConFirmeD!!!

Arashi member Masaki Aiba (26) is set to take on his first lead role in a drama series this fall. He will star in TV Asahi's "My Girl," his first series since "Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru" in 2003.

Aiba, who is more known for appearing in variety shows than in dramas, said that he wants to show his fans a "completely different Masaki Aiba" from his usual self.

"My Girl" is based on a manga by Mizu Sahara (an alternate pen name of mangaka Sumomo Yumeka), currently being serialized in Shinchosha's Weekly Comic Bunch. The comic is described as an "ultimate love story" about a young man named Masamune Kazama (Aiba). During high school, he had a girlfriend four years older than him, but she suddenly left one day. Six years later, he receives news that she has passed away. In addition, she secretly gave birth to Masamune's child, whom he finally meets and decides to raise.

TV Asahi will broadcast "My Girl" in its Friday 11:15pm time slot, starting in October.

that's from Tokyograph...JUst what I'm waiting foR!!!!
HooRAY!!!!!^^

The Arashi Voice!

The AraShi VoicE is

good in strength,

relatively powerful and strong.
It is clear, playful, full of emotion, high pitched....
It's composed of five totally different VoiCes...
It's the only STORM that rocks my world!

Let's differentiate these 5 captivating voices of our boys...

相葉雅紀 Aiba Masaki

For example, you don't know Aiba-chan, after hearing his voice, you'll surely conclude that this guy is the SweeT and Good Guy Type! He has that cuTe and HumoroUs soul that all girls are looking for!
I prefer him sing in a group rather than solo. As a solo singer, sometimes you'll find him plain and boring in some parts (well not for those who claim that they are Aiba-chan's wife ^^) especially when the song's melody doesn't fit his voice very well.
Yup he's the one with the most distinctive voice in Arashi. It's soft and breathy and it really sounds very sweet.
He harmonizes with each and every member perfectly! His voice is just too darn flexible that it fits Ohno's, Matsumoto's, Ninomiya's and Sakurai's very well!
His voice is an important element to the whole Arashi voice as he serves as the calm, relaxing point after all of the high, playful (sometimes stressful) notes of the other members.
Pairing him up with Sakurai gives that cool, low range pitch that fits very well for a second voice.
Matsumoto-Aiba, Nino-Aiba and Matsumoto-Nino-Aiba tandems bring in the playfulness and difficulty of the songs. These are just some things that Arashi cannot be famous without!
Nino-Aiba-Sakurai consists of Nino's powerful voice that contradicts the cold and low of Sakuraiba, a perfect balance with Matsumoto-Ohno's voice.

二宮和也 Ninomiya Kazunari

His voice always sounds like that of a typical shy and handsome boy-next-door, one who hasn't come out of the shell of innocence. (haha well put!) (well, somehow he tried to in his song Gimmick Game which revealed his naughty and sexy side.)
Singing in group or in solo, either way, he always comes out excellent! People always get what they want.
He often sings the verses that requires the skillful art of flexibility of the vocals, yeah, the one with "low-high-low-high-high" notes, he just always surprises me everytime I hear him sing and deliver these parts EFFORTLESSLY but with brilliance (even in clarity! perfect!) (bravo! bravo!). It always sounds like they were never that difficult to sing!
As the second best singer, I can say he's also good as a second voice where it requires blending his voice with everyone in the group, adding beauty to the song. (an example is in Sakura Sake).
He knows how to put a lot of emotion into his singing more than others, probably because of his huge knowledge of music.
He's a powerbelter too, just like Riida, but I've never heard him nail it (that great) when with the group. Yes he normally sings the high notes, but Riida always get that part I'm always waiting for near the end, that "oooh...oooh...oooooh..." and "oh-oh-oh-ooooooh yeah-yeah-yeah" thingy.
There are times when you hear someone with Sakurai when rapping, he's also the one behind that blending voice (and sometimes with Aiba-chan).
I really believe he's able to rap too, and with that voice of his, he'll just cast all the girls under his spell!
However, be careful Kazu-kun. When he's off key, I really mean he's way off key.

松本潤 Matsumoto Jun

He's known for that high-pitched nasal sound.
I think he's better in a group than solo. His voice has few choices of tune that would work perfectly and sound nicely together with his voice.
He may sound irritating (well, not for me! #^^,#) but actually he's the one who shapes the whole Arashi voice. It is good in strength, relatively powerful and strong. It is clear, playful, full of emotion, and not to forget, Arashi voice is high-pitched, but still stays flexible, and not annoying to the ears as moderation and support always take part. And Matsumoto's voice contributes the most for the Arashi voice being in the high tone.
Matsumoto's voice oftentimes belongs to the lead vocals, particularly, the Matsumoto-Ohno pairing, Matsumoto-Ohno-Nino, and Matsumoto-Ohno-Sakurai tandems.
Matsumoto-Aiba voice is a good moderator for Ohno-Nino's strong and "just-too-perfect" voice as Aiba's voice also controls the high nasal sound of Matsumoto.

櫻井翔 Sakurai Sho

His voice pretty much sounds like that of a downtown street thug (but a handsome one).
He's a better singer in a group, however, if we talk about RAP, group or solo, he's just great!
Just what would we do without this beautiful creature, his rap always completes most of the Arashi songs.
He's born to rap, his style and gestures, ability to compose rap,and his low, manly voice, he's a perfect rapper.
He also knows how to sing, though, he seems to sound hoarse at times and he's not that good when it comes to voice control, that is, there are times when he sounds shaky.
His rap balances the songs with a touch of the hiphop genre and a downtown badboy image.
He oftentimes stay in the regulator vocals together with Aiba, they have the cold, soulful, and deep in pitch voice, avoiding the song to soud too pitchy and annoying.
Pairing him up with Aiba-kun makes them the perfect bass singers in the group, perfect to oppose the tenors.

大野智 Ohno Satoshi

He always sounds like a total award-winner, be it ballad, rock, pop or any other genres, he's just sooooo talented. (Tres Bien for you captain!)
Group or solo... He always nails it! No doubt he's the lead singer!
He has that nice, smooth tone, good flexibility and strength and to top it all off, his consistency is incredible! Lipsync or live, it's really hard to tell, because he sounds the same.
As the powerbelter of the group, he often sings that part in the end, yup, that "oooh...oooh...oooooh..." and "oh-oh-oh-ooooooh yeah-yeah-yeah" thingy I was talking about earlier.
Whoever you pair him up with, he doesn't overwhelm his partner/s, in fact, he supports them making it easier for them to sing in whatever difficulty, the resulting tandems are no wonder the lead vocals in the song.
As a solo singer, because of his consistent brilliance, he tends to stay flat and off the edge, the excitement wears off. Maybe because of his choice of songs when singing. I think he should come out of that "good guy" shell of his, and try something new.

They may have different voice range, characteristics and quality, but the Arashi Voice wouldn't be completed even if only one is absent... That's AraShi!!!

Everything

Finally!!! Arashi's latest single is now out in the market! Everything for me is kind of a change in pace (so far), compare to the 4 songs they released this year...This is more on a relaxing one but still the message is there, just what is expected from those guys, their songs always stays meaningful, and most of them lift my soul up, and encourage me to continue life! And oh... the video is way different too, the 5 of them gathered in a circle like that, it really looked like they recorded the song during that time, and not to mention, the sunset is very beautiful! Way to go guys! You never let us down!

Here is Arashi's performance in Utaban 09.06.28

And Arashi's Everything PV
