Utaban 17-Nov-05

My Japanese Exam ended yesterday. feel so relax and free.. fufufu..

Free to do whatever I want until I think next week cos Jap Exam ended but JLPT coming.. *sob sob*

Ok today the purpose of updating this blog is to talk abt Arashi!!
Arashi is so cute in Utaban.. I cannot possibly miss doing a write up abt it...
Ok.. now begin for the fun and laughter...

Part 1 - Ohno vs Nakai San

It had been 1 year and 9 months since Arashi came to Utaban. And Nakai complaint that they had not attended his program becos their schedules is too busy. Minna said that they will attend if Nakai as their senior open his mouth; no matter how busy they are they will still attend. And Nakai asked Ohno if he will attend and he said probably not! Nakai wanted to get angry but eventually remained calm..and said that... here is something which I don't really understand. Ok he said something like he dislikes argument with pple as it is like the behavior of kids. And Ohno kun commented that he is already 33 years. So he ran to beat up Ohno. But of cos was stopped by other Arashi members.

Then they talk abt Hanayoridango and show some parts of Hanayoridango.
Skip a bit here...

Then Nakai asked abt if they watched Hanayoridango and they said that they did.
Nino said that he loves to watch other member's drama as he think is very interesting.
Nakai said that he dislikes watching member's drama as he find it strange. Especially for love scene. The other host Takasan asked if Nakai had any kiss scenes before and he said no as he will always had NG. Minna are so amazed...Nakai asked if Matsujun had any kiss scene and he replied yes. Nakai asked if Arashi had seen the kiss scene and they said that everyone had seen it. He asked what is the feeling when they see their kiss scene and Nino said that the person who should be embarrassed should be Matsujun and not the others who watched it. But Matsujun said that he is ok with kiss scene.

Suddenly Nakai asked if Ohno is listening to them and Ohno act as if he is not listening and he said that he is not listening. Nakai ran very fast to Ohno and moved the tables away to catch Ohno. This time rest of Arashi are too late to stop him and he got hold of Ohno. they're sort of fighting and Nakai told Ohno to knock him down. And Ohno did.. However there's a mat on the floor and Nakai expected Ohno to knock him on the mat but he was thrown onto the floor instead of the mat.. haha...
Nakai said that when he is planning to let Ohno kun knock over, Ohno still replied "hai" obediently. And he started to discuss and tell Ohno abt the correct way of knocking him down on the mat!!

Part 2 - Arashi sang A.Ra.Shi

First they mentioned that Ohno's birthday is this month and he is 25 years old this year. (2 more days to his birthday from today!)
Nakai said that they had challenges for them. And Takasan said that Arashi is already debut for 6 years and they start off with "Arashi Arashi Oh Yeah". Matsujun said that it is not "Oh Yeah". Takasan said that he had been wrong for 6 years?? Nakai said that should be "Arashi Arashi Want Me" Nino laughed out and said that it not this interesting English word. Arashi was asked to sing A.Ra.Shi and dance along. Matsujun said that that is embarrassing but Takasan said that this is to make sure that they won't make the same mistake for the next 6 or 7 years.

Ok the dance began with small physical movements. And Nakai stopped them and said that when they just debut they are like dancing very energetically and he demo a bit. it is so funny.. Takasan commented why they had forgotten abt the feeling when they had just debut after 6 years and Arashi apologies for that. And Takasan said something like let's switch to Kattun for example.. (errr.. don't really understand this part). However, it means taking Kattun as they challenge enemy... Nakai commented that this is really embarrassing to perform debut song. Matsujun asked if he wants to perform his debut song and he answered that he prefers to have kiss scene if that's the case.

Ok it is the dance again.. and this time they are over energetic.. haha .. dancing like small kids with BIG movements. And when they are about to sing the part "Arashi Arashi" they are stopped by Takasan. And he asked where is the "Arashi Arashi" part? and they only need to perform the "Arashi Arashi" part. And Shokun's reaction is so funny, too amazed and speechless.. haha..Matsujun said that he stopped them too fast. They are abt to sing the part already. Nino said that it is in the small verse which they are abt to sing.. And Nakai imitated the way they dance again.. so bakaly cute.. but this is actually the way Arashi was dancing just now... haha...

Ok here's the dance for the 3rd time!! And finally they know it should be "Arashi Arashi for dream". Takasan said that Nakai got it all wrong, what is that "Want Me" abt?!?

Part 3 - Ohno's Bakuten

Next Challenge is the famous bakuten, the most amazing ability by the Johnny's. Representing the Utaban team is 2 brothers, the younger 6 yrs old brother was there before when Shouji and Akira appeared in Utaban. And the younger bro's Bakuten is actually very impressive.. I think no one in Johnny's can fight that cos i think the younger the better.. too old cannot flip anymore... then came the elder 9 yrs old brother and when he is doing the bakuten he hurt his head. And minna rushed to find out if he is ok. Takasan asked Arashi to sing A.Ra.Shi while he is finding out how is the elder brother's conditions. And Arashi sang the song for the 4th time. It is so funny.. And after that when the elder bro is abt to perform bakuten again. Matsujun did a very yasashii action by using his feet to make sure the mats are in the correct position. So caring of him..

Next it is Arashi's turn to do bakuten, and representing Arashi is Ohno kun. Takasan said that if he cannot do it then they will get Kattun instead of Arashi. And Arashi is like no no no .. we can do it!! Ohno chose not to have the mat and his bakuten is nicely completed. But of cos not so many flips compared to the younger brother. But personally think that it is definitely kakkoii... @>@ wow!!!!
And Ohno starts seeing stars after the bakuten. I believe that he is acting. He even did not tidy himself after that and Nino rush to pull his jacket down and Sho kun helped him to sit down. Takasan ask how is he and he said that he is seeing stars and Nakai commented that his face look like don't know what senbei (rick cracker) which I don't know what that means..

Later the younger brother performed splitting legs .. of cos Ohno cannot do it.. But I think is good enough already.. and in the end he tried to follow what the kid is doing by using his hands to support his whole body and use his legs to clap but fail and end up knocking his head on the floor! really funny to see his facial expression and other Arashi members reaction..

Next the elder brother performed again.. this one i don't know to descript the steps but is basically jumping thru a hoop and doing some somersaults. Nakai asked the 2 brothers if they think Ohno can do it or not and they actually replied that he can't.. how can you 2 look down on Ohno?? Ohno went in front of the hoop to adjust the height and he actually place the hoop quite high but Takasan told the person holding the hoop to lower the hoop as Ohno is already 25yrs old. Actually Ohno trip a bit cos the hoop is too small. Actually he will be perfect if not being the hoop too small..

On the whole i think that Ohno did not loss face of the Johnny's and did an excellent job.. Like Ohno more and more...Leader saikou!!!

Part 4 - Yoga

Actually the most interesting part in this part is the part where the teacher taught them how to breath and the 7 guys gathered in front of her and staring at her tummy..and all looking very "H" especially Nakai and the part where Takasan poke Nakai's backside with a chopstick.

On the whole this Ep of Utaban is very very funny. I nearly fall off the chair...
Utaban and Hey x 3 are always funny but think that this one is the most funny Ep for all the Utaban that I had seen so far.
The most funny one for Heyx3 is Arashi's pikanchi double promotion part where they talk abt how they joined Johnny's and the ep where Kinki played bowling with downtown

Arashi [Wish] PV

Yesterday had watched Arashi’s Wish PV. Feel that their clothes are not that nice. Red suits with black/dark inner tops. Can imagine? Then usually in groups that will wear similar clothes but with slightly different design. But this time the suits look the same to me..no difference!

This time they are singing on the roof top and there is a puppet show. The puppet story is about a poor looking male puppet trying to win the heart of a pretty, rich looking female puppet.. so it is the opposite to Hanayoridango.. which is boy rich and girl poor. The puppet show is cute. Especially the parts where Matsujun took the male puppet’s cap, Nino pick up the flowers on the floor and Sho put back the cap on the male puppet’s head.

Think quite a number of Johnny’s songs are using anime and puppets for songs. Like YamaP and Kame’s drama Nobuta Wo Produce theme song, YamaP and Kame are transform to 2 Nobuta. Kinki Kids’ 100% Liberty, where they transfer to 2 spies. And Arashi’s is the puppet show..

News of WISH PV:
嵐化身耶誕天使站在屋頂上唱歌

轟動全亞洲的漫畫「流星花園」於10月下旬躍上最新一季日劇以來,一直高居收視率前3名的紅盤佳績!而由傑尼斯超人氣偶像團體「嵐」所演唱的主題曲「WISH」更是在一推出便創下將近20萬張的熱銷量、旋即登上當週Oricon公信榜冠軍!對於這張年末單曲的好成績,成員們皆紛紛”用力”表示「這一切都多虧了松本 潤的功勞啦,你可要好好演不能讓收視率掉下來喔」,這種糖果加鞭子的稱讚反而讓松本 潤哭笑不得。

同時本身就是流星花園迷的松本 潤,更是得意地秀出作者神尾葉子為他畫的男主角「道明寺 司」的親筆畫稿,讓其他成員看得羨慕不已,乾脆親自下海演一段「流星花園」廣播劇,由相葉雅紀反串女主角牧野杉菜,一副倔強受害者的聲音搞得大家爆笑到不行!而這段難得的廣播劇也收錄成秘密曲目,當成送給歌迷的耶誕驚奇禮物!

拍攝這首充滿耶誕節風味的作品「WISH」時,嵐的五位成員也特別換上一襲紅色西裝,化身為耶誕天使站在屋頂上唱歌。在這次的音樂錄影帶裡,五人退居第二線而以可愛的木偶劇為主,但還是少不了來一段活潑輕快的舞蹈,被問到五人裡誰最快記會舞步時,眾人異口同聲回答是二宮和也,跳個2次就馬上記起來。

Arashi new singles [Wish] out on 16-Nov-05

Arashi new singles [Wish] will be out on 16-Nov-05... the same day as Kinki's G album.. beginning to think that my honeys love to attack my pocket all at once...
[Wish] is also the themesong for Matsujun's new drama harayoridango. Think that should have good sales for this singles as it is accompanied by dorama.
For myself, think I will probably try to see if I can get the limited version as it has one extra song. Heard that it is a Christmas song... can't wait to hear it...btw, in MagoMago Arashi, they mention that they will release a Chinese Single this Christmas. Wonder if it is still on. cos long time since they practice Chinese in MagoMago

Disappointment of Taiwanese Fans in the ONE album promotion held on 4-Sep

Saw from one of Arashi forum that only Matsujun appeared in the Live Conference on 4-Sep Taiwan ONE Album promotion organised by AIUEO. Some fans felt cheated cos they thought that all 5 members will appear. But turn out to be Matsujun alone. I'm of cos unable to attend the event since I'm not in Taiwan, but I can feel the "pain" of the Taiwanese fans...

btw there are rumous that Sho went to Bangkok recently.. oh god.. so near yet so far.. haha.. actually not that near. haha..but at least is only 2 hrs flight away... compared to Tokyo which is 7hrs flight away... does that make a difference??? haha *laughing at myself*

Below is the news of the event in Chinese
『嵐』台北東京連線見面會 送蛋糕為松本潤慶生

期待已久的夏末最大活動「台北←→東京連線見面會」終於在9月4日熱烈展開!從高達6000封登錄郵件裡挑選出750位幸運兒來參加這場破天荒的連線見面會,這八分之一的機率也讓歌迷擠破頭、工作人員打到手軟。

當活動一開始,依序放映出相葉雅紀、大野 智、櫻井 翔、二宮和也的畫面時,現場尖叫聲瞬間像是要將屋頂掀開似地,而當大家與影像裡的松本 潤一同倒數後,松本 潤本尊出現在連線鏡頭的那一端時,會場旋即陷入沸騰狀態。一開始松本 潤便表示很抱歉其他成員無法參加活動,同時也很關心台灣最近颱風連連,要大家小心一點,貼心的問候讓歌迷們尖叫不斷。--> cannot help but wanted to comment that is becos ARASHI (Meaning Storm) is here!!!

在現場互動遊戲的過程裡,松本 潤也透露他們五人在拍攝廣告時,曾一起到相葉雅紀老家的中國菜餐廳用餐,每人還拿了一件餐廳自製不同顏色的T恤,並在彩排練習時穿上。而當歌迷們問道嵐是如何保持良好的感情時,松本 潤也搞笑地說「其實我不曉得我們感覺算是好或不好,但因為在一起工作的時間很長,所以私底下也很少見面,可能就是因為這樣不干涉彼此的生活的有限度距離感,讓我們變得更加親密吧」。

而8月30日是松本 潤的生日,連線見面會現場也特地準備了一個超級大蛋糕來幫他慶生,同時現場歌迷清唱中文版與英文版的生日快樂歌時,松本 潤更親自在鏡頭前指揮了起來,可愛無比的表情逗得現場小女生尖叫連連。松本 潤表示在生日當天時他因為身體狀況不佳,就只有一直睡,睡醒了吃點東西繼續再睡,所以在今天的連線見面會上是他第一次吃到蛋糕,真是太感謝了。這一番動人的話語更讓許多歌迷熱淚盈眶不已。
