Popular group・Arashi's newest live DVD 『ARASHI LIVE TOUR Popcorn』(released on the 24th) sold 580,000 copies in its first week, ranking 1st in the Oricon Weekly DVD Ranking for the week of 5/6.

With this work, Arashi has acquired an overall first place in the DVD category--9 times in a row since 『SUMMER TOUR 2007 FINAL Time-Kotoba no Chikara-』(released April 2008) and 11 times in total. With this, Arashi has become the only one in history to make a record for most consecutive first place works and most first place works in total for music DVDs. They have brilliantly achieved first place in history for both consecutive AND total number of works.

On top of that, Arashi has already achieved first place in history for: music DVD first week number of sales (624,000 copies) with 『ARASHI ARAFES』(released December 2012), music DVD accumulative number of sales (893,000 copies) with 『5×10 All the BEST!CLIPS 1999-2009』(released October 2009), and total number of music DVDs sold by an artist with 7,229,000 copies. With the addition of 2 more categories from this time's DVD, they have dominated 5 major DVD categories in total, achieving this accomplishment for the first ever in history.

In this work,  they have recorded the Tokyo Dome stage from December of their live tour "ARASHI LIVE TOUR Popcorn" which was held from November last year until January this year in the 5 major city domes in Japan. The first press edition comes in a special package and includes a 60 page booklet.
