Just saw the VS Arashi episode where they had the kouhai group Johnny's West as guests. I've always liked it when Arashi interacts with other J&A groups whether sempai or kouhai. I must admit my favorite is when they have Kanjani8 as guests. Those guys are so funny.
When I was new in the Arashi fandom 9 years ago, I've dipped my toes in other J&A groups as well especially NewS and KAT-TUN. They were the popular groups back then. However, I fell completely in love with Arashi and those other groups had their stuff going on too - mainly Yamapi and Jin going solo and I realized I really like cohesive groups - and I just focused my attention to Arashi. It's really time consuming to be their fan, you know. They star in so many dramas, they have their own variety shows and they appear in a lot of magazines. Add real life and it became difficult to get to know other J&A groups. It's not that I'm not interested, it's just I simply don't have time to be interested.
After watching that VS Arashi ep, I find myself curious about Johnny's West and I want to check them out. I also want to check out other groups like Hey Say Jump and Sexy Zone. I remember seeing a Sexy Zone PV shown in a local Jpop Mini Festival here and I also remember being curious about them. But I guess nothing panned out.
Let's see if I find time.
