Is really nice to know which are the “Arashi best”
I was influenced by Kinki “the best” album and “25 years” of SMAP. I wanted to know what about Arashi songs and their upcoming 20th anniversary.
How I did the count of the tour? It wasn’t easy at all. First of all I only took the DVD released ones, because it's easy to have reliable source of the setlist. And the second point is I didn’t took the “special concerts”
AAA
5x10
ARAFES 2012
ARAFES 2013
BLAST IN MIYAGI
BLAST IN HAWAII
JAPONISM IN ARENA
These concerts are specials, and I try to count the songs of annual tours specially the encore part.
If you want a precise account of every song Arashi released and the live performance check the wonderful spreadsheet of
projectpaprika.
The second part I based on my own previous post of “arashi in music programs” and “sales post”.
Johnny’s Countdown is the new year concert, but since 1997 is aired on Fuji Tv and other regionals stations. There’s a JC part isn't’ aired before 11PM and some CM time too, for this particular chart I only care about the aired content.
Arashi have almost 400 songs, wow!. Like all the fans I have a couple of favourites, not all 400 songs. They are just 10 songs really special for me … between them one never been performed live. 😢
For me is interesting know the sales isn’t related to the songs they chose for TV or concerts. Also, as far as I know (because I can’t find a reliable data about that *help me*) the songs more performed aren’t related with fans’ choice (like they did in arafes).
So, which are the songs more performed in TV? *drums*

I’m sorry but I can’t do fancy graphics about it, If someone wants to It will be really helpful. Of course statistics aren't exact, but can give us some references.
See, sometimes things are a little different of what we expected.
I know there are songs more promoted by the Agency than others. But, I like to think there are songs specials for them too. As an Aiba fan I can figure out what are those, I would like all of them would be more open about music taste.
EDIT: This post was in drafts since november, but It's takes so long to find the right data and some beautiful images. Now based on the Arashi Hiatus I will posted just like it was in drafts without the nice and beautiful images. Sorry..
