Recently bought the Beautiful World tour DVD, singles Wild at Heart (ワイルドアットハート) and Face Down and the Arashi photo book Nippon no Arashi (ニッポンの嵐). I can’t actually read the book, but there are a lot of pictures and one day I’ll have a go at translating something… someday… it’s a goal to aspire to, that and my Deadlock books!
Someone’s left a review of the book at the YesAsia website, which reminds me, proceeds go to the earthquake relief fund.
http://www.yesasia.com/global/arashi-nippon-no-arashi/1024447183-0-0-0-en/info.html I always get my Arashi goodies from YesAsia and have to save up for a few things at once to get free postage otherwise the cost is ridiculous. I’d just placed the order when I found out the “Your Eyes” single was coming out, so annoying that I just missed getting it with this batch.
I really like the singles, especially “Wild at Heart”, and have enjoyed the concert DVD twice already, but I like the Scene Tour concert DVD better! It’s the same venue, but in “Scene” the group seem to have more interaction, there’s the cute Juntoshi kiss, Kaibutsu Kun, and a great medley and dance section, that the song Showtime leads into, which I love, but I’m still pleased to have my own copy of the new concert. I do wish they’d included Sho’s birthday surprise in the extras!
