Finally, my Arashi goods from yesasia.com arrived last week. I got two singles and a concert DVD. The singles are Sakura, and 青空の下、キミのとなり [あおぞら の した、 きみ の となり] [Aozora no Shita, Kimi no Tonari], which appears to be something about being next to you under the blue sky, and is the theme for Aiba’s latest drama. I like them overall ( Read more... )

I've never heard All-American Boy before, but I like this version very much, especially coupled with the video. The artist has Facebook and a Bandcamp page if you want to download the track and "name your price". Help support the talent :)

Got my Arashi goodies from YesAsia.com today. I feel like I’ve been waiting ages. I bought the new Popcorn album, the 2012 Arafes concert DVD「嵐 フェス」and Your Eyes single CD.

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 have both concert DVDs for this tour and if I had know there was a special Tokyo Dome edition coming out I wouldn’t have pre-ordered the first DVD, but now I’m glad I did because while ( Read more... )

I’m puzzled, I’m not sure how to translate this album title into English. Not surprising as I don’t really know what I’m doing, but that’s beside the point, I Like to try anyway

Today my 嵐 Arashi CD 果てない空 (はてない そら ~ Hatenai Sora) arrived from yesasia.com, It means Endless Sky or something similar.

I like the Christmas song best, あの日のメリークリスマス (Ano Hi no Meri- Kurisumasu / Ano Hi no Merry Christmas), but that could change as I haven’t had a really good listen yet ( Read more... )
