[Translation] Popcorn Special Site & Email
Unfortunately I wasn't able to translate all of the Jweb AraFes content because it got taken down before I had time to get to it ~_~ This time I was smart and took screen caps.
So far I've translated the Popcorn email and the member messages. I'll update this post with the rest of the "Topics" section of the special site soon.
Popcorn★Email
Ohno: It's on sale today! Arashi is going to talk to you about our new album "Popcorn" in round table discussion form~!
Arashi: Yuup!!
Aiba: This time when the radio staff listened to our whole album, they said the first song "Welcome to our party" was the best opening song of any of our albums!
Sakurai: That's amazing!
Aiba: They said it sounds like an opening song. And that it's really addictive. It's a little complicated though, isn't it!? Like what songs did we have before...
Ohno & Ninomiya & Matsumoto & Sakurai: Whoa whoa whoa whoa. (lol)
Matsumoto: Putting out a new album and hearing that it's the best of the best makes me happy!
Sakurai: I'm glad the songs were put in this order! I think the album has a great song order. (lol)
Aiba: Don't shuffle it, I want you to listen to it in order the first time!
Ninomiya: At least for the first time. (lol)
Aiba: Sho-chan wrote the rap for "Welcome to our party," and as we're all rapping the chorus is super dancing, it's a happy song!
Ninomiya: You make me want to listen to it～!
Ohno: "Dancing and..."
Matsumoto: You mean "dancing and it's happy?" (lol)
Sakurai: He said it so old school. (lol)
Aiba: You start moving, right! Your body does!
Sakurai: What song does Aiba-san like best?
Aiba: After trying the choreography, I came to like "Up to you." The choreography was done by Leader.
Sakurai: By Master Ohno!
Aiba: It makes it soo fun!
Ohno: Seriously!?
Aiba: It's cute, even the choreography! I think it'll get people pumped during concerts!
Ohno: I'm glad～～
Sakurai: I'm looking forward to it!
Aiba: I'll do my best! ...er, now it sounds like I'm going to do it by myself. (lol)
Ninomiya: Do your best (lol)!
Ohno & Matsumoto: Nahahahaha (lol)
The round table discussion continues!
The rest will be on the Johnny's web "Popcorn" album release special site under Topics!

Arashi's NEW album "Popcorn" comes out on October 31st
There are lots of pop songs on it, and all of the singles from Meikyuu Love Song to Your Eyes
We're going to perform the songs from this album on our dome tour.
Last year we couldn't go to all 5 domes, so I'm glad that we can hold concerts at all 5 domes this year.
I hope it becomes a great concert that you can all enjoy.
Let's all have fun concerts together~
Matsumoto Jun
You can all finally listen to it
Our album, "Popcorn".
This time we made the theme "Let's make a pop album
" so we put together some cheerful and fun songs. We of course included "Akashi" and "Kakenukero!" so it's full of lots of great songs.
This time we not only had fun with the songs, we were also allowed to play around when making the CD jacket.
I'm sure you'll have fun looking at our Popcorn outfits
For my solo song I tried singing funk for the first time.
Please enjoy that too
I think we've put together an album that you can listen to endlessly
Please give it a listen
Ninomiya Kazunari
Popcorn is coming ou~t
Ya~y
Awesome~
So we've got a new album.
This album was put together with a focus on pop songs, but I wonder if Ninomiya-san's solo is really pop
......Well, I think you'll probably still have some doubts (lol), but please listen to it and make your decision (lol).
So on October 31st
It's coming out
Please
Support us [yoropiku ne]
Ohno Satoshi
Hey there~ I~t's Ohno
So, our new album "Popcorn"
This time the album has cheerful pop songs, so there are songs unlike any we've done before; we put together various types of songs to make an extraordinarily pop-ish album~
I like them all, but I think my favorite is Cosmos~. I think it's a song unlike any Arashi has ever done before~
I wanna know which songs you guys like~
Also once again there are solos included for each member, and mine is called "two". This time we tried using a higher key for the whole song
If you're interested please listen to it (lol). Everyo~ne, listen to it lots okay~
I'll do my best with the to~ur

Sakurai Sho
Hello.
It's me. It's Sakurai.
Our new album "Popcorn."
We made a great one.
The songs are great too, but even the jacket is crazy.
...Hm?
We're not goofing off or anything like that.
We just got a little too into it, that's all.
Yes.
All of the singles from "Meikyuu Love Song" on are included.
It ranges from songs almost a year old to freshly recorded new pieces.
It's certainly!
Excellent all the way through!!
(Triumphant face)
Please support us. m(_)m

★Special Round Table Discussion★
Here the members will talk in round table discussion format about the appeal of the album "Popcorn".
Aiba: Which songs do you all like from "Popcorn"?
Ninomiya: What song does Ohno-san like? You've listened to this album a lot right!?
Aiba: I want to know which song Ohno, who has listened to it a lot, likes~!
Ohno: "Akashi"!
Matsumoto & Sakurai & Aiba & Ninomiya: Eeeeeeh!?
Sakurai: You didn't even do the choreography for that one. (lol)
Matsumoto: You even listened to the ones that you didn't have to choreograph, right!?
Ohno: I listened to the ones I choreographed too much, so it made me want to hear "Akashi". The more you listen to it the better it gets!
Ninomiya: So that's how you enjoyed yourself. (lol)
Sakurai: What about MatsuJun?
Matsumoto: Rather than "which song," for me it's "the whole thing." Continuing on from last year's "Beautiful World" and the one before it "Boku no Miteiru Fuukei", the entire "Popcorn" album was made with the theme "POP" so it has a lot of cheerful songs and has a high energy feel.
Ninomiya: It really is "POP".
Matsumoto: I think it's good to have fun within that world view, and as Aiba-kun said, if you listen to all 16 songs in order starting with the first song, then go back to the first song again, it's a really easy to listen to album!
Aiba: Yeah!
Matsumoto: Also even if you shuffle each song it's good. Or if you make your own playlist. I think it's an album that you can enjoy a lot of different ways!
Ninomiya: What about Sho-san?
Sakurai: I also like "Up to you". Because I always think the album is over after the 15th song "Akashi."
Ninomiya: Oooh~ I see!
Sakurai: "Whoa! It's still going!? There's one more song!?" I like how "Up to you" makes you do a double take like that. It's like having curry for dessert! Like "you're still eating!?"!
Ninomiya: Like "It actually keeps going!?" I like ones like "Tabi wa Tsuzuku yo".
Aiba: That's a good one~
Ninomiya: Also "Cosmos". We actually haven't done any songs like these before. Because it's Arashi singing they still have a sense of familiarity, but I felt that they were unexpectedly types of songs we haven't done before.
Ohno: You're right. I also especially like "Cosmos."
Aiba: They're unpredictable. Speaking of "unusual," the jacket is pretty "POP" too. We turned into popcorn. We had fun with it, but I'm looking forward to see what the reactions are (lol).
Sakurai: The jacket for the first press version, you mean~
Matsumoto: Should we have goofed off for the regular edition (lol)!?
Sakurai: It also comes with a picture book. How groundbreaking!
Matsumoto: We're selling a CD but it comes with a picture book.
Sakurai: It's not just music anymore. It's comprehensive entertainment!
Ninomiya: That means we're a comprehensive entertainment group.
Aiba: That's a big statement. (lol)
Ohno: We're doing a lot of stuff this time. Wearing headpieces, putting in a picture book. If you sum it up in one word, it's POP, POP!! This album is POP all over!
Sakurai: Even just in one sentence he said "POP" three times (lol).
Arashi: Please listen to our POP album!!
So far I've translated the Popcorn email and the member messages. I'll update this post with the rest of the "Topics" section of the special site soon.
