It's getting to be that time of year again...
This post is mainly for Becky. I’m not sure how interested she’ll be now, but about a year ago we were discussing Johnny’s Countdown and she mentioned her hesitance to watch some of the earlier years because she wasn’t sure how much screentime Arashi got. I’m kind of a Countdown junkie, so I highly recommend watching them in full, but I decided to write out a list of all the musical numbers and participants in each one. This way it will hopefully make for easy reviewing and skipping around.
General notes: I decided to start with 2003-2004, because this seemed to be the point when Countdown stopped being so J-Friends focused and moved into the format it has today. (Don’t get me wrong, I adore J-Friends with a burning passion and appreciate that without them we wouldn’t have a countdown at all, but this was just what served my purposes best.) All these files can be found here, although this is not where I got all of mine from, so the timestamps might be a bit off, I don’t know. And my copy of the 2003-2004 Countdown is the DVD version, which means that it lacks some things that were in the live broadcast but includes backstage footage. Which is awesome, but for continuity’s sake I feel kind of bad that I don’t have the live version.
Labeling: I think this is all pretty self explanatory, but just in case. Song title followed by original artist name in parenthesis is the general format. If nothing comes after that, it means that the original artist is performing that song. If I have "Performed by" written after it, that means someone else is singing it instead. "Joined by" means that someone else is singing it along with the original artist. "With" refers to people who appear significantly during the song but are not officially performing. Oh, also, I can’t really recognize any juniors aside from Ikuta Toma and MA, so those are the only ones I marked down, lol.

Hopefully someone will make good use of this list, but if not, at least it was a lot of fun to put together! Here’s hoping 2009-2010 will be another good one. :)
General notes: I decided to start with 2003-2004, because this seemed to be the point when Countdown stopped being so J-Friends focused and moved into the format it has today. (Don’t get me wrong, I adore J-Friends with a burning passion and appreciate that without them we wouldn’t have a countdown at all, but this was just what served my purposes best.) All these files can be found here, although this is not where I got all of mine from, so the timestamps might be a bit off, I don’t know. And my copy of the 2003-2004 Countdown is the DVD version, which means that it lacks some things that were in the live broadcast but includes backstage footage. Which is awesome, but for continuity’s sake I feel kind of bad that I don’t have the live version.
Labeling: I think this is all pretty self explanatory, but just in case. Song title followed by original artist name in parenthesis is the general format. If nothing comes after that, it means that the original artist is performing that song. If I have "Performed by" written after it, that means someone else is singing it instead. "Joined by" means that someone else is singing it along with the original artist. "With" refers to people who appear significantly during the song but are not officially performing. Oh, also, I can’t really recognize any juniors aside from Ikuta Toma and MA, so those are the only ones I marked down, lol.
