In the news, Satoshi kid continues to be adorable. We played mad-libs, and he couldn't stop giggling at the ridiculous stories that he made with his random verbs and nouns.

AKI: [assigns him an essay]
T: How long?
AKI: Hmm.. it's your first essay, so we'll make it very, very simple. Eight lines.
T: Really? Okay.
AKI: Maybe eight lines is too few...
T: IT'S A LOT IT'S A LOT IT'S A LOT
AKI: ... I've never seen you so active before.
T: :(
And, I think everyone has seen the
Believe animation PV already. *_____*
Pure AWESOME. Can the boys please do some seiyuu work together.
-Tatsunoko's animation style is super fluid. The moments are so smooth. The cartoonish style is cute too. Would love to see more work from them.
-All the boys were great with their voice-acting, but I think Sho, Ohno and Jun were the best. Sho sounds like a professional, Ohno has a great anime voice (when he laughed at the end, did anyone else think OMG LUFFY FROM OP?), and Jun sounds very natural. Aiba and Nino's voices were good, but they were a bit too... subdued...? Their fighting noises were awesome though!
-Is it just me, or did they cut a ton of scenes out? For one thing it feels rushed; for another, some scenes shown in previews didn't come out at all. Have a list of missing scenes:
1) The kid Sho saved crying on the balcony of the burning floor
2) A close-up of Sho pulling out of the helicopter to see the kid (in the pv, it's not a close-up)
3) Aiba walking a whole throng of animals
4) Ohno dozing off while fishing, with his parrot Perasuke (yes I checked up the name, what >:) sleeping on his head
5) Jun sprinting off on a crowded street, before the paper in his hand flutters up to the camera to reveal that it's a ticket for a fake Arashi concert
6) infamous scene with all four heroes caught and about to be blasted by pig nostril beams, only to be saved by Jun - in the PV, it cut straight to Jun catching his weapon
Does this mean they're saving up for a longer release with more voice-acting!??
PS: New
Zoomin Super clip!! In conjunction with Arashi's 10th year anniversary and Zoomin's 30th year anniversary, they're going to carry out a collaboration, where Arashi will hold some kind of live broadcast segment across Japan!
This is thanks to Nino, who in his younger days, said Arashi would become semi-regulars for Zoomin (he sobbed, "I'M NEVER SAYING SUCH RANDOM THINGS EVER AGAIN") but because they're all too busy for that now, they had to come up with something else. Hatori-san originally gave suggestions: LET'S PUT OUT A CD TOGETHER and LET'S DO A MOVIE TOGETHER. But Arashi was like, YOU JUST WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF ARASHI DON'T YOU. And Hatori-san admitted, "If I was ever forced to leave Zoomin, I'll totally join Johnny's as your manager." Arashi also called Hatori an "Arashi otaku" near the beginning! After Arashi agreed to do the live broadcast segment, the clip ended with Hatori-san sending Arashi off to their Shukudaikun broadcast and thanking the staff like a proper manager. XD Love you so much, Bird. ♥
PPS: My mom thinks Bird is handsome. orz
