Singles much?

[matsubunny]

Well i don't know if you will like or agree to this, but i need my place to be free and let go what i think.

As far as i know some people have been complained about Love Rainbow, Dear Snow and now Hatenai Sora singles.

Some might be worried about over-exposure in Japan, well, the only ones who will follow them blindy in every show will be Arashi fans

WORD! I like your post a lot and it represents my actual feelings about it.

thank you! i felt that i needed to write it this time <3

Good two cents. Thanks for sharing!

Honestly, being a new fan, I am thankful that they are at the top of their game at the moment so I am lapping them and their appearances all the time.

I have to admit that I am amazed at the amount of things that they are involved in, and in a weird way, it gives me the boost to go through my days in the mindset that "if Arashi can work this hard, so can I".

However, in their appearances of late, they have been looking a little tired, but understandably as they have also been rehearsing for a concert. The Idol's expiry date is (usually) short, so it is understandable that they are taking everything as much as they can while they are on top.

I really do hope that behind what we can see, they are taking extra care of their health as they are not as young as they used to be, although seeing other older bands, they've still got lots more years in them! :)

Thank you for reading <3

I always try to do my best as well when i see them working so hard :D

Well..now that they're uber popular have more people to take care of them compared of years ago.

So i hope they're taking more care of themselves as well ^^;;

*clap, clap, clap, clap, clap*

Oh dear!! This post left me with this face -> OwO!
Your words are really good! Actually, I'm kind of tired of ppl complaining about Arashi releasing this much. I mean, if you don't want to buy, don't buy!
Arashi is doing their job, and JE is grabbing the chance to make money, bc, after all, that's what JE is there for, deshou?

I've also seen ppl arguing about the quality of the songs... I loved all of their singles up until now, and the last one, Dear Snow, is pure ♥ to me~

So that's it! Ppl who doesn't like the situation: stay out! Life is difficult enough to go around complaining and moaning bc Arashi is releasing the 6th single of the year!

I love you so much my dear~~~☆

hey i don't read your comment, but we said same thing <3
so-chan you are my soulmate XDD

[matsubunny]

i think the demand of Arashi by tv channels and such is soo big right now that they are not appearing that much (considering the demand xD) or doing too many projects (since now they only doing one drama per season and member though i hope we have aiba and ohchan dramas in winter season)

The quality..well i've been falling in love with the songs, though i dont love Love Rainbow too much i have the "nana iro no phrase" part stuck in my head xDD And Dear Snow is love!

I've read some comments about people saying that they got "poissoned" by another fans saying that it's just too much, so they kinda started to think like this as well, so that's why i wrote this

I'm glad you mentioned this. I think people really don't seem to get that the industry is quite different than in the US or EU, and that there are reasons in addition to greed why JE needs to make money, and Arashi is a high seller, and like all idol bands, has a limited shelf life at this level of popularity and just in terms of age and it's quite honestly unreasonable to assume that their label won't capitalize on it

[matsubunny]

Thank you for reading the post and for replying to it.

Yes, japanese market (or well..better said asian market) does not work like EU or US ones.

Yup we dunno why but like to be nostalgic and oh GRA sucked so much xD i couldnt watch more than a few episodes ^^;; And i actually like the shows now, still getting used to Shiyagare, but shukudai-kun sucked so much in the beginning (and then was pure crack) but people dont remember this xD

They're currently waiting for the bubble to burst and they're a bit worried about what to do afterwards, but i think just doing what they've been doing till now, will be okay. Also they being worried about this kinda makes me happy, since this means that they're currently enjoying right now and want to keep working hard.

Again, thank you for ur comment, i really enjoyed it <3

Just ignore those people who call themselves fans and they're getting tired of them...

I understand their sentiments and as you said they're worried about the boys.. But they deserve this chance and they came a loonng way to be in this position.

Arashi is not SMAP. Arashi has a long way to go... But I hope that they won't compare arashi and SMAP... they made a name for themselves and they want to establish themselves as Arashi not taking over SMAP...

[matsubunny]

Ah i've been not reading their comments, i think i read 1-2 closed the tab xD. But some fans told me that they were maybe poissoned by people thinking like this so they start thinking that they might be right.

Yes, SMAP is SMAP and Arashi is Arashi, they dont and dont want to be like them because it would be just a copy then.

Thanks for reading ne! <3
