3. Sakai Noriko
・If you were the judge on the Oshio Manabu and Noriko Sakai case, what will your verdict be?
・Isn't it weird the way the media has reported on Noriko Sakai???
・Did you watch Noriko Sakai's apology?


2. TOHOSHINKI
・My mom was cheated of her Tohoshinki tickets.
・I became a Tohoshinki fan after hearing Survivor, what about you?
・Do you feel embarrassed being a Tohoshinki fan?
The writer said she felt embarrassed because she's already 30. She got a reply from an Arashi fan who confessed that she's also 'old', a housewife with a kid as well but it does not interfere with being a fan.


1. ARASHI
・Is Aiba-kun the least popular member in Arashi?
When searching for Arashi members using Yahoo!, I get these results.
Matsumoto Jun - About 5,970,000 hits
Ohno Satoshi - About 5,660,000
Sakurai Sho - About 5,650,000
Ninomiya Kazunari - About 5,610,000
Aiba Masaki - About 3,670,000

Please don't judge Aiba-chan just from numbers! All the Arashi members are special in their own way. Aiba-chan works hard in varieties. And he has an October drama. You shouldn't ask such a question. Arashi and Aiba-chan have many fans, it's such an insensitive question. Just because he isn't in movies does not mean he is not popular. Anyway, what is the point of your question?

・I'm going to lend a sister's friend an Arashi album, which one do you think is the best one to introduce to a new fan?

・Am I an Arashi otaku?
I've been an Arashi fan for 5 years and am now in 1st year of junior high. My friends call me an Arashi otaku. Am I one?
-Always buy the first press CD
-Always buy first press albums too
-Even if I can't afford it, will buy magazines featuring Arashi
-In the fan club
-Own their calendars
-Room full of posters

Completely normal!!
All Arashi fans are like that☆
I'm a big Arashi fan too and the same.

[hisa-no-nikki.livejournal.com]

[mumblerm.livejournal.com]

Arashi sure is the biggest thing in Japan right now, huh:)
I hope it stays that way forever:P
Arashi totally deserves the love ♥
And I don't ever plan on stopping my Arashi obsession, so I don't think age matters at all:) Being an Arashi otaku is something to be proud of!

[mumblerm.livejournal.com]

Oh! And thank you for sharing!!!!!

[feetonheat.livejournal.com]

Ahaha Aiba. Maybe it's cuz people alr know everything about him so they don't have to search for him online. He is, after all, Super Idol Aiba Masaki no?

[ninethreeeleven.livejournal.com]

OMG.
My two biases.
I'm glad for both of the groups <3
And would anyone not love aiba miracle boy?, it's like not liking a baby kitten.

[ecyojn.livejournal.com]

Indeed!! I totally agree to the 'baby kitten' part! Amen to that!
:p He's just so full of life and zest, how can anyone resist him??! I actually thought the least liked one (if there is ever such a thing) is Sho.

ALTHOUGH, I'm completely crazy over Sho..

[eroslinx.livejournal.com]

Im proud to be called Arashi otaku no matter how old I am!
And don't worry Aiba-chan you are the most popular to me <3
Thanks for sharing!

[raven-weasley.livejournal.com]

Time album is the best album to introduce a new fan :)

[missa-niera.livejournal.com]

if all fans r like that, no such otaku when u r an Arashi's fan, ne!! XD
when i 1st fall in the fandom, i do rily think Matsujun is the most popular n i dont think Aiba has a fan.. (i know, i mean >,<)
but after know them, everyone has their own place in my heart! n aiba is the least favorite? no, he is the Arashi's sweetheart~~

p/s: i always think TIME is their best album..n Dream A*live n of course 1999-2009 All The Best r good too~

[guppy-chan.livejournal.com]

being an arashi otaku is something to be proud of! aiba-chan is the mood maker of arashi cos he always in high tension! arashi wont be arashi without one of them! thanks for sharing!

[keniichan.livejournal.com]

thx for sharing this..about the number..its nothing..for me all the arashi member is SAIKO!!ne~

[unapproachable.livejournal.com]

lol it's crazy how popular they are now, topping the lists everywhere.
seems like they can easily stay on for another 10 years! :)

[archie-07.livejournal.com]

I want to be an arashi otaku so much T.T
Envy those who can buy their albums, singles.
When I started loving Arashi, I didn't pay much attention to Aiba cuz he seems not really popular compared to other members. But now I love all of them, Aiba has his own style and characteristic and he works really hard. I appreciate that.
Love Arashi, love Aiba and My Girl (both single and drama)

[karened.livejournal.com]

haha the last question was soooo funny. well, 5% of the world are arashi otakus then. XP

Aniwes, I liked the one about THSK (Or however it's abbreviated)...this shows the difference between arashi and THSK fans! Or maybe it's because the THSK fandom isn't that mature in Japan yet. But, us arashi fans are proud to be arashi fans...no (or just a little, sometimes, once in a blue moon) embarrassment at all!

[purasuti.livejournal.com]

If you talk about Arashi, here is come Aiba-chan.. :DD
Arashi is really Something now.. xD They always in TOP 3.. wow!! 8D

[ecyojn.livejournal.com]

AHH!! Your icon!!!!

[dfl-123.livejournal.com]

Aiba-chan! Watashi no ichiban, ima mo, mirai mo, itsu demo!!

[chikage-eiji.livejournal.com]

is completely normal to become Arashi otaku yo...
I'm just the beginner Arashi otaku since I like them just one year ago.... and I bought their 1st press cd since then... XD
demo ne, I'm also happy coz One Piece in top 10 too :P

[yorii-chan.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the great news!
My two biggest loves are 1st and 2nd, I'm kinda happy :)

[bunny1028.livejournal.com]

well..my guess is right!!haha..
tnx for sharing

thanks for sharing^^

[frenz-4-everz.livejournal.com]

Maybe not everyone knows abt Aiba well, that's why they think that he's not popular. i was like that when i first started liking Arashi, but once you watch a lot of arashi vids and stuff, you find that Arashi will not be complete without Aiba. He thus became my favourite member^^ But i still love them all xD

I'm an Arashi otaku, and i'm proud of it!

[ohsyojdub.livejournal.com]

LOL. Yep. That's normal for fans. XD
Thanks for sharing! :)

[lovestormbaby.livejournal.com]

it's okayyy aiba. i love you most!!! :DDD
i love the rest too though!!!

[annacamillex3.livejournal.com]

omg aiba!! <3 you're still my favorite! :3

thanks for sharing these results! :D

[mysticknots.livejournal.com]

"Even if I can't afford it, will buy magazines featuring Arashi"
This has become a problem for my wallet too XD

And I really don't think there is a least popular member. My ichiban is Riida partly cos he was how I got to know about Arashi, but once you like them, you love all 5 of them. They come in a set 8D
