 UPDATE
Cyzo, ＜Already overtakes Smap!? Arashi doesn’t stop their power in sales and audience rate!> DVD “5×10 All the BEST！ CLIPS 1999-2009” records 420k initial sales and ranked no1. of Oricon raking. It overtakes 370K sales of “Real Face Film” by Kat-tun released 2006, record first ever No.1 in Oricon history. Music industry people are surprised with their phenomenal initial sales figure. Also current no1 DVD sales of the year is so far “ARASHI AROUND ASIA 2008 in TOKYO”, sold 410K. So this mean initial sale straightly gets no.1 of year. So it must seems they will dominate no.1 & “ of yearly ranking. So far also Single CD they dominate NO.1 &2 and album is no.1. Arashi’s strength which never stops seems, unexpected collateral effect occurred. “Exile and TVXQ released DVD same day. Before releasing the battle in high level by 3 major groups was anticipated. It was more than expected. Exile battled bravely, sold 220K. They hit best sales of their own sales. They couldn’t win by the strength of Arashi. As the booking beyond all expectations, so production didn’t catch up so arrival of goods was delayed.” CD shop staff said. Arashi marks debut 10^th anniversary on 3 Nov. Their CD and magazine sales bear down others but many criticized they didn’t get high audience rate. But “storm of the surprise! Big experiment of the century!! Live experimental concert special!!” aired the other day. Average audience rate was 23 % and maximum was 29%. Fuji TV long life show “Smap Smap” it used to hit usually over 20%. The show helped by Kinki-kid aired 26 October was 16.2% and the show with Erika Toda & Shota Matsuda aired 2 Nov was 14.2%. It is not bad but comparing their peak their popularity begins to decline. The show with Mariko Ishihara that cause problem only 10.7%. This can’t be possible as Smap and a fatal figure. Is possible Arashi will get the position of “national idol” instead of Smap? I want to keep watch Johnny’s agency’s generation transition.

[aatash.livejournal.com]

The title is such a mouthful. ^^; But to celebrate Arashi's tenth anniversary, and as a belated gift back to this wonderful fandom, I've done a translation of the group talk in the latest Anniversary Issue of Arashi's FC pamphlet.

Go here to read about Arashi's thoughts on Kokuritsu, Fukuoka Dome, and their gratitude for fans in general. Bonus: Jun complaining that he had to wash swimming trunks after the concert. Enjoy! ♥

PS: Stay tuned for member interviews as well! Aiba's interview on his "My Girl" progress report and Ohno's interview on "Guests of Room #0" are up.
