UPDATE
Soup de Okoge new CM on air.
Rei Yoshi-san (More Itto writer) blog I have done individual interview several times... it was after long time I did cross talk. it was so fun. I actually don't have many works of cross talk,  interview of one for one has feeling to extremely concentrate facing to interview partner. Cross talk is completely different. Interview does mainly facilitation and process. then watch the relation of group and enjoy their talk, I become audience too. So that day too I enjoyed talked of 5. I think its amusement must be expressed on the pages. I realized their faces of cross talk is different from one to one interview. when there are 5, they became faces of 5. This year I did interview of Aiba-kun at Orista. at solo interview I felt how he is honest and sensitive beyond my imagination. That time I could hear very interesting story but at cross talk he was teased by 4 and makes burst into laugher, he looks so pleasant. As he could accomplished his role? his smile shines particularly. I realized he prefers himself to make enjoy people genuinely than talking serious matter. That is professional mind after all this could be his subtlety. this month Itto was interviewed much more later than report of 5. I surprised again transformation ratio of Ninomiya-kun again( I actually does every time.) I think this could be expressed by word and face. Contrary person is just one of his persona, after all in depth he is honest, this is his good thing too. Solo tune that he talked at previous issue has been changed  but it's good tune. I think He worked a lot since than, About tune, If I have time I hope I write it.
More love supplement  teach me Rei Yoshi senior! , Hello More girls! Have you read this month issue? This is 400th special. men festival. Arashi is cover. this is first cover by men of More. However there're many men on female magazine, if it's Arashi It doesn't feel strangeness at all. Actually they are clean and charm. Rei Yoshi participated as one of staff (Interviewer and writing)  I have various feedback, at first what I thought was "It's good male group." this could be very natural but for her it's rare. I know many girl have feeling of "liking men group" so there're passionate female fans of Johnny's talent and other groups, rock band, Hanadan, Rookies (baseball drama) and football team. Girls likes relationships and bond of men in the group. So me as interviewer I listen and write caring about it. But personally I didn't have group I like a lot. but Arashi's strength of group superbly strong. it's so fun as an audience and you can feel happy. 5 characters and common denominator, that balance and togetherness..... etc. their team strength is so rare, so that's why there're many projects that 5 handle even CM or magazine. On the day of interview of More. They looked very chummy as ever. What I laughed a lot is seating position of interview. I wrote in the magazine too. 4 sat on 3 seaters sofa except Sakurai-kun. Matsumoto-kun who has hard schedule because of drama got priority at first I think. Ohno-kun next to him, Nino who always attached to Ohno-kun, then it seems Aiba-kun sat last as he get scorched by Nino "it's hot" But he keeps sitting with smile despite it. It seems he like to be in the laugh by all. I laughed "you don't need to be so packed. " but this reminds me Arashi, I run into them at TV company for interview of More. That time 5 sat in a small sofa. It was just like puppies in a small box. I interview one by one. each is honest, mature and an interesting mature guy. but when they get 5, they are really so chummy, viewer and even themselves must be supported by their relationships. I realized they are really nice. So the detail is, please read "More." Girls feel sympathy and learn from Arashi a lot too. at human related special article we call More generation (late 20's) as Arashi generation. This is not about same generation, their "ism" is common to More's "ism", I feel so having interview with them. They care about consistency, togetherness, warmth, cleanness caring about "ordinariness as human", they are positive and keep each originality too. rather than dream about large scale dream, care about daily work and life, current instant, love people surround you. That is common"ism" with Arashi, I thing, I think this is natural Arashi did cover of "More" . as this could be linked by fate as Nino has serial at More.

Cut blog, I think fans of original, mage hair men, cast, movie must look forward to this movie. What I got excited hearing this movie, "co-satrring of Ninomiya-kun and Sadawo Abe!!! so I did it, debate of Kazunari Ninomiya-kun x Sadawo Abe. They talked a lot, first meeting having difficulty with word in past, inside story they have been to dinner with male cast. This will be on the "Cut" release on 18 Sep. don't forget it. And I have been to Kyoto when they were shooting Ohoku. This is to take picture of shooting site and interview with cast. the person we took photos are Kazunari Ninomiya-san, Kou Shibasaki-san, Maki Horikita-san, Tadayoshi Ohokura-san, Aoi Nakamura=san, Hiroshi Tamaki-san, Sadawo Abe-san, Kuranosuke Sasaki-san. This will be on the "H" release end of September with making pictures at site too.
J-web, Løve Rainbow site updated. 5 came to studio one to another for shooting of cover. the person who chat holding each other shoulders are Ninomiya and Ohno. Ninomiya shows smile and makes throw a deuce. "yoroshiku!" making cool face. Ohono surprise his sudden slily greeting and smile kind of "suddenly what happen? " Then Aiba, Matsumoto and Sakurai came to Studio saying "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." That day Sakurai in layered T-shirts, "Today is in double T-shirts." he explains then Aiba and Matsumoto laugh.They are already in happy harmony before shooting.. They change and did make-up. Aiba who has over earlier than others. sat in the break space. "I feel slightly hungry. I take it now and eat a lot later....  but eat too much in evening is not good to your health. So I eat now." He bites lunch box. Matsumoto who appears next "Oh! me too."They charge energy together.  Then cover shooting has been started. In front of camera they make soft facial expression. Once Matsumoto gestures playing guitar,Ninomiya play drums, Aiba hums.They did movement of session in ad-lib. next to them Ohno and Sakurai who move their body taking rhythm in hyper. Matsumoto raise a cry "hiiii!!" they seems hyper. But once director requests "do kind of you make it cool."  They drastically change the face.  They show strong eyes to camera. Meanwhile expressive shooting progress they take breaks for adjustment of machine. then Sakurai murmurs "What I eat today's dinner?" It seems he doesn't have good idea. "He repeats "what should  i do?"  Ohno says "Anything must be fine." it seems he is not interested in. then he forces to ask "heh, what would be good?"  "Ohno makes "shhh!" he tres to get over this topic. this repeated. Ninomiya says "Stop fighting.!" Sakurai added to this "hey, what should I do?"  "Shhh" by Ohno  "stop fighting" by Ninomiya, fighting short skit repeated. Ohno who lost his patience announced a  menu  "So, kid's lunch!" Sakurai, Ninomiya and other staffs laughed with his unexpected answer. And Matsumoto asks to Aiba "What is better Sho-san eat for dinner? ""I'm full now."he answers stupid answer. the shooting progress in noise. but, once they are in font of camera they change face and they get glittering atmosphere that is match to tune's world of view. once at last cut. "How is it? Is it good?" Matsumoto says and dash off to monitor. other members follow him. Finally okay.  then "Thank you very much." Arashi make smile.

ANNOUNCEMENT: ORGANIZERS NEEDED FOR OHNO PARTY

[leiyah-chan.livejournal.com]

  Calling all Philippines-based Arashi fans!

Yes! You read it right! We are in dire need for additional organizers for the Ohno party which is to happen on November 27, 2010. However, please do refer to the following information below:

1. As much as possible, we want the organizers to be a member of the working force. It's not that we are singling out those who are students. We all know that in order to organize an event, we need moolah.. Money.. Okane or however you'd call it xD We do accept students though but we'll refer to them as "Junior Organizers". As much as possible, we DO return the money after the event (if there's something left)
2. We are recruiting organizers from various Arashi Philippines-based community.
3. We need people/fans who are dedicated and dead-set on making this event a success. Meaning, they are people who are willing to give extra (and I do mean EXTRA) time and effort. We, the organizers, tend to meet at least twice a week until the day of the event. 
4. People who are willing to spread the word and gather attendees for the event. What's an event if there's no attendees? Of course, even if you're not part of the organizing committee, you are very much welcomed to drag your Arashi fan friends along ^0^ 
5. We don't really mind if you guys are new in the fandom. All we need are fans who dedicate themselves to this event. 

Interested? If you are, please do email me at lei.bautista@ymail.com or SMS me at 0917-907-34-14 or 0922-842-44-03.

Thanks a lot and hope to receive a positive reply from you guys!

re: rumour article about Jun's birthday.

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Please note that the gossip blog article posted previously in the community about how Arashi celebrated Jun's birthday with an extravagant party is false.

According to Jun's latest Natsu no Michishirube, he received texts and presents from the members-- all of them except for Ohno, that is. Nino gave him a practice mat for golf putting, Aiba gave him "eccentric" clothes, and Sho gave him a halfket (Japanese blankets that are half the size of a normal blanket). He also received presents from the staff and cookies from Takeuchi Yuko. I haven't seen the full text of the entry in question up anywhere yet, but talk of that Jweb entry is all over Japanese fans' blogs, some revealing more details than others.

So again: please do not believe that article as it was entirely made up.

EDIT: There is a translation here, but I'm going to leave this entry up as it bears repeating.
