I've been wondering about this for a while and just want to ask some of you out there, "What other artist and groups do Arashi listen to?"

I know of a few that they listen to, but for some reason I want to make a list of this. I just like to know these things because maybe some of their inspiration comes from these artist when they write their own music. Or maybe get more in dept with their personality.

This list doesn't have to be only their favorite artist. It can be at least names that mention listening to once, or concerts that they've been to, or artist they listen to as kids.

I'm really curious about this and maybe some of you are too. So if everyone here can help me out, and share some great information with each other, I'd really appreciate it. ^^~

Edit: Thank you everyone! You mentioned a lot of good names and information about Arashi. You all were sooo helpful. ^^

For some reason the only thing I can remember off the top of my head is that Nino says he always listens to game soundtracks and for a while Matsujun used to sing the Ponyo song to himself - but I'm sure if I think about it for a bit longer I'll remember something actually useful ^^

Not sure if it`s relevant but :

"I always liked singing," Ninomiya says. "When I was in the car with my family we'd always play music. I liked American bands, and I went to a Bon Jovi concert when they came to Tokyo Dome. Also Backstreet Boys. When I go to concerts by Japanese musicians, I tend to study them. But American musicians entertain me."

Long ago in Wink Up Jun said he liked Brian Eno. He also loves Micheal Jackson and Madonna is his ideal type of woman, so I guess she's on board to :D

I was wondering the same thing! I kind of check all the translation of JunStyle from kikinini at vox and I made a playlist of all the song he has played and I was wondering if he selects the music he plays and if he really likes the music. He has play a lot of Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Black Eyed Peas, R&B etc.

Oh and I forgot... I don't know where I read it but he likes Ryuichi Sakamoto a lot. I think it was on Hanamaru Cafe that he said he was a fan! And Ryuichi Sakamoto totally rocks! The best pianist EVER!

i agree with what everyone else is saying here.
i hear ohno's particular favorite genre is R&B or something like his solos "rain" and "song for me" as stated by his fellow members.

oh and though ppl keep mentioning it i'd like to add:
Matsujun's favorite artist is Michael and Janet Jackson; he actually meets janet in one of the shows he co-host in and its so funny seeing him fanboy!


someone mentioned the mago mago episode that aiba and sho were in, and i remember that too.

I can't remember who said it, was it Jun or Nino? Probably Nino, ANW he said he liked Elephant Kashimashi. I remember well cuz Toma's also a big fan, though that's irrelevant. XDDD

And Ohno has mentioned before that he likes hearing OSTs, specially MAOU's.

i forgot from where but Ohno just puts western music as background when his doing his artwork; to keep him inspired i guess?

From: [identity profile] bluerose3104.livejournal.com
yeah he does! i remember him saying something about that in Arashi Discovery. he says it helps him concentrate more but then he begins to concentrate so much on his work the cd tends to stop before he realizes it. :b

Jun also is a big fan of Britney Spears (I'm going to guess he pretty much likes all major Western pop artists, at this point) and I believe Nino likes Radwimps and Remioromen.
