UPDATE
Music Lovers blog, Finally this week is!!!! Music lovers 200 memorial special, mid summer Arashi special. It's only Arashi and longer than usual.... we do for 50 minutes. Yay! Longer than usual means, many tunes than usual, longer talk than usual, then you can see different face of Arashi than usual. this is epic, very busy Arashi, the shooting day of Lovers was between other shooting and interview. Rehearsal started early morning, and all of shooting was over in late night. But member come up with idea right up until shooting, "want to do this way!" " it's better to do this way."  They check rehearsal video during short break. They do it to the best of their ability for Lovers and in order to make best concert. Sure, we staffs do the best. Please look forward to it. I will introduce sight of mid summer Arashi special at this blog, so please look forward to it.
TV Life blog, TV life on sale 18 Aug. so today. I promote this. "talk about trick of concert!" by Kazunari Ninomiya of Arashi. Nino talks his enthusiasm about tour. What is most impressive was "I have done rehearsal just for several times, but I don't worry about it. as we do together more than 10 years.  At least I have never seen members feel pressed or feel irritable. They are serious, Arashi are." Reading a galley, I feel pleased.  I think that's why Arashi is good. I envy Nino who feels so positive about members, however I do editing with same staffs nearly for 10 years. Well If I add balloon to main photo among 11 pieces among gravure pictures. (this is my delusion) "watch it." I want to burn concert of Kokuritsu into my memory. Oh! I have better story than my delusion. Jun Matsumoto's serial "Natsujun mode" get interview time cutting back borrowed time between drama shooting. The person of charge of serial is Editor S. He handled gravure picture sites several times such as cover of Natsuniji, extra volume gravure picture of "Dramatic TV Life". One day at interview of serials, serial photo shooting is done by costume of role as it is between drama shooting. The editor who sees Matsujun who came to interview shooting site accidentally vocalize "ack!". The costume of role was same as begining of serial. Taiga acted by Matsujun is struggling actor, so he wear same costume depending on scenes.  this is normal. So editor S instantly tried to cover up "it's nothing." Matsujun asked editor S, "what happened?" He told about costume honestly. and said "as I can make closed up photo (closed up face) so, it's fine if you take off jacket. " Then... "It's fine, this is serial, right? as it's not fun if it's same, So I go to change."As all told, this shooting is done finding small amount of time between drama shooting.  If Matsujun back to dress room to change means, it not about interview time get shorter, this means short amount of  break time of Matsujun who work morning to night is cancelled. That night, editor S who came to talk to me this episode. However he talks by himself, it seems he gets wet eyes. as he face to computer again just trying to hide it and search best shoot of Matsujun among 100 photos. Sorry it's getting long again. we spend every having interaction like this. I think I can make good pages again.
 web Orista, <Arashi got no.1, 2weeks in a row> this is included smash hit tunes such as Troublemaker, Monster, "movin' on" that  Ohno commented on Orista."it feels like long-forgotten" Summer splash" that Ninomiya comments " the tune is like old days of Arashi" Aiba comment "I like it as it feels fun.", "Mada Ue wo" Sakurai comments "I thought big-boned tune has came." and total 20 tunes are included. about 11th tour, Matsumoto comment" it would absolutely be fun."
 Rakuten Woman< Funky Monky Baby disclose inside story of appearing with Smap on their blog> Music station aired 13 with gorgeous members gathered, Smap, Arashi, Tokio Masaharu Fukuyama. it was after 12 years 3 groups of Johnny's talent gathered. and combination of Smap and Arashi that you can't hardly see. It seems there're many fans who looked forward this airing. Audience rate demonstrates the high level of interest, 14.2%. last several month this show less than 10% so this must be good for this show. From what I've seen, Arashi shrinks back because of tenseness against imposing Smap. During talk time Aiba talks episode "he became sensitive with spirits appearing psychic TV shows." "during shower I heard voice 'Do you read comic?'" That timing Kimura who sat next to him murmured "do you read comic?" Aiba talks emotionally to him"right, right, it is just like Kimura-san said." Kimura who got overwhelmed makes bitter smile. on the net, "However Aiba-chan talks to him like all creation, Kimutaku has bad impression!" " why he looks so big?"  you can see post of fans who got mad. "On the TV he looked chilly on TV, Arashi and Smap were normal before real part during CM. Katori-kun and Kusanagi-kun talked members of Arashi pleasantly.Kimura-kun talk to Aiba-kun when he was next to him. well Aiba-chan seemed very nervous. (grin) Nakai-kun move covering back his back, as he has back pain he was so quite from beginning to end, but he talked with Taichi-kun friendly. " (audience of 20's woman) members of Smap who keep dignity as senior but interact friendly, actually Kimura has interaction with other cast. Leader Funky Kato of Funky Monkey baby disclose it on their blog, title after Music Station. he disclose good story. " it happens from rehearsal, Kimura talks to Kato who lose his voice in mask, "what's wrong?" "I  got slightly hoarse voice as I got concert and recording." "wow! this is hard." so far this is ordinary dialogue. later, Smap manager came to Kato who backed to dress room and gave a thing. "This is from Kimura to Kato-san" this is nutritional supplement good for gorge. Kimutaku brother!!  (touching tears)"  Kato who touched, just before real part dash off to Kimura and vow deeply, and said grateful feeling "Thank you for fucking"  this is Sanji's quote of "One Piece", Kimura who love "One Piece" must love it. Kimura... "ha, ha..." bitter grin. chancy "He turned out." it's just like Aiba as he was so high spirited, he turned out. But in front of big star Takuya Kimura, you get spree because of too much nerve, this is understandable. Kimura who talks to any position person friendly, it seems various episode must come out from other casts. as They invited their junior Kat-tun, Toma Ikuta, Tomohisa Yamashita, "Smap x Smap", their  customary rule is totally broke, Maybe Arashi must be called as guest soon.

"TV life collaborate again, which member will be bottom?"

Wait what? I see "Matsumoto Jun" & "Ninomiya Kazunari" and then "Which member will be bottom?"

.... whut? xD.??

Thanks for the update~

[(Anonymous)]

LMAO! The translator is a Matsumiya fan... xD

I don't mind.... xDDD

[(Anonymous)]

"Thank you for fucking"

LOL???

I don't watch One Piece but do they really say that? LOLS @ Kimutaku for feeling happy hearing that and for FMB for talking like that.... xD

[miss-lonliah.livejournal.com]

No, Google Translater says that! XD

Thanks for the updates, i don't really mind about using GT ... I am grateful :)

[greentea287.livejournal.com]

Haha I think he meant

"Thank you for giving a fuck"

Google translator isn't the smartest cookie

[(Anonymous)]

In case anyone is interested, here's the link to the FMB blog entry that talks about Kimutaku: http://ameblo.jp/fmb-blog/entry-10618966666.html

The gist of it has been actually accurately translated in the article. Somehow, this makes me feel really bad for believing in all those anti-SMAP comments without actually checking. :( Kimutaku's really nice. <3

[danni14nino.livejournal.com]

Ok, I feel better about the whole KimuTaku thing now. I thought it seemed strange for someone like him, so I'm glad it's all cleared up.

Lol at the conversation between KimuTaku and the guy from FUNKYMONKEYBABY. Weird (I don't read One Piece) but funny.

[bokunosubete.livejournal.com]

I'm glad the Kimutaku stuff is all cleared up.I was really sad to see people sprouting bad things about him. ;_; Yokatta~
Thanks for the update.^^

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you very much for the translations about the Music Station!! I just hate when people make very rash judgments like "SMAP is dead to me" and stuff like that just because of one incident that they misconstrue, just because someone is supposedly hurting their dear "precious" Arashi. I'm not saying anything bad about Arashi (I'm a huge Arashi fan), I just get sick of some fans having very biased attitudes when it comes to their idols. I mean, when Nino accidentally hit the woman on the bike, the majority of the comments were "I hope Nino is okay" or "The woman better not sue Nino", but hardly any words of "I hope the woman is okay!" Sorry for my rant...

[(Anonymous)]

yup it makes me sad to see Arashi fans get angry at SMAP. I've also seen SMAP fans badmouth Arashi too even before this. Fandom can be stupid sometimes, seriously.

[buyme-arashi.livejournal.com]

who's those rash fans? let me punch their faces. SMAP are rule japan and they can do whatever they want!

jk, jk.

lol. its no surprise fans will be overly bias and over protective.
"The woman better not sue Nino", but hardly any words of "I hope the woman is okay!" uh no. i saw quite a lot of comments wishing well on the woman.
I'm not blind, there are some annoying biased airheads out there but could the fans stop with the negativity about other fangirls (especially when its over eons ago)? i read some of the comments in last post about MS "incident" but most were quite appropriate. there's no need for more drama.

[buyme-arashi.livejournal.com]

*i'm no perfectionist and not gonna repair the mistakes in my comment. please read it as though you were figuring out yamakaze's wonderful posts.

btw, THANK YOU yamakaze-san!

[shunluv.livejournal.com]

"The woman better not sue Nino", but hardly any words of "I hope the woman is okay!"

lol i admit there is some biased fans, but i also saw many nice comment wishing the woman to be ok, i think more than bad comment..
it make me sad people just remember and choose to read the negative and bad part that Arashi parts only and does not seem to remember or just ignoring the nice thing or comment most of them write^^;
well i am not aiming at you, but seem like this things happen often :P

[shunluv.livejournal.com]

i mean it make me sad people just remember and choose to read the negative and bad part that some Arashi biased fangirls wrote only and does not seem to remember or just ignoring the nice thing or comment most of other nice fangirls woite^^;

[nhbsakakude.livejournal.com]

i do agree with u~
like it or not nino was at fault and he punishmen was to me appropriate..
but tho it did escalates later when the police get involves >___>

i do write negative comments abt arashi and other artists but that's only in my views..i think people are allowed to expressed their critisms as long as it's constructive and free of biasness lool

[buyme-arashi.livejournal.com]

umm.. i think her point was about people focusing too much on the negative comment by fans and forgetting all the nice ones... not about nino case... i don't get why people need bring this up again. yeah he hit her and reacted rather appropriately (held the injured lady, cooperated with the cops, was pretty calm..etc.etc) was punished nonetheless, court case still pending but life goes on.

[nhbsakakude.livejournal.com]

i get wat u r saying but im jus making an example..
wat i meant by negative comments r insulting etc.. ^^

comments like tat we r better off ignoring it lol
since it will only rile us up to the point we will hav the nd to insult back or something..

[buyme-arashi.livejournal.com]

can't help it since it's happening a lot lately. its just to annoying to ignore.
lol. i believe a lot of us can hold an argument/discussions well without any insults. same can't be said of trolls who initiates the arguments though..

[nhbsakakude.livejournal.com]

haha yahh tho it make me pissed sometimes when they insults jap artists for no good reason..
sorry my country is currently in kpop craze so im a bit irritated at times when the fans of kpop insults jpop artists >__>

i guess its true with popularity comes with many antis XD
but its harder for trolls to make arguments in LJ i guess since they can easily go to the LJ and block them..

i know forum was harder and many trolls reside there lol

[buyme-arashi.livejournal.com]

btw, your stance on nino's fault in the case was not a negative opinion imo. its just an opinion. a negative comment would be something that initiate negativity like insults, threats, swearing or overly emotional reactions. if fans can write their opinion calmly, there won't be any dramas over comments that go against the grains (ie. reviews on Boku wo Miteiru Fukei or AnShi).

but whatever. there's no fun if there's no drama.

[nhbsakakude.livejournal.com]

haha thanx~

i didn't know there were any 'dramas' on the album's reviews O__O
tho i know to me the album was a bit more weaker compared to the old ones haha

i do know tat AnShi was boring only because I don understand wat they were saying half of the time but since now there are subs, im pretty much enjoying the show XD

i'd rather go on with life without any dramas @___@
since they can say watever they wan and no wan can tell them off in their face.. bahhhh
sometimes i jus hate internet cos ppl will b hiding bhind it...

[shunluv.livejournal.com]

owh i am glad to hear that everything is good backstage with SMAP<3
i love Kimutaku and know sometime he is really serious but still it hard to believe that he would act that way towards his kouhai so i am really glad this is just a misunderstanding and they do talk with Arashi backstage...
aww poor Nakai, he has back pain so that is why someone super talkative like him is so quiet:(
i hope he is alright now<3
i am worried when see him, Kimutaku and the rest of them being so quiet the whole time, but luckily no more misunderstanding and it really make me feel good to hear Kimutaku being nice to the FMB guy<3

well seem like the atmosphere is intense because the guys don't really know how to act around each other in front of tv since they have big senpai-kouhai status going on so Arashi need to act more careful around SMAP and SMAP still have to show their cool side on broadcast xDD

Arashi, SMAP, Tokio and KinKi Kids is all my 4 most fav group in JE and i would feel sad if hear anything negative about them and would be more upset seeing fans from each group especially Arashi and SMAP fangirls keep attacking each other when the group themselves have a good and peaceful relationship :P

thank you for the updates^^

[(Anonymous)]

I love your comment so much <3
Me too a fan of SMAP, TOKIO, KinKi Kids & ARASHI

[nhbsakakude.livejournal.com]

Ohh its not only me who c tat kimura was moody tat day XD
atleast on tv wise~

initially i tot they were irritated cos arashi got more time exponse compared to them...poor nakai~

hope he gets better!

[maptheheart.livejournal.com]

hmm...i have to say, i found the atmosphere tense( ?)on MS (i mean, compare to the last time when smap was on and arashi was performing lai-lai-lai, nakai was cheering, and kimura or Goro was saying how they loved it, where as this time they were all quiet lols). But you do see tsuyoshi, and shingo laughing at the aiba part of the MC, and hey1 aiba and kimura talked~ lols.

I think both groups are/is having their concerts aren't they? so it's understandable that they're tired. And poor nakai.

Arashi's performance was fun to watch I was hoping for the ohno solo at the part where they ended or some sakurap, but the energy from the troublemaker performance was great~

[(Anonymous)]

I think how SMAPis depend on the song they sing if its a funny one they act more relaxed, and it depend how much the other guest invitate them into the talk (like Becky did before this one).
For my part felt MS was at bad too, when they asked Arashi and Tokio how they choose their leader they should have asked SMAP too

[yea-arashi.livejournal.com]

Thank you Yamakaze-san for today's info. Otsukaresama :-)

[sky7horizon.livejournal.com]

hmm...everybody make mistakes once and awhile....incident that one regret but can do anything about..bad things always happen...nothing that one can do but to reflect and to prevent...a person who admit mistake and take responsibility for his action..is good enough..but people who always blaming and complaining is definitely...................................................................................unavoidable.

thanks for sharing as always.

[tensaibaka.livejournal.com]

I lol at it!

Aiba's tension is weird and everyone knows it!

Kimutaku was just surprised by Aiba cause he never expect such an enthusiastic answer!

Aiba just forgot that Kimutaku is his senpai! Haha~ They should have Matsujun beside Kimutaku while Sho beside Aiba~

[shunluv.livejournal.com]

haha Aiba totally forgot Kimutaku is his big senpai lol and Kimutaku just shocked with Aiba suddenly talking to him xD

yeah Matsujun would be more perfect companion beside Kimutaku xD

[mikandrops.livejournal.com]

frankly i didnt see anything weird about the atmosphere during MS...
Arashi behaved like they usually do, WITH their seniors - they stepped off the limelight.

we all know that arashi is one of those groups who can be and sometimes are incredibly talented and popular and yet they are totally indifferent about it right? - so i think they just acted "quieter" and "tamer" to avoid getting the spotlight all on themselves.
Arashi can be a lot of different things but one trait of theirs have been apparent since debut and that is their group's innate humility...

its just that some fans really are so passionate ( in its extreme sense) that they always see arashi as victims....
the guys are grown up men, they can take care of themselves =)

[yuui1010.livejournal.com]

They seek extra for Nino's drama?? Uwaaa.........> < I wanna joinnnnn

i love love rainbow's covers! so pretty :)

[rainbow-spanker.livejournal.com]

thanks for the updates!

[nefartari85.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to geht this background-info about this MS, thank you!

This whole so-called "incident" just got blown up into a huge tragedy whereas nothing really happened. I mean, Arashi, SMAP and Tokio, I don't think they actually meet up as a whole group that often just because they're from the same agency. I can't remember Arashi ever being guest at a SMAP or Tokio TV-show (I might be wrong, this is just my impression), except for Utaban, whereas this is just Nakai-kun and a whole other story, ne?
It's a fact that those two are Arashis sempai, so for me I think it's natural that those 5 might act differently around them. And I think this naturally works the other way around too, maybe they're just not really sure how to treat each other, even more so when on TV and in addition because specially about this MS-appearance were such raves beforehand.
I think KimuTaku is a really nice person and I don't think he wanted to make Aiba-chan look bad or something. The guests are always talking with each other behind the back of the hosts, it might be that what he said was just meant to be heard for Aiba but our Miracle-boy practically "screamed" it out for everyone to hear, so I think poor Kimura-kun was just at a loss as how to react on that. If you give this whole situation a second thought it is actually pretty funny, seeing such a puzzled expression on Kimura-kuns face ^_^
Puh, what a long rambling, sorry for that everyone!

[miss-lonliah.livejournal.com]

I liked your explanation of that situation! ;)

[nefartari85.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

[miss-lonliah.livejournal.com]

No problem! ;) I did read a lot about that situation but found your explanation of that puzzled expression making a lot of sense! ^^
