JAL launches Arashi Jet

Read this article from japan_now and thought people here would love to know it. ^o^

Japan Airlines, which is currently undergoing reconstruction due to its financial troubles, is looking to boost its business with Arashi's help. The airline has commissioned a single "Arashi Jet," which is basically a Boeing 777 whose fuselage is decorated with a 5-meter-tall, 20-meter-wide seal bearing the images of Arashi's members, along with the title of their latest album, "Boku no Miteiru Fuukei."

The plane will take its first flight on Sunday at 1:30pm, flying from Tokyo's Haneda Airport to Osaka. The plane is expected to be primarily used for domestic flights, serving the routes between Haneda and three other airports: New Chitose Airport in Sapporo, Itami Airport in Osaka, and Fukuoka Airport in Fukuoka. JAL plans to use the plane until January 2011.

In addition to the Arashi Jet, JAL will be selling the "Boku no Miteiru Fuukei" album (with a specially designed cover) in-flight on several of its domestic routes.

I don't even know why but I just LOLed at the image of a 5-meter-tall, 20-meter-wide seal bearing the images of Arashi's members, along with the title of their latest album, "Boku no Miteiru Fuukei." xDD

Many thanks for sharing the infor.

[taiwanf4sale.livejournal.com]

thanks for posting this! i learned about it on twitter and thought a plane was just named "arashi" with no connection with our "arashi" at all. i was proven wrong XD

chou awesome! now i think it's clearer as to why JAL took [movin' on] as their theme this year ^_^

i think at this point in time, you'd never go wrong with arashi. arashi in textbooks, and arashi jet. give me more lovely surprises, please! ^_^

[secretcodeblue.livejournal.com]

thank you!
Arashi is BIG TIME WINNER!<3

[yoopichan.livejournal.com]

This is freakin' awesome!!!!!
I mean, I haven't heard of any artist around the world who has something like this (tell me if somewhere, there is someone/a group who has commercial airline name and dedicated a plane to him/her/them).

This is making me insane. *Jumps around* I want to ride in that airplane!!!!!

*what could the specially designed cover look like? Hmm..

[shuu38.livejournal.com]

O_O It kinda scares me how much of an influence they've become in Japan, what with the tourism promotions.. nippon no arashi book... and now they've taken to the skies.. *jaw drops* But sugoi... Arashi :) I only hope they'll be able to savour their popularity and keep advancing for as long as they're able to!

[jmc-iuqcaj.livejournal.com]

[hisa-no-nikki.livejournal.com]

rather than the plane itself, what I REALLY WANT is the "specially designed cover" Boku no Miteiru Fuukei album..make me think that they will be wearing the pilot suit..

[e-namor.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh. I am so proud of these boys! :D!!!
