why did they stop having interview with arashi?

[misaki-rai.livejournal.com]

why did they stop havin interviews of arashi? and photos??

[megaffud7.livejournal.com]

Potato and Duet stop having interview with Arashi.only TV show information, and news and solo interview.

its like it has age limit for idol mags, like that?

if that so, how old is their age limit for idol mags?..*curious*


and Thank you yamakaze for always updating Arashi news (*___*)

[asweetsymphony.livejournal.com]

I think the age limit is once you hit 30.

I guess cause Ohno is 30 now and Sho is turning 30 this year.

[asaphira-sachi.livejournal.com]

I'm so sad about the news for the idol mags... >_< Even if age limit is the protocol, considering how popular Arashi is now, isn't it an odd marketing strategy? All the lovely photoshoots...

Thank you so much for the updates, Yamakaze-san!

[arashi-johnnys.livejournal.com]

I think for another information wink up magazine stop too

only myojo and popolo continue with all the photos until now

[drigby.livejournal.com]

Does that mean we won't have the WU Ohmiya soap opera on the message board? The senpai groups do post there don't they?

[asweetsymphony.livejournal.com]

WHAT?

BUT BUT Nino and Jun is not that old yet... T_T

NO!!!!!!!!

I will miss Arashi in idol mags but I guess they are free from the stupid questions that are always asked of them since they entered Johnny Jimusho.

At least, we still have Myojo and Popolo.

[himawar1.livejournal.com]

Ooohhh noooo.. Why? I think eventhough they old but their shine same as the younger one.. Their thought always interesting to be read.

[asweetsymphony.livejournal.com]

THIS.

They don't even look old. WTF?

Nino can still pass off as a teen. xDDD

[tet28.livejournal.com]

sho will turn 29 this coming jan 25..

[shunluv.livejournal.com]

thanks for the updates..
yeah no news is better than bad news xD

but super sad for the magazine cut down since that is the one i look forward to the most every month:(
i understand their age limit for the mags is until the member have turn 30 but can't they at least wait for all 5 member to turn 30...
right now is only Ohno alone just turn 30 and they suddenly cut all their mags T_T
it is weird especially Arashi is super popular right now and the fans willing to buy all their mags appearance so i think the one who will have the biggest losses is the magazine company themselves..
but maybe they are force by Johnny to do this since it is JE rules and JE also want to promote the younger group more as well..

but it still hard to accept this bad news after seeing the boys in the mags for all these years and stop so suddenly:(

JE better prepare us with much better marketing strategies this year and giving us much higher quality of works especially the singles and PV to compensate with this :P
it really sucks if Arashi have to loss against AKB again especially those group have excellent marketing skills compare to JE T_T

[megaffud7.livejournal.com]

it really sucks if Arashi have to loss against AKB again especially those group have excellent marketing skills compare to JE T_T


agree that JE better change their marketting skills this year ne esp their recording company cough* JSTORM* , BUt im against the handshake thingy and multiple cd versions, Plz don't copy that... it will not be a good move for JE in that way esp for Arashi, i guess......

[drigby.livejournal.com]

Now maybe if the idol mags do stop featuring Arashi as a group maybe those people who always harp about Arashi being overexposed will now be very very happy.

[meoinkie2.livejournal.com]

LMAO.. this!

[madzterill.livejournal.com]

Now, i know why Smap have their own magazine...

Johnny, plz give Arashi their own magazine company too lol. Less Arashi in idol mags makes me sad.


For an Arashi fan who's not living in Japan, I always look forward to your everyday Arashi updates. Thank you as always, ur very informative.

[yoshikam.livejournal.com]

I agree! I want Arashi to have their own magazine :)
I would get an eternal subscription if I could and I bet many others would too x)

[laurachan2.livejournal.com]

I wonder if Magazine sales for the ones that stop feauturing Arashi will be affected XD Will be interesting to see.

[yoshikam.livejournal.com]

I bet sales will decrease!
I, for one, will mostly stop buying the magazines because I was buying them only for Arashi. Spending thousands of yen every month was tolerable because it was ARASHI, but I can't afford to spend a fortune on other groups/idols that don't interest me.

I'm very disappointed, but I think we'll still have TV magazines (TV Life, TV Guide, Weekly/Monthly Television etc.) which give us pretty good photos too. I'm going to focus more on them from now on :)

[aibajunior.livejournal.com]

Aww Potato is going to stop publishing? That's my favorite magazine! :( Does anyone know when they will stop publishing? When the last issue will be?

It sucks that they have an age limit on the idol magazines. I just hope they will still be able to have the message boards.

Also, does that mean Kanjani8 will be out of group shoots this year? Yoko turns 30 this year!

[asweetsymphony.livejournal.com]

I was thinking that too.

K8 will have to stop soon as well.

Those magazines will look so bare now without Arashi or K8.

This is making me sad.

[meoinkie2.livejournal.com]

sad to know that Arashi will no longer be featured on those magazines ;_; they are my fav mags ORZ
stupid rule is stupid esp at a time where the boys are in their peak popularity..it's not their fault that their immense fame came on their later years xD
oh, it's been a while i commented again on yamakaze-san's posts..thank you as always for the updates! ^_^

[dyan1219.livejournal.com]

Yeah. How can they stop it now when they're at their peak? Can they just break the rules for a while and continue to publish Arashi as it is until they all look actually 30? :(

[himawar1.livejournal.com]

If Arashi have their own magazine, definately I will subscribe it.
I hope je will find way to maintain arashi popularity without pushing them over the limit. They really need good songs and pv as well as the promotion.
AKB has started their promotion by airing AKB history at NHK while in couple last days I heard only bad news about Arashi..from complaint about bad kouhaku MC and now, kicked by potato and duet.
I always hope the best for Arashi. Keep making strom boys..

[masaki82.livejournal.com]

I would subscribe too^^

[valentinekent.livejournal.com]

nooooooooo whhhyyyy

i can't believe this is happening right when jun's hair looks so beautiful!!!

does anyone know if there are posters with jun's new hair in the jan + feb issues?

[font.livejournal.com]

♥

[tsuriida.livejournal.com]

POTATO!!
DUET!!!
They're like... the source for awesome picpornspams!
T^T

WHY?

[tsuriida.livejournal.com]

BTW, they'll definitely experience a drastic drop in sales.
LIKE... DUH.

Hmmph.

[dyan1219.livejournal.com]

WTF.
Well they better have their OWN magazine then. 8D

[masaki82.livejournal.com]

agreed

[sukinamono.livejournal.com]

Ages doesn't matter!! may be JE has other reason.I read arashinino san just understand this

[anesato.livejournal.com]

I agree with you I think that there are other reasons then age, mayby Jimusho planning something new for boys . I have only hope that they resolwe that problem , its imposible don't have Arashi pictures when they are so famous now ;//

[shokim.livejournal.com]

Personally, I suspect JE might debut a new group and this is to create space for them.

As for Potato ending publishing - when one door closes, another opens. Who knows, they might have a new magazine in store? But with age limit, dammit still no Arashi!

[dyan1219.livejournal.com]

I also expect that a new group will debut, considering that the Volleyball World Cup will be this year.

[flashylicious.livejournal.com]

i guess it will be kanjani8 and t&t's turn next year since yoko, subaru and tsubasa are turning 30 this year

[flashylicious.livejournal.com]

i didn't know they have that age policy but come to think of it, none of the senpai groups have been featured on covers of winkup, duet and potato since a long time ago. now i only hope they will have an arashi magazine soon

[shunluv.livejournal.com]

wow i just read your twitter and read that Nakama Yukie in Vip Room<33333
i freaking love her and so happy she appear in HnA<3
lol Oh-chan teaching her to catch Tuna xD

the weekly magazine wrote so badly of Arashi make me so sad:(
i hope it not true of cheating sheet but even if it is the boys have give their best to MC naturally and doing fine job despite their first time...
the boys have been so nervous, they are not experience Mc, first time as Kouhaku MC which is the biggest event in Japan and making them even nervous, media and higher up people expectation towards them is just too high, worried for rating and their performance, try to please all the guest singer and audience but still they did pretty good jobs and make a very nice effort...
but even after they did a good job and actually got a good rating but all they get at the end is all negative critics that want to crushed their efforts and hard works the whole years:(

this new year is really getting super depressing with all the bad news attacking the boys one after another especially today with all the magazines cut off T_T

i hope this year will be an even better year for Arashi and may JE learn their lesson to not overexposed the boys again and try to come out with better quality singles and pv...
less quantity is fine maybe only 3-4 single is great but please bring the best quality and really don't want to have the B side to be even better song than the A-side again lol :P

the only good things that make me happy is i know the boys is having a well earn holiday and rest to charged up their energy and also they get another Artist of the year awards again<3
i hope all the fans will stick by them no matter what the tabloid write about them and give us another Stormy years to come^^
and i am super excited for the concert dvd to come out at the end of this month^^
and may Arashi get their own magazine now xD

Arashi good luck<3

[temebaka.livejournal.com]

Has anyone got the original news talking bad of Arashi?
I wanna to read what they're writing~
They just expected too much when they throw out a lot of good singers from last year, moreover, they just didn't let Arashi and Matsushita Nao do the MC alone.
I think it's ok, Arashi will have some more time now :D, if it's possible I want to watch arashi doing stupid thing like D, G arashi again :D

[madzterill.livejournal.com]

THIS.
*im also curious about that weekly mags that talk bad mouth abt Arashi's MC* I hope someone will post.

[renge-010.livejournal.com]

Erm, a really stupid question but... what does cheating sheet mean? ;__;

[megaffud7.livejournal.com]

i think it has something to do with "MC's are not suppose to read" and in Arashi's case they said they have tons of those sheets* shits^ to them lol...im not sure, BUT that's just my interpretation...

[mikandrops.livejournal.com]

is this it then?

akb surpassing them....
lots of bad write ups from magazines....
unending scandals....
being too old...

oh...i hope arashi still makes it big this year ! XI

[shunluv.livejournal.com]

well as a fan we can just continue support them no matter what the situation is...
i don't care bout AKB, Arashi and them is completely different group...
just ignore the tabloid and bad write up come from people who is jealous with the boys success and only want to bring them down...
there will always be scandals no matter what because they are the most popular people in Japan right now and the best target for scandal for the magazine company to sell their story so as fans it is up to us to choose who we want to believe....
Arashi can only move forward from now on so we need to always support him...

everyone will grow old someday even us fans..
im just happy to grow up together with Arashi and seeing them mature from awkward teenagers to awesome man they are now and im looking forward for them to be in their 30s to be even better man then they are now<3
for me Arashi in their 30s is not the end for their career, it is their beginning again to be adult and better man and show much stronger group and friendship in the future<3

just look at SMAP they have past their 30s long time ago and also face many bad rumors but they still stand strong now, im sure Arashi will be fine^^
and im sure they will have more success after this...
let AKB have their moment now, they also work hard though for long term success in entertainment world male idol usually can stay longer compare to female idol who usually at their peak during their teenage years but fade away after that...
so at the end Arashi will stay strong and they might actually getting more popular the older they get like now<3

im sure Arashi is still big this year though i prefer them to take thing slower this year rather than releasing single one after another in very short gap of time^^;
it is better for them on focusing to have better quality project this time and for JE to learn their lesson not to overexposed this guys :P

i will support Arashi forever no matter if they still the best selling group or still the top idol in Japan or not^^
for me they are still the same old Arashi that i always love no matter they are the top or not<3
i will crssing my finger for everything to turn out fine and come out positive for them<3
they always give their best so we just need to support and trust them^^

so sorry for my long rambling, it just today i am super tired and depressed with so many bad news from both side of my main fandom Arashi and TVXQ T_T
Arashi with their bad tabloids and the end of their magazine and TVXQ with their never ending fanwar that keep getting worse by sec @_@

but at least what make me still happy with Arashi is the 5 of them is always together and they will never leave each other no matter what so as long as Arashi stay together forever i will be happy and will support them until they old<3
Arashi is my source of strength and laughter^^
all that matter for me is they happy to be together and work hard for their sso some stupid tabloid trying to ruin what they work hard for will not change my feeling for Arashi but actually making me want to support and protect them more^^
