a long time ago..

when Arashi was still juniors and stangers to one another (well.. just ohno was a stranger to everyone else.. :P) Ohno sang a solo in one of the sugoi concerts and i was wondering for the longest time what that song was from. Since that time i knew that it was an established song from some JE artist and the song would be a famous song for one right? After much searching and wanderings online.. I have finally got the song and i'm so happy, i'm celebrating by putting it up here for everyone to hear.

Below the cut is some pictures from his junior solo, his former groupmates from Musical Academy, and his future Arashi groupmates Sho and Jun! Sho was dancing with Musical Academy and i wonder if he was ever with them however short of time it may have been. Also notice how Jun is playing keyboard? Whoever would of thought?


The song is called Asahi o MI ni Ikou Yo by none other than SMAP!

Haha, must be an old clip cuz Ohno still has his long hair..*g*

I tell you, I miss Ohno's long-haired look!

I'm not downloading this because I have the Sugao 2 video where this came from. Look closer at the clip though. Halfway through the song, two backup singers in dark blue shirts appear: Shota Yasuda & Ryuhei Maruyama, future Kanjani8 members!

Oh this isn't the clip from Sugoi2...

Its the mp3 of the original song by SMAP which you probably already have as well :P. And yes! i did see those K8 members! I didn't include their images cause for one.. i wasn't too sure since i don't know k8 that well, but i did recognize that they were somebody.. lol, and two.. i put MA in since Ohno used to "row" with them before Arashi, and that Jun and Sho are in Arashi, Ohno's future group.
