Ok, so I dont think this has been announced yet....

December 15th, 7pm Arashi will be on Hey! Hey! Hey!'s 2 hour special.

Warning... spoilers for the episode ahead...

How do I know this?

Because I went to the taping of the episode today!!!

I went to FUJI TV first to get a HEY! HEY! HEY! keychain at the gift shop because I was there two hours too early... and also a grab to eat at Aqua City. Then...

I got to Telecom Center in Odaiba at around 3pm because the call time was 3:30.

I was number 1022... which means I was the 122nd person... not sure why they added the 0 in there. I got in line and handed the lady all my papers, id, and fc card.

a half an hour later we were handed little green tickets and lead into a holding area. Here we left all of our purses and jackets (because Japan is getting pretty cold) and then we were escorted into the studio.

Once we got in, we realized that it was a "fancy" set, and the AD guys announced that we were watching the filming of the 2 hour special that will air on December 15th!!!!

On top of this, we were not only going to be watching Arashi's talk, but we would be watching one more artist... Aoyama Thelma!!!

So we get into the studio and I am super excited. I am seriously 4 yards (meters) from the stage, and I am taller than most of the girls in there since we all had to wear sneakers.

At first, this comedy duo comes out and talks to us for what seems like an eternity, and then they are testing cameras and telling us to cheer for downtown and aoyama just as much as we would for Arashi (with the clapping and kya kyas). So Matsumoto and Hamada-san come out first and talk a bit. Then they show the Oricon top 10 ranking of the year... Arashi comes in 10 with Beautiful Days, then Kattun with 9 and 8... and then 2 is One Love and 1 is Truth... and out comes Arashi!!!!!!

They stand from left to right: Matsumoto-san (bald host) Oh-chan, Aiba, Sho-kun, Nino, MatsuJun, Hama-chan.
The boys were all wearing Black, Red, and White (I am guessing they performed Truth, but I'm not sure, since I only got to watch the talk part), and I think Oh-chan's was mostly black (i wanna say black collard shirt with red tie... but I can't remember), Aiba-kun was wearing a white leather jacket with a rolling stones shirt, Sho-kun was wearing a red trench coat, Nino was wearing black with a white extremely long scarf that kept slipping throughout the entire taping, and Jun was wearing mostly red (i think it was a vest thingy, I can't remember because Nino was fixing his scarf the whole time and distracting me from looking at Jun... but i do remember MatsuJun's lips looked really red for some reason.).

Then they congratulate the boys and give them an award. Their talk was veeery funny... and the main part was probably inappropriate for TV... haha.

First they say that the most busy member was Oh-chan this year (who was very tan and tiny in real life), because he did his butai and drama and all that good stuff. And he said that during his busiest, he didn't even have a day off.

Then they talked about an episode in Shanghai involving Nino, Sho, and Aiba. I feel that it is just too funny, so I will wait until after it airs to post about it in public... but it was funny.

After Arashi left, walking right next to us and waving like the cool superstars they are, Aoyama Thelma did her talk segment, then we all went back to get our stuff and left. The whole thing lasted about two hours.

On our way out, we got little keitai screen cleaners (the little white thing in the picture with my ticket and confetti i collected. The silver is from ARashi and the blue one is from Aoyama Thelma)
