Congrats Arashi! (I really want that dvd...)
I'm taking advantage that the power is still on and went surfing the net... saw this tutorial:

In abduzeedo, my fav. site for photoshop tuts... and thought I'd give it a try, the result is these, simple, sort of generic, but if you're a fan... I guess they're alright, LOL!
Anyway, here is "Neon Arashi"!
Same rules as always: feel free to use, no hotlinking, a little credit is always welcomed ♥
Also known as the "Kobe earthquake," the massive earthquake struck the southern Hyogo prefecture on January 17, 1995 and resulted in more than 6,400 casualties. The drama will focus on the reporters working for the Kobe Shimbun, who were determined to keep the newspaper running without interruption, despite the damage suffered during the earthquake.
The characters in the drama will all be based on real people, using their real names. Sakurai stars as the photo reporter Tomohiko Mitsuyama, who had joined Kobe Shimbun four years before the earthquake. The show will also have documentary segments such as interviews, including an appearance by Mitsuyama himself.
Fuji TV will broadcast the show in January 2010, which will be the 15th anniversary of the earthquake.

Nino, MatsuKen star in live-action "Gantz" movies
Thu, October 8, 2009 (1:00am EDT)Hiroya Oku's sci-fi action manga "GANTZ" is being adapted into two live-action films planned to be released in 2011. The movies will star Arashi's Kazunari Ninomiya (26) and actor Kenichi Matsuyama (24).Source: Sponichi Annex
Shinsuke Sato is directing the films, which have reportedly been given a budget of 4 billion yen, with lots of CG involved. It is said that producers are aiming to make the film suitable for general audiences, which means that it may likely lack the violence of the original manga.
"GANTZ" has been serialized in Young Jump since 2000. Kei Kurono (Ninomiya) and Masaru Kato (Matsuyama) are two young man who should be dead after a train accident, but they are summoned back to life by an entity known as GANTZ. Under GANTZ's orders, the two are repeatedly sent on missions to fight against alien beings. So far, 26 volumes of the manga have been released in Japan, selling more than 10 million copies combined.
Although Kei and Masaru are high school students in the manga, their characters will be older in the movie. Kei has been turned into a college student looking for work, while Masaru is already working and taking care of his younger brother. The two childhood friends happen to meet again on a subway platform.
Oku's manga is still being serialized, but the two movies will tell a complete story with an original ending.
Filming is scheduled to start next month. The first movie is expected to hit theaters in winter 2011, while the second is slated for spring 2011.
Uwa! nino! this sounds very promising! I hear the manga is quite violent/gory and there's lots of nudity and sexual situations, so now I'm sort of divided because on the one hand it would be good if they make it for general audiences since it would mean more exposure for our boy and the movies might reach more people and become famous, but on the other hand... if they water down a manga that's supposed to be "edgy" to put it mildly... fans are gonna be pissed... and that's never good for manga-to-movie adaptations...
Meanwhile, if they do make the movies following the tone the manga has then, it would be very interesting to see nino in such a role.
Tue, September 22, 2009 (1:21am EDT)Arashi's "All the BEST! 1999-2009" has just captured the crown for the highest sales of any album in 2009. The collection has now sold 1.240 million copies, barely passing Mr.Children's "SUPERMARKET FANTASY."Source: Oricon
"All the BEST!" sold 753,000 copies in the first week after its release on August 19, setting this year's record for first-week sales. Now, in its fifth week, it sold 40,000 more copies to push it past the 1.239 million total of Mr.Children's album. That one, however, has been on sale for 41 weeks, starting in December 2008.
Arashi already holds this year's current highest selling single ("Believe / Kumori Nochi, Kaisei" with 655,000 copies) and music DVD ("ARASHI AROUND ASIA 2008 in Tokyo" with 401,000 copies).
Omedetou Arashi-chan!

NTV plans "Arashi Challenge Week"
Mon, September 21, 2009 (12:11am EDT)This November, the five-member boy band Arashi celebrates their 10th anniversary. In connection with that, NTV has announced an "Arashi Challenge Week" for this fall, which will have the group's members appear on the network's major shows for a full seven days, culminating in a live broadcast special.Source: Sports Hochi
At least one Arashi member is scheduled to appear on each of the programs, which range from "Zoom In!! SUPER" in the morning to "NEWS ZERO" at night. The other shows include "Jinsei ga Kawaru Ippunkan no Fukaii Hanashi," "Majotachi no 22 Ji," "Guruguru Ninety-Nine," "Kinyo Roadshow," "Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen," and "Gyouretsu no Dekiru Houritsu Soudanjo." The total running time of all of the shows is expected to be more than 50 hours.
On the last day, all five members will appear on a live special. The special is planned to include a new segment of the "Can we get to Tokyo Bay by boat?" series, which experiments with boats made from different materials, such as toy building blocks, but has always ended with the boats sinking. The special will also feature musical performances by the group and some past video footage.
For my own reference I guess XD. From Tokyograph:
Fri, September 4, 2009 (3:08pm EDT)Several Johnny's Jimusho idols will participate in a television mini-drama project on Fuji TV. Titled "0 Goushitsu no Kyaku," the show will consist of six stories, each lasting for a month. The weekly episodes will be 15 minutes long.
The drama is set in a city hotel called Point, where there is a strange "Room 0" that can reveal one's "grade" as a human being. Various guests with different circumstances visit the room, hoping to determine their own worth.
The first story stars Arashi's Satoshi Ohno as a salaryman who visits the room with a kyabakura hostess, only to discover that she gets a higher grade than he does.
In the second story, Kanjani8's Ryuhei Maruyama and Shota Yasuda play a comedy duo. Although they get along well, they can't find success together, so they visit the room to measure themselves.
The rest of the stories will be led by Shigeaki Kato (NEWS), Shingo Murakami (Kanjani8), Keiichiro Koyama (NEWS), and Shigeru Joshima (TOKIO), in that order. Yu Yokoyama (Kanjani8) will appear throughout the entire series as the storyteller.
The project will start with Ohno's story on October 23. Fuji TV will air the show late on Friday nights, at 1:05am.Source: Sankei Sports.
