I hope as many as possible write this show with a good reason to why Arashi should perform there!
I don't know, but I thought it might be good to tell them as much as possible about what Arashi actually have accomplished and what they spend their days doing, so here's what I wrote:

"I found out about Arashi after watching a Japanese TV series called Hana Yori Dango. They are a 5-member, all male pop-group, from the talent agency Johnny & Accociates Inc, or best known as Johnny's Entertainment. They debuted as a group in Hawaii 1999 and has released 8 studio albums since the start of their carieer, played in several tv dramas, movies, theatre plays and hosts various radio- and television shows.
Last year, 2009 was their 10th year anniversary and their sales went like a rocket to the sky. One of their most sold singles was 'Believe', and according to the Oricon charts this single was the most sold single in Japan in 2009. The song was also the title theme for Takashi Miike's film "Yattaman", which Sakurai Sho (a member of Arashi) starred in.
Many people might recognize the face of especially one guy in Arashi, Ninomiya Kazunari. Ninomiya Kazunari starred as "Saigo", one of the leading roles in Clint Eastwood's "Letter's from Iwo Jima".
Arashi's popularity seems to be neverending and in recent years they've started to gather thousands of fans across the entire globe, even though they've never done a world tour.
I think it would be amazing to see these guys perform on American television, as it would make american fans go totally bananas out of happiness, but also a great oportunity to introduce these down-to-earth, positive and hard-working guys to a western audience.
I hope you will consider it, as it would, to put it frankly, be mindblowingly awesome. "

I hope if anyone's writing to the show but have trouble writing something...just tell them about all the awesoem stuff Arashi have done/are doing! I don't even live in the US, but this would be fantastic if it actually went through.
Peace <3

I completely agree. I see too many people on there commenting saying "Ummm I want XXX because they're cool." I think everyone should give concrete reasons as to why Arashi would be the best choice. I would also say to make sure to spell/grammar check everything and to not write like a 12 year old, because sounding intelligent and making an intelligent argument is a good way of getting the point across. This should also be obvious but perhaps you shouldn’t mention any shortcomings *you* might see in the group. Looking through the droves of comments for kpop groups I ran across one for Arashi that actually stated several times that they didn’t think their singing ability was good but please have them come on the show. ??? That doesn’t make for a good argument as to why they SHOULD be on the show. Ok now everyone go request Arashi! XD

I agree! I read that post too that said their singing ability is "not up to par", it kind of made me really angry. Even if you think they're not the greatest singers, how is mentioning that going to be helpful? Plus comparing Arashi to other idols/JE talents, their singing is in no way "not up to par" (in my humble opinion).

Sorry this comment is not actually helpful in any way, I was just angry about that post and had no one to complain too, hehe xD

I really hope people (well Arashi fans anyway :P) realize that they have to send in the actual form, not just leave a comment, in order for their vote to count ._.

There's already been a post about this at this community. Please try and check the recent posts before you post the same information again.

I know that I might be late answering..but..kpop fans are way too many,it's impossible to read all 7000+ comments!and i bet they all say the same..Cassies are really putting their all into this thing.And I aslo know it's mean from my side,but,they are going overboard.

To put it in a nutshell:I think our boys will make their own way through ,to be known even outside Asia;but looking at how the things are at the moment-it's not in this case.

Please don't hate me,I was just stating the obvious.
