Details of variety shows

[aa-chan.livejournal.com]

I'm putting together a small fansite for Arashi and need some information on their variety shows. It only really needs to be what format they take and stuff like that.

I know of A/B/D/G no Arashi and Mago Mago, but I don't really know much about them other than the very few I've watched. Any information would be great because it's the last page I have to complete on my site ^__^ .

A is Aiba's. He does weird experiments.
C is Creme I think. It was their first show. I've only seen an episode so I dunno what it was about.
D is Document. The second no Arashi in which they documented different people as they visited them.
G is Ganbare. The Arashi boys help and cheer on a person or group whom they select based on what they need help with.
M no arashi I think stands for Mendou or Mendoukusai. It's Jun's . He's forced to do annoying tasks.
Ni no Arashi is Nino pulling pranks.
O no Arashi is Ohno drawing something based on two random pictures.

I don't remember Sho's letter but I know he shows weird pictures people send in based on some theme he makes up.

C D and G are the names of the shows, the rest are little subsections they exhibit in an episode.

Sho's letter is T no Arashi ^^ though I wonder why it's T?

[aa-chan.livejournal.com]

Excellent, I can make a start with these ^^ .

Any more information would be great.

Sho's is T. Much as I love him, T no Arashi tends to be a bit boring. Or that might be because I don't understand what they're talking about and there's virtually no real action.

'C' is actually for 'Claim'. ^^ During C no Arashi they acted as 'Claim Agents', though since I've never actually seen the show I don't know what that means. XD;

Though in D no Arashi, they also had 'C no Arashi' segments in which the C stood for 'Contest'. They usually had groups of people where they decide weird stuff like 'who has the dumbest face', 'who's most flexible', etc.

Sho had a segment called 'T no Arashi', I don't know if they ever actually explained what the T stood for, but the other members joked that it was for "tsumaranai" or "boring".

They've had shows prior to C/D no Arashi, like Nama Arashi, Mayonaka no Arashi, and USO!? Japan, but I've never seen more than small clips, so I don't know anything about them. ^^;

.... >>;; Aside from that, I wish they had more variety in their names. All the letters get confusing. D:

Oooh, thanks for this ^^ .

I've SEEN C no Arashi, and still have no idea what it's about^^; It seemed really, really boring. (But maybe it's just cause I didn't understand it well enough)

I always assumed the T in "T no Arashi" stood for "talk", but that's just my own personal assumption^^;

They also had Arashi no Waza-ari, which didn't last too long. It was about them "becoming adults", and in each episode two of them would go with an older woman to do some "adult" activity (not what you're thinking XD I just remember they played golf one time), and eat "adult" food.

well there's the Mago Mago Arashi (Grand-child, grand-chil Arashi) which is a show where 2 of the Arashi goes and become the grand-children of an elderly couple for a day (they help them with their everyday task and all kind of stuff like that)

Arashi no Waza-Ari is an old show they did that was about them discovering the world and becoming adults or something like that.

Uso Japan was a show they did a while back as well (there's other people along with Arashi) but it basically deals with unnexplained things like UFO, ghost, magic tricks XD and other type of things like that.

There's also the Tensai! Shimura Doubutsu En (it's only Aiba in it) which is the Shimura educational show about animals (Aiba often goes on outings, for example once he went to the Philipine's and had to babysit a tiger ^^)

umm... the rest that I know are basically the letter sequence that everyone talked about before. I also know that the Arashi were very present in the Homonculus show which they were investigator for the educational subject of the shows (I only saw one where Sho investigates motherhood and childbirth so I don't have much info on this one it's pretty old)

chibi_bahamut told me this a long while ago .

"It's 投稿の嵐, or toukou no arashi. toukou means "submission" or "contribution"...probably referring to viewers sending him the material."

Nama arashi was their live variety show. There are clips floating around about them sitting at desks and answering questions for food, and also the one piece segment where arashi - sho-kun (who is a host) attempt voices. They did some performances.. just random funny stuff. (O)h no arashi is very reminicent of a segment ohno used to do in nama arashi.

Mayonaka no Arashi was sort of their first ever show. The ostrich clip came from there.. also i think the abia fainting in the middle of the night is from there too...

Thanks everyone. The site will be uploaded next week ^^ .

didn't they have one variety show where they had to learn chinese or something??? and the teacher liked Sho alot, so she kept praising him more than the rest - whether he was good or not! :D was it mentioned already? i nv really caught the show's title :S

[aa-chan.livejournal.com]

I don't remember hearing about that one o_O .

[squints63.livejournal.com]

it was part of mago mago arashi.

[tomosuki.livejournal.com]

oo yeah, you're right! here's a clip i found of it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUgwxDvlJlM


sorri then! it's still mago mago arashi... :P

[aishriena.livejournal.com]

I heard somewhere that T in 'T No Arashi' stands for Test. It's a segment where Sho is testing the other members. I remember about this so suddenly which is why comment a bit late here.

Oooh, thanks for the update :) .
