for my final project for japanese pop culture, i'm making a 10 minute informational video about Arashi! i'm editing together clips i've downloaded and recording myself as a voice-over narrator. now that my_deep_sea has solved my video problem, i'm just lookin for a little help and input:

- do you have any info on:
the aiba/ex-girlfriend sexy pictures scandal
popularity statistics

- any photos of their tremendously silly costumes?

- what song do you think best features Ohno's voice?

- and finally, is there anything you guys feel like i should definitely not overlook??

(sorry, x-posted like crazy)

I know that Arashi is in the top-five grossing bands under JE; Nino lists them at one point, although that was before NewS' debuted so I'm not sure if the ranking still stands (KAT-TUN, despite what people think, is in fact below Arashi on the earnings totem pole). Ones I KNOW he mentioned were SMAP, Tokio, V6, and KinKi Kids.

Here's the girlfriend pics in question; (http://pics.livejournal.com/honooko/pic/000gqp4f) not that racy if you ask me. It's kind of cute. You can see just by looking at them that they must have been together more than a year, because Aiba-chan ages. That's all the info on that topic I've got.

I've also got Aiba-chan's letter on 24hr TV, but it's on my laptop. I can uploaded it when I get home this evening though. MU okay?

i'd seen the photos but the caption was just that his exgirlfriend leaked them and he got in trouble.
and yes, MU is totally good.
thank you very much ^-^v!!

hi :) interesting project you have. good luck on the presentation.

this is just my opinion. size [from his solo con] and deep sorrow [from the playzone butai] are ohchan's best songs *however, i think there's no available clear audio files for these songs*. rain is actually okay, but top secret has less vocal parts, so i don't know about that. his solo parts in the ff songs could be enough: blue (live and cd versions), subarashiki sekai (the arashic bonus dvd version *ONE concert*): my favorite, paretto (palette).

i can give you caps of their concert costumes later after work (if you want).
