Hi, I'm fairly new to the community and I just wanted to share something I found interesting. I heard part of a rock version of "You Are My Sunshine (my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey...)" as the background music of a car commercial today, and noticed that the tune of the "you are my" part is basically the same as the chorus of A-Ra-Shi, so similar in fact that I starting singing "You are my soul! Soul! Itsumo sugu soba ni aru" before I realized there was no way an American commercial would play Arashi music. Has anyone else noticed this? This may just be proof that Arashi has fully devoured my brain, haha.

LoL!!

My sister and I've seen that commercial, too! The first time we heard it our attention went straight to the TV and we almost sang, "You are my soul! Soul!"

Hahaha. So funny. I thought we were the only ones to notice it. ^^

I'm curious now. I'd love to hear/see it :D Maybe someone will rip it? :P

This is actually not the commercial I saw, mine was a Chevy commercial. But I'm pretty sure they both had the same song, which is kind of strange.

It's true! You are my soul, soul!

I am so glad to hear that I am not the only person who did that. My brain just "expects" things to be Arashi. They may have devoured your brain, but not your's alone.

Is there a link to the song or something? I've never heard it before.

Here's a commercial with the version I heard. The original version that most people hear is much softer, there's a couple versions of that on youtube if you just search the song name.

LOL. I've seen that commercial too! I was just thinking about it the other day.
I first noticed it when my friend was singing the song (it was a cloudy day), and I couldn't hear her clearly so I thought she was singing A-Ra-Shi. xD

omg haha I thought I was the only one!! I saw the commercial about 5 times today, and everytime the song would start, I'd start singing, "YOU ARE MY SOUL SOUL- ..oh nm ._."

I even told my mom, "I've been listening to too much Arashi x_x" ..she had no idea what or who I was talking about haha
