This only took forever, but it's done now! In the last part, Aiba talks about his navigator role for artistic gymnastics and his overall attitude towards his work, wherein lots of praise is heaped upon him and he demurs like the professional that he is. ♥

I also included links to the previous parts for people who haven't read yet or need a refresher. Enjoy!

( Aiba - +act - 01/2012 - Part III (end) )

I couldn't resist giving this a try after falling in love with the song when I finally heard it in full. I'm a bit rusty with lyrics translations, not to mention the lyrics are unofficial and done purely by ear, so there will probably be mistakes until the official version is out!

Please also note that the .mp3 is a radio rip only. Enjoy!

Couldn't sleep at all, so I buckled down and translated this talk from last year between Joshima and Ohno-- in other words, TOKIO's and Arashi's leaders. They talked at length about the leadership (or lack thereof) within their respective groups, and also discussed the leaders of other older groups like V6, SMAP, and Shounentai. It's worth a read for the fans of any of these groups!

Scans by littlewinds if I'm not mistaken. Enjoy!

Last part to this long group interview from H! They talk about 2009 to present, and also talk about the future.

I hope you guys enjoyed their talk as much as I did. Enjoy!

As promised, here's the next part to their long group interview in the latest issue of H! I've been a fan of Arashi since late April of 2005, so I was particularly fond of this section and found myself reminiscing right along with them. They revealed some little known stories and showed that they share much of the same sentiments as us fans.

One more part to go! Enjoy. ♥

I'm going to split this into three parts since they're conveniently divided for me with separate prefaces for each "period" in Arashi's history (also because it's getting late and I'd like to get some sleep!).

I'll work more on this tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy!

The Q&A survey portion of this article can be found here.

This is only the Q&A survey portion of the 5-page article, which I will try to work on some more tomorrow to get at least a good chunk of it done. They're asked a bunch of questions about the group, focusing mostly on comparing past and present, and what they like about Arashi.

Enjoy!

Short but cute J-web entry by Nakai's manager in which he recounted a recent conversation that Nakai had with Aiba. Who's up for a little kouhai bullying? :)

Second half of the J-web report for their Wild At Heart PV shoot! This one details the rest of the scenes you see in the PV, which were the white room and the disco dancing.

It's really obvious that they had a blast shooting this PV-- now if only there was a Making of for it... :(

This is the first half of the J-web report for their Wild At Heart PV shoot! I'll be finishing up the second half tomorrow, probably. Look forward to it!

In the meantime, enjoy the blatant Ohmiya moments in this one. ;)

This is a short translation from the latest issue of The Television Weekly with Aiba on the cover. I only did the part where they actually brought a sample of Aiba's voice to an acoustic research institute to have it analysed, since the results were really interesting. Enjoy!

( Aiba - The Television Weekly - 02/11-17/2012 (partial) )

Sorry for taking so long with this! There's only one part left that's around the same length as this one, which I'll try to get out as soon as possible. In this part Aiba talks at length about his experiences visiting Yakushima for the documentary and his love of animals in general. Enjoy!

You can read the first part here.

Last one, which is another one of my favourites! I know there are mostly Arashi fans following this journal but I hope you enjoyed these songs too. :)

I haven't forgotten about Aiba's +act interview! In fact, I only just finished the last of my finals today so I'll have ample time over the next couple of weeks to catch up. In the meantime, I'm going to toss out here a few KinKi Kids lyrics translations that I did ages ago but never posted.

First up is Ai no Katamari, hands down one of my favourites of theirs. ♥ I also uploaded the song for anyone who's never heard it before. Enjoy!
