Arashi

[Sae]

Okay I officially LOVE this band. *ahem*Matsumoto Jun *AHEM* Anyways, They did the opening theme to the live action (the only good one ever made) of Hana Yori Dango (J-Drama). "WISH" by Arashi was the song and it has the BEST music video AND live concert I have EVER seen! Arashi is sort of.....no.....is COMPLETELY a boy band that seemingly resembles Backstreet Boys. Except all THESE guys are gorgeous! Matsumoto Jun (one of the awesome vocalists, BTW they all sing in unisign like BB did but, again, better) was one of the lead characters in Hana Yori Dango.

I didn't actually seen Hana Yori Dango, because there was shown here very similar to that Meteor Garden (I really hate it) but I've seen MatsuJun in Gokusen playing the role of Shin Sawada... and yes!!! he is really cute...

I've seen Arashi way back when W-inds was still around ^^ I didn't know his name back then, but I liked Jun. It was nice to see him in Gokusen.

Finally! Someone else who hates Meteor Garden *hugs lyleanna* By the way,, Meteor Garden IS based on Hana Yori Dango. The settings and names were changed to Chinese, but it is basically the same story.

Wish is an awsome song! the MV is abit lame tho..
But yeah annywho! I am in love with them..and Jun matsumoto is pretty cute..as are all the cute boys involved with Jonny's entertainment.. (i'm pretty sure arashi is jonny's..) LIke Kat-tun, Koichi Domoto!! So wonderful!

They've got some amusing videos of Arashi on youtube, although I guess I find them amusing since I'm not a fan.

Meteor Garden was pretty terrible. I made it halfway before giving up on it completely.

Hana Yori Dango was very good and excellently done. Although I would never ever say that Matsumoto Jun is hot, he can be cute at times depending on his acting.

If you liked him in Hana Yori Dango, then he's also in Kimi wa Petto... and he's cute like a puppy in that.

the MV is abit lame tho..

The puppets were reall cute though.

Changing my earlier statement: W-inds is still around. I love 'em ^^

Meteor Garden was pretty terrible.

At first I thought the Chinese take on a Japanese story was pretty funny, but after a few episodes, I realized it was damaging my brain.

No. Puppets = creepiness.

The presentation was just bad. And I couldn't stand her family in Meteor Garden. They were so completely annoying that I literally skipped ahead whenever her mother and father came into the scene. I couldn't even bear to watch them and listen to her mother's screechy voice. I still get nightmares from that. :suspiciou

Her family in Hana Yori Dango was fantastic. They were hilarious.

I tried watching the J-Drama for Hana Yori Dango, but sadly, I found it too boring and never finished the first episode... And about the band, I didn't really like the song neither, not trying to say anything bad about them though.

[silan]

Are you kidding? The J-version of Hana Yori Dango is so fast-paced that there isn't time to be bored.

[lyleanna]

I've never seen Hana Yori Dango but I think it's more better to watch than any version of it...

Just like what lyleanna said...

I haven't seen Arashi's music videos but yes... I have heard their song in Hana Yori Dango... I think it's(Hana Yori Dango) way better than Meteor Garden (sorry to those Meteor Garden fans... Sumimasen...-_-)

and again I'll agree on what lyleanna said about Jun Matsumoto... he's really cute and I think he's the best choice for playing Swada Shin of Gokusen... He really is a bishounen!!!

Well, you never know. I always thought Sarah Geronimo didn't have anymore fans either but...

[lyleanna]

you can say Sarah have some because you can still see her in TV but F4?
no... after the commercial, tv guesting and the popularity way back 2 years ago I guess and never returned here

the people are still continue to look for another popular icon...
that's what I think (maybe I'm just too mean... Sorry for all those meteor garden fan, if any ) but ever since it started.. I never like them

well back to arashii (were getting off the subject)
I've seen some picture of the group and give me a hit that
he is the only one who is cute... hahahhaha
and has some of the members has it's own J-dorama?

[kyubichan]

Arashi!!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arashi)

So, they started in '99... I guess that makes me one of their first fans XD

Matsumoto Jun isn't cute.

He was a good actor in Hana Yori Dango, and sure, he won me over in Kimi wa Petto, but he's not cute.

I remember the first time I watched HYD. There's an introduction sequence (for those of you who haven't seen it) that flashes quickly through all the members of F4 as they come walking into the school. All the other guys are cute, so I was expecting a super-hot guy for Jun's character. But when his image came up, I thought, "Wha--?!"

I gradually grew to like him over the course of the series, and there is a cuteness to some of his expressions, but he's definitely not hot or cute per se.

In my opinion, at least.

Hotness is Tamayama Tetsuji or Nagase Tomoya or even Kimura Takuya. Rawr.

Oh, and on topic: Arashi. Yay.
