Happy Lunar New Year

Happy new year, dear fellow Chinese fans.

I'm back at 'home' to visit my relatives, so I can use the net a little!! (It's complicated)

Interesting reads from the friend list:

Rumours of economic disparity within Arashi and Sho setting up his own jimusho
HAHAHA. Ridiculous. WHo can do that in the J entertainment world and not get ostrasized? No, not even THE Sakurai can do it. But I welcome any news about their earnings. It's like the greatest mystery of JE.

Arashi's cariculture on Asahi Shinbun
It's so cute, I want it!! People are selling it at.....................the price of a magazine. =.=

I'm really proud of the boys. The title of the spread is

ARASHI meets MANGA - Nippon no Arashi, Nippon no Manga

I'm so so proud of this.

Because, we all know that manga is one culture asset of Japan ne. Hence, 'Nippon no Manga".

And then, "Nippon of Arashi". Can I extrapolate the above and say that Arashi is considered an asset of Japan too? Not to the same level but around the same level as manga is?

And the thing is, under each manga art of the member is a product advertisement.
AU Android.
Nitendo 3DS
Hitachi products
Tongari corn
Arashi jet (with the official Arashi logo!!!)

It's like Arashi has transversed the advertisement industry such that various advertisers are coming together to launch a combined campaign. <3

The power of Arashi.
