Who wants it?

In an interview with PON !, he was given a question, "What is your unconsciousness experience lately?". He answered that in the past, when he was given a day off, he is the type of person who actively engaged. But, lately he feels that it is better to spend at ease. He think it is also good to feel unconsciousness. 

Look at his expression 😁

Arashi wins Artist of the Year at the JAPAN GOLD DISC AWARD

The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) have announced the winners of "THE 31ST JAPAN GOLD DISC AWARD". 

Awards are based on sales number, and the winners of this year were chosen from data compiled between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016. The 'Artist of the Year' award, which goes to the artist with the biggest sales for the year, went to Arashi once again. This is their third consecutive year and fifth time to be recognized with this award.

A news TV program in Japan, PON!,  has made a calculation of how much revenue that Arashi get last year. The total sales are:

• Single : 2.199.439 copies
• Album : 879.140 copies
• Music Video : 1.269.802 copies

And here is the calculation:

• Single : 2.199.439 x 1.200 yen = 2.639.323.200 yen
• Album : 879.140 x 3.300 yen = 2.901.162.000 yen
• Music Video : 1.269.802 x 5.463 yen = 6.936.928.326 yen

So, the total of how much they get in last year is 12.477.413.526 yen!

At the opening, the TV narrator reads a thank you message from Arashi (this is so rare, usually Arashi will say it themselves). The message saying, "Thank you for always supporting us! Thanks to everyone, we was able to receive a prosperous prize. We was able to feel the fans closeness throughout the year. For us, last year was also a happy year. And we will do our best to deliver a lot of happiness through work, media, stage at this year too!"

(Maybe they didn't appear to the TV because of Sho's rumor 😢)

Arashi omedetou!!

Sakurai Sho Reported to be Dating with Ogawa Ayaka

I'm sure that many of you have heard about this news. Sakurai Sho reported to be dating with a news announcer, Ogawa Ayaka, who is 3 years younger than him. They both have a great background, so I think they perfect for each other. Also they have similar face, especially their eyes.

Maybe you have seen their photos on the news. Both of their agencies didn't denied the rumor, they just said that they are a close friends.
