The point of this post is not to just post the officially listed material in the single releases, but to include every edition and all of the material that was known to be in the releases.  What this means is: Secret Talks, stickers, posters, differences in the type of CD or packaging, editions only released to the Fan Club, etc.  So this is ( Read more... )

Part 2! Yay!!!  This happens to be my 100th post!  No time to celebrate; back to work. (busy-busy-busy) (=.=)v

Again, Here's the obvious companion to my Arashi Album Track-lists project: the Arashi Single Track-lists project!  I included all editions of each release, but to make it shorter, I put the tracks included on all editions first, then ( Read more... )

So I don't forget, here are my predictions for the next Mannequin 5 Special (although I'll probably forget I posted this anyway):

1- Sho (I see the boring colors and slightly-off matching and no one else comes to mind, the shoes kind of seem Sho-like too)
2- Jun (it just screams him, especially the glasses and bracelets, maybe someone's doing a ( Read more... )

Here's the obvious companion to my Arashi Album Track-lists project: the Arashi Single Track-lists project!  I included all editions of each release, but to make it shorter, I put the tracks included on all editions first, then tracks on less than all editions below with asterisks to indicate which edition(s) they belong to.  Formatting is again- ( Read more... )

Okay, so livejournal posts have a length limit and I reached it.  That's why I here present part 2:
Again, I took the track-lists from the discography on the Arashi section of the official JE site and translated the Japanese myself.  I always used the Limited Edition First Press as the basis.  I like to use phonetic Japanese spelling so "ou" and "oo ( Read more... )

I took the track-lists from the discography on the Arashi section of the official JE site and translated the Japanese myself.  I like to use phonetic Japanese spelling so "ou" and "oo". (etc.)  I didn't bother with the stylization of the titles, but I did for the song writers' names if they were written in English.  Unless there's an asterisk by ( Read more... )

Ok, so I said I wasn't going to do threesomes, but I can't seem to stop organizing things lately.  Mabye I have too much free time. XP

Anyway, to keep things easier, I decided to use only the final name smashes from the pairing project and only the name syllables that turned out to be actually used in the accepted fandom name smashes.  I made an ( Read more... )

Today we'll replicate a project that I randomly did a while back and decided to expand upon in the last few days when I rediscovered it.  Let's determine Why the Arashi Pairing Names Are What They Are!!!!

This is the process we'll follow: 1) Writing the full names, 2) Finding the recognizable syllables, 3) Finding all scrunch options, 4) Finding all ( Read more... )

Under each cut (or in each section) is the tracklist that I've taken from the discography on the official JE website.  I've translated into English alongside the original Japanese.  Instead of translating the parts that show the singer's name literally, I used the short form of the names for convenience.  I cut out the extra features that didn't ( Read more... )

This is a preliminary list of Arashi's covers and original songs never released on CD.  I went through all the discography on the JE site to try to find where some of the covers came from.  I went based off of the same name not necessarily checking that the actual track was the same.  This mostly applied to the Suppin concert when they didn't have ( Read more... )
