This is a post containing all of the Arashi songs included in their concerts that were officially released on VHS/DVD.  I considered including the release of the One Summer Tour that was released on the Arashic album, but determined that it wasn't listed as a DVD release and the selection of songs represented is extremely limited.  The One Summer ( Read more... )
