Haruna Ai reached her goal of Nippon Budokan on time!
This year’s 24-Hour Television has just ended moments ago, and the runner for this year, Haruna Ai, reached to the goal at Nippon Budokan with time to spare! Before she got started, Ai asked Nagase Tomoya (TOKIO) to give her a hug as a reward if she could reach the goal without quitting, and Tomoya stayed true to his word as he gave her a big embrace at the finish.
Although Ai’s make-up completely melted away, she had no time or strength left to even think about her appearance. By the end, the condition of her knees was quite poor, but she kept running, and endured a hard marathon of 85 km.
Very well done, Haruna Ai!
The total amount of money raised was almost ¥280,000,000.
Arashi members hold secret birthday party, Matsujun touched to tears
Johnny's popular group Arashi's Matsumoto Jun had his 27th birthday on August 30, members of arashi specially prepared a grand celebration party, which had matsujun touched to tears.
Under the suggestion of leader Ohno Satoshi, during last weekend members of Arashi specially rented an Italian restaurant in Azabu to celebrate Matsujun's birthday. Although it falls on the 30th but due to the busy schedule of members it is difficult to gather together on that day thus they decided to bring forward the celebration. As according, the staff of Hitmitsu no Arashi-chan and Arashi ni Shiyagare participated in the preparation of this party. "to give matsumoto a surprise, everyone lied to him that they are coming to this eatery for the filming of Hitmitsu no Arashi-chan for location shooting" accordingly in normal circumstances staff does not help in the parties of artistes (as it is out of their work field) but this is "for the sake of arashi only". Arashi not only became the most money-making idol group in a short time, their charm also mesmerised many in the entertainment industry.
The party started from midnight 00AM, members of Arashi each brought their sincerely prepared presents. "Recently Matsujun is into yakiniku (Korean barbecue) and hot springs", members thus use this as a guide to start their "detailed investigation". Ohno Satoshi and Ninomiya Kazunari had chosen hot spring lodging vouchers, while Aiba Masaki and Sakurai Sho selected vouchers of "10 times free eating of yakiniku".
The corner of the last part of the party is, other than Matsujun, the other 4 members shot a VTR video together, consisting of their pictures pieced together from their debut till date. 4 of them even specially added their own narration and music alongside the video. After watching the video matsujun can no longer hold on and said with strong emotions, "it's happiness to be a member of Arashi", while flowing with tears of tenderness.
The friendship and teamwork between members of Arashi is one of their selling point, this time during Matsujun's birthday it once again reflects the thick relationship ties between them. Other members not only sent their carefully prepared presents, but also the shooting of this super "tear bomb" video had let the usual manly Matsujun touched to tears. It can be assuredly said that this is the secret of the popularity of Arashi.

The first official SMAP magazine, published by Magazine House and titled THE SMAP MAGAZINE, went on sale on Wednesday. The 176-page volume was developed this year in collaboration with the editing teams behind popular magazines Popeye and anan.
“SMAP are a national phenomenon who are always leading the pack and have won fans of all ages. Why do they endlessly attract fans like that? We wanted to explore the secret of their immense appeal, so we concentrated all of our efforts on creating this magazine,” explained a Magazine House spokesperson.
The magazine covers a lot of ground including photography from fashionable new shoots overseen by popular stylists as well as a wide variety of shots from the 1990s spanning most of the band’s career. It also features conversations between the band and other celebrities. Actor Takuya Kimura and Softbank President Son Masayoshi appear and Goro Inagaki chats with manga artist Naoki Urasawa.
Please note that the gossip blog article posted previously in the community about how Arashi celebrated Jun's birthday with an extravagant party is false.
According to Jun's latest Natsu no Michishirube, he received texts and presents from the members-- all of them except for Ohno, that is. Nino gave him a practice mat for golf putting, Aiba gave him "eccentric" clothes, and Sho gave him a halfket (Japanese blankets that are half the size of a normal blanket). He also received presents from the staff and cookies from Takeuchi Yuko. I haven't seen the full text of the entry in question up anywhere yet, but talk of that Jweb entry is all over Japanese fans' blogs, some revealing more details than others.
ya ampun!! sapa yg bijak pandai buat cite pasal birthday jun tuuuuuuuuuuuu..
rajin dan bengong dan xde keje keeeee
While Arashi member Matsumoto Jun’s embarrassing photos continued its tour of the entire Kanto area on the show’s giant ad trailer, Tsuchiya Anna (26) appeared on the Himitsu no Arashi Chan VIP Room tonight.  Tsuchiya is currently promoting her third album, RULE, available on the 22nd of this month.
Tsuchiya said that what she wanted to do with Arashi more than anything else was to play Beach Flags, and Arashi obliged; complete with on-set beach!  The cast raced down the man-made beach in groups of three.  In this game, the first to snatch the flag wins, and Arashi’s fastest memeber, Aiba Masaki, beat Ohno and Ninomiya in the first round.  Mastumoto beat Tsuchiya and Sakurai, but lost to Aiba by a hair.  Aiba’s prize:  13 kg of shellfish!
At the end of the games, Tsuchiya’s pick of the Arashi boys was Matsumoto Jun because he let her have half of the oyster he was eating previously.
In the Mannequin Five conor, DAIGO (32) and comedian Gekidan Hitori (33) guest starred while Tokyo Girls Collection models their Fall style choices.  In the end, DAIGO, with his gold-studded fingerless gloves and goofy rock walk, was left alone in the shop … still refusing to give up his gloves.
