Arashi Whips Fans Into Frenzy

By Cathy Rose A. Garcia

Popular Japanese pop group Arashi whipped thousands of Korean fans into a state of frenzy, as they staged four sold-out concerts in Seoul over the weekend.

It has been two years since Arashi performed in Seoul, but judging from the deafening screams at the Olympic Fencing Stadium, their fans are as crazy about them as ever. The group is in the middle of a three-city Asian tour, “Arashi Around Asia 2008.”

Arashi Speaking Korean

Arashi’s first Korea tour interview in 2006 and action on stage !

Footage of Arashi’s interview during the Asia Song Festival in 2006 and snippets of the concert during that time can be seen on Daum tv. Arashi is currently in Korea for their 2nd concert, with shows on the 1st and 2nd of November.

Arashi’s members, Ohno Satoshi, Sakurai Sho, Ninomiya Kazunari, Aiba Masaki and Matsumoto Jun are seen excitedly practising their Korean on the plane and it follows with a recording of the press conference.

The members greeted the media in simple Korean but Sakurai Sho proceeded to give a lengthy greeting in fluent Korean. His pronunciation was also admirable and was highly praised by the packed media in attendance. As expected, Sakurai puts in his utmost effort in everything, bravo ! With the concert this time round, he will probably polish up on his Korean further.

Comment : AWESOME!!! I love this DVD *cough* No, I am not bias LOL As usual you will see high tension Arashi, with an awesome choreography and of course every tiny thing that involving Nino and Ohno. Their MC cracks you up like usual. Nino on piano definitely will make you melted.
