Aiba back on stage in Wasurerarenai Hito!
12 Sep 2007 | Movies & Stage
This was first announced on July 19, so we're backdating a bit. 
Here's a summarisation from Sanspo news by yuuli:Aiba from Arashi playing the lead on the play 'Wasurerarenai Hito' this autumn for the first time in the last two years
The U.S. movie "Untamed Heart" will be dramatized and Aiba is
playing the lead role Adam! The play will be put on the stage from 22
October to 11 November at The Globe Tokyo in Tokyo, and from 16 to 18 November in Theater BRAVA! Osaka.
Right, I believe [Wasurerarenai Hito] translates to 'Unforgettable person' and you can find the schedule and information on Arashi's Concert/Stage page on Johnny's Net. There will be 29 performances (subject to changes) starting in Tokyo with the last five performances in Osaka. It's been two years since he last acted on the stage. All the best to you, Aiba!
Break a leg! 
The tickets are priced as follow:
- The Globe Tokyo (22/10~11/11): S seat- 8 500 Yen (~US$75) ; A seat- 7 500 Yen (~US$67); B seat- 5 500 Yen (~US$48).
- Osaka Theater BRAVA! (16/11~18/11): S seat- 8 500 Yen ; A seat- 7 500 Yen.
(But I think the tickets had sold out by now. They were released at the start of September.)
You can call the 24-hour information voice service at 0180-993-774.
Anyway, here's the Amazon.com review for 1993 'Untamed Heart' movie starring Christian Slater as Adam and Marisa Tomei playing Caroline:

Happiness reach beyond 192 000 units!
12 Sep 2007 | Singles & Albums
Arashi gained three consecutive number 1 singles this year with their upbeat, cheery 20th single, [Happiness]. The opening theme song to Nino and Sho's [Yamada Taro Monogatari] summer drama sold 192 196 copies in the first week of its sale alone to reign comfortably on the Oricon Charts. 
The single was released on 5th September 2007.
This is the second time they managed the 3-in-1 feat. In 2002, they scored a hat trick with [A Day in Our Life], [Nice na Kokoroiki] and from their first movie, [Pikanchi]. As of September, with [Love So Sweet], [We can make it!] and [Happiness] - all of which were featured as the opening theme songs to the members' very popular dramas this year, Arashi has the most number of #1 singles in 2007.
Congratulations everyone, Arashi members, staff and fans, and thank you for your unending support!
Phew! My, my... What a way to celebrate the release of their 20th single eh?
Here's hoping for either a second consecutive week at #1 or breaking the 500 000 units target or both. Everyone, ganbare masho!
