On November 20th in the evening, the popular five member group took over Tokyo Disney Sea to hold a special event. [Tokyo Disney Sea is a theme park adjacent to Tokyo Disneyland.] Artists such as Yazawa Eikichi and Tohoshinki have also performed events in the same place.
Arashi appeared at 'Mediterranean Harbor' on a boat. They sang a greatest hits medley in which they performed 6 songs including 'One Love' and 'A・RA・SHI'. At the last part of the show 44 Disney characters led by Mickey Mouse joined in. While fireworks went up, the Arashi members concluded the event with a dreamlike finale.
3500 pairs of fans, or 7000 people were invited to the event for free. 5 million applications had been sent. That meant that 1400 applications had been made for each highly sought after ticket. Matsumoto Jun wryly smiled and revealed "Even all my family members couldn't win a ticket." All five members had visited Tokyo Disney Resort countless times since they had been little, so they really enjoyed holding an event there. Group leader Ohno Satoshi said "We still can't believe it. It's a surreal experience."

The Arashi members host a regularly broadcast TV program titled '嵐の宿題くん / Arashi no Shukudai-kun [lit. 'Arashi members' homework']'. The members tackle many challenges that are (erroneously) dubbed 'shukudai [宿題; homework]'! In one episode TOKIO member Nagase was the guest, and together they held a funny sports festival! Have any of you seen the broadcast?
The five Arashi members all wore identical sports jerseys and bandanas around their heads. They did not look at all like the Arashi that fans are used to seeing! The artists were divided into two separate teams each with three players. They competed in a 5 meter 'caterpillar race'. [In a 'caterpillar race' each team lines up single file, and the player at the front bends over with hands on the ground. Each successive player bends over and holds onto the ankles of the player in front of him; thus becoming a 'caterpillar'. The 'caterpillar' has to race around a cone or other object all the while making sure the 'caterpillar' formation doesn't fall apart.] Ohno, Matsumoto and Sakurai teamed up, while the other team's members were Aiba, Ninomiya and Nagase.
Since they usually perform as a group, fans probably would think they have great teamwork. It turned out things weren't that simple. Both teams were huffing and puffing while having trouble moving inside the narrow race track. The moment Nagase reached the finish line he shouted "I broke my personal record!" Which was a bit strange since Nagase had said it was his first time to compete in a 'caterpillar race'! It was actually Ohno's team that won the match. Why had team Nagase been so confident they had won?
If you were to participate in a caterpillar race, which Arashi member will you like to have on your team? If you were asked to form a team that has the most chance of winning, will the members be different?
Currently celebrating their 10th anniversary, Johnny's Entertainment group Arashi has seen their popularity skyrocket in the past year. It seems they have no intention of slowing down as they have been added to the lineup for NHK's Red and White Singing Contest.
Their newest single 'My Girl' has also become a hit, successfully earning them the top 4 spots on this year's Oricon singles chart with the highest first week sales. 'My Girl' has reached number 3 on the charts, just after 'Ashita no Kioku / Crazy Moon' and 'Believe / Kumorinochi Kaisei'. The fourth spot also belongs to them with their previous single 'Everything'. They seem to have effortlessly dominated the sales in the singles chart for 2009.
In addition, fans from all over the world were thrilled when they announced their appearance on NHK's Red and White Singing Contest. It is the first time that Johnny's Entertainment will be having four groups perform on the show. Arashi's popularity has continued to rise within this year, especially riding on the success of individual projects from all five members. To be invited to perform at the 60th Red and White Singing Contest during their 10th year seems very appropriate.
