Because J--Storm had not release DVDs before (ONE Tour!), I am getting worried. ^^;;
If they were to release the DVD, it has to be before their next tour starts. Whenever that will be, if any.

I wonder if they have problems with the audio/visual as it was raining during Kokuritsu. I'm thinking Kokuritsu+Dome together. Either one can be the digest version. Waku Waku Gakkou... J-Storm likes to pull surprises.

I wonder if they would couple Arashi's future releases with charity. Certain percentage goes to charity like SMAP did with their last album. If they were to raise donations for 24-hr tv, this would be one of the best way to go. Also T-shirt design. ^^

They haven't announced anything for summer yet. Summer is usually Arashi tour season. Already expecting someone acting in 24hr tv drama SP. Nino and Jun already did them before. This year... Sho...? But he already has 2 SPs in Spring.

I know he shed his weight for Blackboard, but I do hope his dieting is monitored by a certified nutritionist. With his intense schedule already mentally demanding, the thought of the stress to his body... T_T

Olympics this year is between 27 July and 12 August. If they were to have a tour, it could start end of August or early September. Their usual pattern.

If News Zero send Sho over to London, could we possibly have an English version of their song or something, please. Or NTV could send Arashi over to perform there as well. Do a special PV or tv show or the like. Can you imagine an Encounter with the Unknown London SP in Shiyagare? Maybe a 'how to be a sir' Dandyism corner SP with the Godfathers/mothers bringing Arashi on a field trip in London. :D

I used to think that Arashi usually leave two 'anchors' free from individual projects, so the anchors could shoulder their variety shows and other stuff. With the anchors, the others could relax a bit. However, now each of them have their own projects. They're really committed to spread a sliver of happiness to the public.

Hmm... I wonder if the Shiyagare Western face-off is done to lighten the burden on Arashi, especially Sho, from hosting the show. Sometimes I just want the others to speak and lead the conversation with the anikis more, so Sho can relax a bit. There are times Sho stood a step back from everyone else (usually behind Ohno), and even made it hard for the cameras to film him. I wonder if he is unconsciously trying to blend into the background to get a breather. I think the others (Nino, Jun and Aiba) picked up on that and they tend to talk more when that happened.

Anyway, I personally don't think Arashi have much say in the final outcome of their DVD. They just filmed and hope for the best. If they had, they would so include Sho filming Nino and Aiba bathing during the training camp. XD
Looks like J-Storm is determined to keep their DVDs suitable for general viewing. G-rated.
If Arashi were to be involved, it is most likely Sho and Jun.
From their recent VS Arashi project meetings, it seemed those two tend to be the main idea generators and decision makers.

Hmm... Personally I would like to see J-Storm marketing for million-in-a-week sales. What kind of epicness could arise from that? Reading some fan reports about CDs being sold out and fans had to pre-order copies from their retail stores in Japan prompted me to wonder if J-Storm is actually on the conservative side with the no. of copies they published.

I'm expecting another single and DVD, then a new album followed by a tour. Then another 1/2 singles before the end of the year. Arashi need to be given a break in Autumn and before the year-end frenzy starts.

To have a Jounestu Tairiku documentary on Arashi/Sho this year would be amazing. I wonder how they juggled all their personal and professional, and individual and group commitments...
