I used to be an avid buyer of Arena Komik, which publishes like twice a month, but then I kinda stop buying them after going for my summer program in Japan… Because I am so OCD when it comes to buying them that I eventually ave up when I missed a couple of issues… XDDD
But suddenly today, when I was accompanying my okaa-chan to buy books for a local kindergarten, I had an urge to flip through the Arena Komik no.23 issue 05/12/2008… And SURPRISE!!! Look at what I found…
One whole page review on RYUUSEI NO KIZUNAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~ KYAAAAAAAAA~!!!
Now I wonder if they did the same for MAOU? Darn it, I really shouldnt have stop buying this mag…(T__T)
And here’s a whole page on HEY! SAY! JUMP! I will not say JUMP, thank you.
No need to translate these articles, basically these are info on HSJ and the review is about RnK~
But they did mention on the top bit of the OST by Arashi… XD
And Lo and Behold!!! A review on Arashi’s Single Beautiful Days!!!
Ahem, Translation:
“Arashi keeps their fan entertained with their 4th single of the year. This group from Johnny’s has hold the first place in the single’s chart for a few years in a row for a few years, and their singles “Step and Go”, “One Love” and “Truth” have all sold well like fried banana fritters. As they enter their 10th year in the J-Pop arena, they now are out with their latest single, “Beautiful Days.” This latest song by Arashi is also the theme song for the mysterious TBS drama, “Ryuusei no Kizuna” acted by Ninomiya Kazunari (Arashi), Nishikido Ryo (News/Kanjani 8 ) and Toda Erika.”
I should explain here that fried banana fritters are a favourite tea time dessert among Malaysians, kinda like how scones are to the British.. XDDD
Or, kinda like the expression “selling like hot cakes!” LOL!
And now some juicy gossip on Kame (why am I not surprised?) :
HAH! Translation hereeee :
“KAT-TUN member, Kamenashi Kazuya, has caused trouble due to having too much spare time (LOL!). This is due to their career going downhill (Seriously?). Kamenashi Kazuya was reported drunk and punched a taxi driver. While on the ride home, Kame suddenly started to get mad at the taxi driver. He claimed that the driver was going the wrong way. They fought over the matter and the taxi driver nearly got punched. A pedestrian who witnessed the scene imediately reported it to the police. After some investigation, the taxi driver was found to be going the right way. Kame and the management of Johnny’s apologized to the taxi driver. Kame promised not to drink alcoholic beverages again (Yeah, RIGHHHTTTT~).”
I crack myself up with this kinda stuff in the local magazine… XD
So to Malaysian fangirls out there with 5 bucks to spare, get this issue!!!

“…semuanya dijual seperti pisang goreng panas…”

The thing is, the latest issue is no.24… So I hope you get this issue… And knowing Malaysia’s publication system, issue 25 is probably out anyway, since it publishes twice a month (on the 5th and 20th of every month)…
I dunno if you can find a back issue.. But, good luck with searching for it! I would get you one if on ly mine wasn’t the last one the store had… :/
