Arashi is massive and one of a legend in j-pop world! not just top idol in Japan but their album sales
basically the highest in Asia and ranked in top 10 worldwide. Based on
the popularity, kpop idols are nobody compare to them. They are crazy crazy popular even after 11 years debut. Any kpop idols who received their attention is fuckin’ lucky. Seems like girls (SNSD and KARA) did quite well there :)
ANTI-FAN: >Based on the popularity, kpop idols are nobody compare to them.

Hahaha… Are you kidding?

TVXQ, BIGBANG, SHINEE, B2ST, and 2PM, etc… MANY K-POP IDOLS ARE ALREADY MORE POPULAR THAN arashi IN ASIA

JUST WAKE UP, POOR GIRL.
ARASHI FAN: Umm, yes they ARE my dear ^^ To the point that Kpop idols respect them. Btw, Japan doesn’t promote them. And they don’t have official youtube channels. It’s more like, THERE ARE NO SONGS for arashi in Youtube. Because Japan dlts them. Yet they are big and they sell millions. They’ve beaten TVXQ’s fanclub with their million+ members in their Only-Japanese fanclub. Their sales JUST for 2010 was 17 BILLION and half. In case you didn’t know, they ALMOST knocked Lady Gaga down with their sales in last year’s “Global Yearly Album Chart”! Arashi are not just a music group. Arashi are hosts. They are OFFICIALLY hosts. They have like..9 shows? Sho is a NEWSCASTER. Matsumoto is like.. a legend in Asia? Ninomiya is known for his acting as he gained great attention in Hollywood in 2006.. Aiba has an animal show with Shimura Ken. Ohno opened his own art exhibition and gained great attention. Arashi’s fans age range is from kids to ELDERS. In cons, it’s normal to see a grandpa lifting his grandson standing next to you.
Arashi met with MANY famous American stars and when they met Cameron Diaz, she was like “Who doesn’t know of you?!” (Angelina Jolie got their 2009 album and said “My son’s gonna love that! 8D” LOL)

Arashi are loved for their 15 years old friendship bonds (Arashi is 11 yrs old). They’ve never had a fight. They have great chemistry. I used to be an Anti-Arashi but now I love them alot and I realized that I was blind.. I realized (after being in many jpop+kpop fandoms) that Arashi are different. I don’t like them for their music, because Arashi helped me realize that music isn’t everything in a group. When it comes to dancing/singing, Arashi are not the best in Asia, not the best in Japan and not even the best in JE (their agency) Arashi themselves say “we’re not good” (From “Time” Concert) and yet they sell BIG. And they don’t think big of themselves despite being this strong. It’s natural to love a group who wear stockings on their heads and smile brightly.LOL They are loved for their natural selves.
