松潤「MJウオーク」初披露
マイケル・ジャクソン(48)の伝説の「ムーンウオーク」から四半世紀。嵐の“MJ2世”こと松本潤(23)が、同グループの全国ツアーで驚異の“エアウオーク”を本邦初公開している。

 30日に横浜アリーナで行われた同ツアー公演。ソロ曲で、ステージ上空15メートルのレールの下に逆さで立ったマツジュン。両腰のワイヤを命綱に50メートルをしなやかに歩く、歩く。会場の1万5000人の悲鳴も心地いい。バンジージャンプを挟み、背中を地面と平行にして上に歩く余裕も見せた。

 自ら名付けた超E難度技は「MJ WALK」。10日間のスタジオ猛特訓で会得し「ほかの方にも使ってほしい」。5人で新曲「Happiness」(9月5日発売)を披露し、9月23、24日の京セラドーム大阪、10月7、8日の東京ドームでの追加公演も発表した。

日本初!嵐・松潤が天井ウオーク
人気グループ「嵐」が30日、神奈川・横浜アリーナで行ったコンサートで、松本潤(23)が日本初の冒険パフォーマンスを披露した。空中を逆さまになって歩くもので、天地が逆転したかのような演出にファンは大興奮。24曲の熱唱に1万5000人が酔いしれた。

 髪を逆立てて頭上を歩く松本に、会場がどよめきに包まれた。天井からつり下げられた長さ50メートルの特設セット。関係者によると日本初の試みだという。ソロ曲「Yabai−Yabai−Yabai」のイントロ部分で、約1分かけて歩き切った。途中、落下してバンジージャンプのように戻ってくる場面もあり、ファンは大興奮だった。

 腰の両サイドにワイヤをつけているとはいえ、高さ15メートルを歩くのは恐怖が伴う。都内のスタジオにセットを設置し、10日間の特訓を積んで臨んだ松本は「だれもやったことのないことがしたかった」とニンマリ。自らのイニシャルをとって「MJウオーク」と命名したが、相葉雅紀(24)は「そんな名前を付けられたら、(同イニシャルの)マイケル・ジャクソンくらいしか使えませんよ」と笑った。

 14日からスタートしたサマーツアーの12公演目。この日、追加が発表された東京ドーム公演(9月23、24日)など全47公演で約64万人の動員を予定している。

 11月でデビューから丸8年。9月5日には区切りの20枚目のシングル「Happiness」が発売される。櫻井翔(25)は「4月の東京ドーム公演で1つの句点を打てた。次のステップに行く最初のコンサート。これからも新しいことに挑戦していきたい」と力強く宣言した。

嵐、ドーム4公演追加を決定…松本潤が逆さ吊り新演出披露
人気グループ、嵐が現在展開中の全国ツアーの追加公演として、ドーム4公演(9月23、24日京セラドーム大阪、10月7、8日東京ドーム)を行うことが30日、発表された。

 今ツアーでの東京・大阪公演のチケット抽選に外れたファンの総数が、何と38万人に達したための緊急処置。この日公演が行われた横浜アリーナで本番前に会見した二宮和也(24)は「最初から会場を大きくしてくれれば、38万人もあふれることはないんですけど。僕ら、ジャニーズ事務所での評価が低いもので、すいません。8番目くらいです(笑)」と毒舌交じりにファンに謝罪した。

 この日のステージでメンバーは、9月5日発売の新曲「Happiness」など22曲を熱唱したほか、松本潤(23)が地上15メートルの高さで逆さ吊りになって歩く命がけの新演出「MJ WALK」を披露するなど、2時間半以上にわたって1万5000人のファンを熱狂させた。

 充実した内容のライブに加え、今年の年間動員数はドーム4公演の追加で100万人を突破する。名実共に日本を代表するグループへ成長を続ける5人。もう誰も“8番目”とは思わない?

Woooo, we really have lots of report on Arashi's press conference this morning on the newspapers ne!! Most of these reports focus on Jun and his JAPAN-FIRST MJ WALK attempt (solo). The other focus is on the scale of this year's summer concert based on the number of fans who will watch!

The other main topic is of course the upcoming Dome concerts....

Wanted you all the look at what Kazu said in Sanspo news (I already attached on top). It is quite interesting so will translate briefly for you guys:

二宮和也(24)は「最初から会場を大きくしてくれれば、38万人もあふれることはないんですけど。僕ら、ジャニーズ事務所での評価が低いもので、すいません。8番目くらいです(笑)」と毒舌交じりにファンに謝罪した。

Pertaining to the sudden change to Dome venue, Ninomiya Kazunari said:
If only in the beginning the venue is bigger, we can definitely accomodate 380,000 fans overall. But, we Arashi, our "value" within Johnnys Office is low, we are so sorry about this (I think he meant that they have no BARGAINING POWER with the management). We are probably only at No 8 within the office.


The above is how Kazu apologized to fans on the sudden change of venue. His comments, although said with a smile, aimed directly at critisizing JE on the LOW 'STATUS' of Arashi within the office. Many fans read this and totally agreed. If only JE know how PORPULAR Arashi is, they would have been given the Dome venue in the first place.....

Something to ponder about, I think..... Hope you guys can see the 'STATUS' of our boys within JE ne....

COMMENT

MJ walk?
frist in japan?!
sugoi!!!
i'm guessing this was the hai hai hai er...fight song? ^^
and jun's solo ne? ^_______^

Hello dear! Its Jun's SOLO yo!!

Etto, i think maybe Nino didn't mean it that way. Nino has a wicked sense of humor but to "critise" the jimusho like that in front of the press would be seen as very rude amd quite out of character for him. The "8th" refers to where Arashi currently lies in senority amongst the currently debuted and active groups. As we know, Johnny's Jimusho values senority and respect more than anything else (least until Kat-tun came along and tried to mess things up but with their popularity fading this yr, things are back to normal)

As of currently, this is the senority chart as goes

1) Matchy san
2) Shounentai
3) SMAP
4) TOKIO
5) Kinki*
6) V6
7) Tackey and Tsubasa*
8) Arashi

* Kinki is considered more senior cos they were a group before V6 although they cd debuted later than V6.
* TT is considered more senior than Arashi although they cd debuted later cos they were the junior leaders of their batch and their average age is older than that of Arashi's.

so many news!! it is sad to know that they have low status in JE..
i thought that they are already very popular?? haix..
so have u decide to go??

Hello Gale!! Thanks for the information ne! Well, when I read what Kazu said, it DID sounded like he was a little cynical about the whole CHANGE of VENUE thing.....

Knowing Kazu, I actually won't put it passed him to critisize JE yo ha ha ha..... Although he may say it in a HARMFUL way....

In terms of seniority, definitely Arashi is the 8th group based on debut timing ne....

Hello Mindy!! Not sure if I am going yet though... Still thinking yo...... arrrrgh!

For JE, the value and power you have directly corresponds with your senority. Nino most likely meant they can't be upstarts and start demanding stuff when your seniors are not doing it. Value for the jimusho has little to do with current popularity.

Sorry, think my msg was too long so had to split it cos fc2blog kept prompting me error.

Thanks Gale! Ya FC2 sometimes have this problem with long messages!!

Yup I think JE is probably based on seniority, but I am slighly surprised by Kazu's comments too.... He could have NOT commented anything but knowing how all fans felt (we are all NOT happy about the sudden change it is very disturbing to our own schedule as well as to our wallet! ha ha), he knew that he had to say something.... Fans were asking all over their blogs WHY not just add Dome concert instead of CHANGING Yokohama to Dome.... and this is a good question, we fans felt ne.....

Now we are left with the headache of having to ballot AGAIN sigh....

●Maa...

Nino is known for his sharp tongue and sarcasm anyway. It's great that he spoke out for the fans "bashing " Johnny's for us haha naughty boy! But he gets away with it because most of what he says, we all agree. v-221

Jun was outright complaining . . . But I'm assuming that he could get away with it since he's of the elite . . .

Hello Dunadan and Misao!!

All ends well, with Dome concerts AGAIN for the guys this year!! It is good news for Arashi although as fans we do "suffer" a little... Ha ha

MJ walk ne... i wonder how is it! but i don't want to see it till i go! xD i am trying to don't spoil myself >_<

did u get a screened comment with my mail?

Hi TenjoStyle!! Oh I havent seen your screened comment yet... Let me go check now and reply you!!

Oh no! TenjoStyle dear, I didn't get your screened comment at all! Would you mind resending me again? Love to have your mail address!!

haha, that's so Nino! remember when he won an acting award and he said he's keeping the trophy but the money goes to the jimusho? XDDD

Arashi knows how much trouble this change of venue have caused to fans, I saw their apologies over at vox and LJ. choo touched at their sensitivity to things when it comes to fans. :)

But I guess it's all for everyone's benefit, bigger venue means more audience and they wouldn't have to tire themselves out with too much repeated perfs.

Hi! i wanted to comment about this yesterday but i couldn't xD

I always support Arashi, whatever they do/say, but this time i can't be more agree with Nino, johnny's office were adding extra cons quite times, so to fans that's really annoying, because they have to plan again what they're going to do.

I'm happy they can performance in Dome again, but johnny's office should place it since the beginning.

And about the 8th value, i always commented that with my friends, and i think even it's true that in senior ranking are in that place, Nino didn't refer just to that, like last year, while Arashi were doing their best, and fighting to be promoted even a little, KT were promoted more than Arashi, every programme in Utawara, were about KT a lot, Arashi appeared just in a cm if i'm right, while KT in plenty of them, but when a band is great doesn't need "that" promoting, so this year, Arashi already appeared in C1000 + C1000 new campaign + Tongari + Aiba's cm, also fans increased...also... as i have many KT fans, i know they're not really KT fans, they are jin or kame fans, while most of us, though at the beginning we could be jun/aiba/sho...-baited, when we really know Arashi we love them all desho?

Sorry for KT fans, but i'm just an Arashi fan :P

Hello Charurei! Agree that this is quite Kazu, to say something a little cynical/critical of JE.... Still, I am rather surprised he said this though..... I supposed he really felt bad for the fans!! Bigger venues are not really that great to fans... They are complaining they were HOPING to be closer to Arashi in the Yokohama Arena venu but now..... they will be so far..... Sigh...

Dear Matsubunny!!! Hello!!! Thanks for the long comment.... I knew when I put some special emphasis on what Kazu said, I may trigger a lot of under-current..... But I still wanted to show everyone what Kazu said.... I haven't watch Kazu saying this in person (just reading it) and no clips have shown this part I think on TV, so I cannot be 100% sure of HOW Kazu intended his comments to be. All I can guess is that he did feel that JE should have thought about the venue from the beginning instead of changing this so last minute asking for another round of ballots.

Again I have to say that there are advantages of being an "indie" group instead of a "choooh popular" group like KT. You may not have that many fans to COMPETE with, in terms of concert tix etc..... So Arashi's growing popularity may not sit well with a lot of "older" fans who have been following them since they debut.

But on the other hand, if we think for the sake of Arashi, they definitely WANT to be BIG. Aiba chan said that in 24 Hours, that they always say that they want to be the TOP. So for Arashi's sake, their dreams' sake, we definitely should support them no matter what. Hence, we still grudgingly/grumpily ballot for the tix... ha ha ha....

No matter, after this, JE should know from now how popular Arashi has become (although still not as popular as some of their seniors and juniors). Slowly but surely, Arashi is going SOMEWHERE! And we fans are BACKING THEM ALL THE WAY!

YEAH!


Jen dear!!Totally agree with u! And don't worry i'm totally recovered :P, thanks for concerning *hug*

Just saw that clip, and yes! Nino and Jun are commenting that, gonna rip it and put it on my Vox, so if u want and when u are free, watch it :)

p.s. Love so sweet so OUT of tune O.O xDD

Have a nice day~~

Kyaaaa Matsubunny!! The news clips actually showed Kazu and Jun commenting about this??? Oh my.... I've got to watch this!! Will go check out your blog later ne....

Oyasumi!
