I flipped out so hardcore!!!
I mean.....................how do I explain this?
I know I'm only me! I don't claim to be a super powerhouse with marketing prowess and skills.
However, I am a fan!
And.....I want Arashi to gain Intl recognition.
So this really made me just go, "Ok! We can't stop now! We gotta keep showing that they do have a fanbase even farther than Asia!"
So this was the jump-start I needed! I'm hoping to be able to do more in helping us all get recognized.
Firstly though, I'm mailing the radio shows tonight and mentioning their being in an American magazine. Even if they don't read it on air, they may read it off air and so...I'll do it. Ganbarimasu~
EDIT: Here's the link to the post on LiveJournal with the scan: http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/936925.html#cutid1
EDIT 2: I just realized the the OP of the scan on LJ locked the post so I will post the text in the article here with full credits to Billboard Magazine.
You're not missing a picture -- it's not even Arashi, it's Touma-chan. XD I'm not sure why they used his image but some speculate it's because he isn't a debuted Johnny.
No matter, here's the blurb on Arashi.
