Arashi Fans Worldwide - Let's Be Heard!
Destini here. :)
This post serves as a guide to any visitors who may want to contact Arashi or one of Arashi shows. It also has links to projects, campaigns, and the like that I think are epic!
If you'd like me to post a link to your campaign, drop me a comment here and tell me about it! I love hearing about other Arashi fans supporting our boys!
Note: Realize that for a few of these methods, you need to have a general understanding of Japanese. Since the idea of so many overseas fans is a bit new to Japan, not all the sites are foreigner-friendly. (I.E. not having an Overseas option for Place of Residence).
Though - please take advantage of the options you do have where English is okay or where being out of the nation of Japan is okay. To make it easier, I've implemented the following legend:
ENG | This method is English-okay! (Mostly.)
JPN | Need to have a grasp of Japanese.
NI | Need to be living or stationed in Japan for a period of time.
INTL | Can be living anywhere in the world.

SNAIL MAIL ARASHI (ENG | INTL)
Want to write a fan letter to Arashi? Here is the address below!
ARASHI - ARASHI MEMBER'S NAME
Johnny's Family Club
Miyamasu Tower B1F
1-10-10 Shibuya
Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-8550
I.E.
ARASHI - SAKURAI SHO
Johnny's Family Club
Miyamasu Tower B1F
1-10-10 Shibuya
Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-8550
Tips
Use basic English. It's none of Arashi's first language. If possible, get your letter translated.
Don't overtly fangirl in the letter. "I LOVE YOU MARRY ME NAO," is probably inappropriate.
E-MAIL ARASHI RAJIO SHOWS (ENG | JPN | INTL)
Arashi's radio show all have e-mails that listeners can send messages and comments to. Why not give it a shot! You never know who's they might read on air~
OHNO SATOSHI | ARASHI DISCOVERY
arashi@fmyokohama.co.jp
MATSUMOTO JUN | JUNSTYLE
arashi@nack5.co.jp
AIBA MASAKI | AIBA REKOMEN
arashi@joqr.net
NINOMIYA KAZUNARI | BAYSTORM
nino@bayfm.co.jp
Tips
If you can type the messages in Japanese or get it translated, I'd implore you to.
Though, about 4/5 members of Arashi are learning or trying to learn to speak English well. So it may just be great practice. :)
ARASHI NO SHUKUDAI-KUN (JPN | NI)
Arashi no Shukudai-kun's submission form has specific radio buttons for you to click. Here are the translations for each button.
ゲストからの宿題 (Homework from the Guest)
Oishii Ryouri | Delicious Foods
This is the section of the show where the guest ask for delicious food! If you have something to submit here, then try it out.
You probably need to have a good idea of Japanese food and restaurants and all that jazz.
イメージ宿題 (Image Homework)
"Kinou no yoru, nani shiteta?" | What did you do last night?
If you have a "guest imeji' or an image of what you think the guest did last night, send it in!
番組からの宿題 (Homework from the Program)
Shiodome Aibaland | Send in fun games for the guest and Arashi to play together!
This is the current Program Homework. We've all seen Ai-land so if you have a fun game, send that in! It'd be great to see an overseas' fan's game on the show, na?
ARASHI NO SHUKUDAI-KUN BBS (JPN)
The official Arashi no Shukudai-kun website has a BBS board that anyone can post to. It's for posting your opinions about each week's episode.
Ozarashi was kind enough to translate the BBS page and form for fellow fans! Please visit her Vox here for the translation!
ARASHI NO SHUKUDAI-KUN AUDIENCE MEMBER (JPN | NI)
Since there was interest expressed in this, here is the forum link I was looking for that explains the process. From the sounds of it -
1. You have to send in your request to a Japanese address from Japan.
2. You have to ballot.
3. You have to be a FC member.
ARASHI AROUND AMERICA.NET (ENG)
This website looks to serve as a hub of North American representation of Arashi fans.

Comments
Arashi no Shukudai-kun
I don't know if this sounds too rambunctious, but what do you think about createing a website for our "Secret Agency"? I've had experience with owning domains and all that and am willing to pay for everything if necessary. Although, it's kind of a lame idea and I'm not sure if everyone else would agree. xP
LOL! You haven't been getting the e-mails? o_o|||
Ame-chan and Kori are working on building us a website. XD We'll have forums and stuff too~
I'll forward you the mail. :D
I haven't received anything of the sort! I feel so left out. Dx Still, if they need help, I'll be willing to do just about anything. I'm not a student at the moment, so I have tons of free time! One question, though. Since we were mentioned in Japanese newspapers and all that, and Arashi might try to look us up, is the website going to obey the JE no-pictures-on-the-internet policy?
I never received your address or anything for the thank you card, either!
I'm forwarding it now! I think she emailed it to the people who wrote their emails down but may have forgotten some. No worries! And yes, we're using their silhouettes if anything but not ACTUAL images...which means if we have a message board, I guess no icons of them either. I will probably make 100x100 sized icons of the badges - same info, smaller scale.
Oh yeah! I'll PM it now ^.^ HEY! Do you get on any instant messengers??? We should talk on there! lmao
(This is Jeana by the way; I FINALLY became un-lazy and got a VOX. omg!)
Anyways, about sending e-mails to Arashi. Heh-heh ... I've been doing that. I used to do it once a week ... but then my procrastination grew too fast and it was reduced to once a month. xDD
I think this a fabulous idea by the way. Gather our forces and surprise attack them with mass e-mails from around the world. :DDD
By the way, has the Arashi Secret Agency website been made yet? O_O;; Just curious cause I got the e-mail but I don't know if it's up yet, so yeah. I was also wondering about the domain, should we all chip in for it? I wouldn't mind giving up a few dollars for the website.
Ah, Arashi no Shukudai-kun. Hn, I believe you have to be in the FC...there's instructions for it online somewhere. I'll look for it and add it to this post for you! Check back soon :D
REALLY? Talk about diligent! LMAO, but yes that IS the plan! They wont know what hit 'em!
The site HAS been registered but isn't up yet. I'm not sure if she wants us to chip in - but I suppose we'll find out sooner or later. ^.^
It was actually translation of Shukudai kun BBS page...I have now re-translated and re-typed the page and posted it on my blog.
UWA YOU ARE AMAZING!
I'm linking to the page directly! I wont copy & paste 'cause if I do, no one will leave you wonderful comments of gradtitude! *_*
<33!!
Please forgive me if I am somehow being rude by not going by unwritten rules etc! if I am doing something weired or crazy that is not meant to be done in the fandom, please let me know! I would appreciate it.
Although I cannot promise to undertake every requests as such, or guarantee it would be speedy, I am willing and welcome any requests for translation help, please do not hesitate to ask me!
Bye for now...have a wonderful day!
