1. Reply to this post with 'Icons!', and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

I love young, dorky Jun. And I love it when he hangs off his bandmates, especially Aiba, for obvious reasons. Plus I like Sunrise Nippon. It's a fun song and a cute PV. And there's a reason why one of my tags is 'they were so cute when they were little'.

This one is entirely for it's esthetic value. Aiba just looks so casually sexy, with that hint of wind catching his shirt and hair. I'll take one to go, please.

This is for my occasional silly posts. Mimura might just be my favorite role of Sho's, for all that he doesn't look like he belongs in high school. And I loved this scene with Mimura being all serious while he's being praised, then making this face as soon as the teacher's back is turned. While I doubt Sho was really like that in school (sorry Sho, but I can't picture you as anything but the teacher's pet), it's fun to imagine.

Confession time: Maou, and specifically truth, is what brought me into the Arashi fandom. I'd watched several dramas at that point, though Jun and Sho were the only Arashi members I'd paid attention to, despite knowing of the band's existence. I actually started watching Maou for Toma, because Ohno was still a non-entity to me at that point. I'm so happy that Ohno was cast in this role, though, both because it brought gay rainbowland into my life, and because he was absolutely amazing in it. What a hell of a drama to start with. As for this icon itself, it's pretty simple, I just really liked that photoshoot. I want to make some icons from the drama itself eventually, but I'm not quite ready to watch it again yet. Someday, though, because I promised I'd show it to my mom.

If I hadn't already loved Ohno before I watched Uta no Oniisan, I would have melted into an even bigger puddle of goo than I did. His acting skills never cease to amaze me, and he's a master of physical comedy as well. His whining and saying that he's not an idol and can't smile like one amuses me to no end. So this is for my occasional whiney posts, when I'm not trying to be really serious about it either.

This is apparently the tracklist for Arashi's choice songs for the LE, according to YesAsia.

33. ONLY LOVE
34. 夏の名前 (Natsu No Namae)
35. 素晴らしき世界  (Subarashiki Sekai)
36. Yes? No?
37. COOL & SOUL
38. Oh Yeah!
39. Be with you
40. Still...
41. Re(mark)able
42. 僕が僕のすべて (Boku ga Boku no Subete)

I have to say, I'm really happy to see Subarashiki Sekai, Yes? No?, Oh Yeah! and Be With You included, because they are some of my non-single favorites. Especially Yes? No?, because I seriously adore that song. This makes me all the more excited to get the album, though I still definitely want to see new stuff soon too. And I've been toying with the idea of getting the RE as well, though not necessarily pre-ordering it, because what if there's different stuff in the shorter booklet? Truly I've been infected by the rainbowland craziness for worrying about the booklets. XD
