Arashi Message from Japan in Times Square, NYC

[joelibz]

was there a show going on at the time or something

[mercytune93]

Oh my gosh I'm so proud! I don't know about y'all but I think this is sort of like a debut for them and so to me I'm thinking. "Wah! Finally Arashi debuted in America!" So yeah but I'm so happy they are shown in Time Square! :) Thanks for the video!

[fritziping]

they'll probably have this until end of the year

Okay maybe that was a bit over the top to say, haha. But I adore Arashi and this video makes me really want to go visit Japan someday.

I waited from 11:40pm on Friday for about 45 to 50 minutes and didn't see it.

Thank you for wishing me luck. I had been there from 9:30 to 10:15 today, but could not see it...... I don't have luck.... >_<|||

[bobspelledbqwrds]

You don't know how happy this video made me. I'm soo excited that Arashi is getting soo famous/popular that they're playing videos in America! Ganba Arashi, reach the top. ^_^

[capy115]

Today I waited for 1 hour from 7:30 to 8:30PM, but it's not shown..... for other people who is planning to go, avoid 6:30 to 8:30PM - not likely to be aired. I will try other time tomorrow again as it's Friday - hoping better chance.. Ahh how difficult to see Arashi.... 

[FeelLikeSinging]

@capy115 I went there later like around 9:00 I think... GOOD LUCK!!! >___<!!!

[capy115]

Ahhh I should wait... I gave up today because of shower. hope no rain tomorrow. :)

[capy115]

Thanks for your reply. I waited from 6:30 to 7:00PM today in front of the CNN screen at 47th and Broadway, but the video was not played. I watched a set of cm videos 3 times and gave up..... weep! I will try again tomorrow... or later time may be better???

[FeelLikeSinging]

@capy115 :( so sad to hear that... what I did was buying a big mac, sit there and wait XDD nobody will kick you out of the stairs lol please let me know if you get to see it! good luck tomorrow!!

[shdows1]

do you think the ad will still be playing on Saturday?

[FeelLikeSinging]

@shdows1 Since this is a campaign to help with the slump in tourism in Japan I think the cm will be airing for a while. I don't know when the cm will be removed but I don't think anytime soon.

do you think the ad will still be playing on saturday?

IT must HAve been amazing to see in person! I'm in Tokyo right now and I see them everywhere, but one of my biggest dreams is to somehow see them like that back home in America!:')

[capy115]

Thanks for uploading this video. I use times squire for everyday commute and O looked for the screen today on the way to go home, but couldn't find it. Looks like it's around 47th, isn't it? Do you know how long it will be on the screen? Hope I can find it tomorrow. :-)

[FeelLikeSinging]

@capy115 if you see at the end of the video I showed the area around it. The easiest way to find it is going to the red stairs and then look to your left (use Bank of America as your reference, is on the same side) I'm not sure how long is going to be there I hope you can see it :) please let me know if you do! :D good luck!

[camia28]

I'm in NY, what time was that when you saw it?

[FeelLikeSinging]

@camia28 like around 9:30pm-10:00pm... but the video is on loop so if you missed it you'll be able to see it again :) I know this because I saw it twice and someone also confirmed me the video is on loop. Good luck! and enjoy it! :D

@shiawaseninari どういたしまして！

[ChrisDeegan]

II have a question. Is the background music in this video coming from the actual screen or has it been edited in? Somebody once told me that it is illegal to broadcast from these screens by using loudspeakers in the U.S.

[FeelLikeSinging]

@ChrisDeegan There was no sound coming from the screen so I added the background music that they actually use for this video :)

[adylucy]

so awesome to see them in there! you are so lucky! i want it here in my country :D

[FeelLikeSinging]

@adylucy :) yes, I was lucky! I'm leaving NY soon so I didn't want to miss the chance to see them there :)
