I loved watching this! I really enjoyed watching them fooling around on their private jet as well as the other behind the scenes moments. The Taipei concert was awesome too. But they looked really tired though. I hope they can get more rest.

Arashi's first concert in Taiwan is the origin of my love towards Arashi. smile

Among the songs they performed, I like JAM (Yokohama Arena) the most. The song itself is already catchy.. Coupled with great dance choreography and nice costumes --> lots of fangirling, glomp*ing, nosebleeding, and finally dead... AAA DVD is the best!!

I agree, the Taipei concert is so great! So great except the sad thing is I was in Taipei studying abroad that semester but at that time did not know who Arashi was. If I had known... I could totally have gone. Sad, right?

I bought the HK version of the AAA limited edition DVD (so I can read the Chinese subs). Matsujun's Chinese was actually pretty good! Definitely the best out of the bunch.

And lol, yes they did seem to eat a lot. I love Taipei's xiao long bao too!

ah... I have to really thank this DVD for bringing me into the wonderful world of Arashi. The whole DVD is really good because we get to see a lot of backstage thing...all Arashi dorkiness from Nino's "private jetto" to ... to many others...*lost for words*.

And thank my bestfriend for promoting them big grin

My Favourite performance from them... Has gotta be La Tormenta at Dome! It was crazy!!! Everyone was so kakkoi and, especially the opening when Sho and Jun came out in red siding... *brain explode*
And I love how the joke about Matsujun's temper in the mornig and Aiba's excitement about karaage in the morning. I watched it like 3, 4 times and they still gets me laughing hard. clapping

But they really should learn new dance moves. It's starting to annoy me when most 'dances' are far from dancing, just waving hands or something.

I totally agree. Iza concert probably is the one with the better choreography and stage design. After doing SO many concerts, its like there's not a breakthrough in the choreography except for the pretty basics.

I feel that they should bring their dance moves and skills to another level. For AAA, Dome is my preferred ones in terms of everything.
My favourites are Cool & Soul for Taipei Con, Dome La Tormenta & I want Somebody , & Yokohama's JAM. Yokohama ARASHIC seems to be wonderful in terms of costume, stage and everything! Aiba's solo with Sho rap.

Taipei concert was simpler,but the way they sing was really filled with thankfulness. And I agree they seem to be pretty restricted because of space. But I was seriously expecting more for Taipei con since its their 1st concert there.

I agree, theTaipei con was simple but sweet. When they sang Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi in Mandarin I literally fell out of my chair. I was so in love with them and I thought that it was amazing that they managed to learn lyrics in Chinese.

Other than that performance I love all the ones you mentioned. I loved the stage for Cool & Soul in Taiwan. And I wished they would've released the ARASHIC concert on DVD so I could've seen the full version of JAM and the duet for Itsuka no Summer.

i like watching the behind-the-scenes features so i really like the arashi around asia dvd.

i also loved the arashi around asia + in dome dvd. and the photo booklet is such a great bonus!

watching concert dvds makes me want to go to an arashi concert (i've never been to one). no matter how amazing i think the dvds are, i suppose nothing beats the real thing...

although its sooo expensive and so hard for non-japanese to get tickets.. =(

First off, thank you STORMY team sub for providing subbed version of the AA DVD.

My favorite part of the DVD is Sho and the rest of them obsessing over the terriyaki when they arrived in Taipei Arena. They really must love terriyaki - Sho even took photos of the buffet!

I liked all the photos the members took of each other. Like when MatsuJun took photos in the dark while backstage at Melon AX. Conversely, I thought it was funny when they had the photoshoot at the nice apartment and the photographer kept telling the guys to look hot. They all have that deer in headlights look as if they have no idea what to do.

Then there's the clip of Nino filming Aiba-chan and Riida smoking. I feel bad for Ohno who had a delayed response at Nino's question as if he was dumbfounded at being filmed while smoking.

The Korea & Taiwan performances were nice, but I would've liked full-length songs more than abbreviated versions.
