ARASHI – A･RA･SHI [Official Music Video]

Arashi’s debut single “A・RA・SHI,” released in 1999, was used as the image song for the 1999 Volleyball World Cup and as the theme song for the drama “V no Arashi,” starring the members of Arashi.

Even if you’re not a fan, the upbeat melody makes your body move naturally when it plays—it’s that catchy.

The arm-rotating move in the latter half of the chorus is easy for anyone to copy, so be sure to do it together with everyone at karaoke! And if you’re someone who wants to dance even more, try grooving through the other parts too so you won’t lose to Arashi’s energy.
