Arashi

Arashi (嵐?, literally Storm) is a popular Japanese idol group consisting of five members formed under the Japanese talent agency. The group was officially formed on September 15, 1999 in Honolulu, Hawaii and made their CD debut on November 3, 1999. The group was initially signed to Pony Canyon and released one studio album and six singles—beginning with their 1999 eponymous debut single before moving to the Johnny's subsidiary label J Storm in 2001, which was initially set up for their succeeding releases. While their debut single debuted atop the Oricon weekly chart selling a little over half a million copy, the group subsequently faced slowly declining sales.
