One thing that I've always loved about the various variety shows that J-storm group ARASHI have are their catchy and hilarious opening credits that accompany them!
A long-standing tradition among these beginnings is normally soft-spoken leader Satoshi Ohno stepping up and playfully striking various "Tough Guy" poses and attitudes! In two "D NO Arashi" openings, he is portrayed tricking the other members into spelling out "Leader Saiko!" In another, he is carried by his co-workers on their shoulders, "emperor" style! In one, the members are carried like mannequins onto the set, followed by a very real Ohno slipping on some cool shades before the group animates!
But out of all of these, my very favorite one has to be the "Fight Song" opening credits of "G No Arashi"!

It starts out innocently enough...
Sakurai Sho is happily polishing his trophies..
Masaki Aiba is twirling a Soccer Ball...
Kazunari Ninomiya is catching up on some reading...
...and Matsumoto Jun yawns, waiting for something to happen.
Then suddenly,Ohno shows up, and WANTS THEM ON THEIR FEET!
He perks up Nino first...
approaches Sho...
persuades Jun...
and convinces Aiba...
Then gets the boys in line to form their FIGHT pose as the line GANBATTE echoes!!!
It doesn't hurt that the theme Fight Song is a terrific tune, either!
