Ok...so we all know (or not) that the Japanese (actually, Asians) are extremely brand conscious. I've tried to check out Arashi's clothes but they and their stylist are pretty good about not advertising what they wear. Unless I just can't see the brands very well. Anyway, I'm sure they wear designer stuff but I can't tell. Until I watched AAA again and looked at the AAA photobook again. I only saw 2 brands that are very familiar to me.
La Mer -- Ohchan use this for his face I guess. There are 2 bottles right on his make-up table.
Goyard -- ok...what man would wear a Goyard bag? First time I've seen this bag on a guy and it was of course Jun who had it. There is of course, a Goyard men's collection but this is a white Saint Louis. And speaking of Goyard, isn't it interesting that as big as the US is, there are only 5 places where you can get it here but there are 4 stores in Japan that sells the brand. Ok, so maybe I'm the only one who found that interesting.
Gucci -- I just remembered seeing one of them (I can't remember who...Sho-kun?) wearing a hat.
Anyway, what other designer brands do they wear? I mean, not the ones you see them wear on fashion shoots but maybe on TV shows, concert footage and such. I'm really curious.
Oh, here's Nicole Richie with the same Goyard bag that Jun has/had.
Mmmm, 3/5 members (at least that I've seen) wear my favorite Japanese brand, VANQUISH the corner. It's total like...dansei/errr you know. Hot boy kinda clothes. Doesn't look like but kinda equal to like A&E popularity in the States.

Ahhh...thank you for the link! I love the accessories line. I'm not familiar with Japanese brands so I was always just looking for the usual popular brands here in the US.

Here's another; Sho wears hats by Yoshinori Kotake -- like on a Step and Go performance they did (Mste, I think) he was wearing this hat. I've seen him in another as well.
I save links for Arashi fashion so-- I'm really infatuated with it, I'll reply with more ^.^
