Arashi 嵐

After watching the series Hana Yori Dango on the net, I became familiar with the boy band Arashi 嵐. All Hana Yori Dango's theme song was sung by Arashi. The first song was entitled "Wish" from HYD 1, "Love so Sweet" from HYD 2 and "One Love" theme song of Hana Yori Dango Final The Movie. Out of the 3 songs I like Love so Sweet the most, in fact I have downloaded this song to make it as my phone's ringtone. I provided a bit info about this Japanese boy band, check it out.
