  Meiji University, a private university in Tokyo, is now offering a course on the famous Japanese boyband, Arashi. The class itself has been a social psychology course for the past 20 years but due to students' demand  for a class on sexuality, they decided to focus on a boyband. At first, they were thinking of going with SMAP but with the 15th anniversary of Arashi coming up, they decided to study them instead...
 Arashi is a Japanese boy group who debuted in 1999. It consists of 5 members under the famous management agency, Johnny Entertainment.
   Members:
     Jun Matsumoto (Gokusen,Kimi Wa PettoHana Yori Dango)
     Satoshi Ohno    (Kagi no Kakatta Heya SP,S hinigami-kun,Kagi no Kakatta Heya
     Sakurai Sho      (Honey and CloverSaigo no Yakusoku)
     Ninomiya Kazunari  (Ryusei no KizunaStand Up!!,Gantz)
      Aiba Masaki       (My Gir lLast Hope)
