From what I've seen subbed of GRA, I actually liked it quite a bit. It's definitely not as entertaining as Shukudai-kun or Mago Mago, but I liked learning about all these different aspects of Japanese culture. But it's definitely a series that would benefit from being subbed since it's really hard to understand or be interested otherwise.

The guest except Matsui san is annoying , but I like the show very much since I like the topics ~ learning about culture!
But if have choose between Mago Mago and GRA , MMA for sure!

not the best arashi tvshow I liked, but I still like it... ^^

despite the lack of arashi member's reaction (not as much as in mago2x or shukudai-kun moreover DnA), I like the information they gave about japanese culture...

and I never thought that both riida and Jun had a ranking in japanese calligraphy...! 0_o
poor Matsujun he got lower rank than Sho at the end of the show (eh...? I forgot which episode it was)

i decided to give this show a try and realized that i learned a lot about just a few facets of japanese culture thx to their study sessions.

kudos to GRA! although.. i had to constantly pause to go back and forth between my Jap-Eng dictionary and the show. haha.

i already watched a few episode of them...but i not really addict to it rather than MMA or HnA....hmm....maybe it is in studio..or i dont rally like the format...but because of Arashi....i still have to watched it.. [b][/b]

I watched the show. It was hard to understand everything, but there were some interesting topics they covered. It would've been nice to see it go on longer, but I guess it wasn't pulling in as many viewers? They ended with a bang though with the enkaigei subject. Ohno was chou kawaii when it was his turn lol.

I just watched the episodes that have been subbed so far and I also think that it's not really the most entertaining Show they have.
Most times the guest start to annoy me and I skip some of the VTR parts.
How many ep. does GRA have?

actually could anyone here tell me what GRA it's all about? this is one that i have never seen a episode before.. so i have no idea. looking forward to your replies!

hello, chocogal27!! so Golden Rush Arashi is pretty much a "study group" on unique aspects of Japanese culture... Arashi and a few regular guests invite over experts on Japanese culture

there aren't too many episodes, though. Kela, i believe there are only 23. but some topics they go over:

- learn about different parts of tuna for making sashimi & sushi
- Japan's pickled foods
- wagashi-- Japanese sweets
- shodo-- the art of brush calligraphy
- significance of rice/Chinese cabbage/miso/soba/etc (each food is featured in a different episode) in the Japanese diet
- Buddha icons
- convenient kitchen goods
- they even followed a day in the life of Miyazaki-ken's quirky Prefectural Governor

and... there you go i learned a surprising amount of information from watching GRA, and i hope you do too when you watch it (if you're not already immersed in Japanese culture lol)

hi waranai04!

thank you so much for taking the time to explain and give me for examples of what to expect from this show! arigatou! very much appreciated!!

it's because of arashi that i've become so obsessed with jap! hehe

I was kinda annoyed when they replaced something real (mago mago) for something.... not-so-real (GRA)?

I prefered watching arashi on location rather than in a closed studio shooing...

Arash with kids vs Arashi in studio.
