[edit] Best friends?

Someone removed band members from the list of best friends with the comment "Not really necessary, it's obvious he'd be good friends with his bandmembers". I'd just like to point out that band members aren't always friends, music history is littered with bands who broke up because the members ended up hating each other (eg The Police, Tears for Fears, Hüsker Dü. I'm not saying that's true here (I know nothing about this subject, I'm here following up a vandal's contribs and got distracted as usual), I'm just saying band members aren't necessarily friends.

Anyone who knows Arashi knows they're all pretty good friends. I don't see the need in listing everyone from the band in his best friends. It's bad enough most of the article, and most of the content in all articles about Johnny's members and groups, is unsourced, we don't need to bloat the page with trivia.

oh well if they're known to be friends then there's no problem. Totnesmartin 16:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Many people do not know Arashi, so everyone certainly does not know them to be friends.It needs to be stated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.65.136.178 (talk) 12:21, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Matu.jpg

Image:Matu.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
