Arashi discography
Wikimedia band discography
The discography of Arashi, a Japanese boy band, consists of 17 studio albums, six compilation albums, one extended play, 58 singles, four promotional singles, 25 concert videos and two video albums. Arashi has also released 82 music videos, including "All or Nothing", "Lucky Man", "Mada Minu Sekai e", "P・A・R・A・D・O・X", "Kokoro no Sora", "Don't You Get It", "Mikan", and "5x20".
The group's first release was the eponymous single "Arashi", which was the image song for the 8th World Cup of Volleyball hosted by Japan in 1999. Selling close to a million copies by the end of its chart run, it was the group's highest-selling single until the release of "Kite" in 2020.
Nearly a year and a half after their debut, Arashi released their first studio album Arashi No.1 Ichigou: Arashi wa Arashi o Yobu!. Like "Arashi", it also peaked at number one on the Oricon charts. Until the release of their tenth anniversary compilation album All the Best! 1999–2009, Arashi No.1 Ichigou: Arashi wa Arashi o Yobu! remained the group's best-selling album with overall sales of 323,030 for nearly ten years. They also became the fifth artist in history to dominate the top two placings on the annual Oricon singles chart with "Truth/Kaze no Mukō e" at first and "One Love" in 2008.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia band discography” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2760837. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1999, 2020, 2009 and 2008.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
