Quick Hello

I know, I haven't posted anything in a while. Not even after Arashi's awesome Himitsu no Arashi-chan special, nothing about the Earthquake, nothing about anything really. I've been busy... with life. And I just haven't had time to come up with posts. Any spare time I have goes to sleeping or doing homework. *sigh*

Just want to say that I finished watching the drama Mother and it was brilliant and oh-so heartbreaking but I loved every bit of it. I pretty much teared up and cried in every single episode. I don't know if this is a drama I would reccomend to "everyone" (it's like Yasashii Jikan in that sense) but it really is a brilliant drama. I really wish it had gotten more attention than it recieved.

I started SPEC as well but lately I've taken a hiatus from drama watching and have recently gone back into anime. So... I know people must be reading my posts (due to the fact that I have followers and an average of 10 page views a day - which I find so weird by the way) - anyone have good animes to reccomend?

New Years etc.

Hello. It's been a while hasn't it? I'm still amazed that I actually get page views despite the fact that I never update, and when I do it's nothing really important either. But whoever does decide to come look at my blog, thank you? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding how the whole "page view" thing works? ^^;; Oh well. I'm just happy seeing such a large number.

ANYWAY - way off topic.

So. New Years was a while back yeah? Two weeks ago? Yes I did watch Kouhaku and it was entertaining but truthfully I didn't watch all of it. In short, considering it was the first time and Kouhaku is a MAJOR show and they must have been HELLA nervous, I think they did a marvelous job and I'm very proud of them. If there were any flaws, I felt that there should have been more Matsushita Nao x Arashi discussion because sometimes it felt like she was left out - but I understand why that happened. Writing a script and giving each person an equal number of lines would obviously mean that she would get less lines, but still. Sometimes it was just awkward. But of course this isn't Arashi's fault, so oh well.

In the end my most favourite year end music show was MSSL2010. I nearly cried watching that. Have I mentioned that already? Well anyway, it's the show that reminded me of my time in Japan the most. And I really love that, the nostalgic feeling, the fact that I recognize all the songs and what not. Makes me sad too, but I love it anyway.

Next - Arashi promoting the 3Ds is terrible for me because I want it so bad. I mean the actual commercials wih Arashi are kind of lame (if I didn't know Arashi and i saw that on TV in Canada I'd be like 'wtf?') but the actual DS is SO COOL. And seeing Arashi with one just makes me think "WANT". Such fail. I"m not gonna get it though, not until it a) comes out in Canada and b) has been out for long enough that there are more games and it's more reliable.

Onto Movies - excited for Nino going to Hollywood again. That's my boy ;) Too bad i don't live in America, why does Japan always forget Canada? Sigh. We're such a forgotten country. I'd kill to go see the movie, dubbed or not, but maybe it'll come out in DVD here instead? Or something? Come on... please...? And then of course the latest news about Kaibutsu-kun! That is seriously awesome. I don't really care about 3D movies but Ohno just being in a movie. Kaibutsu-kun or not is awesome. I'm happy for him, hope he doesn't tire himself to much.

Onto Dramas. I kind of admit.. I don't think I'm going to watch Bartender. It just doesn't look like my kind of drama to watch. Love Arashi and all but ^^;; I'm still picky about my dramas okay? So instead I will watch Mother (which a lot of people have been talking about) and Keizoku 2: SPEC. Both apparently very underrated dramas? They seem interesting though, so I'm looking forward to watching them. I just finished watching Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo which was interesting to watch while doing homework (cause I didn't really need to pay attention). It was amusing and I admittingly did learn some interesting facts, all in all it's just amusing. Brainless humor. Not the best drama, not the worst. *shrug* You know.

eh.. what else? I guess that is it?

oh... I may or may not start translating random Arashi songs. I'm not sure if I'm gonna post them here. I started posting them up at my tumblr. The thing is my tumblr has morphed into some random blog that I just throw all my.... random "garbage thoughts" in. I like putting my song translations there though, but... hmm.. I dunno. Should I move them here too *contemplating*

all I've done is Arashi's Futari no Kinenbi and V6's Only Dreaming and a snippet of Snowflake though. ^^;; Maybe when I've done more?

Happy Birthday Ohno!

Happy Birthday Ohno!! I wish I could say more but it's snowing REALLY hard outside and i need to shovel the driveway before my dad gets home so he can actually drive into the garage.

but - Ohno, Happy Birthday.
30? 30? Seriously?
*shock*
You still look like a baby.
Haha.
I hope you never change.
Eat cake, go fishing, do whatever you want.
:)

My favourite old man.

Freeter Flail [MAJORLY LONG POST]

This is going to be a long, slightly emotional, and kind of random post that will go on very many different tangents but somehow all revolves around my love of Nino's drama, 「フリーター、家を買う」. So yeah. Honestly? This is mostly a personal post that only vaguely relates to Freeter to be honest. ^^;; But read away.

So, I just watched episode 4 of Freeter and... I cried. I don't cry for a lot of things. I rarely cry for anything. The last time I cried watching a drama was when I watched "One Litre of Tears" which was 2 years ago and I only cried one TISSUE. Not a box, not a package. One tissue, that's it. Nothing more. So i guess you can imagine how hard it is for me to cry and yet I cried watching Freeter. Episode 4. The minute Seiji said "Ore shika ha nai" and the tears just started flowing down my face and I couldn't stop them.

I really don't know what it was about this scene. Actually the entire episode I really felt like crying. Or I had the urge to. This entire drama is a roller coaster for me. My heart breaks in every episode as I watch Seiji struggle with his family's problems. This episode... watching Seiji break like that, I just couldn't help but start sobbing. I didn't even know WHY I was sobbing. I didn't feel sorry for him, I don't know, somehow.. I ... I empathsized with him even though I've never been in his situation before in my life. Maybe it's Nino's acting, I'm not sure but when I saw Seiji crying my entire heart just broke for him.

I love my mom. I really do. My mom is to me, like Seiji's mom was to him. She is my support. I'm not as FAIL as Seiji was, I mean I get straight A's and study hard and what not, but even then, I'm not the proud, confident, 'nerd' that most Straight A'ers are. And so I have my mom there to be my pole to lean on. She's there, every step of the way saying "you can do it, you're fine" she is the person that asks me "Are you okay? Can you handle it?". She is there to tell me when I can take a break, when it's okay for me to break down, when it's okay for me to take a step away and just... relax. And so seeing Seiji's mom like that, in such a depression. It breaks my heart. It really hurts me and as I watch Seiji struggle it hurts me more because i know, I KNOW, if that was me in that position, I would break. I would just crumble into pieces and fall apart. Especially if Seiji's dad was my dad.

Which brings me to another point. Seiji's dad. I hate him. I don't care what his excuse is, no matter what his problem is, or why he's being such a fucking ass hole, I don't CARE. I don't have a good relationship with my dad. Granted, my dad is actually a good dad, I just... don't get along with him. And my dad actually supports my mom. But seeing Seiji's dad makes my blood boil. Seeing him yell at Seiji, yell at Seiji's sister (who I can't remember the name off), seeing him yell at his WIFE who than has the KINDNESS TO PROTECT HIM just... OH MY GOD. That is half the reasno I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry from sheer ANGER at seeing this man on screen. I just wanted to reach in there and punch him, over and over, and over again until he realized what a RETARD and what a FAILURE of a HUMAN BEING he is. *rantsgrumbleswearkillssomeone*. Yeah. I don't have a good relationship with my dad, and my dad is nothing like this man but I just generally dont' like fathers and seeing a father like this just... ugh. I'm disugsted.

See? See how Freeter does this to me? How I can I NOT love a drama that envokes so much emotion in me? Normally I have as much emotion as a rock - ie - none. I have little empathy for anyone, and the emotional and understanding range of a teaspoon. You could say this is a mental problem but whatever. And yet, to have a drama like this drive me up the wall with anger, frustrating, annoyance, sadness, heartbreak, tears... T-T

and then to move on to just the whole theme the drama seems to be showing of SOCIAL PRESSURE IN JAPAN. Oh my god. I love this drama just for this reason. This is a brilliant theme to show because it's true. This is SO Japanese and Japanese people need to LEARN about how stiffling their social heirarchy is, not just on a business level but just on a regular "neighbourly" level. It's suffocating. It's terrible. You constantly have to be good to your neighbours, your relatives, the people around you, and if you're not your orstricized, rejected. This drama is no exaggeration and I honestly think that the fact that Japan has made a drama like this is just one LARGE step for the country and I'm so glad it's doing well and that people are SERIOUSLY watching this.

Freeter I think, is not only the best drama I've seen all year, but one of THE BEST dramas I've seen so far. And I know it's not done yet so I really shouldn't be saying this so fast (I mean, episode 4 - come on) but honestly... *wibbles*.

Why? T.T

aggh.. why does vox have to close? Albeit I wasn't as active on vox as I was on LJ but vox was the place to put my long fangirl schpiels and what not. *sigh*

This was honestly my fangirl blog. I may not have posted much (nor did I comment as much as I should have) but I still love this place regardless.

I will be moving to typepad though. Don't know how active I will but I guess more or less the same as vox. I don't want to lose all the posts I've made in this blog. They are all special to me... *sigh*

久しぶり～

So, aside from my review of Boku to Miteiru Fuukei... I haven't really done much on my vox since I left for Japan have I?... err.. ok - checking back I actually did post a lot more than I thought I did, but ANYWAYS.

and I feel bad. I was going through some old posts (mostly my majority of un-finished drama reviews ^^;;) and I felt like I should really start posting here again. All my fangirling stuff, my album/single/drama reviews and what not. I would love to review NatsuNiji but I think I'll do that when the drama ends because I have a love/hate relationship with that drama.

To sum it up - I was in Japan for a year on an exchange program and came back.. recently. About two weeks ago and have thus been.. kind of out of things. But my time in Japan was great. I didn't experience any Arashi concerts but being able to watch their TV shows on TV, live, every week is good enough. Being able to see them on M-Sta, Utaban and Heyx3 live without needing to wait for uploaders is awesome. I made lots of friends, ate lots of food and had lots of fun. It's an experience I will never forget (it was one year of my fricken life for god sakes) and I wish I didn't need to come home.

but I came back. And i promise I will be more active on my vox from now (or as active as I was before I left.. which was pretty active in my opinion.). I still update my LJ as much as possible, not garunteed daily anymore but as often as possible. And so all my fangirly things will likely appear on my vox. Which means I need to get my scanner going cause I need to scan in some fanart and show you the depressingly small amount of drawing I did in Japan (because I had no time whatsoever).

and I really need to fix my banner xD Nino isn't 26 years old anymore is he?

Anyways, as I said.. try to keep my fangirling here. I got rid of my Arashi-schedule and probably won't put it back up but I'm sure everyone in my neighbourhood will start seeing more of my posts.. every.. couple of weeks, at least once a month :)

久しぶり (_ _)

oh my gosh it's been so long since my last post >_<
waah..
things just suddenly built up.
I'm in Tokyo right now.
yes.
Tokyo

but I can't go to the countdown. No tickets.

I went to the dome and bought a beautiful, beautiful Arashi uchiwa though. ^_^ I would watch Kouhaku but the family I'm staying with (my aunt) is watching something else (some "unbelievable" SP - someone please tell me what it is?) so I can't. They sort of flip to it on and off. I'm not about to ask to watch because I'm the only one interested and it's kind of selfish after already intruding in unexpectedly into their home. I don't really know my aunts family despite them being my cousins and so on. They are quite distant relatives being all the way in Japan when I live in Canada.

I will watch the Johnny's Countdown though :) Or again, I'll try.

But I find that if young Japanese people know Johnny's and aren't fans they generally don't really like Johnny's. Or maybe it's just the people I am around. I don't mind, just a simple observation.

anyways. It's probably rude of me to use my laptop when the rest of the people are still eating so.. should go. 

Quick Celebration

Okay first - Mao on Shukudai was highly amusing and LOL at the ice-cream =P Oh Aiba, never change please? Surprisingly Riida was very stiff that day o_o Less stiff than Sho?!

now to my actual point. This was only mock but I got 81% on level 4 of the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test). *dances*

I could've gotten higher, there were some stupid mistakes I made (we got our tests back so I could check) but I'm still happy. I've only been in Japan a month and the first time I took the test (a month ago) I got 60% - barely passed.

1/2 a concert experience

I'm in Fukuoka right now and as you all may know - Arashi just had their concert in Fukuoka. I couldn't get tickets but I went with my friend to Fukuoka Dome anyways and ahh...

Even though we didn't see the concert I still felt so excited and so happy just to stand outside. I did buy stuff - two uchiwas (Jun and Nino) and a big poster of all the members. The posters are actually really big and...

I felt sad when we had to leave though. When me and my friend walked towards the dome we were almost running but as we walked away we were basically dragging our feet cause neither of us wanted to leave. We stayed for about 3 hours though - we got there are 3 and waited until 6 (when the concert started) before we decided to go.

It was sad but in a way we had our own fun. Just standing outside, lining up for goods and seeing a ton of fangirls can be a great experience just by itself. I hope next year I can actually see the boys though.

INOUE MAO X ARASHI

Okay. First, Mao goes on Himitsu no Arashi chan.

and now?

Mao goes on Arashi no Shukudai-kun.

For me this is like a crazy dream come true. I am so excited. I would love to watch.. except.. for the fact that my curfew is at 11:30pm and thus I can't leave my room and watch TV. *sobs*

but I am so excited, oh god, oh god, oh god. The world is wonderful. I will definitely watch Mao on Himitsu. ^_^

Japan is awesome - Orange Jelly in a can? Genious. I will be buying Arashi's Time + One Album and their Iza Now! Con DVD soon. Hearing Arashi blasting in HMV is the best!

and that is my quick update for the week (I think?) bye bye

quick update

first thing first.

HOLY SHIT MAO ON HnS OMFG AWESOME.

what else?

Arash's Best album going past 1mil? even more awesome.

Japan's... being good and bad to me so I don't have much time to update. *sobs*

hopefully I can say more later. *waves*

Checking In

hi hi.

Since I'm traveling Japan with my family at the moment (I don't have to go to Fukuoka for school until Aug30) and my hotel has free internet I decided to do a quick post so no one thinks I died or anything =P

Japan is pretty awesome. Since Arashi is doing concert rehearsals (or something like that) right now I didn't really see much of their stuff on the street. I saw some AU ads though (there is one outside my hotel). I'm not in Tokyo by the way, I'm in Sapporo. ^_^ It's really cool.

I got to see Himitsu no Arashi-chan on TV on Thursday. Totally awesome xD *cheers* I also managed to buy the 5x10 album - Regular Edition only sadly, but hey! I was so excited hearing Arashi being blasted through speakers out onto the streets I swear I went braindead for a second and just spazzed.

So I'm having fun. I see Arashi every so often on the TV because of CM's.

I have to go eat now - but I'll try and do a post next week before school starts hopefully!

Off to Japan

Tomorrow at 12 noon I will be boarding a plane to Tokyo. For on year (11 months to be exact) I will be studying in Fukuoka, Japan. (NOT TOKYO).

I will not have a steady internet connection so I will probably only be able to go on, at least, once a week. Hopefully more but I am not sure. This means, obviously, that posting and commenting on vox will be less and less. I will try and update a bit about my trip just to show people that I am alive.

I will NOT be staying in Tokyo and I only have a limited budget (I am an exchange student) so please don't ask to buy anything. When I become fluent in Japanese I might start translating magazine articles or short segments of Arashi's TV shows but if you want that to happen you're going to have to wait a while (probably until Summer 2010 ^^;;). \\

I hope I have fun and hopefully when I come back I will be able to contribute more to the Arashi fandom =D

Random Update

I just watched Letters from Iwo Jima (I know, I'm slow ^^'') and I liked it. 

The ending made me feel sad... 

Nino did a great job acting. *nods* He totally seemed like a Hollywood actor. (am I being biased here..? o_o;;)

I wish I could write a review but I don't have much time these days!

Current Arashi songs I'm addicted to - ROMANCE (One Album) and Everything. I really wish they would release the ONE concert onto a DVD xD 

I'm really looking forward to July 19th because Nino will be on Shounen Club Premium *cheers*

Just as a warning, my posts will become less and less. During mid-August I will be going to Japan for ONE YEAR and I won't have a constant internet connection so I am sorry if I do not update. I will try (because computers are my DRUG) but this is just a warning before hand. ^^''

Fandom Frustrations...

If you're part of LJ and you found out about the "Subbers Meme" and read all the stuff about STORMY or SBK you can guess what I will be talking about. If not, it's fine. I just need to let off some steam. Mind you this isn't complaints against the subbers and I'm not trying to offend anyone, I really just need to let off some steam about this entire situation. It's stupid in my opinion. (-_-;;)

I guess.. I don't really get why people are complaining. I mean a lot of people are saying STORMY is being "elite" by not letting people in or having to answer "essays" but.. I don't know. When I saw there new rules come out I was a bit annoyed but then sort of shrugged and was like "whatever, guess I'll do it" and I really didn't see the problem. It only took about.. a minute of my time. Literally. Yes even answering the "essay" didn't take more than 30 seconds. Why should't it? I wrote a paragraph. Wait.. where is this essay we're getting at? Maybe if you're new, than yes that might be a hard question to answer and it could be frustrating but hey if you want some help Here you go!! =D

So yes, for the application for STORMY.. I don't see what "essay" you have to write. "What makes Arashi Arashi" use as many words as you want. You can write a fricken SENTENCE. No. Seriously. Where does it say write an ESSAY? o_o I wrote a paragraph. 5 sentences. Not that hard, took about 30 seconds and bam, done, comment over. If you got rejected than yeah.. that sucks.. no offense. Get over it? I know this might not help coming from someone who did get in (shoot me =D) but.. if I didn't get in, I doubt I'd be moping, and complaining about it. Sure, maybe a one liner in my LJ update "STORMY rejected me.. T.T *sobs*" and okay, that's done and over with. Oh dear, I have no access to subbed videos now... hmm... wait! I forgot, there are like.. 14 other Arashi subbing teams out there =O *GASP* Okay, they are the only group subbing "Smile" but considering they are 4 episodes behind... I don't really think I'm missing out... No. Really. Oh. Also. I can't understand Japanese and I hate watching RAW. I'm not crying that much about missing subtitles. I just figure, no subs, no watch.

Fine, you can get mad, and freedom of speech of course but you know. It's been a while. That subbers meme was supposed to let everyone rant and rave and be pissed and than after everyone can just shut the hell up. Obviously that did not happen and people are still seen complaining and blah and blah and it's just like "My god people, get over with it..."

By the way, I did pull into account that I might be feeling this way because hey, I actually got in (first try in both SBK and STORMY and damn it was easy..) but then I thought about it some more and I really. I don't think I'd care so much. I'm very... apathetic about many things. As a fangirl... as a person in the JE fandom I find I never get caught up in all the drama that occurs inside of it. Or.. I never feel as strongly for anything as every else does. Oh, I also realized that the reason I've only been seeing complaints is that.. what the hell is the point of complaining if you get in right?

Oh and yes. I have no life. So that is indeed why I posted this. Because I have no life. *sobs for myself*
I am always aware that I may seem immature, well... I am at that age where my immaturity level supposedly resembles that of a "stupid 14-year-old"... *hinthint*  =D

Anyways, I think that is enough "letting of steam" for one day. As always, feel free to agree, disagree, insult, bash, mentally scar...

and I know I haven't posted in a while, so sorry the first thing had to be a rant (>_<;;)

Arashi Art Project

I've decided, starting New Years, that I will begin my own personal art project to improve my skills for drawing people. I'll be using the members of Arashi as my models. I'm going to aim to finish all my drawings by the end of April/beginning of May. I will be doing 7 pieces (two versions of each) although one of the drawings is not an Arashi member, but you will understand (^_^)

All finishing dates are not set in stone meaning I may finish before or after but one thing for sure is, I will definitely start each picture on the assigned start date.

In order I will start with

Aiba Masaki
start: Dec.30/Jan.4 (I started twice - the 1st one sucked xD)
finish: Jan.10
colouring:

Sakurai Sho
start: Jan.8/Jan.13 (again started twice.. -_-;;)
finish: Jan.15
colouring Jan.16 - Jan.24

Ninomiya Kazunari
start: Jan.16
finish: Jan.27
colouring:

Matsumoto Jun
start: Jan.27
finish: Jan.31
colouring: Feb.22 - ???

Inoue Mao
start: Feb.22
finish: Mar.7
colouring:
(I have to practice drawing girls to xD

Mao and Jun
start:
finish:
colouring:
(Because I really miss seeing them together T_T)

All 5 members
start:
finish:
colouring:  

The All Members drawing has two weeks to finish because it is my final drawing, the piece I really want to try my best on. It's sort of like the final project at the end of the term, everything I did before hand was so that I could do this last picture as best as possible.

Also, yes, I will be drawing one picture and colouring one picture simultaneously =D

And finally, unless mentioned otherwise in this post, all drawings will be done in pencil, black and white and then digitally coloured in photoshop. I will post up both the original pencil and coloured pictures. The reason I am not doing Ohno is because I have already done two pictures of him (give me a break xD) but I might doodle him if I feel like it.

FINAL DEADLINE - END OF MAY

with me good luck =D
(and make sure I don't kill myself -_-;;)

 

The Fandom Chronicles #2 - Life Influence

Eh.. back again with "The Fangirl Chronicles"... my topic today? How Arashi influences my life. Why am I thinking about this... well... my friend wanted to watch a movie with me. He gave me two choices, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Gran Torino". You know which one I picked? The latter, do you know why? Because it had Clint Eastwood in it. Do you know the significance of this man to me? Well, if you're an Arashi fan, I think you can guess why xD

Yes. Clint Eastwood. He knows Nino. When the movie started, and I first saw him, I was like "This guy knows Ninomiya Kazunari.... o_o".

It sort of makes me wonder just how much these guys have started to influence my life. I've never gotten into a fandom so ... hard before. Like. When I listen to music, I've never actually once thought about buying an album. (^^;;) But with Arashi... I don't mind as much. It's like "Oooh... the actual single... *drool*" which is basically what happened to me in Hong Kong. I had a limited budget so I could only select a few Arashi things but it didn't stop me from just going "O_O".

Also. Arashi.. they made me start watching dramas. I will say this once, twice, a million times.. I don't really like watching dramas. But... if an Arashi member is in it.. sure, why not, I'll give it a try. I get giddy over the most... retarded things. I think about such random thoughts. I asked my mom if we could microwave a watermelon after watching Arashi do it in "Arashi no Shukudai-kun" and my mom lectured me about how I shouldn't trust TV or crazy Japanese boy bands. (^^;;) My defense was "But mom, I've seen them spit food out when it tastes bad, trust me, I know when the food is good and bad"... she gave me a look like I was an idiot. xD Yeah. I'm weird like that. But hey, Watermelons are my favourite fruit, I really wanted to try. ....

See, there you go. Normally I'm a rational person... keyword - normally. *sigh*

Yeah. Arashi is starting to rule my life completely. xD

I don't mind though - away from fangirling - Gran Torino is a good movie. I really enjoyed it. In fact, it's a wonderful movie and I order people to go watch it now. >_> *glares* It had a good mixture of seriousness, and I mean a good mixture. Clint Eastwood is an awesome director/actor. I can't believe this movie didn't get nominated for an Oscar. Jesus christ.. Batman only got 1. What's with the Oscars? Just cause Brad Pitt is in a stupid movie doesn't mean it's fricken "good" (you can tell I just love Brad Pitt huh?). Blah. My slice of pie about a movie - I might do a full on review about it later... here.

Happy New Years

Ｈａｐｐｙ　Ｎｅｗ Ｙｅａｒｓ！
あけましておめでとうございます！
ｍ(＿＿)ｍ

It's been a wonderful 2009 and I'm so glad I found out about Arashi (^_^)
They really made this year a lot more enjoyable!
I really can't wait for more Arashi stuff next year
and...
When I got to Japan for school~!

皆さんホントにありがとうございました！
これからもがんばって！

Jun in my nightmares...?

I had a dream last night.. which I actually sort of remember. It's been quite a while since I woke up (about 5:30pm right now) so.. of course I don't really remember much but it was a scary enough dream to keep me awake for about another half hour.

Yes, it was a nightmare. (if you didn't assume from the title).

Now, I'm not sure if the main person in my dream was Jun but something in my head tells me it was and I remember the first thought in my head after waking up was "I am never watching Jun if he is in a horror movie...". In fact I've basically convinced myself that it WAS Jun in my nightmare but if it was.. that's not a good thing. Jun is.. well he's my ichiban in Arashi, so I cannot for the life of me understand WHY he was the scariest person I've ever met in a nightmare.

I don't remember much but here is the gist of the dream from what I can remember.

Basically.. Jun is walking around and he pretends to "save" people who are in trouble from falling off cliffs with rope, but that's what it SEEMS like he's doing. In actuality, what he does is he grabs those people's legs and snaps them apart with rope, and then.. those people die, but then they suddenly appear as zombies and do the same thing Jun is doing. For some reason Jun is NOT a zombie but he does this for some unknown reason that I am not sure off.

And just to let you know.. my dream was INCREDIBLY gory, like.. think of Saw I/II/III/IV - Yeah, that gory. Honestly I was terrified the entire dream. Like I could literally feel my heart beating like crazy even though I was only watching the dream from third person and wasn't actually in it myself. Honestly the dream might make a good movie or something but... seriously why was JUN the bad guy? And when I woke up, I was actually trembling. 

I can sort of remember the image of him. He has his 2004, Iza Now! concert hair with his blue suit from earlier episodes of D no Arashi and basically he's looking all rich, bad-ass and evil. But again I'm not entirely sure if it was Jun.

I'm sort of sad.. I've been wishing for an Arashi dream and the first one I get with Jun is one that scares me to no end and has Jun seem like a physchotic killer.

I wonder.. is there something wrong with me.. like.. mentally? o_o 

Back from HK

Mah.... well I'm back from Hong Kong.

It was quite fun spending a month their I must say (although I was a bit stressed from being slightly Arashi deprived). I have come back with many videos to download and watch. Maou being a major one, there are 4 subbed episodes released (soon to be 5) and I can't wait to start watching =D

Then of course I am feeling excited for Jun's upcoming birthday and the 24HR TV program on NTV that will be on the 30th/31st of August. (as well as Jun's birthday)

I'm very excited to watch Jun's new drama SP (Myu no Anyo Papa ni Ageru yo) and am SOOO happy to learn that Nino is going to be doing a new drama to... with Nishikido Ryo!! (who I do like quite a bit ^_^) called "Ryuusei no Kizuna" for those who had not heard the news yet.

I did lots of shopping while in Hong Kong, one of my main things to get were... go figure... ARASHI STUFF!! And I succeeded in mostly getting what I wanted. I bought the Time Concert, AAA+In Dome Concert, Dream "A" Live limited edition and I was looking for the Time Limited Edition but I only found the regular. *sigh*. Ah well, I can't be picky and I should be lucky to find SOMETHING. By the way, the packaging for the AAA+in Dome Concert is INCREDIBALLY nice in my opinion. ^_^ I'm very happy. Was thinking about buying HanaDan to but I went against it. I'm an incredibally stingy person... haha... sadly.
