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

5x10 <3

I love this song..

and the lyrics make it even better.

I am buying the entire album when I get to Tokyo

Oh. Chinen and Yamada on VS Arashi *cheers*

Wow... *shock*

omedetou minna!

and I'm trying to d/l Nino on SCP but mediafire hates me.. *sigh*

BUT!!

Good thing? Arashianforums is going to open up next week! It closed right after I found out about the place so I didn't have much of a chance to go there but I remember I liked the place a lot. Can't wait for it to re-open! 

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. ^^''

Arashi FC, me, Join?

I'm going to Japan to study this coming school year (September - July) and I told my mom about the concerts and than suddenly I started explaining to her how if I joined the Fanclub I could buy tickets for cheaper and than .. I think.. my mom just allowed me to join the fanclub.

And I just realized, even after I join the fanclub I can stay because I actually have relatives who live in TOKYO. I totally forgot because we don't see them much but my mom says we can ask my cousin to join the FC for me and get him to ballot for tickets for me. (Not for this concert obviously because.. it's a bit late, but maybe for countdown? =D) and OH MY GOD YOU KNOW HOW AWESOME THIS IS? Why did I not think of this earlier.

I love my mom, she might not understand why I like my Japanese band (cause she thinks their music sucks, dancing sucks, appearance sucks etc etc.) but she is so supportive. *laughs*

Well.. it's not official, me joining the FC is still under discussion and I'm not really sure of the process but.. you know.. if I get in feel free to ask for me to ballot tickets for any of my neighbours/friends. I know I'm not very active and vox and I rarely comment or talk to any of you and I barely know any of you as it is but.. you know, we're all fans (whom I'm sure would die to go see a concert or something) so I'd like to help out. Again, me being in FC is not definite but if I do get in WOOPIE FOR ME =D
