ARGHH.. *slaps forehead* its so hard to get over the fact that Aiba WAS IN SINGAPORE!!!! He was SO NEAR & yet SO FAR!!!!! >___< Why?!?! Why are you doin this so me?!?! Alright, it's really not his fault.. but anyho, AIBA WAS IN SINGAPORE FOR TENSAI!!!! Yesh, he was at our zooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! ( I'm trying to contain my excitement despite the dissappointment! i'm an oxy-moron! LOL )Gem-chan and I even contemplated stalking the zoo & night safari if we heard about the news earlier! However, it seems like there has been not much details regarding his visit here. Ok, maybe "stalking" isn't the right word, but i'd really love to meet or just to take a glimpse of Aiba!!! I've read that he's really good looking in person! >___< The thought that he might never be this close anymore breaks ma heart..... *boohoo*

I'm wondering if there'r any sitings of our dear baka-aiba! hurhur ^^ I hope he had a great impression of Singapore and he'd bring the rest of Arashi here another time! GAWD! I still wish i'd seen him.. T__T

Here's a pic of sneaky aiba who came and left so quietly and puppies! Doesn't he look so adorable with animals? *slaps myself again for missing tensai-aiba in Singapore*

I'm only at the 5th episode of One Litre of Tears & Ive already used countless tissues!! T___T  Ok, I know I'm lagging behind and I should've watched this show months ago.. but oh well.. I got inspired by Nino's tear jerker cancer show! *sniff*  As twisted as it sounds, I kinda enjoy crying my eyes out along with these emo shows! *sniffs even more* One plus point for 1 Litre of Tears would be Ryo! I totally love the looks of a brooding young man who hides his true emotions, and every now and then u see how how he softens up and smile with his eyes.. OMG. *faints* hurhur gotta say that my darling Jun can pull this stunt off the best!! Esp in HYD! LOL  

Here's darling Jun with Ryo>


Well, since I'm at the topic of brooding young man... HAS ANYONE WATCHED KUROSAGI!?!?!!?! Geez, if you have not, it's a real pity!! Yamapi is brilliant in the show!! He looks so much better more beefed up! And boy has he master the art of cam-whoring! *takes my hat off pi* Especially the way he while lying topless stares into the camera after the introduction.... WOAH. I could feel my heart skipped a beat right there and then! It's refreshing to watch him take on an entirely different persona in Kurosagi, after watching baka-pi in Nobuta! LOL  ^^ Aiight, aiight, there shall be no spoilers from me for Kurosagi. I shall take off with a Pi-spam! *slips into pi fangirl mode* 

I am really falling in love with this Pi!!!! He kinda holds an uncanny resemblance to my first bf ne! .. O__o
****P/S : I'm still VERY LOYAL to my dear dear JUN & ARASHI! LOL ^___^

YOKATTA ne!! This is definitely gonna be the craziest thing I'll do by far (in my life) -- I shall to save up enough for Arashi's summer con this year!! *FIGHTTOOOO UMPH!*  (>__<)  I'd really love to see Arashi live in action! Or should I say... IN FLESH!?  LOL  Hopefully hikaru_sakurai is able to help gemplee and I get tickets to the con!! ^^

All the talk about the con with'em is really increasing my anticipation! ^^ Of cos, first things first, I hope I could get the tics! Otherwise no tics = no plans! @_@ ne? This is so exciting! IF we do get the tics, it'll be Hikaru-chan's and my first trip to Japan! What's more, we'll be goin with peeps we gotta know thru the Arashi forums and we're all gonna fangirl at an ARASHI CON!! Nothing can beat that! ^^  Plus I'll have Gem-chan's company from Singapore so it's all good! It's just sweet to know that Arashi has fans all over the world! ^^V Duncha think so!? We can all wave our respective arashi uchiwas and soul-soul along with the boys!! Ureshii ne!!  

Here's a lil pixxies spam of my dear JUN.....doesn't he look great in grayscale? LOL

 

Alrighty, so much for my Arashi update and JUN-ing! hehe REALLY HOPE THERE'll BE TICS for the con! Now it's time for me to catch up on the D no Arashis and my personal HYD-rerun! LOL & that reminds me..  I hafta sort out all the pics in my Arashi folder! LOL there are so many that I'm this close to feeling like a stalker! LOL >_< I'm planning on sorting jun's pictures according to his hairstyle! LMAO (that's for having too much time to kill! Ja-ne! ^^ 

OFF TOPIC ~ why am I the only one who isn't able to get into JDorama! I'm an official lurker of the site! Could only view the site with anonymization.net but could post nothing! *sigh* T__T

now, i really miss seeing junjunjun with all his funny facial expressions on utawara! here'r a couple of utawara caps where his expressions are simply priceless!!

"today, on Utawara Hotto Hitto 10, we shall see how much love i've got ~ "

ALright, altho there's always arashi around, but this time, I'm sad. Kinda goin thru a rough patch in my relationship. OR rather, there WAS a relationship. Right now, its 3am in the freaking morning and i'm in my studio @ campus, trying to write a bloody dissertation review! WTF. I shan't blabber anymore and get back to work.. *i need more arashi love*

Fucking screwed! Slept at 6 in the morning and I totally oversplept!!! ARGHHHH.. Anyhow, Jdorama seems to be down lately can't seem to access it. just read that nino's dorama special with chinese subs are out on ARASHItime forum! ^^ HOWEVER, i can't seem to register there! and hence, there wouldnt be any neener dorama! T__T *hops someone d/l n u/l it somewhere else!!*

OMG!! SHO kissing another girl in his butai?! OH MAN!! MY heart totally skipped a beat when I saw him kiss that girl man! \(@_@)/ I'm guessing that Sho's gonna be the next one after Jun to do all the on-screen smoochie smoochies! haha i can still handle it! LOL just like how i'll squeal while watching jun make out with an older woman? but HELL YEA! I still wanna see it!!

if only i had the time, i'll do a cap of all jun's smoochie smoochies! LOL as of now.... we'll just stick with Sho -->



AWWWWWWW  *tries to catch my breath*

And here's another interview where Arashi speaks of their days as a Johnny's Jr
(Tackey also joined in at some parts.. )


Host1: Let go to section number one. So, you went through a lot of difficult times?

Aiba: Yes, that right. Once, I was dancing on the set as a background dancer?br>
Matsujun: And the studio sets have huge lights all around the ceiling?br>
Aiba: And all of a sudden, one of the lights fell down and GAN! It fell right on my head! And all I could do was?rub my head like uchi guchi?(rubbing it)?br>
*Hosts & audience: Uwa!*

Host1: So did anyone else have to go through such accidents?

Nino: *raises up his hand* yup, yup?I have. Once, I was dancing in the front of the stage, and no one warned me about the sudden firework explosions, so the fireworks went right over me and it burned me whole hand.

Host1: Well, these are the times when you still have to act cool, and like flick your hand away from the fireworks! Like *flicks his hand in a funny way* taaaaa-i!?(It hurts!)

*Everyone laughs*

Host1: Okay, and the next section is called ncore in the toilet???

Host2: Haha what is this???

Nino: *raises up his hand* ah, yes, that is me. You see, I had to be on stage for almost all the songs during the concert, and I just could not hold it anymore, so then during the encore when everyone was like omoarigatou!?(thanks so much) to the fans, I was sitting in the toilet with the microphone going omoarigatou?

*everyone laughs*

Host2: Wait?so you were there until the end of the concert?

Nino: that right.

*Tackey looks confused and starts to think?

Tackey: AHHH! I REMEMBER WHEN YOU DID THAT!

Nino: yes, yes that was the number one moment, wasn it?

Host1: Alright, let go to the next section?wo appearances in a whole show?

Ohno: *raises up his hand* yes, that was me. You see, when I was a Johnny Jr background dancer, I only had to be on stage for 2 times through the whole show. So then I decided to go out in the beginning, then sleep for the rest of it until I had to go out again.

Nino: yes, and then after one show, we must fly to another city, like Osaka, and then after Osaka, we must fly back and so on.

Host1: Wow?ok, next section is?ne week, 35 shows??? Oh my God!

Sho: Yes. There would be 5 shows per day.

Host1: FIVE shows?

Sho: And because we would be dancing the whole time, by the end of each day, our feet would be swollen and our legs would be so painful that we can even move them.

Host1: Wow.. what about the others?

Matsujun: 5 shows a day

Aiba: yes, 5 shows?br>
*Nino and Ohno both nodd es?

Host1: What about Takizawa-kun?

Tackey: 6.

Hosts: SIX SHOWS A DAY?

Tackey: Yes. By the end, my legs were so stiff and they looked like sticks, just sticking out of my body. It was so tiring and painful.

Host1: As for me, I had 7 shows.

Arashi & Tackey: EE?? REALLY?

Host: Yes, yes of course?and now it is your (points to Host2) turn to answer  did 12 shows a day?*everyone laughs* nono, of course I didn do as many shows?br>
*The interview ends, and Arashi performs KANSHA KANGEKI AME ARASHI*

It's all right even if it's a dream

(Oh) I see you
Everyday in my dreams and I just wanna say
It's ok as a dream, right
C'mon yeah! S.H.O. What?!
Yo, I need you girl! Yeah ha ha
Check it out

Right now this relationship is ONE WAY
If I wake from this dream it'll be OK
(but in order to be okay) I need your love OH
Go beyond this door (to be) as one with the one on my mind
Anything and everything for you BABY
A throbbing (heart)beat, let's make a promise
This happiness I feel with you
PLEASE BE MY LADY

Is this for real? Yeah, maybe it's just on a whim. It's fine if it's a lie, I'm already out of time
Repeating words, even if I recall (them) I can't believe it after all

From between the clouds a brilliant light shines on me
Little by little, I float up from the ground
I spread my arms and fly into the sky as the town becomes smaller
(1)I search for your smile, ah- it's all right even if it's a dream

I don't want to say something trite
THE WAY I FEEL INSIDE
This is not a dream, IT'S REAL
Feelings that aren't lies, after L.O. (is) V.E.
and you, together, MAKE A story
If the light shines then there will be no confusion
If time passes then I will mature
THIS LOVE SONG IS FOR YOU
Again in a daze (because of) you
YOU ARE MY SUN AND MOON
(on) this earth that we journey on

Were shall we go? Nothing comes to mind, anything is fine as long as I'm with her
Please help this me who has fruitless feelings(2), what should I do?

Before being lost, before being tormented
I'll show you the happiness i feel for you from my heart
Don't forget these precious, precious feelings
If I can touch your tears ah- it's all right even if it's a dream

'It's not a dream,' to me, this is all I can say
I've never had experience (of this sort before)
moving forward, changing, the meaning of loving someone
Am I able to find it?

From between the clouds a brilliant light shines on me
Little by little, I float up from the ground
I spread my arms and fly into the sky as the town becomes smaller
Look, I search for your smile, ah- it's all right even if it's a dream

As requested by shini_no_shisha, here's the link for Aiba's letter on 24Jikan Terebi with Hero following up! ^^

--> sendspace download here

So, tell me how can I ever stop loving these boys?! XDDDD

ARGHHHH... I'm suppose to be working on my project .. but there I was -- watching a RAW version of Nino's drama sp!! OMFG! He's AWESOME man! Damn you Nino, u made me cry like hell eventhough i only understood 20% of what u're saying! I thought he was pretty good in Blue Light, but this one? Hands down man! *respect* Nino, u totally blow me away being a sick boy!

Gee, the thought of Nino dying really saddens me! Gotta admit, I was never a humongous fan of Nino, but now, I see him in a different light! LOL Once I manage to find subs for the show, I shall get Mommy to watch it with me! LOL ^^ Nino's the only one left in Arashi that my mom doesnt like (just becos he slouches!! "??!?!?!" =___= ) She loves Aiba! ^^V

Anyhow, I shall not allow Arashi hold me back from my work... uggghhh *dreadful* >__< Shall get back to work before the sleepy bug kicks in!

Here's Aiba-chan's letter on their 24hr charity program... AWWW.. it's awesome. So very sweet of Aiba ne?!

----------------

Aibas letter
Disclaimer: The translation wasn't by me. I just found it on the Net.

"To Arashi's members.
I have written down how i feel towards the members.
From the time we debut, it is already 5 years
A lot of things have happened;
Be it sad times, painful times or happy times
We have always been together.
Recently everyone has started to receive their personal job scope,
And I feel happy for everyone.
To me,
Arashi's members are the best partners,
As well as the best competitors.

But
Up til now, there is still something,
That whenever i think about it, i still feel that i've disappointed everyone.
And that is the time when i was hospitalised due to my chest infection.
During those few days, i just could not forget about you guys.
The work that was meant for me to do, had to be done by you guys.
[choked]

Matsujun: "Oei!"

After the operation, there was a scar on my chest,
Everytime i see it now, there'll be a surge of strength.
And i'll tell myself that i must be strong.
I'm really grateful to everyone.
There are things that could not be said due to shyness,
Thus I'd like to take this oppurtunity to tell everyone:

Matsujun - Thank you for being the one who thinks for Arashi more than anyone else
Nino - Thank you for being able to "read" the group's atmosphere and being able to bring up our spirits
Sho-kun - Thank you for holding together such a messy group of 5 different people
Leader, Ohno-kun - Even though you have not done anything that is like a leader, but your presence and your personality has always made one feel warmth. Thank you. You are very dependable, Leader.

From now onwards,
Let the 5 of us continue walking down this road together.
Lastly, I hope we can achieve our dream of "Being No 1"
It is my honour to be a member of Arashi"

-end of letter-

Host: Leader, How do you feel?
Leader: Ah! He surprised me
Host: Really? Matsujun?
Matsujun: Ah~ It was great
Host: Nino?
Nino: Our Aiba falls sick easily. And he's always worried about this. That's why he always feels like he's troubling us. But we don't think it that way because we are Arashi.
Host: Sakurai?
Sho-kun: During the period of time when he was sick, I think the one who feels the worst is him. I thank him for telling us how he feels during that period of time.
Nino: To Arashi, this has been a wonderful summer. Thank you everyone!

Aiight aiight, I'm totally sick and tired of working on my stupid virtual model now. Interim crit's tomorrow - i.e. there ain't gonna be any sleep tonight! ARGH. Fuck it man, I'm not gonna pin up my stuff by 9 when my presentation starts only at 1pm. >_<

Meanwhile, there's Mago Special waiting for me!!! OH yes, and O.C. too! LOL aghhhh why can't I get this over and done with quick? My ARASHI playlist has been on repeat for the gazillion time! hahaa It's a wonder that I'm still not sick of the songs. XDDDD ALRIGHT, I shall get my ass back to work for now. =__=

I'm totally in lurrrrve with JUN, AIBA & ARASHI! I shall start my groupieness right here.. but unfortunately, I've got a deadline to meet tomorrow & hence, I can't Arashi my time away.. >__<
Shall be back soon!

~ciao XD
