It's 3 in the morning, and I'm watching the 2006 Dome DVD (or 2007?)..... Yeah I don't know why either XD

Arashi is cool na... That song, Cool and Soul, even though I'm listening to it for the first time, there are some parts that are so familiar, because they come out in the later concerts! And Arashi's greetings are the same as they are in last year's concerts, haha! It's so awesome that they have been doing the same thing for years, although it didn't attract attention till recently.

Blue. Heard that song on youtube when I first joined the fandom, it's been years since I last heard it XD Now there are many concert favourites  that surely make it into every concert's tracklist as of 2008 or so, but before these new, popular songs that made money came about, there were gems, like Blue! :)

Yesterday I watched the HNA guested by Naka Riisa, who was hosted by Matsujun & Aiba.

Read it in many places, heard it in many places, and when she previously came on the show too. Naka Riisa really really really really does look alot like Nino. The way her face moves, the eyes, the mouth.... it was so much like him I was shocked XD

Made me miss him when I saw her :)

Nino... hehehe....

Happy Birthday love :)

Dear Sakurai Sho,
Happy 31st Birthday!

I've been hearing alot of things about you in the internet.... maybe because my 99% of my LJ friends page is filled with Arashi related news.
I hear that HNA is ending, and that you are going to have a show with another host. And though my heart is happy for you, I am getting depressed over the end of HNA. It has to happen sometime, I guess. Even so, please remember that for us "Out Of Japan" fans, the only place where we can see you are in DVDs (and NHK Channel). So, if it's not too much trouble, kindly talk with your superiors or whoever and dashite-kan more DVDs. 2012 was a good year, with 2 DVDs (one in the making probably). I await its release patiently :) All of you look good in the DVDs, so I assure you, its a good investment.

I love reading your JWeb translations too. Kindly post more, that is, if its not too much trouble. I will also work harder in order to buy an i-phone so I can buy the Johnnys app (I think that's what its called), and I can read all the JWebs.

I've been listening to alot of your songs and reading their translations recently, and realized something. You have alot of songs about working, running, living and self sufficiency. At times, I feel happy with those lyrics, and at other times, not so happy. I wonder, how do they make you feel? And you also have to live out those words, I suppose. 

I felt very happy to see you last year. It was a good year for you from the viewpoint of a fan. I wish you have a better year ahead.

Thank You and Lots of Love.

Yours Sincerely,
Meenutrust

The Arafes DVD is my latest most favourite DVD. Here's why!:

1. They sang Sketch! - now we know the song really exists! (Yay!) and boy, did they make us wait for it, since the Scene Training Camp! XD

2. OHMIYA SK - same as above, now we know that this much talked about duo is not just make believe

3. DJ MJ - If Beatiful World's Shake it made us scream our heads off, DJ MJ made it explode

4. Matsujun wears eyeliner - looks good on him too!

5. Ohno's solo - All the member's solos were fantastic and a hundred times better than when they first performed it, but the images of the other four dancing along with leader on the screen was much too cool 

6. Aiba Masaki - The DVD favoured him this time around <3

7. The footage for Love Situation - the four panels made me so happy

8. The pink and black costumes before the encore - so sharp

9. The orchestra - they made the songs sound so much better

10. Truth - the choreography!

11. New version of Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi - right after their thank you speeches

12. Matsujun looking like he's having the most fun of all <3

13. Eyes With Delight - an epic song, and Leader's solo!!!!

14. Energy Song living up to its name! - also love the boys confusion at how come the song got to be so famous without much of its voters attending the live XD zekkou chou chou~!

15. Sakurai Sho's thank you speech - I might be wrong, but it feels like the first time he has asked us to keep following him <3 (seems like something Aiba and Nino say alot, and Jun and Ohno say yoroshiku onegaishimasu alot)

16. Green - the stage was so pretty....

17. The idea of the whole concert seemed very personal and small budget type, but they did it like a proper full fledged concert!

18. I lost my voice the day after screening XD
19. I didn't buy it this time, but this concert's uchiwa's were awesomely cute! <3

20. I almost missed this! In the beginning VTR: the three animated girls we followed to Kokuritsu looked alot like Morisanchuu! XD

Wasn't that orchestra just amazing?

I got goosebumps when they were playing One Love. Professional, very professional. 

And I love the boys so much for playing 5x10 there too :)







The results of their New York trip was showing as well - Truth was awesome beyond words, I'm so proud of them :)

Just watching Arafes Disc 1 now <3



I personally feel that all of Arashi needs to be watched at the same time for a fan to get optimum satisfaction. Looks like the DVD producer thought so too :)

Well, he's gone and done it again :)

Just when I thought that no song on earth could compete with Niji and Doko Ni Demo Aru Uta, Nino gives us this.

He had me crying already at "Suki nanda yo". I can't figure it out! XD

I can't decide if it's a sad song or not, but it's most definitely a lonely one, and even with that, it doesn't sound bitter... Why??!! T^T

Why do you sound so positive with these words... you make me want to tear my hair out... baka...

It's been quite some time, I think, since Lenny Kravitz guested on Anishi.

The sheer amazingness of it hit me again when I heard Fly Away just now XD

I saw the Arafes goods just now, damn they look so cool!

Grr, stupid RL....

I've decided! Since I can't buy the goods, I'm going to look for similiar looking items :)

Orange, grey and white.... It already sounds like it'll take me a long while.... XD

Regards to Arafes, I can't wait to read the reports!!! :D
