Hiiiiiiiiii people that are still friends with me X3
I...kind of abandoned my vox huh.
I guess blogging just kind of got boring to me. BUT!
Some happenings have been, happening, that makes me want to share to the world!
I'm finally visiting Japan! WOOOO!
Well, I'm leaving for Korea on July 21 to see family, and do other errands/tasks/activities XD
Then I'll be setting off to Japan on August 6, and then returning to the states on the 10th.
Hey friends in Japan, lets meet up and play? :D
Too freaking bad Arashi won't be having a concert or something
And yet! Nino is having his butai!
And now I'm looking for tickets :P
And as every JE fan knows, getting tickets for these things is like a miracle.
I heard a ticket went for 180000 yen at Yahoo!Auctions JP O_O
Right now, the ones that I would be able to go to are going for around 11000 ~ 50000 yen :/
So I'm seeing if there's a kind soul on JE_SALES over at LJ that might be selling an extra.
I would use ITM-4-U or something, but their auction fees are freaking ridiculous!
Anyway, if there's anyone here that could help me out, I would love you forever and do whatever you want? XD
Actually, I wish I could go on August 4th, because that's my fantabulous birthday!
But alas, my family wanted me to spend it with my relatives in Korea, so I'll still be in Korea then.
Okay, also, I asked this along with my ticket request at JE_SALES and thought I should ask over here too~
"Also, during my short stay in Japan, I was wondering if people would be interested in having me buy them shop photos/other JE shop goods/Strangers on a Train goods. I mean, I'll be going to the JE shop/butai venue either way, so I figured it'd be okay to take orders along the way. If demand is high, I'd be glad to play the middle-man for a few days XD Also, since it's not that much of an effort on my part (unless there's a HUGE demand where I would have to buy tons of things) I would keep the prices pretty close to their original prices. Any interest?"
Uhm, now, I'm going to list all the wonderful things that I'll attempt to cover during my time in Japan.
HERE.WE.GO!
- Johnny's Shop in Harajuku (Arrive to receive a queue ticket at 8 AM or earlier!)
- Keikarou Restaurant (Look for pretty!Aiba-Mama, gawk at the Arashi shrine, leave a note in the book, eat!)
- Ebisu Garden Place (Get giddy thinking about how Jun was standing, like, right there.)
- Takeshita Doori in Harajuku (Say no to unofficial JE goods! Or at least try!)
- BookOFF (Uhm, look for cheap old Arashi stuff I might want!)
- Tsutaya in Roppongi Hills (Buy more stuffs!)
- HMV in Shibuya (And more stuffs!)
- Tower Records in Shibuya (AND MORE!)
- Takoyaki (I want me some genuine street vendor takoyaki!)
- Ramen (I want me some genuine Japanese ramen for cheap!)
- Arashi TV Shows Live Time (Watch AnS, Himitsu, VSA, Shimura, Zero, etc on a real TV! Live!)
I'm also debating about going to Ueno Zoo because I really want the ugly lizard plushie that Tsukasa got for Tsukushi in Hanadan Season 1 XDDD Could you just walk in to the gift shop, and leave? *ponders*
If anyone has any suggestions/tips about places to go, how to get there, or just things to do in general, definitely leave a comment please~ I want to make the most of those 4 days *_*
And last but not least, have some icons that I made just because :D Till next time~
OH!! And, lol, guess where I'm staying? At the Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo *snorts*. Any guesses as to why I fought hard with my parents to choose Keio? X3
*And now, some shameless advertising*
For my lovely TCG players:
And for just bored people :P
Forgot to post this here on Vox too, been neglecting my Vox lately, sorry guys ^^; I have been kind of commenting though!
Happy happy birthday Keio-kun! Had nothing better to contribute, and I received this recently, so since it was Sho-chan's Honey and Clover theme song, I figured I should scan the pretty pretty pictures inside<3 Aozora Pedal 1st Press Regular Edition CD. Enjoy!

Only scanned the Arashi parts.
Please don't repost as your own.
<3
Well, here in America we've still got about 5 hours to go until the ball drops, but for most of you guys, it's already 2009 huh? Happy New Years ^________^ <3333 Countdown was fun, especially since Arashi got to shine with their 10 year special medley performance! I managed to catch most of the concert through Keyhole, although it wouldn't let me log on until about 20 minutes into the show (I wanted to count down with all the boys! D:) It was the most amount of people watching one channel I've ever seen, it got to around 1100!! No wonder it wasn't letting people log on~
And a new year calls for new things, so look what I worked really hard for 2 hours to do!:
Purple hair! *squee* I've done purple highlight extensions before, but not dyed, so it's new. *adds to list* I'm trying to dye my hair every color possible, you know, just for funsies~ I've got down black (natural hair color), red, brown, yellow, orange, blue, and now purple~ Next challenge: green?!
Anyway, even though it's super purple under a good bright light, it's super-plain in normal lighting, meaning it just looks black to me. Although, my mom claims it still looks crazy purple, she's even worried that my manager might have a fit about it XD I'm thinking of doing a new cut as well. I love changing my hair, and it feels a great way to start 09!
I've also scanned this:
:DDD I bought this original VHS of Shinjuku Boy Detectives from someone at je_sales for like $20 USD~ Although, it says 4800 yen on the spine :O I love me some super-chibi-Junba! Even though the movie itself is kind of a laugh :P You guys should check it out if you haven't yet, when you're feeling down. It'll make you lol in no time from the ridiculous ^_^ It's been subbed and is floating around on the web as usual~
Okay, enough blabbering. See you guys in the new year!
Happy belated birthdays!
I'm truly sorry to Riidaa for just completely not even leaving a message on his birthday, but these days its been hectic for me *facepalms* And I just missed Masaki's birthday in Japan anyway, although it's the 24th still here in the US.
I meant to post this by the 24th of Japan, but yeah, missed it by a couple of hours huh?
Anyway, so this is both Satoshi and Masaki's birthday gifts and my christmas gift to you all~
Thanks to those who haven't deleted me XD

Enjoy!
The way this calendar is set up is generally, on one side would be a picture, and on the other would be a week of dates. I didn't bother to scan all the date pages because it would be redundant and there's no Arashi on them anyway ^_^ I also didn't bother to scan all the backs of each coaster, they're all the same except each one had each member's name on the back according to who was on the front.
Holy crap.
AnS, I love you, forever and ever<3
My Junba-loving heart was totally not prepared for this, I literally yelped out, you know, at 11 PM, in a quiet house.
The whole freaking episode is love.
Aiba's really really really bad test to see if each person was awake (aka- jabbing people with a painbrush), Sho's reaction to said jab in the face, Ohno just being a cute little 28 year old who looks 5 years old trying to sleep, Nino's amazing magic trick (he IS getting really good!) and constant abuse of Aiba, and of course, Jun's nerdy manga-loving self XDD <333 I love it when AnS runs out of money for shows~
Yatta, got some of the Matsujun photos I ordered! They're all pretty old, and are absolutely adorable~
Scanned it just for you lovely people!~
My favorite out of them all :DD So cute, I just wanna pinch those cheeks! XD
More Junior goodness, with a side of Yoko, Tsubasa, Tackey, and someone that I don't recognize!
I love all the shop photos from this set, I want to collect them all~ I don't know how many there are, but I definitely want the one of Jun actually taking a bite of whatever he's eating.
And lastly some random assorted Matsujun photos (looks terribly skinny in the middle huh)~
And I took this quizzie, stolen from aatash@LJ, and I was pretty surprised at the accuracy.
Tell me your result!
you are steelblue #4682B4 |
Your dominant hues are cyan and blue. You like people and enjoy making friends. You're conservative and like to make sure things make sense before you step into them, especially in relationships. You are curious but respected for your opinions by people who you sometimes wouldn't even suspect. Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it. Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up. |
First off, I scanned my Dream a Live Regular CD for a request made at boys_paper@LJ, so if anyone would like it, i've uploaded it at MF here. It includes a (kind of) badly photoshopped-together poster. I did my best though!
I'll be scanning the LEs of truth / Kaze no muko e in a couple of minutes for another request if anyone is interested ^_^ Done! Find them here!
Secondly, my mum came home today from Korea / Japan, and she brought crack!
The good kind!
Goodies include an unofficial Jun Large Photo & Clearfile type thing, Flix Japan No. 3 with Nino, Ohno's Otakara Photobook (my mum said the shop only had his o_o), unofficial Jun notepad with stickers (I may scan this, there's some cute pictures of Jun in it :D), unofficial keychains (one two-sided Jun and one two-sided Arashi), Iza, Now! DVD, How's It Going? DVD, 5x5 RE, Iza, Now! RE, Pika**nchi Double RE, Singles Collection 1999 - 2001 CD, Arashic RE, So Ji Sub's "Lonely Life" Single (this is a special copy of Ji Sub's digital single that my cousin received directly from him *squee*), Kim Jong Kook's 5th Album & autograph (A "not for sale" version, this is the copy my cousin received directly from him [she's his fashion coordinator] and even though I'm not much of a fan of his music, he is stunning in person and therefore I'm a fan lol), and an unreleased photo of So Ji Sub autographed that, again, my cousin received from him, with the "Lonely Life" CD. He wrote "Dear Jennifer Shin" in korean! *squee x100* So Ji Sub was my dai-crush before I found Arashi to be honest~
Other than these, she got me a bunch of "in-style" clothes from both Korea and Japan, including a nifty purple scarf that looks vaguely similar to one that Jun wore in a photoshoot (too lazy to track down the picture XD). Oh and a So Ji Sub fan club t-shirt, it's maximum pretty~
*sigh* I'm on cloud nine right now~ I'm absolutely floating~~
Oh and that random black&red thing in the top right corner is a japanese paper fan my mum got from a restaurant for free hahah. She said she thought I would like it- and I do! I don't know what it says (can't read kanji yet ;_;), but I might pin it to my wall :D
And even though I can't go to AAA in Korea next weekend, my cousin promised me to grab all the goods she can from the venue, since she's got some inside people in SM, who manages Arashi when they're in Korea.
FIGHTING UHNEE! SARANGHAE!!♥
PS: Ohh Oh oh, my mum accidentally bought the RE of Step & Go and Love So Sweet, both of which I have, so I want to re-sell them for $10 USD. I'm not trying to make a profit, just trying to make it back for my mum, any takers?
The few graphics I've managed to make since the last time I made graphics XDD
A good old grungey Junba wallpaper, and a clean pretty Jun wallpaper :D
And a small batch of icons!

Thank you everyone<3 Comments are love, use them to your heart's content!
-edit
Oh and my baby dragons are growing!! *squee* If you haven't yet, please click?<3
And I adopted a cute little purple one :P
Sugezo!
VSA SPOILER
Our Aibaka's miracle catch tonight on VSA!! 210 points!
Everyone was pretty scared when he first said he would lay down and do it, but the boy pulled through huh~ They would have lost if Aiba-chan hadn't gotten this just now! Although, he only really had to get 30 points minimum, thanks to Jun's previous 80 ^^ I actually just turned in when Pipe catch started, so I don't know what they were playing before to be losing by like 100 points, but phew, they won!~
And in the aftertalk, I'm not sure but I think they were making fun of Sho-chan's shoulders lol~ I think Ohno asked "Why are your shoulders sloping so much" and then Aiba pointed out that the shoulder hem lines of his t-shirts never matched where his shoulder actually was XDDD
I missed watching Ryuusei today :\ Was it good everyone?
