No, I'm not dead, yet. XDD

But school and work is definitely trying to murder me~

Anyway, I visited NYU this weekend for a short time,

It was really exciting being on the campus of my (hopefully) future college.

Although now I'm freaking out about the application and portfolio being due soon D:

But the point was,

I was in New York.

Meaning, I went to a Kinokuniya store for the first time!

It was awessomeee~

I got to get the Switch magazine that featured Matsujun,

the new Duet with the Maou pair,

and the ONE regular edition CD.

Cost a pretty buck, but totally worth it.

And believe it or not, my mom left for Korea / Japan yesterday.

I know, right?

Basically stole my dream lol.

But yeah, I wrote down a list of all the things I need Arashi-related, in english and japanese, and korean pronunication.

I hope she gets at least 2 or 3 from the list.

Goshh, and I told her to go to Keikarou, and to turn on the TV whenever an Arashi show was on, and to drink Pepsi Nex, and eat Tongari Corn, and try to go to the Johnny's Shop in Harajuku (unlikely D:) and and and, SO MUCH! NOT FAIR! I WANT TO GO TO JAAAPAAAAAAN!!~~

And thus ends my rant.

Uhm, click my dragon babies? XD Thanks<3

PS: I like the regular edition cover for Beautiful Days better :X Well, I can't really see their faces on the LE cover, so we'll just have to wait and seee~ but from the bigger picture overall look, I prefer the RE. Good thing I bought both!

VSA spoilers for this week~
Whose the guests for VSA this week?

Because Jun is totally fanboying over the guy, and it's totally cute XDDD
Ohno was being ridiculously cute from the being aswell~ He went *poke poke poke* at the guest's chest after everyone was being all impressed at the guy's hard pecs I guess, and then later, totally depressed over losing in jankenpon and having to be support for Sho in Cliff Climb ^_^

Ah, guest is a baseball player~ Matsujun didn't even press the button within the 20 seconds for Falling Pipe because he was too busy talking about the guy's catching mitt ^___^;;;

Arashi has got some flashy shirts this week!

btw, Fumi (my iMac) is in the repair shop for a week (hopefully shorter) so I'll be kind of...disappearing for that time.

Guest totally caught Aiba-chan off guard in Falling Pipes right now, but at least they're leading~ 370 to 70!
Are are are, seems there's some disloyalty to Arashi from Matsujun during Rolling Coin Tower?

:P Jun just handed off a bunch of Arashi's 20 point coins to the guest~
And he just cheered for the guest ^_____^;; Oh Jun, you fanboy you~

YATTA! Tower fell on the guest!! Though Matsujun is totally not happy~ Well, maybe kind of as Arashi forces him to raise his hands in celebration XD

Our boys win with 900 points!

Well, mata ne!~

And and and what? Arashi is having another concert in Japan AND AAA2008?

omg...I'll be bankrupt by the time I go to college. *falls over*

And, sorry, I must have missed something...it says "Kaze no Muko e" is the theme for "Beijing" starring Sho...HUH.

"Just announced on today's Zoom In SUPER a few minutes ago. It seems Arashi is going to be singing NTV's Beijing Olympics theme song like they did 4 years ago. The song is called, I believe, Kaze no Mukou e. It's pretty upbeat from what I could hear of it." - blood_opal@LJ

lol, cdjapan sucks at their item descriptions -__-;;

I ordered this some time ago from an LJ user and received it yesterday :D

The spine seemed sturdy and wasn't like...bent inward so it looked easy to scan, therefore, I decided to~

It's probably already been scanned somewhere, out there in the fandom, but I figured, why not?

There are 66 pictures in total, averaging probably 1450x1500 in size.

I apologize in advance for the crap cropping XD I didn't feel like cleaning them up after scanning, just scanning the damn things was a job in itself~

Well anyway, some teasers, and then there are DL links for the .rar, enjoy!!

DL: MU // SS

As usual with my scans, do as you wish with these, as long as you don't claim them to be yours. I don't really care for proper credit anyway, since I've already named all the files with my name in it, if you want to go through the trouble of renaming and claiming as your own, well then, oh well XD

BTW, there are definitely 66 files, even though the files are named to seem that there are 68 of them. I missed naming two of them no.007 and no.036 XD

Ehh?

Dream A Live tour DVD should be releasing "soon", deshou?

Aswell as AAA2008 DVD (thinking ahead!!)

Then earlier, there's the Arashi is Alive! photobook.

And now, maji de?

Another single for Riida's drama?

Adding it all up, it'll be around $150 ne? orz

I pray to God there'll only be one edition for the DVDs too, though, with AAA2006, we might aswell prepare for a LE and RE -_____-;

I won't be able to go to college because of Johnnys yo! ;_;

Well, at least I got my Hanadan non-no photobook today.

To be honest, I'm still debating whether or not to try to scan the thing.

I don't want to ruin the binding yet, and I'm sure someone else will scan them anyway, and probably better XD

10 more entries till 100 ne :D

Anyway, I'm watching News Zero & Shukudaikun,
I woke up too late for Zero, but I managed to catch a glimpse of when they were talking about Arashi hosting 24 hr. TV again this year. The new shirts are lovely ^____^ and I'm thinking Aiba said something baka-ish again, because they tried to stop him from talking XD
Ah, keyhole is being lovely for me right now *squishes it*

Still waiting for Shukudaikun...
They showed a preview, looks like they're doing that skit again, where one person shoots the other, and it's all dramatic. Didn't they do this on Shukudaikun before?

It's on!

Ah, looks like Degawa will appear as a special guest~
It's always fun with him because our boys become so S XD

lol, this guest ne, she's making the funniest noises. I wonder who she is.
I think she just announced that Riida was her favorite? Maybe? *fail*
lmao, there's already some instense Ohmiya, Kazu feeding Riida.
Ah, Kazu fed Sho-chan too!

lollll, the guest made Kazu feed her too, of course, being Kazu, he stuffed her with an insane amount.

D-did Aiba just feed Jun? D-did I seriously just miss that?!
Rewind keyhole, rewind!

omg, Aiba is a monster. Now they're eating this cake with cherries or something on it, and Aiba-chan forked up like 5 at a time and stuffed it all in his mouth like it was NOTHING XDDD

Ehhh? They're eating this choco cake thats...SPICY?
lmao, at all their faces.
No Sho-chan! You're bad at spicy!
Nani? He's not reacting!!
Haha, all the other boys are saying "Okashi yo!"

Just a side note, Matsujun is looking good :D *runs away*

Kazu's hair is starting to look like it did in the One era ^___^

Aiba is wearing Junba colors :D

Hahaha, poor Degawa, he appeared in the window on the side of the set, and it seems that the boys are asking him questions, and they keep yelling "Uso!" and then Kazu slams the window doors in his face.
!!! This time his finger got stuck!! XDD

Ah, it's the time for the skit.

Aiba-chan is the shooter, Degawa is the...shootee haha.
Aiba had the first line...and then suddenly, Degawa yells CUT!
Saying that Aiba-chan was "dame" XD
Take 2!
This time, it was Degawa who flubbed his lines ^^;;
Take 3!
It was successful...demo, Degawa flinched hsi fingers too much after he died XD

Now, it's a romantic skit with Degawa and the guest.
Degawa went in for a kiss, but the guest pulled out, sasuga~
Now he's all fired up, yelling CUT! CUT! CUT!

More food?
There Jun goes, being S, holding Degawa to force him to eat.
What is it?
Hahaha!! Aiba-chan keeps splashing the hot water on Degawa~
Ah, kita, Degawa retaliated with a smack to Aiba, everyone was so shocked XD

One Love CM~

So Degawa ended up eating the daikon in the broth thing that they were trying to force him to eat.
And he started yelling about how oishii it was and jumped out of the window of the set XD
I wonder what kind of broth it was!~

Tegomass's new single CM~

Jun's spiderman AU CM!!

loll, so the guest is doing some dance/singing from her new...DVD? And the boys are just...standing on the side like ^^;;;

Aw, they tried to follow her in the end ^___^
Soundded like there's going to be an Aibaland soon?

Ah, I haven't been able to watch anything Arashi live-time in a while, but now that's it's summer time :DD

(I love the new Apple CMs with Coldplay, so pretty~)

I got some shop photos that I had ordered in the mail yesterday, had some time to scan them in today.

I know they're already around on the net, but figured since I had them, why not ^^;

No need to credit me for use or anything, it's not that big of a deal haha.

Jun

Sighh, one of my all-time favorite pictures, ever.

Jun2

Another great one, from the Time era. I miss when they still used the kanji for the corner name things D:

Jun4

This one is bursting with cute, again, from the Time era.

Jun3

From the Dream A-live sets, I keep getting a Christmas feel from it, just for the colors. No, I'll say Sakuraiba-feel XD

Jun5

Matsujun + Animals = awesome picture :D

Especially since I love this outfit.

And here we have more Time set pictures! The first one, I ALWAYS think to myself When did Jun have a Hitler mustache!!? XD It's still a darling picture. And there's no words for the second one<3 Dorky Jun ftw.

A post that isn't so uda uda! XD

I was jumping around on random Arashi videos and found this little gem:

Arashi - The letter from Aiba in kyosera DOME

Well, needless to say, there was korean subtitles! So to make up for my uselessness lately, I decided to translate using those korean subs. Meaning, these are in no way 100% perfect, and they've been written so that it was easiest for me to bend my mind around converting japanese from korean to english |D

So, to anyone who might enjoy this, uhm...ENJOY!!

AIBA'S LETTER

Last year, at this time,

filming for our movie Kiiroi Namida (Yellow Tears) had begun.

Do you remember?

Filming had begun during rehearsals for our summer concert.

Although we could not go but for 2 ~ 3 hours a day,

everyday we enjoyed ourselves loudly together.

Right after the movie shooting finished, it was the summer concert.

When that finished, it was our first Asia tour.

For the first time in 7 years since we've debuted, we held concerts in foreign countries.

Together, with all the fans who support us throughout Asia,

Arashi was able to introduce the japanese culture through our music.

It was a really great experience.

Also, we were able to bring the Asia tour to Japan like so.

Since our summer concert and until this return (to Japan I'm guessing), we were able to work peacefully and happily (with no injuries, etc.)

Arashi can sense the love everyone sends us.

We are very grateful to everyone who is here at the Dome today.

We are on this stage because of you.

We are grateful that each time we meet, you support us.

Although it wasn't a fast thing,

we are here because we rose one step at a time.

That is the Arashi we are today.

Since the New year of our return (kind of shaky about this translation), Matsujun had said that, but

I truly believe it.

I don't know if it's that we moved up slowly because we weren't so desperate (I had to ask my mom about this, and she said that it's like, they didn't do everything possible to make it to number one, like being really flashy and out there), but because we did, one by one, we are here like this today, is what I mean.

Wherever we perform for our eighth year, we're happy,

like Nino said.

We want an Arashi-like concert at the Dome,

like Sho-chan said.

Lets show everyone that Arashi made it genuinely through these past 8 years,

lastly, like Riida said.

Through this concert, if we were able to create new fans

who would later think that they'd like to go to another Arashi concert,

we will be most happy.

We will now show everyone,

Namida no Nagareboshi (Tear's Meteor)

I wanted to not listen to One Love until I had it in my hands...but who could resist watching the PV? And watching it muted is silly XD

So, the first minute or so, I thought Well, this is cute, ne. It's alright.

And then, THIS HAPPENED.

JUNBA FTW

I....I....WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS MY HAPPINESS.

lmao, it's not even that big of a deal. but with the ecstasy of the really happy and lovely dovey music, and doves flying around everywhere, the soft pastel water colors, its kind of 1000x romantic XD

Well anywho, the song is really catchy! I really love it! The reviews for it from concert reports weren't so great, actually, pretty non-existent, but I really like the melody of the chorus<3

Yay! I've only got technically 1 more day of school left~

Ureshii~
