Arashi on Music Lovers

Awww, Sho-chan you wear denim-printed sweatpants?? XD I didn't even know such thing exists, but Shochan it's plain fug.. sorry to break it to you T_T But if comfortability is what you're going for then... yeah. I guess I'll give this faux-pas a pass. :D

Here's the pants we're talking about. Looks like a normal jeans, you'd think.

Sho's faux-denim

But don't let that fool you. Because if you try to put your hands in the pocket...

Sho's faux-denim 2

That's what happened.

And just for fun. Shochan showing everyone he's okay with his tacky pants and wore it right there and then.
 Shochan, you're... special. xD

Sho wearing his faux-denim on TV

And by the way, Ninomiya Kazunari. Is that a dress you're wearing???

Nino in a dress... I think

The music performance was great. It's so rare that I actually think their music performance is that good. Well, that and  they did sing "A Day in Our Life" so all is good with me. xD I didn't really care about Kaze no Mukou e before, but I think they did a nice performance of the song here.

Oh and Nakama Yukie is all kinds of gorgeous. That blue dress she was wearing and her black necklace... to die for. Yankumi can work the chic attire just as much as the sweats, apparently!

Isn't she beautiful? (I fail at screencapping. T_T)

Nakama Yukie

Anyway, it was a great appearance. The Sho-chan's bit is still too amusing. xD Oh and I watched "The Grudge" today because it was randomly on Sci-Fi and man, that movie still creeped the living shit out of me.

Neehoo, Yasuko to Kenji was so sweet and heartbreaking this week. I love that dorama.

And Shukudaikun tomorrow. Wonder who the guest will be.

Maou episode 7

VERY SAD.

Onee-san/NaruseTomoo scene was heartbreaking. And I thought last week's Shiori/Tomoo scene was already saddening, well what did I know. When Onee-san said "I've known all along," I was speechless. I choked. I didn't cry, I don't know why I didn't considering I'm a crybaby to the core (I sobbed hard every episode of Yoiko no Mikata, go figure).

Also, Tomoo's face expression as he saw the picture Sora drew for him. And Tomoo dropping his guard for a little precious moment and embraced Shiori. OMG. Hotter and way sadder than Domyouji/Makino, people.

I'm gonna rewatch (in awe) again here in just a few minutes and I am hoping I'll sob this time. xD Yes I'm weird I know.

And seeing the preview for the next week, with my very little Japanese comprehension, it seems like  Naoto finally figures out "Naruse Ryou".

Oh and Truth in Music Station, o wow. Dark Arashi is so very appealing. The dance is complicated. Very adult like. Me love long time. The boys are smashing in black and red.

semi-epic fail

So my boyfriend decided he's going to throw a hissy fit on me because I dropped the external hard drive accidentally. I accidentally stepped on the cable as I was trying to put something on the table, as per his brother's request.

Anyway. Whatever. NOT LIKE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.

Oh, and another fail to my day : my laptop received an unexpected gift this morning. A VIRUS. A motherfucking virus. So I tried the whole Keyhole/TVU thing and it worked for two days. Then this morning I woke up at 7 AM (on a fucking Saturday) trying to catch Yasuko to Kenji. Keyhole and TVU violently refused to work with me. And the next thing I know, this stupid XP Antivirus (which is actually THE virus) came popping on my screen.

Based on the info I found, this shit came through P2P or any codec installed. Since I haven't installed any codec in a while and the virus came right after I installed the fucking TVU, I take the blame on my stupid decision of installing this  idiotic software when I know better. I fucking know better. Well, okay, I shouldn't be generalizing, I know those softwares work for a lot of people. Just not for me, apparently.

So at 8 in a fucking Saturday morning, my breakfast consisted of drinking a glass of cold milk and frantically searching the internet for virus removal instruction. After following approximately three different instructions I finally got the little shit out of my laptop. And hopefully it won't ever come back again. Here's the instruction, btw. I didn't actually follow the one on the article. Scroll down the page and when you read the comments section, there's this "Someone" who posted a long, detailed, through instruction on removing this virus. That one worked for me.

On a sparklier, gayer, happier notes.

Yasuken is crazy fun. I'm browsing around CB to find it but none of the boxes I frequent have it uploaded already. Urgh. I'm dying to see Yasu with black hair and sexy specs and a sarcastic smirk. Yes, the usually girly, jokey, and cheery Yasu. Oh and Okura in prep attire. That might just be the death of me.

Plus other actors there are funny.. Mabo, Ryoko Hirosue (of whom I started liking since Oyaji), and Mikako Tabe who's just so adorable even Sho and Nino treat her like their little sister. xD

Ohh. and Maou. How do I even fucking begin.

MAOU IS AWESOME. Last episode was such.. awesomeness. Wow. Oh and btw. Naruse. WHY DID YOU NOT RUN AFTER SHIORI. You stupid fool. She's so into you YOU have no idea. But I don't blame you. I would be too if I were her.

'Kay, that's it. Back to scouting CB again.

on Maou

Shiori you lucky girlllll.... hahaha. I'm so hopelessly hoping that they'd get together soon.. Naruse and Shiori!! Talk about chemistry. Even my laptop screen can't handle the heat.. sparks flying out of it because Satoshi and Kobayashi Ryoko's chemistry is just TOO strong. I WANT TO MARRY THIS COUPLE. XD I haven't rooted for a het OTP this strong since Blair & Chuck from Gossip Girl!!!

Satoshi/Ryoko beats Ohmiya.. for now, anyway. Sorry Nino.

I WANT TO WATCH THE NEXT MAOU RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT.
NOW.

on k-t, oh no.

I had dreams of Taguchi Junnosuke last night. YES, that's right, Taguchi. The "iriguchi, deguchi, taguchi desu." guy. Yes. Seriously.

And I'm starting to get a little concerned about myself. I'm enjoying just a little too much of Cartoon KAT-TUN episodes.

And I'm liking Junno and Kame. Maybe a little too much too..

And I have "Don't U Ever Stop" performance on my iPod. And I find myself watching it about five times a day on average.

Scary shit.

Group's made of sluts alright, but boy, don't they just know how to entertain.

Still love ya, boy.

The fandom is shaking over this right now. I haven't had internet connection for a while after moving to a new house, so I was late into the whole thing. BUT really, whatever. Big fuckin' deal. He's a healthy, attractive 27 years old male.
Why can't he have sex? Seriously, the whole cheap yellow Japanese tabloids business is ticking me off.

So if it's true he had a threesome. Kudos. He is normal. If it's not true, then those girls selling the story are airheads and it was too unfortunate for Satoshi to be hanging out with those stupids.

If he smoked a joint and it's true, so what? I don't think it's a big deal, people do it, and I am pretty sure it was a social thing. If his comment after trying was really in fact "it tastes funny" then it's kind of really apparent it was his first time trying. And really. I'd hit a joint if it were with the Satoshi.

'Kay, but I understand in Japan it's SRS BSNS. They're treating possession and/or usage of weed equals to that of heroine whereas in the US it is stronger when it comes to heroine. I got it, I got it. Still don't think someone needs to serve time for trying his first joint in a gathering that happened three years ago.

I still am a Satoshi fan, still think he's awesome, still appreciates him and his work. Rock on Satoshi, you have NO idea how many people are supporting and even praying for you.

But really, Satoshi, next time you're having a fun drunken/high/horny party please don't take anymore pictures. Not because I don't want to see 'em, but because you never know where they're gonna end up in.

Leave no evidence, buddy. And use condoms, because the Satoshi does not need STD. Okay, darling?

STILL LOVE YA, BOY.

on Maou

Satoshi-kun, you're trying to KILL me! hahaha. This is just too much to absorb for an obsessed Satoshi fangirl. ALL AT ONCE. Thank gods for all these blessings on you, lots of publicity. LONG TIME COMING, SATOSHI. You deserve them all. This is your big break.

1. All kinds of news reports on Maou.. Zoom In, Ousama no Brunch, and whateverelsethoseprogramsarecalled.
And Satoshi's comment when asked who's the special guest on Maou's first episode : "Boku no daisuki na." oh my Ohmiya fangirl heart just gets all warm and fuzzy there. (speaking of which, have you seen the infamous lips to lips Ohmiya kiss at a concert? haha. Let's wait next for other pairings from other groups to follow their path of Great Fanservice.)

2. Maou on Tokyo Friend Park. Toma and Satoshi are such yin and yang. Calm, cool Satoshi, and passionate, talkative Toma. They also have that little awkwardness aura around them, which I think is just all too adorable.

3. And Maou press conference. Watch out for Satoshi's smirks and halfhearted smiles along the way -basically hotness summarized. And when one of the cast members (i'm guessing) mistook Satoshi's group (Arashi) for V6. Watch out for Satoshi's priceless, "seriously biatch?" smirk. His face stayed cool and calm but it just said so much in one simple look.Hahaha.

Here, see it for yourself.

So much adorability. And finally Maou airs this Friday. Arashi's growing big, and staying low-key and clean, and I love that. Even Nakai-san of the super-idol group SMAP had to admit, these boys are top idols.

'Tis my season of joy..

One Love

Arashi's performance on the latest Music Station was so.. sweet. A lot said it looks very mature, which I completely agree. Again and again it reminds me so much of why I am still their fangirl and they're still my favorite JE group of them all. They stick to their style. Sweet, and very idolesque (I mean it in a harmless way), and prince-charming-ish. And they do it straight to the point, no-nonsense style. They don't try to roughen themselves or anything, they're a boysband and they're proud and they damn right show it. They sell dreams alright. xD  Arashi is professional, and agreeing with Edo Harumi's remark on the latest Shukudaikun, Arashi is "yappari, Nippon ichi no STAR!"

And don't they just look like the perfect grooms you'd want to wait there in the altar for you?? Hahaha. Those suits are gorgeous, and for once I don't mind the whole flower decoration thingies on their chest. This time, I gotta give it to their stylist for having a moment of clarity. Thank the gods.

Even when Arashi is singing a song that's not too bubblegumish, they still stick to their idol style, the one style that makes Johnny's big : the popstar way - they sing and dance and they do it right. Example, Pikanchi. Another good example, A Day in Our Life. And when they do sing a bubblegum song, you know it's good quality. I don't usually expect anything less from Arashi, I expect good and they always deliver. I myself am not a bubblegum pop fan, and definitely not fond of boysband , but Arashi is exception, I guess you can say that. I mean, I do like some other JE group for their innovative and alternative style in music, but as far as the "real popstar idols" go, Arashi is IT. You hear something like "Kitto Daijoubu" and even with the rap on it, it's still very.. sweet. It's their signature, I think, that sweetness, that popstar aura that radiates from every single song they sing, I swear. They don't seem to bother much on striving for images other than that popstar image- like manly images, or funny images, or sexy images, or whatever else that is that other JE groups constantly strive to be. They started as popstars, and they continue being popstars, being idols, slowly but surely, and they do it with confidence. I love that the most in Arashi. The pride they take from being in their jobs, the pride they have in their sophisticated-yet-dorky image.

Like Aiba-chan said in his Kyocera Dome letter, Arashi didn't try building their way in a flashy way, they just simply be Arashi, be themselves, slow but sure.

Honestly I didn't like "One Love" very much when I first watched the PV. It was just not my cup of tea. But their performance in MS made me change my mind slightly, although not much, about the song. It does in so many ways reflect their emotional growth, that they now are men, not boys anymore, and they're at a level where they're very secure with where they are as far as career goes. Arashi is sophisticated, Arashi is funny, Arashi is kind, Arashi is dorky, and Arashi is Arashi.

...which is why, despite of my easily-bored nature, I still, to this very day, am a proud Arashi fan. Rock on guys!
