FOR THE LOVE OF ARASHI

The 1st time I saw you in person & heard your live voice during Blast in Miyagi, you mesmerized me. I was surprised to see how cute you are (I remembered during 24hrs TV some foreigner you interviewed said you're cuter in person & I agree). Eventually I had a niban in Arashi & that's you. I love everything about you; your acting, your personality, you being a bratty, your love for money, your work ethics, your smile, your laughs, & most especially the love you have for the members. In your special day let me thank you for inspiring me to do my best everyday. I wish you all the happiness in the world & stay healthy always. I love you! Otanjoubi omedetou Nino

Moved in here in dreamwidth & decided that maybe I will start posting again about my favorite boys (AMNOS) & group Arashi. My last post was 3 yrs ago & it's about Jun's drama Shitsuren Chocolatier & after a while I'll be posting Jun's movie Narratage. Just saw today the trailer of the movie & my initial reaction was OMG sexy & hot Jun especially the shower scene. I have a Japan trip this fall & I'm looking forward to watch this movie as well as Nino's movie.

                Lately J-web was available already in 5 languages including English and that's why for 315yen I subscribed it right away. I'm so happy that I get updated report such as during the 24 hrs TV, their schedule for TV appearances, their messages during the show. I can also read their monthly translated web journal just like J's " latest "Enjoy", which he update every 30th of the month just like yesterday timing for his b-day. I'm sharing the translated latest entry of it, he talked about 24hrs TV, his movie, his b-day and upcoming Arafes. Here's the screencap i took.

           

       Happy 17th birthday Anniversary in Johnny Entertainment Ninomiya! OMEDETOU!!!

               

                         Today, the 24 hrs TV charity t-shirt design was revealed. It's a collaboration between Kusama Yayoi and Ohno Satoshi. It's a flower design and different drawings with Kusama-sensei and Oh-chan signature in front and lots of hearts design with "Love Forever" words at the back. It is available in 4 colors that represent 4 season of Japan; white (winter), pink (spring), blue (summer) and yellow (autumn). I like the design especially the back part, the heart with "Love Forever" and I'm getting the blue and yellow t-shirt for this year.

                                  Lots of news came out about Arashi this week. First was their new bangumi, a Fuji TV special show for 2 consecutive weeks July 13 at 11:30PM and July 20 at 11:40 entitled "Atarashi Arashi" which they will collaborate with young directors. Each members has a theme; for Oh-chan it's "mischief"; Sho-kun project to make new friends; Aiba-chan about gourmet tour all over Japan; Nino-san does short comedy skit w/ 2 female comedians and Matsujun does challenges under ultimate pressures. This is a project that we must look forward to, i guess we'll see another side of our beloved boys. I'm excited for it already so mark your calendar for this dates.

                                               

                                    Another news that came this morning was the announcement for 3rd consecutive year Arashi will held another Waku-Waku Gakkou this coming June 29 & 30 in Tokyo Dome and July 13 & 14 in Osaka Dome. Yes, our Arashi-sensei are back but the topics on what they'll be teaching are still unknown but for sure goods will be available soon. My wallet will be crying again for this boys thinking for the future activities just like 24hrs TV and concerts. So for now, i'll be starting to save for this things :-)

                                               

     Press conference was conducted by Fuji TV in Odaiba, Tokyo yesterday night for the campaign of Hana Arashi 2013 to promote programs of our boys. The shake cell phone isa an application for cell phones that Fji is promoting, this event is, as there was last year where they lit up the Tokyo Tower of 5 colors, lasting a month and were broadcast several programs, CM and special. This time it's a cherry tree, bearing the group name.

                             March 1 marks Music Station Super Idol SP with guessed PERFUME, AKB48, SMAP and ARASHI. During Mini Station the guessed line-up backstage and they were already having fun especially senpai (SMAP) and kouhai (ARASHI). A day before that I read news regarding the issues between both manager, and i'm just glad and hope that the relationship between the two group will not be affected since they are under the same agency. Looking back the performances, Perfume performed first (i always loved Chocolate Disco), followed by SMAP (i'm surprised that their song "Battery" is in English and upon hearing it, i do like it too). It's AKB48's turned though I'm not a fan of them but every time they performed they gave all out performances. Save the best for last .... i'm excited and curious since it' the first time they'll performed Calling and Breathless on TV. The long wait is over and it's their turned to performed and olaaaaaaaa, i was surprised the way they present their new single. They looked good in all black costume and as usual I really loved to see them danced a lot. And so I can say that their Calling made me Breathless :-)

                                                       Calling Performance

--- The next day I saw the PV full version of both songs and as expected they looked so cool and amazing, so proud of our boys ---

               Just saw SCP preview of Popcorn Live Tour and I'm really dying to see it on DVD. Hoping soon they'll announced this good news and I'm in saving mode again for this future release. I just loved O-chan choreography for 3 songs (if I'm not mistaken) and kyaaaaaaaaaaa they performed Super Fresh (one of my fave songs) which I think they never performed it in concerts (if Im not mistaken again, hehe)

Happy 30th birthday Aiba-shi. You've been through hard times earlier days of being in Arashi, you've been hospitalized but you didn't give up and  still be able to smile. Thank you for all the fun, laughter you bring into our life and being the mood maker of the group. Your smile, your bakaness, your personality is what makes me admired you as a person. Arashi will not be complete without you.....Miracle Boy...Midori Boy....Mirror Man.... Thanks for everything :-)
