Random musings on Arashi
I miss them. I've missed them.
I thoroughly enjoyed the AraFes concert DVD, probably because it's been so long since I've seen the boys shine in their natural state. Some of you might disagree, I'm sure, but I haven't seen that in their latest TV shows. Things actually feel scripted in recent episodes to me - like an episode of that Share House Arashi segment where Sho and Ohno come out of the same room, and Sho loudly laments that they're "creating a misunderstanding"; as much as I adore Yama pair, I'm not sold, Himitsu, not sold at all - so I can never hold back that rush of disappointment. I'd like to think it's not the boys, but more the fact that they're now the "nation's little brothers", they're on Golden Time, and TV stations have their own idea of how things should go.
Then I see them in AraFes, and I think, YES those are the boys I've been missing.
Happy, carefree, doing utterly stupid things to each other, with each other.
I know I sound like a cranky old biddy reminiscing about the Good Ol' Days, but hell. Arashi produces the best rainbow shit when they're just allowed to be.
And now, I'mma listen to old secret talks and bask in the happy gay.
