More doodles, this time from my Vegas trip. First two drawn on the placemat at the Todai Las Vegas (God bless them for using butcher paper as placemats) and the last was drawn poolside at the Monte Carlo Las Vegas. You should know who's who by now. lol.

So August 4 was the release date of Arashi's newest CD, Boku no Miteiru Fukei. So far, it's gotten lots of different responses from exuberant to underwhelmed. Most people seem to enjoy it, though, so that's good. I don't know if it still justifies $50 for the CD, but the way I see it I'll buy it as a fan and just dl all their other shit. lol. This ( Read more... )

As it is June 17, and thus Nino's birthday (although it had long since turned to the 18th in Japan as I was writing this), I'd been wanting to write up a list of my favourite Nino roles/works/moments. There's no explanations yet, as I've got to get up early tomorrow... but I think it's more fun to guess why I chose them. (By the way, the top ten ( Read more... )

This may be a sign that I don't get out enough or am turning into an alcoholic but while wishing I could go out on the town with some friends (everyone else has got something going ion!) and reading a hilarious Arashi fanfic involving Arashi and KAT-TUN as rival frats (with special appearances by sorority sweetheart Becky; the members of TOKIO as ( Read more... )

This week is Arashi Challenge Week, where our boys appear on at least three NTV shows a day (and each one hosts a short segment on News Zero - although I don't know what they'll do for Sho, who goes last, as he is a regular presenter anyway). It's pretty epic, seeing Arashi crash a TV station for an entire week. I remember when I was a kid and some ( Read more... )

Finally found a fancam of "Ashita no Kioku," for which besides "A.Ra.Shi" in the plastic suits I have been avidly waiting ever since I read the Kokuritsu con reports. I... kind of want to die from the awwwwwness of it all. I would say cry, but I don't really know these people and I'm not that much of a fangirl to cry over strangers (except during ( Read more... )

Ten years ago, on a beautiful September day in Hawaii, five cute, gangly Japanese boys formally announced their debut as a group, proclaiming that they wanted to "create a storm throughout the world". Ten years, eleven albums, twelve shows, twenty-eight singles, nine awards, three movies (together - and countless more apart), scores of dramas, an ( Read more... )

Yes, I know that Arashi's tendencies do not necessarily point to their sexual proclivities, as stereotyped here in America; rainbows mean something different in Japan, and behind all the fanservice they're probably not gay except MatsuFab over there LOVE YOU GERL WERK IT!, but after three celeb deaths; two non-celeb deaths (one of them being my ( Read more... )
