flsdjflsdfj one more update about AAA AND THEN I AM DONE, I SWEAR. ...PROBABLY.
TAIPEI DIGEST IS AMAZING FOR TWO VERY SPECIFIC REASONS:
This is Arashi, post-con backstage, shirtless. Backstage. One room. Did I mention they are shirtless and sweaty and adrenaline-pumped from the concert? And also they are shirtless? TOGETHER? IN ONE ROOM? WITHOUT THEIR SHIRTS? AND THEY ARE SWEATY? DID I MENTION THAT YET? GUYS?
SEX AND SUSTENANCE. I LOVE YOU, ARASHI. ♥ ♥ ♥
ALSO TAIPEI CON ITSELF khjfksdfjslj OH MY GOD.
Cool & Soul (youtube) (download) -- THE COOLEST PERFORMANCE. EVER. They get on a table. And check out 2:53 for Ohno rapping and sounding really hot, goddamn him.
Blue (youtube) (download) -- so their outfits aren't supposed to be hot, but considering they appear after an hour's worth of swishy sparkles and rainbows, my first thought was totally "yes! clothes I can be attracted to!"
Then they shed the jackets and revealed shirts made entirely of frilly, flowered lace.
Oh, Arashi. *__*
The crowd doing A-ra-shi, plus like, two seconds of singing that went straight to my loins, thank you very much Captain.
Wish (youtube) (download) -- from their first encore (out of three), THEY ARE UTTER DORKS, at one point Ohno is feet away from the crowd and his smiley :DV sends a girl into the arms of someone who I'm assuming is her mother. IT IS SO AWESOME.

SOMETIMES I WORRY I LOVE ARASHI TOO MUCH. I mean, I fangirl all jpop without reservation or shame, but my great big dorky flailing love for Arashi is SO HAPPY and SO MASSIVE I feel like one day it's going to claw out of my face and leech onto random strangers.
ARASHIIII. ♥ ♥ ♥
