ひさしぶりだな～♪
*Cough cough* dustballs! My LJ posting activity was never too great, but I have been particularly inactive these past few months...
I don't really have anything I can contribute to my favorite fandom nowadays sadly, so I remain mute in my own LJ, and just creep around everyone else's who're being nice and generous with subs and pictures and translations and other goodies. ^^
Here is a big THANK YOU to all of these lovely members!! Thank you for spreading Arashi love around the World!!! <3
Recently I obtained several droolworthy items related to Arashi, which all made me really happy!
1. Firstly I purchased my very first CD: Boku no miteiru fukei. I absolutely love love love this album to bits, and now I can listen to it in the car, not just through my ipod. ^^ And I realized that Aiba-chan's (Maa-kun's XD) solo really is Magical!!! I had a really sad day and I was sobbing in the car while driving home, and this solo came up. Surprisingly it made me feel better. I had to play it over and over again, because it actually calmed me down! It was really strange, especially since this was the one song from the CD that I didn't much like.
2. Then I got the Popolo 2011 Feb issue as a present from Japan, which has loads of pictures of Arashi looking cute and eating nabe XD Thank you Yuuka!!
3. Last but not least I hunted down and purchased the Arashi Asahi Shimbun with those cool manga-likeness pictures! Not the original newspaper price, but hey, I would never find it any other way. It has yet to arrive, but hopefully it will get here safe and sound and in good condition! *crosses fingers*
Other noteworthy happenings:
I watched the Arashi Concert DVD, and it was awesome. I was cracking up at Matsujun's act before his solo XD And at the stuff he was wearing in that solo XD XD Aiba-chan looked like a plushie in that hat! Oh-chan was かっこいい!! Nino was cute and that heart made me go aww XD Sho's solo...well, やっぱり too much clothes for that song, right? :D I didn't like that kiss on the screen right before the song. They really zoomed in on his hamster teeth XD
Bartender first episode: somehow I thought Aiba's character would be somewhat cooler. Someone like Hanazawa Rui form Hanadan, and not so goofy when not concentrating on his cocktails.... Oh well, it's more Aibappoi this way I guess. :) Plus we still get to see him shake that shaker! And his doubletake at the からだではらって part was really cute! XD I also liked the grandpa. And I'm really liking Kanjiya Shihori. I think she's acting well so far. I liked her before in Parade and Love Shuffle too, so I'm glad she gets to play the main female lead.
But the most amusing side-effect of the drama is all the promos in which Aiba is asked to make a cocktail for the show hosts XD He has a skill he can show off now!! Like Nino's magic tricks and that HSJ! member who is always asked to juggle. haha!!
