Happy 17 to the most wonderful group of guys on this planet!

So this post is really late, considering it's already the 16th in Japan.  But where I am, it's only 8pm on Sept 15th so TECHNICALLY I'm right on time. LOL

It's Arashi's 17th year since their debut.  Unlike most Arashians, I haven't been following them very long.  As an Arashian, I'm not even a year old.  I consider my joining LJ and looking up Arashi sub comms as my official start.  Sure I knew about Arashi back in 2000, I was in Japan teaching English for a few months.  I even bought their single Typhoon Generation.  I loved listening to it, as well as Asu ni Mukatte Hoero.  But I was not an Arashian.  Definitely not a good fan.  After a while, I completely forgot about them.

I live in the US.  It's hard to follow non-US media here.  Remember this was back in 2000 and back then, it was practically impossible to know what was happening with the rest of the world, except for negative news.  I can't recall if the internet was a factor at all, because if it was, maybe I could've followed them...but I didn't.  I'm making all kinds of excuses but the simple fact is I forgot about Arashi and I regret it.


For me, Life happened.  But I don't regret that part at all.  My life took me on a different path after I left Japan.

But whatever happened since, I have found these precious guys again and I won't ever stop being their fan.  A fan who loves these 5 silly and perfect boys who bring her so much happiness and joy just by being themselves.  To the person who uploaded a fan video about Arashi on youtube, thank you for guiding me back.  To the subbing communities that I was allowed to join, thank you for sharing Arashi rainbows with me.  To Arashi, you have my heart.
