hey there =)

I got here through floweranza, I think, and saw you have fic and interesting stuff posted here (Japanese studying people FTW). So is it ok if I friend you?

I'm Charlotte, from the Netherlands (20, Snake, Capricorn, blood type still needs to be tested XD). Full-time student of Japanese, and brainwashed by a friend into Arashi fandom, and separately by another friend into KAT-TUN fandom. And then all was lost. I'm also going to Japan for a couple of months soon, will be studying in Kyoto and then travelling about.

yoroshiku onegaishimasu! =D

Absolutely okay! I'm always happy to find someone else who's into BOTH Arashi and KAT-TUN. They seem to be so mutually exclusive these days... :/

For my jikoshokai: I'm Alex, from Australia, living in China, 25, Rat, Virgo, blood type O! :D I work, but work is boring, and in my spare time I study Japanese, try to keep up with my Chinese, and generally muck about with the internet. Into Arashi and KAT-TUN, but my first love was Ikuta Toma and I'm currently giving all the sempai bands the once-over. I've been to Japan once, last month, to see Arashi at Tokyo Dome, and I want to go again!

Yoroshiku! :D

[lottiechan]

yey!

I know :\ but I think I just like the fail (and win) of both of them. XD. I've been into several asian boybands somehow, but most of them were Korean XD Then something happened at my study, me and some friends took up Real Face as our motto to keep going, and the summer after that I suddenly found myself also liking Arashi, and everybody went "wtf is wrong with you", which I thought was kind of funny really XD

I'm going to Japan from end of march till end of august, and I have no clue if Arashi even has concerts around that time, but I also don't think I'm able to afford going there, which all kinds of sucks. (you wouldn't be able to tell me if they have concerts then and how much it costs? =D )
how was the concert last month?? =O

[littlealex]

I mean, sure. KAT-TUN and Arashi are polar opposites in terms of their band image, but there's SO much to love about both of them. Arashi, I get this warm and loving feeling from; KAT-TUN, I get this "let's try hard to make this work despite our differences" feeling. Both are valid, and interesting, and entertaining, so I don't see why everyone feels like they should be mutually exclusive.

I don't know if Arashi's got anything lined up, but the concert I went to was Y9000. That was a legitimately-bought fan club ticket that hit at the ballots. Others, I don't really know much about but I do know that unless you are super unlucky, nobody will really check your ticket. You just have to be prepared to live with the risk. ;)

The concert was brilliant! I wrote it up over here.

[lottiechan]

One of the reasons I'm so interested is because they're so different (that, and Arashi are so easy to figure out how they work, whereas nobody seems to really get kat-tun XDD). But they both have their own chemistry together, their own way of doing things, their own styles, and I don't see why you should love just one of them. But then again, considering the amount of different types of music I have, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I love both XD.

9000 yen? *calculates* that's way cheaper than I've heard! woooh! I've heard people say their tickets are way over 100 euros, but 9000 is about 70-ish, apparantly, yey! (sorry, even though I'm going to Japan for almost half a year, I can still only work in euros in my mind, I just don't seem to get other valuta XD)

[littlealex]

haha see, for me the music has always been the last point of interest. i was interested in them for acting first, variety shows second, and then music last (which i often still dislike, haha). but i love their images; it's what makes them different and interesting and appealing, no matter what their music or their true selves say.

9000 for a proper ticket from a friend who was in the fanclub not looking to make any money off it. anyone else will sell it to you for much higher, knock-off or not. so be careful buying auctioned ones. it's not hard to buy legit ones, you just have to be willing to cough up. ;)
