Just read a ton of kokuritsu con reports and watched some tv news reports, and the overwhelming urge is to cry. To say I am touched, really, the feeling that the heart is like an over-ripe fruit, bursting at the seams, pulpy flesh and soft and leaking juice, ready to split right open with the slightest touch, so heavy and mushy.
The sort of dizzy, heady desperate desire to want to be there, that surge of pride, pleasure and inclination to make impassioned speeches about being an Arashi fan...until I realise my bottom lip has imprints of my two front teeth. No, you can't survive on love alone, so it goes, but the adrenaline shot from it does wipe clean hunger, appetite, and a whole host of other bodily system functions.
Aiba's new drama, on the other hand, makes me want to sigh delightfully and chortle and giggle and it's just mirth, so much of it. And will I never stop proclaiming, finally, finally. There was some sort of merry flailing with a few Aiba fangirls some days ago and finally, finally just came up so many times, but all that encompassed within that one loaded word, a whole universe of longing and waiting and wishes on candles and shooting stars coming true amid utter disbelief. Like the one fan who announced, with giddy joy and tongue in cheek, I don't want to hear about the zoo anymore!
To celebrate I tried to make icons of the Friendship performance in the Time concert, because that solo is possibly the one thing that makes my world right again, but taking screenshots of certain expressions turned out to be near impossible because Aiba doesn't stop moving, not even when I slow the video down and pause it frame by frame. All I get are fuzzy images, so I have decided to go with the renowned Aiba grin. It has therapeutic properties and healing effects for some, and how fortunately, it does works on me. That is a joyous thing, indeed.
Edit: It is also MatsuJun's birthday now~ Happy Birthday! I wonder what the guys will do during the con...^^
