So I haven't been active in the Arashi/Johnny's fandom in about 6 years now. I lived in Japan from 2007-2010 and accumulated a lot of stuff, mostly books and magazines, and it's time to make space for other things. I was thinking of trying eBay but I figured it'd be better to go private sale this way and find these things good loving homes ( Read more... )

Read an article on Smashing Magazine today about commenting, or lack there of these days. It's gear towards web design sites, but I've noticed a similar trend in fic comments. Have a gander if you've got time.

Where have all the comments gone?

PS. If anyone knows of any software/site that makes nifty and easy timelines, I'd be much obliged.

Today was Johnny's Mail Day at my house.  My anniversary present came: it's smaller than I thought but so cute.  Tickets also came!!  We're on the 3rd baseline and pretty near the back of the dome, but we're halfway up the front block.  It's going to be great!

So here are all the TV shows, radio programs, commercial campaigns and ( Read more... )

Take leftover chicken, rice and kimchi. Fry it all up, season with some ketchup. Fry up an egg and tada! Kimchi omuraisu. I still have some cheddar so I threw some of that in as well. So delicious. I think even Andrew could eat this, it's hardly spicy at all ( Read more... )

Here's the cross-talk from the FC bulletin this month. I'm going to do last month's one next.

The new issue of the fan club pamphlete came in the mail today. I bring you Aiba's 100Q! It was so much faster than last time since I already had the questions translated. Does anyone know where I can find AU/Docomo emoji gifs? Much appreciated. I also made some edits to Nino's 100Q and fixed some mistakes I found. Aiba's interview was at ( Read more... )
