Ninomiya Kazunari's 28th Birthday Post
It's the 17th of June~
Nino's birthday =)
I had originally written a poem for him, entitled "I Love You, Ninomiya Kazunari", but before I knew it, it had become "I Love You, Arashi"..... XD
Since the poem is unavailable, I decided to do a simple write up instead, a small, heartfelt, something for our beloved powerhouse.
I finally watched Ooku the other day. It was mind blowing. Nino was a good actor. Maki Horikita and Shibasaki Kou were awesome as well. AST was awesome too, I wouldn't have loved the movie as much if it hadn't been for AST.
I thought Nino didn't fit into the movie, though..... I felt the same way about Horikita Maki and Shibasaki Kou. I felt that only Abe Sadao fit well. The other three didn't have that "sense of period" i guess, for lack of a better term. However, I applaud Nino in delivery. The feelings he displayed were raw. Super raw. Loved it! And speaking of love, the movie is heavy with it! I don't know, it might be the cinematography, the dialogues, the set, the music, or maybe just my imagination, but I felt alot of love between the characters.
I have a fetish for healthy looking people. The perfect example of that is Matsumoto Jun, and at times, Ohno. Nino doesn't look it, but he's actually surprisingly wholesome and.... delicious. That's where the attraction lies, you don't expect him to show beauty, strength and virility. When he does eventually, you fall in love with him instantly.
There are many kinds people in this world, some good, some bad. We run into equal numbers of both types. I don't know why, but sometimes, the run ins with the bad people have a bigger impact on us than the run ins with the good people. I'm lucky in the sense that I have amazing seniors at work to pump me back up. But they too, are human. When they're there, they're there. When they're not, they're not.
As an Arashi fangirl, these boys play a part in my life. How big, how significant, I can never tell. But when I experience a bad day at work, when my seniors and family are not available for me to seek comfort, these guys are always there, in my mind. They are, afterall, just a figment of my imagination, fashioned after five actual people who walk this earth. And since they are a part of me, the knw exactly what to say at the right time.
Their songs play a part in picking me up as well. On days when I feel like quitting, there are songs and dramas that always help me.
Firstly, Sketch. I can't remember how many times I've mentioned this song on this blog, but thats how much of an impact it's had on my life. It made me feel loved and made me love more as well. It's also the song that cemented my feet in the fandom =)
Secondly, Matsujun's Natsu Niji. I love that drama. The Matsujun who played the part in that drama was an amazing actor in it. I feel inspired when I watch him playing his role.
Thirdly, the songs written by Ninomiya. You can find them all over YouTube. If you're ucky, you can find the lyrics and translations too. His songs are some of the very few Arashi songs that actually make sense to me. The rest of their songs are amazing as well, with strong inlaid messages, but sadly I don't understand Japanese. And the transalations I find simply show several lines of pretty words put together. On their own, they are nice to hear, but put together, it becomes confusing. All of Nino's songs make sense when translated to English. Sketch is also one of Arashi's songs that make alot of sense when translated to English. So much of sense that you would be an idiot not to follow them.
Yesterday, 90% of my Nino fund had to be withdrawn. 5000 ringgit. *sigh* I almost gave up continuing this project. "ALMOST" =)
Thank you, Ninomiya Kazunari, for throwing wood into my fire when it almost died out.
