History
I love Nino~!
I have been in the Arashi fandome since May 28, 2007. **I came up with this date because it's the date on the first picture of Nino I found and saved online. :)**
I found out about Arashi from Nino's Letters from Iwo Jima, and coincidentally a week or so after I saw the movie and did some research on the star actor Ninomiya Kazunari, Arashi was scheduled to perform "We can make it" on Music Station on NHK on my TV. (What are the chances of this though if you think about it?? Not only did I live in America, where I watch these shows a month or so after they've already aired, but the programs on the one Japanese channel our family got were very random, as in they didn't show every single Music Station show that they do in Japan; just every other one or so.) So I tuned in, and even though Matsujun's..unsteady..singing voice made me laugh in the beginning, I eventually fell in love with the group.
I've been to 2 Arashi concerts--
1) Arena seat - Dream-a-live tour in 2008 in Sapporo Dome. (Got close enough to touch Aiba, but was a good fan and didn't!~)
2) Stand (but technically I was in the Arena in the "エキサイトシート" seats) - Are You Happy? tour in 2016 in Tokyo Dome
**I also went to Nino's GANTZ premier in L.A. and sat front row and saw Nino and Matsuken extremely close! >< I saw myself in News Zero, as well as in the Nikkei Entertainment magazine featuring this event.
Next to Arashi, I've also become a big fan of Kis-My-Ft2. I notice I keep up with them more than I do Arashi these days. When I was learning more about Arashi in 2007, I looked into other Johnny's groups, and Kis-My-Ft2 was my favorite group out of all of the juniors. Although I was a fan of Fujigaya during his Jr days, I never paid any attention to the rest of the group, and really only thought a couple of their songs were catchy enough to add to my personal playlist ("Inori" and "Good-bye, Thank you"). But after I saw Ikemen desu ne back in 2011, I became a huge Tamamori fan and eventually a huge fan of the entire group.
I've been to Kis-My-Ft2's concert 21 times total, and BUSAIKU's concert once--

In the extras of the I SCREAM Concert DVD, I could see myself clearer!)
