Hello peeps. Long time no see.
You've probably already heard of what happened/is going on in China right now. I've been watching the news since the 13th, which is the day right after it happened. Since we get Chinese channels at home, I've basically been watching the live coverage all day.
Thankfully I don't have any family or friends in Sichuan, the province where it hit the hardest, but this is sort of my first time going through something like this. Sure there was the flood back in 1998, then 911, then SARS and all, but I think I've just become mentally mature enough to understand what a disaster actually means. On the one hand, it's so hard to watch the news when there's really nothing much I could do, and what I see and hear have managed to have me crying almost every day; on the other hand, I want to know what's going on, and am desperately waiting for any good news at all.
So I haven't exactly been in the mood to fangirl over 8. But every now and then I try to read a bit about them, and fortunately eito always manages to bring a smile to my face.
So today I feel a lot better, and it's already their second day at Fukuoka, also the last day of the spring tour. And what's this Monster Hunter team that eito is forming??? YOKOYAMA KIMITAKA! You may be our Peter Pan but you are also the oldest in the group! And it's definitely NOT your responsibility to try to get everyone addicted to the same game!
Well, at least we know Okura wasn't badly hurt, seeing how he played MH with Yoko till 4am.
And when is Ryo ever gonna show at JaniBen?
