Heh, so, I kind of got sick of my current computer set-up (i.e. I spend most of my time on a laptop too old to do anything) and needed to take a bit of a
sparklehole siesta. I have worked though it and although my computer situation hasn't changed yet, I have hope it will soon! Fingers crossed but until then, no more batsu games for me. :)
AND NOW, the long awaited, A.Ra.Shi! The cream of the goofy crop! The one song everyone in the audience is guaranteed to know and love! For some reason, I was drawn to the version from ONE this time. (Well, it might have been for a butt grabbing reason! ;D)

Tiki so so LET'S GO!
Such a happy little skip of a dance step from Neen. The thing I like about A.Ra.Shi is since everyone knows it, the boys feel free to only do it loosely and just use the song to play around. I could always use more Arashi playing around. :)
Happy Sho and his happy eyes!
Wooo, do it Arashi fans! I often dont really notice the crowds, as we have a fair share of distractions here I think, but they are awesome in this song.
I'm a big fan of the Matsumiya dance team.
AIBA. WITH YOUR BODY AND YOUR FACE AND YOUR ADORABLE PINK T-SHIRT WITH A SKELETON ON IT (!).
SHOOOOOO. How are you so precious? It's a question that can never be answered.
You really can't capture the crowd in stills, but they remind me of cilia here. Also, only Jun says "Super boy!", that's adorable.
Oh, Conducting Face Ohno! I have so much love for you. ♥
Matsujun and his legs, so irrepressible!
I love the trilling sounds Ohno was assigned to make here! They have continued to be entertaining these ten years!
Get ready for the chorus, people!
...Oh wait, it's a tank top. *fans self*
Matsujun gives so much hip and so much sultry smiling to his version of the choreography!
Arashi, you make me so happy. I can't even express how happy. ♥
Ahahaha! Careful, Sho-chan! :D
The Matsuboogie! My favorite form of his dance moves: dorky contortions!
It's fun looking at the song as how Johnny formed Arashi too, like "Sho is the rapper! Ohno sings 90% of everything! Throw some parts for Nino/Jun/Aiba in the background! PERFECT." Anyway what I'm saying is this is kind of Sho's show. XD
Aiiiiba, singing along to Sho's rap! Everyone knows that's the cool part to have. ♥
Take it, Oh-chan! Ohhhh you're cute. There is no way to avoid loving Ohno. ♥
Jun spotted a camera! Prepare for an onslaught of his love!
Today's Special: Dorky winking! ♥
I love when one person unexpectedly goes for a move, like Nino here. :)
Yes, this cap was taken because I like watching Ohno roll his tongue in his mouth while getting ready for the next syllable. Yes, it's true.
Greatness is coming. Sho knows it. Nino knows it. Ohno knows it.
Have I mentioned this is the greatest group ever? Sho's faaaaace.
LEADER MOLESTATION, START:
Sho invites you to follow along!
Look, although this is Nino's particular hobby, there's room enough to share!
Yes, that is Nino giving a very firm squeeze and Ohno jumping. All of this while singing. I love these people.
Ahahaha, they just love this part so much! Nino milked this moment as much as he possibly could! ARASHI, I COULD NOT BE ANY MORE ADORING OF YOU! :DDDDD ♥
BEST. HIS SQUISHY LITTLE FACE FULL OF LAUGHTER, FOR AT LEAST THE SAME LENGTH OF TIME AS HIS BUTT WAS GRABBED.
Ninoooo, so proud of himself!
CUTEST. We have smoothly rolled into nostalgic delight too! The chorus just makes them so happy nowadays!
Aiba, I see you grinning over there too! You're included in that "cutest" comment!
Okay actually it should say "cutest" under everyone at all times during this one!
Makiokose! Such a good part!
ARASHI ARASHI FOR DREAM! ♥♥♥
I'm not even sure why Neen is randomly adorable here but it set my heart aflutter! Suddenly the world is such a lovely place to be~
Jun, such a loser! ...Okay, it doesn't really make sense with the still but he does this so dorkily.
Tumbling! ♥
JOY
SHO. JUN'S ROCKING OUT HAIR.
Well, this is the song of just asking us to stare at their asses!
The swirly "put your right foot in" part! I love this part of the choreography, it might be my favorite!
And then Ohno does something with his hips and his face! I thought it was just me for a second, but then:
He struts away weirdly and kind of collides into Nino's space. XD
And Nino is there laughing too! So this was a universally good Ohno moment!
SO GOOD.
:DD SHOOOOOOO
His happiness just makes me beam and call him a loser and ruffle his hair.
What a rock star!
Ahahaha, Nino is so into this one!
So cute! So sweaty! So Aiba!
Ohno in a good mood is so irresistible! And squeezable. That too.
UGH OHNO, YOU'RE RUINING ME FOR OTHER PEOPLE! ♥
Sho and Aiba warm my heart!
While I love these caps because they makes me laugh. :DD
Sing us home, bb!
I love the "Hey!" I miss it when it's not live! :)
Eeeeee, audience participation is just what concerts are all about for them! So happy! Take it, audience!
Ohnoooooo~ The end is such an Ohno fest. Probably because the others don't have vocal parts. XD (Speaking of, I'm soooo glad they don't have to pretend to be the R&B chorus part in the background anymore!)
ARASHI, ARASHI, FOR DREEEEEAAAAM
HIS FACE. I LOVE HOW HE SMILE TURNS UP AN EXTRA BIT WHILE SINGING.
Goodbye for now, Ninoface! Good work!
See you next time, Fond Sho Eyes!
*wiggles fingers back*
*giggles* Such an appropriate parting shot! Goodbye, pretty sweaty Jun! You've worked hard for us!
(Zip of 237 Caps!) And
phrenk will be getting back into the swing of things with:
Koi wa Breakin'! New concert, woooo!
