[Arashi rabu rabu ahead]
Hi, everyone - or whoever's reading. :)
I can't remember who I added as friend because I've been away for so long, but my recent reconnection with 嵐 made me come back to LJ, after years of busy being an adult.
Looking back, 嵐 was my safe place, a place where all my problems and worries are put away for the time being.
I wasn't active back when 嵐 celebrated their 15-year anniversary (I was in my early years of undergrad), but just not too long ago I was bawling my eyes out watching their Hawaii concert (you know which part - *cough* Oh-chan *cough*).
Seeing them getting a little bit wiser, a little bit more mellow, is bittersweet. I feel as though I've been missing a huge part of their lives post 5x10, and I was genuinely shocked that next year will be their 20th anniversary! マジですか??? Like WHAT THE HECK?
Anyway,
I'm close to graduating soon, and my emotions are a mess, so much so that I cry after having watched one of their concerts (my last one was 5x10, can you believe it??? Adulting sucks). I wish I can personally thank them for being there for me, although the're doing nothing but their jobs and just sticking together after all these years.
2019 is going to be bittersweet. I'll be starting a professional job, moving on with life, and so will 嵐 (I'm legit tearing up, wtf?). I hope for great things for everyone, and no matter what happens from here on, I'll always remember my first J-Pop love, more than 10 years ago :')
