It has been so long since I've posted. Almost two years in fact.
So much has happened, and I'd like to share the important highlights.
1. Arashi's 20th year
I was able to attend their 5x20 concert during May this year. It was amazing.
Through my boyfriend's friend, I managed to join FC. From there, I tried to ballot for the concert in Sapporo and I hit it. On the day itself, despite all the worries of the identification, I managed to enter and when they issued my ticket and finally I get to see my seat, I actually got Arena seat. First concert, arena seat. WOW. As I was walking down Sapporo dome all the way to the arena seats, I had goosebumps all over, and overwhelmed by my feelings. My dream for almost 10 years came true. When the concert started, and the opening video started to show, my tears came out. I cried out of happiness and disbelief that I was actually there. Then, Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi played and Arashi came out. The whole show was amazing. It was exactly like watching the concert DVDs but this time, I am there to experience the ambience and see Arashi up close. Listen to Arashi singing live, was absolutely fantastic. I am glad to be a fan of theirs, and will do so.
On their debut anniversary, they announced their social media accounts, and ever since life has been full of excitement.
To be able to finally watch them on IG live is crazy. IG stories, love it, please share more. Finally after so long, I can feel connected to them.
Jetstorm; they went to Singapore, and I took a bus of 40 Malaysian fans as we head to see them. Despite, the slight bad experience because of the Singaporean organisers, to be able to see them again, even if I had to climb on rails was great. Furthermore, I was able to meet other fans that are just as enthusiastic as I am about them.
Despite Arashi's hiatus, they have in fact been pushing really hard to ensure that all of fans are able to reach them now. The amount of English they are trying to speak now, really makes me appreciate their effort, and I am truly grateful for the love they are sending over, as much as I hope they feel all of our love.
2. Finally working
After being unemployed for nearly 3 years, I finally got work. I had to move countries, but ever since work started, I've been gaining various experiences, in work and socially. The number of people I have to meet, and get to know has increase multiple folds. I can feel my self-development and I really like it. Furthermore, I get to learn more and increase my understanding which is what I enjoy. Really happy to be able to start working around here, although I do feel homesick from time to time.
Throughout all that has happened, my boyfriend had stick to me through thick and thin, and now he even moved over to a different country and had to find work here because of me. I'm truly grateful for him to always be with me. Love you so much.
I don't know when I'll be posting my next entry, but until then.
