For some reason I really didn't feel like posting anything since last week. But since my last post, I've seen lots of (Arashi) videos!
I swear I'm almost overdosing on Arashi right now. It's like "Eito? Who are they?" >.< From GnA to AnS to Arashi on Utaban to their concerts, it's Arashi all the way lately! O.o
I did watch Eito's Heat Up! concert this weekend, after watching Arashi Around Asia 2008, and... unbelievably, I think I enjoyed AAA more?!!?! O.o Nani kore?!
But still, I won't give up on my Eito. Tacchon's still my ichiban (though I have a sneaking suspicion about Sho-kun >.> and I would never have expected this Riida!!! O.o) and Ryo-chan is still my ni-ban.
(On the other hand, every time I type the word "still", Arashi's song "Still" plays in my head. >.> Isn't that a bad sign? x.x )
===
Anyway, I've never watched a full Arashi concert DVD before. This one is the first and only one I've watched so far, but it definitely won't be the last!!! ^___^
I do wish Arashi's definition of "Around Asia" would include the Philippines. I swear I, the very kuripot Yna-chan who hates spending money, will shell out good money to see Arashi!!! If it's true that MatsuJun's coming over here sometime for his drama, I'm definitely going wherever he'll be~! <3333
(As long as it's on the same island or on an island nearby, that is. I can't go to Mindanao or something at a moment's notice! x.x And please, not Holy Week or the week after that. Any date after that, I'm totally fine. XD )
- First of all, I'm surprised I knew many of the songs. I'm not sure how many songs they performed, but I didn't know about 6 of the songs plus the solos. The rest of the time I was singing and attempting to dance along. ^___^ Arashi~ Arashi~ for dream~! <3
And for some reason, I only snapped out of my daze and remembered to take screencaps during the second half. XD I had to go back and take a few from the first half as well. ;D
- Right now, Riida's solo is stuck in my head. I love his voice~ <3
I wasn't so sure how to react to Riida's costume. At first, I thought the gold top looked like a blouse I have. XD
And then! The shiny pants!!!
- Nino with the piano!
I have a confession: I hate envy guys who can play the piano.
- The Arashi Wave thing was cool~!! But of course, screencaps don't capture it. And since I can't make a gif right now, I didn't bother.
- Carnival Night - wow the confetti! O.o
- Whatever this song was, it was so cool~!!!
Edit: It's Re(mark)able, thanks
sakuramushy27 for reminding me! XD
- The moment I saw Arashi in pink suits... *snicker* I just HAD to take screencaps. >D
I want to make an icon out of this screencap! With a (possible) caption: "REAL" men wear pink *chortle*
- One Love~! I expected them to be in white suits or something, but ok... I took these because they're so full of Arashi love.
Such closeness! XD
- I LOVE fountain endings!!! <3333 And this concert actually started with fountains, too, but...well, they didn't look as spectacular in the afternoon light.
And you can even see the buildings in the background! Cool~!! ^___^
- Ohno diving into the tank filled with water! XD His facial expressions were priceless. >D
poor Riida, shivering in the cold after that dunk. >D
- I love the scene where MatsuJun gave his mic to Riida when Riida's mic wasn't working~!!! And when it was MatsuJun's turn to sing....
awww, isn't that sweet? (~.^)
- And before I started watching tons and tons of Arashi shows and videos, I never understood why there was a pairing called OhMiya. Now I totally get it.
How can anyone not notice it when it's plastered on the huge screens during the concert/s?!

uwaaaah, I heard Pink's "So What" in the background of AnS ep121~!!!! and I wonder why I'm getting so excited over that... >.>
That reminds me... does anyone know what the title of the opening theme for AnS is? I feel like I should know it, but it slipped from my memory. >.>
I really should make an Arashi icon...and a smiling!Ryo one, while I'm at it. (>.<)

Oh, just to show that I didn't forget my Eito...
JUST ONE screenshot of Tacchon from the Heat Up! concert:
Kawaii deshou? o(>.<)o
And Ryo-chan played the harmonica during the Onigishi performance? Hmmm... somehow I didn't expect that...
