Minasan, ohayou gozaimasu!
Let's do a flashback today. I was re-reading some of my very old emails and I came across one where I had to post a comment in order to request to join one of the communities dedicated to Arashi's stuffs, the community does mostly translating what's in Japanese to English from their TV shows to the write-ups in the magazines, news and so on. So here's what I have posted back then on 21.11.2009, wow that's almost 6 years ago. Certainly brings back lots of great memories. :)
"Subject: Request to join the community
Hajimemashite! I am Yen or yuanomiyuki from Malaysia. Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
First of all, thank you so much for all the hard work. This certainly takes a lot of effort and time, and most of us are really thankful and appreciate the fact that there is a team of people who will take the trouble to translate and then putting everything together nicely so that people like me can enjoy and understand them.
For point number 1, I will definitely not do all the things listed above which we know are not supposed to be done. Whatever I download are purely for my own (mostly me), my 6 years old girl and her dad's entertainment. Yeah, I've successfully 'converted' them to love Arashi!^^ Yatta!! All downloads are strictly for personal use only and will definitely not be uploaded again, what's more, to sell? o.O I will not do evil thing such as this.
For point number 2, it has to be Hanadan! I've heard of Arashi before but never check them out until I've started watching Hanadan. That's when I thought, ok, let's take a look at this group called Arashi. Since then, there is no turning back and worst, I'm so stuck with Arashi that I've almost stopped listening to the others! Terrible, isn't it? Arashi's love is so strong! I will always remember the moment when I discovered that they will be screening Hana Yori Dango The Final movie here in Malaysia. We must be the only parents with a young kid in that whole cinema. The scene where Domyouji hugs Tsukushi in the water attracted lots of oohs and aahs from the audience. Matsujun is really good with love scenes…
Ever since Hanadan, I’ve searched and watched quite a number of dramas and movies by Matsujun as well as the other members. Mostly watched online at MYSOJU but the quality was not really good and I’ve stopped watching them there altogether. *sentence deleted to protect the community's privacy*
In less than 2 years, you can say that I’ve gone head over heels and overly crazy about Arashi. Luckily hubby is also on my side except that he is not crazy about Arashi but rather, enjoy watching their shows - VSA, MMA, HnA, AnS, concert (!), dramas, movies, etc. My daughter’s first love was Matsujun but now changed to Aiba. She just declared that few weeks ago, “Mummy, I think I like Aiba more.” ;)
I really hope that you will let us into your precious world.
Thank you for reading and making the consideration!
Best wishes,
yuanomiyuki"
That's all for today. Bye-bye! ^^
