Life has been super busy lately, but I just wanted to wish everyone a super belated "Happy New Year!" and an early "Happy Lunar New Year!" Lunar New Year isn't for several weeks yet, but judging from my schedule so far, I'll probably won't be able to make timely well wishes. T_T ( Read more... )

I just listened to the radio leak of "Tokei Jikake no Umbrella" and I went O__o. I love, love, love the beginning (Ohno's voice! ridiculously catchy melody!), and I can't wait to hear the entire version. It sounds very different from "My Girl" and we have Sakurap again ( Read more... )

Gahhh, I heart instrumental arrangements of Arashi songs so much. I had so much fun trying to figure out which songs they were playing. I am such a dork. XD

Let's compare answers of what they're playing. <3

I've completely failed at transferring the pictures from my camera and uploading them, so the pictures promised in my last post will have to wait. In the mean time, I just had some thoughts about Arashi Challenge Week. They're organized in bullet forms because there's no logical flow, just my random thoughts.

I took my first REAL vacation in more than 2 years!  I headed up to Seattle, and we rented a car to go to Vancouver and Whistler in Canada.  My friend organized the entire trip so I basically just had to show up...my favorite kind of trips!  It was very outdoors focused....lots of hiking, biking, and all sorts of physical activities that leave a ( Read more... )

Someone just linked me to the an online store site that shows that the 5x10 song has different time lengths on the normal and the limited edition!

Normal Edition:  8:18  item.rakuten.co.jp/book/6107593/
Limited Edition:  5:28  item.rakuten.co.jp/book/6107592/

Does this mean a secret talk or a personal message to the fans from Arashi?  I'm not sure ( Read more... )

Thanks to the wonderful people at arashi_radio, I just heard the new 5x10 song!! At first, I told myself I wasn't going to download and listen because I wanted to wait for my album to arrive, but.....who am I kidding? I succumbed to temptation almost immediately. XD I'm weak when it comes to Arashi?

My iTunes library just shuffled and landed on Ohno's "Size" from his solo concert.  I've listened to this before (according to iTunes, the play count is currently at 441...I am a devoted Ohno fangirl!), but for some reason, this random thought just struck me today...Why was this song never ever released anywhere?!  It is just amazing.  Loved the ( Read more... )

Just watched Music Lovers, and I was so excited to see them perform Season!  That song is just pure love, and it's probably the main driving factor for my purchase of their single. XD  Can I just say one thing?  Ohno just killed me with how he just oh-so-casually sashayed his way back to the main stage with the other members, before he blew us away ( Read more... )
