Another Concert Picspam + mp3 Extravaganza! AAA Taipei. Enjoy!

[flange5]

I have conquered the Zoo, I-80, and 12 hours of rainy driving, and have returned safely to NJ, with most of my pride intact. This calls for a celebration. I bring you AAA Taipei:

Hi! I'm very glad you like my journal and said hello (^_^)/

♥♥♥♥♥

'Stalking' is fine! Though comments are wonderful, too. I'm honestly just glad someone is reading and likes it. It makes my day:) I really only got this journal about a month ago (my husband presented me with it in a vain attempt to stop me from always trying to convert him--but he's stuck watching hours of Arashi TV a week on my laptop anyway ^__^hee hee.

Anyway, you're very welcome to hang and be silent or to say hi and fangirl more actively with me. I lurked a lot only a month ago (and still do sometimes), and sometimes it's more comfortable, and if a journal isn't flocked, one should sort of expect it, right? Either is OK with me. Again, I just get happy that it's being read and enjoyed ^_^

I love that fic! And it actually made me sort of fonder of those costumes if you can believe it.

*goes back through Memories to read*

Though not the wigs. Dear God, no fic however wonderful, could make me love those wiges. THIS IS NOT A CHALLENGE,

[rhythmia]

Hee, well, Arashi (and awesome Arashi fans) bring me out of my lurkdom. :P That's cute that you're slowly converting your college friends. Mine are definitely in the 'rps is icky' camp, though I've made my brother a firm Arashi fan through a combination of the variety shows and various people's flailing comment/picspams and translations, like aatash's and nyanchan's and beckerbell's posts.

Hahaha the wigs. I didn't know until I saw How's It Going that the disco outfits had appeared before, though I saw a gif icon floating around with the whole wig ensemble. It was kinda awesome and sad that even though I didn't know if the colors matched up or not, and I couldn't see the faces, but I could tell who was who by their hip wiggles. DX? Dear God, no fic however wonderful, could make me love those wiges. THIS IS NOT A CHALLENGE, YOU GUYS. *snickers* ...I dunno, it certainly *sounds* like one. :D :D :D

[flange5]

I discovered the wig ensemble through a gif as well, I suspect it was the same one you saw. I didn't even have the presence of mind to try to sort out who was who . . . I was more like :O

:O

W.T.F.

And then I saw the actual concert, and it was even more cracked than I had thought. I'm glad I was already completely invested at that point, because . . . If that particular revelation had been first . . .

*shakes head*

whew.

Whatever moment are you talking about??

*shifty eyes*

[youkosiren]

Ahh, took Lucky Man~ ♥ Be-because the album version makes me sad (no squeaky Sho voice?!)

I really love the Taipei concert - they turn the dorkiness up to 11. The part at the beginning of Lucky Man is awesome because you see Nino mouthing along and really getting into Sho's 'WHAT'S UP PARTY PEOPLES' call, and then he and Ohno start poking Sho REALLY HARD.

Also, I loved how they were all wibbly and teary-eyed at the end XD; Why do I love Arashi tears so much? :\

[flange5]

AAA Taipei really is an awesome concert--and that Lucky Man is one of my favorite things in the history of favorite things. How they manage to combine dorkiness and hotness like that, I don't even know. I am a sucker for when they jump off the table ^^"

But you're right--there are songs from the concerts that I almost never listen to the album versions anymore . . . why go back?

Arashi tears are awesome because they're almost always happy tears&hearts

Thank you for commenting ^_^

[silverxrainx]

I like, kind of love you for this <3
I swear to god I laugh more at your posts than the actual concert LOL XD
This is epic, epic win XD
And LOL It too me VERY VERY long to get used to Johnny's outfits... My friends thought I was watching a CIRCUS when they saw Arashi's concert.
But I never knew that there was a full version of this concert
All I have is the version subbed by stormy_team:

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where is this version available? ( I can't even seem to find it on Johnny's net *fail*)

[flange5]

Hi

[silverxrainx]

HAHA XD aww you have such a supportive husband, watching them with you. I'm sure he secretly enjoys it all very VERY much ;D

Aaahh! So it was the limited edition version! Thanks soooo much
But man, I feel so stupid now. I've been using that site for quite abit but I never bothered downloading that concert. *bricked* I'm still so noob to the Arashi fandom >A<

Also, I hope you don't mind me adding you :P

[flange5]

*grins*

The Boy is pretty darned awesome&hearts I think I'll keep him. Luckily, he has a high tolerance of crack. Plus, I think he's enamored of OhMiya, and he kind of loves Sho. I can't get him to understand the genius and awesome of Aiba, but . . . I'm working on it little by little.

Yep; it's the limited edition. Don't feel bad about that; I bought the digest, thinking it was the whole concert, and not that long ago :P Now I look for the LE, and see it on ebay for, I am not kidding US $400 *___* I'm trying to be good and own everything, but . . . not so much.

And I've only been in the fandom a little over a year, so we can be noobish together ^_^

And friending is awesome ^_^ I don't mid at all!

*waves*

[gemmiesky]

HAHA.. about that Top Secret video footage... I think it took me watching it oh.. a good 50 times before I stopped getting all stupid squee over it.. now I sit and properly admire his attention to detail.. *cough*

[flange5]

Hee! I don't see these two activities as contradictory--after a while, we can do both at the same time--I can squee while doing just about anything now ^_^

[gemmiesky]

When rewatching last night, and I assure you that not a day goes by that I don't watch, at least once or twice, I realized that the enjoyment of Ohno doing that bellydance hip undulation is somehow one of the most innocently erotic things I have ever seen...and in honesty, you know.. how he raises his hands up and over his head and glances back over his shoulder is somehow hot. Extremely, hot...

Now if I could only find all the concerts subbed, just so I can see them once or 20 times while I'm gathering funds to buy them ^^

[soothing_sight]

Am downloading all there, but Matsujun's solo. *laughs*

Thanks so much for all the work! :D
