More Shitsuren Chololatier/Hey!x3/fandom related thoughts...  
I think I need more than several 140 characters posts to express myself... Definitely journal posts are way better for that... At least thoughts flow better (at least in my case)

I'm still in a post-Shitsuren Chocolatier flailing mood. I'm still really excited but I am keeping it to myself. It's that feeling of not wanting anybody to burst my bubble... Not sure it makes sense. I really love the first episode and my over active imagination has this little plot about how I'd like things to develop (won't last too much as the manga is around there and I'm checking it out) that I want to enjoy for a little longer, maybe until VSA tomorrow XDD

Shouta is so cute it hurts!!!

I wonder how J feels about episode 1 final result. Hope he is proud of it! Rating was 14,4% for what I've been told, which is good... But really doesn't leave a lot of room for decreasing right? I hope people keep being loyal to it. I wish those not living in Japan and watching counted *pout* You are doing great J!!

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to get to OST. Today saw a link to 7net shop that says that they will release it on February 26. So far, cdjapan/yesasia don't have it listed yet, but Amazon JP does have it: HERE So those using Amazon JP can already pre-order it. I'm really considering doing so myself...

Now, several other things I've been thinking/flailing/wondering about.

Ohno's crush on Satomi. Oh gosh, probably it's me seeing things where they aren't but, have you noticed how during Hey!Hey!Hey! they asked him to choose the person asking their question first, and he had two beautiful well known girls, Satomi and Rola, but he chose Satomi!!! XDD That moment made me lol big time! and I was telling speaking aloud to Riida, telling him that he shouldn't be that obvious or if the wants to, he should just take a step and do something about that cute crush! They would be adorable, don't you think? Well, at least I do XDD

I know some may say that it was good to start with her for Chocolatier promotion... but wouldn't it be better if she was the last one, following that line of thought? I dunno. I think he couldn't resist himself...

Also, I keep thinking that Aiba was the cutest thing ever during Hey!Hey!Hey!. when Sho admitted that he would date him when Aiba said he couldn't date Sho. He was blushing big time!!! I wonder why... was he really caught out guard by Sho's words, was he feeling awful because of the outcome... Because when Nino says that he wouldn't date Aiba, I bet Aiba was expecting that, since well, Aiba knows Nino as well as he knows himself, I bet... but he didn't expect that Sho said that and was so cute while saying it XD oohhh the feelings!

Also, also... I got annoyed by the Downtown guy next to Jun. Did you notice how many times he was slapping Jun's leg? That type of thing bothers me so much!!!! I imagine that in Jun's head there was this image of himself standing up and just punching the guy XDD The guy also dared to slap him on the head too... and J being the nice boy he is with that 'I am not really amused but have to look like I am' smile plastered on his face Lol!!

I would have kissed J when the guy asked if he chose Aiba because he is 'baka' and Jun said that he was wrong several times, that it was because he is a clear/shining person... *applauses and bravos to J* (the camera was on Aiba at that point, and I like that he smiled nicely to J) Junba was so very cute!!!!! --> you two can move together only if you allow Sho and Nino to be there most of the time XD (Riida would be probably fishing or enjoying his hamaka, or that floating houses it seems he is checking - not sure what that rumor is about)

Oh, that reminds me. I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF SAKUMOTO LATELY. But I have this tendency to think the worst... So I wonder... could it be possible that JE saw/realized that sakumoto is a growing in popularity pair and suggested them both that they should be nicer/closer to each other... Because it's too good to be true!!! ~ ~ ❤

Bittersweet already grew on me and I already love it! Hope it happens the same with Road to Glory because for now, I am not really feeling it... :S I am so curious about the cd cover and photo shoot about it!!! Oh, that means more shop photos!!! nooooo! yesssss! (mixed feelings there because I want them all, but not sure when to buy them...)

They were really cute in the performance but I lol-ed so much when I saw a photoshop-ed image of them in that triangle like formation with a bonfire in front of them!!! Really!! LMAO!!

So, there are rumors of fans complaining to FujiTV for the bath scene with Kiko and all that. That is... so TIRING! I really wish fans in Japan would behave more, I don't know... normal? less pathologically clingy/jealous? I dunno really! Don't they realize that Arashi interacts/are touched by lots of people daily?! Those doing their make up/wardrobe people/dentist/stylist... I mean, come on!!! And they realize also that probably J and Kiko are both with swimming trunks/suits or something right? At least in their lower parts...

But if Fuji changes things because of fans, they will be the ones to blame. Since when that is the way to go? Now they are asking that, next time what?! In that sense, I'm kind of glad that JE doesn't accept all that fans say around (although they are already doing enough, not allowing them to date/marry/have kids) Oh, all those gray areas made me feel really 'blah' and disappointed in how things are in Japan entertainment/Arashi fandom.

Speaking of Arashi fandom. Let me say this: Yes, it's rainbow land, and yes, in general I am happy being part of the fandom... But sometimes, fans behaviour disappoints me and makes me go 'wth!' more than before, really... :S and it's just in terms on manners... I wonder, really what their parents taught them in that department :S

I had more things to say, but I can't remember now and this is long enough ;)

I have a LOT of comments to you now XD

1. the Ohno-Satomi-story is something going on for a while~ BUT I think he got rejected before... when she came to VS as a plus one the atmosphere was clearly awkward from the beginning
I have so many feels for Oh-chan in this *pats and snuggles him*

2. Aiba, Sakuraiba, Junba - could something be sweeter than that?! and what a lovely person Aiba is & how lovely Sho & J are reacting to him *kyyuuuuu~te*
and he's gorgeous with his black hair!!

3. Hamada, the touchy Downtown-guy - I was reading up on him, since I really wondered about his touchy interaction with J (b/w J was touchy with him as well! which made me O_O) - Hamada is labelled DoS No.1 in entertainment business & slapping peaople n the head is one of his tradmarks~ (you can find stuff about this on wikipedia, even the english version) so, I guess J knew about this going to happen before... still... I am curious - are they friends in private?

4. the Kiko-J - bath-scene... I was wondering about this weirdness as well~ fandom or "fans" are sometimes really tiring and embarrassing! -.-

5. Ohno talked about those floating houses on his radio last week when somebody wrote in about it & how he like to have more infos send to him from readers that's a clearly exaggerated story...

what else? hm, can't remember right now... :P

1. Ohhh poor thing was rejected!? Oh Riida!! Still think they do a nice couple, Riida and Satomi... If not, I don't know why, but Aiba and her should work together...

2. Aiba is making me have so many feelings lately... Just can't...

3. I know the guy and all, but I wonder too, because J is not a touchy person, so Nino or Aiba would have been better at the guy's side. I guess he being promoting made him seat there, but my delusional head thinks that maybe it was so Sho didn't have to deal with it, as Sho isn't a touchy person either :S ;) *delusional sakumoto mode on*

I wonder if maybe J is friends with the guy, yes. J has lost of friends in entertainment, right?

5. I bet if he got one of those houses crazy fans would try to find out where and also buy the ones close by... *scary*

I have SO many Arashi feels right now: Aiba, Riida, J & Sho... the only one out of feelings is Neen.... toosnarky recently hm, but maybe he has it hard? ahh~ feels..

for me it looked like J & this Hamada-guy are friends

wa, I hadn't think about fans may be creepy enough to stalk like this... I think I am not able to think in such creepy way -.-

Here because noticing the Sakumoto at your post :3
I, myself still in hey!x3 performance mood, well to be specific in Bittersweet performance mood.
I CAN'T HELP myself to think that bittersweet lyric really picturing Jun's feeling toward Sho. And for the drama itself is about one side love *kind of*, it's just make me think that Souta character didn't really different from Jun.

Then I found this in my fb timeline:
“I wish you would hurt me even deeper, speak with even harsher words, and knock me down until I can’t recover. That way, I would definitely be able to hate you and put an end to this love… but the pain you give is always never enough.”— Sota Koyurugi, Shitsuren Chocolatier

For some reason, it's just screaming SAKUMOTO for me..

Urgh,,forgive me for suddenly comment at your post and babbling about Sakumoto...
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on January 15th, 2014 01:38 pm (UTC)
SAKUMOTO thoughts are always ALWAYS welcome here!!!! lol!!

Forgive me that I think the lyrics fit the plot of the drama more, because I think SAKUMOTO are in good terms, at least for now!! I just wish a bit more of closeness/touching and I will be incredibly happy! I'm already delighted of all the sakumoto displayed lately XD
[identity profile] dekkawai.livejournal.com on January 15th, 2014 11:35 pm (UTC)
Haha, you're right. They're seems closer lately :3
Maybe it is just me and my mood.
My friend said that we can hope for Sakumoto hug this year, but I'm more on the side of they can FINALLY see each other eye to eye. At least more than 15 secs? Hoho...

I saw Chocolatier, I saw the kiss, but I skipped the advertising parts, so, I guess because of this, I have not seen the bathtub scene.

I don't know what kind of fans are those who don't want certain scenes, but I don't think they are true fans, because they would have seen Tokyo Towers where the sex scenes were much, much, much more extreme

I'm sorry for the actresses who have to work with Jun, Satomi, Kiko, Juri, all they have to deal with the comparison with Mao, I think it's difficult. They are good actresses, very nice, they should be appreciated for this

So, I think J did well during Hey3 performance, to say I love to Satomi, it was like taking stock of the situation.

The nice thing was Ohno, behind Jun, which showed 4 to Nino, to indicate the four years between Shouta and Saeko.

Sometimes I get the impression that all four Arashi are jealous of the actresses who work with Jun

I think that , even for these comments , they are afraid to speak about their private lives , they fear that they might hurt their partner.

Jun will be the first to marry . When they asked this in Hey3 , though Jun has refused , the look of Sho , Aiba and Nino was eloquent
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on January 15th, 2014 01:45 pm (UTC)
I still find hard to believe that all J fans want him with Mao. I don't really think abt her at all!! Probably because I am not a Maotsujun fan... I just don't see it there.

I will be the first totally in shock if JunxMao are real. Not because I don't like her, I do like her a lot and they make a nice couple, but if it's real, I have to say that both are very good actors, but I just simply don't see it!

I don't see it either between JunxKiko at all, but well, maybe I am not looking properly or don't notice the clues, if there are any...

I will have to check the performance again to watch the moment you mention. I found J being really cute in that moment, but when he did Natsuniji, he was same gentleman-like with Yuko Takeuchi and in a bit less direct way with Ueno Yuri. That is J, he is a gentleman with the actress he is partnered with (at least on screen) Sho is that way too, but in a more subdued way, because otherwise he looks awkward, meanwhile in J's case just flows naturally!

Of course, if they have a partner in real life, they won't tell, at least not now, they are too popular and some fans have gone round the bend (are crazy).

The delusional maotsujun are on tumblr especially.
I know that Jun is a gentleman with his actresses, and I really like Yuko Takeuchi, I would like another drama with the two of them

Just dropping by to say that yes! Finally someone who had the same thoughts as me! That was tee exact same thing that went through my mind when riida chose satomi-chan during heyheyhey >.<
Yikes, about the bathroom scene, im totally looking forward to it. Pretty much amused by the photoshopped images of that scene with arashi heads popping out at the window. But i feel so bad for kiko since the comments from some fans are really terrible, at least from what i read when i was stalking weibo...

Hiii!!


Oh, the whole thing gave me major Junba feelings. I don't know if you remember the Shiyagare SP last year where they were sitting on a round table with some comedians and they practically forced AIba to do some stupid gag and it was so obvious that he felt humiliated and hurt? Anyway, I am sooo glad that Jun didn't go along with the Aiba = stupid thing that they like to throw out. I don't ship them for anything but a BrOTP but yeah, it made me super super happy.

I really liked the Bittersweet Choreo and if Ohno really did it all himself, I am impressed. :)

I still haven't seen the drama yet but on tumblr people are very unhappy with it, because Jun's character seems to be super clingy and also a bit of a dick? But I am kind of okay with that, if they add in some humour and more kissing. (Can you tell that the only thing I'd complain about is that Jun isn't in a bathtub/shower all the time? Japan and me, we have different priorities...)
