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 do enjoy all the detectivesque stuff we do for the boys... They are so vague and secretive when they want! Also their management sometimes too... *sigh* But I do wish we could get more confirmation...

So, Ohno finally admitted he was in London and Paris with J. I still don't understand why J didn't mention he was with Riida in his Enjoy... but knowing J I bet it was because it's not for him to say... Now, I wonder if he did say that he went with Riida and Aiba to NY... Will have to track down that entry of Enjoy :S

Anyway, Riida was pretty careful about what he said which has led to a long discussion about what he did in both cities around twitter XDD

So they went to a concert. I guess that was in Paris. Although I've been trying to search for concerts that were held in Paris during the supposed days they went there... the only one that matches, if the dates are right, it's the Beyonce concert, as her concerts in Paris were on 24 and 25 April.

Btw, it may fit into what J likes in concerts. Check her tour promo video HERE.

He says it was 2 nights in Paris and 2 nights in London.

Riida says that both went to the Louvre but I inferred from Jun's Enjoy that he was by himself in London, to check Big Ben and Westminster... :/

And for what Riida says about him having to stay at the hotel, i guess that was the time when J went shopping (as fans' reports said)?

But it seems Ohno did have time to go with or without J to get some t-shirts for the members... If he went to the Beatles shop as he said, I want to cry! that is not far from my house!

Some fans think that while in London they should have checked the David Bowie exhibition being held at the V&A museum... They could, honestly, but I am sorry for the poor guy/woman who had to get the tickets for them... It's pretty sold out for pre-order/online tickets :S I haven't been able to go myself yet! *cries*

I wonder what that deadline and secretive stuff that had to be done at the hotel was... Oh I need to know!!!

(thank you to twosen for the translation of this morning's AD ;)

This rumor, so far, is confirmed as RUMOR... It seems the person who spread it apologized ¬¬

Now, it also seems that there is this rumor going around that Aiba is the one starring in the 24h tv drama... Not confirmed just yet... but if the rumors are true... I don't really know what to think. Part of me is happy because I am happy that Aiba gets more drama roles and the title I have seen around it's just too sweet and fits Aiba nicely... BUT, and it's a big but, if the rumors are true and it deals with lung illness, I don't really like it.

Maybe I am weird but I don't like when dramas link to things that happen in reality (Aiba and his lungs) so for me that is a bit tasteless, for a lack of another word...

Also, if rumors are right and O-chan is his doctor. Honestly, isn't that a consolation price for Riida?! I mean if I were a Ohno ichibaner I would be furious! Apart from the fact that I love Ohno's acting, but I doctor is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think about next Riida's acting job :S

Some said something was mentioned at Miyaneya today but I haven't been able to find it so far (still checking)...

And for what I can tell, those I follow around wb who are Aiba fans haven't said a word, so I tend to think that it is a rumor until I get confirmation of it...

Haven't watched VSA properly, will do now... but just after watching the pics from weibo I can do so flailing...


because Jun looks just too cute with his new hair cut and he did awesome in Pinball runner... and he was so handsome and ashdfalkshdfkashfkashfdlkasdhflaksdhf, yes! He did!

And they were cute at the beginning with no Aiba (based on caps, haven't seen it!) and Aiba was just to cute in some moments like in the bowling part

And Sho looks really idol-less due to this normal-looking eyebrows but he looks just too cute and too hug-able and have such a need to go and pat him...

And I don't know how I feel about also sharing b-day with that girl from Last Hope and Yama Taro... Truth be told, I liked her in Yama Taro, more or less and she seems fine sometimes, but some others... :S She goes into that category of Japanese actresses that I feel a bit blah about (i.e. Horikita Maki)


Also... I am so deeply in love with Tokei Jikake no Umbrella choreo... To talk about Arafes sounds like old news but for me, apart from, Happiness and Shake it!, Gimmick Game, Love Situation and Face Down performance, my absolutely favorite parts are (of course) DJxMJ + La Tormenta + Tokei! Maybe it is every single second of the DJxMJ -Masaki.com and Magical Song are just <3<3<3<3<3-, maybe it's related to those hot outfits (especially Jun's), maybe is the sakumoto moment at the beginning of La Tormenta, or maybe how hot and focused they look during the Tokei dance. And knowing Ohno's created it... make my heart doki doki (I can't recall Superfresh's too well, but although I liked that one too, I prefer Tokei's more!

Btw, which other choreos did Ohno create? I know I read it somewhere but didn't keep the link or write them down *headdesk*

Oh! and Breathless confirmed as Platina Data's theme! I am so curious about it!! When will we get a sneak preview of it? or of Calling's PV? I am not picky! But, NOW!!! *waiting impatiently*

Just something quick... I've just listened (properly) to part of Arashi's theme for Aiba's drama!

It's a slow song, not what I had in mind for the drama and well, not sure it fits the drama yet, but the chorus is really nice and what I think it's the bridge is also good!

When will we know the title? (Will tomorrow be one of those days like some weeks ago? wasn't the previous pre-order on Friday too?)

However in the special they aired (afternoon in Japan), Aiba's drama looks really good. I dare to say that I probably will like it more than Ohno's due to the cast and Aiba's character... There were some hilarious moments and he was brilliant in them!!

The young actress looks nicer than Erika Toda, imo, and come one look at the three boys: Aiba, Okura and Fujiki Naohito, that is total win!

dekishimeta posted that she noticed that in the poster for Aiba's drama it says 'theme by Arashi'. These are great news!!! But now i wonder about Ohno's drama. Personally i can't walk by the street and actually see a big poster :S so i can check it right now, although i would love too :P any rumor around?

Which are the chances, though? That both get a single? I would love that, but it seems like it won't happen... Besides, they've been releasing two singles for dramas in Fuji... Does it have to be with the fact that this time is just one for NTV?

I am typing from my phone, not using the app... Sorry for the mistakes.

I would love to know what other people think... Will it be another fast song with dancing? I hope so, i love them dancing, what can i say!

Note: actually, although i am esctatic, i have this fear about we not really enjoying every release because it seems everything goes so fast, rushed... All they are doing, don't know if it makes sense... Hope the quality don't drop ever...

First things first: Aiba, why??!?? You have the potential, come one!! Why not!? Why so shy about it?!!! *pout*

Second: OMG! Sadly, not nude pics, but Aiba looks really REALLY good and REALLY hot in those An An pics!!! Really sexy pics, Aiba! (maybe too many clothes, but well chosen). The white shirt is a good touch and the trench (for me Aiba + trench = me drooling) but well, I just should have guessed that you weren't up to make us all go gaga... *sigh* (you can see pics from the photo shoot around tumblr already ;))

I would like to know how the Men's Non-No and Freecell photo shoots are, because I pre-ordered the first one but not the second, and I need to know about it so I am in time to order it...

Now, let me tell you this, Sho fans: CUT MAGAZINE!!! April issue!!! That is a must buy!!!! How can this man look so incredibly intense and sexy and perfect in close-ups (and barely any photoshop for what I can tell). I know that is because he has beautiful skin and didn't have any problems with it in his teens... but well, those couple of close ups are so so AWESOME!

There are a couple of pages with pics of him dressed for Blackboard. They aren't a lot of Sho pages (also an interview) but they are really really nice!!! (Cut's cover for April issue is the famous Titanic pic as they are releasing it in 3D *sigh*)

I would like to link to the two close ups but the person who posted them at WB said that not posting outside there... I haven't seen them in tumblr either so, I am sorry I don't have a preview for you... I ordered the magazine so eventually I will scan it. Sorry about that!

ETA: Somebody already posted a sneak peek to the Cut HERE . Also you can also see the very nice pics of him dressed in Blackboard outfit included in QLAP! magazine April 2012 issue, HERE. (not sure they should have been posted outside of wb or not, but there you have them.

Jun what have you done with Sho, who put an spell on him?! That's what happens when you eat that cookie/chocolate bar thingy? I wonder...



lol! It looks like a couple pic, right? lol!

I don't know why I find it so amusing, but I do... humor me, please!

Jun looks really handsome there but the chipmunk (it's more a squirrel right?) it's so small and tiny and so reminds me of his hubby...

It seems to be for his new Meiji cm. The crispy thing looks delicious and not good to keep your weight at bay... Press release here.

PS. Oh, I keep reading rumors about Aiba's An An being a nude one. I still don't know if it's that they are praying it's one or actual rumors about it being that way... *crosses fingers* Wouldn't be nice? He would be the third Arashi being all sexy and hot and with no clothes in an An An. I hope TPTB listen to the weibo's girls prayers...

I still don't have a solution for my problem with the JE smartphone aplication... *cries hopelessly*

But Aiba distracted me with this Muhi Alpha EX cm...



O_O! So hot that I needed to make a big gif! (you know how I love big gifs!) ^^
He and Jun should so something with their boxing skills... but somewhere where we could enjoy it, of course (not in private boys!)

And I won't mention (mainly because I don't like to post other people's pics) but that Nazodi SP pic of Kageyama with a tight black coat, black leather gloves, nunchaku and a 'don't mess with me' face... I want that pic in HQ as soon as possible (and still almost two months to watch that!) I really need that photo *rocking herself* I want that photo, in higher quality! I need that photo...

ps: would like to know if you take the gif to use it or something... so, maybe a little comment?

Dear Aiba chan,

I know that you have fun doing what you're doing and that being you it's a vital matter since otherwise you wouldn't be doing what you're doing... but you see, I love the five of you, really, I do and very much, but I do have enough with 2 ichibans. You know who, the couple of most serious members of your band, yes... And the thing is that I am poor enough after buying their latest magazines (from last summer that Sho invaded the book stores to now that are all covered with Jun's face everywhere)... So, I would thank you if you could stop being so incredibly hot in your latest photo shoots because I just can't resist you and your hotness and your lovely smile!

And above all, please stop wearing trench coats because you in them are going to be the death of me.

Sincerely,

ginger

PS Please be advised that I have already received Soda magazine and I've just ordered + Act (for a second time, because the first one got lost in the mail) plus H and Ure Pia.

Days ago I was looking for the FNS 2009 (I'm still in the process of getting it). The main reason was because when Nino's new movie was announced in a post in aramatheydidnt in the comments I read a long conversation about Nino's hurting back and all that and how at the end of 2009 he had to use a cane. One of them posted a pic from the FNS 2009 where you could actually see the handler of the cane as Nino was holding it seated next to Sho.

Apart from the worry I felt due to Nino's back I also noticed how gorgeous they looked in that particular event! and in my search for the show the first thing I got was, obviously, their performance there.

How much I love both of them! You can't imagine! I really heart they gentle way they sang Fuyu ga hajimaruyo and the passion they put in Ashita no kioku (I love how they usually perform this one!!)

Anyway...

Here is still December 24th and although I can't post what I had in mind, I didn't want to miss the chance:



Happy Birthday, you lovely happy boy! Thank you for your infectious laugh and your smile that bright up any room. I wish you have a wonderful year ahead! And btw, please, take care of your health, because we need you strong and happy! All the best Aiba-chan!

Hope I can visit your family's restaurant again in 2012!

PS Will try to post what I wanted in the following days... My connection is awful and sporadic...
