Well, I was wondering yesterday what I wanted to do with my journal... I want to keep it as it is... I am fine with the way things are going since the awful event a couple of weeks ago.

The thing is that when I scan magazines or photos or pamphlets I do it to share but I don't want anything like the yt thing happening and I don't feel comfortable posting in communities with my journal any more... so well, I can't promise I will be a good maintainer, I will try my best...

So yes, a comm for scans!

So well, although I may post the scans here anyway (not sure, probably I may just link there), I will post them mainly there. My idea is keeping it friends only but well maybe I need to open posts for a little bit for people to know it exist...

There is an introductory post you should read. Membership it moderated and all that. YOU MUST READ, COMMENT IN THAT POST FOR ME TO ADD YOU! (and click join, of course) and of course follow the rules...

Why that name? It's one of my fav songs and it sounded cute and not very obvious is you are not an Arashi fan ^^

I will lock this post later...

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...

It's a really silly thing, but goo did one of those polls about 'which actresses and actors have healthy sex appeal' and guess what?

In the actors department we got this:

01 – 4316 votes – Sakurai Sho
02 – 3850 votes – Matsumoto Jun

*squee*

But well, we all know that those two have sex appeal... and if we 'combine' them *cough* just imagine!! massive spontaneous combustion among sakumoto/Arashi fans for sure...

Oh, I would love to read a ficlet/drabble/fic/draft/whatever about those two commenting the results of this poll...

I don't know how many people actually read journal profiles so I will say it once again.

This journal is most of it friends only (open posts are just announcements, questions, animated gifs or icons, reviews of shows and pic spams from shows/movies, the rest is locked!).

I don't mind adding people but you have to tell me that you want me to add you. Just adding me, especially if you have an empty journal or one in a language I can't understand at all (that means that is in a language that isn't English, Spanish, Japanese or Chinese), won't result in my adding you back. That being the case, you need to tell me that you want me to add you (and it would be great to know why ^^)

I don't bite, so please, tell me.

Adding me means that you will respect the content and the rules I may include in the posts. I am really sorry for locking my posts, but I got too paranoid, and this is my happy place so it shouldn't give me sleepless nights, if you know what I mean.

I love Arashi/JE fandom, I love to offer back what I am able to, but not in exchange of getting worried for what I decide to talk about or post here.

PS forgot to mention that we should have things in common, otherwise I won't see why you really want to add me...

Some people from my friend list commented on it and I got the 'confirmation', I suppose... So mark your calendars and get your piggy banks ready.

You know my Japanese is no good but I definitely heard it being announced at Ohno's Arashi Discovery today (well, on Monday in Japan, here it's still Sunday ;)) and I got confirmation reading some weibo posts after that.

Arrghh! I hate all the nervous-breaking waiting until I manage a preorder! o.O'

Just read in Tokyohive that Koda Kumi is going to sing the opening theme for Nazotoki wa dinner no ato de, so Arashi would sing the ending theme, right? Anyway, I'm a bit disappointed (and I really like Koda Kumi...) for the decision itself... Although with Nino's drama was the same right?

Credit and info here.



*Will try to update with all the appearances the boys have had today...

I hate when good news come and I'm sleeping (hate the time difference with Japan *sigh*). Sho made it! Yippee!!

I know cypros won't be as happy as I am because she wanted that part to be for Ohno. Dear, you know it was fine with me too, but come on, Sho as a butler! with that body and that voice!!! It's a dream come true!!! *happy dance*

Why is October that far away!!!

I love absolutely everything about this drama because I really like Keiko Kitagawa and she was great in another mystery like drama I really enjoyed that was Mop Girl.


I can picture Keiko Kitagawa and Sho looking at each other while finding a clue to solve their mystery... and she saying something and he all serious like 'my lady you're so clever you thought about that' and she 'No, [insert butler name] you are always so efficient, what would I do without you...' XDDD

OMG! I'm already crazy about this and there are two months ahead of waiting! argghh! I need some actual annoucement with pics of both of them or anything!

Thanks to nunuuu who was the first one who told me about the news. You'll find it also at aramatheydidnt and japan_now ;)

I'm so excited that I could talk and talk about scenes I picture in my head... I'm such a lost cause... lol!

ETA: From from Tokyograph However, Kageyama is no ordinary butler. Reiko also happens to be a novice detective, though she lacks in deductive skills. While serving her refined meals, Kageyama listens to the details of her cases and helps her deduce the mysteries while verbally abusing her with “polite” insults.

The series will include even more comedy than the original work. One of the highlights of the show will likely be the disguises that Kageyama wears to accompany Reiko to the crime scenes, keeping an eye on her investigations.

LOL! Disguises, snarky comments... I really can't wait!!!! (too bad Sho isn't given a romantic role, though, there I feel cypros's pain... u.u

Oh reading THIS makes me even more excited. Sho had already read the novel before being offered the part and he liked very much, especially the dialogs! Yay!

I get distracted a little bit, not even a day, and I almost missed these news!!!!! Jun in a butai! Yay because OMG!!! as a boxer!!!! but I'm depressed because there won't be way of me watching that live *cough* matsujun's fans, help! *cough*

Now I understand those impressive, sexy arms he has right now (Music Station anyone?) OMG! This is so amazingly good! I have no words! I would be jumping up and down (maybe I am and you can't see it lol!) of happiness! *eeeeehhhh squeeeeee*

I seeing myself buying all kind of goodies... if there is a pamphlet for this, I do want it!! plus even papa pics!! Because come on, those are a must!

And which are the chances of this being in dvd as Aiba's butai? because Nino's latest wasn't released and come on, he was too hot in that one! I NEED this being in dvd please! I'll be crossing fingers for this to happen *PLEASE!*

I'll say that I approved of the co-star: Koide Keisuke (so cute too!) I think both will look together... and it happens also that Koide Keisuke will be in Yuko Takeuchi's upcoming drama 'Strawberry Night' (I'm excited for this link because I'm such a dork...)

And I read there is also a drama rumor for Sho... Do you remember how there was this rumor about a drama about a Butler and a girl who solved mysteries and that it was linked to Ohno last spring? So now for this fall the rumor comes with Sho and Keiko Kitagawa... I am not complaining at all if this becomes true, let me tell you!!!!

Jun in a butai and Sho in a drama, I won't be complaining at all!!!! *totally giddy*


sources: First, the credit goes to: shongkinamez. Thanks to her tweets I read it first! Thank you! *waves*

I read about this in plenty of journals: yamakaze067, aramatheydidnt, tenjostyle, toku_betsu, hana_saku_moon, arashi_no_jidai, and also in Tokyohive. In fact, it's all over the place by now... *stupid grin*

Yesterday's VS Arashi:

The episode was okay. It isn't my favorite but well, Jun's lovely hair is growing on me. I think he looks so formal/hot that I totally approve! His hair grows pretty fast, anyway! I really love Sho's hair but who put it on place yesterday gave it too much volume, right?

The Monomane team was funny but I must admit that I get tired of impersonations (not from them but from everybody). My limit of them is pretty low I'm afraid.

However it was pretty worthy watching just to see Nino doing the dinosaur thing (however I choose fish-Nino over dinosaur-Nino, imo)

I also enjoyed Sho being all jealous/attention seeker towards Yona while she was pretty much focused on Nino. First in the Rolling Coin Tower (I was going to say Coin Tower, I'm like Ohno!) when he mentions that why the teams are one of two people (Nino and Yona) and the other with the rest of Arashi. I think he thought it unfair (he wanted to go to Nino's team, right Sakurai?) and in the Bound Hockey when she says 'Ganbaro Nino!' and Nino was all fooling around with her and Sho said that they will go sending the disc back and forth from Nino to Yona and vice versa... Sho was so very cute complaining and whining on about it.

Also, I can't forget to mention how amazingly look alike Ohno was to Yamachan when he puts the wig and glasses on. I was like 'Ehhhhh!!??'

If you haven't watched it yet, I've just found one in tudou.

Yesterday's Himitsu no Arashi:

I must confess that I really enjoyed that one. At least the VIP limousine part was hilarious (really you can't expect other thing if you leave to Ohno be the main MC lol!)

At the beginning he was all professional like handling the cards and all (it was too cute to see how he puts them pretty close to his face to read them... ;hearts him!) Jun was all professional and as he was with Riida (who he admires and cares about so much) he was all for making the MC experience of Ohno easier.

However, his good intentions backfired and he ended being handle the MC task and things. Jun's face was so incredibly awesome like 'Nanda kore?! What has just happened here? Riida??' Poor thing.

You mention 'fishing' and Ohno can't help himself. We truly could see how much he enjoys it. It was so good to me because it was the first time I got the chance to see him so incredibly happy and so 'I don't care about anything else! I go fishing!' At the same time he was so focused in being a gentleman and get the fish he promised!!

Meanwhile, Jun was well, let's see how this goes with the guest. I laughed so much poor boy. His faces still speak volumes! He also looked so out of place/surprise while watching all the fishing thing and the loud guys shouting whenver Ohno got something... Seriously, as much as Ohno looked resolute, Jun looked so professionally dealing feeling out of place! It was too cute for words.

And at the guessing game I laughed so much when Jun reaches his nostrils and said 'Koko?' lol!

Beautiful World track lists:

How incredibly awesome that there are 13 new songs!!! (including the one just leaked in their radio shows).

And how incredibly amazing is that of those, 5 have Sakuraps! I'm incredibly curious about Sho's rap in Ohno's solo!! That can be all kind of awesome!!! *happy dance*. I can't help wondering, though, if all those raps will be Boom Boom/Mada Minu sekai he like?? I really hope that some of those are 'real' Sakuraps because those are the ones I truly get crazy about...

I'm happy that Nino's song is also written by him.

Jun's Shake it! sounds promising, doesn't it? I can't wait to see a performance for that. What is in Jun's head about that... I wonder...

In arama's post about the track list Sho's solo is translated as 'Keep going just like this', so let me tell you, I'm expecting something hot coming from him too...

July 6 is not coming fast enough, really! (well I have enough thinking that June 15 is next week! yay!)

I'm incredibly paranoid, impatient, desperate and all the adjetives you can think of...

I'm waiting for cdjapan email and it's killing me. There is no rule that says I'm going to get ittoday, or even tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow... *deep sigh*

I need to have those preorders done to get back my sanity! *pout*

I started the week pretty badly because I assumed I was going to get my fic fix yesterday or today (fics I adore + works in progress = kills me) and that didn't happen.... But going further back in my flist I read the incredible news: Dome concert + album... That's a dream come true!!!

As I commented where I read the news, I just need Jun landing a leading role (a cool one) in a drama and my happiness will be complete!

I need that email like right now!!! damn!! *kicks the floor*

email came wayyyyyy late but it's done (one ordered at cdjapan, the other at yesasia since they have dealt nicely with a change of address before and I have that just at end of June-beginning of July :S)

Day 0 of the waiting countdown... I suck at that too.
