Happy Birthday to Ohno (ojiisan)!! XD Can you believe he's already 29 years old?!?!?! He's becoming an Ojii-san, but well all know he's still a little kid. :3

I hope you had a great birthday filled with many awesome stuff (including going fishing :]) and I hope you have many more great birthdays to come. You are a very admirable person, and I hope you will never change. ^______^ Once again, Happy Birthday! :DD



( Since I don't really have anything in celebration of Ohno's B-day, I will share a few recent pics that has won me over again and again. :P )

A Monday is never complete without AnS! It has been a while since I've made a screencap post of AnS. This week was sort of a no money special, I thought their new corner thing was freaking hilarious and I wouldn't mind seeing them do this once a month or so. XDD

I wasn't really able to understand what their topic was about, but I was able to understand what dialect they should be talking about XDD

( it has been a while since I've laughed this hard...and warning there are a lot of pics! :P )

bahaha I should have done this a while ago...it's been like 3 weeks since this has been released :X



( arigatou )

I know I shouldn't be posting at work, but I just finished some brain wracking stuff, so I think I deserve a break. xP

Yay for my new obsession GLEE!! :DD (It's like the only American tv show I watch now! Amazing :P)

For a while I've liked Glee and decided to stick with it since it was pretty interesting, but only like this week have I realized how much I like love it.

( I am a Gleek. 8D )

:sigh: so I definitely need to start cracking down on my essays that will be due soon, but once again lack of motivation and procrastination is kicking in (a very deadly combo). BUT I need to take the time to talk about Guest of Room 0. XD

( Come on baby )

Yeah, bet that got you attention! lol just kidding :P

Anywho, just listened to Tokei Jikake no Umbrella, and felt the need to write down my first impression of it so I can use it for reference for when I am able to listen to the whole thing. :P

This song is weird, mysterious, somewhat seductive, interesting, and weird. XD lolz yeah I'm not really sure if I like this song or not. It's definitely a new sound to Arashi. When I listen to this song this is the image I get.

Setting: Some type of bar or more of a dance club. Arashi are the entertainers and they have their band backing them up while the 5 of them take their place in front with microphones (like from Everything) on stage. The place is dimly lit, with a black/blue lighting. We see various couples dancing the tango in the foreground, but then, Ohno comes in, spotlight only on him (at this time this is where our focus turn to). The spotlight fades in and out whenever each of the members take their turns singing, finally we hit the chorus; lights are fully lit on all 5 of them and they start doing some dance.

After it hits Sakurap part it loses me. I'm not sure if I really like the rap part. :X It seems so abrupt, there's no transition into it and it makes it seem like they just smashed two different songs together and was like BAM this works. :|

I'll update this again with my impression of My Girl later. =D

Tell me what you think of the two latest songs!

Yes it has been a while since I have made a proper fangirl post, for that I am sorry, but I swear I'll make it up with this post! =P

but...OMG have you guys seen the latest Non-No scans with Sho and Ohno???!?!?!? It's the most CUTEST THING EVER!!!! >_______< I swear I kind of died from the cuteness overload XD

( Attack from the Yama Pair )

ヤッタ! My week is complete now that I have finally received ayaka's History 2006-2009 album. :D It was nice watching all her PVs and watching the extra documentary/concert footage =DD although it was only clips from her concert (but I wish they would have included the whole thing =P), it was just beautiful. When I get the chance, I'll so some scanning and put up the album so I can spread the love~ ^^

She has one more sp concert (MTV unplugged sp) before she goes on hiatus, and I definitely can't wait to watch it. =3 And I'll send you off with another great performance. (As you can tell, I am on a Ayaka addiction right now >.<)

As I wait impatiently for my Best of Ayaka Album to arrive, I am indulging in her live performances. Here's one live that I just found today, and It's unbelievably beautiful and touching. I seriously hope they include the full concert on the DVD! P.S. It's better to watch it in HD :D

Congratulations on your 10th year Anniversary! Although I have only been a faithful fan for a little over a year, the five of you who make up A.Ra.Shi truly amazes me. In the land of Sunrise Nippon, you are part of the Typhoon Generation and I Believe that you have created a storm around the world and will continue to do so.

In this Era (Jidai), it is nice to know that people like you still exist where you show so much kindness, humbleness, and show Something that is More Important than Words (Kotoba Yori Taisetsu na Mono), like your unchanging feelings towards your One Love- your fans.

*While We're lost (Tomadoi Nagara) in the Galaxy Inside you (Hitomi no Naka no GalaxyLove so Sweet of the Hero like qualities you hold and like a Crazy Moon- You are Invincible (Crazy Moon~Kimi wa Muteki).

It is thanks to the inspirational storm (Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi) that I am able to Step and Go towards an unknown Barefoot Future (Hadashi no Mirai), which I'm sure holds Happiness under the Blue Sky Pedal (Aozora Pedal). The Truth is, I will go Beyond the Wind (Kaze no Mukou e), on a Bright Roadx2 (Pikanchi (Double)) and will Bloom, (like a) Cherry Blossom (Sakura Sake). I know Everything will be Kitto Daijoubu because **You're here for Me (Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru).

***"A Day in Our Life as Arashi, we could not have made it this far without you." This is what you have continued to tell us. Just as you are thankful to us, we are just as thankful to you. Let us continue on with these Beautiful Days, hand in hand towards Tomorrow's Memory (Ashita no Kioku)

I Wish for your safety as you continue to go hold your concerts, I will also continue to do my best with a Nice Spirit (Nice na Kokoroiki and I know We Can Make It!

ほにょうにありがとうございます！

* This paragraph makes no sense, can you tell I was just trying to BS my way through it? XP
** Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru is actually translated as 'I'm Here for You.' I know, I kind of cheated =P
*** mmm more BS for you :X



OMG made it just in time!!! Please forgive the cheesiness of this letter and the randomness (aka the crappy grammar). Doing this was a lot hard than expected and I'm surprised I made it in time! So sorry if it doesn't really make sense ^^;;; was rushing through it and just want to get this post out before the 15th is over!! I'll probably edit this after. lolz

Once again, Happy Anniversary Arashi!! =D
