1992*4##111な潤くん

大好きな潤くん。

ダイダイダイダイダァ～～イスキな潤。

あんたのせいでそんなに貧乏になった。

いや、冗談だ。冗談！！！

本当は、潤くんのお陰で嵐を知ってきたの。

花男をみて、「WISH」を聞いて、ファンになった。

この８月３０日がすごく特別なんだ。２７年前のあの日に、潤くんこの世に来てくれたから。

嵐のなかで一番なんていないって言ったけど、潤くんだけは特別な存在なんだ。

だから、私の特別な潤くん、皆のドS番長、嵐の守りたい末っ子、

お誕生日おめでとう。

すべての夢を叶えますように。

ずっと元気でありますように。

したい事を全部できますように。

しあわせでありますように。

My dear Yujin....

I had to watch the 27 Aug Music Station.

I had to be reminded of it one hour before my day.

I had to see this

Music Station 20100827

And get reminded of

PYH

and

PYH2

Just one hour before my day.

I've ordered a pile of memorial books charting his life in showbiz and his achievements, ups and downs. But they have been sitting there, because I dare not open up the package. It's just something I don't want to touch, for now. But I feel jealous at times for living so normally. It's like, he was such a big part of my life. I had professed to like him, admire him so much. I had felt my heart crushed when I found out. But now, less than a year later, I'm continuing to fangirl over others, laugh happily at entertainment, watch and squeal at dramas... Like...nothing ever happened. It's not just that. I've lost a childhood playmate a few years back. Though we had grown distant since me entering secondary school, the news hit me. I remember crying for the following few days, even in school. But now, it's like nothing ever happened. Why do people forget? I tend to look at the positive side of things. But here I can't. Forgetting the pain of losing is an amazing ability. But it's also sad that we forget the emotions we hold for people once so dear. They fade into our memories, only to be thought of once in a long while.

Anyway,

here's the said performance from Yuzu, great as always.

ゆず 「慈愛への旅路」 歌のみ Mステ 27/08/2010

There're only very few K8 songs that I like. This.....could be another one. I don't really like this kind of voice, but...somehow after listening a while, it gets to you. Raw, countryside-ish, simple. Plus, the lyrics are very encouraging. Very. But I'm lazy to do anymore translations so I won't do it for the lyrics. =)

PMs

Sorry if I'm not reply PMs, because vox is acting up again. There's a horrible bug on vox's PM system (and comments page as most people have experienced) which...I don't want to elaborate. But it may just compromise your privacy so please do not post sensitive information via PMs. I'm experiencing such a problem (not on the losing privacy side but on the infringing on privacy side) and the result is that I can't reply PMs, or even read them.

I'll just have to wait for the issue to resolve itself before replying, but just in case it takes long,

I'm not ignoring anyone.

This is why lj has an edge over vox

Not just because vox is super buggy (loads of issues regarding user accounts, commenting features, posting features) which I've personally experienced and am still experiencing.

This time round, it's the lack of cuts.

I shut my eyes immediately when I saw a mannequin on my n-page. And calmly, I closed the window. Not gonna let myself be spoilt to this much awaited fun ep!

Yes, I dislike vox. But I like the people here (more)...so....

Someone just forward this to Sho

This. Is insane.

More concert goods

Posters! Couldn't find pictures yesterday, but here they are today, from YAJ. Very nice. Every single one.

Ohno poster

Ohno poster2

Ohno - like the carefree smile

Sho poster

Sho poster2

Sho - like the eye catching vest

Aiba poster

Aiba poster2

Aiba - like the colour coordination and his hair

Nino poster

Nino poster2

Nino - like the details on his vest and the colours of the nape

Jun poster

Jun poster2

Jun - like him

Arashi poster

I prefer the one in the photo set. They should have used this for the photo set and that one for the bigger poster!

Towel

This is how the hooded towel looks like spread out

Concert goods

All pics from YAJ.

Arashi plaster

My favourite item from this year. The plasters are sooo cute! I'm a collector of plasters (Really, I have like too many for my own good) and really want to add them to my collection!

Group clear file

I don't like Sho's posture in here. But I like the all white.

Group clear file reverse

But the back is nice. Simple and nice. Somehow, the droplet...reminds of one word "DIAO"

Arashi towel

So cute. I think the colour makes it very....child-like.

Arashi towel logo

Cute cloud!

Arashi pin badge

I've noticed that they have been attached this symbol to all their releases since 5x10.
But who knew that it'll appear in the 10-11 concert too!?
The left one is Kokuritsu-limited while the right one is common throughout all venues.

Arashi pin badge reverse

You can see the venue engraved on the back.

Ohno concert goods

Love the hair in the clear file (the hair makes him look much younger!) dislike the flurry hems of his top.

Sho con goods

Like the top, dislike the hair.

Aiba con goods

Why do he look so pissed off the in clear file!?

Nino concert goods

What's with the shaggy hair in the clear file? Reminds me of DAL....The mini uchiwa one is still bearable.

Jun concert goods

The only mini uchiwa I've seen that has anything other than just the face and shoulers! KAWAII!

Jun concert goods reverse

I like the back of the mini uchiwa too!

 

Lastly, nothing to do with concert goods but...

From here.

Kaibutsuchan

This is too cute! I may just buy it haha. The kaibutsu hat rubber band is cute too!
[EDIT] I just bought it. =X

Natsu matsuri tomorrow! I'll have fun here while Arashi have fun at Kokuritsu!

It's a small small world

I was taking the bus home just now when something amazing happened.

Suddenly thinking about the Kokuritsu, I called Angel on my phone and started yakking away.

After a good...3 mins (?), I looked rightwards and saw something.

A Jun photo behind an EZ Link card case!!!!!!!

The owner was getting ready to alight, so all I could do was to tap on her shoulder and ask, "Are you..."

I didn't manage to end my sentence coz I was too shocked to form a proper sentence. Instead, I just pointed at her card case. And as all Arashi fans think alike, she nodded before alighting. O.O

How many times does this kind of thing happen to a person?

When she boarded the bus, I had found her familiar. But then, I found a few other people familiar too, since I frequently take that bus, so i didn't pay notice to her...But...on hindsight, maybe we met at some Arashi event before?

Amazing!

Lost my mind by Lee Seung Gi

Here's a MV for the My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho kdrama I previously spammed about here. The translation is quite accurate...and the MV is cute. I think it's fanmade (?) and the scenes are taken from the first 2 eps, so some scenes may repeat themselves. But overall it's a cute MV, cute song, cute lyrics. So just watch it ne! Who knows, you might get interested in the show itself after watching! And our dear faithful Withs2 subbing team is taking up this project! I'm part of it too!

Music Station 20100813

Let me think what I want to think.

They performed Troublemaker in addition to Movin' On because Sho wasn't there in person during the Music Station for Troublemaker! So they wanted to make it up to him (and us).

And Jun looked so gorgeous that night <3

The Movin' On dance looks good too, lots of hips swaying and hands action! I can't wait for the con!

If only Yuzu was there too...it would have been one of my fav Music Station eps. Arashi, FMB, TOKIO and Yuzu. =/ But SMAP was good, surprisingly...quite entertaining. That song has got this old school English song feel.
