i still can't believe what happened on tuesday.
tuesday, feburary 19, 2008 = best day of my life. XD
Okay! I want to do a full on report of tuesday!
+Woke up at about 5:30-6 AM ish. Left the house around 6:50-7 AM, got starbucks, then hit the road
+four hours later, at exactly 11:00 AM we [we being my two sisters and dad] pull up into the Orleans parking lot
+We enter and look for the Prime RIb Loft where there's this black jack or whatever table set up with signs that say filming is going to be done so my sisters and I are like omg omg omg its truee.
+We walk around for a while then we decide to have lunch...well brunch at the chinese restuarnt next to the prime rib loft where we got this table that gave us the perfect view of the blackjack table where they were going to film. There, we saw this girl who obiviously was an arashi fan cause for some reason we just knew. She said the filming or setting up was going to be around 12
+After that, we can't eat and we see this guy that looks like Shun but turns out its not. We pay the bill and walk around. Of course, I feel like a total prude like Sakurai and can't help but feel suspicious and awkward.
+We go to drop stuff in the car and we enter through the east vallet where its obivious they're filimg there too!!
+Some time after that, we meet fan girls! There was this girl, Carisa?, who had Domyouji cookies!! And a whole bunch of Time goods~ Uwah so jealous. Then there was Vanessa, Wendy, Vanessa's little brother who's name idk how to spell but was really adorbale, Cecila, and others. We talked to them and they left. More fans came. They began singing Love So Sweet and of course, we joined in. Eventually, there was this large group of fans and we began looking at my Arashi Around Asia photobook that I pulled out of my Arashi Around Asia + in Dome bag which everyone was like :O!! It was funny when we were talking about Aiba and his NOT skirt.
+Fast Forward a little to around 1:30-2 and the staff comes and has us move to the side. My sisters and our little group stand closest to the stairs that lead into the prime rib loft. From like a mile away, my older sister [the Jun Fan] sees the one and only Domyouji turning the corner and coming this way. She begins to freak out and we all notice. They walk past us and we are forced to move to a spot that allows us to see the balcony. All this time I'm texting to my friend so I barely saw Jun x.x; BUT my little sister said he saw my sign!
+While we're standing and looking up at the balcony, the staff people keep looking over and like laughing to themselves. I'm pretty sure they were reading our signs. From this spot, we could see Jun and Mao everytime they got close to the balcony's edge. So we stand there just watching them reherse and stuff. The next thing we know is Jun went down and we didn't even see him walk by.
+Around this time, we're all wondering where Jun is. So I take my dad [cause I'm a minor and can't walk around by myself] to go to the bathrooms in the direction Jun went. And just as I'm walking, OMG THERE HE IS. I make sure my sign is in front of me [it says "I love Arashi's MatsuJun! Arashi, please come to America!!" in japanese] and is readable. I look at Jun and HE MAKES EYE CONTACT WITH ME for like 5 seconds? Then he looks back at his manager person and they keep talking. But its like he has this smirk that's tugging on the corners of his lips. And I'm just thinking HE READ MY SIGN!! And so he walks right past me!! Like we were 2 or 3 feet away from each other! He walk past me!! OMG! During that like minute, my entire brain froze but my body didn't so I kept walking. And instead of going to the bathroom, I turn around and walk to a point where I can see my group and I'm just like OMG OMG OMG! of course, I'm not actually saying it. So then I go back and share my unbelievable experience with them.
+Then they move us to stand by the chinese restuarant. We talk to one of the workers there and she was telling us that they arrived the day before. We pulled out our old issuses of Popolo that had Domyouji and showed it to her and she was like yeahh that's him! And she was saying he was handsome. She also told us that he got lost looking for his room and all he could say was "room? room?" Oh my gosh, that's sooo adorable, I could just picture our DoS Hime getting lost and not being able to ask for directions then getting mad.
+We were in that spot for like over an hour or so. Then we got moved to UNDER the balcony. So we thought filming was going to end soon. It turns out it wasn't. But never the less, we fans stuck together!
+At that time, Mao walked down! She went to the bathroom on the other side so she walk right past us. Then when she got back, there was this group of fans that were like "MAO!MAO!MAO!" and I got kinda mad cause we said we wouldn't scream :[ But nevertheless, Mao looked at us, smiled, and nodded. My sister and Vanessa said when they waved at her, Mao smiled at them too!
+Sooo after more waiting, we [we being my group] stood closest to the stairs. My older sister stood by the stairs with her sign that said "I love Jun Matsumoto" ready just incase he came down anytime. Luckily for her, when 5:30 rolled around, Jun comes down and LOOKS AT HER, READS HER SIGN AND SMILES, but of course, he keeps walking. While we're freaking out, filming there ends and we're told by the security lady who was probably annoyed of us to go take a break.
edit:"you forgot to put that jun smells really good ... well from where i stood he did. mind you, i was the first one at the foot of the staircase jun went up and down of. xDD" from my older sister :D
+We walked to the area of the buffet cause that's whereeeeeeeeeee 1. Jun and Mao went and 2. Where the buffet is. Soo we thought maybe, just maybe we'd be able to eat at the same place as them! But first, we went to the restroom where we saw staff going into this room where it said "Private Party" and we were like D: THEY'RE IN THERE FOR SURE!
+My family and I eat at the buffet and get seats closet to the window again. After we're done, we go to the bathroom again so I can take my contacts off and my older sister swears Mao was in the bathroom at the same time as us cause she said she saw Mao's shoes in a stall! OMG! Ahaha.
+Theeennn we sit at the benches infront of the buffet and we talk to Cecila and her group! We begin just talking and fliping through magazines where her mom[?] friend begins to fan girl TxT. Luckily for us, we had my little sister. Without her, we would have never spotted Jun and Mao walk out. When we see that, we get up and follow them. Yes I know stalkerish, but we were going to the east vallet!! To watch them film!
+East vallet filiming started at about 6-ish. That gave me and my family three hours left. Uwahh Jun was soo close! And Shigeru was there too! OMG she's soo pretty in real life! We had to move to the side of the building to watch the fimling. This is where SOMETHING happened. The security lady who was practically annoyed of us said we couldn't take pictures earlier. Then, as we're standing on the side walk, I forget what she says exactly, but she says something like go ahead and take pictures as long as I don't see and there's no flash. So...well you know what happened. Cameras were taken out and used secretly. I think my older sister took like 80+ pictures of Jun at the vallet x.x;
+Mmm fast forward and my older sister and I went in to go to the bathroom. We had to take the long way back, but it wasn't bad cause it meant running through the set when they weren't filming. I got kinda paranoid cause this staff looked at us and was like "Ano futari..." [those two...] before we ran off. I thought he was gonna do something D: But we weren't doing anything bad! They told us to cut that way anyway.
+While my sister and I were off having that little adventure and watching the scene from across and talking to french people, Vanessa said that Jun and Mao went to them and took a picture of the fans!! OMG! But then my little sister said it could have been deleted since this guy took the camera and pressed a few buttons D:
+Filming is drawing near its end and Jun disappears. He was done filming. So my sisters and I had to go! But not yet! We walked into the entrance of the vallet where we met up with Momo and her friend. We were talking and Momo looked over to where the Ice cream place was and sees the actress of Shigeru getting ice cream. We knew we shouldn't have, but we went up to her. Momo asked if we could take a picture, and in the most adorablest way, she goes "gomen nasai!" I think she would have liked to, but her manager was there. We said that was okay and asked if we could shake her hand. And WE DID! NATSUKI SHOOK OUR HANDS!! OMG~!! All I could say was "Gambatte Kudasai!!" and "Otsukaredeshta!" [quietly cause I wasn't sure] and she smiled as she apologized. We waved goodbye and smiled to her. She and her manager went off.
+This is when my day ends! My sisters and I take a picture with Momo and her friend, say good bye and leave. Left at about 9:30-ish, got home around 1:30 AM ish. haha
It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun. And it was worth missing a day of school XD
I would post pictures, but Jun asked fans not to take pictures so I feel kinda bad. I might edit this later and post a few, but I'm still not so sure :[[
AND!! If you went, I'm one of the three sisters who were walking around together! I'm sure you remember us. I'm the one who had the AAA+ bag and wore glasses in the second filming. Yeahh. Haha. That's meee. Anyone remember? Haha. XDD
edited: They all have this journal's tag on it. Even though, I don't want them to be taken out of this journal. I really don't want them floating around on line. If you want to show them, just link to this post. Please, please, please, please do not take them out. That's all I ask.
sorry for the picture quality. my camera gets like that when you zoom in really close. we were standing from really far so we had to zoom in as far as we could.
once again edited. haha. i'm having issues with these pictures. its like i dont want to post them because i feel really bad. but some people do want me to because they weren't able to go and i could at least share what i saw. buttt then others are telling me not to do so. so i took many of the ones that were showed a lot of his face. And tomorrow, I'm gonna go and f-lock these pictures or just take them off completely. So yeahhh =\
the pictures have been moved! It's just the same 7 pictures that I left here. They're f-locked if anyone still wants to see them.
i still can't believe what happened on tuesday.
