So... this is the first time ever I try to post something in my LJ, dont know yet what will I say exactly, just now get a thought about making a goal for 15th anniversary of Arashi...
First, the reason WHY I didnt post anything for all this year is simply, I dont have enough confident to do it. I am not really good in english, while most of LJ’s readers are english speaker... I dont have any skill about getting newest news about arashi that I can share for others... dont really have anything to share to other fan so... yes, I feel kinda embarrass actually cant give anything as a fan, instead I just can always enjoy from the others...
Since last year is a kinda a meaningful year as a fan of this entertainment world, I got something important lesson from a fandom I follow, so in the end I realize that I’ve to give a try at least once in my life, or not I’ll just be a coward for all my life in Arashi’s fandom...
And then I get this thought about posting 15 posts until the day of Arashi 15th anniversary, so hope I can do a little things to show my gratefulness for all this year I’ve became arashi’s fan.
please keep in your mind that MY ENGLISH IS FAR FROM PERFECT :D
And here we go my first post...
I want to share the story of me getting know about arashi.
Like most of arashi’s fan, I was jun-bait :D I have watched some scenes of his drama HYD once in my local network, but it aired at the late night so I couldnt follow the show everyweek but I remembered one scene very well, the scene of domyouji and his mother dinner/lunch together... I was really amazed by his eyes at that time and like his character immediately.
Years later, BBF (Korean version of HYD), aired in my country, it was phenomenal and read one article in a tabloid that actually many HYD’s manga fan choose HYD is the best version compare to mateor garden and BBF. Then I watched HYD and YES, I LOVE IT, absolutely agree that HYD is the best version.
Began to search everything about jun and “so he is a member of a boy band???” That surprised me really, I remember once I read an article said that Arashi is considered as Top Boyband in Asia. Honestly, in the beginning I listened to arashi’s song, “what is this song?? What kind of this music?” I read too that they topped weekly chart as well as being the highest selling artist too... so I really wonder why this kind of song got really high popularity??? Since I didnt really like their songs at that time, I kinda less interested about them until someday unintentionally I found some of their concert videos...
And that’s it! Arashi Around Asia in Tokyo and 5x10 Anniversary, those two concerts which made me finally speechless, and deeply fallen in love with arashi... their concert is DIFFERENT than any concert I’ve ever watched! I dont know how to explain it, it just so wonderful, so beautiful, so so so much entertaining! I feel so touched by their singing, and the way they reach their fans from beginning until end, “what is this kind of concert??? IT’s absolutely SO SO SO FUN!!! I want to be THERE TOO!!!” there is so many things about their concert that I want to tell, but it’ll be very long so I’ll save it for the next post :D
Quite long first post huh? Hehe hope I can post the next story soon!
