• Ate daydreams for breakfast, lunch, supper.
• Impressed with Nino's boyfriend skills in Minami no Koibito.
• Winked back at a winking J. LOL. -----> This is super lame of me!
• Terribly missed that time when Nino was candid and didn’t dodge questions by throwing them back at you.
• Sailed in a sea of feels.

I don't know what happened. Last night, after watching Jiro Dreams Of Sushi, which by the way, is very interesting and inspiring, Sho finally made it on my phone. I mean, I put a photo of Sho on my phone. I didn’t use it as wallpaper, I prefer a plain, clean screen. I just have it there, hidden in my photo library. I just wanted to have his photo ( Read more... )

Last midnight, a very cold night, I finally had some leisurely time to sit on my bed and savor my first Arashi photobook. I would say it also lends itself to being a coffee table book. Not that I would browse through it whilst drinking coffee or other beverages, the pages are too pretty for spills. It is huge, thick, and a fraction of the pages’ ( Read more... )

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">I read somewhere that fandom is a lot like religion, best kept to one's self. And that it is a full-time job. Wise words! Perfect for the first pages of the Arashi Fangirl Handbook, if there was one.
mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Recently, I realized that being an Arashi fangirl is literally and ( Read more... )

Just read a very cute doujinshi about a factory run by four friends (Ohno, Sho, Ninomi, Matsujun) that makes happiness by manufacturing their other friend (Aiba-chan)! Kawaii! ☺

After I met you, a line has been clearly drawn dividing my life into two very distinct chapters, that is, Pre-Arashi and Post-Arashi. I go to sleep at night thinking about what happened in my life pre-Arashi and think, “Ah, there was a time like that”. Those days before this rainbow vortex seem like a million light years away. How essentially I ( Read more... )

While I was away, I thought of their smiles, the funny things they do, their pre-bubble days, their hairstyles. So many random thoughts! I thought about how it feels like everything they talk about is an inside joke, how they look good in headbands, sneakers, and boots. I miss the dyed hair and bad teeth era. I wish they had more outdoor photo ( Read more... )

I apologize for my all too frequent posts waxing poetic about the boys, it’s just that, I’m madly in love with them. So, so much more than when I first met them! Anyway, this would be the last because I do plan to become human again after turning to jelly from too much flailing. LOL.

I realized that the reason why people love Arashi as a whole, as ( Read more... )

My heart did somersaults when I saw Matsujun waving and flashing his megawatt smile before singing Happiness in Johnny’s Countdown! Kyaaaa! I remember Matsu-nii’s interview in Shounen Club Premium where he says that the most important thing an idol must have is a gap. And I recall him saying something about how Jun perfectly embodies that. That he ( Read more... )

It's not a big surprise to me that Arashi is selling like hotcakes and the boys have become the national super idols of today. I think a good balance of luck, hardwork, appeal, and maybe, a “master plan” really did it for them.

Aside from their concerts and musical career, I think it was TV that made Arashi a household name. The variety shows ( Read more... )
