Hehe, gomen ne~ I delighted always too quickly when something is related to arashi ^^ hope that it will be quickly confirmed !

And thx for the the cover, I saw them the first time they were posted but sometimes I'm thoughtless ^^

Kitto Daijoubu poster is so great !!!!!!

THEY"RE REleasing on july 5?!?!? my bday!! HUZAH!!!!!!!!!

that poster / cd cover is so nice:) lol

Ahhhhhh promotional poster *_* When I went up to Kinokuniya yesterday they had CD promo posters there (There was T&T's Venus poster! But no KD yet.) but when I asked they told me they weren't on sale... T_T I was so depressed, cause I was making plans to go up again and buy it but... I guess not. XD

Tokki, thanks for all the info on Nino!! I can't wait to see the movie in theatres... it's funny though cause I just recently got hired at a movie theatre. XD Maybe I can get tickets for free... heehee Gaah but since Nino is probably in the next G no Arashi, I can't wait to see it!! I've missed him so much T_T (Plus, I looove uda uda specials... they always do something cute ne xD)

Hey guys!! it's been such a LONG time since i came here...shame on me...really. i just spent the last 1-2 hours reading JUST the past 15 pgs..i know i'm way more behind than that! so beware..this will probably be a SUPER LONG post!! gomen ne in advance!!

can't say enough thanks to Hikaru Sakurai for uploading stuff to jpopsuki and now providing all those awesome scans!! (Hikaru-san, not sure if u remember talking to me before...way back) i know i must be missing something cuz i read in someone's post about a pin up of Ohno????? how could've i missed that?? can someone kindly redirect me to this pin up of riida??!

thanks tokki2005 for all the info..especially about Nino..haha..thanks for replying to my posts sometimes in the LJ communities..hehehe

Big thanks to everyone else for making this thread alive and informative! a definitely great place to talk about Arashi! i obviously can't remember everyone's names..haha..sorry! but a few is sticking in my head: mukashi, maki-chan...um...yeah, forgot to say i have a poor memory lately!

i shall promise to come here more often and post..i've been talking to my friend/coworker so much lately about Arashi..haha...to the point where i think it's unhealthy! haha..i burn MMA, DnoA, Waza ari into VCD format to show her. We even sometimes watch a bit of it at work *shhh....* LOL She's not an Arashi fan but she does admit that the boys are quite entertaining. Of course she hears endless things from me about Ohno!!

so what's been happening with me lately? not that it's important to anyone here..haha..but it's one of those days that i have lots to say. i'm quite busy, stressed at work...barely have time for anything. my life is dry and i am deprived of sleep. hmm..that basically sums up my life. LOL
My LJ is crap other than kind lea-chan for making the layout for me..i've done nothing to it! otherwise, i'd post all my ramblings there. *sigh*

i'm proud to say i preordered Arashi's "kitto daijoubou" limited edition! and now that i've read news from u guys about another single in the summer and a full album..PLUS a summer concert...(hopefully they will release that on DVD, still upset about the ONE concert...i also hope the solo cons go on DVD! ) my wallet is gonna cry!!

i'm totally enjoying the new MMA eps and finally the last GnoA..no more air guitar!! XD i don't dislike it but it was definitely about time to move onto something else. i'm also curious about what exactly did Sho say to Ohno in the end...cuz reading that Sho is hentai...umm...i dunno..haha..shocking cuz he's the last person i'd think is ecchi (is that the term?) and what did Sho say about Ohno's disguise for the karaoke club?? OH! and in the beginning of the ep, did Ohno talk about his trip to the studio via the train?? seems like he got pushed around and the train was very packed?? haha..commuter stress, i know what that's like!!! but this is what i said to my friend: when i go to japan in november i'm gonna ride the train and see what are the chances of me bumping into riida! LOL i know i know, it's absolutely zero to nil chance but my friends were laughing and said i was MAD! hehehe i'm upset that i can't go to japan earlier cuz i would so love to see their summer concert!!! but i'm just glad i'm going..cuz i REALLY need a vacation. i'm also trying to convince my friends to go to singapore/malaysia too!!

can't wait to see the new MMA, just reading about riida being molested by the obaachans..LOL awww...i want to see him blush! ahaha..

it was interesting to read about MatsuJun's ex-gf. i know he talked about it in utawara but i never knew exactly what was said. so his ex was a mix and from Canada eh? i wonder if most of them do just fall for beautiful looking girls? but i'm sure personality is a great factor too. Side note: i'm from Canada too! ppl say i look mix but i'm not. ppl guess all the possible asian ethnicities for me but never would they guess that i'm Chinese! it's kinda depressing sometimes actually..............ok, that was totally off topic. not that i'm interested in MatsuJun..altho i do think he's got a lot of charisma...but it's really the spaced-out-weirdo-who'll-eat-anything Oh-chan who's my fave!! LOL why? well, cuz i'm a weirdo too and my friends think so (they openly say so which is sad )

sorry guys for the long post and the bolding of text..i wanted ppl to read my post cuz i need some Arashi love!! LOL i need responses! altho i feel much better after writing this post..yes, it was another stressful day at work. actually, i'm kidding about the responses...no need to reply..i think if ppl have actually taken the time to read this..i will be grateful..haha..if u think Oh-chan is an ojiichan...well, then there's me who i really think is becoming an obaachan..my short term memory has gone downhill...AND i think i will probably carry my MEC "waisto-pouch" during my trip to japan!! LOL alright, enough rambling from me..peace out! i will DEFINITELY come and post more as often as i can..i can't believe how much i've missed!!

BTW, i'm taking requests over in Jvariety LJ and onlyarashifiles LJ..mainly for DnoA and MMA eps..it's the least i can do to give back to the communities and showing appreciation to those who are true uploaders and spreading Arashi love!! just be patient with me..i'll try to upload as promptly as i can!

sorry, this is a continuation to my previous LONG post..haha...sorry sorry!

how could i forget to talk about the MMA with the Canadian grandparents! LOL XD i showed my friend at work..and she cracked up! Aiba's engrish just amazes me..it's fun to hear him speak english...and i do give him credits for not being shy but rather enthusiastic. i was a bit disappointed with Ohno..i was hoping to hear him speak more english! at least more than just "let's go!" actually, at first i thought the grandparents probably only speak english...at least what i got from the preview...i was excited to see how they would get by! oh well..it was just as fun to watch...it'd be funny if i ever had the chance to bump into Aiba...i will converse with him in english..haha.."danger danger"..LOL..."nice bubble" "i'll be back!" "i father cook" "let's go shopping" "grandpa, grandma" "yeah yeah yeah" "no no no" Oh...Aiba is so cute when speaking english. it was hilarious to see Ohno panic and covering Aiba's mouth and saying "no..no no!"

i just watched the 10 min clip on the newest MMA with OhnoxAiba..now i know what u guys were talking about!! hahaha..Ohno being molested! hehehehe...ah obaachan..haha...they said grandma was kawaii! XD

Welcome back rukia!! ^^ I read all of your post, but I don't really know what I should respond to. XDDD Oh, but I agree with the canadian grandparents episode thing, I wanted Ohno to speak more English too. T_T I think he was just too terrified to try maybe? Or he thought Aiba was doing a good enough job? XD Oh-chan, speak more English please!! XD (I know he's said before in mag interviews and such that he wants to learn English but never got around to it... Hm. I would volunteer to teach him if I ever ran into him on the train in Japan )

omg, this is going into a completely different topic, but I found the clip of Ohno's adult ceremony (age 20) a while back, and when the interview person was talking to him, they said something like "so what do you want to do now as an adult?" and Ohno says "learn English" so the interviewer asks, "so you would perfer a foreign girlfriend?" ohno says "yes, I think so" XDDD I was sooo happy with that... even though it was 5 years ago. XD

hello It's so happy to see arashi speak English. Hehe.

What program do you guys use to watch avi files? I've downloaded some but my realplayer, Divx player, and windows media won't play them... I want to watch the canadian grandparents part.

maki-chan! tadaima! hontou arigatou gozaimasu for responding!! haha, don't worry about what to respond too i'm just happy to hear you were reading my comments!

really? you've made my day! i didn't know the interviewer was asking Ohno that during his adult ceremony! *must dig up the clip to rewatch!* hahaha...oh, i'd be willing to teach him english too! haha..i am considering about the JET program..to teach english in japan..but won't happen until 2-3 yrs later cuz i need to make arrangements at work to have a year off. but i'm just counting my fingers..i'm gonna be so old by that time! XD i'm the same age as riida!! (believe it or not! haha) actually, he's older than me by a bit over a week. Even though that was 5 years ago, i hope that he still has interests in learning english...it may bring him more opportunities..maybe he'll be casted by some hollywood director too like Nino! hehe...like Tom Hanks or Steven Spielberg! i really think riida possess good acting skills...he may suit comedic roles well!

Arashi just seems so down to earth that it seems so probable that they can really be your friend if there was a chance to meet them..hahaha...or it's probably all in my head!

hey..maki-chan! just realized you're my neighbour! haha..down south..i think Arashi should do another special like the New York one..except i hope this time they would consider coming to Canada!!

really? hmm..maybe u need to dl new codecs? or make sure u have the newest version of the player. i usually use realplayer and it works fine..i am using version 10. windows media classic player works well too..it'll play anything..and i usually hear ppl recommending bs player too...hope that helps neighbour! hahaha...

Thank you, I'll upgrade my programs and see.
LOL, I just noticed you called Maki-chan a neighbor,too. ^_~ Hello Neighbor! I really want Arashi to come visit!!!

Rukia - Ohh, JET sounds like fun ne! But I think usually people who do JET never get placed in Tokyo, which is where our Arashi boys would be~. T_T I'm going to Japan for college next year (or so I SAY! my parents keep bugging me about where the money is gonna come from but I'll find a way...), so hopefully being in Tokyo I'll run into one of them at least once... (Haha, I wish!) I completely agree though that Arashi seems so down to earth they could easily be your friend.. ^^ If only there was a way to meet them I'm sure we'd get along so good.

And I think Oh-chan still has an interest in English! I don't know what it was I read it but I think it was some magazine interview that was more recent that 5 years ago where he said he wanted to learn English but just was too lazy or something XD I wonder if I can find that... But yeah it would be awesome if next he got to come to America to do a movie!! XD Then his English would get better for sure ;D

Oh, and yay I have TWO neighbors now! Are you perhaps in Vancouver, BC or there abouts rukia? :O Cause that's pretty close ne

Maki-chan: oh really? NO! haha..well, i hope i get lucky and get placed in Tokyo. i know of a classmate from high school who's currently teaching english in japan..i think she got placed in Tokyo..hmm..i have to ask another friend about her..going to japan for college next year! that would be uber cool!! haha..how does that work? u study abroad for a year and come back? well, i guess if i do go through with JET and end up in some other part of japan other than tokyo...well, i guess i'll have to take the bullet train and visit tokyo...haha..such wishful thinking!! who knows, maybe i'll even run into you in japan! hehe..

oh, it'll be cool if you are able to dig up that interview of Ohno's!

i'm not from vancouver, bc...though that is one place i'd like to visit one day..my friends thought about doing a road trip there..haha..probably would take days to get there!! i'm from toronto, ontario..i guess not that close to you but hey..it's not too too far either...at least not half way around the world! (like Arashi.... )

oh, i think this will be it for me tonight..haha..it's 1AM for me here..i suppose i should go to sleep..haha..considering i have work! i'll definitely come check the forum again after i get off work! hehe..it's been fun chatting! i feel less stressed now!
good night~ "i'll be back!" LOL

what exactly did Sho say to Ohno in the end

Sho asked Ohno to go out with him (literally "How about us too..."). Ohno's reaction was "Yuck! No way... What, you've changed?!" and then the bit right at the end where you can't actually see them, Sho says "Look, he's embarrassed! *mocking*" and Ohno says "Shut up! Why don't you try being a bit embarrassed about this!". Cuteness.

rukia88 wrote:

what did Sho say about Ohno's disguise for the karaoke club??

He says, "It's unexpectedly hard to tell that's you with just that as a disguise".

(I agree, I would miss him in the street and I wub Ohno. Also, Ohno looks schmexy in glasses and funky hats. So *whee*!)

rukia88 wrote:

and in the beginning of the ep, did Ohno talk about his trip to the studio via the train??

I'm doing this from memory as I already moved the file to VCD ^_^;

Sho: (to staff) This guy still rides the train!
Ohno: Hang on, don't you all?
Sho: No, we always get a car sent to the house.
Ohno: You're kidding!

Then Ohno goes on to explain the train was absolutely packed, and he wasn't able to grab a strap to hang onto, and because he didn't want to be mistaken for a groper (chikan) he had his hands across his chest. He was totally surrounded by women and desperately trying to keep his balance but he failed and fell over into another passenger. He said he was the only one dripping in sweet at the end of the ride. Poor Leader.

He said on Hanamaru Cafe that he won't ride the train unless he can stand in this one certain spot he likes (he'll wait for the next one!). I guess sometimes he has no choice but to ride anyway.

It's nice to see another fan who has Ohno as their favourite

thanks ohmani for the explanations! although i haven't even seen the clip myself.. hahaha

the part with him on the train is just too cute for words! not wanting to be mistaken for a groper! haha

the more i read about riida, the more i like him.. XD
ohno is fast becoming a favourite of mine.. how can he not be? he's got a great voice and he's choooooo kawaii!!

gomene sho-kun!!

riida riding train?!? i know he can't drive... but an idol riding trains?!? i think he is in disguise whenever he rides train.
