I dunno since when... but I fancy Arashi's B-sides more lately. Maybe its the ending song for MMA that got me. First, itsumademo and now, Still. Both are such genki-inducive songs!!!! Snowflake also kills. Conclusion - singles (LE) are good buys. hehe. Did not really fancy TIME album as much, a bit disappointed actualli. But it's ok, my support continues (^_^)

It's good to have a break from work. Thanks to chicken pox. I am having fun downloading again. Download, download - but I have lost the momentum to watch what I download! My list of 'episodes' of whatever to watch is going HAYWIRE. Can't catch up...but! I still enjoy downloading hehe. I keep thinking one day I will watch, but will I ever find time? Maybe, when I quit my job ;)

I finally solved my LJ problem!!!!! It's time to be back in business!!!!! 

AHHHHH ureshii na~~~

jpop and arashi, here i come  ^_^

Back from my Tokyo Johnny's holiday... too much to catch up on LJ, CB, forums and what not ~~ but ever so happy that its SO active ne *jumps*

I'm sure most Arashi fans will know about Aiba's Chinese Restaurant called "Keikarou" in Chiba... of course that is one of my priority itinerary place to visit. So here is my write up on the whole experience thingy... and to whoever who thinks it is difficult to find, too far from Tokyo etc etc (I was also disheartened that I almost did not go) --- let me urge ALL of you to NOT think this way!!! and I hope my write up will help whoever who aims to go there someday (^_^)

Now off to the loadful pictures and videos....an unforgettable 8 February 2007, Thursday lunch for me ~~~~~

So it happened on 24th December 2006...
Time: Wet rainy Sunday morning
Location: Singapore Mandai Zoo *tsk tsk* 
Itinerary: Follow Aiba's trail as what occurred for TSD! Followed by food, cake, laughter...and *drum roll* SUGOROKU the Arashian way, yippeezz!!



Aww...what a sweet picture! *nice choice, Wanzi!!* Ouch, it hurts to cut the cake...



SUGOROKU the Arashian way!! Note the wrong spelling of "STATR" and "GOOL" *lol* and I won 8 smexxy pretty Arashi pics by reaching the GOOL first!! yummy ~~ ok no stocking nonsense and nipple-revealing shirts as forfeits -- hello? we are in a public place *cough cough*  plus we are girls...hahaha....

Thanks for the great accompaniment - Wanzi, Jess, Rachael, Joycelyn...*hugz* 

And I hope everyone had a great smashing Christmas holiday season! *hearts*

This interview is so precious... now that our boys are popular with fame and all, it is always good to read on their past and their struggles, pain, sweat, blood, tears to come to where they are today... to remind me of Nino's version (my fav hehe), i decided to keep a copy on my own LJ.

 Ninomiya Kazunari

■ He’s considered a self-centered person from a card reading
■ In hotels, he takes off his shirt and walks around naked before entering the bathroom, Sho who’s in the same room hope that he will enter the bathroom then take off his shirt
■ After名古屋concert, just as everyone got ready to bathe before going to bed，Nino imitated Ohno’s solo concert performance wearing only an underwear, and everyone was cruel enough to refuse to sleep with him
■ he realised that his left pointer is as long as his middle finger, but it’s not like that on his right hand
■ he still remembers the Music Station performance in year 1999, October 8tt, because they all have to wear those transparent suit while singing, when they sweat, it looks like they’re only wearing underwears singing and dancing on the stage
■ he had to portray a character which is his total opposite (as he considers)—— a very smart yet cool person
■ he’s getting closer with Ohno, even during concert MC he kept talking secretly to Ohno behind the rest, this made Kame, who was in front, complain that he was really ‘mad’
■ during 名古屋 concert when Nino and Ohno are changed and prepared to get on stage again, Nino sang to Ohno in those two nights.... is it a love song?!
■ Because Nino has serious posture problem, his mom bought him a waistband to help correct this problem, but then his mom didn’t know how to use it, so he too never used it
■ Lately, his ‘sitting height’ have grown 1cm taller,
■ Loves to play games, he won’t even stop when there’s an earthquake, his longest record is 9 hours
■ When he watches his own performances，he calls himself ‘Kimura Takuya #2’
■ he hates sweet food
■ he loves saving money

Ripped more Nino MMA solos...the songs are all soothing to the ear with Nino's guitar and gentle voice *melts* ...sorry for the talking interruptions in some of them (cant remove them) but they can be quite heartwarming to listen to actually ~~
