Turning back time all over again

TWO WORDS:

GIMMICK GAME


Unsurprisingly I did contribute to the so-called "success" of Gimmick Game in the Ara-fest polls. #iregretnothing! XD (Icon is fitting too! COOL.)

Btw, in case you're curious, I voted for songs that weren't as popular in the fandom, just so they'd get some votes, lol. Here:
( Read more... )

I missed this. ♥ And I've missed you all! :3 Love love for you~

WAY LONG OVERDUE. I KNOW. But since we’re in the holiday season, I hope you’ll forgive me, y/y? This will tide you guys over before the Fukuoka concert happens and the DVD is released, right? :D?

And this is in line of me celebrating two weeks since watching the concert! Time flies so fast, huh.


Disclaimer: (As it is my first time going to the concert and writing the report :D)
1. I really have a faulty memory at times, so I might forget some details here and there, but the worst I could do is that I wouldn’t be able to place accurately the correct depiction of events to the correct song. I’m pretty sure it’s in there somewhere though, so just bear with me in case that happens, lol. ^^;;
2. The things I remembered, probably, are the ones I want to remember, due in part with the flailing pattern I have with barefootprint, such as regarding dance routines and favorite pairings’ antics.
3. I honestly do not understand Japanese, so the speaking parts I only remembered are the MCs, because thankfully I understood most of it. *wipes sweatdrop*
4. Frequent change of tenses. I’m a grammar nazi, but I broke this rule just this one time because I want to express everything here. I didn’t want a simple problem like keeping consistency of the tenses used get in the way, so. Really sorry about that.
5. What else? Oh and please no bashing :( I just really want to share what happened! Take your whining and nitpicking somewhere else.

If you read all of that, I’ll give you a virtual cookie. BUT the rest is just as long as that, so you ought to be just as patient. XD (I actually blabber too much. :o )


Pre-Concert
( Are you used to reading novels? Well, this is one. Sort of. )


So there, I finally posted it. Questions are welcome, btw. |D The experience with the concert goods though is different, but I can only say that even with that many people, I was able to buy all the goods (and おみやげ!) in just an hour. The JE staff is so efficient, as my friend in Tokyo had previously told me. :D

♥♥♥♥♥

While we're having a leeway for my next Trip to Japan post (since I fail so much at being on time orz), I shall give you a macro. This was, again, because my bb barefootprint and I were flailing so much on Nino's FLIX October 2010 scans. Basically cross-posting from lolzstorm, lol.

( As I call it: For Nino's bitches )

Also: No, I'm not competing with the other macros that have spawned because of Nino's scandal. They were all too awesome. ♥

*sings instead* "If I was your girl, oh, the things I'd do to you..." ♫ *shot*

KAIBUTSU-KUN IS SO CUTE. /random

Before I give updates, I shall catch your attention using an adorable (? I consider it funny tbh) Aiba gif:



Now that I have your attention... 8D


I know what to do on Nino's birthday! o/
My LJ friends on Twitter might have already known about this but, in case you don't, I shall be doing a picspam. A little old-fashioned as far as the fandom is concerned, but I won't fail you if I do decide to accompany it with lengthy descriptions. I don't want it to end up like a giant-ass essay though.
Ooh, and kitsie_chan suggested that I do a themed picspam. Not that I don't think I can do it (you know, actually come up with a theme and stuff like that), but I might restrict myself to like a theme. Just wait and see. :D

( Nodame the movie *SPOILERS!!!* and boring RL stuff )

Shiyagare, Sakumoto and Sho
Shiyagare first ep, to be precise. (But I have watched Shimuken's too, and well, Arashi as Baka Tono freaks me out tbh. XD) I loved the entire episode, simply because in fairness, the roles that were given to them were quite fitting (except Jun's, but hey, the boy's getting less uptight nowadays, right? ;D) and Sho kept cracking me up with his ~*knowledge bits*~. Nino's "ARE YOU IN MANNER MODE?!" also killed me because it was cute how he did it >.<.

And of course there's Sakumoto. This pairing, although has been part of my OT3 (with Aiba-chan :3), was not as abundant as it was two years ago when I started fangirling them, but since they'd had history together (yes I am making it sound like a drama), the affections between them are gearing up all over again. IDK, Jun's getting back to the Let's-Fanboy-Sho bandwagon and Sho's not as uptight as he was 10 years ago, so. IDK. (I love how Sho told everyone in AnShi about the concert date they had, though. XD)

Aaaand of course no one will believe me if I say that Sho has NOT been my niban for the past few weeks. Ohno and Aiba became my nibans in the past two months, and Jun in increments, so Sho did not have a chance. Until that Shiyagare episode. His 「ヤダ～！」 reaction in the haggling segment is so adorable. :3 ...actually I just included this bit so I could complete 3S's in the title. *bricked*


As as afterthought: My sister* keeps insisting that she thinks Matsumoto Jun is gay. And I'm like, "Really, how could you possibly think that?" |D


*She loves Sho. ...no wonder, right? XD

HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT. I had a dream about MatsuJun. A homosexual dream about MatsuJun—*bricked*

But really, I'm not kidding. I wish I was.
So this was how it went:

There was this 24hrTV-like event, on which Jun and Aiba were supposed to go to a rural place (much like a normal rural province in my country) to in order to help for a day a woman who had 17 children... and limited herself to 20 kids if ever. (...I know. XD) So at some point the two help the family set up a picnic outside their house, lots of kids running around, and Aiba started to lay the mat on the floor. Jun arrived late (just like I always think he does XD) bringing some food with him.

THEN. A boy who's about 15 years old suddenly rushed to MatsuJun and then surprised him with a confession rant (or something). He went on and went on about how cool Jun is, basically, and then wrapped his arms around Jun's neck and kissed him! (I wish I really was just making this up. XD) Of course our little Junnie was shocked at first but then, um... yeah. I don't know why my imagination is so vivid sometimes. orz

My dream jumped to a scene where the boy was arguing with his mother in their home (sans AibaJun), which then led to a bedroom scene with the mom and her husband (lolol). Which did not happen at all because the husband did not really want to do it. LOL. Then the mom complained about how her son was misbehaving, etc. and how dare he to actually go on with Jun and Aiba.

...then the scene in the car. Aiba and Jun headed back to Tokyo – the boy was actually with them – and Aiba was driving; the boy was sitting on the passenger seat and Jun at the back (I guess the logic behind this is that Jun wanted to stretch out his legs or something XD). THE END.

( Because I can connect it with my RL :D )


Btw, I loved that guesting on Utaban. Did you see how hot Nino was? *____* Taka-san will never not be funny to me. XDD (And Sho and Nino are gay? *gasp*)


Oh and my next post would be my first day in Japan. Look forward to it! :)

A few things:

- I haven't been updated with Arashi these past few days (but I will later, I just need enough time), but I do know that AnS is ending. It's good that Arashi will have a new show, but, isn't it that HnA and VSA are doing all that for them? They don't need another one to catapult them into further popularity – they don't need it anyway. I will miss all the stupidity and perversion and randomness and Ogu-san and. :((((

- So, apparently, hakka_candy and I have been spazzing for weeks now whenever a new preview for GANTZ or Oh-oku comes out (which reminds me: WHERE ARE MY OH-OKU PREVIEWS?!?!). And Betty! I have found a new something – which I'm not sure whether you already saw or not, not that it matters anyway – here. It's a set of magazine scans that showed Gantz behind the scenes. But I'm on a different computer and I haven't seen them yet, but it may very well be promising at best. :D
...and yes, it means we should flail more. XD

ETA: I SAW THE SCANS ALREADY. AND KASFJDKLASDFAS. JUST AS I SUSPECTED, I NEED VIDEO PREVIEWS. TRAIN SCENE~! *SQUEALS*

Hmm, is it just me or did MatsuKen gain weight? :/ Also, ROFLing at the sight of Nino standing side-by-side with MatsuKen. Oh the height difference. XD *bricked*

ETA again: ...and another cast announcement, I think. This guy (he's in the Gokusen movie?) blogged that he would play Sakurai Hiroto. I'm actually reading his story arc right now – coincidentally XD – so the character appears in the 108th chapter (Gosh I am so slow).

- I saw depressing photos during the last day of (some of) the crew at The Tonight Show. It is truly depressing. ;_____; I can't believe NBC had the guts to do that to 200+ people just to save someone's *cough* job. sfkldfjdsklfafd

- Finished You're Beautiful! :) I swear it has nothing to do with the drama, but I always hate it when a drama ends per se. I guess I'm not into so much drama before the ending or something. It kind of depresses me. (I know I'm weird.) Current song stuck in my head: Promise. XD Also, Jeremy Tae Kyung!! ♥

- And I think I have found a new obssession. It's fascinating (for me at least) because:
1. I do have a weird taste and now I feel like I'm the only one fangirling him to the ends of the earth;
2. Weirdly as well, I realize he has a cute lazy eye and he's like the third person who has a lazy eye that I love so much; and
3. I'm glad he's solo for most part.
...er yeah. I just felt the need to vent it. XD *bricked*


So sorry if it's just a block of text. XD I'll make it up in the next entry (I hope). ♥

First of all:

As promised! NEW LAYOUT (still uncustomized though) AND HEADER!
\o/ \o/ \o/

jadenmd jadenmd jadenmd jadenmd
jadenmd jadenmd jadenmd jadenmd

And I posted because I couldn't resist this:

Because really, who can resist Sho's ~*legs*~?

( And one gif for the road || Clue: It's Nino ;D )

I lied about having not to post after my last one two days ago. LOL. Well, it's better this way, because I've been able to take my mind off things. Not only just school. Why is liking someone so difficult ugh


Off to karaoke~! ;P ♥

Getting to the more important things first...

Happy Birthday, waku_waku! ♥
You're one of the most dedicated Nino fans I've ever met, and I actually envy you for that, lol. ♥ I've read that you got your dream job recently, so congratulations!! Hope there's more good things in store for you. ^___^


There's nothing to talk about other than Gantz, right? No? :(

( As usual, news and updates in bits and pieces ^^;; )


Oh and one last random fact: I have been doubting whether or not Nino can actually drive, because I haven't seen him do it (Aiba, Jun and Sho I have), and my prayers have been answered when I saw that preview for MMA (which apparently I haven't watched yet) after the 101st special. So guess you could say I'm oddly turned on with that one. *shot again*


G'night lovelies. I have hanging homework which I have to do tomorrow morning instead because my dad would not go to bed until I do, so. ♥♥♥

Well, it's because I'm on a very short vacation and I don't have someone to flail with, aside from my dad and my sister... and they're not even that into Arashi! LOL. Anyway, as expected, this might turn out into full-fledged fangirling post like most of my posts. You have been warned? ♥?

Firstly: Inoue Mao on HnA!!
SO FREAKIN' EXCITED. Not only because I'm a hardcore Mao/Jun fan (I'd believe it if it's real, srsly), but also because I strongly believe Nino has a crush on Mao. (I know somewhere there's another evidence, but all I can say is that listen to the WISH Secret Talk. You'll know why. 8D) So yeah, I hear she could be on VIP Room? One of the best segments on HnA yet. I approve of everything here, so hard. LOL. Especially that she seems to be getting along well with Arashi in general. :D

( Secondly: Speaking of Nino!crushes... )

Lastly, inspired by Nino's letter and constant listening to 5x10:
I'm glad that I met you. ^___^
And yes, that includes all of you ♥♥♥♥♥


ETA: Had my icons revamped, and so I invaded some of my friends' comms. ^^;;
BIG HUGS TO micodeavi, hakka_candy and theproudpenguin!!! ♥ I'm sorry I had to steal too many even though clearly I'm not going to use them all. l-lol.

Okay, first of all, sorry for not checking my flist lately. .__. For the past two weeks, I've had no decent internet connection, and my heavenly WiFi connection at home was temporarily restricted. Fine, no more excuses. XD I hope you're all okay, though. ♥

Btw, for those who read and commented on my Nino birthday post, here are three big hearts for youuu~
♥♥♥
Because you all had enough patience to read it I love you guys. :D ♥


So anyway, it's my first week back at work, and I was always overtime. FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK, FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT. I kept going home at no earlier than 6PM. Not that I mind though, I have extra pay for that. ROFL. And highlight of the week: being told by my boss not to say sorry to employees too much. xD

But no, seriously, *my* highlight of the week: being given a 3-piece pack of Oreo on Nino's birthday. :D

( This was how everything went, as told in a third-person point-of-view. (Hey, I'm in a mood for writing OKAY.) )

---

On a more Nino!related news: A meme I've done before, but number 4 was missing (and I found it!!) so I'm posting it again. This time the complete version. :D


1. Do you like this person?
Well. 100% of my flist knows that I do, and of course, now my family is entirely aware of that too. R-Really. And having this as my cellphone wallpaper says a lot, doesn't it?

2. How do you call this person?
The bastard. Nino. Neen. I'm tempted to call him my husband but many girls already do that, and I don't think he'd like it in the slightest.
But seriously, most of the time I call him just Nino, and I think that's a bit weird. I don't have any affectionate terms for him unlike Jenny has for Sho, or Joanna has for Ohno. Hmm.

3. Which color do you associate with this person?
Yellow, obviously. Although sometimes blue, for some reason my mind is too twisted to think that way. But definitely the color of the sun, which ironically, he hates so much.

4. What do you like best about his/her look?
NECKKKKK *A-AHEM*. Typically I go for lanky guys, so there's no wonder why Nino's body structure isn't really much of a problem for me. That's one. Hairstyle-wise, I like that most of the time, his bangs are longer than the back part, whatever you call that. AND OMG HIS SKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN--okay I'll stop now. L-LOL.

5. Looking at his/her character, what blood type do you think he/she have?
This is clearly an Asian thing, I noticed (Korea does this too right? Well maybe at least from the East), and although I belong in that region, I have no idea how this works. I believe he has blood type A? ...this doesn't matter right?

6. What do you want to tell that person?
Oh man, I've never thought about this. (Clearly I don't think I'd have enough sanity to actually speak to him in coherent sentences. And don't get me started with using Japanese. orz) But since this was already brought up... um. I think I'd end up praising him for his musical abilities, like writing and playing instruments, maybe even dancing. Because that's why I liked him in the first place, hehe. /fail

7. What do you want to do with this person: hug, kiss or shake hands?
I'm all for hugs, so definitely that. *melts in her seat just thinking about it* But kissing is not out of the question. Ohohoho~ :D

8. Pick five of your friends and pick one person for them.
Still not picking. XD Friends, please feel free to do it. LOL.


And kitsie_chan, I still haven't got a photo of my "pets" (not really pets lol), so I'll have to postpone the photo meme in a while. But rawr, I'll be going to Manila tomorrow instead. Woot! My Sunday will not be spent away from home. :D

I'll be seeing you lovelies. ♥
