lol yeah me included

I don't like that they changed the rules for the Jumping Shooter game slightly :no & they don't look good in army prints in the latest VS ARASHI episode as well .

& omg I never seen an episode before where the 1/2 of the comedic duo TKO dropped the 2 coins & then eventually the whole thing came down just like that :roflmao

Download the HEYx3 performances & raw talk separately via http://sableheart.livejournal.com/11691.html

as much as I like the live performances , I think the guys are a bit tad casually dressed especially for One Love . Like where're the suits ?

but ah heck it :bchuck

OMFG I HAVE TO WATCH THE HEYHEYHEY! PERFORMANCE NOW :thud

EDIT: OMFG THEY ALL LOOKED SO DAMN HOT :smitten aiba is totally working his new haircut and hair color :luv2 both performances were outstanding. the switch from one love to truth was just amazing. :D

:D

Downtown made fun of Nino , saying that his scarf's so long :bchuck

that I have to agree

album - not anytime soon & no I didn't watched Ryusei no Kizuna

latest AnS for download - http://haruno21.livejournal.com/46207.html

NACHO~! :D

Ryusei no Kizuna's pretty good! you don't see Ryo beating people up in this drama, LMAO (but i miss Sosuke!Ryo. that psycho. xDDDD). i think you'll like it more towards the ending. i can't wait to see the final episode this week. all the suspense is killing me. :dead2

the humor might seem over-the-top, esp in the first couple epis, but it's good!

my younger sister is watching it currently & she said that somehow they don't tend to stick to the plot as the one you read in the book

I don't know though cos I don't watch the show & :rofl at your comments at Ryo

you mean you actually don't mind to see him beating people in dramas ?! :roflmao

RnK is pretty good. in all honesty, i didn't enjoy it as much as i enjoyed Maou. but yea, i miss SOUSUKE!RYO too :weep i think i need to re-watch last friends again before the year's over :weep

the b-sides are the best songs on the whole single :yes

lol

erm actually Beautiful days was released last month so it's not really that recent techincally

:yes agree

OMGDEFINITELY. b-sides >>>>>> Beautiful days

iTunes says i only played "Beautiful days" once. LMAO. :laugh

UMMM, WELL. IT'S KINDA HARD TO EXPLAIN.

i think the fact that Ryo was a playing tortured soul kinda...got to me. i tend to like j-drama characters with a little more substance or seem to be the not-so-typical "good" guy (i love the complexity of Kiritani Shuuji's character played by Kame in Nobuta. wo Produce).

i really love characters that conflict. love/hate characters, haha!

yea, i think arashi's singles this year were all really good. eventually, BD grew on me though, lol. but i still can't say it's their best song. but overall, it was a very good single :yes now i need to search youtube for the best artist performance :P

OMFG JUN WHY ARE YOU SO HOT :smitten he came late because he was at the GQ ceremony. guess who was selected as man of the year under singer/actor? :lech HELL YEAH :D he totally deserves it, lol.

anyway, One Love & Kaze no Mukou e!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C6JWtwnFqE

:love

well to me Beautiful days's a grower & after you get past that stage , it sounds great .

Anyway Kaori you shouldn't be bothered on what other non ARASHI fans think about the guys's music because it's their loss & our gain :laugh

oh yeah he so deserves it :D

I never would have guessed that Arashi was popular with 50 year old men :confused

LOL. seriously? :laugh that's kinda....disturbing :laugh

I thought I was reading the poll wrong at first LOL. but wow I'm interested to see like KAT-TUN, Kinki Kid's etc. polls now :shakehead

OMG. :lmfao
that's hilarious.

OMFG MIKA NINAGAWA. I EFFING LOVE HER WORK.
check out her google images: click!

her work inspires mine.

oh god. i just ran a "YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS NOW" thought through my brain. :weep

but it's arashi, irene! you mean your not anti-arashi anymore? haha! :laugh

lol, i'm still somewhat. anti-arashi. but hell, if the calendar is as great as her other works, HOT DAMN, i will put down money for it. LMAO. at least it's not music, yeah? tehehe.

but wow. JE is sure giving Arashi all the good things now. I MEAN, GEEZ, MIKA NINAGAWA?!?! i LOVE her photos of Oguri Shun & Narimiya Hiroki.

ugh. another reason why JE ruins my life. :laugh

:rofl

me neither . I think it's their variety shows that's helping 50 year old men ?

I know :dead2

:roflmao

I feel for you Irene

my younger sister might be preordering the calendar from the local Kinokuniya bookshop after both of us were there last week & that they're taking preorders for JE calendars & that refers to all the ones listed on YesAsia & CDJapan :thud

surprisingly , it's cheaper preordering from Kino than if you were to get it online

========

I posted this in the ARASHI LJ community - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/1182202.html

have you guys heard of MatsuJun no Uta & Sketch ? :shrug

I listened to Sketch & MatsuJun no Uta earlier on . Sketch's NICE . MatsuJun no Uta's a bit eh in terms of the title & the song but I supposed it's fitting cos it was written for MatsuJun's 20th bday

anyway ...

this week's HEYx3 been subbed via http://dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com/49102.html & VS ARASHI episode 32 been subbed via http://yinghung.livejournal.com/6023.html

that VS ARASHI episode where Banana Man made an appearance & when Sakurai's butt landed at the camera man :laugh

OMG that's my favorite episode! i gotta see that with subs, lol.

haha

I watched the HEYx3 with subs earlier on & eeewwwww , hentai much ?! :dead2

now I'm not going for a massage ever due to this :dead2

i don't really care, since, it didn't beat LIPS for the ORICON year cut-offs. lol. but hey, congrats nevertheless. it's Arashi's year. :yes

haha that's the spirit :laugh

I still can't believe that Beautiful days were trailling behind LIPS for a mere 26 copies :thud

URL - http://cdjapan.jp/d.html?KEY=TCED-429

so expensive @_@

Yeah, agreed. That's really expensive.....:thud

I swear because of this , I'm probably not going to take foot in a massage palor in the near future because of what Nino , Aiba & Sakurai went though in Shanghai :dead2

I know Alice @_@

omg :thud , that's really something

I hope the OS press of it will be made available soon :grumpy I already saw so many copies of Kurosagi on sale here so I hope that will follow suit

I'm sure that'll happen very soon, Karen, since HYD is popular. You won't have to wait too long~

hope you're right on that Alice because HMV's selling the soundtrack & the movie was aired here in Sept in 1 major cinema distributor instead of 4 cinemas distributors so hopefully it will be out here in due time :D

amazing! it's totally deserved :D did a RAW leak online yet?

the one on MySoju's like a fancam right? :P
i was watching it like, "...UGH HQ PLZ". haha.

i hope the movie is good (i didn't watch it all yet). i read spoilers and was going, "WTF" throughout the whole thing. especially at this one particular scene w/ Tsukushi. o_o;;

i only saw 5 or 6 parts out 8 (i think) of the movie on mysoju. i kinda got too lazy to get back to it :laugh i plan to finish it, though. eventually. :P

i'm waiting to buy HYD F when I am in Tokyo in the next few weeks ^^

pics of the guys in the latest Myojo (well just the cover & Nino) - http://www.yuseong.ws/nino/

I want HQ scans now :smitten

well, well what do we have here: HANA YORI DANGO FINAL (RAW)

xD

^ :O

I still will wait for the DVD release to be out here & I hope it wouldn't be like Kurosagi in that they have 2 editions where 1 comes with only chinese subtitles & the other one with eng & chinese subtitles & that there's a price & package difference between the 2 :eviltongu

oddly though , when both movies were released in the local cinemas here , it wasn't credited as HYD Final or Kurosagi but instead they made the titles westernised .

Like for HYD Final , it's Boys Over Flowers The Movie while Kurosagi , it's The Black Swindler

they should retain the original Japanese titles for the movies but oh never mind :dead2

there was actually a HYDF special with inoue mao on TBS just now, lol.

i'll probbably watch the movie RAW next week, if subs are out. :P

Look what I found while leafing through the MAS airlines in-flight entertainment catalogue!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_0752.jpg

I was just too excited to find out they have Hanadan!

wow, goes to show how popular HYD is! :D

^ yup :D

man I would love to hear ARASHI's songs being played when I'm on the plane & not to mention watch HYD Final onboard

that will be sweet :love

ok I can't resist this but I 'stole' this avater from http://yuckie-chan.livejournal.com/ :

http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/83042186/9926539

:roflmao

I can't help but being traumaised by the whole massage issue at HEYx3 still :dead2

it's bad for the guys to keep picking/bullying Sakurai :grumpy . If it's not him , then it's Ohno or Aiba

I realise Nino & MatsuJun wouldn't be the ones getting bullied but instead it's always these 2 that're doing the bullying , tsk

LOL i love that :laugh the boys are so perverted :P

Lol, the avatar is so funny! I read Sakurai's Johnny's web blog translations; he explained how embarrasing it was but I didn't expect it to be THAT embarassing!

:roflmao

for me I'm surprised that they're quite liberal in this aspect

:rofl

now I'm never going to a massage palor in the near future because of this :innocent

you can download the HEYx3 that has been subbed via http://dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com/49102.html

yamapi is gonna be on VS arashi on January 10th! :P this should be fun, lol.

^Cool! I wondered when the next JE boy/man will be on. Hopefully they'll get more JE guest in the future. ^^ I'd like Yoko and Hina. It would be hilarious! x3 Or why not Nishikido? Since he starred in RnK together with Nino. Or Toma, because he was in "Maou". Or... or... or.....

Is it already known, with whom Yamapi will be on?

i dunno who else will come with him, but it's promotion for the "Code Blue" SP, so maybe another cast member? (i hope erika toda goes on too, haha. her and nino together again :P)

oh wow :thud

he will be on the show on my birthday @_@ , must watch !

Scans of Nino in Josei Jishin 30/12 - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/1188712.html

gorgeous :smitten

isn't there an SP during january, too? when i was watching this week's VS arashi just now, at the end, they showed clips from a SP that will be on january 10th, i think. same day as yamapi? i dunno. :P

yayyyyyy guess what my younger sister bought for me earlier on when we went to the local HMV ?



it's made in S'pore :thud in that InnoForm Media Pte Ltd was given the license to manufacture & distributed the DVD here !

HMV is selling it in either VCD or DVD format in which both editions come in Chinese & Japanese dialogue with English & Chinese subtitles .

Even though the VCD's priced much much cheaper than the DVD at S$14.95 , I still went for the DVD which cost S$23.95

yayyyy & initally I wanted Aoyama Thelma's debut album DIARY but it went outta stock so this will do :smitten

& I should add that it comes with a slipcase too whee <3 . The VCD didn't came with 1 though

^ Congratulations on getting your HYD DVD, Karen! You must be super happy right now.

kaori, I'm very curious why you hate Yamapi right now? :lech

Thanks Alice & yes of course I'm . Somemore it's my younger sister that bought for me so I have to be :laugh

ditto on that too Alice :innocent

lucky karen! :grumpy enjoy the DVD! :P lol.

:bchuck

I'm watching it now actually Lisa

the guys are at Hong Kong now :laugh

oh damn Kaori , when will you break start ? Christmas that week ?

I just finished watching the DVD earlier on . Ah what memories especially when One Love was played at the end of the movie <3

it's my #1 drama, too. i can never get tired of it. :smitten i feel bad that i already saw most of the movie, but oh well, lol. :P

aw bless :(

here's to Kaori's Christmas vacation in due time :D

didn't you say that you already watched 6 parts outta the 8 parts mysoju.com uploaded on their site ?

watch the final 2 parts Lisa ! Something funny will happen prior to the end of the movie in which I'm not going to say what it's but I was going :rofl when that came on

you know what I mean in due time ;p

yea i did, which is practically the whole movie already :laugh i already saw the wedding scene on youtube, though. and i already read about what happens in the end too, haha. but i wanna watch it when i download the RAW. like kaori, i'll probbably do it during my break too :P

ah ok bet you're looking forward to your break & I'm sure the same thing echos for Kaori too :yes

have you guys watched this week's VS ARASHI ? at least their outfits are not as terrible as last week although I'm wondering what's with the big alphabet on the guys's shirts ?

like for Sakurai it's a big red A while for MatsuJun it's D which probably stands for DoS or Domoyoji .

For once I'm glad that they lost this week cos they were getting too big headed a few weeks ago although I was shocked that the male guest got 300 points for the falling pipe :thud

in one scene during the falling pipes, sho's eyes went SO BIG!! :laugh i was laughing so muh, he looked so cute.

I will do that if I were him . I iterally went @____@ when that happened when I watched it with my younger sister

The guys are featured in the Duet January 2009 - The Best of Duet 2008 Scans -- http://shatteredtenshi.livejournal.com/188487.html

omg...just watching this is making me download the HYD movie today, lol. maybe i'll watch it today instead of next week. that's what i get for being junbaited :smitten

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ht3S...eature=related

:smitten i love his acting in this scene, lol.

....that was just a scene from HYD 2, lol. nothing you didn't see before, kaori! :laugh

but i watched the whole movie this afternoon. LOVED IT. i'm crying right now from the ending, lol. SO CUTE OMFG :smitten

i love you, jun. i really REALLY do! :weep

EDIT: OMFG i feel so ashamed to watch this :irked
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onYVX...eature=related
it's like a michael jackson and justin timberlake ripoff, but worse :weep jun better not dance like that EVER AGAIN! :laugh but i do admit that he was hot, as usual :smitten

anyway, i never knew that this song "once again" was on the Dream "A" live album. anyone heard it before? it's AMAZING. :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc8xSbt6e7Y

yes it's a great song Lisa & pity that it's available in the regular & NOT 2CDs limited edition of DAL :eviltongu

I do hope that the guys will announce the release of their DAL tour & AAA tour DVDs in due time :love

This song is so good! No wonder it was the extra track on the regular edition~

yeah it totally pawns the 5 solo songs in the 2CDs LE unfortunately :no
