Tiny moments make me crazy

[eggchan]

I'm not really sure how something this subtle and small could have touched me so much, but I had to rewind the DVD while I was watching it. I seem to be moved by very small occurrences lately, but I suppose that's not a bad thing.

At first, I didn't notice Sho had walked up behind Nino and slinked his arms around him, but after the fireworks shot off, I noticed it, which prompted me to rewind. And then watch it 50 times.



I was.... actually really touched by this really small movement. Sho moved slowly behind Nino, then touched him lightly on the sides to alert him that he was there before he wrapped his arms around his waist. It seemed like a moment that has happened a million times before--something that I feel is an extremely important part of a friendship. It just appeared to be such a familiar gesture to Nino, the moment he felt Sho behind him he gently lifted his arms without flinching or looking behind him, and reached around to touch him ever so slightly. And then right before the fireworks go off, Sho pulls the hug into Nino's chest.

On second thought, no. This isn't a hug. It's like a sense of security having your best buds around, there for you to hold on to or lean back on whenever the need arises. To be close to one another and just have someone nearby that you love and loves you back that isn't your mother, or your father, your siblings, or your boyfriend.

These kind of things used to happen around me and my friends and I kind of wish I didn't take it for granted. Friendship this close is something that doesn't come by that often. I'm just glad that it happened to come around these five people because they really have something special and we all get to watch it unfold into some kind of beautiful mess.

I think I am falling very far from this, and I'm really in need of getting it back. I was able to have it once again for a few fleeting months in Japan, and I will never forget it.

......

I think only I could come up with something this far-fetched from a gif of two guys spooning. -_-;

I thank god I have two people to act that way around in real life. And five people to do it in my fandom! ;D

T^T and don't ever take that for granted. I'm still looking for my special friends in the world

I feel like a bad fan for asking! but what DVD is this from?

[eggchan.livejournal.com]

It's from the Aozora Pedal Making of DVD, which is soooooo cute omg T__T

[missmomoko.livejournal.com]

ooh thank you! I have seen this already so I think this calls for a REWATCH!! :D

[hot-chocolat.livejournal.com]

awww. I wish I could be that close with friends.

I love what you've said about it and that you noticed it in the first place. We make fun of them so much but on the other side it's why we love them. It's like you've got your public side that's making cool and jokey comments and your private side that sees the love behind the acitons. I think it's kind of a Western thing that we have to be all jokey about it.

So while myself and other fans often make fun I know that in everyone's heart we love those 5 together so much. Maybe those feelings are so precious that's why we don't often share them. And maybe we don't need to coz I know most of us all feel the same way.

I know how you feel exactly. I miss you and Japan. I miss having really close relationships even if it was only for the summer. Sitting in yamamoto house hall talking rubbish to each other at 2am.
I should have hugged you more.






Still, I'll see you again. The world is only so wide <3

you're so adorable. I miss you T^T

[yay-box.livejournal.com]

pfff, it's not that at all. sho's just afraid of fireworks and uses nino as a shield, that bastard << (ok, joking, i love these two, sho and his tiny bff for who he'd do anything, aw <3)

[eggchan.livejournal.com]

i know it's sooooo cute T__T

[love-kat-tun.livejournal.com]

now you made me stare at it for hours !
KYA!!!
I love you !!

[matineelove.livejournal.com]

that was sweet anyway :D in that they are so comfortable with each other~

[daone-shh.livejournal.com]

nah. it isnt far fetched at all. but few ever put it in words so.. precisely?
i only made it this far in life because i've friends who are so precious.

i dont know about you, but i think these things start to hit you hard in the face as we 'age' and find that everyone is becoming very busy with their own lives. but ganbatte ne! as long as you put in effort, and your friends put in effort.. you'll still be able to experience it :D

[eggchan.livejournal.com]

yeah it definitely has, but.. I just feel like I'm not THAT old yet. XD;; and yet my social life is that of a 40 year old mother (i.e. no social life :\)

[sujaeya.livejournal.com]

That's it. You're getting hugs when I get home :P

<3

I miss living in south Texas for this reason. I live in Colorado now, and most of the people I've met are not as 'hands-on' if you will.

I miss being around a less physically conservative culture. :( So I sympathize with you. It boggles my mind that Arashi is ok with doing in on tv... Japan was/has always been really against PDA from what I understood... maybe because its them? Lol.

[eggchan.livejournal.com]

haha yeah it seems that idols are okay to do that stuff, but... it's not otherwise? XD If so, I wanna be an idol if I ever live in Japan hahaha

[torowa.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they would expect it from foreigners. XD At least, that's what I've heard.

[mystical-mayhem.livejournal.com]

Yeah it's really hard to maintain close friendships like that when people venture out and start their 'adult' lives. It's like a cycle, you make friends, you lose friends. You're still really young and have lots of time to find and establish those close friendships you're looking for. ^^ And I know there are people out there that care about you and see you as a close friend. So chin up! Those happy times are right around the corner~!

I thought you were extremely likable and super entertaining, so it's only a matter of time~! Karaoke again sometime soooon~! I must marvel at your M.I.B. skills once more~!

You have great observational skills. I really have a soft spot for those kinds of things, and it's really great to see just how strong their bond is with one another. I think the fact that it's a genuine friendship between the five is the reason the fans love them so much. We can actually feel it from them ^^

[eggchan.livejournal.com]

haha singing (....rapping..?) M.I.B. was so nostalgic holy crap! Karaoke was super fun, and I hope we can get together for Yatterman sometime soon! :D

Thanks for this whole comment, it really cheered me up ^^

i guess i was too busy staring at jun to notice this awesome moment. thanks for pointing it out! it reminds me of the iza! now backstage shots when sho offers his hand to nino, and they end up walking hand in hand down the hallway. i love these special moments. <3

Kudos to you for actually noticing this small, yet precious moment and sharing it with all of us. Seeing how close Arashi members are always brightens up my day; It somehow reminds me that such close friendship does exist as to be honest, I've never experienced one. I long for a friendship like theirs, in which they can accept each other's weaknesses, provide support to each other in their times of need, and not too mention truly enjoy each and every moment spent between all five of them while being themselves.
Arashi might not have the best vocals around, nor are they the sexiest and the most good looking men available in the whole wide world. They're not perfect, either. But they choose to live with it rather than being pretentious, unlike me. And they still manage to have fun. Anyone can see how they laugh whole-heartedly when they're being among themselves. I envy that, really. How I wish I don't have to pretend to be someone I'm not just to have friends. How I wish I have friends who'll accept my weaknesses just as they are and not condemning me for it. How I wish to laugh the laughter that springs from heart, not the fake ones. How I wish I have a friendship like Arashi's.

Umm, sorry for the long comment. I was being suddenly sentimental.^^::
