I should be sleeping because I'm so exhausted.

But I couldn't sleep without saying this:


They played this over and over and over and all I can see is a woman


Ohno is so obviously enjoying the shit out of this

"But I can't feel my nipples anymore!!"
"SHADDUP WE'RE ON LIVE TV -- Sorry everyone. Sorry."
I LOVE YOU


RAARRR


JUN GETS PWND AND THEY ALL WIN. WINNERS I SAY.

And I will say it again and again -- I love whoever designs their outfits now and I love whoever choreographs their dances. NEVER GET RID OF THEM JOHNNY. EVER.

Can I also say -- it's times like this when I am so thankful that I can understand Japanese otherwise I would have been confused as HELL during the entire thing.

ALSO WHO THE HELL ASKS ARASHI WHY THEY GRABBED EACH OTHER'S BUTTS.

WHO.

I have not properly fangirled about the 5x10 DVD on my LJ yet.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I had some of the local girls come over and had a little viewing party. It was marvelous. And we even had some awesome decorated cupcakes and cookies

But. Can I just say...

 Arashi was so...


  So...


 SO...


...Happy.

It makes me happy, too.


And this just--ahjkldgha;dg

I started making a few gifs to get a head start for spazzcrack and have a few to share on here but I ended up making way, way too many  I am not even posting half of them here augh... but there will be more to come, I promise you that!!

Everything about the DVD made me remember so much. It was a miracle I didn't start crying--although I was close. Plus, their speeches before 5x10 were so sweet... especially Nino's and Jun's.


Every time I re-watch this part it makes me feel really proud and idk just ahjdkghd;;

The beginning, I clearly remember the opening music and as soon as I heard it in the DVD I got these chills. And then when they started flying over the audience while singing 感謝カンゲキ雨嵐, every time I closed my eyes all I could see was the view from where I was standing.When they started singing We Can Make It, that's when they came around near me and as soon as the song started all I saw in my head was the image I saw when I finally, finally saw Arashi up close. After 4 long years of waiting ... and never thinking I would have the opportunity.

While I was in Japan, I learned that my dreams can come true too. I am not some insignificant soul who can only aim as low as possible so that I won't disappoint myself. I just... need to work hard

Anyway... the whole DVD was just fantastic. And the 9.30 digest they put in there of course brought back more memories. I don't remember that much rain. I remember thinking, "Holy crap it's raining a lot", but I just didn't care in the end. They cut out a lot of stuff I thought they would include, though! Which brings me to this point:

3 things that I was sad they didn't include!

1) There are no behind the scenes clips. I suppose with the sheer quantity of stuff on the DVD, though they couldn't fit any more in, but they could not have NOT filmed anything. I want behind the scenes!!

2) Why oh why did they put the part where the members told Jun they wanted him to wear his present during the encore, but not put the part where he WORE IT IN THE ENCORE?? They even put part of the encore in there! *points up at icon* See? SEE?! He is wearing it! At the encore! That made me sad.

3) They also some how very sneakily edited out the part where seconds before they covered the cake back up, J un shoved his hand into the cake and took a gigantic bite of it. And then they gave him his present and he had to wash his hands, so he ran down the stage to a puddle and washed them there  -- BUT the part where Jun kissed the camera is still in there, and if you watch it there are still bits of cake all over his mouth

I can't wait for my copy to show up!!

Also I totally forgot to post my last Vlog up, so here you go:

So I'm finishing up the February issue of Popolo  I had some extra time on my hands and wanted to translate, so here I am!

Please don't take this out of my journal without my permission.
DO NOT claim these as your own. I spend a lot of time translating these, please be respectful.
My notes are in italic like usual
T/N!!: The word 約束 (yakusoku) means 'promise', but in Japanese can also mean something similar to plans made with your friends/family. For example, if someone asks you if you want to go out to eat but you already have plans, you could reply something to the extent of "ごめんね、約束があるよ" (Gomen ne, yakusoku ga aru yo "I'm sorry, I already have plans") So please keep this in mind while reading this as the interview spans many different ways to interpret the word "promise" in Japanese.
Enjoy!

( Not having to make promises is the best... )

Aiba's Interview
Sho's Interview
Ohno's Interview

Also. I managed to watch the first half of the debut in Hawaii video, and just finished the part where Jun is on drugs and wakes everyone up. I've seen this video countless times, but I seem to always forget about this part:


HOW ADORBS IS THIS?? I demand more Arashi sleeping together videos!!

Oh yeah, and:


It's okay, Ohno. We understand.

I think this video is in some serious need of spazzcrack-ifying.

Ignore Jun and his flaming cowboy/gangster hat for just a second.. Fuck you, Nino for making me like you by just singing along to a part that isn't yours, and looking so proud of your group and of Matsujun.

I am being a really big dork and memorizing the furi for 'One Love'. I've got the intro and the chorus part down. That's mostly all that there is to the furi XD;; but they have a few dance moves in between where they spin around... and some other stuff during the solos which I can't tell what it is because the camera is never zoomed out far enough!!

And.. TROUBLEMAKER PV!! I have not officially spazzed about this on my LJ yet... I LOVE the PV! I really do. It makes me smile every time I watch it.

EDIT: carrotsandroses made me remember this:



The moment I saw this clip, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I don't even really know why!! But I really really like it... and then when I watched the Making Of and found out that it was Jun's idea to wear the glasses and do that with them (OF COURSE, that bastard)

Anyway.. you all know that I really like seeing how things are made, backstage footage, and just the people who I admire lazing around and being human... I really like that.

The Making Of let me see that a lot, but I was a little disappointed with it. I think it was the fact that they all had to shoot at different times (probably because of schedule conflicts), so there weren't a whole lot of interaction between all of the members. That being said... there was about 5 or 6 minutes where they were interacting with each other, and that has to be my favorite part of the video. I think I was a little spoiled by the My Girl making of, because that one was fanTASTIC.

Okay, last thing -- もう一歩! Can I say that I freaking love this song?? The first time I heard it I actually thought, "Wow... this is not what I was expecting... and I kind of hate it..." A few hours later I decided to give it another go... wow guys. I really love it, I really do.

lmao dying dying dyingggg

I finished the last 3 minutes of last week's AnS that I missed, and watched today's AnS with Inoue Mao. SHUKUDAI-KUN NEVER LEAVE ME.

The whole thing with Mao talking about the difference between 「オレオレ」の男 and 「オレがオレが」の男.. 何だか、、分かるかも crazy girl. And.. in next week's ep.. what's this? She can ride a unicycle?? WTF

I need to practice writing more Japanese. ugh.

じゃあ、今から日本語で。最近日本語を勉強する時間が少ないので、レベルが下ったかもしれない。ヤダァ～悔しいよ。でも、明日新しい日本語のパートナーに会うつもりので嬉しい。でもね、、日本人でも私は日本語で話すのは恥かしい。どうしてのだろうか？？私たちの周りの人が全然英語で喋るので、あの人の周りにいたら他の言葉で喋るのがいやだと思う。日本に住んでいた時、皆がもちろん日本語で話したので、あんまり恥かしくなかったけど、今喋るのはヤダ。悔しいの！（今日の言葉は「悔しい」みたいねｗ）

金曜日は2回目のAJIのミーティングがある。それで他の嵐の大ファンに出会った。私のメールアドをあげたけど、まだメールが出なかった。おかしいじゃん、、彼女は絶対送るよと言ってた。カラオケ一緒に行こうよも言ってた。でもまだメールが出なかった。まあ、私のメールアドをなくしちゃったかもしれない。とにかく金曜日また会うので、彼女と話して、一緒に遊ぶ時間があるかどうかを決める。

後は、日本に戻りたいよ。日々どんどん日本語を忘れちゃうよ。悔しいな！！日本のお菓子とか食べないで、日本っぽいところに行かないで寂しい。や、、たまごちゃん、、元気を出せよ！！いつか日本に戻るよ、、絶対に。♥

Wahahahhahaa *cackles*

Kind of a last minute trip. My parents are heading off to Illinois to check up on my grandparent's condo, and.. I forget the other reasons why they are going.

But, I thought about it, and I haven't been on a trip with my parents in a long time.. so I wanted to go too. Also, I know they will be stopping by Mitsuwa at some point in time, because they like it too. Therefore.. magazines

Sooooo yeah. I'm going on hiatus until Sunday, probably. Unless I can find some way to update from an internet-less place

If any huge news in the fandom comes up, someone PLZ TELL ME

Also, YAY ARASHI OP FOR MY GIRL. It's been confirmed by Aiba that Arashi is singing the theme song.. titled "My Girl". Makes sense. That show looks like it's going to be way too cute and way too sad Now to just wait until a single announcement so I can order it
