Will It Snow For Christmas.
What an irony.
I was 90% through ep 8 and was thinking how the supposed-to-be angst-filled ep unfolded quite nicely and captured my heart without being overdramatic. And then, the ending of the ep, which I had expected given the scene set-up, started to push things downhill.
Kang Jin kisses Woo Jung in front of Ji Wan because he recalled Tae Jun's accusation that if he doesn't let go first, Ji Wan will continue to hold on even if it means death (as she develops illness from feeling too guilty). Seeing that, Ji Wan leaves, heartbroken. But she doesn't see the tears that wells up in Kang Jin's eyes and how they fell down his cheeks after she left. In a voiceover:
I dreamed a dream. In that dream, I met Ji Wan. In that dream, I made Ji Wan a promise, that I won't let go of her again. That I won't be that foolish like back during our San Cheong days.
Such bittersweet words.
And then, the preview destroyed it all.
With Kang Jin's new, Kiiroi Namida era hairstyle.
With hints that Kang Jin and Woo Jung collaborated in accepting bribery and plotting against Tae Jun.
With Kang Jin and Woo Jung looking like they got together.
It doesn't really make sense and I hope that it's just the PD trying to mislead. I mean, given Woo Jung's character, I don't think she would dabble with anything underhand. And if Kang Jin did something of that sort, ep 8's "Because he's (Kang Jin) honest and honerable" wouldn't make sense. Ok, now upon thinking through, I think the preview is misleading. I hope. But why is Kang Jin's hairstyle so different? Even Woo Jung's hairstyle looks different. I think there might be a time leap. If so, then perhaps it's possible for the two's character to change...T.T I hope not, or I might just drop this drama. Just as I was starting to really like Woo Jung and Kang Jin. haizzz
Looks like Travis Payne is in town for the MJ tribute session^^
Wow, hope Oh-chan gets to see him at the rehearsal.
Wish Arashi will participate in the above session w/SMAP
Arashi # 42 among 50 artists XD
Kohaku ends at 2345
So quite sure they won't be @Tokyo Dome by 2300

I had a late Christmas celebration with my Arashi family (excluding dear Mrs Ohno who has left for Indonesia) today at the KTV. And it was basically an Arashi matsuri! SantArashi came to the room and piled on the table tons of un/official photos, keychains, calculators, photobooks, the 5x10 Best clips dvd, My girl singles, newspapers detailing Arashi's claim in the Oricon charts, fanclub letters, fanclub anniversary gift, My girl photobook and many more. XD I think this ktv session was wasted as we spent like 30% of the time squealing over all the Arashi goodness on the table.
I went in late and was told that my friends were in Room 39, all the way at the back. But as I headed for the back, it felt wrong as it seemed to be leading to the storeroom/toilets. At that instant, I heard an Arashi song. Yes?No?. So I turned back and walked towards the source of the song, one of the ktv rooms, and wanted to head right in. But as I reached the door (which was mainly transparent glass), I saw that the people inside weren't them. I hesitated, and then looked around for Room 39, and found them, bringing them them news that the people next door were sing an Arashi song. I wondered if they saw the My girl photobook I was carrying by my side when I walked past their room. XD In between songs, during the brief periods of silence, we opened the door and eavesdropped on what the other room was singing. All Arashi songs!! HAHA it was so fun picking up bits and pieces of the song and guessing its title! So, confirmed! Arashi fans they are. Still in a very high mood, I suggested popping over to say hi. XD But in the end, I didn't want to disturb them and so settled for singing as loud as possible in hopes that they will catch on what we realised. And when I went out to order a drink, I brought the My girl photobook along. XD
Later, as we flipped through the pages, we realised that some songs such as Niji, wasn't listed. So, after a lot of hesitation, I went over to ask. Ok, it really was an excuse to say hi. But I really wanted to sing Niji!! I walked over, looked in, and turned away immediately. Because I saw a mini Sho uchiwa in a clear box file, facing right at the door!!!!!!! HAHA! But with the company of Angel, I knocked onto their door and asked about Niji. In the end, we started to exchange songs. We had managed to find some newer songs eg Ashita no Kioku, and had wrote them down on a piece of paper, which we shared with them. XD And then we exchanged cyber contacts, talked abit about our ichibans, and left. It turned out that they had purposely put Sho's uchiwa at the door. LOL! And they heard us singing Carnival Night Part 2. Gosh!
I had recently experienced some not-so-friendly Arashi fans, the first time in the past 4 years, but today's incident helped me get over the disappointment. Arashi does bring people together. =)
Arashi is no 42 to perform!
That's very behind~
Wah I wonder how are they going to rush to Countdown Concert...
oh and i forgot to say...
i'm very much gleeful at Sho kun and Nino..

Ohoku movie coming in 1st October 2010
Nino is in so many movies going on this year!
Maybe he will be the next GQ Men of the year! xD
But... Everyone is worried about his health issues ne... T__T
These are great opportunities, so I hope he can rest a bit with other Arashi stuff... He will start to film it next spring.
Ohoku is a historical fiction, set in an alternate version of Edo-era Japan where society has become matriarchal due to an unusual disease that affects males. The story should not be confused with previous works by the same name in television, film, and theater, which have all focused on the actual historical "ooku," a section of Edo Castle that housed the shogun's women.
