It has indeed been a great year...1999, that is.
I've become reminiscent now that 2009 is about to end. I was thinking how great this year has been to Arashi, if not the greatest, in their years in the business since their debut in 1999. Out of the blue, I suddenly remembered Takki and Majo no Jouken, which also had a 1999 broadcast. Majo no Jouken was the first Japanese drama I've watched ever and Takki was the first Japanese actor I had a crush on. I guess, if not for Takki, I wouldn't have known Arashi. And the rest as they say is history.
1999 is truly one for the books (at least in my book). ^__^
I wish that the respective Arashi colors would be represented by their mugs during their Utaban guesting. But it was only Sho, Aiba and Nino (though it was more on the orange side) who had their colors correctly paired with their mugs. Don't mind me, it's just my OC-ness kicking in. XD
INXS: Another snippet. There's a Pinoy Big Brother version currently aired on one of our local TV stations. A PBB housemate who came from Japan uttered "dakara" on national TV and that made me smile. Little things do make me tremendously happy. *winks*
...when Ohno held the frame containing the picture of their mother, my tears simply fell. Every moment with each member in this PV made me cry. I just love everything about it!
From the bottom of my heart that unconditionally and unquestionably loves all five of you. Ten years never looked this good and I'll still be counting on the days that I will be continuously supporting you.
Thanks for making my life a mirage of red, blue, green, yellow and purple goodness! ^__^
...yesterday was the arrival of the 5 x 10 All The Best! DVD! ^___^
CDJapan is so efficient! My family kept it as a secret because I was badgering them by texting the whole day to send me an SMS message the moment the package would arrive at our doorstep. I never heard from my aunt who was at home that time. Imagine the incredulous look on my face when I opened the door to my room after arriving last night from work and there it was...the DVDs! They told me that it arrived in the morning. I just love CDJapan!
By the way, the second disc is pink! So cute! And you'll be surprised when you watch the videos. *winks*
It started out as a very comfortable evening at home with me downloading as always even though the speed was slower than usual. At the same time, I was watching the Arashi shows I've missed last week. After I was done with the first batch of downloads, I was surprised to find out that I have exceeded my downloading limit.
Amazing, isn't it? The Arashi Challenge Week has just started and something like this happened. I wonder what did I download for me to go beyond the limit. Hmmm? A LOT. LOTS OF ARASHI. Haha! XD
But hopefully my back-up plan will work. I can't wait to get home to try it. *crosses my fingers and toes*
I just watched last Monday's Shukudai-kun and this is so trivial but I got all giddy when Sho and Aiba mentioned Nata de Coco. With their smiling faces, I assume that they like eating it. What got me excited was the fact that I was talking about Nata de Coco, animatedly at that, with my colleague last night and how it livens up the usual Fruit Salad if you add it to the mix.
On
my right is an image of Nata De Coco which is basically a sweet, chewy
and sort of jelly-like dessert that is native to our country. It can
be eaten as is or can be blended with desserts, drinks or ice cream.
I can't believe that I even found a correlation between Nata de Coco and Arashi. Haha!
I think it's just appropriate that the only group picture I can find in my stash right now is the first image I have ever saved when I started in the fandom four years ago. It really is the circle of life. I came back from where I started. And I couldn't ask for anything more.
Happy Anniversary! ♥
Last Monday's Shukudai-kun had all the members auditioning for their guest and when it was Ohno's turn, "Your Song" by Elton John was used as the background music. It's ironic to note that Rida was doing something extremely funny and yet, the lyrics were melancholic. But the message of the song is so apt for Arashi. Simply perfect. :)
How wonderful life is while you're in the world."
During the ArashiC concert tour, there was a portion in their MC wherein Rida sang a short verse of a Ken Hirai song. Does anyone know the title? The way he crooned to it was heartfelt, which sent shivers up and down my spine. To say that Ohno sang it so beautifully is an understatement.
Thanks in advance! :)
