These are done from the May holidays I think.
It's about time I release them.

I haven't read the review yet.
Which review?
The review about Nino being too short for his role... maybe.
I don't know.
No one provided a link of it yet.
And I haven't had an encounter with it yet.
So I don't really know what the full review is all about.
But there are statements in blogs stating that the review includes the fact that
Nino was too short to play the role of Yamada Tarou.
Ever since the time when the rumor of Nino playing Yamada Tarou was up on Arashi@vox,
I do anticipate this review.
Yamada Tarou is a very handsome man. He's athletic, tall, talented...
Taro is pretty much a perfect guy.
BUT Nino is NOT tall.
And I know Nino is NOT handsome in the eyes of many people.
As much as I really really really like Nino to act out that part (plus he's my ichiban),
I do accept this truth.
He certainly does not seem handsome to me.
But another fangirl somewhat comforted me saying,
He might not be handsome or tall.
But he is very talented.
He can surely carry that character!
To which my thoughts immediately went,
That's right!
Nino ain't got the handsome/macho face like Sho!
He ain't got the height too!BUT-HE-GOT-TALENT!
And what do you know!
The girl was right!
Nino brought so much life to the character!
I can imagine a lot of other Tarou-look-alike hot guys acting out the role
but I don't think any of them can make a cartoon character so alive!
So really, does it matter that Nino did not bring out the character as a handsome guy?
Instead he portrayed it as a very sweet guy, who is very much human, but yet very much real.
Wouldn't you have preferred THAT over the first option?
Well, it's all a question of personal preferences.
For Nino have talent,
I'm pretty confident that he'll be fine with almost any characters.
Which leads me to a pretty unique character in mind...
Domyouji Tsukasa.
What if he is to play that character?
The adorably stupid, sarcastic, egoistic, snotty character?
Could Nino have pulled it off?
Can he do it better than Jun, despite the fact that he is not as good looking?
And can he perm his hair drastically to the point of extreme?!
Lol, Hemingway!
I am totally totally jealous of those who gets to have the REAL album.
REAL as in you're actually holding the original CD
with the original hardcover CD case
and the original CD pamphlet!
ENVY ENVY ENVY ENVY ENVY!
Nevertheless,
I still love you people for sharing the files!
:)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Anyway, it was my friend's birthday yesterday.
I wasn't really planning on giving her presents.
But then it just seems inappropriate to come to her birthday dinner without presents.
And I'm pretty sure the others got her something.
And it just so happens that Arashi's TIME came out the day before.
Okay, so she's NOT really an Arashi fan.
She was Sho-baited.
But she really likes the song 'We Can Make It!'
So I made her an Arashi TIME CD.
I know,
I shouldn't have pirated an Arashi CD.
But erm... I'm just erm...
*cough* Spreading... the Arashi *cough* ... rabu rabu *cough cough*
Since I now hardly get to watch Arashi on videos,
(due to my busy schedule, lack of time, and my mother watching my back)
I printed out pictures instead and stuck them to my organizer.
5 pictures of Nino
1 picture of Arashi
So, during class,
I would occasionally smile to myself in pain -
Feeling that I really miss the boys.
I would peek up at my organizer
and squeal smile to myself in delight to see our gorgeous boys.
Before, I can only blab to my friends
about how much I love Arashi and how much I miss them.
None of them have ever 'seen' Arashi.
But not anymore!
Though there are lots more of Nino's pictures,
they didn't comment much on him.
(It's typical since Nino's not the BEST looking guy there)
When I asked who's the one they like most from the Arashi picture,
all of them answered Sho-chan!
Jaez: Erm... I was expecting more answers of Jun. He's the handsome/hot one...
Friends: Eeeww! You have a very bad taste. He is no better than the cute/hot/handsome/sexy guy! (Sho)
And I don't get what you see in that Nano of yours.
(it's Nino, mind you)
That's their way of showing how annoyed they are because of my random fangirling of Arashi.
During field trips and such,
I would bring my cellphone and show them Arashi's PVs.
Usually I'll start with 'We Can Make It!',
where as usual, Sho is SO loved!
The only reason my friend asked me to transfer the PV to her cellphone is because
She Likes Sho.
Whenever her phone memory runs low,
she would delete anything else BUT the PV!
Responses from friends about Sho ~~ :
- Sho is the only one handsome here.
- He's the only one that doesn't look gay.
- He's the only one that doesn't look like a transvestite.
- He's the only one that looks like a REAL tough guy.
- He's the only macho guy there.
- He's the only one that looks like the leader of the group!
RANDOM: I've just noticed that Sho-bait rhymes with Sho-beat!
Of course,
when you are a fangirl of Arashi,
you will suddenly feel that you have a responsibility of
spreading what we call - The Arashi Rabu Rabu.
When I first got into this fandom,
I tend to see fangirls repeating this line:
Spread the Arashi rabu rabu!!!
Rabu Rabu? Wednesdays Wednesdays?
(In Malay, Rabu means Wednesday)
To which my reaction was:
What the heck is wrong with these people???!!!
Such a lame tagline! At least be creative dohzza!
Pardon me for such words.
I've had a lot of fandoms before, but I've never actually been involved in the community.
So I wasn't used to the different behavior of fangirls.
But yeah,
I find any people who said that out loud to be freaks of the fandom.
But it turns out, people like me then, are the REAL freaks of the fandom!
After submerging into more Arashi communities,
it seems like EVERYBODY is saying it!
I later on found out that 'RabuRabu' means 'LoveLove'.
And it means to spread out Arashi Love.
I got my friends to like Arashi!
Up to this date, I've got 2 people to LOVE Arashi!
So I'm spreading the Arashi Rabu Rabu, right?
Now, I couldn't really care how much lame it sounds.
I've become one of those typical Arashi fangirls that shouts out:
SPREAD THE ARASHI RABU RABU!
I've compiled a few stuff for my own references.

[SorakMalaysia@Blogspot have reviewed the First Day's performances]
The Star newspaper reported on the First Day:
In KL,
this would be one of the major events of the year for youths.
Malaysia is still new in cheerleading,
so every year holds surprises for us.
I've been going since I'm 14.
Moreover,
I was a cheerleader last year.
So if I get to go for this year,
it would be really meaningful as I now understand the whole basic concept of cheerleading.
(stunts, choreography, showmanship etc)
But, unlike most of my friends,
I didn't get to go this year.
They're probably having fun right now at the stadium,
watching great performances by 'powerhouses'.
*Sigh*
Oh well,
I'll just have to buy the CheerComp CD next year...
This is the poster done by one of my school's cheer team, ANCHORZ:
UPDATE: Jun Cam Hardsub is uploaded [here!]
After about a week of depression,
I'm now back and feeling much much better.
Thanks to everybody who have comforted me in my previous post!
* chuus chuus *
I'm now putting my lazybum to work.
I will be uploading Jun Cam hardsub (low quality).
I'm already halfway through subbing Aiba cam.
I will burn all of my videos to DVDs! By the time my parents cut me off,
at least I've backed up some Arashi stash.
But as soon as my parents get home,
I am not to watch any videos nor sub them.
Oh yay yay yay!
By the way, is anybody going to Cheer Comp 2007 this weekend???
Would really love to go.
But... Parents-Teacher meeting is one day before the event!
And I have 5 out of 10 papers under 50%!
(Anything below 50% for me, it's a failure)
Hrmm... still going to find a way around it!
Nah, I wouldn't blame Arashi for this.
I blame myself.
Don't read this if rants of denial will only make you feel annoyed.
I'm just posting this for the sake of posting something.
Haven't posted anything for a week, which is very much unlike me.
I-AM-IN-DENIAL
School have just started and... I've now realized just how dangerous the state I am in right now.
We've just received a few of our exam results.
And it's NOT pretty.
I'm getting 50% less than what I used to get!
My grades have suffered because... I was too busy with my escapism- Arashi fandom.
When others are digging their faces into their books,
I was busy downloading Shukudai, Mago Mago, Arashi mp3s, Arashi interviews etc etc etc...
They're so addictive, I don't know when to stop.
The point is- I CAN'T STOP!
And SPM will be in just a few months.
For those who are wondering, it's similar to university entrance exams.
People keep on repeating that SPM is your turning point in life.
If they can reverse time, they would definitely reverse back to the time of their SPM.
So I'm now keeping my Arashi fandom to minimum mode.
Slowly... but surely.
I am now rounding up to other fandoms.
A new fandom I've developed is for V6.
Why them?
I love their songs, their close bond... Morita Go (I know he's not cute, but he's such a badass).
And it's also because they're not as addictive as Arashi!
- I'm now listening to more V6 songs than Arashi.
And I'm also back to my old fandom: HUSTLE.
I don't think a lot of you watch the series,
but it's a truly slick series.
Think of Ocean's Eleven- but smarter and truly neat!
Nice timing though since Season 4 is just up for downloads.
And of course, I'm back to that fandom because it's not as addictive as Arashi!
One thing I'm not yet able to handle,
is my habit of Vox-hopping.
I will eventually logged on to Vox most of the time because I miss the girls.
The whole 'fangirly' girls that goes:
"Aaawww!" at the sight of Riida's cuteness,
*Nosebleeds* from Sho's half-naked pictures,
*Swoons* at MatsuJun's divine beauty,
*Goes hypertension* from Aiba's genki-ness,
"Kyaa!" from Nino's witty comments.
I'm lacking my usual enthusiasm.
My post is not as colorful as before...
Oh well, After SPM!
After SPM, I will embrace the storm of Arashi fandom again!
Wait for meeee!
Firstly, GOMEN!!!
I know that some of you are hoping for softsubs but I lost it.
I accidentally erased ALL of my files in my desktop!
The many days, weeks, months of downloading Arashi clips have gone... in vain!
I checked my Mediafire hoping I somehow by chance backed it up.
But... no.
Good thing is,
I've just uploaded this yesterday on YouTube.
I can get the hardsubbed clip (LowQuality).
But I am really really sorry for not able to provide softsubs.
I could just do it all over again.
But... time is not on my side.
I have now plan to take initiatives over my obsession of Arashi:
To completely shut myself off from the internet during weekdays!
I will only check my vox through my cellphone.
# Sho X Ohno rabu!
They were often hugging and holding hands.
# Jun gets high for a few seconds at the end of the clip.
Not much really. After watching Nino's and Ohno's cam, this Jun cam strikes me as 'Plain'.
Last rant,
"Yoroshiku onegaishimasu" is extremely hard to express in English!
It took me some time just for that short phrase!
