living up the dream, chasing for the time

True. I've been away from Arashi for so long. Someone made a comment about snarky!Nino and I was made aware that he was my OneTrueJELove。I missed him terribly. While I do love my SM-ers and YG-ers and JYPs, Nino　（そして嵐） is still irreplaceable. : )

So Nino, my OneTrueJELove, please go flourish in your endeavors. I will still watch you~ : )

嵐今まで私の心に大切よ。忘られないよ。：）

Thank you so much for TenjoStyle's post of the One Hour Special! XD It was so funny seeing Jun as Domyouji singing with Arashi. When Mao came out, I was like 'UOOOOOH!!!!"

XD XD I'm excited for the HYD movie XD I hope it goes out well! : D

Nino looks wonderful lately now, doesn't he?

Thank god you cut your hair. XD

I'm so happy! Congratulations to both Arashi and TVXQ for topping the Oricon Charts ! AAAAH I'm so happy!! Good work minna!

Arashi conquered the album charts with their Dream "A" Live, while TVXQ topped the singles charts with Beautiful You.

AAAAH I am so happy!!!!! Congratulations! You all deserve it! : D

To our dearest Ohno Satoshi:
To you, Ohno Satoshi, who...
                makes me squeal at the sound of his smexy voice,
                makes fangirls gape at his HIPnotic movements,
                never fails to astound his fans,
                had unknowingly made himself a god in cute Chinen's eyes,
                almost eats everything and finds them delicious,
                rolls around in a cardboard loop to look like a hamster,
                has Nino for a wife,
                make me curious because of his art,
                leads Arashi successfully even without really leading them,
                shops with his mom,
                enthusiastically fights with Nakai,

       All of this and a whole lot more,
       We, your fangirls, wish you a very happy (27th) birthday.
       May you eat all you want, drink all you want, sing and dance all you want,
       and find peace and get married by 30 to have cute little kiddies, happiness and prosperity.
      
Happy Birthday, Ohno Satoshi!

I think I'm going to do this every birthday.  :D

To check Music Japan's schedule. : O

So far, due to my forgetfulness of checking their schedule, I have missed one performance of my favorite song Akaneiro no Yakusoku by Ikimonogakari, around three to four performances of one of Japan's best rock bands L'Arc~en~Ciel and around two to three performances of Korea's one of the best boy bands Dong Bang Shin Ki (SHINE and Forever Love).

To think that I just missed DBSK's and Laruku's performance just last Friday (07.11.23).

What I'm wondering is how come Music Japan doesn't seem to have Johnnies in its list...

With the Rising Gods of the East coming with a Storm. HAHAHA.

Following Jen-san's post, I clicked the link and tried to read the page. I was ecstatic to know that i found FOUR of my favorite artists in the article (although I can't understand it, or even read it all):

Ayaka (11)

Utada Hikaru (16)

Angela Aki (21)

Tohoshinki (DBSK/TVXQ) (15)

Arashi (26)

If the numbers beside their names are their ranking, then TVXQ's doing really well. and Ayaka too! Eleven! :D

I've never been into Korean boy bands as much as i have been into Arashi. I've heard of Shinhwa and DBSK, H.O.T. and Big Bang and all that from my friends, but I never got into liking them. I've listened to Shinhwa songs and liked them, but I never liked them enough to research on them and find out who has this voice and stuff (the only voice I know is Hye-Sung's). I would only listen to their songs. Out of Shinhwa's six members, i only know three. or four. Hye Sung, Min Woo, Eric and Junjin.

But I think the Korean boy band thing has bitten me, for now, I am finding myself deeply attracted to...

dundundunnnn

TVXQ

My first songs of theirs was SHINE and Choosey Lover. Then I heard Hug, Balloons and then Magic Castle. But the song that really drew me in, aside from Hug, was this:

DBSK - Stay With Me Tonight

DBSK
