Work has been busy, but I found time to watch the dvd yay!

Spoilery screencaps under the cut )

I'm happy with the dvd, so happy that I'll stop complaining about the lack of Ohno-birthday footage. It was Arashi at their best - them being their dorky self (all the Sho baka expressions, Jun's spontaneous actions like grabbing hold of the camera during Sakura Sake, Nino's constant teasing of his member like Sho's water incident during Summer Splash and tearing Aiba's tee during Sakura Sake, Ohno speaking so much during MC without even being prompted, Ohno being the cutest I've seen in a long time, chasing after Nino and such, Aiba's fail moments!!), and so much actual live singing.

Finally found time to watch the talk. Here's a very rough translation.

Question: Please tell us how you spent the new year money that Riida gave you this year.

MC: You received new year money from him?
Sho: This is the first time we did. We had a mass gathering after nwe year and when the five of us came together, he said that he'll give out new year money. He gave each of us 10,000 yen in a small new year packet.
MC: I heard that there was some message that came together with it.
Sho: That's right. For me... 'Arigatou' was written on me.
Aiba: Mine had 'Arigatou' written on it too.
Nino: Mine was 'Arigatou' too.
Jun: Mine was different.
MC: Why is that so?
Jun: Mine was 'Shitagokoro'*.
Jun: I don't know why either.
Aiba/Nino/MC: Why was that so?
Ohno: I had the feeling of 'Arigatou' to everyone else but just for Matsujun, there was a feeling of 'Shitagokoro'.
Ohno: So I just felt like writting that.
MC: Does it seem like he has Shitagokoro?
Ohno: It seems like he has it when his face comes to mind.
*a mess of words which I'm lazy to decipher*
MC: So how have you spent the money?
Sho: I've not spent it yet. It's still inside the new year packet the way I received it.
Aiba: I've used it. I went on a vacation with my family, a really short one. I told my mom, "I received this from Riida, so please use it for the vacation expense."
Nino: I used it to pay for home delivery service.
MC: What about the Shitagokoro?
Jun: I...
Sho: Shitagokoro?
Jun: I'm not a Shitagokoro...
Nino: This is Shitagokoro Jun.
Aiba: ShitaJun, ShitaJun.
Jun: ShitaJun, well I spent the money, but to be honest I'm can't remember where I spent it on.
MC: You can't recall?
Jun: Well, there wasn't any money in my wallet. I didn't withdraw cash from the bank. At that time, I saw the Shitagokoro that I received from Riida. So I thought I'll use it and went to put the money in my wallet. I spent it one day.
MC: ShitaJun used it up.

* Shitagokoro = ulterior motive, hidden feelings and thoughts.

Read more (in Japanese) here and here (omg the 2nd is a fellow Juntoshi fan XP)

WIth regards to my previous post, I think Riida was tired? Coz I read on other blogs and went to double confirm, that he also danced a wrong step during the この手に (Kono te ni) part. It's quite unlike our Riida to dance wrongly ne? I hope it's not because of the hectic schedule he has to handle (filming for Kaibutsu, fishing, reading mangas and what not heheh).

I was distracted from the whole MiniSuite Talk by the very obvious Ohmiya bullying on the left side of the screen.
Nino pushing Ohno into the background by leaving no gap between himself and Aiba.
And the look Ohno gave Nino when Nino finally let him into the line.

Watched the PV Making Of finally, and I totally loved it. Even more than Troublemaker and Monster!

Here are some flail-worthy moments:
 

  • Aiba falling off the track.
  • Nino fooling around with Ohno's clipboard.
  • Ohno spending his free time looking up fishing info so that he can fish up his beloved tuna.
  • Sho and Nino trying to take over Jun's job of introducing the PV by pretending that the song's the theme of their drama instead!
  • Aiba worrying about finishing the job too smoothly this time and having his (clumsy?) character ruined, thus having to take on the "able-to-do-too-much-kun" character in the future.
  • Sho acting as Ohno's manager, telling him the concept of the PV.
  • Nino asking Ohno to wait since he hasn't finished his part, and having heard that, Ohno asks him to work hard. Why the sudden change in behaviour? We soon find out. Ohno says that although Nino's last, most likely they'll go back in the same vehicle. Nino acknowledges that he knows that! Everything ends when he finishes his part. At that, Ohno rushes to push Nino out of the greenroom! And they have great fun pushing and pulling, because Nino knows what Ohno's thinking and refuses to bulge! It was only when Ohno said he'll wait that Nino moves. Maybe Ohno wants to go home fast and pack his bags for another fishing trip!
  • Ohno joking that since they're filming the whole thing with the green backdrop, he can't imagine what the final product would be - it could have all kinds of trees behind them, or it may just be a plain green backdrop. HAHA since when did Ohno become so lame.
  • Sho putting up 7 fingers (in the Japanese way) at every mention of "7 coloured"/"nana iro" in the lyrics, and then Ohno taking over the baton (in Sho's words!) by singing "phrase"/"no furesu". Kawaii.

Notice I didn't mention a thing about Jun? Well, there was plenty of member love (Yama, Ohmiya, Sakumiya, how come no Aibaxsomeone ?!) but the best best best (and I'm biased haha) was this:



I don't know, I can imagine Jun as the wife going "what happened? what happened?" to the husband (Ohno) who came home in low spirits. But I can also imagien Jun as the husband returning home and finding the wife (Ohno) resting after a long day of housework! Jun understood Ohno so much, wondering if he was lazing around coz he was hungry/tired....The ease!




Who would have expected Jun to gesture to Ohno at this part?!

風の通る坂道 木漏れ日の階段に
想い出を刻んで 全て君にする
The hilly road where the wind blows past, the stairs where the sun filters through the canopy onto
I'll carve memories there, making them all about you

And Ohno returned a kiss, so instantaneously!

Having said all these, I need to say that I prefer Over over Love Rainbow. I like the boys' more mellow voices in there, and the calm melody.

You don't expect me to let this pass do you?

Nakayoshi Arashi!
But more importantly, look at Juntoshi!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at the hug!!
 
 
 
Where was Jun touching?
The inserted speech bubble "Stop it~" sounds awkward in such a setting.
Oh and cookie points for Sakuraiba!


Another Juntoshi. <3



 

In this issue, they had a
  RAN-KING      Ranking        
      ランキング
I'm so amused by this!
The kanji for Arashi can also be read as "ran". And the kanji "ou" stands for "king".
Aniwae, what they was to check 1 week's worth of variety shows after the release of TBF to count the number of time the members did things that could only be done because they're close to each other!

I was rewatching AnShi #8 because I remembered pettomomo's blog post about Arashi's facial expressions when Jun did the banana slip. I wanted to see them myself...and indeed, they looked so worried. In fact, before Arashi's turn, when Jun commented that it seemed really painful when the guest did a demo, Nino gave an odd laugh. I don't know if it's just me being affected by Arashi's facial expressions after that, but I felt that he wasn't really laughing from inside. More of like...pretending to laugh to ease the tension around/within.

And then, before Jun's turn, while he was saying his 'last words', neither Aiba nor Sho was smiling. After the slip, only Aiba smiled a bit, and it's the kind of...worried/cynical half-smile/smirk. No one else had facial expressions that reflect the laughter in the audience. In fact, I thought that Ohmiya looked pretty worried. It was only when Jun started laughing himself that I saw Ohno and Aiba laugh a bit.

In fact, the next scene showed Nino at the other side of where he was initially standing, together with Jun. Maybe he was trying to check that he fellow young-one is alright?



I digress, because my purpose of posting is actually the below. The one small moment of Juntoshi. XP

 

Yes, I love juntoshi )

Just a very short part of the article from The Television Zoom 10/09/2010.

Featuring dear Juntoshi. XD Not 100% accurate, just posted for the very off-topic praising in the first part. lol.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

 

Just because subtle love wins open love, pants down. )

Made with funkadelicsinc's scans of Weekly The Television 20100306-12 posted in arashi_no_jidai.

It's confirmed. I love all pairing in Arashi, but for now, it's Juntoshi for me! See, Ohno is blushing in the picture! LOL.

But seriously, even their hair matched. The ends of their hair are pointing outwards!!

I had an Arashi-kai yesterday, and when it ended we went for dinner. On the way there, we heard loud shrieks and screams. FANGIRL ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think something came over me today, and I started jumping and shouting "Arashi!!!" like nobody's business in the middle of the pavement at City Hall. There were tons of people at this hotel entrance. Then some people walked past us and I spot a DBSK shirt on one of them. Seemed like the brother of one of the DBSK members was there. Strange.

Btw, I scanlated a fan manga! My first scanlation! I spent hours cleaning up the darn pages...It's shared here (locked).

To relieve my poor body and soul from the ravage of AB311, dearest Johnny-san brought me great news today!

Arashi/ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5 X 10  DVD
5524 yen S$87.16 Release Date:2010/04/07
Description:DVD release from Arashi featuring footage from their "ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5 x 10" concert performance at Kokuritsu Kasumigaoka Kyogijo on August 29, 2009. Includes their all singles from "ARASHI" to "Everything" and more. Also contains digest footage from August 30, 2009 performance at the same place and footage from five major domes tour.

Released in just over a month's time! So fast! About a month after the release of the new single ne. Are they trying to ride on the new high set last week at the Japan Gold Disc? Eh wait. EHHHHHHHH. Angel had told me that the concert included is the 28th one at Kokuritsu....demo...the information above says 29th ne. EHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if to be happy about that because:

  • I attended the 29th one, so having the dvd of that special experience will be a great memory.
  • I attended the 29th one, so having the dvd of the 28th instead means that I got to watch 2 concerts! Besides, 28th is also a special day, and it'll be like Arashi performing in celebration of my 21st!

In any case, at least there's a digest section! I hope a backstage one too. I'm greedy, so I'm thinking that they should have 3 discs, with the 3rd disc being a backstage dvd.

And I've finally found time to watch the Troublemaker PV (gonna watch the Making Of later~). I like the cute concept, although I'm not so sure what the entire PV means. Maybe it's just pure fun. XD
 

 

All the colours in this PV! )

OMG! I just watched it and....the song is of course great, but!!

It's the Juntoshi that got me 'kyaaa-ing'. I mean, we don't usually get to see Jun rabu rabu with another member during performance...and even if he tried, I don't remember seeing his love passionately returned. But this one was pretty good! He was like totally gazing and smiling at oh-chan, and the same for riida!

Loved the dance too!

Btw, Aiba's clothes in this perf was cool! yay I'm gonna go watch more now!
