Vox is pissing me off. I keep accidentally clicking the pictures when I insert them accidentally. They lead me outside of the page and then I have to RETYPE everything which just wastes my time. UGH.

Fine. For the 3RD time.

I was waiting for VS and saw this!

Previewrelease

Believe preview2

Believe preview

I really can't wait to listen and see the whole song and PV because I refuse to listen to either single before they are released. I'm weird.

So today they had Edo Harumi and Degawa Tetsuro as guests. Degawa-san was, I believe in AnS before.

Guests

Guests2

Degawa-san is very funny! I love his expressions. He's so silly. He and Edo-san bounce their humor off each other well, I think.

I liked Arashi's simple attire today too!
COLORFUL!

Three

Shirts

Red looks very nice on Ohno (remember the truth pv?) and Nino looks good in that shade of yellow. Really.

So first off they had the Pinball Runner instead of Climbing.

Pinballrunner

I believe this is ahrd because you have a basket over your head, you dont know where the balls will be coming from AND you have to run on a treadmill. Im not sure if they've done this game before. THis is the first time I'm seeing it. Anyway, Harumi-san got 240 points for the guest team! She was saying though, after their turn, that at some point she didnt know where to run because her guide, Degawa-san was just shouting "pink pink pink!". These are the pink balls, btw:

Pinkball

btw, for this episode, I believe Nino wins the expression award. hahaha. Second place would be Ohno. HAHHAHA.So it was Arashi Team's turn. Their runner was:

0228-3

and the guide was:

Ninoguard

Again, Nino's expression. Priceless.
So off they went. Again, this game is hard.

0228-4

0228-5

0228-6

Sho only got 150 points!

Next is the Rolling Coin Tower. I'm happy to see this game again after not having it last week! Ohno and Jun played for this. And Degawa was the person to stack coins right after Ohno. He was, I think, trying to get Ohno to let them win. Hahahaha. I love Ohno's concentrated expression!

chotto shabennaide kunai!

0228-9

ME?

The way Ohno said "me" in the end was soooo cute because it was like he had no idea. So innocent. Because Degawa-san, when they lost, said "OOOOHHHHhhhnnooooo-kuuun!!! -____-;;" and Ohno, who had no relation to their loss (the guests) went. "...me?" xD

Then Degawa-san groveled. So cute.

Beg

He is such a treat to have on the show. Hahahaha!

Finally it was the Falling Pipe! I can't understand Sho's complex expression here:

0228-11

He looks rather pissed (Harumi-san was on the platform). HAhahahaha. I don't know what I was to think, really.

0228-12

Harumi-san got 20 points for her round on the falling pipes. Her strategy was just lying on the floor of the platfom, which I didn't really think would work.

It was Aiba's turn! I was waiting for him!

0228-13

Okay, you know, it seems to me that Aiba is the only one from Arashi that seems to have had a constant strategy in playing falling pipes. You know how he does it. He stays behind pipes 3 and 4 and then if the pipes fell somewhere else he would lauch for it.

0228-14

Like so. Although for the life of me, I think the other members have never had a set strategy for the falling pipes game. Maybe its because there are so many combinations in which the pipes could fall, you know. But to think they host the show, you'd think they'd want to practice their strategy ahahaha.

0228-16

He only got 10 points! So much for strategy! XD
Then it was Ohno's turn to choose the pipes for the guest team. I forgot who said it. Someone said "what's with that serious face" to ohno. hahahahahah because....:

0228-17

Hahahah what IS with that face? That's why he's second place in this week's expressions. I forgot the points that Degawa-san got! I think... I forgot really! :x

Then it was Nino's turn to go catch the pipes. This was his best expression of the show:

0228-18

AHAHAH what do you think? Sweeping hair of his face is so cute. Is it just me or did his hair get long very fast. Wasn't it just short last week? O_O

Another pose which I found amusing:

0228-19

Hahaha. Strangely, "Juliet" came to my mind with this one. His face looks like he's mocking them down there. haha. He caught the pipes! Look at his accomplished face!

0228-20

0228-21

60 points for the arashi team! Making them...

0228-22

Oh look, there's an audience member in the shot :x you must feel lucky to be in the same shot as Nino! hahaha. Now I can't get over his long hair thing again. Did they film this BEFORE the last two episodes? His hair is long already? EHH??

0228-23

I think VS is going to have a special episode for the 1 year aniversary of the show. I"m not sure. But April 10 is a Friday, not the usual timeslot of the show, plus its at 7? There's too much kanji in the title I can't read it no more. hahaha. Btw, I think in the last shot of Jun, he said "I wasn't able to do anything today" hahahhahaha.

That's it!

Have you seen the short version of Believe yet? Here!

嵐 Arashi Believe PV short ver

That's it for today!

Golf and Arashi don't mix.

nobody@vox.com(Mishie) — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 13:10:46 +0800

Apparently last week, what I thought to have been something that they taped and left out of the actual show (the golf showdown) was actually the preview for this week's episode!

the competition begins

So basically it was just last week's guests (Ueda Momoko and Morimizato Shinobu) along with another pro golfer (this time a guy that I failed to catch the name of). And they had these three golf courses that they would compete in. It was Arashi versus them, of course.

and so it begins!

The boys all had their turn to hit the ball in practice swings. They scored the distances of their swings also so as to gauge their skill and also the order they would go in the competition.

Aiba

Aiba got 290 yards! This made him the leader (not just because he went first) but, well, you'll see. But so far, it looked like it was pretty good.

Actually, it pretty much went downhill from here. Jun went up next. Apparently he was asked if he played golf. I'm not sure with the verb he used but it implied that he wasn't good in golf. It was after this first blunder.

Jun Fail 1

You wont understand just by looking at the picture. Simply put, Jun SWUNG with all his might. But he missed the ball. Jun Fail number One. Shinobu then gave him a lesson on how to stand and swing the club.

Jun's improvement

After that tutorial, Jun managed to hit the ball. 22 Yards. 270 yards shy of Aiba's. You'll get the picture, starting from here, that Jun is the butt of this VS episode. He's adorable.

Not bad, Sho

watch the ego, Nino.

So it was Sho and Nino that came next. Nino. I guess because he's supposed to good at games and he does play golf, got 253 yards. I was lucky enough to get this screencap. Watch the ego. c: But I love your ego anyway.

At this point they introduced a new guest to the mix. I failed to catch his name but he's also a pro. He joined the Arashi team and so it became boys against girls (no longer Arashi vs. Pros). Look at that distance he hit.

Golf9

He'll be funny in just a bit.

False ego? xD

Then when the host asked who would go next (they had a host for this one. Not Sho), Jun was all like "I'll do it." and started flexing. But apparently he was joking. Nino went to hit instead.

why so serious? XD

He's so serious. hahaha. its time for some funnies.

So then (I'm sorry, I realized I'm not showing any screencaps of the girls. The thing is, they're pros so you kind of get the idea that they're leading at this point. Its Arashi that provides the funny in their attempt to be pros) their other male guest tries to hit. At this point the Arashi team is getting pretty close to the hole and they're all excited (given that Jun won't seem to be helping much). So with him being pro and all, they were hoping that he would be their ticket. But then...

doomed.

"oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi!!!!" said Arashi. See that blue star in the bottom right of the picture. That's where their guest hit the ball. All the members charged at him. "What happened yo?"

He hit their ball into the BUNKER. So they were like "EEEEHHH??" and it didn't help that Jun was next to hit the ball! hahaha! So here's the REAL FUNNY THING.

Jun was up next. And this was shown in the preview but only a teensy part of it. Here's what happened: Jun was next. He positioned, he practiced, he swung and he HIT THE CAMERA. The one on the floor. All the members ran to the camera. They were asking, "Daijoubu daijoubu?" (it seems funny if they were trying to ask the camera because, you know, its not alive). Thus we have the following blurry pic:

Jun's Fail 2

Jun's face is HILARIOUS. And it wasn't enough that I couldn't stop laughing here. He just had to be given a second chance (because his ball didn't hit the area of the game, obviously. He SWUNG! And it went: Poro. xD

Jun's Fail 3

And EVERYONE then couldn't stop laughing. He hit the ball but it was like, "Nge." *crashes onto floor*

Since then arashi's methods of trying to win were such: Nino was talking to the ball. *points below*

chon chon

And they over-celebrate when they actually hit it right as displayed by Ohno (~~<fangirlingoverOhno>i love how his clothes moved, btw </fangirlingoverOhno>~~)

it's like a pose. xD

But Jun's Fail DOESN'T STOP THERE!

It was his turn again eventually. And then his final fail moment was:

Jun Fail 4

LOOK AT THAT FACE. He looks like he's about to say "crap. forgeti it already. i suck at golf" hahaha

OB = Out of Bounds. That's where he hit the ball. Funny Jun's progression throughout the show was like this:

1. Doesn't hit ball
2. Hits camera
3. Hits a flop
4. hits out of bounds.

Poor thing. hahahha!

But Jun isn't the only one with a fail. Sho had his fail too.

Sho's Fail

Beacuse, at the third and final hole, they were almost going to win! The girl pros were 73CM away from the hole. Arashi was 3meters away. So Sho hit, hoping to make it in and then.. it stoped at 59cm away!!! The next hitter was already Ueda so that would be a lost cause for arashi to win. He looked like he was in agony. He screamed, threw his fists in the air, crumbled to the ground and rolled around. Poor thing!

WINNER!

So it was a sweet revenge for the girls. They lost very badly last week (or in the case of their filming, just hours ago) so it was probably payback for arashi. Hahaha. Sho was saying that he just wanted to play the Rolling Coin Tower instead. hahah

That's it! I didn't catch the preview for next week! :c

Valentines on VS!

nobody@vox.com(Mishie) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 12:43:38 +0800

Today is the third straight week that I have been watching VS Arashi. And I almost totally forgot that this particular episode was on Valentine's day!

First thing I would like to draw attention to is Nino's hair!

Vsfeb14

I havent seen the commercials lately and the latest magazine I have, his hair was different.
Their guest were Ueda Momoko and Moromizato Shinobu (both golf players).

Guests

Funny thing!
When the two girls entered, Sho, Aiba and Jun (i believe), extended their hands forward. All smiles. They were like, "CHOCO?" And the two girls apologized because neither had chocolates to give to arashi! Hahahhaahahaha. It was so sad for them (Arashi), they felt rejected!!

And guess what? Shinobu (left of the picture) is a, what they said "DAIFAN". She's a huge Arashi fan that first saw their concert in Hokkaido. She had a picture with her two uchiwas (i failed to take a pic) and then she even went to Shanghai last year. They asked her who was her favorite member! Aaaanndddd...

Vsfeb142

Its funny that all the other members are kind of pretending they don't really care if they get chosen or not. Hahaha. I find that hilarious.

I realize that out of all the three games, I like the wall climb the least hahaha. But the Shinobu was the representative for the guests and they only got 50 points for their team. Meanwhile, after losing in janken, Aiba was the representative for arashi aaaaanndd...

Aiba

Look at those points! That put them in a HUUUGE lead.
The Rolling Coin Tower was my favorite game and I really like how they had Ohmiya as the representatives this week.

Nino

Nino and Ohno were really funny. Everytime Ohno would successfully stack the coins, he would lean back and raise the sleeves of his jacket again. Smug guy.

Anyway, the guests were losing really badly hahaha by the end of that round, They had 155 points and arashi had.. 520! They had to get the Falling Pipe right otherwise, they lost.

I concentrated so hard on the games at this point I failed to take pictures. Sorry!
But the guests werent able to get the points!

Winner!

Sorry for that blurry pic.

It was very funny how, after the games, Arashi was expressing their enjoyment for the episode. Meanwhile Ueda-san said "TanoshikaTTA desu" with a black stressmark. Hahahaha. So bitter but very cute! I like her. she was really funny to watch on the Falling Pipes because she couldn't decide on which pipes to monitor and she kept twirling around to decide.

They had an extra VS game in the end!

Special Golf Game

They played this during the credits. I expect they played it as an extra treat for the audience. Plus, the guests were very very good golf players. The only really funny part about this is that while the other members and the guests were doing fine (remember Nino and Aiba play golf together), Jun HIT THE MAT. That greet mat on the picture... and it was sooo SO near the camera. It was funny!

There you go! Valentines Arashi. xD

I finally watched Uta no Oniisan Episode 3! I wasn't able to watch it last night. Besides, I'd like it better with subs first then just watch stuff unsubbed when I'm fluent.

I realized that I was really irritated with Akane. Not because of the whole "she's playing Ohno's girlfriend" thing, but because her character in general is kind of neither here nor there. She was starting to make sense, her breakup with Kenta because he didn't have any ambition, but when she keeps thinking about him and talking to him was kind of thick. I mean, she broke up with him and she has the gall to say "THANK YOU FOR MAKING YOUR DREAM MY DREAM"??? EH???? I was irritated. And then she CRIES and FALLS ON HER KNEES on the end? E???? Very very fickle minded, she is. It's like, Kenta is fickleminded and has no ambition. This doesnt irritate me because his character is consistent. However, Akane is very inconsistent. She says one thing but she is lying. hahahaha. This better be some kind of twist in the end, alright? Haha.

I was also slightly confused when Giselle's producer said that he was the one that made Kenta quit Giselle. E? Was Akane just forced to dump Kenta so that they would get the deal? Maybe that's the twist. But then, if Akane really loved Kenta, she wouldn't have done such a thing.

Shounen's Arashi Special

nobody@vox.com(Mishie) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 22:15:51 +0800

Marked off my wonderful and hopeful 2009.

It was a dream seeing all of them on my TV screen. Well, i've seen them on MS and Shounen Club when it was Ohno and Jun being interviewed individually but ALL OF THEM was a dream. No, no wait. A REALITY.

This is my first post in a LONG LONG time. This will chronicle my new journey of 2009 to get to Japan. First on the list are tickets. I HAVE THE DRIVE. Let's get it on.

One whole hour to arashi... there are no words to describe my feelings. I must be a total nut. I broadcasted it to anyone and everyone that would listen to me that arashi was on my television screen. Unfortunately not all of my friends that were familiar/fanboy/girling over arashi had NHK... one had NHK but not World Premium. Which sucked...for her.

They were all so good-looking. I swear!

Maou Final

nobody@vox.com(Mishie) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 09:05:39 +0800

finally watched it! i never cried so much in any of the past episodes and WOW. I mean, wow. Haha. I just kept thinking how intense all the scenes were and I felt so bad for both Serizawa and Naruse, how neither of them kind knew what they really wanted, how if one of them killed or let the other live, there just wouldn't be any end to the whole pain and the past with Hideo, I ended up not knowing who to blame for the entire thing anymore. And then, I was so puzzled about the very very very ending. You know, what happend!?

And, yeah, i think that's the only way it could have really ended, really. I felt a huge tug in my heart that that was how both of them decided to finish it, or, well, not like they exactliy decided on it, but... yeah... I had my hand over my mouth the entire time. It was so moving. I swear to the lord.

I keep wondering though about what Shiori saw. Poor girl, she never sees good things in that steel warehouse...but then, she saw peace there, finallly.

I can't wait for october 17!!!!

When's the Maou OST coming out again?

Oh no. An Ohno Dream

nobody@vox.com(Mishie) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:22:23 +0800

well it wasn't just ohno. it was all of arashi. though this is the first arashi dream i've had in a while that's this vivid.

it was after another more creepy dream i had. this was better than that, but still, something about it didn't make me feel very good.

well it was like this. i was in some sort of large room with a lot of kids other fans, all seated on the floor. the members were wearing plain uniformed tshirts, it kind of felt like they were filming for a tv show. Anyway, the kids and the other fans (including myself) were drawing and making crafts and stuff. and naturally the guys were there to assist and inter-act. Now, I was near the corner, kind of not doing anything because there weren't any members nearby (xD) and I was still kind of in shock because my dream mentality had just come from the creepier dream and I was still kind of adjusting to the new surroundings. Then suddenly ohno came and sat next to a kid that was in front of me. The little boy was pasting something and then my heart started to beat faster. I wanted to distract myself so i grabbed a pen and a book and started to doodle on the book jacket.

And you know how, you're chance is there but then somehow you're just not doing it right? i kept starting my drawing but it never came out the way I wanted. I started drawing the face and all, but I got so conscious especially when ohno inched his way towards me and was watching me draw. I was like "OMG here's my chance to show that I like art too!" and i was trying to draw well. He was really watching me work and he was saying "ah, you're good." and I was like "OMG omg omg omg" but then suddenly i messed up and hurriedly tried to draw something else.

But then the production team kind of called all the members that time was up and i was starting to panic. Ohno! Don't leave me. And he said, "oh, finish it quickly and I'll hold on to it when you're done." My eyes were "O___O you like my drawing????" and so i tried. I even threw the book away to draw on just the book jacket. But i swear I couldn't finish. so instead i just apologized. Funny thing was that he said in Tagalog, "Bilisan mo" and I frantically just wrote instead (to my surprise, in japanese) "I'm sorry. I can't draw fast. But I will draw something wonderful and send it to you instead." and in my frustration I couldn't write the katakana of my name right. It kept looking wrong. And it was so frustrating. "MI" and "SHI" in katakana is SO NOT HARD and yet, there it was, in my dream, the hardest part of the entire note. And ohno came to look over my shoulder and i tore the note and gave it to him.

And then I woke up. All i could think of was "dammit i'm sending fanmail NOW."

it is NON NEGOTIABLE.

nobody@vox.com(Mishie) — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:14:02 +0800

It gave me heebie-geebies and tore my heart out to read what i could take from Jen's con-report.

I felt so amazed that Arashi can perform this way. I feel so proud of them. But then it tore my heart out because I'm MISSING IT. MISSING IT BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE PHILIPPINES IS STILL NOT PART OF ASIA. And i only have so much money that... i don't know.

So especially because Jun said that their 10th anniversary concert will be BETTER THAN THIS, I AM GOING TO THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY. IT IS SO NON NEGOTIABLE.

As of right now, who can i ask to buy me tickets? I don't care if i go alone! hahahhaaha! I'm going! Now now now! I mean, next year... exactly this time next year!!!!
