Um...it seems I'm in an uploading mood. So anyone wanna see a clip of when Arashi were in Hawaii (2002, I think) and the other members helped Aiba to kiss Nino? Poor Nino! Though I bet none of us would mind being in his position, ha ha!
Really? I did not know that about "Midnight Train". But what are those Japanese letters? I cannot read them! Who are their senpai? Do you mean M.A.I.N.?
not M.A.I.N. it's otokogumi i mean. they did show the clip of it during the 2004-2005 countdown. _________________

ok, i'm gonna be super long winded and detailed. so please bear with me... i'll post in bits n pieces. would be easier to read.
Firstly, the concert tickets CANNOT be booked from overseas because you need to collect them PERSONALLY at the booth within 2 days.
But you can get your japanese friend to collect it for you.
BUT I FOUND OUT FROM THIS TRIP THAT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO SPLURGE, ANYONE FROM ANY PLANET CAN GET THE TICKET SO DAMN EASILY RIGHT BEFORE THE CON START!
There are soooooo many people selling tickets, both yakuza types and normal public types. All along the way from the train station, Harajuku, to the Yoyogi stadium are girls/people holding hand-written signs of selling their tickets. The yakuza-looking types even have a concert seating map for you to choose tickets from!!! But they will be like 3-5 times the price depending on the seat.
So no more worries about getting tickets in future!

OMH! fybabe is back from the concert... I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR... *sits in anticipation*
My friend and I are discussing how Ohno-ship is sinking our Jun-ship and Sho-ship respectively. All due to ONE performance of "TOP SECRET". _________________

fybabe! so glad to know you're back from the concert all in one piece! don't have to rush with your report since i think i've already read a whole bunch of one natsu con reports. didn't think it'd be so easy to get tickets but yeahh prices must've been booming high if one was to buy from scalpers and yakuzas.

Next thing I learnt:
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO EARLY TO QUEUE FOR THE CON!
I learnt this the hard way, coz looking at the queue of girls yesterday, i thought you gotta be there way early. my con time is 2.30pm. i was there at about 1pm. there was already thousands of girls outside the stadium.
The queue has already started and we are let in at 1.30pm.
but it's really easy and quick coz all our seatings are already printed on the ticket so it's so orderly. i should have brought sun tan lotion and wore a bikini instead of being roasted alive in the stupid queue...
next time, i'll arrive at 2.15pm. in fact, alot of the audience arrive at that time. i guess the early birds are just as cluesless baka as me...
another thing i found out:
I COULD HAVE BROUGHT A GRENADE OR A DURIAN INTO THE STADIUM...
geez... all the scare about security and it's lax at best!!! they do take a 'peek' into your bag, but that's all. and i did bring my camera, i just wrapped it in a sweater, and it's fine!!!
but still, i didn't use it... not because of all the men-in-black in the stadium, but those japanese audience... sheesh... they must be brain-washed... they told me i can't use it!!!

:LOL: I think a durian would be harder to smuggle in because of the smell. Plus I don't think Japanese eat durians... which reminds me I want durian now. I just think that Japanese fans are pretty much stickler for the rules. It's like wearing gothic lolita is ok BUT we must follow the rules. _________________

there are like recorded announcements in the stadium to tell us not not to use cameras, video-cam etc... in the stadium.
honestly, i dun really care about this... i've already gotten my camera INSIDE the stadium!!!
but it's my neighbours that says (like a recorded message) "you can't use your camera inside here" that puts me out...
japanese fangirls are brainwashed...
EDIT
Dunadan, those security is lax... i dun think they were even really looking... i bet their noses are shut off as well.
NO, i correct my message, i think THE SECURITY is the fangirls themselves...

Thanks to Mylani, arashilove, and gelyn for your continuous contributions!

i think i saw someone posted the content of One album somewhere in the thread, YSI link i supposed, tokyo nights and jpopsuki have them too, it should be up now in jpopsuki unless we are just waiting for the release date? and guys if you LOVE the songs, please buy their album, not just only d/l them, at least thats one way of supporting our ARASHI guys isnt it?
@violomana thanks for your comment, anyone wants to write comments about the songs too ??? at least even if it is just individual opinion/ comment, theres an idea on what to expect on each song or as a whole album, package etc... (wonder if anyone will be bias about this part?? hmm... maybe it will be me )
I agree with you that we should support our artists. I'm just not sure if any of my local (local being half an hour away ^^') stores have Arashi stuff. I only became a fan this last week. Online shopping is a big no-no for me (no credit card privileges ) or else I'd have A LOT of things by now, lol. *thinks of all the anime* But thanks for your thanks on my comment, gelyn. It took me a long time to write that review. I must have listened to the entire album at least 3 times in a row. I hope someone finds it helpful, and I tried not to be biased either (but that's always a hard thing to do when you love your boys so much!) [p.s. your knowledge of Arashi and Johnny's is truly amazing! ]

GIRLS!!! I'M BACK!!! I FINISHED THE CON LIKE AN HOUR+++ AGO AND NOW I MISS THOSE BOYS TO DEATH!!! ESPECIALLY JUN-TURNED-SEX SYMBOL
USOOO!!!! Welcome back!!!!!
Now I'm SO glad I stayed up even though I have class soon (it's almost 4 am over here!) I'm constantly refreshing the latest page for your updates, but please take your time! Don't rush and forget any details!

do you have to ask?!!
of course Jun-turned-sex-symbol!!!
I WANT HIM SO BAD!!!!!
Holy crap, I KNEW IT! W/ME was just screaming JUN SEXINESS! Can't wait for the details. And what about Ohno's solo? Better than Top Secret??? And Nino and Sho and Aiba?? Gah, your brain must be hurting right now!
[I can't believe how lax/odd/ridiculously-sticking-to-the-rules the beginning of your adventure has been! But I really appreciate the details. It'll be really helpful when I finally save up enough money to go to Japan!]

What, what? How come you're not allowed to use a camera in the stadium?!
just imagine a concert with a little flick of flash from here and a little from there.... i think it is a concert norm and errr.... they are from the johnny's which "face" arent even allowed to be posted even on internet aside from their johnny's official site that is. so if u try to look around those official japanese sites of their drama (e.g. kimi wa petto etc ), dont wonder why they dont have their picture posted on the cast list... what more if ur taking pictures without even paying for it coz u pay only to watch the concert. _________________

oh d jap fans r so ... i dun believe them...ok well, maybe tt's gd la, for Johnny's ... Thanz for ur updates n WELCOME BACK!!! Can't wait 2 hear more!!!

Well, in some point of view, it's more pleasant than if there was a bunch of security guards looking suspiciously to everyone, taking a very long time to check if you've brought something bad, and even confiscate your phone because there's a camera in it.

I was seated next to 2 jun fangirls and i was conversing with them with my super limited japanese. and guess what, the girl right next to me has been a loyal fan to jun for 9 YEARS!!! she made a fan herself and stuck pics of jun since he was 13 yrs old all over it!
i asked her why there are only girls in this con (not even one guy well there were a couple of 7yr old boys with their moms but that's about it). and she told me that guys in japan will NEVER get into johnny's. in fact, they call arashi rudely by "Jrashi"!!!
and i asked her roughly who's the most popular guy in arashi in japan and she said sho or nino.
The concert started quite on time. Suddenly the lights just dimmed and OMG!!!, everyone turned on the silly-looking heart-shaped or star-shaped plastic lights and got on their feet and screaming!
ok, another learning tip, you have to absolutely get that kiddish light no matter how stupid u think it is, coz it's the only thing that can be seen and the whole stadium (exactly like the iza now huge con stadium) is just magical with all those waving lights. and it doesn't look silly anymore in the 3 hours of con to follow later... how i regret not buying it...

wahhhh...you hafta tell me how sexy my sweet sweet Ohno was too!! Jun is always sexy...thats normal! but tell me about OHNO!!!!
by the way! i'm glad you had so much fun!!! considering how much sleep and stuff you seemed to not be getting, i figured you would pass out after getting back from the concert! LOL!
