Arashi

fybabe wrote:violomana, i dun think any con camera can capture that kind of excitement.
it's so different from just watching the con dvd and seeing it live. coz i feel that this arashi perf is so... such a different experience from any other cons i've been to.
i mean, i've been to ALOT of concerts, eastern or western bands, etc... some have extravagent stage sets or lighting or backdrop graphics or laser shows or fancy change of wardrobes or fancy choregraphy, but this arashi con is... i dunno how to describe... like a variety show + singing + dancing + acting, etc...

and i feel that it's so different from the iza or previous arashi cons...
firstly, there's alot of talking. maybe in previous con there are too but not in the dvd??

after like the 8th song or so (?? gosh forgive me, i'm really hopeless at keeping score and i can't even remember the song sequences...), the guys wave their hands at us, gesturing us to sit down ( :sweat: new experience for a con), so everyone complied... and they start to CHAT with one another for like 30mins!!! i hated this segment coz i dun understand a word, and there's no kanji subs to help!!! but everyone else seems really entertained and they laugh alot at what the boys say!

ok, another learning: either learn japanese or hire a translater to sit next to me in next yr's con!!!

*feels like she wants to cry* :shamefulcry:
Was it really that mind blowing??!!! fybabe, you're not making this any easier! I'm happy that you got to go to such an awesome concert, but.... *pained face* XD! :puppydog:
Acting? Did they do a skit? And an intimate sit-down talk?! Those are my favorite!!! Man, it's times like these that I really did wish I was Japanese. ><
*smacks hand on table* That's it! I've decided I'm going to try my best to go to Hawaii for spring break next year. The boys always visit on March 30th and 31st for Arashi Days, right? I am SO going to be there! *goes and looks for a job*

I must say that the star for this con overall is Sho.
Although jun did a shocking solo, but sho was like the MC and his rapping is like a thread throughout the con. and for some reason, all the talking in the 'wakaranai' segment seems to revolve around him! at one point, the other guys were all admiring his arm muscles... so drooool ya! :muack:
and battlegirlai, unfortunately, ohno hardly talked or stood out that much in this segment. most of the talking was between sho, nino and aiba. jun is sort of smiling on, as usual...

but ohno and nino did a really baka segment, which i also didn't really get :shamefulcry:

dunadan , Mylani thanks sooo much for the songs!!!

arashilove wrote:Oh, yeah, sorry but forgot to add:

In the "Midnight Train" mp3, who is the one doing the talking? And Mylani, if you have the performance, can you please upload it? Thanks.

That's cute little Matsujun talking!

About japanese boys not liking Arashi/Johnny's, I always ask my male japanese friends about Arashi/Johnny's and they usually are polite but say that they are for girls. My friend Seigo started singing "arashi arashi for dreams...." one day, surprised me but he was giggling like a school boy, but apparently there is no escaping the Johnny's...they are everywhere! like roaches!

Yeah they are no where as vocally talented as the Backstreet boys, sorry just my opinion.....Weird that Japanese boys love Backstreet boys but not Johnny's, wonder why, i guess foreign male groups are more exceptable to them...

nope, not any intimate talk, looks like alot of casual bantering as if there weren't audiences around... which is why it was entertaining.

you're definitely gonna find me doing the hula dance with those boys...

I would love to buy all the Arashi stuff,album & concert dvds!But sad to say i can't buy it online same as Violamana's situation!I don't have a creidt card and my parents don't like online buying stuff! :shamefulcry: So far the only Arashi stuff i have is the Iza Con coz i ask my friend who went to HK to buy it for me!But im not giving up im going to finds ways how to get their album! :D

Wow Fybabe you sure is fast updating us after watching the concert!It's ok if you give as details by details we are not in a hurry! :victory: It's fun reading your experience about the con!!!

he was lying flat on his belly and teasing the hundreds of fans underneath

Oh Gawd when you said this part while i was reading it i suddenly stop and picturing him as if im also watching the concert!!!! :drooling: *dies*
Matsujun so HOT!!!! :rolly: Such a tease!

Thanks for the info regarding about the concerts like the tickets and all!!!
Damn i need to save a lot of money so i can buy those tickets from scalpers if ever im going to attend a concert!

Just wondering how come they allow this scalpers to sell concert tickets and the JE are so strict regarding the tickets like only the fan club members can buy it! :headscratch:

oooh so "midnight train" is definitely arashi's song??

hahaha... roaches... ewww, sorry that line just made me laugh, haha. just like how the description of jun made me hyperventilate..

haha... i grew up in the age of backstreet boys... they're good. i like them much better than nsync... and yeah, i dunno. even if arashi's vocals arent as up to par as bsb, i still think that they're adorable and talented all the same. :D soooooooo cuuuuuuuute i wish i understood japanese...

oh ya, before i forget, there's this cute moment with jun after the 2nd or 3rd song...
All the guys found excuses to pop off stage one by one (costume change). First, Aiba, then Ohno, then Nino, and when it was jun's turn, he started to complain how hot he is... poor boy, he's drenched in sweat literally, and he was standing in the middle divider of the arena, and he asked for some wind... and the WHOLE STADIUM just started to fan him like crazy with our idol fans!!! we were all cracking up and jun was literally enjoying the 'breeze' and he was complaining for more and we all fanned harder and laughed the whole time... kawaii ne!!!

i didn't forget the other boys... just that jun's actions were bolder and unexpected this con... the other boys were just like their usual kakkoi selves.

I've known that Shou is most popular (but that time I didn't think like that) b/coz I've ever seen a web-site that vote for Arashi's members for 3 years so I recognize that Shou is Number 1 and Jun is the last :sweat: and I don't think that. If Jun is not the most popular, Jun should be 2 or 3 popular of arashi's members, I think. And I don't remember what is the rank of other members.

Ok Then I go to bed, so sleepy. Oyasumi :muack:
