To everyone:
Wow, a lot of you guys are really hardcore fans, this place seems like a
really good spot for the latest Arashi updates too. After reading your
posts though, i feel a bit guilty for not being as enthusiastic and
emotionally into the Arashi members as a lot of you are. But, well, i was
always more into the music side of Arashi... rather than the personal side
of them. To me, they're still characters, larger than life, idols... i still can't
see them as regular people, despite having seen them in doramas and
variety shows... i guess i feel that way about all celebrities, especially
performers, artistes... that there's this huge gap between them and us.
It's just surprising to me, that you talk and feel about them so strongly, if
they were to read of how deeply you admire them, i'm sure it would
mean a lot to them.
Hmmm, also, this is by far the fastest thread i've ever seen. The forum i
used to go to had an average of about 1 to 5 new posts a day, on the
whole forum. I could leave for a week and still catch up within half an
hour. But this... i don't know... i write long sometimes, you see it? So it'd
totally drain me to do this everyday, i'm just not used to it, so i'm going
to be writing once every few days, if i can hold myself back that is. And,
well, i don't want to make a pest of myself by wasting huge chunks of
your thread :)
Ok, i'm going to reply to the people who wrote me now.
to juliah:
Kochira koso yoroshiku :) Hmmm, a league for male netballers...
I didn't know that... hmmm, let me ask you, when you played, did
you eat oranges during the breaks? Because we always had oranges
for energy or some reason like that. Well, the teachers told us to cut
oranges and bring em, and then they dumped them all into a bucket and
we took from the bucket. Oranges... sheesh, they should have given us
some gatorade and a pep talk to fire us up. But they never did... if they
let me give the pep talk, i would have said something like "alright ladies
and gentlemen, well, i guess there are no gentlemen here, i'm not a
gentlemen, not gentle at all, that's right, i'm a wild child, and as soon as
we're done eating these delicious oranges, i'm going to unleash some of
that wild power into my game, the power is provided by these oranges,
remember that, who's with me? i say who's with me?! I didn't come here
to lose, i came here to win this game and to eat oranges, so let's eat
these oranges, and become legends of the fall like brad pitt! I don't know
what that means either, so let's GOGOGO!" I mean, i know that's long,
but it's pretty good, don't you think so? Uh, i know a lot of people don't
like my humour, so i apologize if my reply just annoyed the heck out of
you... ummm, c u, and thanks for writing :)
to sawadasmile:
Hi... sawadasmile, hmmm, so does that mean Jun's your favourite?
And well, about ffvii... *sigh* it's such a weird issue for me, i spent years
waiting and hoping and dreaming for some kind of sequel, or remake,
anything... i was loyal to the game, i maintained that it was my favourite,
no matter what... i couldn't get the romance of it out of my head, there
was just so much to the game, and so much more that they left out, do
you feel me? And those dry years... you know? No word from square,
when all we had were fanfics, fanart, doujinshi, and role play (for the
really desperate)... those years, hmmm, i say "dry years", but they were
years in which i found a lot of comfort, knowing that there were so many
others suffering like i was... ffvii was the biggest tease, especially for
Vincent fans, and i know there were a lot of girls out there who liked that
guy... So finally, finally, when advent children hit the horizon, i didn't
know how to react, i couldn't believe it, i've now seen it, but i still can't
believe that i have. Part of me is still left back where the game left off...
and now the action sequel, the gba prequel, and all the merchandise... i
should be in heaven, but i'm not... for some strange reason, i miss the
days, when i missed ffvii... maybe i enjoyed the longing. You know? But
it's still the greatest. And that picture, the one of the piano room in the
shinra mansion, i don't know what it is about it, but since i first entered
that room, it's haunted me. I've even printed it out, framed it and put it in
my room. It's just so magical :) Ok, i have to ask you, who's your
favourite character, and what's your favourite music piece, location, GF,
and limit break? :)
to zaizaiaddict:
What?? You don't want things to go well for Satoshi? Hmmm... so you
want him to remain single, and lonely? Why?? I don't understand.
omg hair IS protein? Hmmm... well, right now, my hair's at various
lengths, i let it grow again, but cut it at different points. It's hard to
describe... at the back, most of it falls down past my shoulders but
curling up at the ends, in the front, it's down to my jaw line on the left
side and a little higher on the right side, but it's been layed really
randomly so there's bits that... it's a mess, i did it myself, but i like it :) I
really like asymmetrcial looks. Oh, and yes, English is my first language,
not because i went abroad to study, but because i was born abroad. I'm
japanese by decent, by blood, i speak it, but i'm hopeless at the writing
part of it, if you give me romaji, i could probably give you a decent
translation, but if you give me kanji, well, i'll probably look confused. For
the most part, my mind, it thinks in English, you know?
