This is pretty far OT so I'm making it smaller. Skip over if you wanna stay Arashi-centric ^_^: Actually, I disagree that society shouldn't look harshly on some words, and I don't think negative views on certain words is just a holdover from more puritanical times. The meanings and connotations of these words are still the same. Fuck is still slang for sex, shit is still slang for excrement. That's why some people get offended by them. It's good to have options. The polite way to say something, the familiar way to say something, the rude way, the offensive way, the childish way, the brainy way, blah blah blah. The words people choose to use, socially acceptible or not, show a lot about them, who they identify with, their backgrounds and how they regard the people around them. So what's my point..um..if you have a polite way of saying things, you need an offensive way. A way that'll tick people off, make them uncomfortable or downright offend them. And for that you need the 'forbidden' attitude toward some words. It adds a lot of power to the language. K, I'll shut up now. ^_^

& thanks for the uploads.

(but, Peachie, I don't understand what you mean by saying 'shit' is degrading toward women?) And now the real reason I started writing this post - to share some old Jr clips of our boys! [As far as I know] These are from the old Johnnys Jr program Music Jump. Kamisen Performance A performance by Kamisen with appearances by Ohno and Sho (the other Arashi guys may have been in there somewhere too but I didn't see them) Tsubasa on Trial 16 year old Jun shows up in this one.

i didnt mean the word shit is degrading towards women, but the phrase "do that shit" because a lot of rappers over here use that phrase to refer to women and "sexing" them up. but not all the time. that's why i said sometimes it can be degrading.

nepooh back to arashi: arigatou for the clips! the one with jun chan is so kawaii.

peachie724- yayyy i downloaded it, maybe ill play around with it sometime too. haha, my friends still dont understand but ive given up trying to explain

yamete-evie- arigatou once again, for ALL of your translations and subs!! i finally got around to watching the baseball episode w/ur subs and they're great!! i loved the episode, it was sooo goood!!!

and i know this is like... really old, but i JUST got to watch the minna with jun and that woman who like hit him and stuff... what was that show for, anyway? does anyone know who she is, exactly? oooh is that like the teacher woman from gokusen2? (she doesnt really look familiar but her voice sounds soo familiar...) (sorry if i missed it if it was said before)... i found yamete_evie's translation and im glad i know whats going on now, but haha i recognized the guys from gokusen 2 so i was wondering what the show was all about anyway... gokusen?? i was wondering why jun was like presenting and stuff...

^_^ sorry i didnt catch it earlier if it was said...

i think i was just surprised that sho cursed in the song, but eh, i dont really have any problems w/it personally... but then again maybe thats how i grew up... its jst funny that hes cursing in english i think ill go d/l it now, thanks for the download mikamoui!!

NOOOO, haven't seen Mukodono yet, I'm going to watch the 'yankee' series with the subs first, masaki-chan as a teacher HEHE who would have thought that cute lil masaki will acctually TEACH something to kids (must be a funny class although I doubt that the kids can learn anything useful from him ! *g*)

Jessicasoon + kikikiwi we can buy the 24hours tv-shirts? NANI~? want one tooooooooo!

touch-thingy I was confused at first since I thought that Asians in general (please I'm not prejudicing! Just what I read ok? ^^ feel free to correct me) don't hug or hold hands in public much only if they are very very close, but Arashi has been together for so many years, so their touching didn't shock me that much...I see it as some kind of GREAT fanservice THNKX Satoshi-kun and Jun for the nice dreams you gave me!


DIE GACKTSAMA OMG what has happened to you??? you have those 'pieces of cotton wool' as your sig and avatar!!! OMG, please find back to your true self soon, I miss all those ecchi comments and gifs...*cry* hehe YOU don't have to complain, you still have ma-chan and jun ***** in your cupboard...BAD GIRL! ^^

Do that shit! Do that shit! Is shit a curse word? LOL! I hate the way society has deemed certain words as "bad"...I think they should not be looked down upon, but more as descriptive adjectives...Sometimes I wonder why we still follow allow with the ignorant confines handed down from the same people who swore the Earth was flat............damn shit fuck Guess I went offtopic

i still think the S word is "bad".... common.. just think about what it means.... and if you think about it ppl use that word when something bad happens...

like you forgot your really important homwork @ home... you say.... F..... or you say S..... ne???

i have a question....

sucede y acontece that i saw this Arashi clip... it was by the time Jun turned 20... (kawaii ) and arashi was in this talk show talikg a bout a present that aiba gave to junjun.... and they talk about pants and MESSHU.... and then they sing Hadashi no mirai......
i would like to ask U guys what are they saying. .. cuz i'm just learning japanese and i really don't understand what they say... i'm going to upload the video so maybe one of you guys... you beautiful and yasahiii tomodachi... can help me...

arigatou!!!

hi everyone!!

i don't know if anyone commented on this but about Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru, (something about it was posted a few days ago) i saw its CM and its not an Aiba drama..gomen.. i think jdorama got it wrong.. it's actually Sho's..

(uploading the CM... will try megaupload and ysi)

EDIT: here is the CM

thanks for all the uploads and subs and trans (even though i'm days behind.. )

Quote: japanese ppl don't consider it a 'curse' word...to them, they think it's just an american trend. I have noticed this. I see this in manga and in jdramas where English curse words (especially the middle finger) are used very liberally. Dang, Sho gettin' all ghetto. Do that shit. hehe

so that's why in Can't take my eyes off you clip, Sho did the "middle finger" thingy it was right before Aiba,Jun,Nino,Ohno entered.. my sister (who adores SHO so much) got upset because of it.. (she's only 12 )

it doesn't make any sense if the song meant "do that poop" though

just gonna be quick here... sorry~

i don't really know every single thing that they said in the show... but if i could remember correctly, at the end of the talk, jun(i think it was him, i can't remember) seemed to be a bit embarassed and tried to assure everyone that the member's of Arashi are not 'hentai'. LOL

as for the 'te agero', i'm not a big fan of 'curse words' (prolly coz of my strict upbringing~mom would get so angry when i use any 'degrading words', even to myself. this includes saying 'stupid'...hmmm~ ). even tho i bought HIG album and saw the lyrics, i still think that sho said "Do that shake~ do that shake~ Hit it!".

ja ne~ oyasumi

heres my input on the 'closeness' of the boys. i have a knack for noticing irrelevant and little detail but whenever the boys have a moment for hugs or whaever, nino chan seems to be the most lovey dovey, almost girly hugs and if you watch closely he's always touching and poking the others.

im japanese but i was born in the uk so im very western and the guys over here or my friends are very 'manly' in the sense that they hug but its often quick and a wack on the back, and only really hug when its a big deal not just for the sake of it. my mates in japan are more ok with gay guys and they hug more often, but my mates here arent homophobic or anything but they are comfotable with anything that make them seem it.

also i always wondered about the level of affectioon thats shown, western culture always say i love you etc but japanese doesnt and its really strange i think ive only said it a couple of times in my life to my parents vice versa but i can say it my boyfriend and friends easy. wierd huh?!

anyway another shocker ( sorry for the long ass info) and im just probably realy late on the uptake but

[u][b]SHO CHAN HAS A BELLY PIERCING!!!!!!!![/b] [/u]

i couldnt believe it i was watching an old waza arashi and he had a piercing, which just proves the great difference. guys dont have belly ring or pierings here, not to my knowlegde anyway (correct me if im wrong) and those who do are often heckled.

i have to admit im not over my shock yet so i dont know whether i like it or not but one things for certain, his body really diverts all the attention :nut:

Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru is an Aiba drama. A full 10 episode series aired back in 2003 and Aiba played a jerky teacher in it. The CM you have would be for a Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru Special that aired in 2005, starring Sho-kun. That was just a one-time thing.

They're both about this school in Hokkaido (correct me if I'm wrong) that began accepting delinquent students that other schools wouldn't take but they're different stories.

ahh.. thanks for clearing that one.. though in the pic here in jdorama and the only CM i've seen, it's Sho.. havent seen the one starring Aiba.. thanks again!

You can download both at d-addicts.com. And I think there are some screencaps of Aiba as a teacher at Arashi Introspect at amnos.net.

I'm still in the process of downloading Aiba's version so I dunno how the series is yet. Although, I'm amazed he's playing the role of a high school teacher when he was barely 20 at the time of shooting. He was practically a high school student himself!

It's expired? Well, if you go on the Rinkya.com main page there's a category link on the left side to 'Talent Goods' and you should be able to navigate yer way to the Arashi category from there. (follow the �l�A�O���[�v�� link on the first page that loads and after that the category listings are pretty obvious) 1000 yen's a pretty good price! Good luck!

Sho's bellybutton piercing was a bit shocking at first to me too! Seriously, I've never ever heard of a guy having his navel pierced. What possessed him to do that? It's such a sixteen-year-old-girly thing to do. Now that I'm used to the idea it's kinda hot...but Sho, if you're ever in the West, it'd be best to keep your shirt on* cause I think that's the sort of thing that'd make Western guys want to kick your ass.
(*unless of course you're in the West visiting me, in which case, do the opposite)

How come no one's commented on Saturday's MagoMago yet? I thought it was sooo cute. Lots of enjoyably fruity dance/cheer moves. Funny when Nino suddenly started beating up on the camera man. And poor Ohno having a hard time of it again - it was adorable when the Grannies chanted 'Fighto, fighto Sa-to-shi!' and he just walked away all embarassed and made that face at them. Not to mention his kawaii little solo dance. Ah, Oh-chan, how I love ya!

Wow, are you serious?! Sho has a BELLYBUTTON piercing?! ewwwwwwwwwwww, I mean...uhhhh, it's rather strange for a guy to have a belly button piercing...... *runs back towards Jun*....maybe Jun's nail polish thing wasn't so weird after all.

I was reading all those comments on the asian intimacy topic.....and I would just say it seems that asians to me at least don't voice their emotions like saying 'i love u' very much. But friends seem to be physically very close.....not in the sense of hugs but as in holding hands and stuff. And when I think about this topic, it just brings to mind my Chinese roommate and her friend who was visiting her and they were like sharing a comforter in bed with like almost nothing on and chatting....I guess that's how they get close. I find it very bizarre though..... But yeah, so I think that asians have different kinds of body contacts than westerners if that makes sense.

hmmm i like shos belly piercing ( aww and yamapi's too~~)
I think the reason why sho has done this is that in johnny's there are rules that you are not allowed to have visible piercings and tattoos~
so you can hide belly piercing better than other piercings, so perhaps belly ring is okay in johnnys

I think Sho wears the belly piercing well. Sho, have a nice body?

OT:
"Have a nice body?" <---------- if any of you have seen a Gackt cm for Takano Yuri beauty clinic where he's picking up the gal from the pool, she says this in the commercial.

Am I the only one that thinks that guys with naval piercings is very normal? Sho looks extremely sexy with it. I wasn't shocked at all when I noticed the piercing in a picture. Is it supposed to be weird for a guy to have a naval piercing? It's not like he has some shiny jewel or dangly chain - it's a nice, simple stud.

some guys look reeeally hot with belly button piercings... i think i saw it in a pic of sho one time... dunno i wasnt really surprised, but maybe that's cuz i got over that surprise awhile ago when i saw some famous taiwanese people with like... 8 ear piercings in one ear... and like piercings everywhere (sorry OT)

but i think as long as it looks good... who cares
