Yes! Whatever it is they're doing...it looks like fun. lol. Did you cut out all the pictures already? I have so many comments that I want to post on my blog, but I don't want to scan the pics and ruin the book. It's too pretty.

My PC sucks, so I only managed to scan the first 6 pages before I got tired of it XDDDD
Tomorrow I'm at home all day, so I'll be scanning the whole book
I'll post them here, but since each scan is about 2/3MB it's going to take me a while~ ><''

OMG!!!
maji de?!!!

yay!!! OMEDETOU!!!!
demo...i just wish NINO-chan was also there to witness it!
i wonder if it'll also win the Oscars?!
_________________

I just saw the Golden Globes too and sooooo excited and happy when they announced Letters as the winner!!!!! Cho ureshiii!!
Oh, I was totally wishing Nino was there too right next to Ken. Hmm, wonder if he will write anything about it in his Nikki. . .?
But really, the film deserves to win and I'm glad Nino got to be a part of it.

yey! for Letters From Iwo Jima winning the Best Foreign Language PIcture
ryoko-chan! I love your crack subs! It still full of crack without the subs though but still love the crack subs! Mathew's the best ne~ I still can hear his whining just thinking about the clip. Kazu so suave in it too Did the Arashi boys did any appearence in Mathew's best hit other than that? Remembered the hilarious Hyde in Mathew clip. KAWAII YO HYDE CHAN! mecha kawaii karaokeing with that pink microphne

glad to hear that you LOVE Izaa now monta
wanted to reply your review post earlier but just couldn't
this will be a wee bit long reply

Finished watchin the Iza Now con again i have to say i'm not really into boybands, but. i know this is really hard to say and i've never said this for a boyband, especially for something that comes from JE, THIS CONCERT IS AWSOME !!! . Gosh i enjoooy Arashi (and TOKIO ) musically soooo much !! This concert is swell. really. it's very very seriously done. coreography, and the whole sphere concept thingi on the back. bravo! i like it as much as i like my Ayu cons. Are other arashi concerts as good as this? or this is the best one?

There's only 3 oficial con release of yet. Try How's It Going & Suppin (their 1st con). Suppin is kinda cheesy but there's some really good performance in there. The ONE con special DVD is marvelous just 20 minutes of love though. I've watched some ONE fancams & its terrific! Johnny's is stupid for not releasing it Another recomendation is Ohno solo con fancam. Excellent fancam . Ohno EXCELLENT! All the songs were pumped with extra goodness because of Ohno singing it alone The best con after Izaa IMHO.

Quote:

I hate the african remix musically, but the costume was somehow unique and made the dance less-boyband-ish. nice! I love all the solos. (well, not really for Jun and Nino's)

the shreded african garb & dance but is kinda cool but the remix of Nemuranai Karada ruin it for me. The rest is ok.
Konseki is the 2nd best solo for me in the whole con & Jun's the 3rd.
Konseki is the 1st song that grabbed my attention to search more about Nino & Arashi. I felt the emotion without even understanding the words and surprisingly(then) I discovered it's composed by the Kazu himself (he even uses olden Japanese! how am I not impressed). Nino officially pwns me when I read a translation of the song. Jun's solo is just so sweet. He wrote the lyrics of La Familia too (Jun asked Sho what's family in spanish since he's taking it in U & used it as the title for the song). It described the bond that they have between them. There's even a reference to Aiba heartfelt open letter to the members for 24hr TV (will explain further about this) The 1st is Ohno's obviously. Searing dance move which was choreographed by himself. Sasuga Captain!

Quote:

i really hate the song with the gay hand and butt moves. what was it? i think it was Eyes with delight

they are well known for their gay hand & butt moves . Especially the latest release (Wish, Kitto)

Quote:

who wouldn't loovvee the Tomadoi Nagara latin remix? my gosh it was daymn good.

told ya so!

Quote:

LOL, Nino looked 15 in his solo. boy he has the word c-u-t-e tattood on his butt. but the vase of flowers were a bit lame. especially the flowers. couldn't they choose a better flower?

COMEL kan? he was sick (inflamed glands which made him unable to hold the mic more than half an hr) while doing the whole tour. The purple flowers represent his lost(dead) love in his song. the translation if you are interested : http://community.livejournal.com/honyakukonnyaku/871.html

Quote:

how close are they in real life? i like it when they hugged

They are really close. They share tears & laughter together. This is evident in Aiba letter for the annual charity TV program - 24hrTV. Arashi was the spoke person for that year & had to appear on tv for 24hr to promote variety of charitable works. They themselves participate on personal projects for the handicapped. (Ohno teaching the deaf how to dance, Jun drumbeating with a wheelbound man, etc,etc). At the end of the day Aiba read them his heartfelt letter & unexpected tears start to fall. Aiba expressed his gratitude for them being there for him when he was sick with pneumothrax (collapse lungs, he fainted after one of Nice Kokoriki performance & was admitted). It might sound cheesy to you but we (the fangirls) can truly feel their honesty & bond between them. The yellow T-shirt they wore at the end of the con is the official 24hrTV shirt exclusively designed by Ohno Satoshi

Quote:

there's actually some backstage stuff or crack or whatever. i didn't care bout that.

the crack is WAY BETTER in How's It Going, but you wouldn't care much about that. Give it a try once the HIG con dvd arrives. Hillarious Oh.. they made a special crack song for Jun 20th birthday. Did anybody kept the translation? I lost mine :p

Quote:

GREAT JOB ARASHI!!! ( i now i'm a bit too late. wkakakakak ) ow, and i think my tracklist is a bit mixed up. can anybody give me the tracklist? or maybe it's juts me

can somebody help with this? i don't have the con tracklist also. Haven't bought the original dvd yet

to Monta: glad to see another Arashi's male fan
yeah they music is so good , you're right Arashi and TOKIO are the only worth to listen in that strange japanese agency

2)harukaze sunika
3)Runaway Train
4)crazy ground no osama
5)arashi no mae no shisukeza
6)donna kotoba de
7)I Want Somebody

and "RIGHT BACK TO YOU" is one of my favorite from iza,now sounds a bit americanish but their voices sounds so interesting there

yeah iza,now so great concert, I even have to buy 2 coz I ruined my first one from too much seeing

a Hikaru-Sakurai: estoy feliz de verte de nuevo, gracias por los videos que siempre pones, aqui los fans de Arashi en Peru los disfrutamos mucho

one question to all the people:

now that I have time to download Nino's new drama

a few questions:

1)any hardsub version available?
2)any soft subs I can add to the raw file (when I found it)
3)can someone tell me the name of Nino's character (even in Peru everyone knows Matsujun is now Domyouji Tsukasa)

thanks!!

Johnny's is stupid for not releasing it!

i though people have realized that johnny is a stupid ass since ages ago.

when it comes to concerts, i dun really like nino and jun . nino is cute and stuff but when he dances... i can't bear it. too funny. Jun sometimes annoys me with too much fanservice... really too much!
the other three are just marvellous! Bambi's serious stiff face? becomes cool in solos.

Eeeeehhhh... i hate the gay butt and hand swing. and they're actually using it in one of the karaoke-ish song?

Tomadoi nagara latin remix

comel? definitely! but he was more comel in the Kotoba Yori song. with the blue thingi on his head. wkwkwkwkk

technicolour teddy

thanks a lot!
