Thank You Uploads go to kkl and aicchuu.

buzzybug: Love your sig. That song has been stuck in my head all day! Especially the line, "Dakishimetai!" (What does that mean anyway?) I can't wait to finally watch a performance of it and your snippet made me hungry for it. ^^
AjiKan: Where did you find pics for your sig! It's so sweet! *lick*

First of all: Thanx to violomama for her fake clubbox! There is soooooo much good stuff in there. Thank you, arigatou, thank you, arigatou

No problem!
But now I've stopped calling it "my fake clubbox".It is now, "The Jdorama-Arashi Thread MegaUpload Library!" *points to sig*
BTW: Does JATMUL mean anything in any language? It's an abbreviation...

Ok, ok, no more doubting!!!
*thinks* Ne, if we doubt them so much, then does that mean they sing too well while dancing? Are they really that talented?

And I am working REALLY hard to go next year... Or can you postpone until 2007?

srubia: I haven't watched your film yet (my comp has no sound and my laptop died >.< ), but I know it will be sweet as always! The time you put into it is astounding. Thank you so much for making it and sharing!

I am also going back to school in... *looks at clock*... 9 hours.
But there is no other place I'd rather be than here! I think I might start crying when I finally watch srubia's film, because I will miss all of you very much and think about you and ARASHI in class. My posts will be less often and shorter, but I will continue to read and upload!

And as for colors.....

gelyn wrote:

to everyone: i dont wanna sound rude, but kinda hard to read all of your messages in bold colorful and various size characters. if possible can we just limit the colors we use? coz its a bit of glaring in my eyes.... a real pain i mean...

well...i haven't been on the thread in hours....and i'm sorry....i hafta say something....i hope people don't get offended, because i know my views are shared with other people heredon't think i am attacking anyone personally, i'm just trying to keep the thread in some kind of order...... could people PLEASE take personal conversations that are NOT arashi related OFF the thread? PM each other or something! take it to mirc...anything! people are complaining all the time about how fast the thread goes and how hard it is to keep up. the same thing goes for welcome back and thank you messages!!! PM them PLEASE! adding a thanks or a welcome back to a post that has other stuff in it is fine...but when its all the post contains...it just takes up space. lets all do our share to make sure this thread keeps on with arashi... and as a side note...i don't know that it bothers anyone else...maybe its the combination of the blue background with the colors...but could we tone down on the amount of huge multicolored text? i'm sorry, but there have been whole posts that i haven't read because of the color of the text. so if i have ignored anyone, it wasn't intentional...the all yellow and green text on the blue background gives me a major migraine to look at it.there are no thread moderators to keep an eye on things, so we hafta do it ourselves ok? ^_^

kaja wrote:

yes please! could we just use colours and various sized fonts for some special occasions? it's pretty but it's really hard to read, i mean-really. and when i want to read whta you guys wrote i just feel totally distracted by all the huge fonts and colours, cannot focus and whta you want to say... anyhow, the use of huge fonts and colours is to get someone's attention. you cannot focus on normal sentences, on what someone is trying to share because all that jumps into your eyes are those fonts/colours. in linguistics it is called macrostructures and belive me, overuse is bad for the general understanding of the text... (i really like when the stuff i studied apears to be useful and true in every day use )

I had no idea you guys felt this way! I feel very responsible, since before I was the only one doing full-colored posts! Gomen!!!
Does anyone rememeber in the beginning when I first started posting here, how I asked if the colors were too harsh?
(I know cuz sometimes they are for me too! )

It's just something I do, since the other messege board I post at is very plain and has a light gray background. Here, it is different since the background in dark blue and the colors become glaring.
I think we shall all try to use colors with more discretion in the future, and only for the most taisetsuna mono.

Still, personally, it made me happy to see all the colors, and especially when I saw these. ^_^

And finally, violomana...thanks for inspiring me to bring more color into my posts. Yours are always fun to see!!!

[P.S. I have uploaded almost all fancam footage of ONE. They should be at JATMUL () soon!]

wasn't it as usually nino who first started complaining why they had to be there since it is the a no arashi? and then wasn't he the first one to go at the end? he really is moody, ne?
and i think aiba was kind of surprised to the enthusiasm the girl was reacting with, which is funny. isn't this woman the same one aiba called obaasan? and she wanted to hit him? hehe maybe they invited her to make up for it

Dakishimetai = I want to hold/embrace you

I thought Nino had an "attitude"..he really didnt like the A no Arashi special LMAO! It's all good, I did! Nino always seems moody to me, then really hyper..can we say crack anyone...I'm just joking..I love Nano-pudding!

so which is better the overseas version or the limited one?

depends on how u weight it, if an extra dvd with making of one ( should be clips on recording of their solos in one album) is worth it for you then go one but if u prefer an extra song, then buy the normal edition. But if you are really undecided, then i suggest u buy both that is if u can afford to buy both.

@jcrina
u sure that there is also a photobooklet on the regular edition? how come i didnt know that!!! can anyone confirm this? i only have the limited edition which got 32 pages booklet, all i know is that regular edition (japanese version) got a coupon for raffle and same goes with their arashigoto book. and overseas version (taiwan edition) have coupon for raffle for their 9/4 video con party.

Haha, you see I just recently watched Gokusen and I came across a liking to Matsumoto Jun. So if anyone would kindly assist me in knowing more about this group, it would be appreciated. Oh and I also saw that Matsumoto had appeared in the movie of "Kimi wa petto" I read the manga and liked it, so I wonder do anyone know where I can download this movie to watch?

suggest u browse back more than a hundred of pages, and u'll learn everything about the group that were posted here before, if u prefer to download kimiwa petto over torrent site, search it here:
http://japan-tv.afraid.org:6969/ just pm me if u cant find any seeders that is..

congrats! violomana, this is also the first time i realized your name is violomana and not violin or somethin'...

and ladyusugi, we should all just be prepared to die for them.
i am, as of now typing in my office with this look like 'don't bug me, i'm writing a letter to the president...' so everyone stays clear away from me. and when i get home, if i don't have any personal events for the wkday or wkends, i mirc and net up to 8am sometimes and recently go to the office like 12pm on wkdays...

and the worse thing is that a friend even commented i look good nowadays meaning that i'm either dying soon or she needs glasses. i never knew eyebags, wrinkles and zits look good on anyone...
(there's a saying in chinese that when a person is about to die, he'll look suddenly better... )

EDIT

ok, kouchan, i know i'm missing something... what's this funny interview clip you're talking about?
can pm me?

nino is generally a moody type i guess... i thought the way he took care of jun was sweet, however, i had this strange impression he did it only not to have to blow those bubbles as he hated it in the first place. but i may be wrong.

and as for our sleepless nights (nice song btw, tokyo tower soundtrack ) i guess we all have that problem: watching arashi, listening to arashi and talking about arashi - gosh it does sound a little scary. perhaps we should go to a group therapy? (where we could talk more about arashi hehe )

i changed my mind, i used to think jun was the most materanl of the group coz he always cooks for them... but i'm wrong...
i think nino's got chronic pms. maybe we should send him some chocolates!
he's probably the most feminine guy in the group!!!
and coz of this realization, i kind of like him more. i like folks who express their emotions openly. i'm looking forward to his future tantrums... nice going sis!

and is that sleepless nights the norah jones song? coz of that, i started listening to norah jones as well... so much for guerilla marketing...

yes, and someone should help to translate at least some juicy bits of that arashigoto book. thanks!

LOL @ Chronic PMS (Psycho Male Syndrome) Nino definately has it!

I don't mind colorful posts..makes me notice them, cuz I ish blind sometimes.. YEAH!

actually i was referring to pre/post menstrual syndrome... pms

as for chocolates: let's. and i dont now if it's chronic pms that's bothering him he just acts like a 3-year old, when he doesn't like something he just does the face and goes: i'm taking my toys and going home!

when to think of it, jun doesn't make a face he just goes: mendokuse! yabe! hehehe.

perhaps there are some nino fans here? would you like to defend him? or share?

and yes sleepless nights is norah jones.

There's a Norah Jones song on the Tokyo Tower soundtrack????
Ano... And would anyone like to upload the soundtrack, onegaishimasu?
(I haven't even watched the movie yet and I already want to hear it! )

And docodomochan! So lucky! Sutdying in Japan AND you have a nice big photobook of ARASHI!
Have fun, ne?
Nino + PMS = + =
lol, Math no ARASHI!

ok, kchan. a 3 yr old with perpetual pms...
let's give him a continuous supply of lollipops!

i'm now a converted nino fan. i think he's one of a kind. evil 3yr old with pms who writes songs and plays the guitar... sounds like a marvel comic hero... and someone should give him a metal plate for his hunched back too.
cool.
i like nino. i like him taking care of his teammate ie. jun
i would love to see more n no arashi!
