wow you've been busy gacktsama! thank you for providing the aiba vs 20 women clip. back when nino had his short bleached/dyed hair i didn't really care much for him, but now that his hair style's changed he looks cuter! hair can really do a lot to how you look ne? also i've gotten to see his playful personality so that just adds to his cute factor. i think i like him the most when he gets all excited about his pranks. he used to look so young though. before he grew out his hair that is. whenever i looked at him i always thought he looked 17 or 18, not early 20s. maybe it was because he's a tiny guy too. _________________

nino always crack me up when he throws a tantrum. i love it when he dumped the recorder into the water tank. ohno never fail to amuse me with 'umai!' jun cracks me up with that 'ohji san?!!' and his dorky hair in mintere, aiba... just simply entertaining! well, sho's the only one who hasn't amused me for a long time...
hmm... i did say i'm liking nino more. actually, sho is sliding down for me at the moment... quick sho fans, defend him!
i only bash all the guys on this thread coz i know we all love them to distraction... it's kind of boring if i just go on writing another 1000 posts on how much i adore sho's rapping or nino's songwriting talent... i do love all 5 of them btw, just jun more. ok, i'm abit sick, i make fun of them alot too, even jun, if you'd check jun's thread. i was poking fun at his gay-ishness. but only on their threads.

hey bpchan, i'm exactly the oppo. of you!
i found nino good looking at first but now, he's just downright ordinary... ok... me runs before all the nino fans kill me...
but jun's been gorgeous to me since the 1st sec i saw him...
LOL, oops, I guess I wasn't very clear in what I meant. Err...Nino's looks are still very plain to me. What I meant was, some of the other Arashi guys went from ordinary to extraordinary in my mind. Based on looks alone, I don't know how people I once found ugly suddenly became beautiful but that's how it was with some of the Arashi boys. Weird, huh?

I agree. The boys get some tough lovin from me cuz I know that they can take it. And it's tough, but it's still love. And it is boring to just gush about people! There are only so many times you can repeat the same compliments before they start to become meaningless.
And Sho-kun's beautiful! *Pixie wills fy to love him more*

bpchan, i didn't misunderstand what you wrote. i was writing based on pure looks... i mean like a beauty standard (like really subjective here ok, everyone has their standards). i know how looks can 'feel' better when you know a person better. i work with so many models, talents etc that i can't help but be pretty literal about this comment. of course, he's becoming less short, less hunched just like jun's getting less poker-faced in my impression...

LOL, and once again, I screw up what I write. What I meant to clarify was the point that I still don't find Nino good looking. I understood that you were writing based on pure looks.
And the other thing was that based on pure looks, someone went from plain to good looking in my mind, e.g. Sho-kun. He was completely ordinary looking to me before but somehow (maybe my standards changed?), he's become an example of a person I would consider good looking.
LOL, and to stop us going around in circles, I'm gonna break the loop by heading to bed. Oyasumi. Hope to catch ya on mirc again!

AjiKan, thanks for the pics! I love that shot of RI-DA, it was already in my PhotoBucket, lol! We must go on a hunt for WSS-pics of RI-DA!
And thank you Yuna and GacktSama for the downloads!
YAY! *imitates Nino () * GacktSama, you finished it!!!! But how am I going to watch it?? My comp's soundcard died!
*vio has to steal her sister's iPod, sneak ARASHI songs onto it, then sychronize the audio and video together, and succeeds!*
lol, I LOVE the "WOO HOO!"s! They're great, especially during Sho's rap. Good job! My only complaint is that the video hitches sometimes and I have to resynchronize, but I think it's just my comp. ^^;
YAY!RBTY and Lucky Man are coming soon!
***
And to end MY confusion about all the Nino-Talk...[YAY! - lol, I love saying this! Gomen! ]
I always thought he was attractive in a next-door-neighbor/your-best-friend's-older-brother sort of way. Nothing super extraordinary and exotic like Jun or even Ohno [exotic? lol, is that the right word? XD], but completely charming nonetheless. It's a different sort of appeal when it comes to Nino, and once you tally up all the other X-factors like his other quirks and talents, Nino comes out to be a very good package.
There's just something about his moodiness that makes you think he's always hiding another thought or personality under the surface, and that mystery is what makes Nino intriguing as an idol and a person. When he's being mean, you wonder if it is just playfulness or pure spite. When he's being a goofball, you wonder about what happened to that romantic that he becomes during his solos on stage. When you see him perform his own songs, you wonder, "Where does he get these feelings and inspiration?" When you see a pic of him, you wonder, "What kind of mood was he in when this was taken?" And when you continue to look deeper at the pic to figure it out, it's possible to see his many sides all mixed up in that moment.
And in my opinion, this helps him in being the most photogenic out of all the boys!
[Once I said, "Don't you think Nino looks good in any picture he takes?" to my sister as I was looking through ARASHI pics online. She looked at the pics over my shoulder and replied, "Don't you mean he just looks the same?" XD!]

ahh today was the 1st day of school and it went so badly due to a very mean pre - cal teacher..... ANYWAY...i snuck my ipod out after that class and when i turned it on, SUBARASHI SEKAI was the 1st song! ahhh that just made everything better. *even though ppl thought i was crazy...b/c i started singing out of nowhere in the middle of the hall in japanese....* AND THEN that's not even the best part...i met a new girl who just transfered from michigan...and SHE LOVES ARASHI TOO!
I know I said that they would be at JATMUL, but I haven't gotten around to sending in the links. Gomen!
So here's a sample. The rest will follow. I just have to transfer a lot of things from my laptop over to this PC. Douzo!
vicky_coow, it's great that your friends know and love Nino now! Hopefully they will air more ARASHI doramas where you are so that they can get to know the other members' acting. ARASHI is becoming more and more known!
And peachie-chan, I just started school today too! That's so cool that you were able to find someone who loves ARASHI right away!
Way out in "the boonies", huh? Who knew? lol
Remember minna-san: STORM LOVIN' pops up when you least expect it!
***
And that leads me to "A Totemo Chiisana Kawaii vio-chan & ARASHI True Life Moment!"
Yesterday (lol, it's 4am right now) was my first day of school, but I didn't want to have ARASHI withdrawals, so I carried around the CD booklet from my Iza, Now album. When I got to school, one of the first persons I saw was my friend from that summer party. We said hi and started talking with some other girls when I suddenly rememebered what I had with me...
vio: Look at what I got! Lookie! Lookie!
*waves Iza, Now booklet in front of friend*
Friend: OMG! *grabs booklet and immediately flips through and finds Sho's pic*
Everyone Else:
Friend: *points to Sho* I'm going to marry him...He's SO HOT!
Everyone Else: ???!!!!!!!
vio: [That's not a very good pic of him tho...]
Man, with me and her, everyone is going to know ARASHI soon enough....
YAY!
[gomen for the megapost - owari!]

I'm gonna get beat up by Nino fans but when I first saw him (which was in Stand Up), I thought he was a complete nerd! As in he looked like one of those otaku types that I would stay far far away from in high school. And when I found out he was in a pop group, I kept wondering how could he be popular when he wasn't even good looking?
lucky me coz i saw him 1st in 2003 summer concert.. and lead me to know more about nino and arashi... and i think he's such a cute and funny guy..and i dun care what other's say about him... and the other member has their own kawaii attitude too... and that's why Arashi is so special...

you girls deserve a kick for your earlier reports of the latest mago!
well, because of your lukewarm reviews, i was procrastinating to watch it. but i just finished it now, and i thought it was pretty entertaining!
i thought both sho and ohno did pretty well. it was hilarious when ohno just died like that though! and sho looks kakkoi with a top knot! i was just lmao with the other guys throughout coz seeing them act so serious was... unexpectly funny! of course, i did notice that they acted pretty well.
i think the all guys should do more sketches like these in future. it's pretty good really!

Konnichiwa minna chan,
Would you guys be able to tell me the names of Arashi's photobooks? All I know of is Arashigoto - Marugoto Arashi no 5 Nenhan. It's my b-day on the 29 (yay one day before Jun) and I wanted to get some photobooks but I dunno which ones to ask for eheheh.
I also did Sakura Sake a few days ago but no need to post it here cus we have gacksama-sama's Karaoke PV. I've translated Kotoba Yori Taisetsu na Mono but I can't subtitle it yet because I need an avi version of the pv (my mpg to avi converter program doesn't work any more for some reason) so if anyone finds of a place to download that PV in .avi katatte kudasai! please tell me!
Also, I want to download Tokyo Tower, is the one in Arwenna-san's clubbox titled "tokyo tower sample" the actual movie? and does that .srt sub file go with it?
Sorry to talk so much... shabu shabu...
hope you guys can help me with the shashin-shu (photobook) question!!

i was also surprised to find mago mago, well, at least part of it, entertaining if only it wasn't that visible that they were wearing the false hair..... they both acted very well... ohno was so serious... and i liked the way he looked in that head piece too.
but i think the funniest part was 1. when ohno died all of the sudden and 2. the whole watching of the film process with the boys laughing their heads off and making comments.

ka-chan i agree with you about the part where ohno just died like that and the way the rest of the guys were having so much fun laughing and making fun of sho and ohno during the showing...
fybabe, it's not that i gave a lukewarm review, it's that i can't stnad the look of sho with that topknot - just not kakkoii!!! much as i love guys in yukata and hakama...
yamete_evie, the file is the full movie, i got it before the dvd-rip was put on the net. the subs that accompanies it has been modified by deragoth time it correctly while playing on bsplayer... so i guess you could say iot's the corrct sub file
20050824 d no arashi and minna no terebi is on the clubbox and pdbox.. i'm having a hard time uploading to ysi and megaupload, so thoseof you who can download from clubbox, please upload it to megaupload for those who can't use it..

Yeah I know what he said, he was just being honest, and said nothing that would make me mad...and I agree, men cheat because women allow them...if every woman stood by their values and didnt forgive or be forgiving of cheating men, they wouldn't do it...And then again there are only so many men and way more women in the world, someone is bound to find another person, other than the one they are with, attractive. It's human nature, and sure, if you're not satisfied with someone, why should you continue the relationship, it's best to breakup, rather than two-time that person, which is what Aiba was trying to say...
Sorry I agree with Aiba's points! Though, if someone cheats on be, ���˂��� Shineba ii (They'd have to die!!)
hmm... i must agree with you and the other girls who said this as well. i both disagree and agree with what aiba said. it's human nature to think women/men are good looking, and even if i had a bf, i'd still be thinking some other guys are attractive. i think i'd still be spazzing over arashi if i had a bf. hahaahaa. tho, i don't think the reason someone finds another person physically attractive because they're not satisfied in that relationship... does that mean i'll NEVER be satisfied?? *sigh* prolly. and aiba doesn't seem like the kind of guy who can settle with only one girl, and i kinda have the same feelings?? i dunno. i've never dated, so i can't say much about this subject...
and when i first saw nino in stand up, i thought he was really... not good looking?? i'm not usually a fan of thin lips, that's why i love sho and jun!! but for some reason, he's just gotten really cute over the past year!! he's definately grown up and changed in his looks, so maybe that's it. i'm still confused! i love how he doesn't try to be sexy, and he'll show his frustration easily. he used to be my least favourite arashi member, but he's climbing up the arashi ladder quickly!
@ryoko293. oh i totally agree!! i would've loved to just hug them and comfort them after those women totally violated them emotionally! hahhaa... poor boys.
and is it true that sho's having a new movie coming out?? supposedly filming starts in october, and it's a simple love story in an art school/university... so excited!!

onegai
well see ya later.
you'll need "Subtitle Workshop" to make .sub files, (separate sub file to play along with your video) and if you want to "hard sub" them on you'll need TMPEGEnc. At least that's what I use... ganbatte!
@gackt-sama and yamete: It is way more fun to watch their pvs if I understand what they are singing!! Thnk you so much for subbing them! Sakura sake is such a great happy-go-lucky song, love to dance to it (when nobody is watching *g*)
ok I'll try once again ^^ :
Gacktsama, where is your aiba-sig-pic (what a rime..*g*) taken from?
You're welcome for the karaoke, and it's not Aiba-chan in my siggie, it's Daishi Kajinaga from the jrock band Psycho le Cemu, but he does remind me of Aiba at times...and it's from the Risokyo Ryoko Zepp DVD. I fell in love with them after seeing them live, they rock!
Yeah what yamete_evie - start out with Subtitle Workshop, but if you want to have more editing power..Substation Alpha, and coding in a text editor like Notepad is what you need...And of course Virtualdub and TMPGENC! I love making subtitles on my videos, I've been doing it for over a year, cuz I like them on there when I burn them to vcd...

i'm i the only one who thought nino was sexy in a nerdy way in stand up? maybe its my wierd taste...anyway the way he acts, i find it rather hot... i love his cheeky expressions and kooky smile....and this wallpaper i think is hot
after watching stand-up, nino shot up to my number2 fav...b4 it was just jun being fav cus i didnt know much bout the others....
hahaha... it funny how some find him quite plain...man u lot have real high standards...come on...looks wise nino is way better than average...altho not the prettiest but still better than plain...
i have to confess something...
my first arashi wallpaper
I couldnt tell the difference between aiba and sho... i thought then they just look too similar....(had to distingush by hair...aiba has dead straight hair and sho has a slight waviness to his hair) took me some time to learn everyones names...
my first impressions basing on looks...
aiba is the prettiest...
jun is stylish...
sho pretty too...
nino cute japanese look...
ohno (please dont kill me) ugly not pretty compared to the others....
i wonder what everybody else first impressions were.....
