Of Medleys and Jeans...and Dream Collabs

[dvampyrlestat]

Tensei Kunpu - Ohno Satoshi's butai. Everybody scream...."CAPTAIN~!!!"

Maou Ep6 hardsubs...afew more to go!!!

Tell me, as I haven't tried Torrent before....is it usually this slow? lolz. Like...MU is even faster???

WHO'S SEEN MUSIC LOVERS?!

My iPod's going to combust. *sigh*

Yankumi was there. And all the time I was going, "Ahhh. Yankumi is witnessing a not-delinquent-and-aloof-anymore Sawada Shin!"



I blame mee_goreng for fueling my budding OTP. Really. OTPs were never my thing (only found out the meaning of the acronym a few weeks ago...Yes.).

But the blame's not entirely without gratefulness. COZ IT'S FUN!!! lolz.



Taishou is cocky. He should keep this up, if only to look this hot. 



He made Yankumi laugh (and probably wish he was in her class. Aherm.)

I love her for thinking (and saying) that it won't be any good WITHOUT OHNO.



Have you guys noticed lately how he does this when embarassed/shy/put in a spot? Reach for the hair at the back of his neck.....



Then came the talk about Jun's rings. Apparently, he 'injures' Sho when they do a high-five...



...and then Aiba whenever Jun hits him over the head. 

If you ask me, though, in Aiba's case, it would be self-inflicted. It's mainly due to his bakaness that the DoS hits him over the head so much. 



And what does the DoS do?

Be the DoS that he is.



*sigh*



Even Keio boy ain't spared. Poor Sho. He did not see this coming. :) First Aiba outs him on his jeans--wearing habits, and Nino just piles it all in. :)



And Riida is not helping AT ALL.



Being the good (or gullible-around-Arashi) sport that he is, he demonstrates.



Hot.



I'll stop now. Restraint, self!

CK (yuckie_chan) will be subbing this so YAY! I think Sho-putting-his-jeans-on was the clincher.

So I've watched bits and pieces of it. I've resolved to watch it continuously without interference later tonight, but a few thoughts.

No, I didn't buy the DVD. I just leeched it off the wonderful people at news_jpop.

The fountain in the middle of the Dome was astounding. WOW. What next? JE concerts are really pulling out all the stops, eh?

Nande Nande Dame. Sho and Nino came out. Sho kept  teasing me with glimpses of his torso. Next to Tegoshi, he looked soooooo manly. And Tegoshi looked soooo girly. *hides* Shouhei and Ken-Ken rode in the same cart. Cute! Tomo-chan and Kazu-chan are really friends. :) Now all the crowd lacked were Shun and Nari.

Oh, wait. They're not Johnny's. *rolls eyes* Good to know Kitagawa doesn't have the monopoly on hot young guys. XDD

Speaking of Tego...he sang Ai Nante solo. I LOOOOVED that song, and while I agree that he provided the lung power in that, what made me love it all the more was that Ryo and Shige sang a ballad and actually sounded good.

...And they didn't sing it here with him.

Although, I preferred Tego singing this song ON THE RECORD. Granted, he did quite a good job on this one. The voice is there, the lung power...sometimes he just goes flat. SOMETIMES. Which did not escape me because that is how much I love this song.

I shouldn't be overly critical, huh, since this is Johnny's we're talking about.

Still, I enjoyed it. They're definitely improving as performers, but I think they need to build more rapport. Their MC was kinda strained. Maybe coz I'm so used to Arashi MCs...

Totally random, though! My dream song collaboration would be....OHNO and TEGO. If they can add in Sakamoto, I'll die happy.

MEMEME!! I WATCHED XDDD!!!
I liked the songs they did, the talks had me cracking up, and they did a CM for each member - I'D NEVER SEEN THE AIBA ONE BEFORE.
And Nino's dress... XDDD
Did the same thing for the NEWS DVD, heard that Massu came up with the water idea and albiet initially being ignored it turned out quite pretty ^^
Nino and Sho are briefly there in the encore bit too~.

[coathangerwings.livejournal.com]

i've never laughed so hard in my life as i did when they outed sho on his tacky fake jeans (jogging pants, from the look of it) and nearly busted my spleen when he put it on and did several tiny pelvic thrusts. XDDD

[jinnyss.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen this yet... D: Oh god.

Torrents are usually pretty slow, depending on how many seeders you have. But the popular ones are lightning fast. It also depends on your torrent downloading/seeding program, and internet connection.

But I'm actually commenting because I realized that you and jeffer are the same person (I think I knew this before but the knowledge just sort of came in and went out almost immediately), and I wanted to say thank you again for proofreading the timing before. And also to thank you for your hard work on Maou (which I'm thoroughly enjoying as a completely shameless leacher). And because I'm adding you as a friend, and I hope you don't mind. =|

...:( I don't know how to end this comment.

So, how about those white Ohno pants? Pretty nice pants there. Very nice. ... D:

CK ([info]yuckie_chan) will be subbing this so YAY! I think Sho-putting-his-jeans-on was the clincher

Yes that was my motivation indeed xDDDDD You know my weakness too well xD

*currently is brain-dead at minute 11*

[loissama.livejournal.com]

i've already watched this 3 times i think! although i don't understand at all but i love the mini concert and that keio boy in this show is so cuutteee!!!!
especially about the fake jeans part, love it! shake it, baby!!

and i wonder what was nino wearing...looked like he was wearing a long apron...
aib's hairstyle....ggguuuu!!!!

news' MC kinda....? it's different from arashi's MC. maybe another reason is because news' member aren't really as close as arashi. that's what i think...

[supahkul.livejournal.com]

what is OTP anyway?

[perfectlyimperfect]

Torrents depend on number of seeds and the speed of the internet connection. Sometimes they're slower, sometimes they're faster. I-I don't understand it completely to be honest. XD

I just loved how the boys addressed their concerns with each other on the talk part. As many said, it's like a mini-Arashi concert; it never even failed to include crack. LOL.

[abby-gaby.livejournal.com]

WOW love your screencaps..ohno is hot as usual..

as for torrent, I use the utorrent downloader (which I have read is the best torrent downloader and works like a gem for me)..as already said, the speed depends on the number of seeders and your connection. But I find it easier to download huge files through torrents than MU or MF. Best thing is that it doesn't really matter if I pause downloading for days or even weeks. Plus, when there are quite a number of seeders (like for our jdoramas), the downloads are lightning as compared to MU or MF :)

[nani-ga.livejournal.com]

Yankumi!!! I actually rooting for Yankumixthe police guy..cause basically at that time I want Shin for myself xDD Then I found Bambi and the rest is history lol

OTPs were never my thing (only found out the meaning of the acronym a few weeks ago...Yes.).

Yay good for you! Don't worry i found out about the meaning of it last year, when i started into pairings... LOL.. There are another one: OT3. I think you'll get what it means? ;) Canon pairing is more like Ohmiya, which is an obvious pairing. Juntoshi is subtle so i don't think if we could categorise it as canon pairing. I'm sorry if i've tainted your mind with Juntoshi muahahahahahaha *doesn't sound too sorry at all..*

Oooooohh Music Lovers (i'm downloading it now)! So Oh-chan sat next to Jun!!! <3 Happy that they sat next to each other once in a while. This is what i love! I have you as my Oh-chan's flail caps source in addition to the occasionally throw in Juntoshi rabu rabu caps. I have evorlardnek for my Ohmiya rabu rabu source. Perfect!!! Oh-chan looked extremely fabs in this <3

Have you guys noticed lately how he does this when embarassed/shy/put in a spot? Reach for the hair at the back of his neck.....

*nod nod* I notice that as well! (and he looked pretty in that cap as well!! Thank you!!) Apart from that, there's on certain occasion when he's ____, he'd blinked his eyes or sort of scrunched up his nose. Something (which i vaguely remembered what) would trigger him to do that, just like when he's shy, he'd touched his hair at the back.

First Aiba outs him on his jeans--wearing habits

Yeah they even complained about that in last week's AnS. Poor Sho XD;;; He likes to show off his muscles yet the other members are making fun of him ^^
_______________________

You're talking about Pacific right? I'm no News fans but i did download the MC cut for Nino and Sho :D

Their MC was kinda strained

That's what i thought too. They should loosen up for a bit and do something dorky or something. "Bully Make fun of the other members" for example. They looked a bit rigid or rather too self-conscious?

Now all the crowd lacked were Shun and Nari.

You mean Nari-chan as in Narimiya Hiroki, don't you?? <3

My dream song collaboration would be....OHNO and TEGO.

Does this mean that you like Tegoshi???! Tell me you like him! LOL. This is exactly what i thought when i heard him singing Ai Gasa Gasa as a Tegomass unit! I've heard him singing live and he wasn't that bad (of course i think he's not yet on par with our Ohno) but i love his voice <3 I'd love to see them duet together. Johnny please make our wish come true!!!!

[evolardnek.livejournal.com]

they were all so sexy! great performance! AH~ Nino in his dress XD Ohno has always done that reach for the hair at the back of his neck thing i always saw it as a "i'm the really shy leader" cute gesture<3 Sho and his GPANTS XD Oh god~ FINALLY! someone said something about Jun's giant rings! i've been waiting for someone to say "you wear HUGE rings! why?" XD

[indayze.livejournal.com]

...I haven't watched anything Arashi related since I came home, just been DL-ing like crazy. And those caps just made me realize how much I miss watching the sparkles on my computer. ;_;

BUT OMG! I know what you mean when you said you forget they're not part of JE. They're like, honored JE members or something. D:
(But I didn't know Yamapi and Nino rode a car together. I need to watch that concert.. XP)

[tomokaku.livejournal.com]

Reach for the hair at the back of his neck.....
lol It's fun to see how they do certain things in certain situations. Like when Nino touches his chin etc.

Jun and his rings.. And he's obviously enjoying hurting his fellow members 8D

[aishoni.livejournal.com]

OTP. yankumi and shin? Jun+Yukie? gosh.. i love these two to hook up and make babies. Yukie is very serene isn't she? I've seen her as bubbly in G@me and pretty spunky as yankumi but she's truly an elegant lady. Honestly not the kind of person I want serious Junnie to end up with (blame it on Tsukushi/Dom) but the chemistry when they are in close proximity.. ♥

babbling..i just want to comment..

*am feverish*

[terge-18.livejournal.com]

uwaaa!!!! XD ive watched this too but im really xcited w/ yuckie-chans' subbed version!!

kyaaaa~~~~ I REALLY LOVE RIIDAA!!!

[twistedhalo04.livejournal.com]

Hi!! *waves*

Yankumi still pwns me after all these years :DD Another thing on my need to watch list *le sigh*

Pacific DVD. Oh loads of fun really. XD Nande Nande Dame has to be one of the cutest songs I've heard. It helped that the Arashi boys came out. :D

A few more years together and hopefully they'll build that rapport. And I stand by the belief that Arashi MCs are probably the best out there. Of course this is from a completely biased perspective :D

[silgari.livejournal.com]

You always choose good caps! ^_^
I think the performance was great! Remember what we were talking about, that Arashi should make a concert and be more close to the audience, just like U2! Can you imagine? It would be just like the performance in Music Lovers! That way you can jump on stage and kiss Ohno, and..... whats the word... pinch his butt.. I don't know... but just grab his ass! hahaha!

Looooooooooove Sho's pants! wacka-wacka-wacka (That's me laughing)! So funny.. and he was so embarrassed and soooooo cute! Where do they get those clothes? jajaja

You are right Ohno reachs for the hair at the back of his neck... but you know what I have seen him do a lot? He touches his nose a lot. Have u notice? It's like a tick

[dw9lives.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, i've yet to watch Music Lovers... I'm always late in watching everything so no surprise that i haven't seen it. lol. from the captions and caps you have I look forward to watching it though, thanks!

I also loved the rest of your entry, not sure why but I always get happy when I find that Arashi fans like NEWS too. Seeing how many Arashi fangirls there are, NEWS just doesn't get enough love, in my opinion. Wanted to mention a bit about their MC though, compared to Arashi... Arashi has for the most part 4 very talkative guys, NEWS on the other hand... Pi and Massu are very quiet, Ryo really only talks when Shige says something b/c he likes to tease him and Shige talks b/c he corrects something baka Koyama says and really Koyama's the main one who talks. Tesshi just stands back and laughs at everyone. Oh, and when he talks, he usually talks like he's better than everyone else and Shige usually has something to say to that. lol. wow, yeah, i'm such a NEWS fan... lol, sorry about that. just a little explination of why it might seemed strained...

As for Ohno and Tegoshi singing together... wow, I would definitely buy that single! Adding in Kanjani8's Subaru would be cool too, that guy can sing really well.

sorry for such a long comment!!

[waku-waku.livejournal.com]

MUSIC LOVERS is ♥!!!!
they were so happy during Love So Sweet! I liked it a lot! No, I liked everything!!
Thank you for sharing!!!

aww.. Kenken and Shouhei ne? I just saw parts of it- the encore and MC part. It was really cute how they were made to go up the stage several times! and they had the towel, the shirt, the pen light! Fanboys in FULL FANBOY GEAR!!! kawaii!

PS: Nino in pants or Nino in a dress is soo drooool-worthy. He can take of the jeans inside the "dress" and music lovers would not have aired. haha. (explicit content, and child pornography lol)

Tensei Kunpu *faint*
I will download. And then I will rewatch my DVD like there is no other DVD in the world.
Thanks!~

Sorry if this is long.

Torrent speed just depends hugely.
I find torrents more convenient, but for this kind of project MU might be better. Personally I like MF best because I don't run into the "wait two hours" rule and I can download multiple parts at once. It may have disadvantages to you as an uploader though, I don't know.
The reason I think torrents might not be as good for these projects is because it's inconsistent. Instead of being hosted at the website, it's hosted by all the users that have it and are signed in. If a lot more people have it than need it, it'll go super fast. But if very few people have it, or it's getting old and people want to get it out of their HD so they stop hosting it... then it can go very slow or stop altogether.
You work with Stormy, though, don't you? I thought you did. They've offered Maou as torrents, they could probably tell you some better statistics.
