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.

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

You always choose good caps! ^_^

Oh, you mean, caps of Ohno. YES.

One of the lady guests did point out about there having casualties if Arashi does this close-to-the-fans thing more often. :) I was actually surprised there didn't seem to be any groping when Jun and Aiba stood in the midst of the audience. Those girls had extremely strong restraint!

I used to see those kinds of jeans here in my country years ago, but mostly ladies' jeans. They could fool you, though, but you can quickly tell they aren't real. Sho's was....genius. I mean, even the leather thing hanging was PRINTED!!!

YES! There's that, too, touching his beautiful nose when he's embarassed....

Funny how we notice these tiny things....:)

Ohno looks pretty hot! HotOhno! But I couldn't take my eyes of Aiba! Hehehe

They should make their concerts like that. Arashi concerts look fun, but it would be so much better if they are closer to the audience. But I guess is a Japanese thing, or more a for Japanese artist. Cos when U2 was in Japan, they did their should like they always do. With the audience very close! I think it makes it more personal.. Just my opinion.

I know.. how could those girls resist not grabbing those two? I think Aiba is looking sexier every day.. I forgot.. which performence are we talking about? They are everywhere this days... Music Lovers right? I saw last night the whole HeyX3 episode. What did you thought of Ohno's dream? I think like Sho, Ohno is not missing anything. But probably some part of him, just wanted to be a normal persona.. and go to the university, go to work. Just like the rest of us. A frustrated dream perhaps?

Yes.. we notices everything! He's adorable when he touches his nose, but the first time I saw him do it I thought he had a bugger on his nose.. so I went YUCK (Guacala in Spanish) .. but it wasn't a bugger thank god! XD

Well, when Westlife came to the Philippines, there was this...around 2 meters barricade from the stage to the audience, with guards posted on the fences (some are so big they block our view).

...Maybe it also depends on the place. haha. Japanese fans can be quite manic. And I can say the same for Filipino fans. :) Plus, in the case of JE, their agency seems to have this rule against the JE boys getting into any sort of public relationship, right? Cuz technically they could say that the boys' image are that of public properties. And their popularity would shoot down if they had girl friends...so I guess that's also their way of preserving the mystery. lolZ.

Yes. We're talking of Music Lovers. And 'bout Ohno's dream....I don't think he lacks anything. He's the type of person who can do anything he sets his mind to. And maybe the university part was just his frustration for not continuing his studies. :)

I gotta tell u, I'm not very fond of JE rules. But what u gonna do! I do agree with u, if people (specially fanatic girls) found out they have gf their popularity would shoot down. But it seems to me a little weird... let them have girlfriends.. or boyfriends, whatever they like. But let them be! I personally would be... first a little shock and a little hurt (that's the little /Aiba fan/ immatured girl talking) but then. Kudos for them if they find a gf and falling in love right?!
The thing I don't like about JE is the fact that it feels like they are just products for sale.. and they are, but they are humans also. But thats the life they chose. And they are happy! And that's what life is about, being happy! ^_^
Sorry for all the rant.. whenever i talk about JE and their politics I get a little defensive.

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

I'm not too fond of JE rules, either.
True, I agree there should be rules, just to regulate things, but....I sometimes think that their rules somehow turn the boys into commodities.

I guess it's because Japanese fans are generally possessive, that's why those rules work for them....I feel for the guys, though. And I sometimes feel elated when I hear news of them marrying. Like KimuTaku. And TOKIO's Yamaguchi...and V6's Inocchi. I'm like, YOU GO GUYS!!! BE HAPPY!!!!!!

[silgari.livejournal.com]

That's the word.. commodities! But that's JE world. So sad..

They are very possessive, you're right! It's good when they get married. But I read somewhere, that some Japanese fan committed suicide when they found out about Kimura Takuya getting married. Do you know if that's true? Is so sad and shocking. But, you know, if it's true I'm not that surprise, Japan has is the #1 nations with suicedes.. sad.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2008-07-20-japan-suicides_N.htm

Anyway. I do get happy when they get married! Just like u said. YOU GO GUYS!!! BE HAPPY!!!!!!

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. I think I've known about Japan being the country with the highest suicide rate in the world. Must've something to do with their bushido code and that harakiri custom....but for those kinds of reasons....like KimuTaku getting wed....completely stupid.

I can be an insane fan, but I still would want to see Ohno happy, with a good wife that'll support him and join him in his hobbies and eccentricities, and with kids that will tug at him repeatedly....What a cute sight. ;)

[silgari.livejournal.com]

Yeap.. completely stupid... and sad at the same time.

I would be so happy if they announce Ohno getting married... can u imagine?.... such cute kids! He is going to be a good-gooofy parent! Cute!

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Oh yes I can imagine!!!!
And my sympathies (and envy) to his wife-to-be. Cause she'd have two babies to take care of. Husband and child. lolz
