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.

Date: 2008-08-18 08:07 am (UTC)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~.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-18 08:14 am (UTC)Me, too! I haven't seen the Aiba CM before! Funny how they still painted him to be the 'good son'. :)
.....i'm just glad he wore jeans underneath. hehehe.....that way I can pretend it was just an overly-long shirt. :)
Massu's idea!?! Aha! Creativity to couple that cute grin!!! .......and...and gonna check the encore now....*shameful*

Date: 2008-08-18 08:42 am (UTC)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:

Date: 2008-08-18 08:54 am (UTC)I usually make it a point to add fellow STORMY teamsters to my flist, but I vaguely recall checking out websites on Aibakaland and one of them didn't have an LJ listed.....was that you? Anyways, THANK YOU FOR ADDING ME! and I hope you don't mind me adding you back. :)
Earlier there were like....4 seeders....lolz. Now I'm seeing 24 of 59 connected....I'm hoping it'll be fast. :)
You ended the comment perfect. With Ohno's pants. Aherm!

Date: 2008-08-18 09:05 am (UTC)Yes that was my motivation indeed xDDDDD You know my weakness too well xD
*currently is brain-dead at minute 11*
no subject
Date: 2008-08-18 09:14 am (UTC)it takes one (weak fangirl) to know one. :) *checks out Ohno in white trousers*
You're brain-dead at minute 11? Then I fear what happens when you get to the part where Sho slips on it and shakes. :)
no subject
Date: 2008-08-18 09:42 am (UTC)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...

Date: 2008-08-18 10:28 am (UTC)I'm just relieved he wore jeans underneath. Makes it easier for me to pretend it was just an oversized long shirt. lolz.
I guess that is the factor....NEWS lacks that rapport, that bond that Arashi shares. And their willingness to be made fun of...I don't see that in the NEWS dynamics. :) Gather five guys with different personalities but with the wonkiest of humor and they mesh.
Well, NEWS is trying, though...and I gotta commend KoyaShige for obviously putting in a lot of effort in their MCs. (cuz Pi's no help at all.)
no subject
Date: 2008-08-18 11:38 am (UTC)although they talked and put a lot of effort, but still not as funny as arashi cause arashi is the best and nothing compared to them.
that 2 woman, are they the host as well or the guest? sorry, i'm new for music lovers...they got a lot of shot when arashi sang...

Date: 2008-08-18 12:36 pm (UTC)thanks for the enlightenment.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-18 12:36 pm (UTC)I think the main factor was their closeness. You can see how comfortable Arashi is with each other, something NEWS isn't.
And yes, Arashi is the best. From the MC alone, Sho and Nino totally owned it....and there's only the two of them too. hheheeh.
The older woman, I think she's the host, because I see her hosting other shows as well, like Merengue no Kimochi....as for Nakama Yukie, the pretty one, she's a famous actress in Japan, from the Gokusen series. :) And she's also one of the personalities of this years 24hr TV, alongside main personalities Arashi. :)

Date: 2008-08-18 12:42 pm (UTC)I just got to the point where I couldn't take the curiosity any longer and asked someone on LJ. :)
no subject
Date: 2008-08-18 01:34 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2008-08-18 01:48 pm (UTC)I'm downloading a 1.2GB file via torrent (my first ever) and it says I have 33 minutes left...the speed fluctuated along with the number of seeders....Ah, I love learning. lolz.
These guys can make absolutely anything work with crack. :)
Lucky audience. They got so close! I kinda marveled how there weren't any groping that happened. haha!
no subject
Date: 2008-08-18 01:52 pm (UTC)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 :)
no subject
Date: 2008-08-18 02:00 pm (UTC)Someone told me to start with the original BitTorrent client first, before trying the others....so I did. (I can be obedient that way....:) or gullible-coz-of-ignorance)
I'm just not used to it, I guess, what with its dependence to seeders. I'm kinda used to MU's amazing speeds for me. :)
So I guess that means I'll download those with higher seeds ratio. Hah. I love learning new stuff. XDD
And I guess I was such a fool for downloading something as huge as 1.2GB with only 5 initial seeders. Haha! Now there're 18....and I've only 30 mins left. yay.
Thanks for the infos!!! XDD

He's ohsocute. Lolz.

Date: 2008-08-18 02:20 pm (UTC)I was surprised when Jun went to the audience and started high-fiving them. O_o Haha! You noticed that too? I was like, "Whoa, good self-control there girls." XD
