Why am I not al…

Why am I not allowed to be happy?

You worry about people who make your life impossible…Why?

The curse of having an annoying conscience.

I want to be with that person.

Must it be so difficult?

Simply…to be with them…

To be with someone who makes every day seem like the best day in your life.

I found him.

He found me.

Why can we not be together?

Meikyuu Love Song

All recent Arashi songs sound exactly the same…………………………………….

Aiba

Aiba is so incredibly cute and sexy. I could go back into fandom just because of him. God he is cute and so incredibly adorable. He really makes my heart melt every time I see him. I wish I could meet someone like him in real life lol Though I guess he’s just unique :)

Johnny’s Web

The other day I received an e-mail from Johnny’s International saying Jweb is available through an app for Android or Iphone!!!! Now, that is one coooooooooooooool thing. That means foreign fans can now actually read Jweb too and it’s not just limited to Japanese phones any more. Wow Johnny, wow! Though I guess Johnny has hard competition going on now, seeing as though Korea is so “in” right now, and Korean bands have so much online stuff for free. Well, I hope Johnny’s don’t fall too behind. They very much represent modern Japan somehow XD It would be a shame if that was replaced during the Korea craze. Even if, as all crazes, it does disappear after a while.

133 countries

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW. Arashi, your video promoting Japan tourism was shown in New York square!!! How amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually almost cried watching that video. It was so sad, somehow, how Japan has always been so popular and now they were kind of almost begging for tourism…But Arashi did a great job. I especially loved Aiba’s part in Okinawa. It was so short though!!! T_T But anyway, amazing Arashi!!! You’ve really worked so hard ^^

AU second batch

I like these ones even more!!!! They’re all so funny!! I love them talking about Skype and Facebook, for some reason it seemed so cool xDDD Imagine if they had Facebook, kya! xD

Ok so I’m “not in the fandom anymore” but…

…I still get e-mails from Johnny’s International and OMG I’VE JUST REALISED I CAN WATCH GANTZ IN THE CINEMA IN KOOOOOREEEEAAAAAAAAA. Woooooooooooooooot!! It’s funny how you try and try and try for things like these and they never come, but then when you’re not even trying they come to you so easily xD Anyway, KYA! Now, to convince my boyfriend…XD

世界で一番頑張ってる君に

相葉ちゃんいつも頑張ってるね・・・

一生懸命・・・

相葉ちゃん、大丈夫かな？

早く治って欲しいT_______________________T

I can’t think of a title

Ok so the 30 day challenge didn’t go very well did it? I only lasted 3 days…That must be a new record or something? XD
Anyway, I miss Arashi. You know, I only miss them when I see any video with them, and since a long time ago (while I was still in the fandom) I subscribed to almost 99% of all Arashi-related YouTube accounts, I keep getting their videos whenever I open YouTube (which is like everyday). So I’d say even though I’m not in the fandom any more I’m definitely still up-to-date with their CMs and a few of the things they’re doing since it seems people still enjoy uploading the WS (Thank you, by the way!!).
So, I recently watched their newest Android AU CMs! So cool!! I recently got an Android too, though it’s not as cool as the ones they’re advertising! Mine is a HTC. It’s pretty good, though I don’t like the design of it that much. As in the exterior design, because the interface is quite cute and user-friendly. Anyway, I must not stray! I wanted to say that I love the CMs!!!

My favourites are the one where Leader is dressed as an American football player and he carries Jun across the room (how can I not love that one? I’m still a Juntoshi fangirl at heart after all XD), the one where Aiba’s explaining about the decoration mail and Sho and Nino are talking about what they’ll have for lunch afterwards, and the one where they all show the phones but Leader keeps brining up a hot dog and a sandwich instead; hilarious!!

I also watched the WS about their school event, the “Arashi no waku waku gakkou” thing. Really reminded me of the live event they had for D no Arashi! ^^ I’m happy they did something like that again, even though it wasn’t really like A no Arashi but still. Anyway, looking at Arashi after a while I think the only one that still truly hasn’t changed is Aiba-chan. He is still the baka and unaware cuticle boy he used to be. I think Nino hasn’t changed that much either, he’s still got that ‘I’m in the entertainment industry but I’m only doing this because they made me and I hate whoever made me do this silly thing’ face which he always had during some of the Mago Mago Arashi eps xDDDD Soooo Nino ^^ Then I think Jun is still the same at heart. Serious but baka deep down, especially when lead on by Aiba lol ^^ However, I do think Sho-chan is trying too hard. And Oh-chan seems like a bit too silly at times really…Like he’s also trying too hard to be funny, and he looks like a bit of a clown. I don’t know…Maybe it’s just me. That’s what I was saying a few months ago about how they make Arashi seems funny now and it feels so forced. It wasn’t like that on G no Arashi or even Shukudai-kun and I think that’s why it was so funny even though they were doing stupid things. Now it seems so forced it just feels like they’re make a fool out of themselves…Anyway, they are still themselves at heart, their personality shines through and always will.
I really liked the messages to Leader they had, especially Aiba’s and Nino’s. Jun’s was so randomly short lol, and Sho’s was a bit random too. Aiba’s was so cute, “You’re the only one who wears the T-shirts I bring the members” xDDDD Adorableeeeee!! And Nino’s was so Ohmiya, I really loved it, “When it’s just the two of us there is absolutely nothing to talk about. But I realised after I got home and thought about it, that it’s because we’ve already talked about everything possible” KYAAAAA!!! ^___^

大野さんへ

大野さんとは、Jｒ時代を含め15年の付き合いです。
嵐では12年たちましたが、
私がご飯に誘っても、あなたは一度も首を縦に振りませんね。
だけど、こないだ、Jと3人でご飯を食べる機会があって
仕事のこと、現状のこと、将来のことたくさん話しました。
本当に楽しかったです。
次の日、またあなたとご飯を食べに行きましたね。
二日連続ご飯を食べに行くことは生まれて初めてです。

でもいざ、二人になってみると話すことが全く何もなかったですね。
でも私考えたんです。家に帰って。
ってことは、もうあなたとは、すべて話せてたんだなと。
思えば、移動中や仕事場でいつも話をしていて、
もう話すことはすべて話せていたんだなと思いました

すべてを話せる人というのは非常に貴重な存在だと思います
こういう関係でいられることは、すごく幸せなことだなと思います

またあなたとご飯に行くのは、12年後になると思うけど、
その時もひとこともしゃべらないでいてください。
さとぴっ　、ありがとう。

I love how when it’s about Arashi I can write really long posts. Arashi really helped me 5 years ago, when I was in a very sad time in my life and needed to laugh and be happy. I hope Arashi is still causing that effect on people and not just making nice music and selling CDs and boosting sales products. I wonder what it’s like for fangirls nowadays? I would like to know. I fear Arashi is going to have to help me again.

Wake up Call

Kyaaaaaaaaaa, so cute!!!! I want this as my alarm clock!!!

and long version XD

There used to be an Arashi version too on Youtube, but I think they’ve deleted it (as with everything else :( )

Happy birthday Nino!!!

Happy Birthday Nino-chan

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nyan!

OMG what is thisssssssss, it’s like the cutest thing ever!!! I think it’s the best Aiba-chan fanvid I’ve ever seen!! The lyrics go so perfectly well with Aiba-chan!!! NYAAAAA~~~~~

Random

First of all, what is up with Arashi’s new hair in that new PV they have?? That “Mada minu sekai he” PV?? (btw what is that? I mean, they haven’t got a single so is it some PV inside the DVD or inside the new album or something?? *feels lost* But really lol, I was talking to Ruri about this yesterday too. Their hairrrrrrr, what happened to Oh-chan??? XDDD First time I see him with such a weird hairstyle in 5 years lol. Reminds me of the hairstyle he had in Kimi no tame ni boku ga iru…and the PV kind of reminds me of their older PV’s too. I mean woah, multicolour!!! And also somehow bad quality (purposely obviously). Cool!! haha. Though I’m not really fond of that electronic feel in songs at all, but ah well, it’s what’s in fashion nowadays I guess?
Also, their new CM with JAL made me laugh. My reaction was:
Aaaaah, Arashi look much older now XD
Awwwww cuuuute outfits!!
Awesome shoe-in-water effect!!
Aibaaaaaa, cute!!
Jun’s hairrrr, awesome!!!
*they run and jump off the building*
LOLOLOLOL Sho-chan…ok this is obviously filmed with a wire.
I mean, how can anyone possibly jump off a building and fly UPWARDS? XDDDD (Yattaman?! lol) So funny really, and you can kind of see the wire effect on their trousers (as well as several other things mwuahahaha XD *stoned by the conservative fangirls*)
And wow, there’s a lot of foreigners writing their songs now!

Kim hyun Joong – Please

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, I absolutely love this new song by KHJ!!!!!!!! And the video is great too!!! And his hair is great too!!!!! KYAAAAAA!!!! (wow I haven’t fangirled for ages!! XDDD)
I found this translation of the song, it’s by gobblepop (found it on twitter ^^ Thank you!!)

Hey Yeah
술에 취해서 I cried
I was intoxicated so I cried
너의 집 앞에서 너를 기다려
I waited for you in front of your house
불이 꺼진 집으로 들어가는
With the light off, I entered the house
그와 너를 보고 숨이 막혔어
I saw you and him and I choked on my breath
눈을 맞추고 입을 맞추고
Eyes were fixed and you kissed
그를 안고 잠이 들
You embraced him and fell asleep
네가 너무 미워서
I really hate you
입술 깨물고 눈물 삼키고
I bite my lips and swallow my tears
정신 나간 사람처럼 서 있어
I stood there like a crazy person

난 오직 너라고
To me, it’s still only you
영원히 너라고
Forever, it’s you
터져버린 눈물에 주저앉아 불러
With bursting tears as I collapse, I call out,
널 불러
I call out for you

I just don’t get it, get it,
Why don’t you get it, get it,
제발 너 그 사람 보며 웃지 마
Please, if you look at him, don’t smile
제발 너 그 사람 입 맞추지 마
Please don’t kiss him
Cuz you’re the cheater, a liar,
and a killer

눈을 감으면 Baby
When I close my eyes, Baby
아직도 네가 곁에 있는 것 같아
I think I’m still at your side
네 숨결이 네 사랑이 내 안에서
Your breath, your love are inside me
도망가지 못하게 붙잡고 있을래
I tightly hold you so you can’t escape
비가 내려서 모두 씻겨서 이별한
Because it rains, the separation is all washed away
그 기억들을 사라지게 하고 싶어
I want those memories to disappear
어둠 속으로 더 먼 곳으로
Into the darkness, into a further place,
내 아픈 눈물들을 데려가 줘
Please take away my painful tears

난 오직 너라고
To me, it’s still only you
영원히 너라고
Forever, it’s you
터져버린 눈물에
With bursting tears,
주저앉아 불러
As I collapse, I call out,
널 불러
I call out for you

I just don’t get it, get it,
Why don’t you get it, get it,
제발 너 그 사람 보며 웃지 마
Please, if you look at him, don’t smile
제발 너 그 사람 입 맞추지 마
Please don’t kiss him
Cuz you’re the cheater, a liar,
and a killer

퍼지는 담배 연기 사이로
Between the spreading tobacco smoke
너를 흩어지게 해도
You disperse
하얗게 네가 더욱 깊게 새겨져
You become more deeply etched in white
너를 못 잊어
I can’t forget you

Oh Girl

다시 내게로 와
Come back to me
미칠 듯 소리쳐 너만을 사랑해
Shouting like crazy, I love only you
너를 보낸 잘못에
It was wrong to let go of you
후회하며 빌어
Regretfully, I beg
난 빌어
I beg

I just don’t get it, get it,
Why can’t you get it, get it,
제발 너 그 사람 품에 안지 마
Please, don’t embrace in his arms
제발 너 그 사람 사랑하지 마
Please don’t love him
Cuz you’re the cheater, a liar,
and a killer

Oh Baby, I need you
You took my love
and killed it girl
You took my love
You took my love
and killed it girl
You took my love
and killed it girl
이러지마
Don’t do it this way

You took my love
and killed it girl
Why my heart cries
Oh Girl, (It’s) like you killed me
You took my love
and killed it girl
Baby you killed it

제발 날 떠나가지 마
Please don’t leave me

Shiawase

I really like the lyrics to this song. So simple but very cute ^^ Thought I’d translate them.
I think it’s also good to mention that in Japanese the word “happiness” doesn’t just mean “to be happy”, but also a sense of “being lucky”, “having good fortune” or “being blessed”.
