introductory post..

[merkuryo-anime.livejournal.com]

i've been a lurker for a while.. snagging stuff here and there.. i really didn't think i'd be posting.. but someone from one of my comms requested arashi PV's.. i thought it would be a waste if i didn't share to everyone else so here goes..

Arashi - Wish
Arashi - Hadashi no Mirai

they're in .rar format so you're gonna have to use WinRar or something..

by the way:

Name: David
Age: 17
Country: Philippines
Fave Arashi: Ninomiya Kazunari
Other Livejournal Accounts: merkuryo <- personal blog.. merkuryo_music <- music LJ..

i came to know about arashi through a forum.. and then i stumbled upon one of their videos in youtube.com and i finally got hooked..

A fanboy O_O
How cool!
Ya know it was strange for me at first, that I saw boys on Arashi cons (mostly Aiba fans). It is maybe becouse by us it is not accepted (by us) that boys like bands in wich there are boys, except for metal and punkrock music >_<
(Stupid rule. I also like girlbands but cannot say it, becouse people would think I'm weird... But at least I can love ***ARASHI*** freely ^^)

It is good to have you among us!!! ^_____________^

[merkuryo-anime.livejournal.com]

It is maybe becouse by us it is not accepted (by us) that boys like bands in wich there are boys, except for metal and punkrock music >_<

->yeah.. most people think it's uncool for guys to like boybands.. hehe.. but i don't care about what they think.. i have a very eclectic taste in music.. (actually i have a very eclectic taste in EVERYTHING!!) and i like ARASHI and that's the only reason needed..

and maybe the fact that i'm bisexual also played a part..

thanks for being so warm!! :D

[yuki84.livejournal.com]

Electrical taste? hmm.. I wonder what does this mean O_O"

Yeah, "uncool" thing. That's what I meant. I mean why is it diffrent: being a fan of a rockband or a popband... gah >_< *gets upset*

Bisexual? Cool :D Than it is not a problem to "drool" togther with us ^___^

Ne, ne.. mind if I ask some things? I really don't want to be rude or something. just got interested... >_<
Like:
How did you get to know Arashi?
Why is Nino your favourite? (I mean: voice, his behavior, his acting in films, his looks etc)
Do you have favourite thing of arashi? (like movie, song, PV, concert, radio or variety show?)
Have you ever seen them live?

(erm.... sorry for asking so much >_<
Don't answer if it makes you feel bad or something, I just got so curious... >_<)

[merkuryo-anime.livejournal.com]

uhmm.. hehe.. eclectic means something like.. "getting from various sources"

i first heard of arashi in a jdorama forum while searching for nagayama takashi.. *long story* haha.. then i stumbled upon one of their videos in youtube.com and i got hooked..

i like nino primarily because of his looks.. (i still haven't gotten around to watching any of his dramas due to time constraints..) and i also like his dorkiness..

my favorite PV (i've only watched a few yet) would have to be either Wish (so cute) or Hadashi no Mirai (so funny)..

i haven't seen them live.. and i probably never will.. :(

and i'm gonna add you to my flist too!! :D

[yuki84.livejournal.com]

Thank you for answering these questions ^____^

Ah, eclectical, not electrical... LOL. I read it wrong...eheheheh ^^" *feels stupid*

His looks huh. Hmmm Have you seen this on You Tube:
http://www.youtube.com/w/Arashi---nino-solo?v=IHP7XEvJdkw&search=nino%20ohno
He looks so cool in it O_O"
I was watching with my mouth hanging open as I saw sweat dripped off from his hair and the way his lips twiched in the end... omg... *drools*
(the performance looks like if it is a kinda big playback-stuff, but i love the number anyway)

Nino doramas.. Hmm.. maybe I can help in deciding the order in wich maybe you will watch them.
I've seen a movie from him (ao no honou)
screencaps I have: http://a-ra-shi.freeblog.hu/archives/2005_Dec_a-ra-shi.htm#1106826
the torrent from here:

screencaps:
http://a-ra-shi.freeblog.hu/archives/2006_Jan_a-ra-shi.htm#1200350
torrent from D-Addicts (If in need of seeding: Ask me to reseed. My name is Furui there (with a nice Nino avatar XD))

Hmm.. if you want to watch PVs there is a batch of 18 PVs @ JPOPSUKI...

(Thnx for adding ^______________^ I added you too)

[merkuryo-anime.livejournal.com]

wow!! thanks!! :D

[merkuryo-anime.livejournal.com]

oh.. i can't find ao no honoo in asiandvdclub.org (either that or the search function doesn't want to work for me..)

and all eps of yasashii jikan is raw right?? my japanese vocabulary is VERY limited.. :(

[yuki84.livejournal.com]

Hmm.... I can give you the subs anytime to Yasashii Jikan ^^ (english subs)
Ao no Honou didn't work? Hmm.. I think you must register before you could download torrents, than click on the link I gave, and you'll see the torrent file in the DOWNLOAD row (the first row, above the picture!)

(tell me if the problem didn't get solved!)

[merkuryo-anime.livejournal.com]

i've found Ao no Honoo.. apparently my eyes aren't as trustworthy when i'm awake way past my bedtime..

i think i should finish downloading Ao no Honoo first before i start with yasashii jikan.. thanks again!! :D

[yuki84.livejournal.com]

^___^ I hope you'll like it.. it was my first Nino-related thing on TV.. after that Yasashii Jikan, that Pikanchi 1,2 (as Takumaaaaaaa *drools*) and so on....
Oh, and be aware, that They don't alow any incoming TCP ports at AsianDVDclub! (I set mine to 1000)
I think I'll go now and seed some Ao no Honou ^^

[ayumiii-chan.livejournal.com]

woow o_O a fanboy. cool!! it's very cool. I've never tought, that i'll be able to meet with an Arashi fanboy. But it's good :) But i think if you like something, then it's not important you're a boy or a girl, just like that thing and that's all :)

[merkuryo-anime.livejournal.com]

exactly!! :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/___teckie/]

a fanboy... wow... just. wow....
*is speechless*
that's pretty rare. but yay! more arashi fans! ^_^

[merkuryo-anime.livejournal.com]

:D hehe.. i never thought i'd receive attention because of that.. haha.. :D
