No.1 for Singles, Albums, and DVDs!! Yatta! I hope they will be able to sustain it until the end of the year. I can still contribute to the sales since I haven't bought the regular editions yet, but i need money! haha i've become so poor since i started buying arashi stuff. please bring back the time when i was still a happy fan who is already content when seeing their programs and downloading their songs and getting happy when they get good sales. T_T back then i only invest on time in the computer and internet connection, but now i just have to get an LE!

i wonder now how i can celebrate this milestone.. with a cake maybe? hmm.

congrats, arashi! XD

so it seems like i'm a sucker for crying ikemen lately. i particularly like DBSK's Proud concert perf  nowadays, and I can't help but think that a crying mickey is very cute. >.< of course in that clip xiah and u-know were also cute (because they also cried), and i just can't help but watch the video over and over again. actually, seeing that video again got me downloading dbsk songs, and i've been alternating betwen my arashi and dbsk playlists for several days now.

however, it was actually max who got me crying! T_T i watched a youtube video that someone in the dbsk comm recommended. it was an answer to some japanese fans who reacted strongly against hero's "thank you cassiopeia" speech in the dome concert (cassiopeia is the korean DBSK fans club), and the video showed how max was crying so hard as yunho was giving a speech in a korean music program. it was their 'come back performance', since it's been almost 2 years since they last performed in korea, and dbsk actually worried that the korean fans have already forgotten about them. max just can't help himself and was crying hard behind yunho as yunho was thanking the fans. and i was crying as i watch max cry. T_T aww so cute T_T

and then as i continued browsing through my flist, i saw some photos of yabu crying in their latest concert. yabu's my favorite junior of all time, so he's got a special place in my heart. <3 yabu looked like a child as he wipes his tears, it makes my heart ache. then there was also a picture of some of the other HSJ also crying. i actually wasn't able to distinguish most of them because they had their hands on their faces wiping their tears. T_T

and of course, ohno's moment at the last kokuritsu. ridaa's faltering voice... it's so rare seeing ohno with such a strong emotion, my heart just went out to him at that moment. why am i so emotional lately??

lastly, this is out of the topic but Happy 15th Anniversary Tokio!

you vowed to "create a storm throughout the world" last september 15, 1999.

now, 10 years later, i bet you all can't imagine how you'd actually been able to do just that. i am amazed at how spread out your fans are all over the world. ukraine, south africa, libya, peru, russia, name the country, there's probably a fan or two there.

tell me, how did you go from this...


to this?


Please continue doing your best! I will be your 6th man for as long as i can! ^_^

this is taken from kikinini's vox over here. all credit goes to her.

I like Lavenders.
Because I have strong image of  good smell of bath oils. (Laugh)
I also like Sunflowers. Because you get the seeds from them, right?
I like the flowers with "plus something extra" that is good for seeing and enjoying .
As I recall, I recevied big flowers from other members for my exhibition,
and it made me happy and I felt their "Love"!! (Laugh)
If I present flowers to the girl...
How about mixing only one genuine flower in the fake bouquet?
Saying "Here you go" and gave to her.
when she would say, "This is not real!"
I'd say "There is only one real flower in it. "
and that has a message of "You are the only one"....(shy smile)


ohno's very practical, preferring flowers with "plus something extra". XD

but the method of giving the flower! *faints* haha it is very original and very romantic! maybe it is a little corny when you look at it, but the creativity! and the words to go with the flowers! haha i wan't this to happen to me! *faints again, this time with embarassment*

and do you know how i would like to receive my marriage proposal?
here )</div>



haha, arashi's hard to beat XD

it's been all over lj - hikaru graduated from horikoshi high school already, along with other celebrities like fukuda saki (yatterman #2). omedetou, hikaru :)

however, since it was only recently that i learned that taiyou is actually also studying in horikoshi (where he is also the class president), whenever i hear horikoshi i think of taiyou. and when i learned about this graduation, i immediately thought that taiyou is graduating already. sorry hikaru, i know that it's you who was being featured in all those news clips, but i can't help but look in the background and see if i can spot the tall figure of taiyou. although come to think of it, maybe at a time like this taiyou would rather not be noticed and be caught on camera, but rather stay as the normal student that he decided to become. i just can't help but feel a little sad for taiyou, who was also on the same graduation ceremony, who would have received the same amount of attention as hikaru is getting if he is still in JE, who may be missing the limelight after more than a year of being an ordinary teenager.

would taiyou continue his studies and go to a university? i hope so. it's really promising that he is the class president, shows he has leadership abilities. i say this again, like i said more than a year ago when i learned that taiyou was no longer in JE, that i hope taiyou is happy wherever he is and whatever he is doing.

i don't know why i am so affected when it comes to taiyou, or to yayayah for that matter. no matter how much i like chinen, i can't help but blame hsj for what happened to yayayah. i know it's irrational, and that who gets to debut is not within the juniors decision. but when hsj happened, yayayah ceased. and hikaru and yabu are not even hsj's front men. they were getting more attention when they were still in yayayah.

now this post started with congratulations and ended with rants. sorry for spamming, but i just have to let this out.

when i tried opening my laptop this afternoon, the power button did not work. curiously, when i tried pressing the instant fun plus button that is nearest the power button, the laptop started booting up but i still can't see anything on the screen. i immediately went on the web to find any solution and after about two hours i have tried every suggestion already, from taking out the battery to keeping the laptop upside down for 45 seconds while pressing the power button. however, none of this worked. by that time i was starting to panic already because my life as a student depends on the files in my laptop (yes, i haven't backed up my files yet. will do it soon). at this point i called the service center, something that i have been putting off because i don't want them to tell me that i have to surrender my laptop with them for further examination. and because i'm an 'ask google first' person. :P anyways, when i explained the problem, the technician just asked if i have an x80le model, and when i said yes he gave me this very simple solution:

Open the laptop and on the left side look at the part that connects the LCD display and the keyboard part. On the left side of this connector, there should be a small hole. Normally there is something poking out from this small hole. If there is none, then try pushing inside with a small pointed object, and the poking thing should bounce right back up.

there. at first i was incredulous at his simple solution, but i tried it and it worked. i guess it's a common problem among the x80le model, but somehow i did not see this solution on the web. im just glad i had it fixed already, and the only downside of this whole fiasco is that we lost around 2 hours of watching arashi! XD

haha this is fun.. saw this on [info]tenjostyle 's  and decided to try it.

Here's my New Year Resolution:
In 2009, youkojin resolves to...
Lose ten news by March.
Keep my je clean.
Start an arashi fund.
Learn to play the ya-ya-yah.
Spend more time with my aimaniohsas.
Overcome my secret fear of stellarsky08s.
Get your own New Year's Resolutions:

so i should lose ten news by march? there are only 6 of them! (and they were only 9 when they debuted).. therefore, this is an impossible resolution! XD

and i should keep my JE clean, hoho and how do i do that?

start an arashi fund! oh yeah! this one i really should do, if i want to keep supporting them by buying their releases.

learn to play the ya-ya-yah, haha, is this like janken? >.<

spend more this with aimaniohsa! this one is a must also! we need to fangirl when i get back! ^_^ i was able to download 200Gb worth of arashi videos here, so get ready when i return home haha XD

and [info]stellarsky08 , haha sorry for this, so random. but we're from the same country so maybe when i get back, i should overcome my fear of you? haha this is so random.


and this one might be a little late but it's still fun nonetheless.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, youkojin sent to me...
Twelve broken_seraphims drumming
Eleven youkojins piping
Ten aimaniohsas a-leaping
Nine stellarsky08s dancing
Eight redchemistrys a-milking
Seven rui_taishous a-swimming
Six rachie241282s a-laying
Five na-a-a-ana_komatsu7s
Four drea_cs
Three leigh1381s
Two news
...and an arashi in a funkadelicsinc.
Get your own Twelve Days:

haha. im glad arashi's on the first day. and they're supposed to be in [info]funkadelicsinc . maybe i should head over her journal and see if there's an update. ...  hmm she just had a heart attack because of sho's +act. haha she's not the only one, i swear i'm dying from extreme nosebleeding XD

I was doing my routine check of oricon and i saw that today, Beautiful Days is at No.7, going back up the chart until the new singles for the week are released. This past few days I don't normally look at the next 20 songs in the chart because I don't see the point since truth and one love has long been gone from the daily top30. But today I looked, and this is what i saw:



haha. XD I know this doesn't mean much in terms of sales, it's most probably less than a thousand units.. but the fact is people are suddenly buying them again. what for, as christmas gifts? XD truth's arrow symbol is even downwards, indicating that for the past day at least, it's rank is even higher than 25. i wonder how long have they been back in the chart, haha. i understand one love's sudden rise in popularity again because of the hydf dvd release, but how about truth? maybe people just want to have a copy of this year's number 1 single, ne? ^_^

just echoing what arashi.vox said. ^_^

This calls for a celebration! Arashi Fans! Let's all sing Arashi~ Arashi~ For Dream~ [well, no, let's not do that. but if you really want to sing, then sing truth and one love and beautiful days ^_^. I can't help but think that we should have made more effort on Step and Go, then they would equal Hikaru Genji in the record for 4 singles in the top 10 ^_^. demo, top12 for Step and Go is not really bad ne~]

"The dream of getting to the top" is a dream already realized! Yay! (^_^)v

sorry for spamming. indulge me, i'm happy. XD

How will it be in five more years? Will I be enjoying every day?
Will I be able to trust myself and others more than now?
The future five years from now is waiting there for me with a smile
If I can, I want to send all the wishes written in this letter

The road I'll build from now on, the long road I'll send to everyone
The road I'm running on alone now, where I'll run with the top runners by my side
Who will be beside me then? I know it'll be the five of us
As I look around even now, you're there, everyone is there

Who will be beside me then? I know it'll be the five of us
As I look around, you're there - that's the wish I'll spell out here

In five more years... they are now entering the 5th year of that 5 years, and they seem to be enjoying everyday, ne? Not just Jun, but all of Arashi.

The road I'm running on alone now, where I'll run with the top runners by my side... I can't help but think that even then Jun was already aware that he's one of the most famous in Arashi. Can he be talking about the road to greatness? If he is, then he made a correct prediction - Who will be beside me then? I know it'll be the five of us. Can he be more accurate? ^_^ All of Arashi are enjoying their own greatness now, deshou? They have excelled in their own ways, and yet they are still one of the best and well-rooted groups in JE. Even sempais get scared of them [remembr Nakai in 5LDK? ^_^]

As I look around, you're there - that's the wish I'll spell out here... Not only the four other members are there, Jun. Most importantly, Arashi's 6th member is also here. And as long as Arashi wishes to be together, then we will also be there with you. Gambatte~

The Johnny's Ranker is quite fun [although quite long, too] and it can be found here.

It's easy. You'll be presented with pictures of two JE artists and you'll just have to choose which one you like better. You can also choose a tie if you like them both.

My results are not really surprising. What's surprising for me is that it is very accurate. I remember that I took this quiz some time back and back then I got a very weird result. However, I am happy with my results [except that chinen is way below there, when he could have been in my top ten.] Anyway, here are my results:

1. Sakurai Sho, Ohno Satoshi, Ninomiya Kazunari, Matsumoto Jun, Aiba Masaki <--- told you there is really no surprise here ^_^
6. Akanishi JIn, Koyama Keichiro <-- i'm beginning to think that this test is a hoax. How can it be so accurate?
8. Yamashita Tomohisa
9. Katori Shingo
10. Nakai Masahiro

i just have to find a really ugly rumor today. i actually went through several moods while i'm uncovering everything that i can from what others have already posted. at first i laughed at it, saying it's probably like that of sho's "scandal" a few months back.. then i saw the photos and i must admit i was shocked O_O, but that is basically because i can't see how it would be possible for ridaa to do that during the fast few months when his schedule has been busier than everyone else's.. then i found out the photos might be from 3 years back, in 2005, then i became angry.. the length at which people would go to pull other people down.. and these scandals are coming out obviously because ohno has been very popular this year.

when this kinds of things happen to artists here in my country, i do not really care, saying they're stupid enough to get themselves photographed in the first place.. seeing it happen to arashi somewhat changed my perspective, 'cause now i see several other factors affected with these scandals - the fans, the company, and of course the artists themselves and their families. imagine how embarrassed ohno must be seeing his pictures like that.. i hope arashi are close enough to understand each other in these situations (i'm thinking of what jun will say to ohno when they get to talk about this XD)..

i just can't believe that something like this will happen to ohno (and to think that sho actually party harder than anyone else in arashi XD) and at this time no less (when i'm sure all ohno can think about is fishing because he can't get enough time off from filming maou).. i hope no more damages will come from this, and that everything will reach a finality soon so everyone can go back to their normal lives (because no matter how people say they are not worried and to just laugh it off, i'm sure somehow they are still worried of what might happen in the future)..

of course i support ohno and arashi, i just have to make that plain. something like this will not make me think of them any less.. and so to show my support of ohno (and how i abhor the tabloid report), i changed my wallpaper to this (credits to elenniel at lj):

is the 2008-2009 Calendar! Woot! thanks to one of my wonderful rain-catcher friends who gave me this, mecha mecha ureshii! \\^_^//

DSC_4143

i received the calendar late in the afternoon, after much drama worthy of several Oscars ^_^ friends, i am really grateful, and i don't think i can stress this enough.

DSC_4145

the calendar is so far the best gift that i have received this this past few days. i took a picture of it lying in my workplace in school. look how disorganized my things are, and the calendar is a refreshing sight. ^_^ in front of the cpu you can see the fruits of almost a year's worth of rain-catching, rain files burned into DVDs. whenever things get too frustrating or stressful with my thesis, i just click on the Show Desktop button and voila! arashi wallpaper! ^_^

DSC_4144

this room, and in particular this workplace, is very important to me and my arashi fangirling, since i got almost all of my downloads from this room.. as you can see from the evidence, haha, i am currently downloading AnoS episodes from techny-teddy, yay! ^_^

it's this ---> Japanese ISPs To Ban File Sharers

i don't really know how this can be implemented, but i can't help but ask what would become of the international fans now? i know that the majority of the raw files that we get are from Japanese fangirls who upload it for us, so what will happen if they get detected and banned?

people who commented on the article said it cannot possibly be properly implemented, and somehow i hope that's true O_O
