(Hi, new friend! <3)

Hello, new friend!

Leader has a new drama! He's been quite in demand, huh?

YAY! :DDDDDDD

:DDDDDD

I'm really anxious to see what kind of drama it is XD

I just know it's going to be epic ♥ 8Dv

...And I haven't started watching Uta no Oniisan yet! It's just here, sleeping in my HD.

..And I've just learned that I've missed some new Arashi videos and a Sho drama and heaven knows what else! *sigh*

no arashi updates from me, i'm afraid.

but hi ♥

YAY!!!

Hi back! ;)

I'm so glad to see you and baby is beautiful!!! So gorgeous ... don't tell hubby but she makes me feel all broody again! Hee! I wanna go meet her and snuggle her and give new mommy a break!

Hope you get some rest dear ... I sooo remember how it was! Take care my dearest dearest friend!

hmm . . . did you get to see the kokuritsu concert? That was pretty splendiferous ^_^ I'm not even sure where to start . . .

*__*

What are your favorite things to follow? I can try to sum up my favs there ^_^

HIIIIIIIIIIIIII! ♥ ♥ ♥

Kokuritsu Concert? O_o No, I didn't get to see that.

I'm pretty sure I've missed a lot; been out of the Arashi loop since February.

Favorite things to follow? Um, I haven't started my research yet so:
a. I don't know if they have any singles after Beautiful Days. Are there any? Videos?
b. Any new shows? Movies? Concerts?
c. Individual member activities, particularly Ohno's?
d. Any interesting fics? :DDDD

*flails*

OK, so this will be incomplete, and really just a start, because I'm on the road right now, and my parents' computer and internet are . . . well, it's not dial-up, but it kind of feels like it ^^"

But! To start:

Kokuritsu concert:

I have links to the mp3a, but also a link to the post where you can download the concert video. Also, it is a picspam of the concert. It was a great concert, highly recommended. ^_^

There was Ohno's Uta no Oniisan, in terms of dramas and I hear rumors of an upcoming drama. Nino is currently in a play of Strangers on a Train and they're actually including the kiss, so people are pretty excited about that.

In terms of singles, there have been a couple since Beautiful Days:
Believe/kumori nochi kaisei--theme songs from Sho's Yatterman movie and Ohno's Uta no Oniisan
(both have videos)

Crazy Moon-Kimi wa Muteki and Ashita no kioku
Another dual A side--Crazy moon is a song from a commercial, and I like it lots--video, and Ashita no Kioku was the closign song for Sho's Quiz Show Golden. The video is very over=-exposed and white and blue, but I kind of like it--especially since there's a piece of birthday pie with a candle in it and I love it ^_^

Everything/Season is the new one, and there's a 10th anniversary album next month with all the singles (30), and one new son, I think written by the members Also, 10 songs picked by the members. It's called All the Best. 2 discs.

I will wander through the fic after tomorrow, when I get to NJ and better internets ^_^; I haven't been memming much, but have been keeping track of things. As I recall you tend to like darker things and the prons, right? ^_~ Preferences? I'll try to foreground your favorite stuff ^_^

The really important thing here honestly would be the concert--and the behind the scenes video from the concert has some awesome stuff. It may have induced me to write my very first (and likely last) fic ^^" Because it was that awesome and a friend pulled out the birthday card.

HnA has had a couple of shakeups and it's interesting, though my personal inner jury is still out a bit on it. VSA has added new and really fun games and a couple of episodes were definitely worth watching. When I get to NJ, I'll send you links to the really great ones. AnS has been pretty awesome, too.

Sho needs to eat; Ohno's fried look is finally toning down (you wouldn't believe the amount of crap he's been taking on shows for how dark he'd gotten *__*), Jun looks really happy and as if he's been eating, Aiba's hair is kind of adorable lately, and Nino . . . has been a little lovable shit as usual . . .

When I get a bit more settled in NJ, I'll try to be more specific. We start the drive from IL in the morning, so we won't get there until after midnight:P wheeee!

And I'll have fun tracking down fics ^_^
