5 Days of Arashi – My First Song

by Fiona

I’m going to do a five day tribute to Arashi, a little countdown and celebration.🎉 Let’s start with the first song 🎶 that I ever heard of them, We can make it! This was back in 2008 when I was still a novice in the J-Drama world. Yes, I was MatsuJun baited and proud of it. 😂 However, it was not the first of his dramas I have seen, Gokusen was the initial (no Arashi themesong though, shame on them 🤭), and then I watched Bambino where I found out such a band existed.😁 

Though the We can make it! MV is simple, it always brings a smile to my face on the most gloomiest day. May I say, they look absolutely handsome in their military jackets! 😉 This is quite a catchy and inspirational song. It makes you want to get up, dance and bounce around with them.✨ They were so youthful back then, though Nino never ages though.😆

I think the MV has mediocre auto-translated English subtitles so here’s a much better fan version – https://yarukizero.livejournal.com/59445.html

Ballad of the Long Wind by Liu Yuning

by Fiona

Just started watching Chinese drama, A Dream within A Dream (書卷一夢) and liking it a lot. It’s been a while since I have been intrigued by a Chinese production. It is so hilarious, the story so far is not the greatest, but the comedy is top-notch, which makes up for it.

Anyway, I fell in love with the themesong, Ballad of the Long Wind (長風謠), which is sang by the main lead, Liu Yu Ning (摩登兄弟劉宇寧). The tune is very catchy and has an ancient feel with the flute. It matches the story very well. The vocals are amazing and showcases a lot of emotion, which illustrates how good of an artist he is.

I am a little familiar with Liu Yu Ning, first saw him on Our Song Season 6 (我們的歌) and liked his singing, especially the remixes of oldies. I am happy see him in more roles. will definitely be on the lookout for him now.

I also saw these plushies and really want to get them from China. I normally use Superbuy as my proxy, but has stopped for a while due to tariffs. They are so darn adorable, I might need to heft out a few more bucks just to get them now.
