Arashi – Nine Years of Greatness

by Fiona

I’m back. Finally moved all of my files to HostMonster and domain has propagated. Took me a good two days to transfer the darn database; nothing to do with the size of the backup, just MySQL at its worse. Thankful, I don’t have to deal with them any more. So far, all has been functioning properly. Hooray!!!

Anyway, found an awesome fanmade PV compilation of Arashi, all PVs between 1999 – 2008.

That was so much fun! I kept smiling while watching it, and who wouldn’t? The boys certainly have grown and becoming more and more sexier each passing year, ne. They are almost a decade old, that’s brilliance. Let see how many boy bands out there that has lasted this long; there’s really only on a handful, not even. So happy to be an Arashi fangirl, so many brilliant songs, hilarious game shows and wonderful dramas to hear and to see. Here’s hoping to another 9 year journey of awesomeness!!

Update: Unfortunately, Youtube has deleted this. Will need to find new source.

Arashi goodies at my door and new photobooks….

by Fiona

Woohoo!!! :] Just received my Arashi Is Alive photobook, really didn’t expect this until the end of the week. A US Priority Mail box was sitting on my porch when I had arrived home a little while ago. Along with the photobook was a copy of the Time album (Wanted to purchase this album a while back. I can honestly say that I like 100% of the songs, it’s one awesome album), which was neated bubbled to prevent shipping damage.  Yesasia is always good at this, deliveries are on-time and most items are in-stock. Though, they can be on the expensive for most items like anime, TV series, etc.

Anyway, the photobook was larger than I had anticpated; the balloons on the cover suits this year’s Arashi theme. I was grinning with happiness as a flapped through the pages, there so many, many pictures of the of Jun-kun, Riida, Nino, Sho-kun and Aiba-chan.  *heart eyes* I really hope that they will release a DVD soon for us poor, overseas fans; would love to see the actual performance.

I was browsing through Yeasia again to check the release dates of the new Otakara photobooks, and spotted the ones for Nino, Sho-kun and Aiba-chan. Just seen the scans for Jun-kun’s and Ohno’s on Livejournal and want, want!!:D

Flipping a coin now to see if I should really pre-order all of them, it be would either these or food! *hehe* (Okay, okay, not food, my cash flow is fine, but I manage it with a fine comb. Definitely need since I have a mortgage, a car loan, student load, etc. %-) ) The gorgeous photobooks or the kawaii Tales of the Abyss coin figures! Why is it so hard to choose?? Me and my multi-fandoms, that where all of my money goes to! Anyway, here I go…. The results are…*drumroll*…, the smexy photobooks!! *does the happy dance* The figures will be for next month, I’m perfectly happy with this.

Gomen for the rambling.

Here’s some info:

The Otakara photobooks are unofficial, not released by Johnny’s. They are $19.49 USD each and are being released between September and November of this year. Below are the links to Yesasia’s order pages:
