Randomness – June is only a day away….

by Fiona

Wow, I cannot believe it’s already the last day of May. Where has all of the time gone to? It feels like the the first half of 2008 just breezed by like a storm. Reflecting back brings a smile — learned plenty of things, met a few fabulous people, entered my journey into online blogging and began my Japanese fandom obsession.

I am quite happy to have learned so much of Japanese culture and its superb entertainment arena. Just wondered why I had previously disliked them so much…. Oh, I remember now — the terrible dubbing and the awful plot of a certain series that will remained unnamed. Mistakenly, I had stereotyped Jdramas into the same bunch…hey, sue me, I was naive. That reminds me that I have to thank Ninomiya Tomoko-sensei for her brilliant manga, Nodame Cantabile. Without Chiaki-sama and Nodame, I would have never began my devotion to Japanese entertainment. I also have certainly grown to love its artists, especially fond of Hiroshi Tamaki, Matsumoto Jun and of course, Arashi! For dream, ne!

I’m going to leave the rest as history, don’t want to ramble on and bored you out :p

Looking forward to June and the rest of the year, as well as, any new ventures that crosses my path!

Arashi – One Love (JunStyle)

by Fiona

The people at Livejournal are just wonderful, found a posting by ytec304. She had kindly provided a copy HYD Final’s themesong(full version), One Love; it was aired on JunStyle last evening. Jun-kun is such a darling, letting us preview the song before the CD is even released. Just finished listening to it for the third time, I really like it. Quite lovely, fits perfectly with HYD Final. Now I am even more anxious to watch the movie! Click here for the posting and download link.

On a side note, I am treating myself to a few Arashi and HYD related items. The following were purchased/pre-ordered the following:

Just couldn’t resist on the Arashigoto, read a few translations for the boys’ 10,000 word interviews and wanted the book at hand. Besides it marks their 5th anniversary commencement, definitely a keepsake. The preorders speak for themselves.

Matsumoto Jun – Message to USC attendees

by Fiona

Jun-kun is such a sweetheart – so thoughtful and caring. Just read the heartwarming message which he had left for those who had attended the USC screening of The Hidden Fortress: The Last Princess. The post can be found on Jsinufan’s LiveJournal. Though, I didn’t have the opportunity to attend this wonderful event, his words speak for themselves – from his heart. He is truly one amazing individual who recognizes the importance of his fans, as well as, Arashi’s. Definitely, brings a long-lasting smile! heart1.gif heart1.gif
