I found something that really suprised me...

I was checking the Oricon single ranking, I saw that Masafumi's Sen no kaze ni natte is still no. 3 on the chart. well, it doesn't really surprised me because that song is really a big hit and it clings to the chart since its debut.

What shocked me was the no. 5 entry... it was ＰＩＫＡ☆ＮＣＨＩ!!!
I'm not expecting any Arashi song because their new single is not released yet and "Happiness" is out of the chart already.

Check it out : Oricon Weekly Single Ranking 11 January 2008

Btw, Pikanchi was released on 17 October 2002

I've read in an Asian magazine that Korean pop star Rain's series of concert in america was cancelled due to someone sued him because of using the screen name "Rain". that person said that he was the one who use that name.

And while i'm searching the net about Arashi, i stumbled into a site of a band with the same name as our favorite boys. check their site here : http://www.arashimusic.com/bio.html 
Their site said that this band was stablished in 1998, while our Arashi was debuted in 1999.

My point is, our Arashi might have the same problem as Rain had when they plan to make promotions in America.




 

Arashi performed their debut song "A.Ra.Shi" with earmuffs and blindfolds. This clip taken from Arashi no Shukudai-kun episode 48 literally knocked me out of my chair and made me roll on the floor laughing. 

 
This is indeed the funniest performance of A.Ra.Shi EVER!

I came across this video on Youtube, Nino speaks English!
Well, I have to say that his better than Aiba-chan.
But what I love with this video is that I've never seen Nino this tense before.
His a laid back guy and it's fun to see him struggling sometimes.

Nino + English + Pesky reporters  = Watch YTM, okay?

PS : At the end part of the video clip Nino said, "Could you like teach me?" 
I'll give away my sisters to teach you!

Arashi's hairstyle check!
The pictures below are taken from Arashi no Shukudai-kun「30-Jul-07 episode」



Matsumoto... I don't like this hairstyle! It's the same style back on 2004 the 24 Jikan show. I hope he cut it soon. This is the 2nd worst Jun's hairstyle.

Sakurai... It's more flatter than Mimura's hair, it's an OK hairdo. It's nice to see his hair back to its natural color.

Ohno... he doesn't change his hairstyle much, but he keeps on changing its color. This hairstyle is more spikey than  few months ago.

Ninomiya... it's Yamada's hair! This hairstyle makes him 16 years old and nice. I always think that Nino has a very thick hair.

Aiba... PERM! YAY! This is the first time I saw Aiba's hair permed. I like it on him. Not his best hairstyle but it's good on him.

I was watching 'Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori' last night...

I've watched the 1st season last year and started to watch the 2nd season right after I finished the 1st one. I thought that the first 9 episodes of the 2nd season have the some plot as the 1st, that's why I'd pause watching it, and after long months I started to continue watching it again.

I never thought that the 2nd season was far more better than the 1st installment of this not-really-scary horror animé.

This season focused more on individual characters of Enma Ai's followers. It also revealed how Wanryuudo, Ichimoku Ren & Hane Onna met Ai.

Many episodes touched me... and the ending episode even made me cry for the last 5 minutes of the show.

I actually confused why am I crying.
Am I crying because at last, after 400 something years, Ai is free?
Or because freeing Ai means that she had to be seperated with his faithful followers... her true family?
I was even touched when Kikuri cried, she was the Master of Hell who gave that curse to Ai and yet she was sad to see Ai suffering the same scenario.

This animé maybe in a horror category but this one sure hit me... deep.
 
 
 
 
 

Here are the lyrics of all the songs in the album "Time".
It includes kanji & romaji.


Because we just have to sing along with the boys

Here are the Limited Edition tracks of Arashi's new album, Time.


Download guide : Right click the title and choose 'Save target as'.

Ohno solo : Song for me
~so i could, so i would, you know~  I think this is the hardest song to sing along with... the tune is not catchy.


Aiba solo : Friendship
~itsumo arigatou~  I like 'Itsuka no summer' but if I have to choose between these two, I would pick this one.


Ninomiya solo : 虹 (Niji - Rainbow)
~niji ga kirei da yo~  Nino is very good with serenade songs, I gues that's why he had to sing this one.


Sakurai solo : Can't let you go
~hanasanaide~  Of course, there's rap!


Matsumoto solo : Yabai-Yabai-Yabai  (Dangerous) 
~viva my self~  As of this moment, this is my favorite solo in this album.

Though I haven't get hold of my 'Time' album yet, the ever generous hikaru sakurai (from jdorama.com) shared the regular edition and I couldn't resist. I told myself that I would wait until my orignal cd come but that will be still around 3 weeks and I really couldn't stop myself...

Anyways, I also want to share this wonderful album to all Arashi fans and fan-in-the-making.

Arashi - Time (Regular Edition)

Track 01 : Oh Yeah!
I fell in love with this song the moment I heard the first beat... 

Track 02 : Love so sweet
We all love this song, aren't we?

Track 03 : Wave
I heard it a couple of times and for me there's nothing special with this song. Well, I like the part where Ohno echoed ~wave wave~

Track 04 : We can make it!
A song that all reminded us of Janet Jackson's Everytime.

Track 05 : Firefly
This song sounds like a western boyband songs. It reminded me of Backstreet boy's 'The Call', but i like this song.

Track 06 : 太陽の世界 (Taiyou no sekai)
I like this song! Lot's of Sakurap & the chorus is so catchy, I can imagine Arashi dancing with this song.

Track 07 : Carry on
A gloomy love song...

Track 08 : Rock you
Not really a rock song, but I like its beat... a typical Arashi song.

Track 09 : Cry for you
I started to like this song the second time I listen to it. The meaning is also something but I kind of dislike how they ended the song, the start and the middle part is somewhat powerful but in the end part it started to weaken.

Track 10 : Love situation
Ordinary song, but I like the chorus.

Track 11 : 風 (Kaze)
I was expecting a lot from this song, but it's just plain and simple track.

Track 12 : Be with you
Yet another slow love song... Ohno's voice at the beginning of this song is not the usual, I couldn't tell that it was Ohno!

Track 13 : Life
Ordinary song... Sakurai's rap reminds me of Shounan no kaze's Junrenka.

Track 14 : アオゾラペダル (Aozora pedal)
I was addicted to this song for a month!

Track 15 : Everybody前進 (Everybody zenshin)
~everybody zenshin! come on everybody! zenshin arunomii oh oh oh~  I love this song! 

Enjoy~~  ^__^

i just found out my japanese name it's 勝利 (shouri).
it means winner since my real name is ma. victoria.
... in chinese it's shèng lì.

kyaaa~
