Happy 24th Birthday Sho-Kun

Happy 24th Birthday Sho-kun. Already 24 years old.. time really flies..I started to like Arashi in 2003. I did not notice Sho-kun in the beginning and actually he is the last member I noticed in Arashi but he became my favourite member very fast. I think he got the rapper face. When I first listen to their songs I cannot differentiate their voice but I guess that he should be the rapper and I actually guess correctly...I find this really amazing..

I do not like rap songs actually but I find that the rap of Arashi is different and suit my taste. Actually I like those songs of Arashi with raps more than those songs without raps...

Sometimes people will call Sho-kun Keio boy cos he studied in Keio since primary school right up to universary. I admire him becos he is able to handle both school work and the busy schedules of show biz. It really take a lot of hardwork and determination to graduate from university. For example, once he had a drama and exam at the same time. He only slept for 8 hrs in a week. And for that week he had never slept on the bed...I really cannot imagine life like this..

I think many will agree that Sho-kun is so perfect.. he got the looks and the brain. He can be cute and sexy at the same time...he got the hanayori dango looks but he is not sissy/girlish..The only thing I think makes him less perfect is his singing..but he is in charge of raps so I think the singing part can leave it to Ohno or Nino and the rest of Arashi..

Lastly, Happy Birthday Sho-kun!! There are so many solo activities for you this year from solo concert to moives. Hope that you will take good care of yourself. Hope that I will be able to see your live performance real soon.. Looking forward to see your performance this year..

Arashi's Relationships

Alert:
Actually what I'm about to write will spoilt the image of Arashi.. so if anyone who is reading this and think that they cannot accept. Pls stop reading and leave immediately...
Pls do not read and then scold me, ok??

Here you go..

I had just saw some bad photos of Aiba Chan..I think many people may have seen the photos and know about the news like a year ago already that Aiba loves to date with models. I also heard abt the photos but I had only saw the photos myself today.. I really disturbed by the photos..

The photos show a half nude couple and that is Aiba Chan and his ex-girlfriend..*speechless* The photos appears to be taken by Aiba. Actually it is taken by him and they are closed to one another and one photo shows they are kissing and the girl obviously is topless.... *faint* I think it is very obvious they took it when they are ......... ok don't have spell out right and you all should have guess it.. From Aiba's hairstyle and face can see that the photos are taken quite sometime back. Actually I feel that it should be 1-2 years back. Aiba really looks quite young compared to now.. He looks a lot more mature now.. According to other fans, these very personal photos leak out becos Aiba broke off with the girl and the girl posted the photos on web out of revenage. oh well... angry girls are frightening.. and I feel that Aiba should not have taken such photos in the first place. I think maybe he is too naive or too lack of experience back then.. Let's not considered that he is an idol. For normal couples I feel that it is not wise to take such photos as who know one day may break off and the other party will go round showing people the photos..of cos some people who are blind by love will believe that they will be together forever.. Ok I believe that most Japanese, I mean the general public in Japan are quite open about sex. And I do not think that they will remains as vigins until marrage..but these kind of thing is still considered as very personal...
Although, Johnny is very strict and protective of his talents image. I do not believe that Johnny san has the ability to stop his boys from getting into a relationship... especially those boys who have already debut and have a certain level of popularity.. he cannot be firing the boys who already are his money spinners. Those less popular one maybe yes, he can still do that..but for Arashi's member whom already debut for something like 3-4 years (back then when the incident happened) it will means great losses and it not only affects Aiba but the group as a whole..Ok Aiba is considered lucky in a way that he can get off with it and fans do not have much actions against him becos of this incident..

I heard of Nino having xxx with a girl in a car before also..actually I heard it even before I heard of the Aiba incident.. But I think the relationship between Nino and the girl is like one night stand. And also heard that Ohno has a girlfriend now too, the girl is a model and she is sweet looking. And in magazine last year..also recorded in Arashi Goto photobook that Ohno said that he has the urge to get married. He wants to see how his children will look like..oh well at their age now I believe that it is quite normal to have the urge to have girlfriends..and maybe start a family.. Cannot imagine Ohno with his children.. ugh..stop thinking.. haha..

Koichi 27th Birthday! Otanjoubi Ometedou

Koichi was borned on 1-Jan-1979. A very easy to remember date. I like Koichi becos he is part of Kinki Kids. Although I like Tsuyoshi much more but if you ask me, you perfer Kinki Kids or Tsuyoshi I will answer Kinki Kids. I love them together. I admire Koichi's talent in dancing and stage performance like Shock. I think that Koichi's is really very charming when he is dancing and whenever he is dressed in suits.
The very first concert that I saw was Kinki's Taipei Concert. That time I only like Tsuyoshi and actually didn't know much about Koichi. But I begin to notice and like Koichi after watching the concert. I am so amazed by his backflip. This is the very first time I see such a backflip.. so impressive..
2006 is the last time Koichi is going to perform in Shock. I think many may be sad and decide to rush to see him performs for the last time. However, I'm actually happy that he is not going to perform anymore. As it is really heartaching to see him fall off the stairs and flying all over the place and lost 5kg after the stageplay ends. Tsuyoshi always says that Koichi is so tried that he cannot move an inch after Shock. His back will be blue black all over... I think he is overworking himself.. I think he should love himself more. I think if he continues to perform Shock it is really bad for his health. He will not only have an ojisan's mind but also ojisan's body..:p

Happy 27th Birthday Koichi, the first birthday boy in 2006!! Take good care of yourself my prince and with good health then you are able to take good care of my princess..haha...

The birthday boy in Jan will be Sho-kun..

Aiba Chan 23rd Birthday Omedetou!

It is end of the year and it is the last birthday baby of Arashi, Aiba Chan's birthday!
Aiba Chan is borned on Christmas Eve and actually sort of "planned" by his mum as she wants her baby to be borned on Christmas Eve. I really wonder how she managed to plan it?!?!

Anyway I think the main reason I love Arashi is becos they have great chemistry together and they never fails to make me laughs. Aiba Chan is a sunshine boy who is pure and innocent and will not try to hide his true feelings in front of the TV. To me he is someone who will cry out loud when he is sad and laugh out loud when he is happy. I think he may appears to be playing a fool or baka in bagumi but I think that he has serious attitude towards work. Still remember when he is sick during All or Nothing period. He was sick but still worried abt work and his members. And filming the doubuzi with tigers, lions in South Africa. I admired his courage. And not forgetting the touching letter he wrote for Arashi in 24hrs TV.

Can I scream?? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..........................................Sorry if I caused any noise pollution..

Updated Nino's profile

I had update Nino's profile under "Do you know?" that he had hurt his left hand during his Junior days.. I feel so sad..I knew that he hurt his hand before in Junior days from bagumi before but didn't know that the condition is that bad..he left hand does not even have the strength to hold the microphone for 2.5hrs during concert.
I'm still wondering why he is the only person who is not using a handheld microphone during the Iza Now Concert. Now I know the real reason.. no wonder in the MagoMago Arashi Boat race he is not able to be in the rowing position. In MagoMago they are asked to measure the strength of their hands and Nino's left hand strength is even weaker than his right hand. (P/S: Nino is left handed) Luckily, he can use both hands effectively, I remembered his grandfather or is one of his elders trained him to use both hands when he is a child so he is able to use his right hand effectively as well. Poor Nino.. feel so sad for him... and he never tell about his hand injury is that serious until now, I think if is not becos of the boat race we will never know that... I really feel that Johnny boys must had suffered a lot of hardship during their junior days and only lucky few will be able to become famous and there are hundreds who suffered in silent and is never known by anyone.

Arashi's hands shaking event

To promote the WISH singles. Arashi held a hands shaking event recently.

Below is the information I gathered from forums:

The sequence is Ohno->Aiba->Matsujun->Sho->Nino
And it is said that some fans did not shake hands with all the members. Some are too happy or excited after shaking the hands of their fav member and they simply forgot abt that there are more members behind... Nino as the last person had to call the fans back to shake hands with him.. oh how sad!!
Sho was going to tell the above story on MS but was rudely stopped by the MS music.
I do not know how true is the story but it is quite hurt for Nino or maybe Sho.. I don't know. I think Japanese fans are too fortunate as they often get to see Arashi and I think they are not appreciative of the chance to shake hands with them. If I'm them I will definitely want to shake hands with all of them no matter if they are my fav member or not.

But of cos if given a choice I will prefer the sequence to be like that:
Matsujun->Aiba->Nino->Ohno->Sho... heehee.. reason?? isn't that obvious?? haha!!!

Tsuyoshi design T-Shirts but only limited to 60pcs

Tsuyoshi becomes a designer and design T-Shirts and selling in EDWIN Shop
The brandname is ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI
The T-shirt is only on sell from 2-Dec-05 to 4-Dec-05 and only limited to 20pcs per size. There are 3 sizes - S/M/L and that means only limited to 60pcs. There are only one shop that is selling. That is the Hanajuku shop. The T-shirt cost abt SGD80.

Think the T-Shirts must had sold like hotcakes.. think there will be a long queue outside the shop before the shop is opened and fans will go in and grap whatever size they have. Think some may be investors who will buy and sell in Internet at unbelievable high price. I really don't understand why they have to make it so limited. I think something like limited to 500pcs will be reasonable but 60pcs is way too little.
