Kai's Arashi Trail                                                        

Late Oct 2003... exams period

the exams r driving me crazie... once the madness ends, i'm gonna pamper myself... got a sudden urge to watch nino in Netsuretsu Teki Chuuka Hanten. he was really cool in Handoku and that really attracted me ! wanna catch him in action again !! ^0^

Early Nov 2003

...didnt manage to borrow the set ... my fren's sister is watching it now... my fren brought me Kimi wa Petto instead. The plot seems interesting... Matsu Jun acts as Momo in the show...

 

 

...Nov '03...a few days later...

モモかわい !!!

I'm totally absorbed in the show! The way the plot developed was splendid! I like it ! All I wanted all week was to pursue on with the show ! I like Jun as Momo in the show, and Koyuki as Sumeri ~ !!

 

Nov '03...the rest of it...

モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ 

モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ モモ !!

can't get enough of モモ !!

 

3rd week of Nov '03...Rainy..

My fren brought me her Arashi collection, more of Arashi and モモ !! I dug out the Arashi clippings which i have saved down for my fren all these months. i went through them again. 

i gave up the idea of giving it to her. ;p

 

I dug the 2 Arashi CDs i bought long ago - Singles Collection 1999-2001 and Ichigou.

 It's only now that i realise i havent really paid much real attention to the songs inside. And thanks god i did now, the songs were really great !!

 

in the collection my fren passed me, there was SUGAO 2 [JE Jr Concert 1999] & Miman City [NTV1997 Oct - Dec]. On top of that i watched PINKACHI... ^-^

モモ かわい !!!

Miman City is an old Kinki drama, Momo acted as a little boy whose both parents died and was separated from his sister in the show. All he had was a little doggie to keep him accompany. Though he was weak and was often bullied, he maintained his kind heart and could never bear to hurt any others, even if it meant endangering his own life. Somehow, it reminded me of Katori-kun, in Miseinen [TBS 1995 Oct-Dec]. Both characters shared similar fates and characteristics... which again, stirred the mother nature in me again ... [i seemed to like all the tragic roles in dramas...] but Momo just had that boyish grin and sparkling eyes... juz like Katori-kun in Miseinen... oh boy ~ !

Nov/Dec '03... getting rainy-er...

wanna hear more of Arashi...

wanna know about them...

wanna more contact ....

1st week of Dec '03...

Finally finished Miman City!

First time. Dreamt of Momo. First time i dreamt of an artiste and it is not any of the Smapsters.

He was donning a black sweater, a pair of black jeans, and tied up his hair in a pony tail. Sitting crosslegged on the ground, he was giving an assuring smile that made people felt at ease. ^-^

*yabe*

The next night.

Second time, i dreamt of Momo.

Or rather, i dreamt of the 'Typhoon Generation' PV.

*oops*

 

December 2003...

Discussed Arashi with another fren. She mentioned watching them in MS BEST 50 a few years back...and one member caught her eye, but she cant remember which one. i dug out my tapes to check. *curious ;p*

started watching the tapes which i havent touched for ages again... i got reminded of the days when MS was still on channel 8, and we fans would keep watch every Thursday night, call up one another, chat on the phone, discussing our idols' appearance and performance, giggling our way through the night as we taped down the variety show. those were the days! *laugh* those were really fond memories... ^-^

4th December 2003

i bought HERE WE GO.

i was surprised to learn that it's 180 degrees different from ICHIGOU. it sounds kinda jazzy, and it's kinda sensual in some manners. in fact, it sounds a bit Smap... someone inside sounds like kimura... who's that?

And again, i was reminded of the days such a long time ago, when i just got ICHIGOU, when the j-fever was at its peak in Singapore, when yahoogroups were still known as egroups, in Johnny's Entertainment egroup, i have once discussed that one Arashi member sounds like Kimura in a song in ICHIGOU - Ai to Yuuki to Cherry Pie... I could still recall the mails vividly. Funnily though. The JE fan who discussed this with me is now a pal by my side, and i doubt she'd remember all that we have once shared then. *grinz* we were all strangers then. but we are all buddies now. it feels so amazing now looking back.

And i recall of more fond memories.

I recalled of all the fans that i got to know when i was a newbie. I remembered how my fren would let her handphone ring 'Typhoon Generation' on and on just cuz she doesnt wanna pick up the call. "the song sounds better" she'd say... ^.^

i recalled how a smappie converted to an arashi fan overnight cuz she dreamt of jun one night after watching suppin concert... those were the fun days... ^o^ but i have lost contact with all of them...

and i remembered that i sold my very own copy of Suppin, Arashi debut concert away...it was to a fren of one of the Katori fans who i still keep in contact currently... that's how we first met! ^.^ ...and now i gonna find back another copy of Suppin. Chotto baka mitai... ^^;;

Guess the new found passion for Arashi will just keep growing for me. It's really a very warm feeling as i recall the good old days over the past one month. ^-^ The past that i've been through was what made who i am today. Thanks to Smap i'm here today, and thanks to Arashi, that i have regained what i once have had yesterday. :)
