I realized, I haven't said my "see you soon"s XD
Well, I'll be back fully online January of next year, but I'll check in with you all from time to time ^____^ (let's hope internet cafés in Chile still have reasonably cheap prices).
Meanwhile, I'm sorry I didn't write recaps of Supernatural -episodes 3 and 4-... they were so awesome I was left reeling and enjoying them so much it slipped my mind to write the recaps. Sorry.
I'm kinda nervous to do a japanese exam right before traveling... my mind is in packing, not the correct use of the "wo" particle, XD XD XD but I'll give it my best!. Gambarimashoo! Still, I'll have lots of time to study on my own in Chile, since I plan on bringing my books and cds with me XD.
I finished reading all the books I had planned on reading.
Finished Blaze of Memory (suri! LOL! I really thought that was gonna be the first one with a dead heroine, I got all exited since it would have been super dramatic... and then the kids showed up. XD XD XD man, what a surprise!)
And finished reading the Southern Vampire Series (Sookie Stackhouse books).
I LOVE THEM.
GO ERIC! Team Eric Northman all the way.
Dead and Gone: I still can't believe sookie fell for that clearly obvious trap of eric into marrying him. Bill redeemed himself in this book, IMHO, but I still think eric is the vamp for sookie. I'm kind of glad gran-dad Niall is gone though, the Stackhouses sure don't need any more trouble, but I have the sneaking suspicion there are fairies out there who didn't leave the human real and will be taking out their anger on sookie and jason, speaking of family, I wonder how little hunter is doing.
Now that I have to wait like everyone else for the next book (which will be out next year) I kinda want to check out HBO's True Blood. I wanna see what they changed from the books, and feel the overall atmosphere. From the clips I've seen in youtube it seems pretty dark and hot, and I can't stand all the teeny bopper pseudo-vampire stories out there right now. Gimme a good old scary and sexy vampire anytime, never cover them with teen angst and glitter. XD XD XD
Oh well.
See you soon you guys!
My wish has come true.
Arashi - all 5 of them - doing a drama, together.... TOGETHER.
*dies*
and the drama sounds so awesome too. ^^ SSaigo no Yakusoku.
Lots of stuff coming out next year for 2010 for Arashi. Sho's drama SP + drama, Jun's drama SP, and Nino's movie. o_o oh wowie. I am so happy I'm living in Japan right now xD
now. I hope my two other Arashi wishes come true.
-Nino + Jun + Shun + Mao do a drama together :)
-Arashi becomes like.. world famous. (and I mean, enough popularity to go touring in other continents)
yes? yes? yes?
Arashi is going to appear on a SP drama of Fuji TV : The Last Promise "Saigo no Yakusoku" with all 5 of them!!!
The special is about five guys who just happened to be in the same place when the entire building is taken hostage, a human suspense with unpredictable circumstances.
It will be in next year Spring. Further details are still unknown..

This really made me day night! ^o^

そんな中、主題歌「僕は君に恋をする」を歌う平井が花束を持って現れると、井上と岡田は互いに向き合って赤面。平井は「舞台あいさつは初めて。演者じゃ ないけど、来ちゃいました」と、してやったりの笑みを見せると、平井の大ファンだという井上は「この作品を観たいというのと、平井さんの曲も聴きたいとい う相乗効果が生まれてて、感謝してます!」と感激しきりだった。

長門裕之はメディアに好意的
29日、くも膜下出血で21日に亡くなった南田洋子(享年76)の通夜が東京・芝の増上寺で営まれる。 「静かに送ってあげたら」という声がある一方で、長門・南田夫妻のことは周囲が放っておかない。2人をモデルに映像化したいという企画書が多数持ち込まれ ているのだ。それも実に具体的だ。
「ある映画会社の企画書には長門が語り部、監督に実弟の津川雅彦、若い時の長門には人気俳優の小栗旬、妻の南田役には井上真央、晩年期は実弟の津川と桃井かおりという具体的な配役まで記されている」(事情通)
そこまでという内容である。また、テレビ局も動いている。手を挙げているのは3局。
夫妻を「ドキュメンタリ宣言」で取り上げ、高視聴率を獲得したテレビ朝日は映像が豊富だから、いつでも特番を制作できる。フジテレビは時期は未定ながら、 南田の視点から描いた特番ドラマだという。日本テレビはまだ先の話だが、介護をテーマに来年の24時間テレビ内で放送するドラマを企画中とか。テレ朝の番 組が20%を超える視聴率を記録し、長門が何度も会見を開き、メディアに好意的だから各局がその気になるのもわかる。ちなみに、30日の葬儀・告別式は各 局とも生中継の予定だ。
しかし、亡くなった人への対応としては軽々し過ぎるという印象があり、批判的な声も上がっている。認知症の南田を テレビに出演させた長門に対しては「女優のまま送ってあげることはできなかったのか」という意見があるし、介護生活を本にした時も「あそこまで身内のこと をさらけ出す必要があるのか」との指摘があった。
それでも歯止めはかからないようだ。現在、厚労省では長門を介護のイメージキャラクターに起用しようという声も上がっているという。亡くなった南田が静かに眠ることができる日はまだ先ということだろう。

That's how old I am today. :) As usual, I started up my birthday with an Arashi song. This time is 5x10.
Did the usual thing. Met up with my friend and we went karaoke. :D I wish there was Arashi bursting through the door when I sang A.Ra.Shi. Lol~ Dream on~~ Anyway, since we were there early, I went to Kinokuniya. At first, I wanted to buy a magazine with Arashi on the cover. But then I saw this:
Kyaaa!!! Boku Kimi photobook~ It costs 28 bux so I bought this instead of the Arashi magazine. Gomen minna~ I feel that the photobook is more worth it than that magazine coz I think it has a few pages on them.
I love this picture the most.
Mao in between two cute guys. :D

Congrats Arashi! (I really want that dvd...)
Omedetou Arashi!!~~
It has been 10 years since A.ra.shi deshou? Maa, I wasn't a fan at that time and now I still consider myself as a new fan though it has been at least 2 to 3 years since I started to get to know them.
However, I feel like all these times, the boys still remain as grounded as there, judging by watching their old shows.
Kore kara mo, I will follow Arashi. Hope you guys remain as grounded, down-to-earth,lovable, kind-hearted, funny people as you are now.
Do your best!!! And I too shall do my best in my everyday life. :D
P.S: Now listening to 5x10...and I still cry towards the end of the song no matter how many times I have listen to this song (around 250 times according to my iPod!!)
Knowing Arashi brings light my dull life. :D
