I just wanted to say... I have not disappeared! I just haven't had time to do anything Arashi-related, not on my own journal at least. =x I've been doing some posts here and there on random Arashi communities. Not much time for comments either. School and work is killer. -_- But I still love Arashi!
Here's a little gif that I made from the [Time] concert dvd, if you haven't already seen it in a_ra_shi. It's so droolworthy. =D

This is just a really simple video translation of Nino's beautiful song [Kako] that I did for fun. I love the song so much and the lyrics are very pretty. I hope you enjoy it!
Note: There are many different version of translations of this song. I went with this one because it sounds very poetic and it suits the song. Therefore though, the translation isn't as straightforward and simple as the others.

( When you died, you sank into my heart and lived on. )

It's not bad for something made on Windows Movie Maker right? =X
Also, I read somewhere that this song was a gift to one of the grandparents from Mago Mago Arashi... can anyone confirm/deny this?

I bring you the much anticipated "Marathon SP" starring our very own Nino. ^____^
I haven't watched this (Japanese illiterate, ya see T.T) because I don't want to spoil it for myself. The wonderful stormy_team     will be subbing this, so I will be patiently waiting for it before I watch. From the previews and trailers, it seems like a very touching and beautiful piece of work with amazing acting from Nino (of course). Well enjoy~~~~~

I very much enjoyed this episode of shukudai (like every other fangirl). There were sooo many cute moments that I decided to make gifs of them. ^____^
Enjoy~~~~~
Warning: 12 gifs = VERY slow computer!!

If you use any of these, please credit me since these took a while to make with my annoyingly slow computer.

Picture spam time~~ a really big one too (150 pictures). These pictures are of Arashi raburabu of all types. I hope that some of these are new for you but if they aren't, sorry but it never hurts to look at them again right? I also hope there are no double posts of pictures, but let me know if there are any so I can take the duplicate down.
I tried my best to not favor any person or pairing and I hope it showed although there are a lot of Nino pics. It was unintentional, really. He just loves the boys the most in my opinion, which is why there are so many of him. I also didn't purposely leave anyone out so it really was an accident if I don't have a lot of your ichiban. I truly love all of them equally.

Credits: These were taken from here and there without the intention of sharing so I really have no idea where they are originally from. Some of them still have watermarks of the original uploaders but if you see any of your pictures here, tell me and I can credit you. I will also take your pictures down if you want me to.

I finally decided to try my hand at icon making. It's really scattered and not organized at all but I hope you like! ^^

UPDATE: If anyone cares, I've reuploaded the video onto divshare so you can now watch it! ^^
Finally, a Hana Yori Dango related post! I was listening to "Tabidachi no Asa" and it suddenly hit me that it would make a great song for a fanvid. The concept of this video is of how the love square between Domyouji/Makino/Shigure/Rui (mostly of the former three.. gomen Rui fans because he only has a short cameo.. =x) tears apart Domyouji and Makino's relationship. It's actually a pretty depressing video with no happy scenes. Gomen for that but since the actual drama had a happy ending, everything's fine right? ^^

UPDATE: I added some pictures and a couple more questions from the press conference. I was baka enough to somehow skip them. One of the questions? Is there a possibility that Arashi and the director will perform together at your next concert?
I've compiled the Nino-related parts of the special features of "Letters from Iwo Jima". It's not too long but I figured some people might like to see what he said. Warning: Very long post (because of the pictures and my thoughts). x]

Teaser: One thing I had in common with my character was our longing to go home to Japan.

( Nino must've missed his fellow Arashi members... )
( 12 Pictures! )

I wanted to take pictures but my dad came home and he already thought it was weird that I was pausing and rewinding and writing things down so I didn't want to get in front of the tv and start taking pictures. >.> I will hopefully get some later today though.
I will try and post videos up but I can't promise you. :x I hope you guys liked it!

One of my favorite Arashi PVs (despite Matsujun's extensions and Michael Jackson look :x). I couldn't find a subbed version so I made one myself. Credits to suikamelon for the translations of the song and dialogue. Enjoy! ^^

( Video and download links )

I had posted this up last night but I realized that the video had a lag in it. Gomen if anyone downloaded it. I'm pretty sure that there is nothing wrong this time. *crosses fingers* I'm very sorry for the fairly large size (103.5 MB) too. I wanted to keep it under 100 MB but it wasn't possible if I wanted to avoid any lagging.

I saw a video of the boys singing to Jun and I thought it was one of the sweetest things ever. It makes me really happy that they're all such good friends because so many groups have internal issues. Another reason why Arashi is so special and different from other groups. ^___^
Back to the video... I saw it and I really wanted to know what they were saying. I'm (obviously) Japanese illiterate so I tried extremely hard to find translations. I asked if anyone had translations on jun_daily   and kikintae   was kind enough to point me to winkychan   who had softsubs to the Nino Cam video that had Jun's song on it. Ahh, needless to say, I was very happy and hardsubbed it immediately. Here is the finished product. Enjoy~!

( I really should stop with my unneeded rambling... )

Does anyone have the video of Aiba reading the letter to the Arashi members during 24TV? I have one but it's extremely small and you can't see the subs. Arigatou! I also don't know what they're saying before Aiba speaks so I don't know if I should take that out of the video or keep it unsubbed..
I also am going to start uploading Arashi no Shukudai-kun episodes here if you are interested in watching them without wanting to download them.
