So far, so good, 2010

[antpower]

So, I haven't really done anything productive this year. I mean, I started a fic where Arashi battle the forces of evil, but it kind of really sucked, so I went back to working on my novel. But then there was all this awful plot stuff I had to think about, so I had a nap instead.

I worked New Year's Day. It was triple time, so I didn't mind staying in NYE. My sister and I tried to watch Kouhaku through keyhole TV, but we only managed to see NYC Boys and some enka singer lady, then it died and we watched Iza, Now instead, so good times were had by all nevertheless, and I got to watch Kouhaku when it was uploaded anyway. As far as that goes, I have something to say...


This only reenforces my theory that Arashi are clones!! I mean, we timed it, right, and it's not possible to change clothes that quickly. Even taking into consideration smoke machines and velcro pants and this kind of thing.

I think Johnny has cloned them so that one day in the near future he can sell them to willing fangirls. I would like to pre-order a full set right now please.


Then I watched the Countdown, which was awesome. Was it just me, or was Domoto Tsuyoshi totally out of it? Either that or in a really bad mood. The bit where Arashi had sunflower microphones was the cutest thing ever and I really can't understand how Yamapi just keeps getting hotter. I think Akanishi Jin has been eating his feelings, I was joking about him getting fat at last year's Countdown, but seeing him standing next to Jun this year really made it stand out!!

Mostly, over the holiday period, I've just been watching j-dramas that I started last year and never finished. I shall make a list of them!!

Haikei, Chichiue-sama - Nino is a cook and in love with Sister Angela from 1 Pound Gospel, who only speaks French on certain days of the week. She was a bit annoying, but I think that was mainly because I was still mad at her for failing so hard in VSA a few weeks ago. Anyway, it was cute and featured Nino looking a little bit retarded everytime he made his "stupidly in love" face. I bought this from the Asian DVD store in the city and the subtitles on it were terrible. XP

Half Doctor - Nagase is an incompetent doctor who heals people by his incredibly manly hotness understanding their feelings and yelling at them in a Nagase-type way. He lives in this share-house type place with blonde!Nino, who's a cute little hoodlum. It's pretty much Ikebukuro West Gate Park with doctors instead of gangs and things.

Scrap Teacher - Yamada, Chinen and other members of HSJ that I'm less familiar with cure bad teachers of bad teachering by being mysterious and having access to helicopters and other things that don't really make sense but are kind of awesome anyway. (Also from Asian DVD store with bad subs.)

Utahime - Nagase lost his memory in the war, so he moved in with this family who run a cinema in a little beach town. It's basically the story of the town and the family - mainly Nagase and the youngest daughter (Aibu Saki) and it's one of the best dramas I've seen in a long time, I highly recommend it! Features Sato Ryuta as the most awesome yakuza guy ever!!! Five stars and two thumbs up!

That's about it for me. I'm trying to suck less at LJ this year, but I'm not sure how long that will last. I'm a terribly lazy person.

Oh, also! I finally saw the recent episode of VSA with Gackt. I think he and Jun should get married and have awesome bling together.

SECONDED. Leader can come too. And hug Gackt some more. ♥

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yes!! Leader and Gackt are so cute together!! Why is it that Gackt is kind of scary except when he's with Arashi???

[littlealex.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW. But it makes me love ALL of them more. ♥

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

YES!! Arashi's adorableness makes everything more awesome!!

[linhxisxrisque.livejournal.com]

I agree about Tsuyoshi. D: He didn't look like he was in a good mood.

Jin... DDX *sighs* Must agree on that one, too; standing next to Matsujun never helps, lol.

Thirded @ GacktJun, I died happily when Gackt chose him. ♥

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wonder what was up with that.

The decline of Akanishi Jin really disappoints me, he used to be the hottest man on the planet!

And the way he said it too, as if there could be no other choice possible than Jun! XP

You can't order a full of Arashi clones unless you plan on giving one to your sister. It will be kinda like at Xmas time when you give someone the chocolate you like least in your Cadbury Roses but it's their favourite (like I give you the strawberry one).

Thanks for cooking dinner while I read your lj by the way :D

Also you haven't misssed a day of work this year so far! Nice job.

Also, the most mysterious thing about Scrap Teacher is that the girls at the school think chinen is hot and Yamada isn't! Is it a blind school?

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Of course I'll give you one. You can time-share Jun too if you like, and maybe sometimes even Aiba.

I think the most mysterious thing is why didn't anyone look into the incredibly creepy relationship between Scrap Teacher and other-Jump.

First off: Happy New Year to you!!

Kouhaku was really surprising. I still complaining about the thick smoke when I realised they did this on purpose *laugh* Anyway, it's kind of funny, because you can hear all the sounds their clothes make while changing. X'D Anyway, i like your clone-theory, please put me on the pre-order list =D

Countdown: It was brilliant. Enjoyed every second, I even forgot that I wanted to be RIGHT THERE. I really should pay more attention, didn't notice Jin being fat(ter) at all (even though I like to make fun of him XD) - thanks for the hint =D

Also thanks for the reviews, haven't watched any of those dramas yet. Well, I saw the first episode of Scrap Teacher, the only thing remember was some joke about Code Blue XD

[shelketuesti.livejournal.com]

Wuhu, I start the new year with crappy English! Ignore the typos XD

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year to you too!! (It's still January, so it still counts, right?)

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed both Kouhaku and the Countdown!! I really think they must be clones, I don't see how they could possibly work so much otherwise!! I think Jin's possibly lost a bit of weight since last year, he seemed really out of shape during the start of the year - especially at the Break the Records tour, but apparently he was ill around then, so I don't know??? It really is fun making fun of him though, isn't it!!! XP

Scrap Teacher isn't the greatest drama ever, honestly, it gets a bit same-y, but it's still kind of amusing. Utahime was awesome though. I've been on a big Nagase drama kick lately. XD

rofl. i think tsuyoshi just probably hates doing countdowns. i would too if i were him.

the more important thing was that tackey & tsubasa were in the same vicinity as each other and tsubasa had GOOD HAIR.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

LOL! I can't imagine anyone hating doing the Countdowns though, it's such glittery sparkly awesome!!

Yes, that was awesome!!! Tsubasa wasn't there at all last year, was he???

[elementree.livejournal.com]

tsubasa was at the main countdown stage, while tackey was off flying around in his theater again the last time.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Ah, so he was!! I honestly can't remember much from last year except for Tackey's super sparkly water fountain flying superman-ness!! XP

[jadeswallow.livejournal.com]

i'm really surprised too at how fast they can changed their clothes.is that even possible? and imagine what will happen if they fail xD
yup Dots look super bored, i wonder why...perhaps bcause nagase stole doko away from him? lol
arashi's sukiyanen is the best part of the night..i'm hoping someone will cut and upload that part only
i love jun's hair!
oh,and kanjani practically ruined One Love xD

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

See, they should just do everything naked, and that way they wouldn't have to worry about changing clothes!!

[scandalousheart.livejournal.com]

I loved their Kohaku performance! I was definitely surprised when they changed outfits hehe It's hard to believe that it was their first performance at Kohaku XD

This year's countdown was awesome ^.^ I loved every part of it... even Tackey and his fail flying lol

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yes!! Though, I guess they do so many other TV appearances that you'd expect them to be awesome!!!

[bunny-d-kate.livejournal.com]

Tsuyo really looked like he totally wasn't enjoying himself.. .__.

Utahime really is SUPER AWESOME!! <33
And Half Doctor sounds pretty cool! Is it subbed?

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yes, Utahime was amazing!!!

Half Doctor is subbed on the Arashian archive site here under "dramas" - when you click on the download links you have to remember to take the archive bit out of the web address or it won't work. I think it's been translated into Chinese and then English or something, so the subs are a bit random sometimes, but you can still follow it okay and everything. XD

[solesakuma]

Ooh, so Utahime is actually good?

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Utahime is really good. It's kind of funny and bittersweet and really lovely, I definitely recommend it!

[inuhariko.livejournal.com]

Okay. Utahime is on my Must Watch list now. THANKS!

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

No problem!! Let me know what you think of it!!
