AnAn translation Aiba part

Got my AnAn! I was actually more excited about CUT but it's not here yet, not until friday.

Anyway, I saw the translation for the messages part (which are just full love<3),  I haven't see any translation of each member page. I just did Aiba-chan page, cuz I've been seriously falling for this guy lately. Such a sweetheart. 

"As the concert hall getting bigger, i do feel like 'Wow.. We're supported by soo many people!'  For example in Kokuritsu, 70,000 people in 1 performance. But, i think the important thing is to keep striving with all our best in every little thing like we had been doing. It's the year that should be commemorated, i feel like doing something big, it's the 10th year, but doesn't mean i'll suddenly act like grown up(laugh)." 
       
Aiba Masaki
Will keep running  forward, becomes everyone's motivation/encouragement.

Exploded airhead character in variety show, however Aiba Masaki, his figure is like a model, he fits any fashion style. There must be many fans longing for him to challenge in completely different from his usual image like romance drama or cool character. 

"Do I have that kind of "kakkoii" (cool/good looking) factor in me? But, i do feel like showing different side of me, since i could go "daa-"(swoosh?) like storm-trooper and yet i do have delicate side. Huh? you asking me am i not aiming for fashion leader? If i make a statement here it will give a wrong idea! Let's stop this embarrassing topic!! (laugh)"

Embarassed to his own subject, when it come to arashi his feeling is passionately burning. 
"Arashi is fine as it is Arashi now. I think it would be great if 10 years later we still have the same atmosphere. Even after each of us personally earns various experiences, when 5 of us get together we'll be doing stupid things. And it would be nice if people who are watching our TV or concert get a positive encouragement, even just little. I have always feel this way, and i will keep running forward like this."      

Personal Comment:

-Love how he mention 10th year won't suddenly change him acting like grown up. You are going to be 26 next month Aiba-chan, i think you are fully grown up adult. >U< ... i know i know... he meant his attitudes. ^^  i wish the same.

-I 100% agree, he need to get more kakkoii role! i don't know the story line for the butai next year and or what's his role is, but for sure love to see the gap between his tennen-chara and his model looks more. <3 And he was in CDTV top 10 trend leader last year and this year, right? 4th and 7th?

-It's very aiba-chan to be so passionate about arashi ne~!

back to #1! Arashi saikou!

They doing great ne! Sooo proud of them! (^U^)V

Picture 1

illustration

the charcoal drawing get me into drawing mood. 

I did my first Illustration on aiba-chan. i haven't done it bcus i wasn't sure if my style will portray arashi. 

That's why i've tried diff style. realistic, manga, and rough drawing with charcoal. I had fun with it so it was all good.

But i just feel it's missing something. It's not something that i can proudly say, this is my work, kind of feeling.

So i just give it a try with something im familiar with. my illustration. 

I did not put too much detail or spend too much time as i would on my real project cus it was just for fun. 

I do fashion illustration, so this aiba-chan doesn't exactly look like aiba-chan. It's stylized.

Taken from latest wink up. thought about doing the whole pic illustration but not in the mood of color in the whole plaid.

I normally i use marker paper, but this time i just draw it in my sketch book. I use COPIC marker (a must!) and prismacolor.

Aiba-chan<3

Did quick drawing of aiba-chan. i actually time it, just for my record. This is 33 min sketch. It's been awhile to draw with charcoal. I hesitated in the beginning, i think that slow me down. Charcoal is so soft and so easy to work with, next time i should go more crazy and work faster.  I had fun! ^__^

dj ozma --- cool & soul

Am i the only one who just found about this (since it's kind of old. Last year song ).�

DJ Ozma song Lie-Lie-Lie at minutes 1.30 sound soooo muuuucchhh like Cool & Soul if not the same!�

I never watch naruto movie, and was kind of bored today so i decided to watch it and this dj ozma song was the ending song. I was listening to it and suddenly something very very familiar. Cool Soul intro!�O-O

the single was released in 2007 so it was after ARASHIC album. DJ Ozma パクった?�

Anyway here the clip from youtube, the overall song it's totally different from arashi song. And me personally not liking too much but, if u interested listen to "cool & soul" part minutes 1.30s. Credit to Uploader.�

yume

One of my fave nino solo, yume from HIG concert. Always bring tears to my eyes.. soo touching, and the way he sing it, soo.. i can't describe, like from bottom of his heart.. �

I'm sure everybody heard the original song by Shibata Jun, anyway,�I found this radio rip from Oguri Shun AllNightNippon with Shibata Jun.�

Shun Talk about how he and narimiya went to HIG concert (it was during "stand up") and saw Nino cried singing the song, and wonder if something happened to him. They air Shibata's yume. It's so beautiful...

Year 2008: Arashi madness >U<

I was going through mags with arashi in it, and ended up looking through stuff that I got this year. Man, They released so many stuff!! and I'm not even a person who keep tract and buy all the monthly mags or con goods! 

Our boy have been soo busy ne~, which kept us busy too, spending all our money.. ><

Kakushitoride, HanadanF release, 3 singles with 4th coming (thanks to the dramas and olympic), an album with Dream A-live 5 dome tours continue to kokuritsu then to AAA tour.. Then there was also 24 jikan tv. It's Arashi madness, and yet it felt like it's never enough. Just want more and more Arashi ne~.

Not long after buying the TIME dvd, i ended up buying AAA and AAA+ in dome dvd. I have the copies that i downloaded when it was released but I felt like I NEED my own copies. I sure a lot of people felt like they want to own other arashi dvds after getting TIME dvd. Just looking at oricon chart for dvd since Time dvd release and with their concert this year, Arashi's dvd sold so well ne~. I remember there was a week where 4 arashi dvds are top20.

I'm so proud of them! 

My best 3 items of arashi this year (aside from CDs) would be Time DVD, the calendar, and Arashi is Alive! Great idea to release photobook with CD. loveee re(mark)able! 

My dream would be to go to their concert. It's so hard for us living outside asia to go to their concert~

I go to Japan every other year but so hard to get the ticket! Hopefully next year, especially with their 10th year anniversary. 

There're still concerts for korea and china left. For all lucky fans, have fun ne~! 

Looking forward to hear con news. ^^
