About Ohno's scandal:
I really can't find any humor in the situation. He's in the middle of filming his first drama, Arashi is involved with the Olympics and their new singles/photobook/PV, Matsujun is supposed to be in Malaysia for a music awards show this week (I think), Sho is one of the main newscasters for NTV's Olympics coverage next month, the telethon is next month, then after that is their National Arena concerts and after that their second Asia tour, including their first appearance in China. IF, if the allegations of drug use have any weight any or all of these plans will fall down. This will be much worse than what happened to News. Japanese drug laws make ours look like a slap on the wrist with a wet noodle. So no, I am not filled with lulz over Leader playing grabass with some girls in 2005, that isn't the issue. Shit, to me that would be a PERK of the job!
I'm just sort of annoyed at the situation and it isn't funny to me to see someone's career and lifework dangled over the toilet like this, OK?
I left work late this morning and missed the first 10 minutes of the episode. I got online just before the theme song started.
TOMA WAS AWESOME. I can't wait for everyone to see the episode because Toma owns this one, not Leader. I feel like the wheels are going to come off Naruse's plan soon though. Ahhhh I want to see it again before bedtime! D:
I just posted my Ohno flailing to LJ so here's a link.
Shonentai retiring from "Playzone".
I wonder who will take over for them? Koichi-kun will continue to do SHOCK, I am guessing. Whoever does it I hope that Leader is considered for a role. :D
I've already read some fan reports of the premiere tonight and I am so happy for everyone who was able to go!
I started watching Yasashii Jikan again tonight. Nino was so fantastic in this. I want Nino to do another drama again really soon!
CD Japan is getting better at this sending stuff to me thing... I just got my TIME DVD on release day!
Yes. Well. I am glad that I am an Arashi fan and even with all the bad and stupid things that have happened recently I can still say that this is one of the more fun and sane fandoms that I have ever been in. The only thing I could change would be for an international Fan Club and a tour. I can't change the fact that some fantards are going to make things unpleasant for everyone else because that happens everywhere. Meh.
Off to watch my DVD! I'm glad you are all here too!
I just posted this to LJ but, Matsumoto Jun is scheduled to appear at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Hidden Fortress". I am guessing it will be held at USC because that is where George Lucas attended film school and he did borrow some elements of the original storyline for his little Star Wars project. :) Anthony Daniels (C3PO) will also appear as a representative of Star Wars, I'm sure.
This is so exciting! Only a month away!
Happy Birthday Aiba-chan!
I was watching some of Sho's live TV TBS show and Sho's hair was a lot less fluffy... perhaps because he was standing outside in the windy weather. In between the bits where the two female hosts were making poor Sho stuff cake and nikuman in his mouth on camera they showed some previews of tomorrow's sports show (Matsujun in a wetsuit, Riida chasing tennis balls while wearing a helmet camera, and Nino [with some girl idk] meeting the Brazilian soccer guy in Spain while wearing a digital text display on his hat ahahahaha *GOAL*)
I'm glad that Arashi is so well-loved by so many people, and not just teenaged fangirls. They're more than just eye-candy, at least to me.
So it is Ohno month on LJ/Vox. I think I like Ohno because he acts spaced-out at times, and at others he is seriously focused- he has an artist's disposition, don't you think? I am not an artist, nor am I particularly creative so I can only give my support and thanks to everyone who is creating all the lovely fanarts. I wish he would do another drama or solo concert!
Thank you 嵐 Vox fandom for not being like Livejournal. It just seems more laid back here, right? There are a few people that post here I would like to add to my neighborhood, maybe I will today. :)
Yes, Toma was awesome in this one, the flashback scene at the end *_* read more
