My Luck

sucks.

I didn't hit for Arashi this year.... *cries*

My Recent Vice...

[kya!!] Gantz  

First off, thanks to all the lovely friends who are cheering me on. Yall make me feel so special *squeezes cheeks of all the cute LJers out there*

I finally finished the Gantz anime two days ago... and I didn't get the ending... at all... hahaha.  So I guess I have to watch the last episode again and try to imagine it.

I am on book 13 of the manga... so I am almost caught up... but I have been consumed with other pressing issues...

I saw the preview on that one late night REALLY low budget show... for the movie.... and if a girl ever said she doesnt get turned on seeing a guy punch another guy in the face.... they have yet to see Kurono Kei do it... cuz it was HAAAAAWT!!!!!!  *getting all hot and bothered just thinking about it*

From the looks of it, the first movie is going to have the negi alien, tanaka alien, and the short-tempered aliens in it...

I am putting in my app for Arashi tour today... want to get it out of the way so I stop stressing about it.

The probability of me hitting is SLIM!  But I am doing it anyways...

sacrificing 500-1200yen on a maybe...


like always...


*prays to the JE gods and buys 5 omamori*

My Latest Ichiban...

omg
i just got out of 君と見る千の夢 and it was a tearjerker

But before I talk about that... let's talk about getting チラシ (flier) from Johnnys Family Club.  Getting them is REDICULOUS!  Seriously. REDICULOUS!!! 
During Golden Week, I arrived at JFC ten minutes after it was opened... there were girls walking up the stairs with the chonmage nino and Aiba-chan's kimiyume fliers in their hand.... so I thought I was fine... but they were ALL GONE!!!! *cries*
This time, I wasn't going to let that happen again cuz I was really depressed for the rest of the day.  So I went to Shibuya at 10:20am yesterday, and was determined to be standing out side of JFC door before it opened.  I got there, and there was already one girl who was crazier than me there leaning against the glass doors. ayamixr (who took most of the lovely pix u see here because I forgot my camera in gunma) decided to keep me company all day, before heading to KimiYume together, so she came a bit after I did, and we prepared ourselves.  They opened the doors a few minutes after 11 *wanted to kill the worker who couldn't figure out how to get the key out of the door* and they let us in.  I headed straight for the back of the room to the fliers, and there was NO Aiba-chan or chonmage Nino!!!  *prepares to scream*  but there was the KimiYume flier that had only the words on some shiny high quality paper.  So I am kinda disgusted, and grab two of them even though it says to take one in Japanese... and turn around to see the girl who was standing in front of me not even go to the flier area of the FC... hmm..... Then I see the worker open up one of the cabinets and out comes chonmage and pretty Aiba-chan.  I hop over the ropes, which causes a stir, and before I know it, everyone is lined up behind us again. hahaha.  I got the fliers!!!!  *cries tears of joy*

Unfortunately, they are nazis when it comes to those, so they were literally only giving out 15.  Those who didn't get one, would have to try another day.  So stupid!!!!!  Dear JE, print more fliers! 

We also got to see the new Ohoku poster with Neener's message on it! ♡

Ok, now on to the report about Aiba-chan's butai...

This was my first time to Tokyo Globe 座 and I LOVE THIS VENUE
The goods line was EXTREMELY short. But we were only allowed to buy two memo pads each. *boo on JE*

The pamphlet has a lot of pretty Aiba-chan pix... haven't read it actually dont read any of my pamphlets yet but I probably should get around to doing that sometime....  The notepad has two different types of paper.... both the pamphlet and the cover of the notepad are iridescent! soooo pretty!!!!

The venue was so tiny and so intimate. They performed without mics
We were seated in the first row on the left side of the stage and were at the best spot for about a quarter of the play when Haruya's spirit (Aiba-chan) was monologueing above the main stage on a small platform.

Aiba-chan seems to be suffering from a mean case of 花粉症 (seasonal allergies) right now... and YES I was staring at his hanabatas the Hawaii way to say boogers *hides from the stones*  for most of the show.
He was wearing pretty "normal" clothes through out the play. He started out in a pair of Khaki slacks, a white knitt sweater and a darker khaki jacket with a black plaid or lightly striped hood on it.Then he took the jacket off. You could see a deep purple 3/4 gray-trimmed V-neck shirt under. He also wore a blue and white plaid button up opened over a white tanktop with some khaki cargo pants. Then a white button-down shirt with small maroonish flowers or anchors on it (sorry, my eyes were dry today so I couldnt see too well). He then went back to the sweater at the end of the flashback scenes. Whenever he was at home, he wore a navy apron around his waist.
His hair was flat and parted in the middle and it was short in the back.

This play ended my six week con spree...

Can't believe its all over

Luckily I still have TegoMasu in June

My First YOU-chan Solo Con

Today was 横山YOUがヤっちゃいます〜2010春.
It was sooooo much fun!!! Yoko is the DO-est S I have ever seen. hahaha.

I went to get goods at around 9am, and if I had gone a few minutes later, I would've been there for hours.  I gots good timing.  I got off the train, ran down the stairs, and was greeted by my other JE loves...

*cheers* for MJxNino on Mario Kart!

Getting through the line took FOREVER because they only had 4 lines for the two sections they broke the goods up into.  It was kinda annoying.  Especially since when the venue opened, they doubled up on the sales booth size.

The goods are SO CUTE!  I actually had to force myself to only get the pamphlet, bag, and strap.  Even though I wanted the T-shirt and the bank...  I bought them for a friend and got to live vicariously through her...

Apparently this display wasn't in Osaka.  It was just like Uchi-kun's Yoyogi con one, where the background of the words changed colors... i took one with pink, green, and yellow... but this one came out the best.

While we were waiting in our seats for the con to start, they were playing the Family Club videos from the Jrs... including Uchi-kun!!!!  It was cute to see him advertising the caramel macchiato at Theater Kurie.

The con started at 2:33pm, and we had 6th row tickets.  This seemed to be pretty good seats just by looking at the ticket... but upon arriving to the actual seat, we realized that we were actually REALLY GOOD, 2nd row on the side stage because we were seated at the end of the row, and the rows were tapered... so we had the four seats at the end of the 2nd row near the side stage area... which means we were well noticed, but I'll get to that later.

My uchiwa today read, "I ♥ YOU" today.

All four of us are foreigners, and three out of the four of us are blessed to have BIG versions of Yoko's favorite thing... OPPAI!!! hahaha.  So we decided to wear things that showed them to him... and within the first song, we managed to catch his attention.  hahaha.  This may also have been due to the fact that we were wearing tiger helmet/hats.... but he definitely made eye contact with my twins, after making eye contact with my eyes, of course. 

He came out wearing a cute plaid suit tsunagi (shorts jumpsuit) and sang WONDER BOY.  It was good stuff.  His songs are so much fun.  After that, he sang Ame-chan... then a song that Yasu wrote the music for called, cHocoレート.  It was a pretty sad song. The lyrics go:
僕のポケットのチョコレートは
boku no poketto no chokore-to wa
The chocolate in my pocket
恋と一緒に溶けていったよ
koi to issho ni toketeitta yo
has melted just like our love has
空を見上げたら　空笑ってた
sora wo miagetara sora waratteta
if i look up to the sky, it's smiling at me

アス ファルトを見てみたら
asufaruto wo mitemitara
if I look down at the asphalt
Ah あれっ？
Ah are?
Ah, huh?
影が一つしかないんだ

there's only one shadow there

During WONDER BOY, he came past us, and we screamed at him... so he of course made eye contact with us and our oppai. hahaha.  I think he got nervous, cuz when he walked past us every other time after that, he just kinda darted his eyes at us fast, but didnt make actual eye contact like he did the first time.

At the greeting, he told us that he was really nervous being in Tokyo and that the venue was pretty huge... his manager told him that there were a lot of important people coming, so he might wanna think about laying off the dirty jokes... which made everyone boo.

He did a cute mirror kind of dance segment... and that lead to kicyu... which used the three "mirrors" with Shota in the background.  It was pretty awesome.

For the black ranger skit... 
He said Yellow is "Chonmage Purin"?  I want to do Mohawk Yogurt!
Green is "Ohku"?  He's with Tamaki Hiroshi-san and HoMaki-chan (horikita maki), right?  He got "mad" when we cheered for Tama-chan.  He said that he wasn't him, and that Tama-chan wouldn't wear this (black ranger) kind of outfit.  He then told us that Horikita Maki was cute and that he wanted to meet her.  And then he was like, "You all are cute, too.  Oh, sorry, I was just kidding!" what a butthole
Blue is constantly at the beach getting black... I want to get a tan!  But I always get red and then it hurts... it sucks!
Orange is being treated affectionately by some highly ranked figure (? or old lady)... in 10 years there will be tranquility.
Red, I will say it over and over again... he has too many main vocals...   I am being serious!  This isn't a joke like the other parts... I am serious.  I want to sing, too. I only sing 2nd part of A or B versus... on Music TV shows, I get cut... So i sing the chorus with all my might! 
Nasu does too many jobs!  I wanna see his savings!

He was so funny the whole time.  Every time we cheered for another member, or an actor that he mentioned, he would be like, "I don't know why you are cheering for them.  They are not me!  It kinda makes me mad to hear you cheer.  But it's ok.  I'm a strong boy." hahahaha.

The actual Ranger skit started and Black was shot back in time to a river with a giant peach... MOMOTARO!!!  He complained that the peach looked a bit rotten, but opened it to see if Momotaro was in it... but he wasn't.  Then the obaachan was headed that way, so he was like, "Oh no!  If Momotaro wasn't in it, the story won't happen!" So Black climbed in and the Obaachan brought it home.  There were lots of butt (mom) jokes and boob (kibi dango on a stick) jokes throughout the play.  There were also "pink" sexy moments between the baachan and jiichan and the monkeys. haha.  nasty version of Momotaro.
Next up was Maru-chan.  He said Yoko would be singing, "Wanshan Ronpin"... "ubaran" means "wakaran" (i dont know.) and "okkomokocho~" means "Sa, kaerou!" (Let's go home!)  Yoko comes out in Wanshan Ronopin but doenst sing.. just dances around and then says, "okkomokocho~" and runs off stage.

During the MC, Yoko teased us that there were guest... and then he was like, just kidding!  and we were like, "EHHHH~?" ahe he goes, ""Saying  'eh!?' is a bit strange don't you think?  This is 'YOKOYAMA YOU GA YACCHAIMASU'!" but then some girls started screaming and when we looked back, we saw Hina, Ryo, and Subaru running across the center aisle out the door!!!!  So Yoko couldn't lie about it anymore!!!  EITO was there!!!  They all came out holding each other's shoulders like a choo choo train... and we all went NUTS!!!  They stood: Yoko, Maru (wearing jeans and a grey and white stripped polo shirt), Tacchon (wearing a beanie hat and a logo sweater), Subaru (wearing a jeans jacket), Ryo (wearing a leather jacket, hat, and his dorky glasses), Yasu (wearing a teal outfit with a panda face on his shirt), Hina (wearing a green beanie and a red t-shirt).  Yoko talked about how they all wished him luck before the con started... and when he shook Maru's hand... Maru was like, "Gomen.  I just went to the bathroom and I didnt wash my hand."  Yoko said he was embarrassed during cHocolate because Yassu told him to do this cute pose putting the 'OK' sign on his cheek... and the guys said while we were all yelling, "KYA!!!" the 6 of them were cracking up. hahahahah. Poor Yoko.  Then Yoko said since they all came, he was collecting 2000yen from each of them. hahahah.  And Hina was like, "THAT much!?" sooo mean!  Yoko mentioned that the haven't been able to talk like this since the Countdown concert... and Okura told him to call sometime. hahaa.  Yoko then talked bout how Yasu, Okura, and Hina have been golfing... Maru has been playing Puyopuyo, and he challenged all of us, any time, any where... Subaru hasn't been doing anything... Dokkun isn't busy at all cuz he finished his movie... so Yoko let him plug the movie crap! i forgot to buy my presale ticket!!!    Okura is doing Ohku... Yoko asked about how Tamaki Hiroshi was, and Okura responded that his voice was really deep... hahahha... what kind of impression is that!?  He hasn't started filming yet... They talked about the Kanjani EITO savings, which excludes Hina, that Yoko has... in an envelope pinned to his wall... Then they segue into introducing that the solo set is coming up... and exit the stage.  He said that when they got back to their seats, to just peer over our shoulders, but to keep focusing on him... and of course, when they came back, we all stared and he was like, "LOOK AT ME!"  "KEEP YOUR PROMISES!!

!" hahahahahahaha.  Sorry, Yokocho! m(_ _)m

First was Mamoritai.  Tacchon wrote "Mamoritai" on the screen at the end of his VTR... after Yoko sang, he wrote something in the air, and it translated to Hangul (Korean) when it spun around. hahahaha. 
Then Yasu came on and said that Yoko was doing "Watashi Kagami" again... and teased him about the way he sings and stuff, and the fact that he didnt play the guitar when he sang the song... and that he was worried if he could actually do it or not... and then Yoko appears, and picks up a guitar on stage!!!!  OOOOHHHH!!!!!  Then he pretends to start strumming, but just puts his hand on the guitar... He imitates Yasu... then proceeds to do an AWFUL impression of Yasu. hahahahaha.  it was awesome and didnt last long... like two lines.
Subaru was funny.  He kept using "yacchaimasu" in his VTR... rambling about Yoko and how he was a "GAP-er"... Yoko did Subaru's "SAYONARA" which is a song Subaru did during his Jr. days... with Johnnys USA, black guys, and that this time, the "white" guy would be singing it... hahahaha.
Maru told us that Yoko would be doing "Wanshan Ronpin" and that "ubaran" means "wakaran" (I dont know) and "okkomokkocho~" means "sa, kaerou!" (let's go home!)... so the opening VTR starts with Maru's character... and Yoko comes out and dances a bit... then screams, "okkomokkocho~!  Maru, is that good enough?" hahahaha. 
Hina is next... his VTR was so long... Hina's a rambler... so they fast forwared through 2 minutes... then he talks about how he is the first babun man, and Yoko is 2nd.. and then they fast forward through 3 minutes of his talk. hahahaha.  He told us to scream out "YOU-chan"  during the song... and he said he wanted to come to a con at some point and do it too... so we were hoping for a duet... but, alas, it was only  Yoko that came out in the Babun outfit.  Man, those boots are awsome.
Ryo was the final one... he looked sleepy...  at the end of his VTR he said, "以上、錦戸亮ですか。" (thats all, am I Nishikido Ryo?)  hahaha.  got embarrassed, and giggled... and everyone looked back at Ryo. hahahaha.  I wonder what his reaction was with all the girls staring at him. hahaha.  Yoko did "ai igai no nandemonai" with Ryo's concert footage in the background.  Ahhh... pelvic thrusts... ♥

There was a VTR of Kimiko... and we met his Ototo.... who looks NOTHING like Yokocho... It was funny seeing Kimiko with Ototo.

The latter half of the con was Eito songs... so much fun!!!!

He thanks us... and thanks Eito for coming as well.  The guys yell out that they love him haha.  And Yoko says that he loves that they're a bunch of Aho. hahaha.  He mentioned that they want to do another live, but he asked us to wait a bit more... I wonder what's going to happen...

And the last song of the set was ONIGISHI.  He started to cry towards the end of the song.  So everyone started crying! 

For the encore, EITO came out!  They were like, "Yacchaimashita!" (you did it!) and then he said that for the last song, "Hitotsu ni narimasu ka?" (Shall we all become one?)  And then they started singing Hitotsu no Uta. 

I was screaming for Tacchon, cuz he was the closest to us during the song, and he looked at me and i waved my Hawaii sign at him, and eh nodded his head and smiled at me... I melted... And then later, when Tacchon was introducing the Jrs.... Tacchon and Ryo were on our side, so we were screaming at the two of them, and Ryo goes, "Hello!" and we were like, "HIIIIII!!!!!"  And he goes, "Hi!  Wassup?" hahahaha.  I think these are the only english phrase he has confidence saying.  So we were like, "COME HERE!!!"  And he goes, "NO~."  What a tease!
Tacchon was bowing at us while Ryo was "talking" to us.  hahahaha.  Yoko introduced Eito... Okura, Dokkun, Subaru, Babun Man, Yasuda Shota, Maru-chan (he screamed "paaaan!")  Hina then introduced YOKOYAMA YOU!!!!  They ended with the whole everyone holding hands and saying we are "saikyou no" (the strongest) *woooooo!* "saikou no" (the best) *woooooo!* Kanjani.... and us screaming "EITO!" 

The second encore was just Yoko and the Jrs.  We started screaming "Encore" as soon as the boys walked off of the stage.... then we changed to "Yoko"  and he came back out to do "giga maji mega fighter".  During this song, he threw out three sign boards.  One was with all the member's signatures....  The first one he threw out ended up falling somewhere near where Eito was sitting, so the worker brought it back to be thrown again.  he threw it towards the right side of the venue, but it looped all the way around and i whacked it... then the girls behind me hit it, and it fell into kikumarie 's seat... where chimericalyours  pounced on it.  The two of them Janken-ed, and chimericallyours won the janken... but since it was kikumarie 's last con in Japan *cries*, she gave it to her. *hugs chimericalyours *  After the con tons of Japanese girls were swarming around us trying to get a picture of or with the signboard.  One girl even gave us a streamer to get a picture with it. hahahaa.

Me in my tiger hat holding the Yoko board.

We also Managed to find the girl who wrestled for caught the all eito one.


I read online that Ryo was the only guest for the 2nd show... We were SOOO LUCKY!


We went to Shibuya later, and saw Arashi EVERYWHERE!


One-chan and I posted with the boys! hahahaha.

Thanks for reading!!!! hehehehe.

以上、清美ですか。（笑）

My High Expectation

So the 5x10 DVD came in today....

I thought I would be nice and rip it to share... but it doesnt work!!!!  *bangs head on keyboard*
Not sure why it doesnt work, but it doesnt...

I wasted THREE HOURS trying to do it. *punches crappy DVD cover*

There's NO BOOKLET in it.  It's a poster...  only one side... of the picture on the front top right hand corner of the case....
Kinda lame... again. *sigh*

Speaking of lame.... I didnt see boku ga boku no subete, and it was a really cute dance, so I was really looking forward to having it.... and theres no backstage footage.... and no Nino belly during the MC...

The positive is that there is footage of My Girl with Aiba messing up and Jun saving him. ahahahaha.... SOOOO FUNNY!  I was laughing so hard at the con!

Hmm... other positives? 
The actual concert IS good....  you see them giving A LOT of fan service including oh-chan waving at me (although u cant see me) during One Love
The night of our con, the timing of the fireworks from the baseball game went well with the con timing... apparently the night before it was at a strange time, and then the next night, it was POURING...
I liked the 30th digest cuz its fun to see them having fun in the rain... with the mic problems... Momo's bday cake and present...
I also liked that they showed the dome version of attack it! because you sorta get to see the dance..... and I think Jun's part is missing from the kokuritsu version

My Paper Art

With AnS over *cries*, and this being the first Monday night without it, I decided to do some art yesterday and today.

First, the AnS set (although I am not finished with it)

And second, the new 土曜の嵐 logo for my planner!!!

My Spring Concert Season

Sakura trees are turning pink... the blue skies have come back.... and.... it's STILL snowing here in Gunma!?!?!??!?!

*sigh*

Either way, concert season is in full swing once April starts. 

So I decided to apply to a bunch of stuff, because you don't usually hit for more than 1... but by some miracle, and the help of some friends.... I am going to 7 concerts from April 10th to June 19th!!!!!  I am suuuuper excited for all that is coming...

I will be going to Tokyo EVERY weekend from now till May 8th.

I seriously dont know how I am going to afford this!!!!

Oh... aaaaaaaand........

Dear ARASHI,
  Please DO NOT announce concerts in the next month.
Thanks.

            Love,
        Kiyomi

Kyaaaa!!!

I swear Aiba-kun may be setealing the top spot in the ARASHI section of my heart....

last night he was just tooo funny and cute!
