Happy Birthday!!


Just wanted to say it to those who's birthday is in November. Sorry this is such an unnecessary post t most but its always nice t celebrate people birthdays right? Like my brother, Maruyama Ryuhei from Kan jani, Chinen Yuri from Hey! Say! JUMP etc, and Ohno Satoshi from Arashi. I thought it would take waaaay too long to make separate posts for each one of them so here's a gigantic post. Ohno is 31 now which i really can't believe. Anyways, Arashi sold a new single on November 3 called Meikyu Love Song and i liked the music video so here's the link.

I'm in Japan!


This is my second day since I got here. It's raininig today. It's rainy season so, I kind of saw this coming. But u know what's crazy? It's quite hot. You need a fan to to prevent complaonongI still can't sleep well though. Today I woke up at 4:59. Basically 5. Last night, I went sleep early so I feel really weird. I mean I slept a little after seven. I feel like I'm in second gade or something. I aso cut my hair. it used to be long enough to touch my shoulders and more but now it barely touches y shoulders. I love it! I kind of look like whne I was five thugh.... But it's still nice. Plus i straightend it so the curls that were really bothering me are gone.


Today, we're going to the mall. This one's huge! It has two game centers, LOTS of reasturants, places to buy snacks like Baskin robinsm, a book store, and lots more. Though I don't think I can buy any manga. I already bought Kobato #4, choclate #1&2, Nakayoshi, and Myojo. Nakayoshi is siilar to magazine but it has different manga by chapters. One chapter per book and one book per month. Myojo is an awesome magazine that has almost all the people that work for Johnney's entertainmrnt in it. That's the company that NEWS and arashi work for if you did'nt know. Ihavn't rread it yet but I want to today. I really enjoying the televison. Today, I have to watch arashi ni shiyagare. It'a arashi's new show. I like it since they have no clue what they're going to do that day. they just have thier mouths wide open whne they see who the guest is. I' ll be updating yu all about all the things I do so I have something to do.

The F4


Have you people heard of Hana Yori Dango before? Well, it's this awesome manga. For those of you who don't know what that is, I'll give you a short summary of what it's about.

Hana Yori Dango is about a girl named Makino Tsukushi who goes to a rich private school called Eitoku gakuen. This school is practically controlled by these boys who call themselves the F4. The F4 consists of Hanazawa Rui, the so called mysterious one, Mimasaka Akira, the member of the F4 that only dates women who are at the least ten years older than him, Nishikido Soujiro, a play-boy and a womenizer, and lastly Domyouji Tsukasa, the leader of the group that is the son of a huge company known throughout the world. They're parents all own huge companies or cooperation and they pay the school money so they can do whatever they want! Even the teachers can't say anything! Anyway, the plot of the story is that Domyouji falls in love with Makino and Makino falls in love with Domyouji. At the end, they get married wich is a really nice ending compared to what they did to each other in the beginning.

The reason I was blogging about Hana Yori Dango is because I recently noticed that my life is so much like it. First of all these group of boys are so much like the F4. First for the people you probably know if you read my blog as well as chicken's servants blog. I thought that Young hoon would be Domyouji and Hohoemi-kun would be Nishikido Soujiro. The reason for that is because Young hoon is the type that hits people and Hohoemi is Japanese and expects every girl he likes to like him back. Then, for some people you've never heard of. I'm going to call them Berry and Demetre. ( sorry for the random name for those of you who know them) berry is more like Hanazawa Rui and Demetre is Mimasaka Akira. I think Mimasaka akira is perfect for him sice he seems nice at first but turns out he is as annoying as the rest of them. Well, for Berry, I don't know. I mean he can play the piano which is similar to Hanazawa rui except he plays the violin. Plus they both seem like the nicest one in the group of little brats but basically, he was just left over. Plus, it's not only them. It's also Diana. She seems so similar to this girl named Sakurako. she's Makino's friend at first but turns out she's just some crazy lunatic that just adores and hates the F4. Especially Domyouji. She evn has a scrap book with pics of them since they were in preschool! I don't think that Diana does since all of them weren't exactly friends in the previous years.

So here's a short scenario to prove my point.
Lets just say that I'm the main character. In the beginning Makino or myself falls head over heels over Hanazwa Rui or Berry, which I did. Then Sakurako aka Diana suddenly does some horrible things that you would know about if you read my older post, which all happened to me. Though I never changed who I liked over the year but it basically has the same story line. Don't you think?

嵐 Arashi

Well, here I go again with my random ramblings because I'm bored. Well, this time it's about Arashi(嵐) They're a band that works for the same company as NEWS but they debuted before them. By a lot actually because they debuted in 1999 and NEWS was n 2003.
Anyway, the band consists of Ohno Staoshi, Aiba Masaki, Sakurai Sho, Ninomiya Kazunari, and Matsumoto Jun. Their first single was called A-RA-SH-I and their following single was Sunrise Nippon/Horizon. Their sales started to decline in the years of 2002 - 2005. Then their sales increased like crazy by 2007. That's all thanks to Hana Yori Dango. (Thank you Hana Yori Dango!) They sang the theme songs for the drama ,which Matsumoto was starring in, called Wish, Love so sweet, and for the movie One Love. Around this time,which i think is funny, Nino started to loose his confidence. so, he wanted to go to Hollywood to become a professional actor. By the way, he didn't succeed but he starred in a Hollywood movie so close enough. Anyway, they started lots of show such as VS arashi, Himitsu no Arashichan, and my favorite Arashi ni Shiyagare. The reason why I like it is because they aren't told anything about who's going to come on the show so they're always so clueless. It makes me laugh when they see the guest and they have they're mouths wide open. They hosted the yearly 24 hour television twice and got ten Japanese golden disc awards; practically Japanese Grammy awards. The thing that caught my eye about them during the summer was they rented Tokyo Disney Sea for one night just for one concert! When I first heard about it, I thought they were the craziest people ever because they were giving out the tickets by selling curry. Something like the golden ticket in Charlie and the chocolate factory. My mom added that arashi fans would have to eat curry for months. lol
Anyway, they are at thier peak right know and are really known. They were even used for the commercial of the New Super Mario Bros. (since they always have someone playing it as a demonstration. when Nino played, since he is a game otaku, he looked like he was having the most fun.
Anyway, I'm going to do the same thing as I did with NEWS and put lyrics to a song they sing. But it's a little too long so it's going to be a whole different post.

NEWS


I don't know what to blog about so I just decided to write about certain Japanese boy bands. It's really random but I'm going to start with NEWS.
There are six members in NEWS.
Nishikido Ryo, Koyama Keiichiro, Yamashita Tomohisa, Masuda Takahisa, Kato Shigeaki, and Tegoshi Yuya. There also used to be three others but when they sang NEWS Nippon for the world cup volley ball tournament, two of the three were caught messing around were they served alcohol thus drinking and getting drunk. Obviously, they were too young and were down graded to trainees.The other one just chose to quit I don't know exactly which one of them but one of them signed up for the agency again and know is part of kan jani ∞. (this is an eight. ∞=this)

Any way, they debuted formed in 2003 and sang NEWS Nippon (their first single) for volleyball. They also sang Sayaendō for a ONE PIECE movie. after that, they went on hiatus and came back in December 2006. They also sing one of my favorite songs sakura girl. I have a link to You tube so u can see the music video at the end. I just am osessed with this song so I'm just going to put the lyrics to it. My favorite part is the first verse. It's kind of sad because the song is about breaking up. In the music video, one of them gets slapped by a girl. lol

first in romaji:

Then in English:
Cherry blossom
You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)
Cherry blossom

It was a sudden encounter with the two of us in the classroom
We just said such random lines of dialog
But for me, I will never forget any of it
I will remember it my whole life
It's beautiful because it can fall like a petal
I didn't know that so I guess there was nothing I could do

You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)
Cherry blossom

I couldn't find words to respond to your "goodbye"
It's still something I can't accept
But I can't see you in front of me any longer
Even the empty shell of me has been smashed to pieces
“It's beautiful because it is short-lived”
I don't want to hear things like that since now everything seems gray

You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)
Cherry blossom

You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)

La la love, cherry blossom La la love, cherry blossom
