The (late) May Entry
Firstly, here's a shameless plug--for all North American Arashi fans...final day for sign-up is today! Don't miss it!
Yay!! ^^v
****
Finally got around to posting the May entry. This is going to be quite lengthy. I don't think I've updated in a quite a while. ><
There's a couple hours left of May so I'll post right now how my May banner has been for the past month.
My May ringtone has been Kitto Daijobou. Actually, the intro rap to Kitto Daijobou, so you can only hear Sho in the ringtone. But I love the intro! So I'll have that until the end of the month.

I know I'm behind with all the fangirling about this...but...I got my Arashi Around Asia DVD last Saturday after I got home from my morning dentist appointment. It's a fun watch, though I wish it had English subs. Since it's "international" I'm surprised it didn't have more languages attached to it like Chinese or Korean or Thai. In my opinion, English is good to throw in there since it's used widely (yes I am biased since I use English on a daily basis, so I'll take the heat for that ><).
Anyway, I watched the DVDs through already, but once I give it another go, I'll do a review after my second viewing.

I also bought Letters From Iwo Jima DVD the other day. I recommend it even to non-Arashi / non-Nino fans (as I've said before). It is a very poignant movie that definitely earned all the accolades it had in various reviews like the one in the New York Times (the name of the writer escapes me at the moment, but he could only say good things about it). It's disappointing it wasn't as hyped up as Flags of Our Fathers. It's definitely a must-see. For me as cliche as this sounds, the movie isn't just a story about a war of two countries, but a struggle of the individual and his homeland.

Speaking of movies...I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean : At World's End last Friday with my little cousins (I really shouldn't say little because the other kid is about taller than me already ><). I actually liked the movie. I was a little rusty on the details from the second installment, but otherwise, it's pretty good. ^^

Arashi fans have been laughing out loud at the latest Shukudai-kun. Saw it yesterday and yes, Jun's facial expressions are priceless in that episode haha. I think Jun has loosened up tremendously as he's grown older. I'm disappointed that Nino didn't try any of the food. Would have loved to see his reaction hehe.
Something not too funny, but definitely interesting. Look at this bracelet here:
He got that from a Native American turquoise jewelry-maker. I dunno if you guys have watched that special when Sho went to Las Vegas, NV, but here's pictures. He semi-made it hehe.
It's been around two years since he got it. That's nice of him to still be wearing it. ^^

About Pirates...If you get the chance to watch the 2nd one, I recommend it. But I think the movie is pretty good. I hope you guys have a good time. :D
Shukudai-kun at the beginning was actually pretty good. Their reactions with the spicy food is really funny. However, like what Arashi.vox said in her entry, I hoped they interacted a lot more with Ann Suzuki like they did with their other guests. She is quite an established actress so maybe people were expecting a lot more than what they did.
Hmm..Maybe they should have Inoue Mao next time. Most unlikely, but who knows? Hehe. ><
ah... thanks for pic.. no wonder the bracelet looks familiar.. it seems he had been wearing that for mago mago or sth... but i just didnt expect he made it two years ago... ( time goes fast... )
I never really noticed him wear it anywhere else until now! Just coz of that close up shot hehe.
Yeah, time does go by fast. *Sigh* Nice of him to still have it, ne?
Drop by again next time! ^^v
