Kim Hyun-joong to make film debut

Actors Su-ae and Kim, Hyun-joong, from left, picked as lead roles of an upcoming movie.
[Asia Economic Daily]

Kim Hyun-joong, leader of Korean boy band SS501, will soon make his big screen debut, according to a source on Monday.

An associate of the film said Kim has been picked to lead the cast of film "You're My Pet" opposite top actress Su-ae in the film directed by Kim Byung-gon.

The movie is based on Japanese TV series "Trams Like Us" broadcast on TBS in 2003, which itself was based on an original comic series by Yayoi Ogawa.

The movie is about unexpected love between a successful, smart and good-looking fashion magazine editor and a handsome guy who is adopted as a pet to the successful woman.

"We haven't completely finished working on the contract but we'll be done by the end of this week," said a representative from Kim's agency DSP Media.

As a member of the popular five-member K-pop band, Kim Hyun-joong also debuted as an actor early this year through hit KBS TV series "Boys Over Flowers".

the hurdle is quite high uri hyunie...matsujun is a tough act to follow in this drama as far as i'm concerned. i hope you can do justice to his "momo charm"!!!

i wonder if they'll gonna put him in a box too??? he's quite too big to fit in momo's box. ^_^

can't wait to see this one...good luck hyun joong. aja, aja...fighting!!! (missed saying this line...haha!)

i'm just finding the song HAPPILY NEVER AFTER soooo nice!!

found out nicole/pussycat dolls has a version & BSB has their own version too. call me biased but i loooove BSB's cover. i can so feel the song & can totally picture the scenario in my mind whenever i hear it.

oh, and i soooo love nick's parts (another case of biased-ness)!!!!

since this is my current LSS let me share it to you guys...

just a few simple reasons why i love these fab five:

1. they're simply adorkable

2. there's a lot of member love (or should i say ohmiya rabu?)

3. sometimes they're cool

4. but sometimes just plain..."baka" XD

5. they know how to parteh!!!

6. they're a bunch of BIG kids

7. did i say they're extra talented? XD

8. they sure know how to make themselves look stupid

9. arashi + kids = love <3

10. they make the most hilarious faces/expressions i've seen so far XD

11. but they can also be really cute

credit gifs to spazzcrack@lj

honestly i had so much laugh browsing the gifs. although i have seen most of the clips before already, it was really funny repeating some scenes over & over & in slow motion. it was pretty amusing too that i never noticed some of the "happenings" in the scenes when i watched it..XD
 

yoshii!!! it's 2008 already! well, last night as i was about to go to sleep i just felt "inspired" to write a poem. well, you can guess what the poem is all about but i guess it's pretty much obvious ne. so for my first post for 2008 here's a poem i especially made for the guys...

When the road is tough

And the skies are gray

Just to hear your voice

Can brighten my day

When I’m feeling low

And about to quit

Just to see your smile

Is a precious gift

When I’m all alone

And the world laughs at me

I just think of the rainbow

And I feel free

When I hear your songs

When I see your face

It inspires me to continue

The rest of my days

To overcome the Storm

By learning to accept it

Is one of life’s lessons

You taught me to admit

Your cheerfulness has brought

Lots of smile in our hearts

Your friendship has taught us

To never be apart

To give your best

In whatever you do

To value respect

You’ve shown that too

You may not see me

Nor even know I exist

But I just want to say

My gratitude in a gist

For this may be my only chance

To say “Hontou ni Arigatou”

To these precious persons

That I can call my hero

Got this from arashi.vox. It tells of some tips in case you wanna be an arashi gf. Well, each member gives tips on what type of girls would suit the other members best.

On how to become Sho's girlfriend...

AIBA
"To face a lifted up tension!"
If you want to have a good time with Sho chan, in any case it's important to go along with the upped mood. The thing is, Sho chan when he's out, the height of his tension is incredible~. Eh, Sho chan said my tension was high? No no, he's something too (laughs). Anyway, the accompaniment Sho chan puts in at karaoke is superb! No matter what song he adds in accompaniment which always makes you feel good, so I suggest you expand your singing repertory.

JUN
"Check the current event news!"
It's already been a year since the beginning of "News Zero." Sho kun always reads the newspaper without missing a day, and is always studying. Wouldn't the conversation be exciting if it's someone that can talk about various things just by seeing that. Even though I say this, it may be a bit hard if he suddenly starts to use political and economics jargon (bitter laugh). If you could typically get into a conversation without any blockades then wouldn't he become interested in sort of an "Oh!" kind of manner.

NINO
"Properly go over the news!"
Since despite anything Sho chan is a caster for a news program. Just as expected, it would be best to know at least that day's news. If you're able to talk about the news then there's no problems in conversation, and if you use that to start a conversation then you can expand the subject more and more. That and Sho chan has a ton of friends, it seems they all get together and have parties, so I think it's best if you're someone that gets along with everyone and are able to blend in, in such a place.

OHNO
"If possible, cook fast!"
Sho kun, whenever he has the time he reads the newspaper. So, if you typically read the newspaper couldn't you just naturally talk about a lot of things? That and one more thing, I think Sho kun is someone that really dislikes waiting. It seems he especially doesn't like waiting for food, so when we all order together he's usually the only one that says, "It's taking long~." It seems he wants to eat fairly quickly (laughs). A person that can cook fast may get high scores.

Sakurai Sho personally likes this type of girl!
"Someone that excels in something!"
Won't someone that excels in something just show up like "bam!" Before when a foreigner spoke to me, a friend I was with was able to answer in French without any problems, I was really touched by that. Like being good at golf, or I even like a girl that can cleverly ride a bike. If it's about music then someone that is detailed about house or rock, if possible I'm usually pulled towards a person that has something I don't have.

To be Ohno's girlfriend...

AIBA
"Know the points of fishing!"
With leader rather than enforcing things to no end, it's best to approach him naturally.  While he is calm normally, I think once his tension goes up Leader will bring up things first. Uh huh, I believe he'll like it if you give him pointers on fishing, so I think it'll be good if you look up pointers on fishing for when Leader talks to you first. That and Leader was originally in the badminton club, not long ago he said he really wanted to play badminton. Do you want to start off by practicing badminton?

JUN
"To bear with a silent atmosphere!"
To be completely honest, this person has a lot of mysteries to him. It's to the point that I myself would like to try him out [attack] (bitter laugh). Since typically there are a lot of times where Leader is just sitting there doing nothing, so wouldn't it go well with someone that can be with him and not think of that [silent] time as boring? When the silence can be continued together, but to think that one feels good about that atmosphere, that person gets high marks. And then to talk coincidentally about fishing which he really likes, how would that be?

NINO
"To understand the aspect of artistic activity!"
I think Leader has the most fun when he's playing with clay or drawing. In real life he spends the most time diong artistic things, wouldn't a person that can match that be best? Even though I say that, I don't think it's necessary for that person to also mold clay. Since Leader is real when he's molding clay, he like goes into a world of his own. So don't think of the time he molds clay as painful, but I think it would be best if you first come to understand the world of artistic activity.

SHO
"Positively appeal to him!"
In Ohno kun's case, when he has time he immediately goes into molding clay or drawing. So if you leave him be, there's a chance he'll forget about the other person. It's good to make positive advances whenever possible. Like, "do you want to do that" or "want to try this out?" This is for the girl to appeal positively, there's a feeling that it'll really pull him in. The only thing is, if you over do this he'll dislike it, so it's necessary one is very much aware of how much to push and pull.

Ohno Satoshi personally likes this type of girl!
"Someone that also has the same enjoyments as me!"
There's no requirement like "THIS!" but if possible I think it would be best if it was someone that wasn't so detailed about various things. Since I myself am so general (laughs). If you think about it that way, I think someone that has the same enjoyments would be best. I'll be happy if she'll date me and not dislike my idiotic actions. And if she likes fishing and likes to bbq then I think we can have an even better time.

To be Nino's girlfriend...

AIBA
"Try out games and sports!"
Honestly, Nino, he doesn't only like games but he also enjoys going out and playing too. Like playing baseball for the Johnny's team, or playing football within the Arashi team, in which he's active in and he seems to quite enjoy it. So if it's someone that's not just active like that but has an interest in games and is ever knowing, if it's a girl like that, wouldn't the chances of quickly becoming close quite high? With baseball or football I think just watching is good enough so just pick up on the rules.

JUN
"Come to like role playing games!"
Just as suspected, games are the key point. Since he likes typical role playing games it's hard to enjoy games with him, so wouldn't it be best to leave him be when he's playing games. I think he would also like a girl that's like that. That or someone that also really likes role playing so the two play role playing games in the same room but play separately, wouldn't that be OK too (laughs). After playing if you could lift the mood with a monologue about the game, you might even be able to close the gap between the two of you in one go.

OHNO
"Reject touching once in awhile!"
It's perfect to get closer to him through games. Even if you're bad, he'll properly teach you. He teaches you well, so on the flip side if you're a bit bad and learn that may be a way to get closer too. Although all he does is role playing (bitter laugh). That, and he likes skinship. But still, disliking that skinship once in awhile may be effective. If you always accept it it'll just become a normality. Since I also go about the rejecting once in awhile (laughs).

SHO
"Read a cheat book about games!"
Although he is a Ninomiya that's always playing games, I've never seen him read a cheat book. So if you're able to read a cheat book and know [how to play] in detail even more than Nino, I definitely believe you'll be respected. Try the method of, "Oh, there's a hidden item there?" or "Is there an input command~!" You'll definitely be able to shorten the gap between you two. I also suggest always having a game device that has internet access, and use the chance of playing versus him. You never know a "A love that starts after an online match may begin." (laughs)

Ninomiya Kazunari personally likes this type of girl!
"Someone that's able to talk about games."
Since the time playing games is long, I'll probably be best matched with someone that likes games. But I don't really play versus games. There's no achievement with versus games. No matter what I seem to be into role playing. So there's probably no chance of playing a game with someone (bitter laugh). But, I think it would be most enjoyable with someone that can even slightly talk about games.

To be Jun "the hime"'s girlfriend...

I found this on somebody's Vox. Gomen...I can't remember whose vox but I found it interesting & I bet a lot of Arashians would also be interested on finding out what type of girls our boys like. This is kinda old already & their preferences may have changed over the years but it's still fun reading their answers...hehe! Douzo...

Matsumoto Jun

I believe that everyone has a "love of destiny" or "heaven-sent lover"

   I've got lots of things in my room I tell you, because I like clothes; so things like T-shirts, jeans, they're everywhere piling up like hills (laugh). When I'm at home I usually watch shows on DVDs. Eh? Shows to be recommended to girls? Well... if you want "sincerely touching" this kinda feeling, KichiToka workroom's "Sound of Waves" would be suitable, somehow I feel like my soul is being washed, I like this production a lot, I think I've watched it over 4 times. When I'm at home, I barely cook, when I don't have a choice, I'll just have fried rice or just have a simple dish of greens. If a girl tells me "let me cook for you", I will answer immediately "then let me help you". Doesn't this feel better? If she made m favourite Thai-style spicy seafood soup, I will be very thankful; but it must be Thai-style spicy seafood soup without additional spices, I can't really stand those spices (laugh).

   My 'perfect girl', it's really hard to use words to describe, because it's different with everyone, every girl has their own attractions, so I might change my preferences because of a certain girl. However, I care a lot about the feeling with a certain girl around (her aura), when we're together we'll both feel great, even me myself am influenced by her to be positive, I guess it's the kind of girl who can give this feeling. Or, even the harshest comments, she'll be able to tell me honestly, I think this kind of girl is indeed close to perfect. In my opinions when you talk about "fate" or "destiny", there is a kind of unseen bound among us humans, this definitely exist on anyone, so I believe that for sure. A love of destiny, or a "heaven-sent lover" ne~

Ninomiya Kazunari

When I meet a girl worth giving respect, I'll feel "ah, she's great indeed"

   During the holidays I was playing my digital game all the time in my room, when I got the game "Hero against Mighty Dragon" which was released last year, I used up 2 days - 30 hours altogether to 'finish it off' (laugh). However, when a girl comes over, it's such a waste to stay in my room and play my digital games, I guess I'll definitely bring her out. It's fine with me wherever she want to go, I'm satisfied with just the two of us together, so I'll try my best to go along with the girl's wishes.

   The type which I like? If you talk about personalities, I think my 'perfect girl' should have a certain virtue which is worth respecting. Be it that she's kind or that she's strong-willed, or any other talents, I will think "this girl is really something" and will want to be with her for a long time, it's also the same for me regarding those of my gender. If you talk about appearances, I like girls who shows simplicity. Everytime I'd be having a sudden feeling, like when I'm in a densha, I'll always think "ah, this girl is cute", "that one's not bad too..." However this is definitely not what you call 'love at first sight' (laugh). About things that might capture my attention, I guess it's the hands; when I face a girl with wonderful hands like those which slides smoothly on the piano keyboards, I can't control myself being attracted. When I confess to the girl I like, I'll just act cool and say "let's start going out together". But at the same time that I'm saying this, I will think of scenes shown in the television which are so rottenly classical, and I myself have acted a scene like that, then it's really hard to have a feeling of reality, I'd be thinking myself "wa, it's just like I'm acting in drama" and I'd burst out laughing. About this, it's really a problem ne~ (laugh)

Aiba Masaki

The best place to date is the beach, we can go diving together and have an expedition!

   If feels great, doesn't it? (laugh) My room is very empty, because I like the feeling of having space. If a girl comes over? Hm, if she cooks for me I'd be really happy, anything will be okay, I'm not picky on food at all. When it's cold, it'll be nice to have her prepare steamboat (laugh). However, I'm basically an extravert, if we are to go dating, I'll most probably choose to exercise together, or watch a game of baseball or basketball. Ah, going to the beach isn't that bad, I love the sea! I also have a licence to drive boats! Sometimes I'd really wanna dive with a submarine into the deep sea to explore, anticipating "what's that over there?", then open the doors in the submarine and walk straight in, isn't that meaningful? There are still many things I'd like to do, because I wanna become an adult with lots of interests, so when I'm interested I'll never hesistate to take the challenge.

   Although I'm always being asked about my 'perfect girl', I never knew how to answer this question, because up till now, all the girls whom I thought "she's not bad", they don't really have anything in common... When I confess, I think I will choose the simplest words, like "I like you, so let's start going out". When I'm in the middle of a break up, I might feel depressed to a certain extend. Although people keep saying that we should cheer up after a break up and the best way to do that is to talk to others about it, but I think it's not that easy for me to move on and start another new relationship just like that. However, I will not show a depressed expression, so I think that when I'm really going through a break up, not even the members of Arashi will ever notice (laugh).

Sakurai Sho

Having the same values, interested in music; this kind of girl suits me

   What will I do during the holidays? Usually I'll be reading book or a magazine on my bed while listening to the music. Basically the time when I listen to the music is very long, so it'll be great if the girl likes music too, we can even go a concert together. But while having a relationship with a girl, the most important thing is having the same values, for example what matters most in life, or striving for a reason to live on, if we're similiar in these areas, I think we'll get along just fine. So there's a great possibility that I might start a relationship in the middle of a random chat, but I don't believe in love at first sight. Recently, I've been playing football with about 20 of my schoolmates around once a month, we usually start at 12 midnight, the game usually lasts till 3am, I'm not too sure if this is good for my health, or actually ruining my health (laugh).

   I always meet up with my University schoolmates, although we've only graduated last Spring, but in this one year I'm always hearing my friends say "how I wish I can just quit my current job", and there'll be girls crying suddenly too, what am I gonna do? Hm, what should I say to make them feel better... I've been a Johnny's junior for about 5 years, then I became part of Arashi; so I think that no matter what job it is, there'll surely be a time that things doesn't go our way, that's why I'll think of it as "this is just a stage of learning, no matter what others say, to see if it'll go on smoothly, I'll work hard for another 4 years or so".

Ohno Satoshi

If we can both feel "it's interesting" or "how beautiful" at the same time, the girl and I must have some kind of understanding between us

   Now that I'm staying at my folks' home, so my room is sorta like the place which I only return to sleep (laugh). If I start staying out alone, I guess I would be very particular about the interior design. I will not just move things over just as they are, I will modify the standing lamp, and I will have my own tables and chairs custom-made, because I like to do these kind of things. So that is why when I give presents to the girl I like, I will most probably give her something I made myself. The same goes to dating, I will think of  going to places like little special stores; at that time if the both of us can feel "hey~ this is kinda nice" or "how cool is that?!", I will feel very happy, I guess we'll be fine with each other for quite some time...

   The 'perfect type'? Well when we are together, even if we don't talk, we'll be able to understand each other, that sorta girl. Even if it's the first meeting this girl, just by a little chat I'd be able to have a direct response, that I can have 'resonance' with this girl, it just feels right. Other than that, when I confess my love, I'd most probably just say a simple "I like you"; but when I'm going through a break up, just so I can forget it faster, I will focus fully on my work or my hobby I think, and because when I'm more hardworking than before, perhaps the outcome will be superbly great (laugh). I do have friends who already has a family of his own by the age of 24, but because I'm not too sure about my situation, so I'm not planning to get married yet. However, I do have the intention to try, and I'd like to see my own kids, at the same time as a man, I do not want to give up on what I've decided to do, instead I'll focus and head straight for my goal.

WARNING: this post contains nothing but pure ramblings & outpouring of pent up emotions. might not be good for health...

i am seriously pissed because of certain people at work. i dunno what those bitches & bastards want to do w/ their lives but i sure do hope they leave me alone. i am working at peace in my own little world (oh yes, i am autistic..hehe!), unmindful of whatever nasty rumors they are talking about & whatever hocus pocus they do. then all of a sudden here they come attacking me bit by bit.

what the hell do they have against me?!?! is it because i am not one of them who gossips & attacks their co-workers behind their backs?!?! is it because i like japanese/korean guys more than hollywood/local stars?!?! is it because everyday i listen to kpop/jpop on my pc over & over again?!?! or is it because unlike them i can find joy at things their stupid minds can't seem grasp? maybe the answer is plain & simple...they're just plain bitches & bastards & there's nothing i can do about it.

i got reprimanded for using ym while at work. ok i get the point. but what really irked me was when this person threatened to cut off my internet if i don't follow. and this damned person even had the guts to say that it was only being used for "rumors/gosips" anyway. the nerve!!!! well at least unlike her i don't gossip about people at work. yeah, sure, you're not using ym but i know you're using other means to talk about other people's lives...even those that you're not even supposed to be meddling in. why don't you look at yourself first before pointing fingers at others?

i was trying so hard to hold my anger that i can really feel my face turning hot. i don't know if i looked as red as a tomato then but heck i was fuming mad that i cried when i got home to release all the pent up anger. i am not a confrontational person so i try to bite my tongue as much as possible on these kinds of situations. but my patience also has its limits. one of my mottos in life is "do unto others what others do unto you". i can be an angel even to my enemies but i can also be as bitchy as want to be. if i were you don't dare to wake up the dragon sleeping inside me. you (and i as well) just might be surprised at what i can do.

i use my ym to communicate w/ my officemates & friends...to those people who can understand & accept the "weird" me. i would rather talk nonsense w/ these people than talk to people like them who have no sense at all. i don't think they like the fact that i have friends whom i enjoy talking w/ everyday or that i have friends at all. maybe they were surprised that there actually are people who share the same interests as mine. could it be they're afraid that "aliens" like us might invade their "normal" world & take over their "planet"? i don't think OUR kind would bother to take notice of low life forms like them.

now a war has begun. it's gonna be a battle of pride & wits, a mental & emotional test, a test of skill in the art of acting & hypocrisy. i remember nino's character (saigo) in Letters of Iwo Jima. his character taught me a fine lesson...those who uses only bravery die first while the smart coward can survive even a seemingly impossible battle.

with my family & friends' support (not to mention inspiration from arashi & Rain...hehe), i will continue to fight this battle to the best that i can. i will try to continue my life as normal as possible. gambatte ne!!! aja aja fighting!!!

and to the hag & her sidekick/s...eat well, sleep well, live well...and GO TO HELL!!! =)

mood: pissed, happy, excited, bitchy...

i needed a breather from all that's been happening at work lately. been battling my week w/ Batman & Robin so i needed some dose of my arashi pills to keep me sane (?) and calm...

anyway, i am going to blog about the bitch & the bastard some other time. for now let me share to you what one of my ever helpful friend stumbled upon. i will just post my comments later (credit: callmecaito.livejournal):

This list is made up of entirely true, factual, and accurate items that I just made up myself.

OHNO
1. Ohno has two speeds: walk, and ultra-hyper-super-speed-dance.
2. When Ohno eats a banjo (he says they are seriously tasty), he burps bluegrass music.
3. If tapped, Ohno's dancing could power the entire city of Los Angeles for forty-four solid minutes. <i have to agree that his dancing power is at its highest level>
4. "I punched Ohno in the face, and he cried and begged me to stop bullying him. When I woke up - this was obviously a dream, because nothing so ludicrous could ever happen in real life - Ohno was already standing there, because he can read dreams, and he beat my ass for the next three days. I have to say I deserved it." Source: Nakai from SMAP.
5. The real reason Ohno is Leader is because he can win a game of Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun. Sho, on the other hand, loses Russian Roulette against balloons.
6. Ohno once ordered a Big Mac from Krispy Kreme, and got one.
7. There is no control button on Ohno's computer, because he is never in control.
8. Ohno was the original sculptor of Mount Rushmore. He completed the entire project using only a bottle opener and a drywall trowel.
9. Ohno and Nino were once WWE Tag Team Champions. <i had to laugh at this one>
10. Ohno can eat lightning (it is seriously tasty) and fart thunder.
11. Ohno daydreams, but Matsujun's usually too busy giving other people nightmares.
12. Ohno can smell what The Rock is cooking.
13. Ohno is 1/8th Polynesian. This has nothing to do with ancestry, he just once ate a Hawaiian by mistake. (He said afterwards that he was seriously tasty.)
14. Ohno once turned on a blank tape at full volume. The mime next door went nuts.
15. Ohno misread that one verse in the Bible as "be fruity and multiply." He doesn't understand why his best efforts aren't working.
16. Some people like to eat frogs' legs. Ohno likes to eat anything, including lizards' legs ("seriously tasty"). That's why there are snakes.
17. "Astonish Ooh" is an anagram of Ohno Satoshi's name. I don't know what this means exactly, but I think it must be awesome. "Am Unjust Moot" is an anagram of Matsumoto Jun.
18. At any given time, Ohno has approximately $20 worth of change in his stomach.
19. Ohno can make circles with more than three hundred and sixty degrees.
20. Ohno can drink an entire gallon of milk in thirty-seven seconds.
21. Ohno is the only person to ever win a staring contest against Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder at the same time.
22. Nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole, except for Ohno. Ohno eats black holes. And of course, he says they are seriously tasty. <so that's why he's always spaced out>
23. When Leader says, "More cowbell," he means it.
24. Ohno once inhaled a seagull.
25. Ohno doesn't need a remote control. He changes the channel by yelling unintelligibly at his television.
26. A handicap parking sign does not signify that a spot is available for disabled people. It is in fact a warning that the spot belongs to Leader and that you will become handicapped if you park there. Not by Ohno, but by Nino.
27. Ohno drinks napalm to quell his heartburn.
28. Ohno once ate four thirty-pound bowling balls without chewing, they were so seriously tasty.

32. For breakfast, Ohno eats two eggs over easy, and a minivan.
33. Ohno once ran out of alcohol, and tried drinking gasoline instead. He found it so delicious he single-handedly caused the gas shortage of 1974, and he wasn't even born yet.
34. Ohno doesn't have any blood. He is filled with magma.
35. Ohno can actually believe it's not butter.

MISCELLANEOUS
1. Kame from KAT-TUN sheds his skin twice a year.

Gloomy...is the perfect word to describe this day. It's like a storm is forming & threatening to bring havoc to me. Well, literally a Storm is involved for causing this gloomy day for me. I just found out that there was an uwasa (at last) about Sho!!! Rumor has it that he already has a gf who's a CEO & is in her 30's (reminds me of Kimi Wa Petto)!!! And they even said that they've been going steady for 4 yrs already!!! Waaahhhh!!! For someone who hasn't had any rumors about his lovelife this is quite a shocking revelation! The question is if this is a "realistic" rumor (meaning it could be true) or is it just purely fictional (meaning whoever started this must be highly delusional..hehe!)? Well, I believe that some aspects of this rumor could possibly true such as that the girl is older than Sho. Though I have yet to confirm this from past interviews, it is possible that Sho has eyes for older women (such as other Arashi members). Second, it is also possible for Sho-kun to be involved w/ a CEO. Remember that Sho comes from the "elite" circle of society so I wouldn't be surprised if he goes out w/ the CEO & richie-rich types. What amazes me is that part of the rumor saying that they've been going steady for 4 yrs already! IF this is true, how come this rumor only surfaced now? Could it be that Sho was pretty good at hiding from the prying eyes of the media? Is he even better at hiding these things than the ever careful Matsujun? Frankly, it's quite hard to believe that such a big secret could be kept by such a high-profile, party animal celebrity for a very long time. I could believe it if they told that he is dating somebody. But it's quite hard to imagine him maintaining a serious relationship at the rate Arashi's career is going. And like what my friend said if the girl is a CEO I bet she is also VERY busy so how do they find the time to see each other?!?!

You can call me sour-graping, being jealous, whatsoever. I am guilty as charged. It's like our last hope for an Arashi member w/ an "unattached" image has vanished. And you know what I find funny? It's how some fans would say "If this is true then I'm happy for him. At least it proves that he's a normal guy." Don't get me wrong but is being attached a basis for being normal?!?! Does that mean that those who have no lovelife (such as me) is not considered normal?!?! Well, at any rate I still believe Sho is single & unattached unless some strong evidences surfaces.

I just finished watching a couple of J-doramas this past week and I realized they have one thing in common...being able to do the things you REALLY want to do. In Kisarazu Cat's Eye, at least Bussan (Junichi) was able to enjoy the last moments of his life w/ his friends doing the things they want to do (be it a life-long dream of theirs or just a spur-of-the-moment impulse). In Brother Beat, Ryu was able to realize what he really wanted to do in his life. DragonZakura shows how each of the students realized what they really wanted to do in life. In Water Boys 2, I was touched by the friendship of the boys there & their determination to pursue their heart's desires inspite of all the harships & obstacles. It made me examin myself & I found myself asking what I really wanted to do.

Actually, I found it hard to answer that question in a definite way. It's like I can say that I want to have my own business but I can't particularly say what kind of business. And the fact that I want to do so many things in life makes it more complicated. It makes me wonder where my passion really lies. Unlike me, the kids in Water Boys 2 knows what they want to do in the future & they know where their passion lies. So up to now I'm still wondering where my passion really lies though I think it's kinda related to music & entertainment. Actually, I was telling my friend that perhaps it's high time for us to change careers already. Perhaps we should shift as talent scouts or artist managers...hahaha!

Apart from that, I also admire the way they fought for what they really want to do. I also thought of the practicality of doing the things I like. I realized that some of them would not earn myself big bucks & may not be able to support me enough. But in Water Boys 2, Shiori's father turned down an offer for a high-paying job to fulfill his dream of working in a railroad company despite a small pay. I don't know if I can do that myself but I envy him for being able to do what makes him happy. If only life was that simple, ne!

And speaking of passion, here's my latest passion...fangirling!!! I just have to post some caps of their latest Shukudaikun episode (credit to lj's).

Oh my gosh!!! Look at how low the neckline of Sho's shirt is!!! Aiba-chan, you look good in purple but what are those hands of yours gesturing?!?!

I just love it when Sho smiles...

Nice shot of Aiba-chan...

DoS on the lose again..but still very beautiful

Keio boy's weird face + Riida's baka expression = 100% Arashi madness

With this expression I'm having second thoughts on why I like this guy...

Riida is looking kawaii here! I just love that smile..hehe!
