| | after all the introduction about Arashi, I should start to recount how did i start on this Arashi craze..long story...so lets go...
About 5-6 years ago, when I was only 13 or 14, my brother, started to listen to J-pop, namely, Hamasaki Ayumi. So the young me also started to listen to a little bit of J-pop. At that time, Music Station was available on television with subtitles! ( thats the impt part, the subtitle) So there i was, watching Kinki Kids, thinking that their songs are quite nice and some other ppl. Then one day, I saw Arashi. They were dancing to their special medley, where its a string of songs from their first album. I was attracted to them immediately. I was like, they are cute and they can dance! woah! haha...I still remember vividly that the 2 person who attracted me was Ohno and Nino. So I immediately prepared the video tape and recorded the repeat of Music Station ( i still have the video tape! ). At that time, I always cannot remember their grp name, so i had to keep asking my brother. Started to download some of their songs but at that time, i've juz gotten internet connection. so wasnt tat savvy yet. haha...and of coz, i bought their first album, which i still think is very nice! Tried to look for J-dramas with Nino or Ohno or even Arashi, but at that time, i could, except for one by Nino. Namida o Fuite ( As tears go by ). A really nice drama. But alas...the J-pop craze soon died down within me and i got hooked back to the eng pop tat i'm used to, which i later changed to mando-pop...haha.
Though I never forgot Arashi, the truth was, I nv paid much attention to them anymore, coz i dont get their news over here, and i nv bothered to go and find. At that point,i had other things to find out about. So though their poster nv left my wall, i nv really looked much at it.Haha...I remember one year, i got my brother to buy me Arashi 5X5 compilation album for my birthdae. Now, thats the 2nd album of Arashi that i owned. Sadly, that wasnt enough to stir up the Arashi fever within me.
Years later, around the May or June period, when i was rotting at home, waiting for Uni to start, i started to browse youtube for more things to see. At that point in time, I've watched all the videos of my idols tat i haf nuthing to watch already. So i thought, " Why not search for Arashi? It's been a long time since I saw them or heard them. Maybe I should re-live the A-RA-SHI and Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi times. " So i went on youtube and typed Arashi and woah!!! I was bombarded by pages and pages of Arashi related clips! So i started by watching the PVs of their older songs. The songs that i were familiar with. Then i ventured to the newer PVs. One reason was that i'm a music lover, 2ndly, i wanted to hear Arashi, like so how did their newer songs sound like. From then on, I was hooked again. Especially by the song Sakura Sake. The tune is juz too catchy!! wahaha..and the PV is very cute. Will put it up in the video section if i have the time. Most probably when i return to hall. And the rest is history. I started watching more of their clips. Went online to surf around. Found AMNOS.net which is currently down. And later found Arashian.com! a great place with friendly people and they are very generous in sharing clips. So here I am, super hooked and super addicted to Arashi that i haf to start a site to dedicate to them.
Arashi rocks my world!!!!
