I know I'm a bit late... but consider me the husband who cares a lot, but is a bit absent-minded (no, I did not forget, honey... I've just been busy). Which is entirely, 100% true.

USC's Hidden Fortress: The Last Princess Premiere

Well, this was the Anniversary of our fan meet, and many of us seeing Jun in real life for the first time. Well, here's a more detailed report of what happened on that special day (I got to edit it later, because I forgot some parts, and am not done writing it yet).

Pre-Premiere Report (Part 1)

Well, I have a final to study for (yes, a a final. In the middle of the semester. Why me?).

So, as i promised Kytana & everyone, as soon as finals were over with, I'm going to work on this and FINISH it. And write my 2 other promised fics AND the special surprise for Aiba's birthday (if I can get it all done in time. *sweat drop*)

One thing to note: Are you guys okay with me littering some Japanese words there? I know people on J.E. Secrets have been complaining about fan fiction doing that. I only do that to add some, I guess “realism” to the story. Since I don’t know, nor can I write entire dialogues in Japanese, I sprinkle some words here and there. But if it bothers you guys, I won’t. This one I tried hard not to have them in my story.

--------------------

I heard a knock on my cubicle wall, and the teenage, teasing voice say, “Hey, Oba-san… I heard you… Are you…” The voice changed, sounding concerned. “… you crying?”

            I didn’t look up, but groaned. “Please. Not now, Yuta-kun. I-” my voice broke, and I didn’t dare try to speak any more.

            “Oba-san…” he repeated, in awe and sympathy. “I’m so sorry!” I looked up and saw he had given me a deep bow from the waist.

            “Iya! Yuta-kun, I-”

“Forgive me,” and he left before I could explain it wasn’t his fault.

            I guess he must have come up with some theory for why I was crying, because juniors left and right apologized, whenever they saw me walk by.

            “I’m sorry for my rude words to you today, Houston-san,” Ryosuke gave me a deep, respectful bow as I passed by the juniors’ section to get some old files.

             “It was wrong of us,” Koichi and Shingo approached me at lunch to say, again, with the most serious, respectful manners.

I asked why everyone was apologizing.

“Yuta-kun told us we had hurt your feelings,” Shingo explained.

            I felt a flood of warmth towards the boys. “Well…” I smiled. “It’s okay… I’m okay.”

            They visibly sighed with relief. “I’m so glad!” Shingo exclaimed.

            “It’s not what you guys said,” I tried to explain delicately as I could. “That had me crying.”

            “Eh? Then why were you-” Koichi started asking before Shingo discreetly elbowed him in the midriff.

            I couldn’t help but giggle. “Daijobou, Shingo! He can ask if he wants to.”

            Koichi gave Shingo a defiant glare, and turned to me. “So… oba- I mean, Houston-san, what was wrong? Don’t tell me Matsumoto-san…”

            My eyes started to fill up again.

            “No way!” This time Shingo slammed his open palms on the table. “Matsumoto-san made you cry?” His eyes darkened. I realized that a few years down the line, he’d be a very intimidating and powerful man. He already had etches of his manhood drawn along his face, but I was already too surprised by his strong reaction to think of it.

            “Is there anything you want us to do, oba-san, we’ll do it,” Shingo vowed fiercely.

            “Hai,” Koichi gave his best manly grunt.

            “Eh?” I stood up, feeling not a little bit flustered and embarrassed. “You guys don’t have to do anything at all!!” I waved my hands like a ruffled chicken.

            Still, I couldn’t help but start, and feel the significance of their offer.

            After I finished my lunch, I headed back to my desk to type up some more memos that had piled up, when I ran across Satoshi Ohno – another Arashi band member.

            “Good afternoon, Ohno-san,” I greeted him politely.

            He looked up, startled by the fact that I’d interrupted his reverie. Or maybe he was sleepwalking, like Sho claimed he always did.

            “Morning, Houston-san!” he greeted.

            “Mor…ning?” I repeated; he didn’t seem to notice.

            I was about to pass him by and hurry to work, when –

            “Excuse me, Ohno-san… may I ask you something?” I cautiously spoke.

            “Eh?” He was surprised. “What?”

            “Do you know who… well, I who I like?” I blushed. “Or who everyone thinks I like?”

            He shrugged. “Don’t you know? You like Jun-kun.” He said easily, leaving me a frozen, jaw-dropped statue as we walked away.

            “Even Ohno-kun,” I shook my head in a daze. “Arienatsu no…”

            So what was I going to do, exactly? That’s what I’d like to know.

Okay, so some of you know that Matsumoto is coming to Los Angeles (specifically, University of Southern California, USC), for the special screening of his latest film, The Final Princess. And although we aren't sure if non-students are allowed to come, some of us have made reservations.

[EDIT]: So, Kytana received an e-mail saying non-students can attend, but according to Allison (see comment below), they have added a "Reservation Code", which I was not aware of, and I guess you need that code to go now? I'm assuming all who have registered previously are okay, but for those who haven't and now want to, you need it?  >.<; Any one who might know the code, are you allowed to share it? I'm guessing there are other fans who want to go too, but haven't registered yet.

Since we have such a wonderful and large Arashi fandom community on VOX, I was wondering if those attending would be at all interested in a a meet-up?  Let me just say right now it is totally voluntary. You have the right & choice not to participate at all in the meet up.

 It could be before or during the event.

Seeing as how we only know each other mostly be screen name, I was thinking we could have some sort of special sign or wear something to signal those who are friends from VOX. Mind you, this is only if you want to meet up, and you don't have to give away your online identity, for privacy purposes.

My ideas:

-All wearing special pink bracelets? (something you can print out and then cut out, and tape around your wrist)
-Holding up a sign? (like "Arashi Vox Family" or something along those lines)
-The whole, carry a "Rose" thing? (haha, that' what they do on blind dates, lol, but this is not a blind date, just a friendly get-together).
-Ideas or suggestions?

I also want to ask if we are allowed to bring presents or flowers to the event people (the director, Jun, and the special guest, who was C3-PO from Star Wars).

Maybe we can pitch in a buy a big bouquet from all of us, or each person can bring their own gifts.

Ideas? Do you like the idea? Any one interested in it?

So, I'm sure minna has seen all those hot new performances on the TV stations, ne? Aren't are boys fine-looking! XP (cough) I mean, TALENTED! Mucho talented!

-We've been seeing screen caps of the amazing Behind the Scenes vid off the LE of Step and Go (which I've ordered but have yet to receive. >.< darn).

-Sukudai-kun is funny as heck, with them eating old, or stinky, smelly food.

- Dear Ohno-kun's artbook, Freestyle, which came in Feb 8, is selling like hotcakes on a Sunday morning. Enough so that they've even asked for a second printing - (it was orginally printed for 30,000 copies of the first edition, if I remember rightly). But according to one alert fan, the second edition is going for more than TWICE the price of the first. Laws of supply and demand aside... (demand goes up = price goes up), great job, Ohno-kun!!!

(PS - any news on the art exhibit, for those who went?).

-Sho-kun - who's birthday was back in January, gomen, my Mickey Mouse-kun! - turned 26!! He also went to India, and in the Behind The Scenes, you see him giving out presents to Arashi-minna: t-shirts and incense (and something else, I think, but I didn't understand or see it).

-Nino-kun's Letters from Iwo Jima & the anime Tekkonkinkreet both won Japanese Academy Awards (or equivalent, I think).

-MatsuJun is all the way in Hong Kong, flying back & forth from there to Japan, filming the last Hanadan movie. Aww. I think he and the rest of the cast got basically mobbed in the HK airports though - but the second time around fans were more well-behaved. It was the press that was crazy, haha. the Irony of it all. He  is going to come to the US, to Las Vegas, for some of the scenes. I think he's coming sometime in February - the 18th or 19th???. I wish I could go greet him and welcome him here, but I can't. ;_; (School).

I wish to wrap up this blog with my Ichiman/ban, Aiba. I give all the credit, and all my love to Sableheart, without whom I would have never seen this. Thanks to her making this screencap, I fell in love with my Baka-san all over again!!

Aishiteru yo!!

Well, as I know only like, SEVEN people from Johnny's (5 of them being the Arashi guys XD) I don't know how well I did on this... but here are my results (PS - I got this from Tess) :

EDIT: I just want to add that this was my second time doing it -- the first time all of them (the Arashi 5) got my Ichiban spot! XD This second time, I tried to be a little more pickier. =/

"59.   Jun's room is 1/3 clothes. Once the clothes fell off and almost crushed him. as if that wasn't enough his dresser also collapsed due to his clothes." (from Arashian.com facts page)

I didn't think it was actually TRUE. I'd read Nianna's comic strips joking about Jun's "clothing habits", but to see that it's true... amazing, ne. 0_0

Thought I'd share with the world (well, vox users anyway, ha-ha).

based on a picture... well, it's not here, but yeah. :)

JunandAibapicture1.jpg

My first ichiban (on the R), when I was "Jun-baited". And my Ichiban (L)! XD I was gonna draw them all, but then I got lazy, so it's just those two. XP It's just as well! ;) My art skills are sorely lacking.

CopyofmyfirstlettertoArashi1.jpg

This one is my first and (so far, if you don't count my e-mail to Sho) only letter to Arashi!!! I hope they got it.
 

Show us your guilty pleasure.

Got this from Kytana's blog, and well... she writes where she got it from. :)

1. Who would I get caught in bed with? - Ano... that's hard. Getting caught means we'd be pretty baka, ne - or careless. If it's just for the hots, I'd say Aiba - demo, I'd want to be married before I get in anyone's sack, ne. But this is a hypothetical question, so yeah. ;) Ba-chan.

2. Who I most likely get into a fight with? - Kieko boy Sho, I think. He'd be jealous that I love Aiba, hehe. Nah, also, I'd like to get in a debate with him over something like politics, economics, or whatever, since he's so smarto. 

3. Who do I think is hot? - Ne, they all are! Sho is by far the hottest. Jun is the prettiest. Ohno is the cutest. Nino is like the Asian boy-next-door, and Aiba... he's the baka boy-next-door! ;)

4. Who will I most likely marry? - Aiba, ne.

5. Who would I go on a date with? - Jun, though. He seems by far the most romantic-showy out of the bunch (Nino seems the most romantic at heart, to me, but has a quiet way of showing it, in songs and such.)

6. Who is most like me?- Ach! Nino-san! He's left-handed, plays guitar, and such, but also habits, I think, a little. Ohno would be next though (Mister Artist & Dancer). Then prissy Jun! (and I say this with love! my hime! <3)

7. Who will most likely be enemies with? - Mah... maybe Nino, since we're so similar.

8. Who would be my hang out/shopping buddy?- Well, Kytana wrote Jun, and I think she's right, he'd be my first instinct, but I think I'll have to say Ohno, who's never bought he's own clothes (before until just recently). That would be fun, I think! ;)

9. Who I will have a one night stand with? - Mah... well, that'd be Sho. >_< His hot bod and all that. 

10. Who will get along with my parents / family? - Hum, trick question? That's hard... >.< I'd say baka Ohno, he'sthe most easy-going of the bunch.

11. Who would I fall in-love with? - Aiba ^_^

*I want to be rich - as well as famous, so that I'll be able to afford a second home in Tokyo, where I'd get my Arashi FC membership.

*Because I'm rich, I'd buy some time with Arashi, whereby they'd notice me.

*I'd buy all the damn dorama DVDs I want from Taiwan, as they are made cheaply there, and have (sort of) English subtitles

*I'd also hire some people to kidnap Aiba and make him take me to a local zoo in Japan - where I'd enjoy his broken Engrish, and I'd communicate by just laughing at him.

*Then I'd force persuade Riida to teach me wicked dance moves! XD I'd also allow Chen-Chen to spend time with his one and only Idol, Ohno-kun.

*I'd also want to quiz MatsuJun if, as he is DoS (not EXACTLY sure what that means - but I can kind of guess) if he uses whips and handcuffs! XD Not that I'm interested, as my heart belong to Aiba-kun. Just for curiosity sake. :)

*I'd tell Nino that he DOES in fact have fans aboard (i.e. - ne and the rest of the Arashi fangirls from United States, to Europe, to Mexico, to the Phillipines, to South America and Brazil), and he should totally, when he gets the chance, to convince Johnny to schedule and international tour. Oh yeah. *nods*

*P.S. - How could he *NOT* have known who Clint Eastwood is? *shakes head* I would also tell him that.

*Sho-kun, even though you are not my Ichiban, your boyfriend Aiba is. If I dated him, would you be jealous? Okay, well, since I won't date him (I'll share him with the other Aiba-wifeys!), I must say you are my hero in more ways than one. I envy you for your Keiko University background, and your job as a news anchor...
...and the fact that you could sleep in the same room as Aiba-chan if you wanted to. XD

*I'd demand their to be English subtitles on all Japanese shows - especially ones in which Arashi members are involved. Oh, and Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese subtitles would be a mega plus! ;) Better yet: have them all interchangeable! You could choose which one you wanted! I'm brilliant, yes?

*There should be screencaps by the bucket-load for each show. Just saying.

*If I could, I'd make it so that each concert would have front-row seats only, so that everyone could be close to their favorite stars.

*I'd show Arashi all the youtube and veoh, and etc vidoes on them, and ask them what they thought

*I'd also show them all the pictures the fangirls have collected over the years (no doubt causing great shock, and ego-boosting to these young lads)

That's my ramblings today. Night!
