Happy 12th Anniversary to Arashi~

Coincidentally, today is also the 12th anniversary of Arashi.......which I really didn't know till today, even though Arashi is my 2nd favourite group from JE!

HAPPY 12TH ANNIVERSARY TO ARASHI!!

I guess Arashi is the only group that didn't start out as Jr. since they were transferred from another company into JE. Like NEWS, I really like their songs and if you listen carefully, you'll realize that they're really meaningful.

Though Matsujun is hugely popular, he has not yet been my fav. from the group. I think it started with Ohno, then to Sho, Aiba and then Nino.....haaha.....but I like all of them!

Since it's both NEWS and Arashi's anniversary, what better what than to share moments of them together. I took these gifs from NEWStalgia.

Yaa....Nino is pinching Pi!!

Well, aren't these two close?

Cuties....

These 2 seems distant....haaha.

I recently bought Arashi's 10-11 Tour SCENE- "Kimi to boku no miteiru fukei-stadium" and I wanna say that it's AMAZING! Ok, first off is the stage.....omg, the waterfall?? and is there anything that can't move on that stage?? Seriously, if you wanna be a johnny's, you really can't have fear of heights! I get nervous, every time I look at how high the artist have to stand or be suspended in mid-air!!!

The concert's great too...the venue is super huge, I wonder if it accommodates more than Dome because it seems like it. Arashi looks like ants from the far end. But the pace is really good, for a moment I thought they fast forwarded the first few songs, but then it's not. It really helps bring out the hype!! Plus the sky itself is cool....from day light to sunset and then the dark sky!

Yes and all these concert craze started with the first JE concert DVD that I have......10 years ago?? That was when I was drawn into all the "shows" and additional props used for their concerts. hehee.....

Ryusei No Kizuna

A must watch drama!!!


Ryusei no Kizuna~~~ by Ninomiya Kazunari, Nishikido Ryo and Toda Erika.


When I watched the drama, I felt like I have watched it before but I just don't remember when. Felt like I've watched it years ago but the drama was out only in 2008. Lol.....anwyays it's a great show.



Love the casts!! Nino<3 Ryo<3 and Erika<3 Never doubted Ryo's acting before and he doesn't fail to impress me with this one. Even though Nino's quite well-known as an actor, this is the first time I've watched his drama and NINO DESERVES THE BEST ACTOR AWARD HE WON!!! whee~ I shall look out for other dramas by him from now on. And Erika did great too. I thought that she played this role the best among all her other characters. Yup the other 2 deserves their best supporting actor and actresses awards too!

Learned a new name for a food I will never be able to eat from this movie - Hayashi rice which is basically hashed beef rice served as a western dish in Japan. Lol.


Anyways, its a story about 3 kids whose parents were murdered on the night when they decide to sneak out just to have a look at the meteor rain. The 3 kids then vowed that when they grow up, they would seek revenge and kill the murderer.


Here's are 2 nice songs from the drama:

Mika Nakashima -Orion


*I was the one who cried /Naita no wa boku datta
Because you told me /Yowasa wo misenai koto ga sou
That not showing any signs of weakness /Tsuyoi wake ja naitte kimi ga
Is not the same as being strong /Itteita kara da yo
I believe


On my way home my breath grows cold /Iki ga tsumetakunaru kaerimichi ni
The stars are just swaying /Tada hoshi ga yoriteiru


Even the fleeting warmth /Tashikameta bakari no
I’ve just discovered /Awai nukumori sae
Seems to be easily forgotten /Mo wasuresou


I’ve realized now, for the first time /Hito wo suki ni nareru koto ni
That I can love someone /Hajimete kitsuita ima wa


I was the one who cried /Naita no wa boku datta
I kept my eyes on the winter constellations /Tsunagatta fuyu no seiza
So that they would never vanish /Kono sora ni kietekanai you ni
From this sky /Mitsumeteitanda yo
I believe


My palm has grown numb /Kajikanda te no hira
I want to touch you forever so we can never be apart /Hanarenu you ni itsumademo fureteitai


Though I repeat the words I want to say to you in my mind /Tsutaetai kotoba wo kurikaesu no ni
I still can’t say them aloud /Mata koe ni naranai


I’ll say something silly and smile /Tawainai koto de waratte
Then gently wrap my arms around you /Yasashiku tsutsumu yo kimi wo


I counted the shooting stars /Nagareboshi kazoeteta
The miracle of having met you /Kimi to deaeta kiseki ga
Taught me /Ima boku ni
The meaning /Ikiteiru imi wo
Of the life I’m living now /Oshiete kureta kara
So I believe


(Repeat*)


Arashi's Beautiful Days

Lyrics:

Sora ni kagayaku yo kirari
Hoshi ga jiwari nijindeku yo
Kanashii hodo kirei da ne

Hanashi wo kiitehoshii koto
Are mo kore mo aru kedo
Nigirishimete dakishimete
Shiwakucha no mama
Hoshi ni negau to itsuka
Kanau to iu keredo
Yume no naka de shika bokura
Towa ni mou aenai

Sora ni kagayaku yo kirari
Hoshi ga jiwari nijindeku yo
Kaerimichi namida ga tomaranai
Boku wa zutto
Sora ni omoide ga porori
Namida horori koboreteku yo
Kanashii hodo kirei da ne

Kanashimi wo wakeatte
Namida no kazu herasu yori
Yorokobi wo wakachiaenai hou ga tsurai ne
Mabuta no oku ni utsuru
Koboreru egao ga ima made mo yuuki kureru yo
Mou ichido aitai

Sora ni mukatte utau yo
Sou utau yo koe no kagiri
Fushigi da ne hitori ja nai n da
Boku wa zutto
Sora ni mukai te wo furu yo
Kono te furu yo chikara komete
Sore ga bokura no sain

Tanoshikute mo kurushikute mo
Mou bokura wa aenai
Donna ni negattete mo

Sora ni kagayaku yo kirari
Hoshi ga jiwari nijindeku yo
Kaerimichi namida ga tomaranai
Boku wa zutto
Sora ni omoide ga porori
Naida horori koboreteku yo
Kanashii hodo kirei da ne

Sora ni mukatte utau yo
Sou utau yo koe no kagiri
Fushigi da ne hitori ja nai n da
Boku wa zutto
Itsumade mo wasurenai yo
Wasurenai yo
Kimi to itsuka sora ni egaita mirai

Arashi Believe

Arashi - Believe PV


Another great song by Arashi! They also release very meaningful songs! Arashi and NEWS are definitely my fav. groups from JE.



Part of the lyrics:

"That's right, we're always waiting
No matter how long it takes, we wait
Because the dream that we're always hold in our hearts
On the road that goes on forever
Will surely come true
We'll go on, crying, laughing "

"Pursuing passion all the time
It's a brand new world
Because we had found the light
In the days that darkened in pain
Shines on a single destination
Thoroughly paving the way
We don't need a future that taints our pride
It's within our grasp "

"We'll continue on the endless road
Shouting ourselves hoarse as we
Endlessly chase after that dream
That shines as it shows our future "

Well....the english lyric might seem a bit weird because it's the direct translation of the japanese one and there are major differences in sentence patterns between the 2 languages.

Happiness - Arashi

Wanted to share this song of Arashi because it's so meaningful. Purposely placed the translation 1st to share with everyone!

Happiness [PV] Lyrics
Translations
Rather than grieving in the headwind
If we imagine things will go well, someday times will change

When we’re engrossed in living and by trival matters
When we falter as love hurts us, we have to stand up again each time

If we think of the comings and goings of memories, it is too lonely
Because an exciting future is sure to be waiting over there for us

Start running, start running, let’s go and welcome tomorrow
Let me hear your sound, I feel it all
Don’t stop, don’t stop, these feelings move me now
No matter how small the bud may be, it is just one Happiness

Even the feelings of tears can’t be put into words
Because it’s alright not to worry about things like what color the rainbow of happiness is

When we find the answer, we’ll have accumulated more memories
From here to can head without fear to a new place

Till far away, till far away, the path leads on forever
Let me hear your voice, I’ll always be beside you
Don’t stop, don’t stop, these feelings I’ll always believe in
The bud may not have a name yet, but it is just one Happiness

Start running, start running, let’s go and welcome tomorrow
Let me hear your sound, I feel it all
Don’t stop, don’t stop, these feelings move me now
No matter how small the bud may be, it is just one Happiness

Kanji
Yeah yeah yeah…

向かい風の中で　嘆いてるよりも
上手く行く事を想像すれば　いつの日か変わる時がくる

夢中で生きてたら　何気ないことで
愛が傷ついて　ためらいながら　何度も立ち上がるよ

思い出の後先を　考えたら　寂しすぎるね
騒がしい未来が向こうで　きっと待ってるから

※走り出せ　走り出せ　明日を迎えに行こう
君だけの音を聞かせてよ　全部感じてるよ
止めないで　止めないで　今を動かす気持ち
どんなに小さなつぼみでも　一つだけのHappiness※

涙の気持ちさえ　言葉に出来ない
幸せの虹は　何色なんて　気にしなくていいから

答えを見つけようと　思い出また積み重ねてる
ここから新しい場所へ　何も恐れないで

遠くまで　遠くまで　どこまでも続く道
君だけの声を聞かせてよ　ずっとそばにいるよ
止めないで　止めないで　ずっと信じる気持ち
今は名もないつぼみだけど　一つだけのHappiness

(※くり返し)

Yeah yeah yeah…

Romanizations
Yeah yeah yeah!　Yeah yeah yeah!　Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

☆(repeat)
Yeah yeah yeah!　Yeah yeah yeah!　Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Bonus:
Tohoshinki's Shine
It's a love song about how the guy feels about love towards the most important person to him, his precious! I like the lyrics because it says,"From now on, we'll always be together and that everything will be alright. You are always my light so lets walk towards our future together!" Will you faint if the guy you like tell this to you???
Will post if I can find the lyric and translations.
