Gree CMs!

Gree is a social networking service focusing on games, and it seems like Arashi is in their new CMs! With the tagline that pretty much says "let's make things interesting!" and individual CMs asking things like "everyone, are you having fun?" (Aiba's) I guess the focus is on "making things interesting".

 

Not sure what exactly Gree is advertising (their service in general?) but in any case, I find the CMs visually appealing XDD

NTV Best Artist - 2012.11.28

Aired On: November 28th, 2012

I have to be honest. I was in Tokyo on the date this show was aired, and I fully intended to watch it, except... I kind of didn't. At least, not the Arashi parts. I only caught the last half of "Troublemaker" because I had left the common room for a bit, and then while watching the show I kept getting sleepier and sleepier as the common room got noisier and noisier with more people coming in, and in the end the introvert in me gave up and went up to my room, 3/4 into the show. I knew that Arashi would be the last performers, but I figured that I'd download it once I'm back in Malaysia. Which I did.

 

As expected, my favourite is the "Wild at Heart" performance. I love "Troublemaker" and am not so keen on "Your Eyes", but "Wild at Heart" is one of the Arashi songs I could watch them perform again and again, and still find myself glued to the screen.

Day 4: Sapporo

Honestly, a lot of things happened on the second day that I wanted to write about (when it was happening), but by the time we got back to the dorm we were staying at I was just too tired. And by now, a week later, the memory of the two days have kind of blurred together ^^;

Second day, our view.

Arafes DVD jacket covers!

Johnny's Net finally upped the jacket covers for the Arafes DVD! The LE and RE looks the same, but the LE looks like it's a little wider? Also it boasts a 92-page booklet, so. I can't wait for my copy :D

Day 3 - Sapporo!

 

Sapporo Dome!

 

The first day of Sapporo Dome! Kelly and I arrived in Sapporo at around 9:30 in the morning, and by the time we reached our hostel we were ready to just crash into our beds and sleep til noon. Instead, we went back out and slogged through the snow to get to Sapporo Dome, to buy goods! Luckily, there wasn't really a queue for goods today. One of the girls at our hostel told us that the earphone jacks (which are red for Sapporo, by the way. Yay!) sold out the day before. Thanks to the lack of queue, we got all our goods pretty quickly. This also meant that we had extra hours to kill, and all the nearby restaurants and cafes were completely full (with Arashi fans, of course). There was a display of Nino's Pocky ads at a supermarket we passed. The entire area was crowded with fans buying Pocky, because they had a special where if you bought two boxes, you get a devil horns headband. I bought a couple, to give to my sister, who's a Nino fan.
