I'm all revved up for the final episode of NatsuNiji after catching up with episodes 7 & 8 since I caught 9 while on my trip!!
I'm enjoying this drama and getting caught up with the characters' emotions more than I expected myself to! Episode 8, especially, was my favourite because of its tone. It portrayed the sadness and honest conflict Shiori-san's character felt while at the same time it was funny and had its tender moments.
And it was beautifully set. I really loved the last scene, set against the gorgeous blue sky.
I really can't wait for tomorrow's final episode with Nino! I wonder if he will be appearing as his Freeter character... (:
Somebody tell me I'm not the only one who starts grinning like an idiot on the train whenever I listen to Love Rainbow because when 七色のフレーズ comes up, I can't get this scene out of my head ^^
I think Love Rainbow is a great release because I fell for both sides of the single almost immediately. Too many releases make songs difficult to pick up and remember... so if I like it enough to put it on repeat, it's a winner for me!
This day is always special - I mean this particular birthday. Of course I celebrate everybody else's just as much as I can when their birthdays roll around, but his seems to have blended with the period of 3 months I consider my anniversary of becoming an Arashi fan. I always end up thinking of how many years I've been an Arashi fan when I think of all his birthdays I've been lucky to celebrate in spirit.
I allowed myself to start listening to the new album today. And someone's solo totally owned everything else. I don't think I have anything else to say except gush over repeatedly in my head everything I've already said on twitter today:
Went karaoke today with (most of) the poly gang. Matsumiya friend and I were searching for Arashi in the Japanese Male and Group categories so that I could sing A.RA.SHI but we couldn't find any Arashi; there was SMAP, Kinki Kids, and KAT-TUN plus Yamapi (Daite Senorita) even!
I was kinda sore at that. So I went flipping through all the artists in the Japanese Female category to look for stuff I may be able to sing and I found this:
I'm still a bit miffed...apparently our Arashi boys are too pretty, they end up in the Female category?! XD
Oh well so I got to sing A.RA.SHI in the end ^^
I even tried Shiina Ringo's ここでキスして and BoC's 天体観測 - I mangled them of course. Couldn't even remember how to sing V6's Darling properly :x
I'm worried because I think with the lack of exposure, my Japanese is deteriorating (I know it's not even a very high level). Need to buck up and work towards JLPT3 at the end of this year!
