Ahh!! I've been waiting for this since I heard about it!! Ikuta & O-Chan together! I had to really rush home from work pretty fast in time to catch the beginning - but I made it! They looked so cute!! I keep noticing recently something under O-Chan's left eye - everytime I see him interviewed I notice it... I never noticed it in the past before - It's like a mole or something!?
Anyway... As for the results.. It started with the wall crash - O-Chan reminded us that last time he played his shoe came off so he said 'This time I really tied my shoes up tightly!!' He only managed 10 points last time and his first go here - he didn't do much better (40 points), but it was better that Toma's try! He fell off the wall altogether! BUT O-Chan cleared it on his second try (Toma didn't!). The next game was the Never Wipe Out game where they have to roll a ball onto 5 or 6 levels and into a basket. On their 3rd go they actually broke the ball in half!!! The host said that that was the first time in the show's history that that had ever happened - the boys looked quite happy about it! But it wasn't a clear... After many attempts they cleared the game on the final try - and they HUGGED! So cute!
Next game was the Chu Chu Buster one where they basically bash the crap out of dolls. Toma was so funny on his go - he was just bashing nothing! Useless! But anyway, they cleared it (giri giri!). Next was the Quiz Picture game... not that interesting but O-Chan's knowledge of fish was funny! The ones he couldn't get he said it was because he had never caught them. Cleared again. Then the grand slam... NOT CLEARED!! I totally blame Toma for this! It was always him letting the shots in and he never got a goal either! So they couldn't get their holiday to Euro Disney!
As for the finale... They showed the special prize of the car that they could get one each of - O-Chan looked like, 'Who cares! I can't drive! Just gimme the fishing shit!!' Toma's choice of prizes was a TV and Blu Ray player and O-Chan'd was fishing stuff and a boat (dhingy to be exact). O-Chan was up first and he won the TV and said Toma could have it. Next was Toma and he won a scrubbing brush! O-Chan again, he got another TV!!! Then Toma who also got a TV!!! So O-chan ended up with a TV and Toma got 2!
God I wished it was a 2hr special! I could have watched those boys forever... anyway, I've still got SxS and Arashi No Shukudai Kun to look forward to tonight. Not to mention MAOU on Friday! ARRRGGHHHH!!!!!!
Yatta!! Went and saw the movie I’ve been waiting for today! It was everything I hoped it would be!! Just loved it!! And when it finished I just sat there wanting it to be longer... I wish that they were gonna make more. Favourite scenes included a huge Doumyoji fight scene near the start - there were loads of stunts and just MatsuJun acting generally MECCHA KAKKOII!! Also anything with all of F4 together - I loved Doumyoji’s crappy Japanese being laughed at by the others. And of course there are loads of Makino Doumyoji moments to enjoy. I loved a scene near the start where they are left in a hotel room together and Makino leans back on a sofa facing away from Doumyogi... And he kinda gets a look up her skirt and giggles like a girl about it! KAWAII!! What else?? I loved The whole segment on the island - I’m sure you’ve all seen the half naked MatsuJun :D AND THE ENDING!! It was such a wicked ending. As for the story...? Perhaps not the strongest of storylines - but hey, you get a whole load of MatsuJun Fun but not nearly enough Oguri Shun for my liking!!
pegsball でした!
Saw this on You Tube... You can hear Arashi's song for Maou in the background!! It sounds very catchy and Ohno-full! It's more upbeat than I thought it would be... but Arashi really do upbeat the best so I'm not complaining.
This video not only has a quick clip of the song but also a VERY pissed looking Ohno when one of the cast member's mistakes him for being a V6 member!! PRICELESS!!
Another week has past and of course there's been a slew of Maou & Hanadan features. FYI - I watched the Hanadan TBS special that was on today... if you get the chance - You should DEFINITELY watch this!! It was so much fun!
Anyway - I've taken some crappy quality shots of TV LIFE which has much the same kind of Maou photoshoots as every other mag out (Come on! Originality people!!! Where are the Ohno x Toma shirtless shots!!?). But in the mag was a character chart that details all the relationships (sorry, it's not a very clear shot!). And also a random but cute Mao x Jun shot.
Wah! I went to Tokyo Dome today to go and take in the atmosphere before the Arashi concert (that I wasn't going to!!). It was so cool (but a little depressing as I had no ticket!) but I waited in line for the official goods and got the booklet, Ohno photos and eco bag! I also took photos (before I got told off by a security guard! Johnny's rules are RUBBISH!!). I also got the Hanadan book... So anyways - I thought I'd post some of my photos - AND probably the most exciting is Ohno & Toma on the front of TV Guide!! Anyway... Enjoy!
Yeah! June and July is seriously ARASHI month! TFP has the Hanadan team on next week and then the week after... O-CHAN & TOMA!!! Yatta!
Of course the new single is out on the 25th (I've already ordered my DVD copy!) and then the Hana Yori Dango movie on the 28th (I am SO first in line to see that!!)
But the one I am seriously waiting for is JULY 4TH... Maou! Cannot wait for O-Chan's drama... just the 15 second CM got me super excited!!
God bless the Japanese summer time!!!!
Aaaah! I just wanna enjoy Riida's last moments of blonde with these pictures! But that said... he's looking fit at the moment with his dark hair and there's been a bit of a change in his personality, a bit of a darker side emerging (check out last week's HnA)... seems he's fitting into the drama persona quite nicely!
O-Chan is finally able to take the lead is a drama!!! And even better news... his co-star is Ikuta Toma! I can't even say how excited I was when I heard this!!
The drama is called 'Maou' (The Devil) and Ohno will be playing a lawyer who has two very different sides to his personality - one kind and caring and the other cruel and calculated. Toma will be playing a detective I think.
I'm so happy I get to see O-Chan in a leading role, I just hope that the drama is well written and directed. I know Riida can pull off the acting and it's great Toma is along for the ride too!
The drama starts in July and will be shown in the 10pm TBS Friday time slot! 楽しみに!!
Got my new Arashi album this week!! Yeah!! Also got the new concert DVD last week (which was well worth the wait). I've posted my two fave songs from the album... One is a group number and the other is Nino's solo ~ which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I tried not to post every song ~ as was my inital reaction, coz I just love the album. But other favourites include O-Chan's solo along with MatsuJun's (which was a big suprise for me!) and Dive Into The Future!
Man, I am loving Riida's new blonder look!! There has been a whole lot of Arashi action lately... which is a good thing because Shingo's drama ended and SmaSma's been off air (until tomorrow's SP!!!). VS Arashi started on Saturday and it ROCKED!!! It's gonna be like Arashi guesting on Tokyo Friend Park every week, without the irrating supporting characters!! Riida was the best with his very swift hands!! And I must say it was good to see MatsuJun being brought down a peg or two... even though I love him! Cannot wait for Saturday afternoon's now!
ひみつの嵐ちゃん started this week too, I did like it, but I think it could be a little more fun. For the first episode nobody went out on location... so I hope this changes and maybe the guys can go off in pairs etc... that would make it really great I think. I'm glad they are hosting themselves, but there is still a panel of completely pointless people which seems to be obligitary in Japanese variety... why do they have to have so many!!? I can understand one or two guests or regulars... but a whole panel!? Pointless!
Anyway, looking forward to grabbing my copy of the Time concert this week and then the album next week! Now all that's left is for SMAP to release an album!! Come on boys! Hurry up!
