嵐、『紅白歌合戦』初出場決定、おめでとう!
TV progqam "Miyane-ya" reported who will be appearing on the program "Kouhaku Utagassen" this year, that is annually broadcasted on New Year's Eve on NHK network, around 3.40pm today.
ARASHI WILL BE APPEARING THIS YEAR! At last!!
Congratulations, guys!!
I never ever thought about it until I saw the Nikkan Sports article this morning.
Yet I can't believe it...! I'm nearly crying...
ほんとにおめでとう。
近年の『紅白歌合戦』、私はあまり好きじゃないけれど。
去年、カウントダウンコンサートの司会もいいけど、本当は『紅白歌合戦』に出てほしい、と思ってた。だから、素直にうれしい。
周りの思惑がどうであろうと、誰がなんて言おうと、あなたたち5人は今年の紅白に出ることができるだけの活躍をじゅうぶんしてきたと思う。だから、胸はって、大晦日に、5人そろって紅白の舞台で歌ってください。
本当におめでとう。
LOVE + PEACE/SMILE + MUSIC + COOL + UDAUDA x OBAKA

ARASHI
1999 - forever :)
I don't carry any uchiwa at Arashi's concert, so I never tried to make it, never thought about it at all as I totally lack of talent making stuffs by hand. :P
But.
Last week - maybe just after listening to the songs "5x10" and the secret track on the regular edition - the above phrase suddenly hit my head and it still sits on.
Ah, wish I was skillful enough to make uchiwas by hand, then I might try to make one with that phrase on for this anniversary tour.
On this first day of the 10th Anniversary Tour, I sincerely wish everything goes well - no troubles, no sickness, no accidents - till the last night of the tour in Nagoya in 2010!!
Ah, I haven't posted here for loooong time....
Arashi boys went back to South Korea and played concerts this weekend in Seoul. Reading reports and articles about it reminds me of their first concert in Seoul.
I don't know how many Korean Arashi fans are here, but I'd like to get in touch with fans whom I met and talked with at the first Seoul concerts in 2006. Though I'm not sure if they are still fans of Arashi or not....
I forgot to exchange names and email adderesses with them and I always regret it. I've wanted to search for them, but didn't know what to do.... Probably, it'd be too late to post here but I hope any of them (or their friends) happened to read this post and contact me.
Here is the details of them:
In the afternoon of Sat. 11 November, I joined the queue for Arashi concert goods, and while I was on the queue I chatted with 4 girls from Daejeon (대전). Two of them were first-year university students and others were high school students - one girl was 1st grade and another was 2nd grade (wearing glasses).
They told me that they came to Seoul from Daejeon with other Arashi fans for the Seoul concert by hired bus (or car). All of them attended 2nd concert on Sat., 11 November. The 2nd grade high school girl had a ticket of arena area, while the 1st grade high school girl had a ticket for stand L or C8 area. Both university students had tickets for stand L or C15 area.
We talked in Japanese most of the time, as I could speak only basic Korean.
As I didn't have a ticket for Saturday concerts, I said goodbye to them when the guard started to form a queue for audience of 2nd concert. After I had a snack beside the Olympic Hall, I met them on the queue again and chatted for a while. Then the queue started to move towards the entrance of the Hall, so we parted there. My memory is quite hazy, but I think I asked their names then. The 2nd grade high school girl's family name was Chi(?) or something like that, while the 1st grade high school girl's family name was Lee (이 or 리, I think).
Well, they might not remember me already, but I just wanna say hello again if they still love Arashi and remember the time we talked together. And if they got tickets for this weekend concerts, I hope that they enjoyed as much as I did at Arashi concerts for the past 2 years!
Just now I saw the news on TV.
ARASHI willl be hosting the "24-Hour TV" this year!!!
O M G ...!!
I didn't expect this at all!
