So this song is... weird. I like it rhythmically/musically speaking, but I'm not sure I like the lyrics. They're just so random? This song confuses me so much. But oh well. Here it is, BORDER :3

Maaaaaan, this song is so good??? Honestly, I love every single song in Doors. I can't tell you which I love most, seriously. Why are Arashi like this? WHY. Everything in "untitled" is extraordinarily good (maybe minus Bazuri Night and Comeback which are not my favs but I still love them because unit songs, duh) and now this??? Damn, Arashi. You really insist on making me love you.

I tried my hand at translating this because it looked fairly easy when I listened to it, but translating songs is a mess, so I'm just adding a disclaimer that it could be all wrong and/or weirdly phrased because I was unable to convey the meaning (hopefully not, but my confidence in Japanese is not that great so lol idk if you understand Japanese please feel free to tell me everything is wrong tyvm I need to learn.)

Doesn't this sound a bit like Masquerade by the way? I mean, the kind of sound. The beginning reminds me of Masquerade so much.

I love this song so much, really. I don't even know why, but I love it a lot. It's very catchy and it's stuck in my head (that and "Sugar", which is also the bane of my existence aka my fav song from the new album.) I still haven't had the chance to watch Sho-chan's new dorama (oops, I'm sorry Sho-chan, don't hate me, you're still my fav) but from what I see from what people are posting on twitter, this should be a fitting theme song.

Also, have you watched the PV? ASDFGHJKL Arashi and kids bye


※ Please feel free to correct me if there are any mistakes in the kanji (I got them from the booklet so it should be fine, but you never know) or the romaji ※

(Ps: if any of you knows how to add furigana to the post, please let me know?) I managed to add the furigana as well, so enjoy! :D

This week's IntroTalk was pretty interesting yayyy! I was actually supposed to post this sooner (like yesterday sooner), but my computer shut down on its own and I gave up. But today I'm here with this cool talk on part-time jobs.

I think we've heard numerous times what kind of jobs Arashi would like to do if they weren't idols, but I wonder if it's the first time they ask about part-time jobs. Surprisingly enough, it looks like Lil Shit™ is the only one who took the question seriously this time.

The rest of the episode was very interesting too. The plus one guest was one of Arashi's kouhais and a Nino fanboy, which was cute because he kept on being nervous the entire time. There was also the special Beta Arashi segment which is always a pleasure to watch! If I have time I will try to post the translation for that as well (but probably in the next couple of days, since I know I won't have time tonight or tomorrow.)

For now, please enjoy this week's IntroTalk!

So far, I'm loving every single song on this album :) I believe Nino said "Hikari" is his favourite, so please enjoy the lyrics to this song! It was Jun who said it was his favourite, but sleepy me somehow got mixed up -.-"

※ I'm not sure about a couple of words in here, so please do not hesitate to correct me if you find any mistakes ※

I will probably be updating the post with the full lyrics as soon as I can.

Also, I don't know why the formatting is not precisely working tonight, but it's too late so I will worry about it tomorrow /snores

That faint light is showing us the way... )

If this whole episode was awesome, it's also because of this hilarious special segment that they made called "Quiz: Matsumoto Jun." It's basically just a way for the staff to mess with Jun, and I love them for that so much. I hope we're getting this in the future for other members as well. *prays*
Please enjoy!

VS Arashi is finally back!!!! YES!!!! I had completely forgotten that it was back yesterday (I'm so bad at remembering things, I thought it was going to start next week *smh*) but I'm so happy because I was surprised and absolutely delighted to find out a new episode was waiting. And what's more, this episode was against the Narratage Team, which meant that team Arashi had to fight Jun and his team this time around. I love it when a member comes with his own team, it makes things more interesting, don't you agree?
This episode was an absolute BLAST! I laughed a lot (and I fangirled even more,) If I have time, I want to try and translate more than just this part, but for now please enjoy today's IntroTalk!

It's Arashi's 18th anniversary, yay!! I'm sad I got into Arashi so late, actually, because I fear they will disband pretty soon (5x20 maybe? After the Olympics and such...)

But let's not think about it today! Yesterday I couldn't properly celebrate because I was at work until 7:30 PM - yay unpaid internships!!! - so when I got home I had dinner and then fell asleep as soon as I laid down on my bed lol SHAME ON ME!! Thursday was also my birthday and I was out the whole day, so I hadn't properly slept since Wednesday anD YOU SEE BEING 25 IS A LOT OK

That said, in today's IntroTalk™ the focus is on Arashi's anniversary \o/ Please enjoy!

I got the internet baaaaaack! Yayyyyy! I've been without WiFi for two weeks now x.x And even though I only ever use it in the weekend since I work ten hours a day 5/7, I need my internet. So I'm so happy I got it back just in time to watch the new VS Arashi <3

Today's introtalk is about the end of summer and fireworks! Just to ramble a bit (feel free to skip this part if you want) but how pretty is the word 花火 (hanabi/firework) in Japanese? Look at the cute little hana and the cute little hi coming together *doesn't know why she's feeling emotional rn* I hate to love kanjis by the way

I love it when Namase-san guests in their episodes (see here for example) because he's always so funny and says a lot of interesting things. This time as well, he didn't disappoint! His conversation with both Ohno and Aiba was so funny, but of course, being an obviously Aiba-biased fan, I chose to translate his part xD If I have time I will post Ohno's as well because that was funny too!

As always, remember:

Why the talk about the bugs today, Arashi? It began as quite a icky topic but it became so funny in the end. Also, while I'm writing this there's a moth that's been observing me from the ceiling. Ew.

Scratch that, there's another (smaller) moth that just flew past me. I feel observed. lol

It's been so long since I posted anything but I've been so busy with work that I don't even have time to sleep on the weekends xD But this time I decided I would take a day off from adulting (who needs to do the laundry or go grocery shopping anyway) and spend it lazing around and VSA is the perfect thing to watch ♥ And since I loved the intro talk, I sent pics to my cousin and translated it for her, so I thought I might post it here as well. Enjoy~

I transcribed this for myself so I thought of posting it. There are probably loads of lyrics for this song by now, but I only follow one Kame and one Yamapi comm and there's nothing there so xD


I'm gonna draw my destiny with you )

New song, new lyrics! The chorus for this song is really catchy, so I had a lot of fun singing along.  I'm not really sure about that 消えないでは, so if you have any idea about what that should be (or if you notice any other mistakes) please let me know! :D LOL I figured out that it was supposed to be (probably?) "Love" because I've been subconsciously singing it like that for a while, but I forgot to change the lyrics *smh* Again, if you find mistakes etc, please tell me! :3

Thank you to winky-chan for the audio rip! ♥



Even in this sad world filled with lies, just keep believing in this love... )

This is one of my favourite Arashi ni Shiyagare episodes, but I've never seen it subbed or translated anywhere, which is a shame.

The guest for this episode was the actor Namase Katsuhisa, who teaches Arashi how to do improv. They start off with what he calls "AIUEO" improv game, in which they have to improvise their lines and have them start with AIUEO (the Japanese order for the vowels).

The second part of the improv games is a challenge called "First and Last", in which Arashi have to incorporate three randomly picked lines (which are all famous quotes from comedians, anime, or even movies like Frozen), in a specific setting.

It's such an interesting and very funny episode. Maybe one day I will be able to translate Nino and Jun's sketch, which was by far the best of the three, but for now I bring you the AIUEO game and the Sakuraiba "First and Last" challenge! The reason, of course, is that I am a trashy shipper, and both scenes are just dripping with Sakuraiba love.

Please, enjoy c:

In the end, shipping aside, I'm very happy Aiba was paired up with Sho. I think Aiba needs someone like Nino or Sho to support him in improv (maybe with Nino the scene might have even worked till the end, who knows?). Sho could have worked with Ohno as well, probably. Nino is a wildcard, but being paired up with Jun gave the best result (they were GREAT! I laughed so hard!).

All in all, this episode was really one of the best AniShi. I hope you had fun reading this. :D

I was watching today's VSA, and there's a scene in the beginning that just made me laugh so hard, so I had to share it (the translation, I mean). The fact that Sakuraiba is precious in it, and that I'm such a trashy shipper has absolutely nothing to do with it, of course. Not that much, at least.

Can I just say? Sho looks so cute with that hair. And Aiba is gorgeous as ever. I just want to cry. Why do I have to have these two as favourites? /cries

So, I finally watched the performance of I'll be there on the last VS Arashi. Thoughts under the cut because the post is images heavy.
