*wipes off the three-year old dust from this journal*
Hello everyone! So yeah, I am finally back in this little writing space of mine. Hisashiburiiiiii! ♥
Firstly, I am having so much nostalgic feels right now. Surely, there were a lot of things that happened during those years, both in real life and in the fandom. A lot of people came in and went away too. For one, the once-super stressed college student finally got her degree years ago, got into her first job, fulfilled her dream to go on a trip to Japan just this spring (will post a detailed entry about that soon) and later this summer, she will be moving to Sydney to fulfill yet another dream. Time flies so fast indeed.
I do not know if my f-list is still blogging here in LJ or what but, I hope to regain those precious connections and meet friends with this blog revival. I somewhat expect that I need this little space to be my thought outlet once I set out my own life overseas in the months to come. Expect more blabbing and other whatnots to come your way. And I miss receiving postcards from you all.
So yeah, the fandom brought us to a lot of rollercoaster-like ups and downs. There are times when it bombards me with a lot of feels on a damn extreme range that it exhausts me so bad. At one point, it makes you high with so much happiness (hello Friday and Shuukan Josei saga) and makes you frustrated on the other (damn J, can I just slap your manager or whoever selects your projects because you play almost the same roles all these years). Honestly, following them for this long makes me tired too. So yeah, until he gives me a concrete logical answer other than 'daijoubu desu' and she finally breaks her silence, I am on a wait-and-see mode.
Anyways, you can also catch me here at my twitter and tumblr acccounts. So that's it for now. Mata ne.

The best new year ever!
Jan. 1st, 2012 03:07 amGosh, my heart is overflowing with so much happiness I can't even ....
This was the best new year I ever had. Thank you NHK-san!!!!!!!!! また来年も!
I'll properly react on the whole Kouhaku thing when I finished my downloads. Geez, even if it's frickin' 30gb, I am ready to slay my HDD just to see them again. Again, congratulations to Mao-chan and the Red Team!!!!!!!!!!
Happy New Year everyone!

Maotsujun for New Year? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Oct. 19th, 2011 05:24 pmI somewhat predicted this will happen but I was not giving it a long shot
Thank you NHK! You didn't disappoint me!
It's been a long two year wait to see them together again on TV. *cries*

Happy birthday Matsumoto Jun!
Aug. 30th, 2011 12:04 amThis has been an obligatory post every year like what I always do with the natal days of these two dorks and since it's almost the time in Japan, let me include this greeting post with lines that Jun said himself in some recent magazine interview lately.

With that, I'm wishing the half of my OTP a happy happy 28th birthday. I hope the Kokuritsu concerts go welldespite the typhoon warnings including that butai he has to perform this October. Finally, I hope he's spending this special day with the person he really loves. :P
It's such a wonderful atmosphere when I can tell my feelings to the one I love.
Recently, I've been getting that vibe from books, magazines, TV, radio and other stuff, so because of that, right now, I'm thinking if there's that kind of atmosphere when I can tell my feelings unabashedly to the person I love. While thoughts of not telling it completely still continue, I am drawn to that kind of thing and that makes me warm inside.
With that, I'm wishing the half of my OTP a happy happy 28th birthday. I hope the Kokuritsu concerts go well
VS Arashi 08.25.2011 with Kaga Mariko
Aug. 26th, 2011 03:11 amYeah, I am not an avid fan of this game show but since I heard Kaede-sama is appearing in this week's episode, I made a mental note not to miss it this time. True enough, it was very interesting. Jun's shocked face says it all

Otsukaresama deshita, Mao-chan!!!
Aug. 23rd, 2011 11:26 pmGot this from an NHK staff tweet.
Mao-chan just had her Ohisama crank up tonight at around 8PM JST. Tweets also said Kengo Kora teared for a bit. :)
I expect news coverage for this by tomorrow
So yeah, it took at most three months after broadcast before NHK realized that Mao's asadora badly needs a theme song to make everything complete. So yeah, for all those Ohisama fans out there, here's the kanji and romaji lyrics of this totally touching song. I'll translate this later and edit this post after I finish some tasks. :)
EDIT: English translations are up. Feel free to point out my mistakes since I finished this around past midnight and I was already half-asleep *yawn*:|
( kanji/romajilyrics here + translations later )

2011 CM talent fee ranking
Jul. 6th, 2011 11:16 pmHello lovelies!
I'm pretty much busy with RL now but yeah, since I found this interesting, I thought I might just share this to all of you.
This was from Josei Jishin btw.
( It was a 5 million yen difference. Now who's richer between Jun and Mao in terms of CM fee? )

VS Arashi 05.05.2011 Jun & Shun
May. 5th, 2011 11:50 pmAt the time of the filming, they don't know who will be their plus-one guest, hence they were surprised to see Shun joining them.
Jun: Honestly, I somewhat predicted it...
Jun: He might be coming in time for Gaku's promotions...
Shun: *smirk*
Shun: Yes. Today, I came for that. *smiles*
He seems to keep tab on each of his friends' upcoming movie releases. How about the other one? LOL
P.S. For a split-second, I saw Masami's face in VS Arashi. Miracle. LOL
THIS REALLY MADE MY DAY.
May. 5th, 2011 06:35 pmJun and Mao in a medical drama, anyone? LOL
Credit to the ever amaziiiiiiiiiiiiing tumblr over here. Seriously, I can't take off my eyes from it since four hours ago. It's just sooo......*melts*
