Kino and I are doing an exchange of posts! The topic: top five favorites in order but only accurate to this one day of choosing so no pressure..... Arashi solos! By member. <3

Kino's post!

Any solo they've performed in concert counts. For me, I am choosing ONLY by the song. If I did it by performance, it'd be a completely different list, and the same goes for if I did it by song and performance(s) added together.

(I fully expect not all of the links will work, but you can google as well as I can and probably better. I was far too lazy to make the covers the same size or anything classy like that.)

If this were on tumblr and I thought I could get anyone to do it, I'd tag people, so... if you have any inclination to do this yourself, please do so and link me to it!!! <3<3

I consider ALL of these songs (and more, fjldksfjkals, so hard to choose!) treasures, and I will keep ALL of them forever. ♥♥♥♥♥

Here are some caps of Arashi things I've watched in the last week(-ish)!

In watching order, roughly, and just whatever caps I happened to take. The unfinished ones at the bottom are ones I'm still in the middle of watching. <3 (I am really not very good at watching things straight through, even when I adore the thing. It gets so I watch things over several days sometimes, but it works for me.)

ARASHI.

Jun and Ohno run around a castle town to try and win their princess's heart! ( Mago Mago Arashi 70, 2006.09.02, 14 capsCollapse )

Arashi work in a ryokan and provide A++ hospitality to their guests! (WHERE ARE MY CAPS OF AIBA AND MOMOCLO; I KNOW I HAD SOME.) ( Arashi ni Shiyagare SP, 2015.01.01, 13 capsCollapse )

The finale of the air band competition, and the premiere of Fight Song! ( G no Arashi 28, 2006.04.19, 12 capsCollapse )

Arashi present up-and-coming innovations for 2015 while looking ridiculously beautiful! ( 2015 Sakidori Hakurankai Arashi Yohou, 2015.01.03, 41 capsCollapse )

Nino and Ohno become grandkids, ride around in a horse-drawn trolley, and make food of dubious quality! (Also Nino wears a tank top all episode so there are lots of caps with no purpose other than that.) ( Mago Mago Arashi 73, 2006.09.23, 33 capsCollapse )

An adaptation of an Agatha Christie book I love; a television show in which there can be fifteen people on-screen and I still stare at one small idol off to the side! ( UNFINISHED, Orient Kyuukou Satsujin Jiken SP part one, 2015.01.11, 4 capsCollapse )

Arashi play games and have faces! ( UNFINISHED, VS Arashi SP, 2015.01.03, 10 capsCollapse )

THE END.

Also today I went to Goodwill and in the foreign language section I found a Japanese magazine from 2000 and inside are pictures of Arashi I've never seen before (I don't think??) and it has a five member crosstalk and a whole section where they answer all these questions and IT COST ME 99 CENTS AND I ALMOST CRIED IN GOODWILL, CRIED OF GREAT JOY. The end. ♥

IT'S MY FIVE YEAR ARASHI ANNIVERSARY. Five years ago today, I clicked on the wrong video on youtube and opened up Arashi's Sakura Sake pv. I love them more than ever. ♥♥♥

In celebration, some caps of a Mago I watched recently! (... Yes, I'm still working my way through Mago. I just love it so much, and it's not like it's going anywhere. :D)

Mago Mago Arashi #68, where Nino and Sho go make summer vacation memories with their grandparents for the day! Lots of fun and skin and glorious faces. <3<3

AND NOW I'M GOING TO GO EAT CHOCOLATE CAKE ON MY ARASHI PLATE. (HAVE I MENTIONED I HAVE AN ARASHI PLATE BECAUSE I HAVE AN ARASHI PLATE AND I'M GOING TO EAT CHOCOLATE CAKE OFF OF IT NOW.)

My dear friend Kino's having a rough day. It's Jun month.

IMPROMPTU JUN PICSPAM.

After thinking about it a lot, I made my top ten lists as discussed in my last post! Before I start, here is a knock on wood that there IS an Arafes 2013, and here is another that there is ALSO a dvd of it. Sometimes it feels like wanting things too much leads to them not happening, so I will also stop here and take a breath and calm down a little and remember I don't actually have any control over these things. :D

OKAY HERE WE GO, ENOUGH PRETENDING TO BE OBJECTIVE.
