How I Discovered ARASHI

Curious on how I became a fan of ARASHI? Have fun reading my ramblings..


For about 2 years in 2022 and 2024, I was a biiig fan of Ensemble Stars. Actually, Project SEKAI got me into Ensemble Stars and the whole "idol rhythm game" scene. But anyways, there is a character in the game named Arashi Narukami, and I drew her a few times because a friend of mine was a fan of her. I would look up pictures for reference, and while I do not remember exactly if and when, but I'm pretty sure that I came across a group picture of ARASHI the boyband while searching. So unfortunately, my very very first encounter with ARASHI was a negative one, because I was like "No, Arashi the EnStars character! Who are these guys??"


While I'm not 100% sure if I stumbled across ARASHI through those EnStars searches, the first time (that I know for sure) I encountered ARASHI was in November 2023, when I came across a 3-hour VOD from this channel called The Jaboody Show where these guys reacted to all these Japanese commercials. And honestly, I watched the video mainly to look for some good-lookin' guys to simp for. I was getting tired of 2D boys, so it was high time I start simping for some 3D boys lol. And wouldn't you know, at around the 20-minute mark...

My Quest For ARASHI Content Continues

What a beautiful man
What a beautiful man

After discovering ARASHI in September of last year, it's high time I start to utilize the power of LiveJournal and consume some subbed ARASHI content. While this world unbeknownst to me until now is a labyrinth of masterlists and Mega links, I will not give up. I will not surrender. I will persevere in my ultimate quest to watch some ARASHI subs here and there. To fulfill my not-so lifelong dream of gracing my retinas with Nino's image in every second I can get.

Also, I have to make an entry to join some of these communities. That's why I'm making this post. I had no idea what LiveJournal was until now so gimme a break will ya?

If you wanna know about me, some things I like include Pokemon and Formula 1. It's very apparent, but I really like Kazunari Ninomiya.
