i am pulling yet another all nighter to finish yet another thing i procrastinated on.
and sketch just came up on my playlist.

arashi, thank you for everything you represent to me.
i've neglected you a bit lately because i almost can't even face you, but the truth is, i've been going through some rough personal times, and when i start listening to your songs, they really take me somewhere happier. :)  somewhere simpler and more peaceful and more fun.
thank you for all you represent.  thank you for all the hard work you've put into that.  thank you for so much.  i don't care what other people say about idols being meaningless and how idols are just 'tools.'  if you are tools you are surely the most wonderful tools ever.  you work so hard and put up with a lot and it really matters.  it matters a lot to me right now.

gah, that song always makes me emotional. reminds me of every time i've ever listened to an arashi song, and what it means to me to be young and to live my life to the fullest, of hopes and dreams and thrills.  arashi has inspired me a lot.

long live. ♥

This isn't really about the Five.  This is about you.
It's a little off-topic maybe so forgive me for posting it to a group.
I've been sort of lurking about the internet again lately since school ended, and the Arashi Fandom has really reminded me of something:  my fandom is so full of hearts and sparkles and rainbows and crack and stars and love it almost kind of hurts.♥♥♥

And really aren't we all that way because of Arashi's lead?  Even the way Captain leads is by following, sort of, by not being selfish or self-centered and thinking of the rest of the group and allowing them to do what they need to.  And so most of the fandom really seems to be thinking about Arashi and each other.  I've been a little out-of-touch the past few months, so if there has been some fandom wank it's pretty much escaped my eyes, but even so most of what I find, wherever I look, is a ton of really wonderful, caring, cooperative fans.

Honestly, bless all the fandom projects and fandom love and fandom buddies and fanart. :3  And yes, even the fanfics, because even though they exaggerate, don't you love how they're generally built on that member-ai OT5 Arashi Unity vibe that everyone loves in the first place? (and yes, we know they're fiction. xD)

No fandom is perfect.  But as I watch this one I think there's generally a tremendous amount of care and respect within this fandom.  A lot of people have devoted a lot of hard work to maintaining the fandom, too, and I think we're all truly grateful to all of them... the uploaders and mods and subbers and translators.  Thank you guys so, so much. :)  May we all continue to peacefully coexist, and respect, and care, and fangirl together. :)

Here's to ten wonderful years of Arashi and ten or infinity more. :)

Uwah. x) that's all the waxing poetic I can do about fandom right now.  But seriously.  You all rock. :3 I feel like I've said this a THOUSAND times (probably because I have) but I wouldn't say it (again... and again...) if I didn't think it needed saying.  This is an AWESOME fandom and it just makes me SO HAPPY I have to tell people. :)

I am not perfectly on time since OMG MONDAY JUST ENDED in Japan.  Oh well.

Dear lovely, sexy, funny, human, charming, charismatic, talented boys of Arashi:

thanks for existing the way you do.

thanks for the tireless enthusiasm you bring to your exhausting work.

thanks for always working your best for the fans.

thanks for always making me smile.

I have gained so much as a person from knowing your fans.  Knowing about you and what kind of people you are has inspired me and made me laugh.  I laugh because of you at least once a day.  On the days when I laugh one or two times in an entire day, and I laugh thanks to you, I have to wonder how dull and colorless my day would be without you.

You encourage me to appreciate everyone for who they are; to be kind and loving like you five are to each other; to relax and just be a dork sometimes; to have fun; to laugh; to always work my hardest, and not give up even when it's so hard to keep trying!!  I'm so thankful for the example you five have set.

You've worked so hard for the past nine years, setting new goals and reaching new milestones, being on display 24/7 and barely getting any time off.  Happy anniversary.  You absolutely deserve to be reaching the top.  I'm so happy and excited for you, to see your dreams come true!  I'm happy and proud that I'm able to support you in this, in any way. 

So, all of that said,

Dear Arashi,

Thank you.

ありがとう。

if you'll allow me I need a moment to flail.

I EFFING LOVE THIS MAN.

HE'S GORGEOUS AND REFINED WITHOUT BEING ALOOF OR TOO GIRLY.

HE'S INTELLIGENT

HE'S GOOD NATURED

HE HAS AN ADORABLE SENSE OF HUMOR

I LOVE HIS LAUGH

HIS LIPS ARE GODLY

HIS EYES KILL ME

I LOVE HIS PHYSIQUE

HIS NOSE IS ADORABLE AND SO ARE HIS EYBROWS AND HIS FOREHEAD AND BASICALLY HIS WHOLE FACE.

I LOOOOOVE HIS VOICE WHEN HE'S SPEAKING.  I LOOOOOOOVE IT.  I LOVE HIS VOICE WHEN HE'S RAPPING.  I ALSO REALLY LIKE HIS UNIQUE, HUSKY VOICE WHEN HE'S SINGING AND I'M REALLY, REALLY PICKY ABOUT COMPLEMENTING PEOPLE'S SINGING BUT HE PASSES.

I love his wit, he always looks classy, he's full of leadership qualities, the way he fails at things is adorable and he knows how to make fun of himself (in a good way).  He cares about his family, he's very outgoing and has tons of friends (even with normal people! orz In his college days!), he loves to travel, he always tries his hardest.  He's mature, knows how to take charge and organize things, but doesn't always demand the spotlight.

He's perfect.

If he has any flaws they're minor and not enough to bother me in the least.  I don't know what could bother me about him.

He's like my definition of the perfect man, physically personified.

This has been looping in my head obsessively and it's only been getting worse of late ♥♥♥♥♥♥

I needed to get it out. ♥ 

YES.  WE ARE A KILOGROUP.

hahahah. or something.

Everyone, look here:

Yay

as of 1:50 PM, us central time (GMT-5).

May the support for our lovely Stormy Boys continue to grow; let's cause a storm in the world!

Makiokose, A-RA-SHI, A-RA-SHI, FOR DREAM!

my wonderful fellow Arashians, you're all so charming. love you all~
