Sakura Storm

SPOILERS ALERT! (Okay, just a little bit) Last night, I became one of the many people who have already seen the new Avengers movie ' Avengers: Age of Ultron '. I don't know about your country, but in Hong Kong, we have the privilege of having the movie released here first (XD), earlier than the US. Anyway, last night my family and I went to the cinemas after our long day of work, to see this movie that we were all just  dying to watch. I LOVE THE AVENGERS! Before we saw this movie, everywhere in Hong Kong were just full of Avengers-related things. Like, everywhere. Avengers models in shopping malls. Avengers models in Seven Eleven. Avengers posters in MTR. Trailers being played on big screens. Colleagues constantly talked about how they have already seen the movie (quick!) while trying not to spoil it. We have this massive poster in our home. We have collected two Avengers models. We just love it. My whole family. Actually, anything MARVEL my siblings and I would

My birthday happened 2 weeks and 2 days ago. And today I saw this:   Guys, if that is a birthday message for me, arigatou!!!! This video look like it was filmed around the time of their single「Sakura」, so I'm not sure if I even should say this is belated or early. But thanks guys! And Oh-chan, I would totally spend my birthday with you! You're such a flirt. Damn it. Don't do that to me, Ohno! God! (Also, I'm breaking JE laws for posting this video here, but it's not as if they care anyways.)

ayumi hamasaki is pretty random these days. She probably doesn't even know what to do with herself anymore. She's so random she don't even know where she's going anymore. Her music is random. Her career is going nowhere. Her personal life is also probably going nowhere. But no matter how random she gets, it cannot get any random than this: When I first read the news on this, I thought it was some kind of joke. I mean, I already said she's random, so no matter what she does these days, it doesn't really surprise me anymore, but this is just... so weird. And then when the fact that this is for real finally hit me, I was just thinking "Wow, bitch must be desperate". This is apparently about the Japan Ministry of Justice forming a group of celebrities who helps the rehabilitation of prisoners (like real prisoners) in correctional facilities by entertaining them and giving them lectures on their life experiences (something like that), and calling

ALOHA!!! I finally got it!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!!     I am so happy right now, I finally recieved my own copy of Arashi's BLAST in Hawaii DVD today. Another addition to my Arashi collection. Speaking of my collection, I'm thinking of doing a post about all the things I collected from Arashi. I'm still collecting, of course. They have so much stuff! That will keep me busy for a long time. Arashi, what are you doing to me??? My bank is bleeding! But it's all worth it. XD Who says money can't buy happiness? It totally can.   Now excuse me, I have a concert to watch.

If you have read my older posts, you would've realised that I'm quite biased. And I write based on my opinions (that are based on facts) , so try not to take it too seriously. I know everyone has different music tastes, so I respect that, so if you get offended, note that I didn't mean to offend you, okay? So I want to write about an interesting topic that somehow keeps coming up. It is the endless debate of which is better between Japanese pop music and Korean pop music that people just love to talk about, for some reason. So I want to settle it once and for all, to end this endless comparison between the two music genres. Before I start, I want to tell you a fact, okay. "J-Pop" was named by their own Japanese people to separate their own pop music from normal pop music. "K-Pop" was named because Korean people  copied off of J-Pop to separate their own. Okay? Got that? Let's start. I already said I grew up with Japanese stuff, but J-Pop di

"I always feel like I'm not doing anything particularly significant, so I never think to myself, "I did this, aren't I amazing!?" I don't think about how "It's so amazing that we held shows in Hawaii!" either. Just "Thank you very much", Thank you for letting us do this", I guess... It's the fans who are always raising us up, who are offering us their support, I think. I mean, as we get older it feels more and more embarrassing to be on television. Even when people scream for us, it makes me think, "No, I'm an old man now", "But thank you", because they're so considerate of our feelings."   - Ohno Satoshi, ARASHI BLAST in Hawaii ------------------------------------ Ah, don't you just love his humility. Thank you, Ohno, us fans love you too!! ------------------------------------ Okay, to be honest, even though I'm only 19 years old, I feel OLD. Like too much life experiences

When I read the news that Death Note is going to have a drama version, the first thing that came into my mind was "Crap, this is going to be disastrous". I have read the whole manga series and the anime is my childhood, I've rewatched it over ten times. I've seen all the live-action movies. It was all good. Until this came up. I don't want to make quick assumptions, but it's just that since it's part of my childhood, I don't want it to be ruined, if the drama will turn out bad. The live-action movies were good, they had good casting. So I'm just thinking, who else can pull off the characters well. PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE JOHNNY'S. I have this extreme hatred towards Johnny's (except Arashi) just because they are pretty shit. So I don't want Johnny's to be mixing in with Death Note. That is just... no. If that happens this world is messed up. Okay it already is. What I'm trying to say is please let the drama be goo

Title:「GUTS!」 Artist: 嵐 (ARASHI) Release date: 2014.04.30 Last year, Arashi released their single, GUTS! , and the song became quite popular in Japan. It was used as the theme song for Nino's drama,「弱くても勝てます」.  It was also the first single they released after I became a fan. You know how ayumi hamasaki doesn't really release singles anymore? And I got very bored, so having an artist I newly liked release a single was like new stuff to me. At the time I was still in England, and they don't sell Asian stuff in music stores there and I also don't shop online, so I got depressed I couldn't buy the single. Well, before I was already depressed all the time because I couldn't buy ayu's releases. LOL. Anyway, I really like GUTS! . You get to see Arashi looking like teachers and being all positive and happy and encouraging. I really like the choreography to it as well. Every time I listen to this song I just can't help but dance to it. It is a fun song.

This is my true life experience. And I'm going to share it. Say I'm just reminiscing back down memory lane. So... Have you ever had friends, then loose them after you took on separate life paths? This is what I have been experiencing my whole life. Sad isn't it? And I couldn't do anything about it. I can't even remember if I had friends before I moved to England. I was 8 years old at the time. Let's say I did. But then I moved away, so we definitely lost contact then. In primary school in England, I had a lot of friends. I remember I had this girl friends group, and we even hung out with younger years as well. I was voted as the "house captain" and I was really popular in that school. I would also visit my friends' houses. I was happy . But then the few months before I were to graduate from the school, the friends group I had somehow split up, and my two best friends ended up hanging out with the bitch of our year group (I know, right), so

Title:「A ONE」 Artist: 浜崎あゆみ Release date: 2015.04.08 Again not exactly a review, just my thoughts and opinions. Is it a coincidence her debut day is also my birthday? God, ayu. To me, April 8 is her debut day. And I always thought that. And then I remember it's also my birthday. Sigh. Anyway, I want to put down my thoughts on her album, A ONE , that just came out. It's not a surprise or I should say, it's even obvious that ayumi hamasaki has been lazy on her albums these days. And this is like, not my opinion, it's a fact. For an artist that has been going for 17 years, I have to give her credit. But for an artist that started out so good to flop like this is like a slap in the face. Not to the fans. But to the artist herself. In the years I've followed both ayu and Arashi, I saw that since ayu began to flop, Arashi began to rise. Like my two fandoms are having some kind of battle or something. But that's just me being weird, cause ayu and Arashi don&

Okay, despite what the title says, it is not as pervy as you think. And I say "Asian" cause Western men in their 30's are like, look like they are much older, so I'm not even gonna go there. But this strange thought came up. So I want to ask you a question. Do you think Arashi members has changed since they reached their 30's? I'm serious. I have a 30-year-old brother, and I think he's having some kind of mid-life crisis or something. Ayumi Hamasaki is 36 and Arashi members are 31-34, so I basically idolise these kind of people. And despite the age difference, I get along with that brother of mine, in a mature way as well. I have another brother and sister, both in their twenties. I basically also hang out with my parents' friends and our older relatives. I've worked in an elderly care home before, and basically hung out with all of these oldies. So I'm not like being immature and making things up. I'm used to older people. Okay?

Title:「ウロボロス〜この愛こそ、正義。」 Run time: 2015.01.16 - 03.20, Friday 10pm I just finished this drama and I find it worth mentioning. I won't say this is a review, it's just my thoughts and opinions. I already said that I'm a slack so I can't be bothered to go on a long detailed description on what the drama is about. But basically, it's about these two boys, Ikuo Ryuusaki and Danno Tatsuya, who saw their teacher from their orphanage, Yuiko-sensei, murdered by some powerful unknown, and spends 20 years to rise their own ranks in society in order to track down whoever killed their beloved teacher and bring justice to her. But while secrets begins to unfold, well, tragedies strikes. It stars Ikuta Toma as Ryusaaki and Oguri Shun as Tatsuya. (Yep, my boys) And in a story with two male leads, of course, there will be a female lead. But she don't interest me so I'm not even gonna. Anyway, I found the cast, the acting performances, the script, the directing, th

When I heard Nina Dobrev was leaving The Vampire Diaries, I was like, "WHAT?", like all the other people did when they heard the news. The Vampire Diaries has been with me since my early teenage days. I've read all of the books. Followed up every episodes of the television series. And then this came, and it was like "BAM!", all hell let loose. Like "Noooooo! Elena!!!! Don't go!!!!" Okay, imagine The Vampire Dairies without Elena. Okay, how about this. Imagine a story without its main character. And not just any story. A story that has been going for 5-6 years, probably even more (I'm lazy to look it up). But the worst thing is? The ridonkulous reason. This is why interwork relationships never works out. Have you seen what happened with ayumi hamasaki and Maro?? Or Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone?? NO. So unprofessional. Nina may have felt awkward working with her ex and co-star Ian, but it is not an excuse to suddenly just be like

I had English friends. I had American friends. I had French friends. I had Polish friends. I had Nepalese friends. I HAVE Chinese friends. And I miss hanging around with them. I miss having a friends group. I miss having FRIENDS. I've lived in England for 10 years. Okay? 10 YEARS. Then I moved back to Hong Kong, and I ended up only having those few friends who bothers contacting me on facebook once in a while. I have colleagues here in HK, okay. But we only hang out as COLLEAGUES. My life. And I'm bragging about it on my blog. Oh my god. You know, when I was in England, I endlessly complain about how I want to leave the hell hole. I have left the bloody hell hole. But found myself in another, even worst, hell hole. So I want to go back now. I miss our house. I miss the big tree outside our house. I miss our garden with the ant hole. I miss the park near our house. I miss our noisy neighbours. I miss talking in English everywhere I go. I miss everything about my old

So it happened. I turned 19 three days ago. I am not going to go on a long drafted detail about how I became a fan of Arashi, because it's one hell of a long story. (You can read about it here ). I began liking them in early 2014, when I was still studying Health and Social Care in England. And since then, my life has changed. Before, I used to indulge on an endless fantasy on ayumi hamasaki, have some kind of mental breakdown problems, and basically going nowhere in my life (I still am). My views, opinions and thoughts have all been effected by Arashi. My hobby, time and money mostly are spent on them. They give me happiness, joy, entertainment, love, courage, friendship and family. Even at my lowest points. They are constantly there for me. And from Arashi, I have learnt many new things. It can be other artists/entertainers. It can be new knowledge in general. So, I am very grateful that they came into my life. Made me healthier. And I never regreted buying their releases. Th
