Why Arashi is the beginning of everything (for me)

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. They are my comfort afterall.

So, Arashi, you asked what new beginnings are there in April. Well, here it is! The start of my 19th year. The start of this blog! Yoroshiku!

I'M AN ARASHI FANCLUB MEMBER!!!

Image
So it's official. I'm their fanclub member. I don't know what to feel. It just seems so surreal. Am I dreaming?   I have been Arashi's fan for two and a half years, and during this time, just thinking about joining their fanclub was something of a long-distance dream. Because it would've been a step closer to seeing Arashi live. Joining their fanclub means I get a chance at balloting their concert tickets. And since I'm going to Hakkaido, Japan, this October, it will become my first time in Japan, which means I might get more opportunities to go to other places in Japan in the future. Not that it's that simple because I still need to compete with 1.9 million other fanclub members, but I'm getting nearer, and that alone gives me hope. I actually thought joining their fanclub was something impossible since you have to have a Japan address, which literally means you have to live in Japan, in order to have a chance to join. And it was all thanks to my

Album Thoughts: ARASHI / Japonism

Image
Title: Japonism Artist: 嵐 Release date: 2015.10.21 You know what Arashi is good at with their albums every year? Getting better and better with one after the other. And this year is no exception. They once again release an album filled with absolute amazingness. And, well, seeing as it sold over 820,000 copies in its first week, what else do you want me to say? But really, this album is gold, I'm telling you. The theme, the outlook, the content and everything is on point. When it was first announced that the album was to be called Japonism , I knew straight away that it's going to be very interesting. And Ohno and Nino are the star vocalists here. They sound so good in this album. This year Arashi focuses on the theme of 'Japan' and 'Japan viewed from the outside' and something like that. And puts out new and fresh sound for people to hear. They released three versions of this album. All worth buying of course. Darn it, they know how to sell! Oh wells,

Album Thoughts: ARASHI / Are You Happy?

Image
Title: Are You Happy? Artist: 嵐 Release date: 2016.10.26 Okay, I disappeared again. I'm sorry, it's life. But Arashi gave me motivation to write again. And who would miss an opportunity to talk about Arashi's album of 2016! First of all, Happy New Year! I know I'm late into saying this but, let's hope 2017 will be a year full of greatness. Even though we won't because Trump is new POTUS and this world is ending.  2016 was a year full of many ups and downs. And I felt like there were more negative things that have happened than positive things. You know, what's with the UK unexpectedly changing PMs and the US getting a new president. And not just the whole world is going apeshit right now. The Japanese entertainment industry is crashing too. So many things have happened. What's with SMAP disbanding. Actors and actresses having scandals... leaving the industry... passing away even... yeah you know what I'm talking about. But great achievements
