Friends

Merry Christmas, minna!



A tiger T-shirt is instantaneous proof that you've been to the zoo, isn't it?

I just read about this on Johnnys-web and checked to see if anyone had written about it yet here. Looks like it hasn't been mentioned yet, so I thought I'd post :D

Nino will be in ANOTHER movie! This one comes out next year on October 1st.
The official website is here..
http://ohoku.jp/

This movie is called 大奥 (Ohoku), but it's not the normal 大奥 story that you might be thinking of. In this version, the roles of men and women are reversed. The Shogun in a woman and is surrounded by a group of 3,000 men. Nino will be playing the staring role of a young samurai who enters the Ohoku of the Shogun,　played by Shibasaki Kou.

This is just a summary based on reading the website, but if anyone would like a translation of the synopsis or the comments by Nino and Shibasaki Kou, I'd be happy to translate them.
Edit: As requested, I translated the movie synopsis, Nino and Shibasaki Kou's comments and the description of Nino's character.
It's a rough translation, but hopefully makes sense, hehe.
( Translations under the cut... )

Just thought I'd post this while I'm still super excited about another Nino staring role~!!

re_markable fansubs is here with another new video!

Since it's the 24th in Japan, I'm posting this now.

[Scans] PINKY 10/2 - ARASHI  
6 pages HQ [HERE] Sexy aiba

Recently, my sister went to Japan to see Arashi at Tokyo Dome, and bought a handful of shop photos which she's let me scan in and share! There's a whole mishmash, including the 5x10 photo shoot, Everything PV, My Girl PV, and their 2008 kokuritsu performance.

You can download them all from MU here (45 total, 1000x1400, 720 dpi, 45.5 MB .zip file) or check out this post for previews, other JE groups, and resized downloads. Hope they are of use to you!

I should be working on the H Arashi articles when I came across these wonderful scans provided by jamerei instead. The people at TV Fan sit down with the members of Arashi for individual interviews.

Translation of Non-no January 2010, the Ohmiya bit. :) I apologize for the mistakes. *________* "All I want for Christmas is......tape and a baby carrier!?"

Here's another episode of My Girl! Yay! More of Koharu-chan's epic cuteness lies in wait. ^_^

I titled this post "Notes of Doom" out of habit. The truth is...

...there are no notes...

*gasp* O_o

We just couldn't find anything that we thought needed any further explanation. So... if you have any questions, please ask!

^_^ Enjoy!
