Notes From Japan
My internet at my apartment is STILL not working, and I`m about ready to throw my computer across the room, but I can`t stand to stay away from my blogs for this long, so I`m here updating from the internet cafe again.
First, I just want to say that since going to the KAT-TUN concert, the only thing that`s been on my mind is how I can get myself to another one. After seeing them so close and in person, it`s hard to content myself with just looking at their pictures and videos. I must go to another concert!!!
And now some Johnny`s notes from Japan that I haven`t shared yet.
-I mentioned in my Japan journal that I helped at an English language retreat for high schoolers. Well, we played a game at the beginning where we (the English teachers) shared fun facts about ourselves, and one of mine was that I`m a fan of KAT-TUN and Arashi. This instantly made me very popular among the girls. They were all coming up to me and asking me about my favorite songs, favorite guys, etc. One girl had even gone to one of the concerts in Ishikawa the day after the one that I went to!
-Arashi is absolutely everywhere here. I can hardly turn on my TV without seeing a commercial or show with one or all of them in it, their AU advertisements are in most of the trains, and Matsujun is on just about every other vending machine. Japan is like Arashi paradise for a fangirl like me!
-On a similar note, I was walking by a cell phone store, and I happened to notice that Arashi was on the cover of the AU catalogs. I asked the salesperson if they were free (they were), and she kindly offered me the English language version of the catalog (which didn`t feature Arashi). Of course, I politely declined and ran off with my pretty Japanese language catalog.
-I am really enjoying being able to watch Johnny`s TV shows right in my own apartment on my own TV. Yesterday, I watched Cartoon KAT-TUN. By `watched` I mostly mean `squealed over each and every one of Jin`s adorable facial expressions`. Lol. They played this Russian Roulette-type game that involved punching holes in cards. They could choose to punch 1-3 holes each turn. Of course, Jin chose to do 3 every time. Kame was next after him, so he always had to choose 3 to or risk looking less brave than Jin. Once, towards the end, he started to do only 2, and Jin teased him, so he ended up doing 3. So cute!
-Today I watched Arashi on Utaban. Their performance of Truth was awesome!
