Okay. I’m going to do it! Or at least I’m going to try.
Tomorrow, I hope to see the last concert of Arashi’s tour. Yes, it’s a lot of money. Yes, I should probably be spending tomorrow buying Christmas presents for my family like I planned. But, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me, I really really want to go, and I still have a week to worry about the presents.
Now, there is a chance that there will be no tickets available by tomorrow. There’s also a chance that if tickets are available, their prices will be marked down since it’s the day of the concert and they want to get them sold.
Either way, I’ve made up my mind to head off to Tokyo tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.
In the mean time, some commentary of the snarky type.
99. No offense intended, but pink silk pajamas plus twirling around on roller skates while singing is one of the most flamingly gay thing I’ve ever seen.
98. It’s a good song. I just wish SMAP could sing better. Reviewing their discography for this was painful to the ears.
96. Most unintentionally hilarious PV ever. Every time the chorus starts and Yamapi goes into super exaggerated and dramatic ass kicking mode, I just laugh and laugh.
94. This PV, in contrast, is intentionally hilarious.
92. Can’t stop marveling at how big Matsujun’s hair is.
91. This PV succeeds where Yamapi’s failed: Being Badass.
So, I kind of doubt anyone reads this anymore since I haven’t updated in so long, but just in case someone does, this is me letting you know that I’m not dead and I haven’t started hating Johnny’s or anything.
In fact, currently I am having a serious dilemma. To see Arashi this weekend or not to see Arashi this weekend. Reasons to see them being that I love them to death and this will probably be my only chance to do so. Reason not to see them being that the very cheapest nosebleed section seats, too far from the stage to even have a hope of telling who is who, are going for over $500. Sort of decent seats are more like $1000. That is freaking ridiculous but I really want to see them but I don’t know if it would be worth that kind of money just to sit so far away it’s not like I could really see them. Why did they have to get so darn popular when I happen to be in Japan? It’s both a curse and a blessing I suppose. I’m happy for them, but sad for me and the price of concert tickets.
The other news is that I’ve been having fun with a little “Top 100 favorite songs” video project over at my other blog and the female idol side of things, so I’ve decided to do the same for my 100 favorite Johnny’s songs. I’ve already figured out the list, and while there is a lot of KAT-TUN and Arashi, especially at the top, there are plenty of songs from other groups as well. Look forward to it!
