And then I watched a video and was like "... ??? !!!!!!!"
Ohno is very convincing in movement! Like, I felt I should've been oogling Matsujun and Toma since they were the ones I knew... but Ohno. He totally had the presence to be a boyband gang leader and he dances very persuasively! I had no chance.

(... tmi?:)
What, there is no such thing on the interblag. :D

(I'm thinking that may have to be in the past tense pretty soon.)
There just no escaping it with these Asian guys! They're so tiny but so pretty! You were doomed from the start. (Sidenote: I always find it a little strange to read that Asian men are considered least desirable by the white majority on internet dating sites, considering the amount of love being thrown at them in my internet circles.)

See, it's your descriptions of the individual members that make me interested in learning more. I'm curious about Ohno's obsession with fishing and dorkiness and what elusive quality Aiba possesses to warrant "It's AIBA." Though I'm a little afraid that I'll never feel the same way about Matsujun again! I kind of like associating him with the first character I saw his as. XD

(EVERYONE IS CREEPED OUT BY JOHNNY'S, IT'S THE RULES.)
OH GOOD. Someone needs to write the rules to this as I honestly didn't know! I'm more creeped out by the idea of a bunch of corporate execs deciding who the girls of the world are going to lust after rather than any specific boyband though!

I've been having all these thoughts about making all sorts of posts re: Arashi and your nascent feelings have given me the extra impetus needed to put some plans into motion!
I'm very curious about these plans and hope they remain in motion! I feel like I'm just close enough to feel the tug of a RAINBOW blackhole and most of me wants to go get sucked in. Even though a little voice says YOU'LL DIIIIIE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR FREE TIME THEN?

(etc. There is really no good way to say that, because ASIA is GIGANTIC, and what I really mean is Japan, Korea, Taiwan, a little bit of China, perhaps, blah blah blah.)
I wish there was a name for just the portion of Asia that produces dramas! The term 'Asia' just encompasses too large a swath of the world, especially since I'm mostly talking about tiny islands and peninsulas. Or, yes, I agree. XD

I'm pretty good at sequestering myself when I know I'm likely to get unhappy.
I often feel like it's better for me to sequester myself to some degree, both to prevent my feelings from being stomped on and avoid doing the same to other people. It's why I usually don't belong to the main comm of any fandom and instead find a smaller character or pairing place to hang out. But sometimes my love for something is better expressed to NO ONE because I'm just taking enjoyment where I find it, whether that's dumping things I don't care for or snarking on it.

like when I made Mei-chan picspams and didn't realize that people took the show so much more seriously than I did
..Is it wrong that I immediately went "Ooh, snarky feelings!" and went over to folderdropping to read? XD I didn't think it was anything overly harsh but that's probably because I agreed. I really enjoyed Mei-chan but the love interests are like Sano and Nakatsu but lamer. But yes, I can see how you might have accidentally stepped on people's toes.

(What are YOUR nominations, anyway??)
HAHAHA, I was wondering if anyone was going to notice that! I sometimes feel ill-qualified to recommend dramas I like to strangers! Which is pretty ironic given that the posts with the most comments on my lj are all "HERE'S THE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS SHOW" pimp posts. :) If I support something, I sometimes feel responsible when someone doesn't mesh well with it. I should probably go your route and just suggest things I want to watch but haven't seen so I don't have that problem. I am not impulsive, I overthink these things way too much!

BALLS, I JUST WROTE YOU A HUGE LONG THING.
NO IT'S AWESOME. But I have the same reaction when I send things, like, "OH DAMN, I'M CONTRIBUTING SOMETHING HUGE TO THIS PERSON'S 'MUST REPLY TO' BOX" ...Like I feel with this reply. XD

Oh man, it's been a while since I had to scroll up to read the top of a comment while replying to it! (It makes me happy! We should stop apologizing!)

Yeah, Ohno in motion has so much presence, it's true. And so much talent, he just takes something and makes it his and makes it AWESOME.

Okay, so. I've been trying to write the descriptions for each band member (it is unclear why I am doing this at all but I frequently feel the need for a love outlet and I guess this is my current one for Arashi). I put Matsujun first, because he's got like twelve billion layers, at least how I see him. And I just wrote the most terrible description of Matsujun. SO. You are free to skip that part, because right afterward I'm putting a couple comments by other people in Arashi, so those are more CANON and shouldn't disrupt YOUR mind-Matsujun! (It is also possible I will end up deleting the entire sorry thing, I mean my own attempted description of him. SIGH.) I will not be offended if you don't read my own comments on Matsujun. (Whom I adore, to be clear.) Aiba is going to be SO MUCH EASIER. That is why I put Aiba last! : )

Yes, it's the JE corporation that is super creepy. I get creeped out by the "Juniors", who are the undebuted members, and they're all like twelve and back-up dance in concerts and such and are being GROOMED to be idols AS WE SPEAK. AAAAAHHHHHHHH.

I'd be interested to know what your nominations are, even if you don't actually make them! I also want to make people watch shows I love, but for the most part I have so many shows that I haven't seen and want to, that I'm not really up for much rewatching. (In person pimping to a friend, though, I'm totally up for that. "Hey, you should come over! LOOK, COFFEE PRINCE, HOW ABOUT THAT.")

I have other things to say about things in your comment, but mostly you can extrapolate them from what you already know from my OTHER comments, and I am tired and a little punchy. (I always say that, but by god, it's usually true. I think this is why I have trouble answering comments a lot of the time, because I usually put it off until right before bed and then I'm sleepy and say stupid shit.) Oh, I did also really enjoy Mei-chan! I had some reservations, but I found it to be crack-y fun. I just wish I had known how other people felt about it before posting those things so I could have at least tried to be more tactful. It's always weird when I realize how DIFFERENT people's feelings can be about the same thing. We're not always watching the same show! Oh, and reading your comment again, you could always nominate something quietly without pimping it, and then let the voters decide! Okay, that's all I've got. Post Comment!

SO. This should probably be going on your Matsujun post that I'm commenting on later, but I totally loved your description of him! I like that you have so many thoughts and really, I can see the fondness and it makes me happy! I'm so glad you decided you were okay with sharing it with the world!

so those are more CANON and shouldn't disrupt YOUR mind-Matsujun!
HAHAHA, I just like that there's a 'canon' for what Matsujun is like!

Yes, it's the JE corporation that is super creepy. I get creeped out by the "Juniors", who are the undebuted members, and they're all like twelve and back-up dance in concerts and such and are being GROOMED to be idols AS WE SPEAK. AAAAAHHHHHHHH.
AAAAAAHHHHHH! I'd heard the word 'Juniors' bandied about but I had no idea! That's suuuuper creepy. It's like like some weird Geisha/Maiko crossed with Menudo system.

(In person pimping to a friend, though, I'm totally up for that. "Hey, you should come over! LOOK, COFFEE PRINCE, HOW ABOUT THAT.")
Agreed, it's so much fun to force people to watch things in real life! I've done that a lot. I think I probably tend to want to rec things I've seen on dorama_watch just because then I know what I'm getting the comm into. ALSO, I want people to write fanfiction. That's, like, the dream. XD

We're not always watching the same show!
Ain't it the truth! I already felt a little bad that all of us were like "RAR YUKKI/MEI WEDDING WHAT NO" when discussing LoveSha and someone came to say "I didn't mind that..." But what can you do!

I'll let you know my noms even if I don't post them! Though I'll probably just end up nomming stuff so it's on the list and then seeing what the hell anyone decides to vote for! Including myself. Okay, POST COMMENT, YES!

Re: simultaneous comments, champions

[satoyan]

Oh good! I'm so glad the fondness came through! I wanted to write what I felt about him, but I also wanted it to be CLEAR that I love him. Because I DO. I love Matsujun!

OF COURSE THERE IS A CANON-MATSUJUN. HIS NAME IS MATSUMOTO JUN. HIS HAIR FWIPS GLORIOUSLY AND HE FREQUENTLY TAKES OFF HIS SHIRT.

JUNIORS, oh man. They start so young. On the one hand, I like thinking about tiny Arashi knowing each other even before getting together, but on the other hand, CREEPY. And then there's poor TOMA, who is still technically a Junior, since he hasn't debuted. IT'S JUST A WEIRD SYSTEM.

Oh man, fic. I haven't read ANY drama fic. I'm weird about fic, as in, for nearly every fandom I'm in I don't read any at ALL, but then there are a couple where I read a LOT. I'd have to try some drama fic before knowing which one it was!

Oh Love Shuffle. Yeah, I felt bad about that too. Although I don't think we were TOO bad, I liked the wedding, mostly, just not what led up to it. I feel worse that I commented and then never went back to the post and now it's a week later and I'm like SIGH. Hopefully with the next drama I'll do better! (Depending on what it is. I'm anxious to find out!)

ALSO YOUR ARASHI COMMENTS MAKE ME HAPPY. POST COMMENT.

Oh, is that what's up with TOMA? I knew he was part of the JE CORP OF PRETTY BOYS but I didn't know how he fit in there! DOES HE NEED TO DEBUT, EVERYONE ALREADY LOVES HIM?

Yeah, you should try fic sometime! I'm not at all like that though, usually I base my status of belonging to a fandom on whether I've gone and read some fic yet. D I read fic of everything! I would read more drama fic if I could locate it/IF IT EXISTS. XD
