Happy Birthday to Shoooooo!

[topazera]

Okay, so, I'm on a quest to celebrate all the Arashi birthdays this year. Well, "this year" starting from Ohno's. It was kind of wearing me out to resize and color caps (yet I loved making the banner) so this time I thought I could try a win/win solution: icons! They are tiny and you can take them home with you if you so choose! ~Genius!~ ...I would have tried to do 28 of them but I just thought of that now. XD

Happy 28th Birthday, Sho-kun!


Shooooo. I think my icons say most of what I would about Sho:
1) Sho is a dork who most often causes me to say "FAAACE".
2) Sho will do anything to make you laugh. He will take any sort of hit, as long as it makes people happy.
3) Sho has the fondest smile in the world. And even looking at his laugh, you can tell it's wonderful.
4) Sho is really hot. And really pretty, which is not always the same thing. Together it can knock you out.
5) Sho is a failboat. Had to be said.

Since I was trying to be really Sho-centric, I haven't showcased (by the way, I first typed that without the 'w'. XD) Sho's love for his bandmates! Luckily for you, there's phrenk wonderfully loving birthday post that happens to have that very focus. Go forth and feel squishy!

Notes:
1: Totally cribbed from phrenk's post. She's right, it's the best Sho picture ever.
6: Almost Famous quoting Robert Plant, what up!
9-11: That's actually what Sho wrote underneath the photo! In his handwriting! You are "Fun! Fun! Fun!, Sho! ♥
12-28: BASICALLY MY FAVORITE SHO MOMENT EVER. ASK ME HOW LONG I GOOGLED TO FIND MY OWN FAKE JEANS. You think I'm kidding. XD
13: Bwahaha, you guys, I did not write this! Lovingly attributed to ghostygloom in her hilarious picspamming of another of Sho's finest moments. Read it. Love it. It's pretty much what I'm going to say about Sho in my mind all the time now.
34: Will you pinky swear to me?

Oh, these are lovely! I'm so glad Sho was born today, I get your pretty icons and phrenk's gorgeous picspam and it's all coming up Sho!

The fake jeans! Glasses! Fun fun fun! Thank you, I'll be taking a few. They all make me smile. :)

My nipple icon is getting a workout today!

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you for your lovely comment! I'm just happy we all get a chance to celebrate the glory of Sho!

My nipple icon is getting a workout today!
It brought me such joy to come across it, like, five times that day. XD

#13 is by far my favorite, but the series of fake jeans icons are hilarious, too. a sho-worthy tribute indeed! :D

[topazera.livejournal.com]

a sho-worthy tribute indeed! :D
Thank you! That's a high praise indeed! :D

OH MY GOD! THE PINKY OF ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION! *_________*

[topazera.livejournal.com]

SHO IS AN HONEST AND UPSTANDING GENTLEMAN! :DD

[animefreak42.livejournal.com]

Hee, so great! How long did you google for fake jeans then? I'm curious now, are they available?

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Heee, you took the bait! For phrenk's last birthday, I went and bought her (and myself, of course XD) fake jeans. I ended up buying a really terrible (but that's part of the charm!) pair but before I found those, I also found an $120 designer pair on eBay (that looked surprisingly like Sho's!) and some uncomfortable ones that were just like jeans with an elastic waist in my local mall at H&M. Apparently that was a trend? This was a whole quest for me last summer, thanks for letting me tell the story! XD

FAKE JEANS FAKE JEANS FAKE JEANS!!!! *gleeeeee*

I love!

[topazera.livejournal.com]

That's still pretty much a highlight of my Arashi fandom life. SHO TOLD YOU, HE JUST WANTS TO BE COMFORTABLE. God, I love him so much. ♥♥

[ohmyghost.livejournal.com]

yesss!! I have saved like a billion of these, but i love them as a SET too! It is so difficult for me to choose just one :(

I LOVE #2. AND 5. AND HIS LITTLE FACE IN 9-11. 30!!! NINJA!SEXY IN #29. 34, 35, AJFSAGJSKL i am broken.


& I (EMBARRASSINGLY) HAVE TO ASK: what is this fake jeans moment and why do I not recognise/remember it? :O

Aw, thank yoooooou! And still you also let me know which ones you liked in particular, hooray! You're great. It was fun making a set for just one person, usually I'm way too easily distracted for that. :D

Also, thanks for being hilarious and inspiring icon 13!!

Oh man! Have you somehow lived your life void of Sho's Fake Jeans? It's from Music Lovers 2008.08.17. That's actually one of the early things I saw on YouTube that convinced me that Arashi owned me forever. If you have not seen it, GO AND WATCH AND REVEL IN THE GLORY. ♥♥

[ohmyghost.livejournal.com]

Somehow I MISSED IT COMPLETELY :O Thanks for the link! I'm grabbing it now :D DOWNLOAD FASTER, INTERNET.

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I have only heard hushed whispers about these hideous trouser abominations ;)

[topazera.livejournal.com]

I THINK MY GREATEST CONTRIBUTION IN ARASHI FANDOM HAS BEEN SPREADING THAT LINK AROUND WHENEVER POSSIBLE. ♥

[satoyan]

OKAY. DECISIONS: MADE. I really really really love the fake jeans ones but I don't think I would use them as much as some of the others so I made the TOUGH CHOICE and I am going with ... #1 and #8. BUT THEY ARE ALL SO TEMPTING. YOU ARE EVIL.

♥ (AND I WILL PINKY SWEAR TO YOU)

P.S. I AM WEARING MY FAKE JEANS RIGHT NOW IN ANTICIPATION OF UMAI-TIMES.

[insipid-paragon.livejournal.com]

These are fabulous and I'm taking. um. several. But the fake!jeans? Wha--what. Where? When was this?!

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Oh man! I'm so sorry I let this comment slip through the cracks, it even had a question in it! D: It was on Music Lovers! In 2008! If you haven't already, you can find THE GLORY, THE MAJESTY of SHO'S FAKE JEANS over here!

Thanks so much for the comment! I'm glad you dug the icons! ♥
