perspective

 Alright, it's been a long time since anything was posted here, but in light of certain events, I feel that a post is necessary.

I'm sure that by now, everyone knows about the Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Crisis in Japan - at least I sincerely hope you do. Relief efforts have been underway and now, a week from when the tragedy has struck, there has still been no respite for Japan. To help out, please do consider donations either to your local Red Cross or join the fundraising going on at arashi_on . The specific link can be found here. It is a concerted effort by people of all JE fandoms. Any amount of donation, however small, goes a long way in helping those affected in Japan. 

Last but not least, pray for Japan, everyone! 

 Interesting question. It really depends on how little is little, and how much a lot is a lot. The duration plays a part too. If it's only for a few years, I'll work at a miserable job that pays alot. If it's for life, I'll take the one that pays little but is enjoyable. =P I believe that a little realism is needed to survive.

*blows off virtual dust*

Ok, no excuses, I've been lazy in posting anything. BUT! I've been around fandom. =P

There's been like 2 singles this year and it's been barely half a year! Now with 'to be free', Ohno's single-which-i-don't-know-the-name-of and the new album, I think the hole in everyone's pocket is getting larger. I am cash-strapped! >.<

Oh well...

Ok, long time since I posted, school and all...

Arashi no Shukudai-kun has ended! *cries* I'll miss the show for sure, but at least there's a new show to look forward to. Arashi ni Shiyagare. ...Any experts care to enlighten me as to what "shiyagare" means? popjisyo doesn't have an answer. Anyway, from this post and this post, it seems like people are talking about how Arashi now, commands a bigger paycheck and yet, can't seem to bring in the numbers. All these speculations...sigh.
 
Let's face it. Arashi is highly popular now and with poularity comes a whole lot of nonsense that has to be dealt with, because whether they like it or not, it's there to stay. Well, while the popularity is there at least. So, a few things I would like to say...

( rant... )

All in all, as a fan, I'll be rooting for the continued success of Arashi and that they remain true to themselves. =)
