BACK! During the time I was on hiatus, I...

. realized I knew Nino's interpreter. (He graduated with a Ph.D. in comp lit from UCLA last spring, and he's been hanging out and organizing various events around campus. I get a lot of group e-mails from him, and I've also actually had long academic discussions with him before. Ahhhh I freaked out when it clicked... about a week after the fact. XD I also ceased plotting Nino/interpreter crackfic, so.)

. sorted my e-mail inbox. Back to 0, so beautiful~. But I still owe Harrison and Kat and other people e-mails. D:

. hung out with Armay and watched the latest A*ashi concert DVD (more on that later, in the filter). It was amazing to watch it live with someone who 1) is a fan who actually likes their concerts and 2) does not have to be liquored up to watch them.

. noticed that Nino got a haircut. Shut up, this is totally about me.

. took two midterms and wrote a paper. Eh! ._.

. got some songs stucks in my head.

Shiina Ringo x Saito Neko + Shiina Junpei - Kono yo no kagiri

Title for this entry courtesy of this song. Shiina Ringo. ♥

AKB48 - Heavy Rotation

You're welcome. Warning: This is not a realistic portrayal of what slumber parties are like.

Yamashita Tomohisa - Hadakanbo
[which no longer exists on YouTube, apparently]
I don't usually like Pi's songs (sorry, Dai), but dang, if this hasn't been on my to-listen-to list every day since I first heard it.

BON-BON BLANCO - Namida no Hurricane

Oh hay 2003~! This was the... second ending theme? of the anime Get Backers. Found it again when I was sifting through my old music files. This song gets me CHOU HIGH TENSION.

. changed my LJ layout and default icon. I know it's whatever to most people, but for someone who's only had, like, three layouts and five default icons in the entire time she's had a journal, this is a big deal.

. wiped Harrison and reloaded him from factory settings. Not that it'll help much with the overheating thing (though I did get a cooling pad for that), but at least he isn't as cluttered as he used to be.

. meditated on life or whatever.

. missed you guys. ♥

Heh, that poor interpreter. He e-mailed me back after I spazzed at him about Nino and was all, "There's a movie screening on Friday! You should come!" (Or I could take a nap and sleep through it, you know~) As far as the movie goes, I'm not the biggest fan of the original manga, but the movie was pretty entertaining. For various reasons. ;3.

NINO'S HAIRCUT IS A WORK OF ART OMG. UNF I JUST WANT TO PET IT IN ALL ITS SHORT, SOFT-LOOKING GOODNESS.

I try. I'm no good at LJ graphics, but they make me happy. :3.

EEEEE, YOU'RE BACK YOU'RE BACK! *throws rainbow confetti* I've missed you. ♥

And oh goodness, Nino's new haircut--I LOVE IT LIKE BURNING. On my cousin's birthday a week ago I was like, "HEY YOU TURNED SEVENTEEN TODAY BUT GUESS WHAT NINO DID TOO. PROOF" and shoved the picture at her. It is wonderful to have Arashi fans around us and speaking of which oooh, actually watching an Arashi concert live with someone who enjoys it! Yay! *___* So far I've only been able to loop my mother into watching a couple of them but she found Nino adorable and everyone fun and sunshine-y so ALL IS SPARKLY IN THE WORLD. :D

I'm looking forward to that email from you, bb! ♥

Ahhh what is this comment? It makes me so happy somehow. ♥

NINO IS SO ADORBS. I can't get over it. I inhale the random news clips (not that I didn't before, but) in ~*~super HQ~*~ just because I know Nino will have his new hair in them. *_* And yessss, it was so nice to watch with someone and be allowed to kick and scream in glee. I wish I could just gather up all of my friends and put us in a giant room to watch Arashi all day together. Ah, how wonderful that'd be.

You will get it soon! I've been thinking about my answers. XD

i gasped when i saw your layout! changes, indeed. i do enjoy the colours, very pleasant~

while the AKB48 girls are pretty, the PV just disgusts me, because all i think about the entire time is how much better the whole thing would be if there were 48 . . .

uh, 48 eighteen year old men, FBI. the above are images of what i would not want. for illustration.

(yes, it's that time already! it is always that time.)

AND E-MAIL HARRISON BACK, GEEZ.

Ahaha, sorry about that. You can assume that most Nino icons on your f-list are me anyway.

Also, Ken! ♥ One of these days I'm going to sit down and inhale a bunch of V6 media. And decide who my favorite is. (It's between Ken and Inocchi, though I think Inocchi is winning.)

From: [identity profile] clipsie.livejournal.com
I usually do. :D

I can understand Inocchi winning, he's just so lovely for a man with faces of only dots and dashes. Ken is too uber adorable though (But it's V6, you're allowed to have two favourites. One from Kamisen, and one from Tonisen (seriously, so many are like this it seems).

I was going to say I missed you, then you put Heavy Rotation in your post and now I'm kinda giving you the Nino face. *that* Nino face. The children love that song, ergo I hate it. Couldn't you have listened to "Beginner" instead? It's so much better.

While I agree that "Beginner" is a better song, "Heavy Rotation" is the one that gets ruthlessly stuck in my head. Just saying the title gets the entire first verse spinning. I can't escape it.

Also? Please. I welcome any and all Nino faces.

I like "Beginner" better, definitely, but "Heavy Rotation" is some of the catchiest music ever. It just never goes away. I think the record longest time I've had it stuck in my head was five days or something. D:

Welcome back! I've been sorting out my inbox too! It feels so nice to see it so clean, haha. Seriously Heavy Rotation, the PV was rather eh but the song just won't leave your mind no matter what. I guess it's also partly because I kept watching AMUSE boys doing that song as well lolol. Gosh I totally love Nino's hair as well. Idk why he looks so manly with that hair, ahaha.

One of my friends gave me the entire discography of Shiina Ringo after I was introduced to her songs at karaoke. And I love Heavy Rotation, despite the fact that they're always playing it at the Tsutaya at Shibuya crossing every time I'm there, resulting in it being stuck in my head for hours.

Glad you're back! :D Missed you!

Shiina Ringo is amazing. I have so much respect for her as a person and an artist, and she's basically the only non-idol Japanese artist I listen to. (Not because I refused to listen to non-idols, but because I only have so much time to listen to music, but I'm always happy to branch out to listen to her.) Hahaha OMG I hear that "Heavy Rotation" is (or was?) everywhere in Japan, so I probably wouldn't find it as catchy if it never left me alone... though that's about how it is now anyway.

Glad to be back! <3 Also, I've been meaning to shoot you an e-mail about a couple of Japanesey things, so be on the lookout for that. :D

Heavy Rotation is... it leaves me so conflicted. The song I like but I meant the PV. At first I was all eye roll I see what you're doing AKB48 but then I discovered Mika Ninagawa directed it and I love her. So know I have to justify it and say it has layers and maybe feminist statements or something -- and the flower garlands are pretty too.

Oh and welcome back!! I missed you.

I feel like I don't use my default icon enough for it to matter, but it's definitely a bit of a switch when I'm on my profile or looking at my icons or something. Also, I know he's not your default but oh hey Hina bb, lookin' fly~

YOU'RE WELCOME. :Dv

I will be happy to take any and all blame for any Nino-ing that has been happening in other people's lives. Though I'll append your statement by saying that he and his hair are lovely always.

I also ceased plotting Nino/interpreter crackfic, so.

I'm sorry. This must have been somewhat awkward, and I laughed at it. XD

Haha, Yamapi's music is not actually my normal type of music, and Hadakanbou was the first song he ever released that fit a genre I really like, so I was happy. I normally hate dance pop/ electronic hip-hop/ whatever the genre of his "Western" music is but love is blind and I can't get enough of SGSB.

Also, I love your new layout. It's so easy on the eyes. And the header image is <3.

It was more hilarious than anything else. I really liked the interpreter from the looks of it, and it seemed like he and Nino got along pretty well, but then I was like, "Wait... waaaaiiiit a minute..." XD

"Hadakanbo" needs to be on everyone's to-listen list. I was reading reviews on Amazon of the single, and people were all, "He hasn't released anything good since 'Daite Señorita'." And I was just so livid, because seriously, this is a fantastic song!

I recently figured out how to have a header and a background image. My life as someone who can customize LJ layouts has only just begun! XDD
