Few weeks ago, someone in my friend-list found Arashi Pikanchi & Pikanchi Double Photobooks for $30 each, sealed. I was thinking like "Oh man, it'd be awesome if JE made reprints of these books" and looks like my wish come true... in a wrong time. I'm broke, man! And it's coming all at once!!

Yesasia put a $28.75 price tag for each of these. CDJapan links have been posted before.

Arashi Around Asia
Arashi 04150515 - Pikanchi Days
Arashi A to Z - Pikanchi Double Days
Arashi - Kiiroi Namida

The only one left is In A Rush, which actually what I really want from all of those. Should I make another wish? XD

For those who is waiting for CDJapan, it's finally coming.

Also, I believe everyone should own a copy by now, but anyway... One Love is back on preorder on Play-Asia for $10.90.

I'm amazed on how fast preorder Arashi's stuffs can be. It's not even available at CDJapan yet!

Arashi is Alive available in YesAsia USA for $38.75 and also in Play-Asia for $34.90.

I know Yesasia offers free shipping, but I'm not sure about Play-Asia because this photobook looks rather heavy. Let me check after this.

EDIT: Links to Yesasia is here.

Oh gosh, I'm just too excited that it's finally here, but I can't believe the first press is sold out so quickly >_<#

*sobs in the corner*

Why Johnny's? Why? Why not Singapore, or Malaysia, or Indonesia.... where I could see them? T_T Those countries are too far and I can't speak their language... and I don't have much money...

*sobs back in the corner*

Somehow this year, though I wasn't really expecting it, I managed to grab few concert goods again (namely Jun's uchiwa -front & back- & clear file -front & back-, and keitai strap <- pictures from Yahoo JP Auctions). No, I didn't go, mydearestandmostlovable friend went there. Anyway, I heard from station to dome, hundreds of girls carrying signs "Please sell me your ticket, how much you asked, I will buy it.", even women in their 40's or 50's O___o I can't imagine how much the ticket scalpers would get that day...

Btw, anyone has suggestions on how to wrap the goods so it will arrive here safely? *sweatdrops* Indonesian postal service aren't really the most reliable service after all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Finally full pv of One Love is available. It's pretty fast, considering there's still another two weeks before the schedule release date. The pv itself is very... cheesy XD lagunya 120% gombal pulak still I'm enjoying it. Is it me or they're also looked kinda... eh... amused with this clip? XD

Hyakunen saki mo ai wo chikau wo

I wonder why I can't put the embedded Youtube in this journal :(

Anyway, here's the link then.

It's back!! It's back!! XD

ONE LOVE (Limited Edition) in CDJapan and Yes Asia for I don't know how long. So if you haven't got yours, grab quickly.

...... I'm serious.

Last night I watched Himitsu no Arashi-chan #9 out of curiousity of the title, Hana Yori Matsujun. What I watched is beyond belief. Okay, the original title in this episode is "Hana Yori Matsujun : Rabu Rabu Attack Daisakusen" where the guests will attack with their appeal to win a day with Matsujun XD And the guests are...

Quoting Tsukushi's words, those are "hen na obaasan tachi" XDD -> weird old ladies. The first one is Morisanchuu's Oshima Miyuki, she once appeared in Arashi no Shukudaikun #26 and that's always my favourite shukudai XD

In this show, first those guests can express how the feel about Matsujun, and after that they can ask whatever they want from Matsujun. I won't spoil too much (though I made tons of screencaps) but two most unforgettable scenes :
1) Oshima-san(1) showing her Matsujun file. Audience scream (including me) when she points her favourite one, and it's the one in Josei Jishin when they're all bare-chested XDD AND actually that's not the only reason why she loves it, it's because on the back page of the cover, there HER in advertisement XDD It's a dream collaboration!!
2) Hokuto-san(3) asking to be carried like a bride. Matsujun quickly grabs Nino and whispers to him "Do you think I can lift her?" XDD <- Oh dear, that was priceless!! Let's just say, apparently he is stronger than he looks :p

The third part is when they were all dressed up with help of famous stylish to win Jun's heart. And this time Jun really has to choose.

And the winner is........

I won't tell you :P

OMG!! Look on this page.

The goods are so dang cute!!! >_<#

I want! I want! I want! but I'm not in capacity of spending money right now!

And see how they price the necklace? 38,000 yen! O_o
