Hey guys, do you know any shop in Orchard that sells Japanese music books?? I thought Kino would sell them but when I was thr a month ago, I couldn't find any... Kind of weird cuz the Kino in Malaysia sells them but at a really super high price...
Help~~ I'll be going there next wednesday... will be staying at Meritus Mandarin... Any nearby stores that sell the books?? Thanks a lot~~
I have had this song on repeat for the whole day. I love the PV! Action-packed, bad-assness all around.
But tomorrow will be fine, tomorrow will be sunny, perhaps ^^;
Nevertheless, for those in Sapporo, I know that the cold is not an opponent for your Arashi-love *banzaaaiiii*
Meanwhile, lately I really like Shimizu Shota, the second Japanese singer since Kousuke Atari whose face I don`t even know.
I always fall for the sappy ones don`t I ?
i would think everyone is having the time of their lives..
i hope that you find them well =]
The charm for Sapporo is yellow!
I heard it was raining heavily in Sapporo T.T
Everyone take care of the cold..
and jump and dance a lot with Arashi!

I am not a fan of TVXQ/DBSK/Tohoshinki (or the group with the many acronyms) per se but like always, I listen to any kind of music regardless and then I sit on the fence to watch the fireworks exploding all around. As the lawsuit between the three members versus SM Entertainment continues (with no end currently in sight) and the sudden cancellation of their supposed all-last concert in Shenzhen, China (so sorry for my friend's cousin who was so intent on going and have had everything booked for next weekend - i understand thoroughly how it feels), I was reading the translation of a particular article and something caught my eye:
One agency representative stated, "Setting aside who was right and who was wrong, I worry that such a group might disband. Even when you ask promoters in Japan, the group's popularity is no joke. There are countless Japanese promoters who level them with Arashi who is the most loved group in Japan. They're a group who has the talents to become Asia's best and it is unfortunate that such an event happened."

My Girl~
It was a nice day to tidy up. The sun was shining and the siblings were bursting with life. Saburo was unscrewing the plaque tha hung outside next to the door. Their names written next to the family name. He can hear his brothers making a fuss about something.
"You're doing it too much! " Aniki sounded irritated.
Jiro chimes in,"Just do it!"
"Nani?" Goro asks
"Lets do it Aniki!" Shiro chimed in
"Warui yo" the youngest replied.
"Well if we don't do it now, we won't be able to at all" the second oldest reasoned out.
"No doubt about that. Let's just do it" Shiro said. The rest agreed and so they started moving the furniture and things they needed to pack up. They were moving away from this house, moving on to better things in life after their Okasan had died. Her cancer had gotten worse, she didn't even tell her family. She kept the pain to herself and didn't want them to see her face pained. Her children meant the world to her.
Ichiro, the eldest, was a quiet but interesting boy since he was young. He liked playing with watercolors and always went with his Otouchan on fishing trips. He grew up to be a fine man, he may not have finished college but he was intelligent in his own way. He suggested moving out since he was getting married soon anyway. To that lovely young woman, Nana-chan from the grocers. She was Sachiko's good friend. It had turned out to be a good match, those two. And he was planning to start a fishing school in the seaside. It was a very promising thing and Nana-chan supported him in his plans. They will start a new life together come springtime.
Jiro, the second son was wise and firm. He did things after long considertaion and listened well. He had gotten a job as a professor in Keio University, nobody knew about it but his Okasan. He was determined to do well in Tokyo with his younger brothers, Shiro and Goro. And maybe come back for the one he loved.
Saburo and Sachiko, the twins. They were adopted at a troubled time. Saburo was a genki young boy and even into adulthood, he was lively and loved kidding around with eveyone. He was inseparable from the silent Sachiko. They may look alike but only a few people can tell them apart. That would be their Okasan and Jiro-nii, whom they were very close to. They always knew what the other was thinking before they even said or did anything, often completing each other's sentences. Although, they stopped doing so as they got older. Sachiko was bubbly in her own way, always smiled and was rowdy when with his brothers. The move was a big thing yet the two didn't want to leave, especially Sachiko-chan. She had clung to her twin and cried begging that they stay.
Shiro, the fourth-born, was quiet but a bit sneaky when he wanted to get his way with anything. He had gotten a job as a konbini supervisor in Tokyo which was good since times are hard and he wanted to save for the future. He wanted to ask Kim-chan if they could get married. Not just yet but at least get engaged. He had asked Sachiko her opinion once and his neesan agreed it would be good to plan ahead.
Goro, youngest and was the most OC. He wanted things orderly and neat. Often helped Okachan and his neechan in the house. He was happy about the move to Tokyo, he will be a new architect of Jun Aoki & Associates. He was going to start in spring, his koibito was working as a clerk in a nearby office. They had kept correspondence and Chiaki-chan visited often.
Otousan had moved to Chiba, where their clan was originally from. He felt like he couldn't stand the loss of Okasan even if we were around. It was geed that his eldest was going to follow him there soon with his young bride.
Yes it was a fine day to tidy up and in the midst of the hubbub and happy smiles was a bit of tension in the air. Ichiro was packing their Okachan's shrine, the others noticed and were touched by an unseen force.
"Ne ne ne~ Let's go gather stuff from our rooms. Ones to throw away and those we can take as well" Goro suggested, the rest agreed and got busy.
Saburo was going through a picture album and saw their Okachan smiling up at him, almost causing to tear up. He turned the page again and saw a white envelope addressed to him. He opened it and started reading:
Saburo-kun,
I know that you and Sachiko are not truly mine but I love you both as my own. You and your brothers and sister were our children and one day you should all grow up and go on ahead to do what it is you love to do.
When that day comes, go. I will be watching over you from this house.
Okachan
At that moment his brothers came into the dining room excitedly.
Jiro showed his old mask," Are! look at what I found!"
"Uwaaah! That's nothing compared to this aniki!" Shiro was proud of the find he had with Goro.
"Aniki, what's that?" Goro asked their eldest.
"My old button pin collection. I must take this ne~"
"Oi~ Oniichan! That's just junk!" Shiro smirked.
"To you it is!" Jiro laughed, trying to get his mask into a box. They were still chattering when Saburo walked over.
"Anou sa~" the young musician started,"I found this in my things. Okachan wrote to us...."
They gathered round and read the letter. They could well hear their Okasan's voice as they did so.
"Anou~" Sachiko walked into the room and saw their faces as they read the letter.
"S-sachiko-chan..." his twin was surprised. They were expecting her to be in the kitchen, busy with dinner.
"Etou~"
"Nani? What's that you're reading? Why is everyone so serious?!" she giggled and smiled at them.
"Sachiko-chan.... Imouto... Sit down will you?" Ichiro said softly. The younger one nodded and sat next to his twin and was handed the letter. She knew right away whose handwriting it was. Soon tears fell silently. Jiro knew what would happen next as she suddenly stood up and ran to the bathroom, door banging behind her.
At that Ichiro too stood up with the house plans for the move, the rest followed him as he tore the paper into pieces. They knew it was the right thing to have done.
"Let's stay for a while ne?" Ichiro said calmly.
"Mou~ what about Oneesa...?" Shiro was about to ask when he noticed Saburo missing. The older one was already knocking on the bathroom door.
"Sachiko-chan. Please open the door imouto." the third-born pleaded.
"Mou... I'll let Otouchan know we're not moving" Goro took out his keitai and wrote: Otousan, we want to stay in this house with Okasana little longer. So we've decided not to move. The youngest smiled as he sent the message off and started putting things back in their place. He noticed Jiro-nii walk to the fridge and take the keys from the top and walk over to where the twins were. He smiled knowingly.
The keys jingled as they went into the doorknob. Openind the door widely, Jiro saw Sachiko's figure in a corner near the shower. He came forward and knelt beside her.
"Sachiko?" he said softly and took her into his arms. There was no reply from the woman, just more silent tears. She didn't refuse him either but was comforted by his presence.
"Mou~ Sachiko-chan. Okasan is looking over us ne. Let's smile for her. She's not in pain anymore." Jiro soothed her and wiped her tears away. At that she looked up and nodded.
"Mah..mah.. crybaby all these years ne!" Saburo chided her. His twin smiled and giggled a little.
"ARE!! Shall we have dinner? Okachan is all set-up back in her shrine." Shiro smiled.
"I turned the stove off now. Imouto almost burned my favorite!" Ichiro chuckled as he turned away from the scene.
"Aiiiyaaaah!" the comment mobilized her and she stood up with the help of Jiro,"hontouni gomenasai Onii-chan!"
And they fussed over setting the table. They were full of chatter again and the sad moment hours ago half-forgotten as Saburo screwed on the plaque again next to the door. Then he noticed someone going to the garden, it was Sachiko. He was going to follow when he also saw Jiro-niichan. He smiled and decided not to bother them and went in, rousing the others to tidy up in the kitchen and their rooms so as not to bother the two in the garden.
"Its a beautiful night niichan!" Sachiko stared at the stars, not bothering to look at her brother.
"sou desu ne...like imo-...like Sachiko-chan.." he replied as he sat next to her on the wooden bench.
"Mou~ niichan is not funny..." she was glad the clouds hid the moon or she'd be seen with her cheeks tinged pink.
"Anou sa~ I want to tell you something, Sachiko-chan. It may change many things but know what I say is true ne?"
"mou~ don't be so serious niichan! You'll look old!" sachiko giggled ans was about to stand up.
"Anou~" Jiro grabbed her arm lightly.
"Nani?" she smiled and sat back down. Jiro moved his hand down to her own hands, the girl was giddy but confused.
"Sachiko-chan. I love you."
"Watashi mo. Oniichan daisuki!" she replied, her heart beating wildly.
"No! Not like a sister. Like a man loves a woman. Mah.. how do I say this correctly?!" his face troubled.
"A-anou~ oniichan?"
"Please stop calling me that. We know I'm really not your brother."
"D-demou~"
"I know its too much but I don't want to waste anymore time. Okachan knew without my telling her and before she died she said I should be honest with you. This is what i'm doing right now...I don't care if you hate me or get disgusted or whatever....I just want you to know. I want the world to know. I have always loved you Sachiko" Jiro looked into her eyes, cupping her face, his blood rushing through his body. It felt good that he finally told her, now for the hard part...waiting for the reply...if there was one.
"Anou~ J-jiro?" Sachiko's face was flushed, emotions running wild in her but she was glad it wasn't a one way thing like she thought it was. He loved her too. At that she let his arms wound around her waist as hers went up his neck, pulling him closer.
"Watashi mo..." she whispered back.
Then all of a suddent the light of the moon shone down on them as the cloud passed.
"Finally!" Goro shouted. The lovers disentangled themselves, surprised at the reactions.
"Omedetou Jiro-kun" Ichiro patted his otouto's shoulder.
The two were dumbfounded but happy to be accepted by their family this way.
"Seems I have another announcement for Otousan" Goro said.
Minna laughed but Jiro stopped, "Let Sachiko and myself do that ne? We'll go to Chiba next week."
"EHHHH?! That fast?!" Saburo cried.
"Baka niichan! They've been together all their lives ne? What's there left to do?!" Shiro looked at his older brother dubiously.
"Sou desu kedo~"
And the family continued to live in the house where love and laughter dwelled.
