Wallpaper, 1280 x 900. Picture taken at Tennouji Zoo, Osaka.

この写真は大阪にいた時、天王寺動物園で撮った。
冬だったので、あの日の気温が低くて、人も少なくて、自然な景色を撮れてよかった。
写真に動物がいないのに〜　
午後の静けさに自分で歩きながら、『冬の時の動物園がやっぱきれいだね』と思った。
いつかほかの季節になったら、あそこに戻って行きたいな。★　

写真に歌詞も付いているよ〜

大切な思い出さえ　because even the important memories
いつかは色褪せてくから　will fade of their colours someday
現実から目を逸らして　averting my eyes from reality
夢という言葉に逃げた　I escaped to the word called “dream”

明日の記憶 – 嵐

( ほら、ばれちゃったよ! )

A couple of selected sketches out of the whole lot that I did while cracking up at the video. Sketched in black ink on paper, coloured in Photoshop – I had to force myself to stay away from the Smooth Round brushes :< Colour scheme was referenced from arnistotle @ DA. Comments are greatly appreciated! <3

( So, what about the Yama Hentai Bar? )

Clearly I’ve never known of the hassle that comes attached with the beautiful picture depicted by “WINTER” until I started shopping for appropriate clothes, and then deciding what exactly to wear is altogether a different issue. Due to my non-existent fashion sense, I painstakingly mixed and matched them, noting down so I would be at least a mile away from becoming a walking fashion disaster on the streets of ZOMG Japan.

First of the many firsts of this year (oh, did I mention we are ALL freaking celebrating our twenty firsts?): a holiday trip with the family to Nagoya and Osaka during winter from Jan 15-22. Is this too awesome or what??

I know it’s been long overdue – one year, spell y.e.a.r – the concert report for the finale of AAA 08 in Shanghai, but heck! Without finishing it, I’ll owe myself another one *with a kazillion and satozillion moments worth spazzing about*, that is Arashi’s 5×10 Anniversary concert in Nagoya Dome~~~~~~!!! Finale show :D This is so thrilling – the mental image of meeting them upfront again in Jappoland – that I might just pass out from an Arashi overdose at the concert XD

So far things are looking good; I’ve recovered from my bout of illnesses and more than ready to embrace the chilly winds (and snow? pretty please??); my packing is almost done and I’m only missing several items like a new wallet and a light coloured scarf; I got new brown coloured contacts today when I went to have my eyes checked, etc. Yet the itinerary is still undone. Omg.

Hello!Japan in about 24 hours :)

Saigo no Yakusoku『最後の約束』was so mindblowing that I think I just lost my brain. It’s in a gooey splatter all over the floor right now, after imploding and then exploding in a megatonne worth of Arashi fireworks; incoherence ensues. *keysmashes until my fingers cramp; which thereafter shall be continued with the forehead.*

(Kicks and sends you flying there while the vids are still up)
