Ace After Buying the Arashi is Alive Photobook

28 09 2008

IS IRRATIONAL NOW. PLEASE DON’T READ. NOT THAT FUNNY. WASTE OF TIME. JUST A GIRL RAVING ABOUT HER PHOTOBOOK (Should I rate my posts like fanfics now?)

Now, I can’t help but remember Pat’s words to me when I wasn’t buying any Arashi items yet. Pat herself doesn’t want to start buying because she knows she won’t be able to stop afterwards. But, first of all, a scan is a scan. I can always get MU links everywhere. At an Internet cafe, I can get it, clean the scan, print it and see the photos many times, maybe sleep with it beside me. But a book, I would not look at it everyday. (Are you serious? And have my fingerprints on Sho’s precious face? No way!) But a book is a book. (My reasoning is bad, I told you.) A book is something I could keep, to remind me so many years after that I loved Arashi (since my tangible scrapbook project is going nowhere). If I can’t read encyclopedias anymore (but I want to actually…hmm, maybe I should buy a set! *remembers savings for Arashi 10th year con*) Wait, I am talking about ME buying a book and ME taking the scans (this isn’t you, don’t be offended, this is me and how I am happy that I bought). (why there’s too many parentheses in this post?)

And I even admire those people who share the Arashi is Alive photobook scans, or any other photobooks. For one, yes, it’s true, AiA photobook has the poorest binding ever. There’s one picture where Nino’s entirely hidden coz he’s in the middle. To successfully scan it, you need to peel each page separately, and I CAN’T DO THAT OVER YOUR DEAD BODY! How can I hurt the paper that has Sho’s face in it? Never! So, thanks to all people sharing the scans. Coz I wouldn’t scan my book even if you pay me. (why not buy instead, hakhak!) And also, I’m not rich to afford another copy -P Even if I buy the book, I would still get the scans. Coz I told you I won’t scan it myself!

But AiA is bias coz most pictures are from MatsuJun and Sho! For all Sho picture, I’m kyaaaaaaaing a lot, I totally forgot about Aiba Really, you could live (or I could) even with just Sho’s shots, akkk, if Sho’s picture are paper I can eat all over again, I wouldn’t starve ever. AiA is currently out of stock right now.

PHOTOBOOKS NOW + DVDS LATER = HASHIRIDASE, HASHIRIDASE!

It’s 5AM, Sunday now. I have to go to the office to work later. Hmm.. I will see bad faces again. But before that…

An old picture.. it feels like it was just taken on a normal neighborhood.

I told you this post has no direction at all. My mind is preparing for the worse days to come. I won’t be posting as much in the coming days.. I need to work hard to buy more books.

@Niro Rin Ji: well, start saving now coz you’ll never have enough money to a lot of Arashi stuff, because there’s so many Arashi stuff! and everyday there’s always a new fan who will be your rival in buying stuff… lol! I sound like a madman! But yeah, best way is to save now…

@Ca: Like what I told you, if you can go to the end of the year, it’s good coz you’ll get the chance to see the Countdown. But if you have no choice, then it’s better to do it for the 10th year anniversary. Ahh, but someone already posted download links for the AiA scans. Do you want them?

Hm.. its not like I have no choice but its NOT likely that I’ll be able to go in the end of the year AND 10th anniversary.. I prolly have to choose one or another.. Doushiyou…. >_<
Ah is it dangerous for my health, the AiA scans? :O

@Niro Rin Ji: oh, that’s sad. she thinks that way? being a fangirl is now a competition, hmm… well, still the best way to enjoy Arashi for me is to listen to them and watch their vids.

@Ca: No, it’s perfectly healthy. there are no devilish song titles in it (or if there is, they’re in Japanese) here they are: http://cho-colatosa.livejournal.com/59841.html

Ca, no problem. if there’s anything you need, just ask, I’ll try to find them for you..

wyrdy, yes, next year is their 10th year already.. many fans are planning to go to Japan already, I think Tokyo will be overpopulated by fans next year ;) I wanna get more photobooks too… but it’s so easy to spend too many money on Arashi… I could spend 10k, and I still I don’t have everything.. how’s your Internet connection, btw?

ah, yeah, talk about Digitel. it takes ages to download an episode. But got no choice. That’s one thing I hate about not living in Manila, haha!

If I have enough funds, I would go. And if I have a passport+Visa that time, why not. I hate processing papers eh.
