don't believe anything when it is already march 29, april 1, and probably april 2, too, in case someone still wants to join in the fun even though it's one day late. XD

I was doing my routine check of oricon and i saw that today, Beautiful Days is at No.7, going back up the chart until the new singles for the week are released. This past few days I don't normally look at the next 20 songs in the chart because I don't see the point since truth and one love has long been gone from the daily top30. But today I looked, and this is what i saw:
haha. XD I know this doesn't mean much in terms of sales, it's most probably less than a thousand units.. but the fact is people are suddenly buying them again. what for, as christmas gifts? XD truth's arrow symbol is even downwards, indicating that for the past day at least, it's rank is even higher than 25. i wonder how long have they been back in the chart, haha. i understand one love's sudden rise in popularity again because of the hydf dvd release, but how about truth? maybe people just want to have a copy of this year's number 1 single, ne? ^_^

The Johnny's Ranker is quite fun [although quite long, too] and it can be found here.
It's easy. You'll be presented with pictures of two JE artists and you'll just have to choose which one you like better. You can also choose a tie if you like them both.
My results are not really surprising. What's surprising for me is that it is very accurate. I remember that I took this quiz some time back and back then I got a very weird result. However, I am happy with my results [except that chinen is way below there, when he could have been in my top ten.] Anyway, here are my results:
1. Sakurai Sho, Ohno Satoshi, Ninomiya Kazunari,
Matsumoto Jun, Aiba Masaki <--- told you there is really no surprise
here ^_^
6. Akanishi JIn, Koyama Keichiro <-- i'm beginning to think that this test is a hoax. How can it be so accurate?
8. Yamashita Tomohisa
9. Katori Shingo
10. Nakai Masahiro
11. Kimura Takuya
12. Kusanagi Tsuyoshi
13. Matsuoka Masahiro
14. Kamenashi Kazuya, Kato Shigeaki
16. Yabu Kota
17. Yaotome Hikaru
18. Nakajima Yuto
19. Sakamoto Masayuki
20. Taguchi Junosuke
21. Ueda Tatsuya
22. Nakamaru Yuichi
23. Tanaka Koki
24. Ohkura Tadayoshi
25. Inohara Yoshihiko
26. Kokubun Taichi
27. Joshima Shigeru
28. Nagano Hiroshi
29. Inagaki Goro
30. Nagase Tomoya
31. Okada Junichi
32. Miyake Ken
33. Imai Tsubasa
34. Takizawa Hideaki
35. Nishikido Ryo
36. Maruyama Ryuhei
37. Yokoyama Yuu
38. Murakami Shingo
39. Tegoshi Yuya
40. Masuda Takahisa
41. Yasuda Shota
42. Domoto Koichi
43. Inoo Kei
44. Takaki Yuya
45. Chinen Yuri <--- why is he here? T_T
46. Yamada Ryosuke
47. Morimoto Ryutaro
48. Arioka Daiki
49. Yamaguchi Tatsuya
50. Domoto Tsuyoshi, Morita Go
52. Okamoto Keito
53, Mike, Golf, Shibutani Subaru

i just have to find a really ugly rumor today. i actually went through several moods while i'm uncovering everything that i can from what others have already posted. at first i laughed at it, saying it's probably like that of sho's "scandal" a few months back.. then i saw the photos and i must admit i was shocked O_O, but that is basically because i can't see how it would be possible for ridaa to do that during the fast few months when his schedule has been busier than everyone else's.. then i found out the photos might be from 3 years back, in 2005, then i became angry.. the length at which people would go to pull other people down.. and these scandals are coming out obviously because ohno has been very popular this year.
when this kinds of things happen to artists here in my country, i do not really care, saying they're stupid enough to get themselves photographed in the first place.. seeing it happen to arashi somewhat changed my perspective, 'cause now i see several other factors affected with these scandals - the fans, the company, and of course the artists themselves and their families. imagine how embarrassed ohno must be seeing his pictures like that.. i hope arashi are close enough to understand each other in these situations (i'm thinking of what jun will say to ohno when they get to talk about this XD)..
i just can't believe that something like this will happen to ohno (and to think that sho actually party harder than anyone else in arashi XD) and at this time no less (when i'm sure all ohno can think about is fishing because he can't get enough time off from filming maou).. i hope no more damages will come from this, and that everything will reach a finality soon so everyone can go back to their normal lives (because no matter how people say they are not worried and to just laugh it off, i'm sure somehow they are still worried of what might happen in the future)..
of course i support ohno and arashi, i just have to make that plain. something like this will not make me think of them any less.. and so to show my support of ohno (and how i abhor the tabloid report), i changed my wallpaper to this (credits to elenniel at lj):

is the 2008-2009 Calendar! Woot! thanks to one of my wonderful rain-catcher friends who gave me this, mecha mecha ureshii! \\^_^//
i received the calendar late in the afternoon, after much drama worthy of several Oscars ^_^ friends, i am really grateful, and i don't think i can stress this enough.
the calendar is so far the best gift that i have received this this past few days. i took a picture of it lying in my workplace in school. look how disorganized my things are, and the calendar is a refreshing sight. ^_^ in front of the cpu you can see the fruits of almost a year's worth of rain-catching, rain files burned into DVDs. whenever things get too frustrating or stressful with my thesis, i just click on the Show Desktop button and voila! arashi wallpaper! ^_^
this room, and in particular this workplace, is very important to me and my arashi fangirling, since i got almost all of my downloads from this room.. as you can see from the evidence, haha, i am currently downloading AnoS episodes from techny-teddy, yay! ^_^
to れチャン、ほんとうに ありがとう ございます!めちゃめちゃ うれしい!

it's this ---> Japanese ISPs To Ban File Sharers
i don't really know how this can be implemented, but i can't help but ask what would become of the international fans now? i know that the majority of the raw files that we get are from Japanese fangirls who upload it for us, so what will happen if they get detected and banned?
people who commented on the article said it cannot possibly be properly implemented, and somehow i hope that's true O_O

... then hopefully it would all be over.
Uwa~ can't concentrate on arashi happennings now because of RL, but i hope after this I would be able to support them more. At least in the near future I would be able to buy their goodies already since by then I'd have my own money. XD
i looked over at tenjostyle's vox and i saw this week's shukudai screencaps, and it looks fun! XDDDD love their expressions, and how sho attacked aiba twice! XD they're just really so close to each other.. uwa~ sakuraiba.. and some ohmiya, too.. (and i think a hint of juntoshi <333)
on a very delayed comment, i would just like to say that i like the SnG DVD better than the real PV. i'm a fan, don't get me wrong, but maybe i am just so used to them moving fast. XD and i also appreciated their costumes better in the making than in the PV.. they just look so HOT in the making [based on tess-chan's screencaps since i wasn't able to watch it yet].
so to understand better what i am rambling about, look over at tenjostyle's and tess-chan's vox. or watch the shukudai and PV making. XD ~jya~
