A couple of Arashi-related confessions. Although I get extremely slightly off-topic, as you can expect.
1) I really like the part in Pikanchi Double where it's, like, Sho's solo? Everyone else is singing the same thing and he has those little interjection things, against the sky background on the PV. It's right before all the regular solos. ::looks it up:: It starts at about 2:45, i think.
( More examples. )
2) I really like the dance for Wish. XD It's kind of how I got into Arashi. God damn, I love people dancing in unison (or some approximation of unison). Arashi have dances that I find really visually stimulating. They're super-fun to watch. Katie and I were just talking about it. I first watched Wish to give context to Kawai's Jun impersonation, and found it hilarious, but I also was sucked in by the dance itself.
3) Sho's singing voice has been growing on me. I know he's not a good singer, but. . . I kind of like listening to him these days. XD And then, in a lot of ways what attracts me to a singer isn't necessarily the quality of their voice. Although, yes, staying on tune is good. But (as in #1) I like when singing is done with feeling, from the gut? I don't know. He's a cutie. And I'm strangely enamored of his singing voice.
4) Not Arashi-related, but just for the record. . . I really love Seishun Amigo. XD I'm a musically complex woman! It's SO CATCHY and also why I'm a Johnny's fan, and I also really like the dance for that. Especially when Yamapi does it.
5) I'm totally off Arashi now, but I also love KimuTaku's hair. Have I mentioned this before? At the moment I don't love it, but when it's longer and he's flipping it around and smiling at you and swiveling his hips. . . Even though I kind of think SMAP (and various other Johnny's that I won't name) are a bit dead on the inside, or at the very least somewhat lacking in personality and charm, I am weak weak WEAK against KimuTaku's hair.
Also, good hair in general. This came out of nowhere about a year ago. I blame Michelle Trachtenberg.
6) Mmmm, Yamapi's skin. Again, not at the moment, he seems a bit man-tanned. But in general. So glowy and nice.
7) I think I've mentioned this in several places already, but I'm starting to find MatsuJun attractive with increasing frequency. It's like, i started out not liking him, partly cos it took me a while to get over my lack of attraction to Domyouji, and partly because he was so popular - even among my real life friends at that time. But then I slowly started to like him more and more, and I was like "Great, this is nice, now I adore all of Arashi." But then it didn't stop!!
8) . . . I lust after Uchi a lot? In case you were wondering. Does Laura lust after Uchi? Yes, she does. I also wrote fanfic about him. Possibly anonymously, recently. So if you were also wondering who wrote the bad Uchi-related fic, that was me. Oh, two. I wrote two bad Uchi-related fics for a certain meme. Sorry to fans of Uchi and fans of good writing.
9) I also lust after Ryo. Sometimes I think he's a total jackass and not in the way that he's obviously a total jackass (which only makes me like him more). Just the fact that Yamapi and Jin and Ryo are all super-popular and clearly know it and all hang out together has the air of the cool kids in the cafeteria to me, but at the same time, Yamapi's kind of an adorable goof and Ryo is really interestingly multi-faceted. And FLAMING HOT. Mmm, his hair. So thick, so almost always good.
( two more on people I just plain love, in a fairly well-populized way )
12) I kind of identify with Shige way too much. Like, when I see him standing around in backstage footage, being sort of awkward, or when Ryo is teasing him or when he's goofing off with Koyama. Not that I'm exactly like him, but he seems like a person I'd know. I feel like I can understand him. XD Normally I don't like that sort of presumption on the part of fans and I think I'm slightly crazy, but he does seem like what would happen if a normal person became an idol and I can't help it! ::squeezes Shige::
OK, four and a half out of those 12 confessions were about Arashi. But yeah. I guess this was also a list of really popular things and people that I like? I tend not to talk about them as much, mainly cos everything's been said, and when I share a taste with a lot of people, I don't consider it a significant aspect of me and my fandom personality or whatever.
Talking to Katie now. Lots of reading to do tonight. DX
(edited entry slightly because it seemed a bit obnoxiously long, and I bolded bits for easy skimming to the person/group you're interested in.)
