#九百四十二
Yes. It's that time of the year again.
When you're silently(or not,depending on what kind of person you are) celebrating something your family and friends will never understand why it's important to you,and your internet brethren is always,always sympathetic about.
Yes. This day,yet again, marks another year in fandom!

As of today(posted a bit later this year to "cover" both groups' days) I'm leaving behind my 3rd year in the Arashi rainbowland and 4th in Gazette's...rocking grounds(XD)! Continuing strong towards my 4th and 5th year respectively~ ...Something I never imagined I'd say when I was watching my first Shukudai-kun episode and SHADOW VI II I's PV. :p
Speaking of which, I noticed the other day. Next year it's gonna be Gazette's 10th anniversary and also, as I mentioned, my 5th year following their activities. Which sequentially means I will "know" this band for almost half of its existence! :3 I've never had that with any other band/artist/etc. It makes me rather happy about it.
So yeah..Still here. Still very much interested. And still very happy to support,in my own little ways, all these wonderful people who make smile and unknowingly get me through all the difficult days. ^^;; Cheers~

I'm in the Arashi fandom only for 1,5 years and yet it feels like it's been a really long time. Probably because of a decade worth of smiles they gave me :)
Such personal anniversaries are so precious ♥
no subject
it does feel like that sometimes..I mean,my first year felt like forever. XD I had to catch up on so many things!
*nods*nods* ;w;
no subject
Oh believe me I'm still catching up! But with the amount of new information/footage every week I don't think I'm ever going to succeed XD Oh well :)
no subject
I'm so glad that I found out about this band.
SHADOW IV II I and zetsu just put me in rock star mode. lol
I can't believe that Gazette is only nine years old.
BTW what do you think of their new PV preview.
no subject
well..considering how alot of bands in the scene never make it past their 3rd year or sth,or some disband really abruptly,being 9 years old is an achievement if you ask me XD
ugh, I love it &hearts can't wait to listen to the full version of the song!
no subject
(i'm right behind you! :) ) all started that april 2008 with step and go for me! lol.
i'm also still here and still interested! TO MANY MORE YEARS, HOPEFULLY! <3
no subject
*high fives* you could say for me it started on March with Jun(&hearts),but until I...moved to Arashi as a whole,it was already April. XD
yes! to many more~ ;w; I want to go on for as long as they do.

Time moves so fast and the gazemen have changed a lot during the years, I can't help but fall in love with them over and over again. *__*♥
no subject
yeah..but I think that's the beauty of it. X3 seeing a band grow and change through the years~ my favorite part of this business XD
no subject
I missed mine! For some reason I thought it was mid-April but it was March. Two years. :)
I may do some kind of celebratory post later. For now I'm in Ohoku bliss and the rest of the world is still kinda foggy. xD
no subject
if I hadn't posted about these things in the past,I would always forget about them XD oh! おめでとうございます!
(btw speaking of which,I haven't been able to see any of your recent entries on my friend page,so I'm assuming they're private/filtered? :O)
hehe I can imagine
no subject
The only reason I knew I missed mine was because I checked my old LJ entries.
(I actually haven't posted anything since the LA premiere but it looks like I did on my profile because I private post the comm entries there first to check that I haven't made any coding errors. I will probably be doing some personal posts soon and I'm not filtering you out. ;D )
Picspams are inevitable but I was so overwhelmed by the movie I didn't take one cap. Oh darn. Guess I'll have to watch it again. XD
no subject
In the beginning I thought of taking some..but from a point on I was so absorbed,I totally forgot. XD hohoho~ :3 I really,really liked as well. |D I watched a lot of parts more than once after my first watch of the movie, partly because "lakjdlksj Nino *__*" and partly because I was..brave enough to watch it with japanese subtitles and there was lots of kanji-searching involved sometimes. XD
no subject
Japanese subtitles, I'm impressed. I know the traditional language used was supposed to make it trickier to understand.
Even though there were already English subs out by the time I got mine I really just wanted to watch the DVD straight up. I've read the manga multiple times so I knew it wouldn't be confusing and I'm so used to raws (even though my Japanese skills are obscenely beginner level) that I sometimes forget to read the English subtitles when I watch them. It is awfully nice to know what they're saying though so it'll be great to have another excuse to watch the movie again.

It's quite the moving feeling looking back at all the wonderful times you've had in fandom ;w;
And surprising when you realise how time flies :o
Happy 3rd and 5th respectively! Here's to many more to come :3/ *raises glass in toast*
Και Καλό Πάσχα as well xD
