This is an intro page for this livejournal where I update those who visit about the latest things about me and what I write.  It's also to help me organize since I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive.


About updates on my latest fanfic: 
I am currently on hiatus from fanfic writing.  Latest chapter I have finished is Chapter 5 of "Kagami" posted on 7-14-2009.


To those who visit this LJ:
Hello Minna-san!  Feel free to call me 'keira-chan' or 'aoi-chan' or plainly 'keira_aoi".  That's my pen name, by the way.  My RL friends call me A.J. (yup, that stands for a long first name).  Some of them also call me J or Jay (I love the fact that some people call me J, Arashians you can guess why).  AJ-chan also has a nice ring, ne?  The name Keira is actually one of my favorite girl names and Aoi is one of my favorite Jap words since it's made up of all vowels and it's an Arashi color (okay, that's not the reason really).  Hence my pen name, which I started using when I began writing fanfics.

Hopefully you enjoy what I write, and I just don't mean the fanfiction, but my other entries as well.  Also, if you would like to add me to your friends list, please feel free to do so. No need to ask permission. 

BUT... if your LJ is empty, I might not add you back.  I really like adding people because that means I have a new LJ to stalk and lurk at.  And I like reading what others have to say, even if it's mostly entries that are not fandom related.  However -- and here's my dilemma -- I've been adding people who friend me plus those who want access to my NC-17 chapter (which I now made available at MediaFire in order to avoid doing so)... and because of this... my friends list has become unmanageable.  So forgive me if I don't add you back, especially if we don't share the same interests or if your LJ is empty.

Also, I like to comment a lot on other LJs, but lately have been too busy... for my LJ, please feel free to comment on any of my entries. 


About me as a fangirl: 
A totally hooked fan of MatsuJun and Arashi.  I'm currently into the fansubs by the Stormy Team, taijiproject, yuckiechan's LJ or LJ community as well as a lot of other subbers (see the communities I joined).  I also love watching Arashi concerts and listening to their music and I enjoy reading the Arashi parodies at PVS.  As for my contribution to the fandom, I absolutely love MatsuJun's complex personality which is why I write about him.

Advanced Happy Birthday to my Ichiban!  I might not be able to post later on your actual birthday so I’m doing it a day earlier. 
 
To Jun, arigatou for being who you are.  It is not your accomplishments or you prestige but rather your character that truly moves me.
 
I’ve spent MatsuJun Month concentrating on your epic-fail moments.  It’s not because I enjoy seeing your embarrassed suffering face (although an irritated-with-himself-Jun is absolutely kawaii…) but rather, It’s because I get a glimpse into your passion for giving your all in everything that you do.  Whether its getting chosen last in the Mannequin 5 public voting Specials or getting chosen as Most Dame Arashi, it’s your perfectionist side that makes me see how important you are as a member of Arashi.
 
You are always toughest on yourself and others may say that you are quite strict and unforgiving when a mistake is made.  But I know it’s actually because you feel such a deep responsibility for your actions and those of Arashi.  Each of you have their strengths.  And yours is in influencing all those around you to be their best. 
 
Arigatou for being the perfectionist you are!
 
And as a tribute, here are some of my fave Jun pics (taken from previous jun-a-day posts)…


From kawaii...

     

To kakkoi...


      
 
 
KYAAAA!!!
  
Isn’t he gorgeous?!!!
 
MatsuJun-sama… Otanjoubi Omedetto! 
 
:D

For the past few weeks, I've been immersing myself in Arashi-rabu and have been once again impressed by the idol-industry that houses our Bakakkoi Five.  We fans have not just music, concerts, performances, variety shows, magazines and commercials with which to see Arashi-sama in, but there are also butais, dramas and movies.  And I think it is the acting component that separates idols from just being pop stars.  

Plus, the acting leads us to more "Kyaaa!" moments than we fangirls would otherwise have hoped for...

After finishing MatsuJun's NatsuNiji, I've been feeling a bit lost about what drama to watch next. (Having my own assistant has given me free time! Yosha!!!)  

I couldn't yet face watching "Smile" because ever since I saw Episode 1, I've been secretly fearing MatsuJun's tear ducts... lol... Gomen, ichiban!  I know in my earlier "Smile" post back in 2009 I was saying that it was Vito's tears you were crying in that last scene but now I'm confused thinking on that rationale versus thinking that it just wasn't up to my usual standards for crying scenes... And after watching your crying scene from NatsuNiji, my brain has been left with an even bigger question mark!    
I'm now beginning to think that your features are too rich to emote comfortably for crying scenes...  Uwah!!! (...is hoping other Jun wifeys don't brick her...)  

So in my continued avoidance of "Smile", I watched "Ooku", "My Girl", "Yamada Taro Monogatari" (didn't finish this before, so it's revenge!) and finally "Gantz".  So what do I think?

My official return to the fandom came about last July 24, 2011 when for some reason I was checking out music videos on Youtube and I kept looking for the vids I had really liked in the past.  Of course although I began with English songs, that somehow metamorphosed into researching Arashi... which made me realize that I have missed so much stuff!

I think the last PV I saw was "Troublemaker" and the last live performance I saw was "Monster".  So I began with watching their "Monster" PV and then it escalated to listening to their last two album releases.  Then I searched through all my Arashi files and found out I had the complete subbed "Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku" which took me two nights to finish.  Of course MatsuJun worked his magic on me and after I finished that drama, I was once again hooked.  

The clincher came in the form of a subbed ep of Arashi ni Shiyagare with Gackt-san as their guest that I saw on Youtube (of course it's been taken down by now).  After seeing that show, I just had to see more so I went into the comms and downloaded the eps that have been subbed.  And with each ep, I absolutely fell in love with the format of this program. 

Several days later, I'm now listening to Arashi songs while in the shower.  And I've started remembering so many things and so many feelings.  It even shocked me to find out that Sho-kun has moved out of his parents house and is now living alone... When did this happen??

There were times when I thought I would never get back to fangirling.  I got too tired of keeping up with Arashi news especially when I got buried in all the stuff I hadn't read, seen or heard about them and it was all just piling up.  Maybe I got back into the fandom because I started the job hiring process for my assistant with work and I felt I could finally commit once again to our beloved Arashi-sama.

I don't really know the reasons why it feels like I can fangirl again.  But now that I've returned, I just want to say... Kyaaaa!!!

It's been a while since my last entry, and sadly this post isn't a happy one...

It was such a surreal thing watching the news yesterday and seeing how areas of Japan were washed away by the Tsunami.  Some interviews explained how Japan has prepared for the earthquake through structural integrity of the buildings, but there is no accounting for the devastation wrought by that Tsunami.

I was glad to hear that Arashi-sama were ok especially when I saw clips of the fires in Chiba Prefecture.  They were my first thought when I saw all that was happening.  I hope Arashi-sama's families are also ok.

The body count is rising with over 1000 lost.  I am so sad that these tragedies and natural calamities keep happening... It feels as though the Earth is somewhat punishing us as more and more countries experience some form of disaster.

I am praying for Japan and for all who have experienced similar loss.

My thoughts and hopes are with you...

A fangirl entry long overdue, and I say this because:
  1. Work life has eaten up my fangirling life.  And my answering chant to this sad reality is... Yada! Yada! Yada!
  2. I never have dreams about Jun.  Or maybe I have, but I totally don't remember them.  So this is my first (and hopefully not last...)
  3. And finally, I miss posting at LJ!!!  I may check the Arashi comms but I do miss posting and reading entries of my fellow LJ-users.
So anyway, my dream earlier this morning started inside a restaurant that was obviously set-up for a fan-meet with all the members of Arashi.

Hi all !

I've been totally remiss in everything LJ-related... but I just wanted to greet all of you a Happy New Year!!!

(Hugs everyone!)  XD

2009 has been great for Arashi-sama's projects, but I'm really glad it's over.  A lot of bad things happened the past year, especially to families affected by all the calamities and all the financial downturns that took place...

So hopefully 2010 is better...

Last year, I made a lot of New Year's resolutions... but I only got to achieve a handful, so this year, I'm just going to say "Ganbatte!"

As for updates about me, my life is still pretty much a jumble of working and finding personal time for all my interests.  I've lately been conceptualizing ideas for an original fic.  Wooooh, sounds ominous! 

Anyway, hope you guys had a great Christmas and hope 2010 treats us all very well!

I was watching "Planet Terror" on cable (I don't recommend this because there are just too many cuts)... and I became totally engrossed with Freddy Rodriguez... so much so that I googled and googled until I found myself looking at fanvids...

I find this 5'4 (he's shorter than Arashi!!!), 30 something actor absolutely hot.  I always thought he was cute and handsome but HOT was added to all those labels after I saw that movie.  Grungy and grimy isn't really my thing but there's just something about looking gorgeous even with unkempt hair, blood dripping into your face and an unshaven beard that caught my eye.  Plus, facial hair brings out the masculinity in a man's features...

Anyway, in the middle of all this research, I minimized everything and stared at my wallpaper of Jun... After a few seconds... my mind went "Sorry I'm ignoring you but this guy is just too hot! Not that you aren't but... aaargh, gomen!"  And then I went back to researching Freddy...

At around 2:45 am, I check on the fandom... and what do I find?!?!?

PICTURES OF JUN LOOKING SO FREAKIN' HOT AND KAKKOI WITH A STUBBLE ! ! !
(And I read that he plans to keep this look for a while...or at least for a few days)

I remember that Sho had a grungier look in that GnA ep where he and Ohno "leap on a pole and cross a river to the other side" -- don't remember what it's called... Anyway, Sho's look at that time didn't work for me but somehow Jun's look now does!!

Call me biased!  Heck, call me obsessed!  It's all true!

To Jun wifeys, doesn't it just make you "Kyaaa" thinking that's what he looks like when he wakes up in the morning, snuggling a pillow under his blanket and refusing to wake up even when his alarm clock is ringing??!!  Then he turns over and snuggles you instead, then you feel his stubble scratching your skin and you swat him lightly to stop him doing that and then...

KYAAAA!!!


*drops to the floor in a puddle from her own nosebleeds*

...

*The Jun wallpaper laughs over my collapsed body*

....

*And as I get up, I glare at him*

...

(Gomen, gomen, inner mind theater...)

XD

Anyway, as I end this post, I say to Jun...

"Fine! You win! You just erased Freddy from my head!! Happy now?!! You evil, evil man!!!!"

(Gomen, Freddy!!!)

P.S. To all those attending the Arashi Party on Saturday, see you there!!!  XD

The past three weeks have been totally tiring!  Work, work work!  And by the time I get to watch Arashi subs or check my LJ for updates, my eyes are drooping and I can barely stay awake...  I've been working at least 10 hours a day and I've had it!

So I went to Youtube today for the latest in Arashi kawaii-ness... and...

YEY for 5x10!  I love the melody (and I was secretly cheering as I listened to Jun's solo...)

YEY for Aiba's new drama! (I'm so happy for him and for all of us fans!!!  Papa Aiba!!)

YEY for all the Youtube clips of the improved HnA! (gotta love this new format!!!)

YEY for all my LJ friends who got tickets to Arashi's 10th year concerts! (Wah!  I'm so jealous!!!)

YEY for my ichiban who's about to celebrate his birthday! (This is his month but I'm not doing anything special... *feels guilty*)

And YEY for me moving heaven and earth in terms of my workload and schedule so that I can attend the Arashi/Jun party on August 29!  To all my Arashi LJ friends who were there at the Nino party... I am definitely not missing this one!... So off to Manila I go by August 27!  And I'm so thankful that all the things I need to do in Manila can coincide within this time frame!!!

YATTA!!!

XD
