Been focusing most of my posts on my LJ, but anyway. :)

 

Just wanted to say hi to you all! *waves*

Since I had so much fun making the first one (here), and everyone seemed to enjoy it, I thought I'd take another stab at writing a sequel -- this one based on New Moon (or in this case, New MatsuMoon). I hope you guys enjoy it. I had a harder time making this one funny, but I hope it was cute and nice. Also, I totally recommend checking out Kytana's Arashi/Twilight parody mix-up. It's very cute and awesome, too! Plus, she gave me the ideas to write these in a first place.

 

Disclaimer: I niether own Twilight, or Arashi (although I'd LIKE to own Arashi).

 

 

Arashi Twilight Fail – THE SEQUEL
New MatsuMoon

Ohno: Nino?
Nino: Yeah?
Ohno: Have you noticed Matsumoto’s eyebrows lately?
Nino: Shh! Don’t let him hear you talking about them. You know he’s very sensitive about it.
Ohno: That’s the thing. I’m worried. Have you noticed how much hairier they’re getting?
Nino: Yeah. Maybe he missed his threading appointment or something.
Ohno: No, I think it’s something more. I think that he’s-

[Enter Aiba]

Aiba: Hey, guys! Do you have a dog running around in here? There’s been a lot of shedding on the studio furniture lately.
Nino: Probably just Shimura zoo creatures shedding on you, Aiba, and you bringing it here.
Aiba (scowls): I’ll have you know, I wear a jump suit as protection from the shedding, and the peeing, and the pooping–
Ohno (impatiently): ANY WAY, guys! Why I’m trying to say here is that that I think Matsumoto is becoming-

[Enter Sho]

Sho: Hey, Aiba. Are wolves native to Japan?
Aiba: I don’t think so… Why do you ask?
Sho: Last night when I was about to go to bed, I thought I heard –
Ohno (furious already, bursts): I THINK MATSUMOTO IS TURNING INTO A WEREWOLF!

[everyone blinks and stares]

Sho: …and?
Ohno (blinks): You don’t seem very surprised.
Jun (from behind Ohno, sounding bored, but really very pissed): It’s so cheering to hear your band members questioning your humanity.
[Ohno is struck and horrified by his appearance]
[Jun scratches his head]
Jun (upset and trying not to show it): Well, anyway, later guys.

Ohno: Oh… no! What have I done?
Nino: You didn’t sound very surprised, Sho-kun.
Sho: Well, I wouldn’t be. I’m a vampire, remember?
[Sho flashes his shiny, pointy teeth]
[Everyone just laughs, not believing in him]
Sho (a little upset): What? Well I am.
Aiba: No offense, Sho – but I don’t think any writer could have dreamed up a vampire with so much fail.
Nino: Aiba’s right, Sho. Vampires are way too cool for you to even consider being one.
[Ohno nods]
Sho (frowns, sarcastically): Thanks, guys.
Aiba (glomps): It’s okay, Sho. We still love you.
Sho (under his breath, whining): But I really am a vampire…
Nino: Any way, here’s the question – how can we get on Jun’s good side now? Even though he seemed calm, he was actually really pissed.
Ohno (upset): I know. I didn’t mean it – it’s just that, well… I really DID think he was a werewolf. The bushy eyebrows, and the shedding, and howling-
Nino: The HOWLING?
Ohno: Well, he was in the bathroom, and next thing I know, I hear him howl…
Sho (goes pale): I think I remember hearing it too. I thought it was… an animal outside.
Nino: But they’re got to be a reasonable explanation for this. Like maybe he stubbed his toe in the shower? Remember Aiba and the glitters, and how we thought he'd turned into a Twilight vampire?
Aiba (nods): Yep. (scowls) I’m never using glitter again!
Ohno: -except for when it’s on our con outfits!
Aiba (nods): Except for our con outfits.
Sho (giving a small smile): Right.
Ohno: So now what do we do – about MatsuJun’s bad mood, I mean.
Nino: Now… we plot.

[plotting]

Aiba (approaches Jun): Heeey, Jun-kun?
Jun (looks up from his newspaper, cranky): What?
Aiba: Have you seen my razor? I seem to be getting a bit hairier than usual lately.
Jun (blinks). What are you talking about?
Aiba: You know, the usual… I just feel so dog-gone hairy lately.
Jun (tentatively): Then maybe you should get a hair cut?
Aiba (starts, the idea just hit him, and gets excited): Hey! You’re right! Thanks for the idea Jun, you’re the best.
(Aiba turns to leave… then at the last second, turns around and glomps Jun)
Aiba: Thanks! Bye! (runs away before Jun can catch him).
Jun (mutters something under his breath)

[Enter Sho]
Jun (mutters): Oh, great.
Sho: Hey, Jun! Did you recently hear a wolf howling outside your window last night?
Jun (freezes): What? Oh. (Sarcastically) I see what you mean. “Jun is a werewolf”. Very funny, Sho. I’m sure you guys had a real ball with that one.
Sho (plops down on the couch beside Jun, pouting): Aw, I’m sure Ohno didn’t mean it that way. He was worried for you. I think all the sun exposure in fishing must have addled and fried his brains a little. He wasn’t thinking straight. Besides. I wouldn’t mind if you were a werewolf.
Jun (freezes again): You… wouldn’t?
Sho (shakes his head and smiles): Nope! And neither would the other guys. It wouldn’t change who you are, inside.
(Jun starts to smile at that)
Sho (continues, happily): You’d still be the same, sadistic, DoS Hime Princess of Arashi that always wears nail polish and hair extensions-
(Jun, furious, gets up off his chair and smacks Sho on the head with his newspaper before walking away)
Sho (calls out after him): See what I mean?

[Sho returns to Nino, rubbing his head]
Sho: Our plan failed, by the way.
Nino (looks up from playing his Nintendo DS] What?
Sho: Jun. He’s still mighty pissed.
Nino: Oh. Well of course he’d be pissed. You guys called him a werewolf.
Sho (scowls): Yeah, duh. That’s why we came up with a plan - to make him feel better about being hairy, and being called a werewolf. That’s why Aiba and I talked to him, right?
Nino (distracted, playing the game): Huh? Oh, no. I just gave you guys something to do, so you’d leave me alone and I could finish my game. And hey: it worked!
Sho (scowls): Great. Thanks to your “plan”, Jun hit me in the head with a newspaper.
Nino (looks up): Did he? (laughs)
Sho: You brat!

[Enter Aiba]

Aiba: Hey! What are you guys talking about?
Sho: The plan. It failed.
Nino: Is Ohno still in hiding?
Sho: Yeah. He’s afraid of what Jun might say or do if he saw him.
Aiba: You know, he might just be using Jun as an excuse to go fishing.
Sho: No, Ohno seemed genuinely upset over it. He said he couldn’t even think of fishing because Jun was that angry with him.
Aiba: Oh…
Nino: Can you guys keep it down? I’m trying to beat level 15 here, and the monster is kicking my -- arggh!! I just died. (Puts away his DS game) Okay, now what’s up, again?
Sho: Ohno. He’s in hiding from Jun. And Jun’s still pissed.
Nino: Well, first things first. Let’s find Ohno. And then we’ll take care of Jun.
Sho and Aiba: Yosh!

[Later]
[Sho, Aiba, and Nino are trying to drag Ohno out of a closet]
Nino: You can’t stay in there all your life, Ohno.
Ohno: I can and I will. (clinging to the closet doorway)
Aiba: What about cons?
Sho: What about fishing?
Ohno (gets a longing look in his eyes): I guess I can… always just read fishing magazines for the rest of my life.
Nino (annoyed): You’re being so melodramatic. It’s just Jun.
(The rest stare at him like he’s stupid).
Nino: Then again, you guys are right. He’s Jun.
Ohno: You see? See what I mean? And why I can go back? I know! I’ll live like a hermit. Yeah… or a Buddhist monk. Where do hermits live anyway?
Sho: The woods. (Teasingly) With the wolves .
Nino (shoots him a dirty look, mutters to Sho):  Not helping…
Aiba: Uh… guys? I hear footsteps.
Ohno: Oh no! It’s Jun!
(Ohno dives back in the closet)
Jun: Hey guys.
Nino (tentatively): Hey… Jun. Wow, you seem to be in a better mood.
Jun: Yep. I had a lot to think about today.
Sho (gives a deep bow): We are truly sorry if we made you feel bad, and called out a werewolf.
(Nino drags Ohno out from the closet, who comes and bows deeply to Jun)
Ohno: Yes. And I’m also truly sorry, Jun, for thinking that in the first place.
Jun (gives a small smile): That’s okay. I really had a lot to think about, about what Sho said to me today. About how you guys wouldn’t care if I really was a werewolf. Well - that meant a lot to me.
Sho (taken aback): Oh. Well… Glad I could help.
Jun: About how you guys accept me for who I am - although, yes, the speech as a bit rude (he gives a quirky smile). All is forgiven. So… I guess I can finally tell you guys.
Nino: Tell us what?
Jun (takes a deep breath): I really am a werewolf.
(Big pause of silence. Everyone except Jun and Sho starts laughing)
Aiba (laughing): That’s SO funny, Jun! I didn’t realize how funny you were.
Nino (laughing): Yeah! This is even better than my Ni No Arashi pranks segment. That’s classic, Jun! Really.
Ohno (laughing): Okay, you got me! You really did. I am sorry for accusing you… and thank you for taking it with a bit humor!
Jun (confused, and a bit helplessly): But I - I really…
(Sho puts a hand on his shoulder)
Sho (wisely): It's okay. Trust me.

THE END

Ruff!

[After the credits]
[Jun and Sho having coffee… chatting]
Sho: So, Jun, what kind of wolf do you turn into anyway?
Jun (embarrassed): Well… it’s more of type of dog.
Sho: Oh, well that’s cool. What kind?
Jun: A poodle.

The REAL End!

Aiba: Hey, guys! I found a poodle!

Okay, this video, I had never seen it before. I can't stand this song, since it's so much rap. I don't like their rap songs. Mostly because I can't understand what they're saying. While I can't understand what they're saying ANYWAY, at least with melodic songs, I enjoy the music. Rap is all about the words... which fail me. lol. But anyway.

This PV I'd never seen before, but now that I seen it, and LOLed at it so much for it's trying-to-be-cool thing.

Jun rapping was my personal high point, lol. Jun, seriously buddy. You're hot and stuff, but rapper material? Not so much.

But in the end for me, this PV was still so much love. It's definately gonna be one for my iPod to watch on.

Oh, it's on now!! And the irony? I "started' the challenge even before I knew one was going on. XD

 

Well, I started this earlier, so I guess it still counts, since the thing goes on from July 1 to December 31st. :)

1. Read Persuading Annie ... which is a modern-day retelling of Persuasion.

Okay, so I already read that last week, but no worries!!

 

2. Watch Gwenyth Powtrow's version of Emma the movie.

Which I did yesterday! XD

 

3. Re-read Persuasion

Which I'm gonna have to do for the summer challenge @ Goodreads.

 

4. Watch Sense and Sensibility 2008... which I'd been meaning to do.

 

 

5. Read The Importance of Being Emma

 

You know what? I wish someone would develop a Jane Austen role-playing video game. Seriously. Like, something in the vein of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR).

I mean, why not?

They already have:

1. A Pride and Prejudice boardgame
2. A Pride and Prejudice manga/comic
3. A Pride and Prejudice "choose your own adventure" type book

Why not a video game? Think of it, like in the beginning of KOTOR you can choose what kind of character to be:

1. Witty
2. Smart
3. Talented
4. Pretty

And using your talents, you gotta snare a husband.

You can end up being the "heroine" or the "bitchy one" depending on your choices and interactions with friends, family, and enemies/rivals. :)

You collect coins, earn talents (like upgrading "jedi" style)... deal with having unfortunate relatives, good friends, spotting enemies, etc.

Ultimate goal? Marriage (and hopefully, a happily ever after). :)

What do you think?

Sucks, man.

I went to Anime Expo on Friday... and I didn't see the Morning Musume concert (although I wanted to... but the friend I was with wasn't inclined... so I didn't think it a big deal). Turned out to be the highlight of this year's Anime Expo. And I missed it. :(

Feeling crappy.

Though I shouldn't care.

but I did get a Ouran Host Club wall scroll. My first ever. Yippie!

First,

 

ARASHI!!

Concert!! (highlight to read, I guess)

NEW BEST ALBUM with 32 songs!!!!

 

 

In more somber news,a FORMER Johnny's, Yuta Enomoto, is arrested. O_O

 

 

After some banter back and forth with Kytana... b/c my facebook profile pic makes me look like bella, she mentioned having Aiba that "sparkles" <3 And that inspired the both of us to write a fic with Aiba that sparkles! ^_^ So here's mine, and I can't WAIT to read Kytana's! <3 Much love, girl! This one is dedicated to you. And to Aiba that Sparkles. <33

 

TWILIGHT FAIL
Starring Arashi (Minus Sho, until the very end)

Scene 1

(Aiba enters room where Nino is sitting, not paying attention to him)
Aiba: Nino.
Nino: (mildly annoyed, not looking up) What?
Aiba: I'm sparkling.
Nino: (looks up, sees Aiba sparkling, and jumps up) Holy --! What happened to you, Aiba?
Aiba: (looking at his arms as they sparkle) I dunno, I woke up and I was sparkling in the sun.
Nino: (starts pacing around) Oh my God. I know what this is. (runs fingers through hair) This is terrible, this is - AIBA! What do you think you're DOING??
(Aiba is running around outside in the sun, yelling, "Weeee!")
(Nino tackles Aiba down, and drags him back inside the house)
Nino: THIS IS NO TIME TO PANIC!
Aiba: (reasonably) Then why are you panicking?
Nino: Pfft. I'm not. I'm merely trying to save you from your own stupidity.
(Nino sits Aiba down, sits accross from him, and look him in the eyes)
Nino: Do you know what this means?
Aiba: Err... now I'll match our con outfits? (grins)
(Nino smacks him on the forehead)
Aiba: Ow (rubs spot on forhead)
Nino: Don't be obtuse. It means... (cue horror music) This is a really bad Twilight fic.

[Enter title Credit: the word "Twilight" is crossed out and next to it is writing "Sparkly Aiba"]

Scene 2

(Nino walks up to Jun)
Nino: (darkly) We have a problem?
Jun: (looks up from doing nails) Eh? Don't tell me your nail polish ran out again.
Nino: (hisses) I TOLD you never to mention that again! It was only that one time.
Jun: (smirks) Sure.
Nino: Actually, the problem is...
(Half-naked Aiba appears in the background, running around in the sun, shouting, "I SPARKLE!")
Nino: (darkly) THAT.
Jun: (drops nail polish) Oh... my.
[enter Ohno]
Ohno: What's up, guys?
Jun: (runs hand through his hair) Nothing. Only the fact that Aiba is turned into the victim of a really bad Twilight-slash fic.
Ohno: (bites into apple) Really? Do you think he might wanna come fishing with me?
(Jun and Nino stare at Ohno, dumbfoundly)
Ohno: What?
Jun: Your tan...
Ohno: (eyerolls) Yes, I know I'm tanned-
Nino: (grabs Ohno's right wrist) No, LOOK!
(Ohno's arms, up to his elbows, are pale white)
(Nino and Jun look up at each other in horror)
Ohno: (holds out apple with both hands, and laughs) Hey, look guys! This reminds me of a book cover I saw at Borders-
(Jun snatches Ohno's wrist this time) Oh, God. we've got to get some help this time.
Nino: (nods) Yes, this is desperate. Only one person can save us now.
Jun: (eyes narrow) The author.

Scene 3

(Liz, in her room, in front of the computer, typing.
There is a knock at the door.
Liz jumps up out of her seat, leaves the computer, and opens it.
There, standing by the door is a furious, and glowering Nino and Jun. Behind them is a bemused Ohno, and Aiba, who looks like he wants to run around in the sun,
is actually wearing black clothes - long sleeved, with a hoodie, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, long black pants, and black doc martins. Obviousy he was made to wear these
by Jun and Nino)
Liz: (neverously) He...llo?
(Nino and Jun push their way into the house)
Jun: What are you doing here?
Liz: (mildly annoyed) I was gonna ask you guys the same question. You're ARASHI. What are YOU guys doing here?
(Nino shoves Aiba in front of Liz, who bumps into her, and they nearly topple over)
Nino: HE'S the reason we're here.
(Aiba gives a sheepish smile)
(Nino takes off Aiba's hoodie, and they all gasp as they see the glitter on his body)
Liz: Oh... my.
Jun: We figured out YOU are the fic author.
Nino: Yeah! So DO something about this.
Liz: This isn't MY fault.
Nino: Um, yes. It is.
Liz: (stares at Aiba carefully) Just wondering, what were you doing last night?
Aiba: (surpised by the question) Oh! Hum... (thinks about it) I was working on a birthday card to the Age-jo girls.
(Aiba's eyes widen in revelation)
Aiba: Ahh!!! That's right! I was putting the glitter on the cards before I fell asleep. I think I fell asleep into a pile of glitter on the table.
Liz: (looks smugly at Nino) Mm-hm..
Nino: (narrow's his eyes) Well, that still doesn't explain OHNO'S pale, white arms.
Liz: (pulls a confused-looking Ohno forward by the arm) It rubs off, see? (rubs white powdery stuff off)
(Nino and Jun look at each other, amazed)
(Ohno looks from one boy to the other)
Ohno: I was gonna tell you guys, before you dragged me on an Airplane and brought me to the U.S., that I was baking a cake.
Jun: Pfft! Who bakes a cake up to their elbows in flour?
Ohno: (sheepish) I heard certain tackle-fish like cake for bait.
(Jun and Nino are dumbfounded).
Liz: (loops her arm through Aiba's) Shall we go and have some dinner?

THE END

Sho: what about me? I wasn't in this movie!!
Liz: (pats him) It's okay, Sho. Next time.
(shot of Sho with golden eye-contacts)
Sho: Aww, man. And I was gonna tell everyone I was a vampire. (sniffles)
