A confession: Time Concert DVD

I just watched it.

Honestly, this is the first time ive seen the WHOLE concert..

i didnt download any fancams in that manner..

I only watched a few clips , their solos plus love situation perf. .. oh and a few parts in evrybody zenshin..

I did that for a reason.

and god knows how hard it is for me not to see any picspams of the concert.

It was like i saw it and i ddnt. haha. My brain was filtering the pics i wanted to see.

Our DVD arrived yesterday.

My hands were shaking and it was so cold after i got the notice frm the post office.

Im completely CLUELESS about the concert. I didnt even knw their song list. I waited this long for this concert. I thought.. if i cant watch them LIVE.. im gonna make my own memories in this concert. As much as possible.. i dont want to hear anything realted to it. I dont want to expect anything. I dont want to look for things other fans have seen. I wanted to create my own world with them for the first time. And I succeeded..

Anywayz...

As I started to pop the contents of the DVD on the player. My eyes were welcomed by the ARASHI TIME DVD menu. I pushed the play button.. and then the PARTY BEGINS!

Call me ignorant. Call me dense. Call me whatever. BUT HOMG. I was literally jaw dropping after i saw the stage. Really, Japan's concert is really awesome. Not only am i referring to the performers but the stage as well.. Tick Tock Tick Tock. ANd my heart goes Tug-tug-tug-tug.

And then they appeared.

First Impression:

Aiba - WAAH!!! KAkkoi AIBA!!!!!!!!!

Matsujun - HOMG! The signature pose!!!!!

Nino- THANK GOD his hair isnt as messy as I thought it was.. Thank GOD this was taken months after that spongy hair..THANK GOD!

Ohno - The feathers are much bigger than him

Sho - &*^&%^$^$- HOMG! SHO LOOKS SOOOOO CUTE!!!!! One of the few concert dvd's where he has a really nice hair. I smsed my Kat about it twice. Shes also a Sho wifey btw.

I wont go thru all the concert.. BUT  their solos...

Aiba - His solo has a friendly aura. Hes someone I wanted to hug and cuddle. Aiba never fails to entertain me with his sweet smile and genki look. Hes like a cute cuddly plushie i wanna take home whenever i feel depressed. He has this healing power to make the people beside him be genki and he doesnt even know it. 

Matsujun - The best solo of him in my opinion. The kind of song that suits his voice and shows the performer in him. I remember reading Arashirin's post. Truly he is the king of Yabai. Tha aura that I missed in him. The look that he enjoys his solo the most. The chibi smile and the young Jun. The first time I heard his Yabai3 song. I instantly have a liking to it. Really something fresh for Jun.

Nino - No words. JUST FREAKINGLY AWESOME! ok. Im a little biased about this. BUT lights were turned off. Silent crowd. him playing the piano.. and then singing his self-composed song. REALLY?? Can it get any better? ITS SOOO PERFECT. I hugged my brtoher as I watched it. Really.. its like extracting all my energy as i watch him play those tunes. I said this before.. If ever he will play Niji in piano live in concert. I might just die. And i did. Squeeling to the MAX!!! OH.. not to mention he was dripping with sweat. with MEGANE as a bonus. GEEZ!1 REALLY Nino knows how to play with fans emotions!!! AHH!! guys!! words are not really not enough how much i adore his solo.. GEEZ.. Goosebumps!! argh!

Ohno - Many have said this but.. he really knows what dancing really means. And dancing it is. its as if he knows no limits. His feet were almost not touching the floors. The moves are super super fast. I dont know how he did it.. or maybe thats just an opinion coming from a non-talented fan like me.

Sho - As I watched his solo. Instantly.. I wanted to become a sofa set. Haha. Maybe all his fans know the reason y. haha. But really.. dont you think hes the hottest person on earth.. [oh well... him and Nino can share the spot.. the sakumiya fan in me taking over... haha.. ] ..Whenever i think about him being a newscaster, a college graduate, the rapper, the artist(?), his air msucles, his talent in sports.. even though he suck at some things.. hes still the perfect guy .. (as described by tracey).. yes.. too perfect...

I like their fans interaction, them being baka, them being cool, how the fans follwed what they were instructing (i.e. Wave..). and them being loved by fans. Sometimes its a wonder how they were able to hold such a large no. of fans in such a big place and touch peoples hearts with them just being the normal them. So many times I wanted to rewind, pause, stop the dvd.. but I didnt. IN Live concert.. i cant do that right.? ^__^ 

their dedication in work, how they wanted to return the love they were receiving, how until now.. they were modest enough that evrytime they held concerts in such great places.. after years of doing it.. they are still overwhelmed by the fans responses.

Aiba, Matsujun, Nino, Ohno and Sho.. YOu trully are the best!

One year of waiting for the Concert.. i could say.. its so worth the wait! truly.. arashi saikou..

One thing i didnt like about the DVD is the camera angle. Sometimes..just when they were starting to dance.. the camera will zoom out! PPOOF! like.. WTH!! show me the steps.. i know how big the dome is..i wanted to know the steps!!! I wanted to see their choreo!! ARGH! and so many times when i wanted to see their full views but the camera man ddint let me.. they were just fousing too much on their faces.. T___T not that i dont like it.. but.. sometimes.. the steps, the stage.. requres  a full view shot. T___T

P.S.

beofre i forgot.. I soo like how Sho and Nino were dancing during the love so sweet. How they were playing around those cranes.. acting like they were stumbling.. etc. WHAT NINO DID ON CRY FOR YOU. THAT JUST KILLED ME!! How SHO EXECUTED ALL THOSE RAP PARTS, all those kissing part.. him playing/showing his muscles, him wearing a turban(?), him and Nino wearing caps. not to mention the Sakuraiba vs. Ohmiya moments. thats just perfect.. ^____^

Ps.S.
