SIGHS!!!!!
I cannot believe that I am facing this dilemma again for 2008!!!!!!

Every year, my company will have away-days where we will go somewhere as a dept for some fun. For this year, the company trip will be to go Okinawa for 3 days 2 nights. When I first heard of the trip to Okinawa I was excited!!!! I had never been to Okinawa and I heard that it is a beautiful island. It is one of my "To Do" list in Japan too!!!

But wait a minute, the dates they are proposing sounds familar! I checked my calendar and to my dismay, they falls on the dates of Arashi Sapporo concert!!! m(xox)m　

Urgh!!!! And I already have tickets to Arashi Sapporo concerts for both dates!!!

Last year, my company trip went to Sapporo and I couldn't go because I had ticket for Arashi concert in Niigata. As my seat was not bad, I had to pick Arashi over Sapporo!

I cannot believe this is happening to me again!!! At this point of time, I really dont know what should I pick? My heart is about 75% towards Okinawa. But if I do pick Okinawa, it means I will have to sell away my Sapporo tickets. But yet I also want to see the boys for their final leg of their Dream A live con!!!

So which should I pick? Urghh!!!!

Okinawa or Sapporo???

This morning when I came home from my night bus, I rushed to my letterbox in anticipation!!!
My Nagoya tickets should be sitting inside my letterbox waiting for me to open it...
I quickly tore open the letter and saw the word "Arena" staring back at me!!!

OMG!!!!! I cannot believe it!!!! I got Arena seats for both days!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And judging from my Osaka con experience, I think I like where my Arena seats are!
All the members will definitely pass by me!!!
Especially my fave Jun and Sho.
They will definitely be performing longer around my area (if there are no changes to the Osaka rountine!!!)

This puts me in such a GOOD mood for the whole day!!! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Yeah!!!!!! What a way to start the day!!!!
I am still in such a jovial mood....

Ok... I will post some more pictures before I take my night bus back to Tokyo...

The 2nd day concert was great!!!! It was so much more organized than the first day!!! You can feel things are much more smoother... And OmiyaSK made an appearance today again!!!! Yeah!!! I hope they will continue the OmiyaSK for the rest of the concerts!!!!

Ok... Will post both days my concert reports when I get back to Tokyo...

Flowers for the boys!!! What I find interesting is that there are flowers that are addressed to Nino only!!!! Nino!!! That is so rare!!! Usually the flowers are always addressed to Arashi....

Ok... The theme DREAM "A" Live...

Here are what I had bought..

Uchiwa
I cannot resist all...

Chopsticks
I think the chopsticks are very おもしろい interesting!!! It is a pair of chopsticks that you can dismantle and bring along with you anywhere like a travel pack.

Keitai Strap - 2 types
At first I don't really like the caterpillar design very much, but it sort of grows on you...
I like the clean cut Arashi con theme logo better.

Photos
It seemed to me that the group photos are put out in a rush. It is like one is looking at the camera and the other one is not.

Jun - As always he looks good in anything!

Sho - Those eyebags of yours are really heavy!!! You must be very very busy ne!

Arashi Poster:
I think the boys look quite kakoii in them!!! Alot of people bought the poster with everyone in it as you can see many people carrying the poster that is wrapped in green color. I will have preferred that the poster with everyone in it to be a together shot rather than cut and paste of each member.

Arrived at the Kyocera Dome around morning 11plus  and there were already a long queue for the goods. I quickly got into the line and it was a 1 hour wait before I manage to get my goods.

Here are some pictures of the con goods venue...

Ok minna!!!  I had managed to board my bus bound for Osaka.
Right now I am typing away on my laptop with my wireless connection.

Dun know why... but I am just mentally not prepared at all for the start of the Arashi con tour!!! Well, I AM eager to see the boys again!!! But then just feel I havent memorise their latest songs enough, have to touch up on my uchiwas once I reach Osaka etc etc etc...

And plus the feeling is so soon that I am back in Osaka again!!! Just 2 weeks ago, when I was in SUPER-kanjani8 and SUPER-Ryo mood... I went for Kanjani8 concerts in Osaka during the golden week period. Which I had super good time during K8 con. I guess being in K8 mood makes it harder for me to switch back to Arashi mood...

But as I listen to Arashi Dream A live album on my ipod, the feeling of being in love with the boys are slowly coming back again...

AHHHHHHH!!!! Jun, Sho, Nino, Ohno and AIba!!!! Seeing you very soon!!!!

PS: And something interesting... Just sitting diagonally across behind me, there is this girl that is glueing her uchiwa!!! She is still glueing her uchiwa so I cannot make out whose fan is she. Well, it could be other Johnnys fan... but I am pretty sure 99.5% that she is an Arashi fan! Hahaha... Well, who else will travel night bus to Osaka unless there are concerts. Yapari there are other Arashi fans on board other than me!!!! XDDDDD

Oh well! Nothing gets you more excited when you realised that there are other Arashi fans around!!! Hahaha...

OMG!!!!! I cannot believe time passed so fast that tomorrow is the start of Arashi Summer concert tour in Kyocera Osaka Dome!!!

Ok minna... as I am writing... I am going to catch a night bus later tonight bound for Osaka...

Can't wait to see my Arashi boys!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: Who else will be going for the Arashi Osaka concert on Friday and Sunday???

Taking the train home, I will always pass by Nino's Shava Dava CM!!!

Finally, I had managed to take a clear unobstruct pic of Nino!!!
