JPop Fest: The Grand Event! [UPDATED]

I'm lazy to do a proper post so I'll post this draft here and fix everything later :D 

And so, my throat (and wallet) survived the first ever Philippines JPop Fest and I actually had fun. It’s great to see fellow Arashians and JPop enthusiasts in the event. What’s more amazing is to see them actually perform on stage.

Various local JPop Fans Club (FC as we call them) did a short introduction and presentation of their clubs. I wasn’t able to get pics or videos of it since I arrived late. There are more than 10 clubs and all are accepting members to join.

I never thought the “Band Battle Royale” would last THAT long… Most fans are eager to start the JPop Dance competition. Out of the band performances, my favorite would be NEXT’s cover of SMAP’s “Kimi iro Omoi” (Akazukin Cha-cha). I miss that song! I was enjoying a lot that I forgot to take a vid of the first part. Lolz!

NEXT – Kimi iro Omoi (SMAP)

Read on for more info during the event!

NazoDi SP Preview

I’ve been in love with the series ever since I first saw it. The storyline’s awesome and I find Sho-chan’s acting quite interesting in this drama (together with TQZ2).

Finally!!!! A Kiss!!! I miss Kageyama and his “ojou-sama”  a lot! Most of all, I miss Kageyama’s “respectful” put-down artist behavior when dealing with Keiko Kitagawa ♥♥♥

Arashi on Hey3x: Wild at Heart + Sho’s birthday surprise (Beautiful World Concert)

The one we’ve been dying to see is finally aired on Hey3x! T.A.B.O.O with Jun, Aiba, Nino and Ohno PAWNED!!!

And…

Did Aiba wore his skirt on backwards or something? Lolz!!!

T.A.B.O.O – Hey Hey Hey

And their Wild at Heart performance is incredible! I missed them and it’s great to hear/see them perform the WHOLE song. With mike stands (and kicking mike stand), it really reminds me of “Hadashi no Mirai”

Arashi – Wild at Heart Perf (Hey Hey Hey)

And, here are your DL links. Remember to thank them!

Wild at Heart

And it’s rampant online in various Arashi and JPop community! Arashi’s new single “Wild At Heart” is up and most fangirls have shared their PV, mp3s and even booklet scans. I really missed Arashi to the point that I’m super excited to see their performance in Music Station (I’m sure they’ll perform there soon!)

Aside from the carrying single “Wild at Heart (ワイルドアットハート)”, the singles consisted of 7 more tracks:

  1. Wild at Heart (ワイルドアットハート)
  2. How can I Love
  3. Tsuite Oide (ついておいで)
  4. Futari no Katashi (ふたりのカタチ)
  5. Wild at Heart (Instrumental)
  6. Tsuite Oide (Instrumental)
  7. Futari no Katashi (Instrumental)

Tracks 1 and 2 are included in the single’s Limited Edition (LE) with Wild at Heart PV DVD. Track 1 to 6 are included in the single’s Regular Edition (RE).

Here’s a preview/short version of what the actual PV. They all look good and… Is it just me or they all look YOUNGER?! Who’s ever thought that their oldest is 31 years old and their youngest is turning 29 this year?

Arashi–Wild at Heart (Short version)

The PV reminds me of a certain K8 song (sorry but I really can’t remember what song) and “Hadashi no Mirai” (maybe because of the mike stands?). It’s upbeat, it’s retro, it’s hip and Arashi can invade my suitcase anytime! The full PV is more fun to watch with Arashi trying to fit inside something which is supposed to be a suitcase. Add the “easy and yet cute” retro dance number.

With that said, here are some DL link that I want to share. Drop a line or two of thanks for the kind people who shared them! If you can’t access the link, it might mean that the post/blog is “Friends Only” and you need to add the user/blog (sometimes, you need to be accepted first) before you can view their posts:
