But first, I just found this really amusing:

(from [livejournal.com profile] redchemistry 's translation of Wink Up's July message board)
okada junichi: to the people below
to matsujun (matsumoto jun) kun: the son of my acquaintance asked for your autograph. when we meet next time, please give me 3 of your autographs.
to sakurai (sho) kun: ...sakurai kun, please give me 2 of your autographs as well.
i'll need 3 autographs from matsujun kun and 2 from sakurai kun. for just a bit, i sound like a sempai (laughes).


There was a strange sort of amusing irony in that whole situation for me personally... =P

Right. Onto pics! (Just a few)


Ryo-chan~ (Oh I love what Eco Week has done for K8's styling.) "Refreshing" is the word. He has... a really cute smile.
My youngest imouto declares that Ryo is "TOO handsome!" and hopes that the Hey! Say! Jump lot, who are around her age, will turn out as good-looking.



I dunno about the rest of you, but I think Maru looks really good here. Really really good. *__*



Hm... I have to admit that lately Ken-kun has been getting good photoshoots. Ikemen da yo! (How can this guy be 28 this year??)



And this is another fellow who's been getting some good photoshoots recently. ♥
I'm not too fond of the pattern on that sweater - it's a bit dizzying after looking at it for a while - but the overall styling is nice. It gives me this vague feeling of English aristocracy. Or something of the sort. :P


I was looking for something Arashi to talk about (I can't help but feel conscious of the fact that some of my f-list miss me rambling on and on about them ^^; ) and since all the recent shoots have very very low appeal for me, I turned to older shoots and came across this one:

(Yeah, I know it's missing Aiba and Nino but I picked the three pics I liked best to put here. Putting all five in a row would have made the image too wide or else the individual pics would have been too small for my liking.)
Artistically, this is definitely one of my favourite Arashi photoshoots. It's from one of the 2003 Wink Up mags. I loved the desaturated and almost pastel colours; they give a nostalgic, relaxed air to the pictures. (I personally think that Ohno's pic has the best colour combination.) And the lines created by the folds of the cloths that the guys hold - especially in the cases of Sho and Ohno - adds the impression of grace and 'flow' which I find really nice. Overall it's a very graceful, calm and faintly nostalgic photoshoot. It doesn't seem to be a common concept for most JE idols' photoshoots, which made this even better. :)


And just for fun...

Seventeen-year-old MatsuJun and Okada (If I estimated the year of the Viva V6 photobook correctly). XD
When I first showed [livejournal.com profile] snoew that pic of Okada, I think she said he looked like MatsuJun. And [livejournal.com profile] skyura said it doesn't even look like Okada. LOL. But it does look like him... doesn't it? hahah


Also... Duet 1995.

ROFL.
The first time I saw this pic, I nearly burst out laughing. I mean... Just look at Kamisen!! Long-haired Ken, cute Go (makes me wonder where the 'bad boy' look sprung from) and Okada with a hairstyle that reminds me of Ohno's when Arashi debuted. ahahahahahaha
I know I didn't look particularly great in my late teens either, but still... I just have to laugh at this. ^_^;
(Nagano looks good though! :Db )

Refreshing I think that's the word I've been looking for. The shoots are lovely really <3

Ken photo shoot <3 I especially love the first picture ^^

Chibi pictures of JE boys always make me smile.

And yes I sure hope the HSJ boys turn out to be good looking men as well. ^^

I wonder what's the Japanese word for "refreshing". Must go look it up...

The first picture is really lovely, isn't it? ^_^

Seventeen years isn't really "chibi" for me, but in any case, Okada was a real good-looking 17-year-old. (Jun was cute in a dorky kind of way.. hehe)

hahaha! They probably will turn out good-looking, that HSJ. I don't particularly care - they're too young for me to bother. XD

We're you able to find it? The Japanese word for refreshing I mean.

It really is *gushes*

Jun has matured so much from that dorky kid and yes Okada was a very good looking seventeen year old.

I don't particularly care - they're too young for me to bother. XD LOL

He does? You mean I'm not imagining it? :3 ♥ lol
