Oct. 10th, 2016 10:10 pmSo I've just realized I've been a fan of Arashi for ten years as of 2016.
I don't remember the exact date I started following them, but I do remember Kitto Daijoubu was their latest single. Which, I just looked up, was in May 2006. At that time almost every one of their shows were on Youtube (back when no one cared and copyright strikes weren't a thing) and I barely understood a word of Japanese, but I liked their songs and watched whatever clips of G no Arashi and their Iza,Now! and How's It Going concerts were also on Youtube. The 2004 24hTV too, which I think is the main thing that just made me fall in love with them. So. Yeah.
So ten years. I'm actually surprised, I didn't realize it was that long. TBH there have been years where I stopped following them, too busy with RL and my interests just shifted to other things, but I've always loved them anyway. And I always come back. I mean... they just own me at this point.
... anyway. It was a little quiet realization I just had. I'm a bit emotional about it too. Ten freaking years, man.
