Endless Sky

(Source: furoido)

When the traces of my tears have dried,
I'll call out to you once again, so answer me
I realized that I'm not alone, let's make our way toward that shining door together

There's an endless sky out there
I hear a clear voice telling me now,
So shall I change this 'self' that is unable to fly?
Let me take that first step and, no matter how many time it takes,
Start over again....

There's nothing you can't see
I hear a clear song telling me,
An undying hope is here
I'll always be ready to stand back up on my feet again
With all my might

My heart aches for Japan. For those people who have lost their loved ones. For those who lost their home. For those who lost their town. For those who lost their lives. But, yes, there is an endless sky out there. Life continues like that horizon above us. It does not end here. I want to say "so be strong" to those people. I want to say "things will get better, for sure." Just like the sun never failing to rise every morning. But my voice is powerless at the moment. My words irrelevant and weightless.

Help is what matters at this time. I admire how quick Arashi fans have organized a fundraiser to help Japan. To date, they have already raised $21,000. Even though a lot of them may not know people personally who are currently living in Japan. Like me, the people they probably know most are Arashi and the people that had worked with the boys. I don't get why people get exasperated by the overly concern of fans for Japanese artists. If that is how people relate to Japan, then I see nothing wrong with that. What matters is people are concerned and they want to help.

I'm still in the office at the moment, so I can't search for the link of the fundraiser that the Arashi fans community has organized over at LJ. I'll edit this and repost it as soon as I get home.

Everything you need to know about the fandom fundraiser is here >>AQR<<

It doesn't really matter which fundraiser one gives their donation to. As for me, the best option is 24HRS TV's. I don't have the link and the tutorial with me right now (the site is in Japanese). I'll put all link later when I'm home.

Here are the screencaps with guide on how to make a donation to 24HRS TV, as shared by Matsubunny at Arashi no Jidai. The webpage is https://cr.ntv.co.jp/24htv/charity/

where it does not end

I'm starting the year right, ne? *laughs*

To my most beautiful bb, お誕生日おめでとう! ♥


And here's a cool fan-project just for hysus' day, Secret Celebration ~hyde illustation book~. I like the one with the white tiger the best. Seeing those fan-arts makes me want to draw. But I don't do drawing. LOL. I must say, there have been very few faces I've seen that inspired me to draw them. And, in my life so far, I've only tried to seriously draw just 2, one is hyde and the other one is...... Xena. *laughs* I'm not kidding though. I used to love the show. I don't know. But, shame, I've never met a kid who had the same love for it as I had. Err, why am I bringing up this subject into my post. This is supposed to be only about hysus! Oh well, what done is done. Gomen ne. =)

Hello, My Dear

Head down as I watch my feet take turns hitting the ground
I should, I find myself in love racing the earth

And I'm soaked in your love
And love was right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong

I wanna run, run, smash into you
I wanna run, run, smash into you

2011.

I love the sound of it. I am in love with it. This will be a beautiful year, I declare. 2011 means L'Anniversary. And, possibly, Arashi's 3rd Asian tour --but hopely not yet, unless, somehow, I get to Japan then they can start their tour *laugh*. L'Anniversary starts too early for me this year. This May, in fact! I don't know how I can get to Japan by May. But in some way or another, hoping against hope, that I'll get there in time. They say that the world might end on 2012. If I get to see and listen to my BBs live this year, then all hell can break loose in 2012. Hahaha. So, anyway, excuse my blather. It's the fangirl in me talking.

Hmmm..... I actually have no other goal for 2011, apart from my fangirl fantasies. LOL. Life is gradually becoming too small for me. No, life isn't. Scratch that. My space is becoming too small. I don't feel like doing anything. This is bad. Real bad. I have been living under a rock and it seems I don't want to crawl out anytime soon. I guess, if I'm in Japan maybe I'll find something..... something useful to do. Haha.

For now, let's just say I'm madly in love with 2011. Maybe this year I can finally see Japan. And then, somehow, I'll meet Aiba-baby and then we'll start a new life together. Didn't his younger brother just recently got married, and Aiba said he wants to get hitched soon as well. Hahaha. Yeah, this is the fangirl blather again. I can't seem to veer away from it. Well, it's an obsession. So, I guess, that's the idea, right?

So, before I go back under my rock, my obsession, I wish you all the best this year! *Mmwahh!*
