Every time you click on this
link and buy something...you'll donate to me~ :3 Don't worry, you won't pay extra or anything for the items, so consider this as something like charity~ They'll deduct a small percentage from the amount you paid and return it to me in the form of store credit so if I want to buy anything from Play-Asia, I'll be using your donations~ You see? I get no money either, just items like everyone else ^w^
Help the unemployed? I'll...uhh..provide more subs? XD *sparkles and cute faces* <3

lol, got this from dunadan~
Now, got this one from 深遠な
meme RULES :
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover
You then take the pic and add your band name and the album title to it, then post your pic.
It's actually not bad :P 'Elsita', the name of a species of moth (according to Wiki) sounds cool for a band name. Almost sounds vampire-ish...then the album title is 'as mediocre as possible' XDDD I'd actually go for this album art if I wasn't so musically challenged lol~
Random and lots of fun~ :D
Aww, I share laughs with Nino, how adorable~ yeah, I'll laugh if I get through Dragon Quest before him XD *is delusional* don't mind me being totally random once again~
Since there's a lot of Arashi fans all over the world, I'd like to ask you guys:
How do you say 'Storm' in your language?
Since I'm from Malaysia, in Bahasa Malaysia, if we say 'Ribut' it means storm :3 So since I'd like to make a little list of sorts, I'd like to know how you'd say 'storm' in your language ^^
The list so far:
1. Malaysia: Ribut (pronounce: ree-boat)
2. Japan: Arashi (Kanji: 嵐, Hiragana: あらし)
3. Sweden: Storm (pronounce with a longer 'o' sound: 'stooorm') [Tack så mycket, Sofia!]
4. Hungary: Vihar (pronounce 'vee-har') [Köszönöm szépen, AnitafromH!]
5. Italy: Tempesta [Grazie, Martina Chan~!]
6. Mexico (& those who speak Spanish): Tormenta [Gracias, minaviga!]
7. France: Tempête [Merci, Winkychan~]
8. Germany: Sturm [Danke schön, Nanao!]
9. Philippines: Bagyo [Maraming salamat, Yuubi!!]
10. Indonesia: Badai [Terima kasih, risu_chan!]
11. Thailand: Paya (pronounce 'pa-yu') [Kob kun, kikkizz!]
12. Vietnam: Bão Tố (pronounce bao-to) [Caam uhrn neow, CoolnCute!]
13. Poland: Burza [Dziękuję, Klara!]
It's for Valentine's and I found it cute so thought I'd share. Don't read if you don't wanna :P I was checking up on the news as usual today and decided to head to News on Japan just to read up on the headlines of Asahi and Mainichi Shimbun. Then I came across this cute little tidbit:
Not only have Kit-Kat in Japan have been stuffed into cans to be sold in their gadzillion vending machines, they come up with something cute like this @_@ You can read more about it here. Even the shape is cute >_< It's called 'Lucky Little' because if you buy a pack, take all the chocolates out of the bag and count the white and pink coloured chocolates, head over to their website and key in the number of chocs, you get your fortune! Ah, the Land of Kawaii *pokes the Japanese for being creatively weird* X3
In other news, I know people are more widely aware of KDDI ever since Arashi's CMs, so here's their phone selections for Spring 08:
Lastly, referring to last Monday's News Zero Ichimen: (Head over to Tenjo-chan's post if you're not sure what it was about)
Softbank is encouraging Microsoft's bid for Yahoo although Yahoo is seriously declining the offer, stating that it's too low and it doesn't match up to their value (it now stands at $47.8 bil). Japan is one of the few places in the world where Yahoo rules over Google in Internet traffic, so this attracts Microsoft who owns only a small portion of the traffic to get Yahoo under its wings. The reason why Softbank is supporting the bid is because the buy-over of Japan Vodafones in 2006. They need Microsoft to provide the software and Yahoo to provide the Internet speed and access.Since both NTT Docomo and KDDI are tied up with Google, this will be the opportunity to offer something different to the consumers.
Obviously, Google isn't keeping quiet about all this while it's going on, but they're just adding more drama to the situation. According to Ichimen's stats, Google (Guguru) owns 53% of the market, Yahoo (Ya-huu) 17.5% and Microsoft (Maikurosofto) a mere 7.1% of the overall user market. But I seriously think it should be the other way around: Yahoo should be the one to buy Microsoft. Even though it'll still end up in a merger, Yahoo would control Microsoft instead of the othey way round, seeing as Microsoft is the smaller party in terms of users.

I'm sure I've bored half of my neighbourhood with this post rofl
Is it just me or as a Malaysian, I feel frustration for not being able to find anything Arashi or Jpop related, unless it's Ayumi Hamasaki? O_o No offence to Malaysian Ayumi fans, but that's so unfair...anything that's brought in is only those under the Pony Canyon label... ;__;
I don't know about other local Arashi fans, but it's seriously driving me up the wall. I'd import them and sell them myself if I knew there's a market for Arashi and JE related paraphanelia here...hell, I'd even rent a shop lot in Sunway Pyramid to exclusively cater to Jpop fans, especially those who love JE bands. I understand that gaining rights to sell these materials is difficult, not to mention the liability of possible non-marketable goods, which would result in a loss, but I know the market is there.
I know that Yesasia is an option for those who can afford to buy online, but personally, I'd prefer to hold something physical in my hands, pay for it in cash and head home happily carrying the plastic bag holding my latest shopping treasure ( -.-; ) I know there are places like Rock Corner here, but they're biased in importing J-related things, aren't they? Any Malaysian who share how I feel?
On the plus side, I'm very grateful for those who take the time to upload their Arashi purchases (DVDs, songs, magazine scans etc, etc) but I suppose I just want to feel how others feel when they buy something and actually own something physically, not digitally...I suppose blogging about it won't help much, but hey, at least it makes me feel a little better...
