".. Bruno is constantly talking. He annoys me because he talks too much *laugh*..."
That's what Nino said re his "Strangers on a Train" character xD.. and I couldn't agree more LOL!

After reading the interviews, I seriously seriously want them to release this butai onto dvd! I'd even pick up 3 copies (like I always do, over pre-ordering and forget to cancel the extras lol)
I want to see Nino act in "Strangers on a Train"! Brunino!

For more, please read the translated interview articles at ozarashi's entry, thanks so much again!!

EDIT:
"If you were after a character who was extremely unusual, I would say Naoya from ‘Shibuya kara tooku hanarete’…

That was a play that left impression on everyone who saw it MEISAKU created by Yukio and Iwamatsu Ryou, wasn’t it?

“It was a great play. But I cannot play that character anymore. I have lost such a pure heart of a young boy *laugh*."

Now, they better release ALL the Nino butai on dvd! Please please pretty please! Just take my $, take it xD

ps: here's waiting for kind souls to upload vs arashi.. gackto vs arashi... I wonder how that went <3

I grew up in the late 70s and 80s (only slightly older than Ohchan lol).
Charlie's Angels was on TV.
My cousin sisters whom I grew up with, three of us used to 'role-play' Charlie's Angels.
I was the smart brunette one lol.
It was silly. But we were mere pre-schoolers lol.
Black and white Ultraman was also on TV,
so was "Once upon a time.. space", one of my brother and my fave animations.
銀河鉄道999, 宇宙戦艦ヤマト, and old school gundam were on video tapes.
Kimisawa, a Japanese shopping mall back then, was still in Damansara Jaya.
A time when there's only one Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant (it wasn't KFC) and only one A&W in town.
Going to these two "restaurants" were like family weekend outing event.

Michael Jackson's "Ben" was on one of our family cassette tapes.
We also had "Off the Wall" album on cassette tape.
"Rock with you" was my fave fave song on that tape, I was a kiddo.
At the time, there were also "Saturday Night Fever", The Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder, The Carpenters and many more; including old school showa japanese songs and HK songs (old school Samuel Hui, and those TVB dorama songs composed by 顧家輝) among the many cassette tapes / vinyls my family owned.
I can't call myself a hardcore fan of MJ, but I grew up listening to his songs.
He was part of my happy childhood memories.

michael jackson first ever moonwalk

I was just getting into elementary school when "Thriller" was released.
I can recall the whole song and arrangement of "Billie Jean" in my brain.
That killer bass line. The beat. The intensity. The moon walk.
Of course, MJ went on to release "Bad" and created more hits.
But my faves songs of his still remained from the "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" albums.
Perhaps old school MJ reminds me of my own happy childhood growing up in KL.
A time and space that I long to return, but could never return, except when I close my eyes.

So thank you, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett; thanks for the happy memories. R.I.P.

PS:
I was reading digg.com on one of the MJ thread..
I like this comment by EtherealSOC:
"The greatest performer who ever lived. It's strange, but I'd be happier if he died at the age of 80, old and broken and giving society enough time to view his work through the passage of time and eras. I'd even be happier if he died at the height of his fame, in the late 1980's, and he would have been immortalized as a hero of epic proportions. Now he dies a spectacle, loved by many but destested by many as well, and this spectrum is so wide and yet so polar that it doesn't reflect the kind of creative genius and visionary philanthropist that he became. At his root he was a very sad and scared man, living a twisted existence on the verge of reality, and even more than grieve at his passing, I feel sorry that the world might not understand what it just lost..." 

PS again:my internet bandwidth is exceeded for this month, so won't be able to reply/catch up until July D:can't wait 'til July.. I can catch up with more old school MJ songs and videos and of course Arashi shows too.

Tomorrow is my last day at work.. and also all my work colleagues' last day at work too (we're all been redundant D:)...
so we're just gonna go to the office and head straight to the big farewell party.......
It's gonna be quite sad since many of us have worked there for many many years.....

And... we'll be wishing each other "All The Best"..
"All the best!"
"All the best!!"
and will be quite sad and emotional..
but at the same time, I'll be giggling inside.....
hey, sounds like we're all doing free promotion for Arashi xD
aaah. life.
always so strange.

All The Best, Arashi!!
All The Best, to everyone, especially to my hubby and me!

PS:  Thanks Steffi for your text message! I was able to pre-order the limited edition at work today!!
Catch up / reply later!

... ^^; to be painted maybe.
<whine>
It just hit me that in 7 working days' time I'll be out of a job D:
yet, I still can't get myself to face the editing of the resume... my tech skills are now so obsolete (company uses old tech) and I have no interests in working for corporations again; and job market is bad even if I wanted to. It's quite depressing facing the resume, I hope I snap out of this mode soon.

Why can't I paint/draw as a living? I'd be more enthusiastic and able to put more selling points in writing an art-related resume... alas I don't have an art degree D:
</whine>

Anyone willing to hire artist? arashi artist? heck I would even draw kattun if I get paid commissions for it D:
Catch up / reply more later.
It's Nino's birthday eve already!
