Well, I had watched J-Dramas with Nino and Jun in. (Stand Up!!, HYD 1&2, Gokusen, etc. Oh, and Letters from Iwo Jima in the theatre, but that was way before I started watching J-dramas…. I didn’t recognise Nino at all.) But I didn’t follow actors, or even know anything about JE. (Hadn’t really been interested enough to check wiki because I was watching shows, not actors.) But then….
Taiyo sensei.
Yeah, my love of adorable children demanded I watch this cute little drama and while I can’t say I fell in love with Sho at that point, I certainly fell for his character. I wanted to see what else he had done so off I went to wiki. His latest work was something called Yamada Taro and I watched it. And, because I don’t really like spoilers (which Japan seems to LOVE) I waited until the end to watch the drama navi.
Where I learned of Arashi. After half an hour on Youtube watching PVs and trying to figure out who was who with different hair-styles, I went to google and searched for Arashi subbed videos. That was the beginning of the end of a life-time of never following any boyband/girlbands or any ‘celebrities’, actually.
Ah, Nino…. I will never understand the people who say:
“I liked him at first, and his sarcastic comments were fun but then he just seemed mean.”
Mostly because I feel, if that’s what they think, then they’re thinking backwards. I can understand being put-off by his wit at first, but to continue to watch and NOT see just how much he cares (and how observant he must be to make his comments) boggles my mind.
Hmmm… I could talk about this forever too. Well actually, given the chance, I could probably talk forever about anything Arashi related. They really do bring people together. ^____^
