MATSUJUN @USC ~
ok ok im too excited i cant sleep. i better write about it before i forget.
I SAW MATSUJUN IN THE FLESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WAS THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE, EVER
We met the arashi fanmeet group at around 2pm and they were there since 9am! Different fans were there. Literally, we were on Japanese TV! The Japanese media showed up and started interviewing fans and taking tons of pictures of us! A round of the japanese journalists gathered in front of us to ask us questions as well as the network news - Nippon Television, NTV News Zero, Daily Sports, Nikkon Sports, and various other newspaper magazine journalists were there! There was about 40 of us together. I was in practically every shot? i made sure of it. We were holding what arashi fansigns that some of them made xD Omg I can't wait to find us on clubbox! The journalists were especially interested in the caucasian blonde hair fangirls, I SWEAR THEY DID NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE US (ASIANS) EXISTENCE. They adored Destini, she was sooo cute. They asked us where we were all from - we said Los Angeles (me), Missouri flew out here, Seattle, Las Vegas, San Jose, San Fran, we made sure to tell them that Arashi has thousands of fans in the USA and that it isnt fair that we americans dont get to see these Johnnys! Again they were extremely fascinated by "american" fans and kept asking us about how we heard of Arashi, Matsujun, and Johnny. We were careful not to say that we download them off the net so we said various things like, sometimes youtube, we order music and dvds from japan, we watch satellite japanese tv so we can watch dramas. We said our favorite matsujun is HYD. They kept asking how the hell we heard of such a thing. One reporter asked us, there are tons of american idols, why dont you like them? why do you like japanese idol? And we said, american idol? DAME! HAHAHAH We said we love japanese fanservice, the hair styles, the secks, everything! They asked us for more interview after the movie.
We got into the theater at around 6pm i think? OMG Then matsujun comes out and the fans are screaming. It was so fucking surreal or something. I saw him in the flesh!! I was so shocked, I got teary eyed a bit, some fangirls were crying, I was cheering, I was a bad fangirl and snuck in my camera. But I couldn't get much of anything cuz Johnny's security was a real bitch about it. Matsujun's entire introduction was in english! I only caught half of it, gomenasai, hopefully it'll be shown on mezamashi or zoom in tmr? During the Q&A session, he said in english, "I am shy" and all the girls went crazy! His English again was amazing, he didn't have to read off some paper, he knew what he was saying and he said it very well =) He was so cute, he has this aura that makes you feel as if he was a highness, a prince, it was incredible. He sat there awaiting questions that needed to be answer. His hair was PERFECT. Wavy black styled hair. He had a almost navy blue coat on with matching shoes. He's super skinny yo, and very tall. His smile was flawless, his entire demeanor, cameras do no justice whatsoever. The flower bouquet was given to him by the Arashi fangirls when he walked off and he gladly accepted it! We wrote usa cards with messages in them hopefully he'll read them<33 But for the most part, he kept his distance from us T__T
The Last Princess Movie:
As quoted from Destini, it was "AMAZING!" hahah yes it was a very very good movie, no kidding. It was balanced, well made, great effects. I'd totally buy this dvd. Masami, the one everyone hates, well her performance in this movie was spectacular, much better than her other stuff. The film had its funny perks, especially from shinpachi & matsujun's character. At the end of the movie, we stood around eating the free catering food they had for us. While we stood around, Nippon Television came out again and interviewed us! They personally interviewed ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just felt like I could die! I was so nervous. gawd i must have had hardcore wrinkles in my eyes though. anyway, they repeatedly got close up shots of the blonde hair caucasian fans. Then next thing we knew, matsujun left the school =( We were kind of sad but we had a hotel party to look to after~
About the fans:
One girl actually went to Aiba's restaurant and got a chance to speak to aiba's mother. She gave her presents like aiba shop photos or something. I took a pic of the business card she has of aiba's restaurant~ hahah. arashi fans are so much love. The fans that showed up to this event, they are such hardcore fans O_O. While waiting in line, everyone was singing arashi songs and we sung one for NTV news or something, and all the japanese reporters looked at us very puzzled like why do we know this lol. Some fangirls as young as 16 yrs old flew here to LA, fangirls and their parents came as well. The parents were so COOL. They fed us ice cream and bitched out the bitches who were cutting in line in front of us. The "other" fangirls who were not in the arashi fanmeet or from some other community online, some of them were bitchy and mean. I have no idea where they came from though o_0 A lot of fans were also Nihongo and most of them were really old bachans~ hahahaah im so mean. Our group was quite a mixture. Again they were incredibly fascinated by us american fans loving johnny, they just couldn't understand or grasp that fact that we were all here to support jun. Anyway, I met a lot of reallly reallllly cool fans from LJ & vox, I hope we get together again soon, this whole event makes me feel all this fangirling shit is so worth while (=
Media:

these crazy reporters from nippon tv!

@norris theater~

the pamphlet, i got 3 copies xD.

again they attack us!

the cutest cookies ever! domouji ~
Random recordings from me xD. Some of you lj users are probably in here xD
For some reason i started recording the interview questions, some parts are loud cuz we were screaming. The journalists were so curious about us and asked us all kinds of questions.
Short short clip I could get of him accepting flowers from arashi fans, he was SO CLOSE
Hahah meet some of the fangirls, they'll probably want me to take it down but this is what we were doing in the hotel after~ you damn hoes! <3
Matsujun's introduction in ENGLISH! Just half of the clip
he says, "University of Southern California. The following two hours will be a thrilling time for all of you. I will see you again after the movie and will answer any questions you might have. Thank you and please enjoy the movie" (he was seated behind everyone watching the movie with us^^)
HAHAHA KYA KYA
In conclusion, we had a lot of fun. I don't know why other people constantly bitch about fangirls screaming or whatever, it was not even that bad >_> and it's only natural for anyone to do this. I thought the entire event was very calm and controlled, nothing got out of hand, the fangirls had excellent behavior if anything. Nobody pulled on him or screamed in his ear, I think. With that being said, I recommend to EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO IS A FANGIRL to go see their idol, it'll change your life and make you see things in a whole new perspective, or maybe it's just me *shrugs*, more updates soon from the japanese media~
