AN:
^____________^;;;;;
I don't even know what to say. I guess you can say I died and... am still dead? hahahaha. At least, till the end of April. hahaha. I'll be on vacation come April-- till then, I'm still on purgatory. >_> It's 3:21 in the morning and my eye bags are the size of saucers. LOL. I needed food for soul so I tentatively checked my LJ which I have abandoned for soooo long *sobs*. And I think I did the right thing... My heart swelled to the size of watermelons.
...So did my guilt. ^^;;;;;;
But some things cannot be helped, i suppose. *sigh* I'm doing my best, minna! >:D WA is not dead yet! With your support, I hope to carry on bravely! Thank you for the never-ending love and support. Reading all your kind words touches me enough to make me weep with joy. ^^
Love forever!

Chapter 21
****************************************
Oda blinked furiously at his doorknob, as if trying to get it to open on its own. He had never quite experienced feeling so nervous about entering his own home… Then again, he never quite experienced being part of a boy band as well. Maybe new things come from new things after all.
Oda shook his head. He wasn’t making any sense.
He pondered glumly over his dilemma, which stemmed from the latest meeting Arashi had just a few hours ago…
***FLASHBACK***
“We start your acting workshop tomorrow, Oda-kun. Umemura-san will still be your instructor.” Manager-kun looked at him. “Have you told your family yet?”
“My… family?”
“Yes, your family. You are now part of Arashi and in a few weeks time I will be requiring you to sign several documents to authenticate your official membership into Arashi.”
“That soon?”
“Yes.” The man nodded. “We will need the signature of your guardian as well so I suggest you tell whoever it is concerned about the news as soon as possible...”
***
“Well… It’s not like I can run away from this forever.” Oda mused aloud to the door. “I’d have to tell them sooner or later…”
His brow wrinkled, as if he were arguing with someone who happened to disagree. “Besides, telling them now would be better than later, anyway…”
He stared at the door as if willing it to answer back. The air was quiet around him and the sky was turning into that warm orange color that Oda liked to paint sometimes. For how long he stood there, he did not know… But he WAS starting to feel kinda stupid.
“Oh for Christ’s sake, I can’t stay here forever.” Oda sighed loudly to himself.
He waited for a few more seconds, like he was waiting for himself to move.
“What are you doing, Takeshi?”
Oda jumped as a hand fell onto his right shoulder. He stifled a startled yelp and quickly turned around. Miyuki-chan was staring at him oddly.
“Ah… Miyuki-chan…” Oda mumbled lamely, immediately deflating. “Okaeri…”
“Tadaima.” She replied, still eyeing him. “What were you doing standing here like an idiot, Takeshi? You are going to catch a cold.”
“Er… I forgot my keys.” He quickly lied, bringing up a sheepish hand to scratch his head.
“Mou, you forgetful boy.” Miyuki-chan rolled her eyes amusedly. “And to think you are older than me… I swear, you still need to be taken care of.”
“Sorry.” Oda watched his cousin slip her keys on the apartment door, hearing the soft click of the lock.
The door creaked open and Miyuki-chan stepped in, turning on the front lights. Oda hesitated…
“Takeshi?” Miyuki-chan looked back at him expectantly. “Aren’t you coming in?”
“Ah…” Oda fumbled with his bag, slowly making his way towards the door. He didn’t know if he could do this… Everything he worked on so far… Everything he held dear… Everything he strived to keep constant and quiet… Everything was going to change…
And this time, it was for real.
“Miyuki-chan…” He absently murmured as he watched his cousin toe off her shoes.
“Hm?” she looked up at him inquiringly. “What is it?”
“If… And it’s just a ‘What if’, mind you…” Oda fidgeted. “If I had to… change… because of a decision I made… Would you think different of me?”
Miyuki stared at him.
“Takeshi…” she slowly began. “Are you feeling all right?”
“I’m fine.” He quickly replied. “I’m sorry, that was a weird question. Never mind…”
“Even if you change Takeshi, I won’t think any lesser of you.” Miyuki shrugged. “You are my cute, dear cousin and nothing’s going to change that.”
Oda’s face broke into a smile and he beamed at his cousin.
“Really?”
“You won’t get rid of me that easy.” She teasingly replied.
“Okay.” He replied, feeling slightly better about the whole thing. “Come on, let’s get dinner ready. I kinda have to tell you guys something later…”
Oda had about a million scenario’s running through his mind regarding that moment when he broke the news to his family. And so far, things have been going exactly as he had predicted…
CLINK.
“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!”
Oda kept in the wince at the sheer decibel of Miyuki’s shriek. He had long before learned never to underestimate the screaming power of fan-girls. And Miyuki was a certified, bona-fide member of the Arashi fan club.
He poked at the meat he had in his rice bowl. They were having Sukiyaki, and Oda wasn’t certain if the extravagant meal was really proper for such a night…
“Say that again…” Miyuki-chan thundered, her chopsticks lying forgotten on the floor. “I dare you to say that again and I SWEAR you will regret it if I find that this is one big, sick joke--”
“I’m not joking.” Oda replied, more calmly than he felt. “I’m joining Arashi as their fifth member and I’m currently training under Umemura-san to prepare for my debut.”
He had yet to meet Oji in the eye and he was deathly afraid at what he would see reflected in the usually kindly gaze… If he disapproved… If Oji-chan disapproved…
“Who?” Miyuki squeaked, still wide-eyed.
“Umemura-san.” Oda repeated. “He’s my trainer from Johnny’s Jimusho. I’ve been training under him for quite a while now.”
Miyuki gaped at him and Oda thoughtfully looked away.
“Takeshi…”
Oda immediately felt his shoulders tense. Oji-san had finally spoken.
“Why, Takeshi?”
He felt his heart sinking at the soft tone of Oji-chan addressing him. He forced himself to look up at the older man’s face.
“Why what, Oji-chan?”
“Why… did you do this?”
Oda bit his lip. “I… I wanted to help, Oji-chan… I wanted to be able to help.”
Miyuki and Shouji paused at the height of their freaking out at the suddenly serious tone of the conversation. Oji-chan was looking at him with unreadable eyes and Oda wanted to run off and hide.
“You… disapprove?” Oda quietly asked.
“Joining a band… Sharing their responsibilities…” Oji-chan slowly began. “These are big things, Takeshi. Are you prepared to accept this role with all your heart?”
Oda stared at him.
Oji-chan sighed. “This was what I was afraid of… I told you before, Takeshi… I promised myself that I would do everything in my power to help all of you to follow your dreams. This isn’t how I wanted it to be…”
“But Oji-chan…” Oda whispered. “You don’t have to do this alone… I want to help. I will never be at ease otherwise.”
“Do not be selfish, Takeshi!” Oji-chan sharply said, and Oda was shocked at the stern tone.
“This is not a joke anymore.” The older man looked at him in the eye. “Joining a band… If you do not have your heart in it, then you might as well quit. Producing music and dancing around… It’s not that simple! People will be watching you, judging you, looking up to you. Are you ready for that, Takeshi? Is this what you want?”
Oda was taken aback. Is this what he wanted? The question startled him. From the start, everything had been about everything and anything else… What did HE want?
His mind wandered back to the long hours under Umemura-san’s sharp eyes… The beat of the music as his body moved to the rhythm… As one by one, his steps, his movement bled into an intricate and beautiful dance… Oda remembered the intoxicating feel of pure bliss as he first flew into the air in a simple cartwheel… It was as if the box of Pandora had been opened and he was hopelessly addicted.
He loved it.
He thought back to the countless explanations of Manager-kun about routines and interview systems and his flustered mind trying its best to keep up… That perpetually busy feeling he had every waking moment he spent inside the studio… The beat of fast paced modernity mingled with the slight taste of celebrity. Oda’s eyes widened as he realized he liked it. He liked it all.
And then there were the members… Sho-kun was always supportive of him and Aiba-chan adored him… He was unendingly grateful for their all out support- he never could have done it without them. Matsumoto Jun was still cold to him but it only made him strive harder… work harder, than he had ever worked in his life. And Nino… The boy always made him laugh and he loved their petty arguments over practically anything at all… He wanted this.
He wanted it.
“Yes.” Oda finally replied, looking at Oji-chan directly in the eyes. “I want it.”
“At first, this was all about me trying to help you, Oji-chan…” Oda continued, admitting freely to the older man of his original intentions. “But as time went by, it became about something else… I was… happy, Oji-chan. I enjoyed it.”
Oda smiled freely. “I am enjoying it.”
There was a long silence after that and the soft bubbling of the Sukiyaki pot filled the room… Finally, Oji-chan smiled and held out a hand.
“Then congratulations, Takeshi… Congratulations.”
Oda felt his breath rush out of him and with it went all his apprehensions and fears. Oji-chan approved… Everything was okay!
“I’ll work hard, Oji-chan.” Oda promised, beaming at the old man. “I promise.”
“I’m sure you will.” Oji-chan kindly replied, smiling at him. “You will be a wonderful artist, Takeshi. You have always been wonderful in my eyes.”
Oda’s smile widened. “Thanks, Jii-chan!”
“So…” Shouji slowly began, eyeing Oda with a strange look in his eyes. “Does this mean I get to have a famous cousin now?”
“I’m not famous…” Oda reminded him. “Not yet…”
“Yet.” Shouji scoffed, a slow grin cracking his face. “Oh MAN, this is PRICELESS! Wait till I tell my friends!”
“You can’t.” Oda sharply said, turning to face him seriously. “You mustn’t tell ANY one, Shouji. You have to promise. Till the day it will be officially announced to the public, no one else must know.” He turned to the rest of his family. “Absolutely NO ONE.”
Oji-chan nodded in understanding. “It makes sense… The contract is legally binding, I suppose?”
“Yes.” Oda replied. “Which reminds me- I need your signature on the contract. It’s proof that I have the consent of both parties- whatever that means.”
Oji-chan nodded. “I am glad.”
“My god… This is for real, then?” Shouji shook his head in amazement. “I think the reality’s just sinking in now… This is so bizarre.”
“Tell me about it.” Oda agreed.
“And why aren’t you saying anything?” Shouji looked suspiciously at his sister, who had been uncharacteristically silent.
“Er…” Miyuki blinked, looking dazed. “I don’t know what to say, really…”
“Don’t worry… The shock will wear off soon.” Oda sighed, patting her shoulder. “Trust me.”
* * *
A blood-curling scream echoed through the night.
Oda jerked awake from his bed in alarm, flailing his arms, as he was rudely shaken into consciousness and falling painfully out of bed.
“Owwww…” He groaned thickly from the tangle of blankets on his hard, unforgiving floor.
His muddled mind took a second to properly process being awake before he remembered what exactly had woken him up-
“Miyuki!” he gasped, as he recognized the shrill scream.
He quickly scrambled up from the floor, tripping all over his sheets as he stumbled towards his bedroom door. The lights in the hall flickered open as Oji-chan and Shouji emerged from their bedrooms as well.
“Miyuki-chan?” Oda called out, knocking on her door.
Oji-chan and Shouji were huddled around him, looking confused and a little shaken. Oda knocked harder.
“Miyuki-chan, daijobu? Are you hurt?”
There was no reply from inside and they were steadily getting worried.
“Miyuki-nee’chan!” Shouji croaked, jiggling the doorknob. “It’s open!”
“Miyuki-chan, we’re going in.” Oda warned, rapping on the door again. “We’re going in, okay?”
There was still no reply and so action was definitely inevitable. Oda counted to three and burst through the door, expecting the worst possible scenario… He abruptly halted in the middle of the glaring pink room and stared at the figure sitting limply by the bed. Oji-chan and Shouji crashed into him from behind and they all fell to the floor in a tangle of flaying arms and limbs.
“Ow!” Oda groaned, silently telling himself that his body was getting too much of a beating to be healthy.
“Why did you stop?” Shouji groaned from underneath him where he was squished.
“Miyuki-chan!” Oji-chan called, struggling to push himself off the two bodies. “Miyuki-chan, what’s the matter? Why did you scream?”
“Gerrof me!” Shouji hissed at him, elbowing Oda in the face.
“Stop struggling!” Oda snapped back, heaving himself to his feet.
The three men finally stood in a single line facing Miyuki’s bed, where the said girl was sitting frozen atop her frilly bed sheets. Oda was acutely aware of the limp, shocked look in her expression and wondered if there had been a cockroach or a rodent that was unfortunate enough to wander into her room…
“Miyuki-nee’chan?” Shouji tried again, furrowing his brows. “What the hell is wrong with you?”
“Arashi…”
Oda froze as the words left her lips. Two pairs of eyes immediately zoomed towards him- Oji-chan’s inquiring while Shouji’s, confused…
“Did she just…?” Shouji paused, unsure. “She said… Arashi?”
“Arashi.” Miyuki repeated, a little louder.
“What, the gay boy band?” Shouji scratched his head, confused. “What about them?”
“Arashi!” she cried, almost hysterically.
“Miyuki-chan, just tell us…” Oji-chan said gently. “What is wrong?”
Miyuki slowly raised a finger and pointed to Oda. Her face was a mixture of wonder and shock. “Arashi!”
Everyone fell silent for a few heartbeats.
“I think…” Shouji slowly began inching his way towards the door. “I know where this is going…”
“Miyuki-chan, get a grip.” Oda peered at her worriedly, shaking a hand in front of her eyes. “Oji-chan, do you know what’s wrong with her?”
“She seems to have gone into a shock…” Oji-chan slowly replied, watching his granddaughter with wide eyes. “Takeshi, how much do you think this… band meant to her?”
“It’s pretty much her whole world.” Oda admitted, glancing at his cousin. “I was kinda surprised she didn’t make a fuss over the news a while… a…go… Oh.” He paused. “Oh dear.”
They glanced at each other and looked back at the silent girl.
“She’s in shock.” Oda finally realized, frowning slightly. “The fact that I am soon going to be part of the boy band she has been worshipping-”
“AAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUURGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!
Oda clapped his hands to his ears in horror as Miyuki-chan let out another earsplitting scream. Oji-chan was more tactful and tried to get her to stop screaming.
“Miyuki-chan, it’s all right! Calm down! Takeshi will become part of this band you love and so it will become even more special to you… Don’t you think so, Miyuki-chan? Isn’t this good news?”
“YOU! ARASHI- I, but I! AAAAAAURRRGGGGGHHHHH!!” Miyuki-chan shook her head violently, clawing at her hair. “I don’t BELIEVE it! YOU! TAKESHI! You can’t even- NO! I can’t believe after all this- WHY? I don’t know what to-”
“Miyuki-chan, CHILL!” Oda cried, his eyes wide. “You’re starting to really scare me.”
“But you KNOW… You KNOW how much I- NNNUUUURRRGHHHHGGG!!” She couldn’t even finish her sentence as she felt he overwhelming need to hit something. “You are going to be PART of them and- they’re GODS and I’m actually related to- SHIT! What am I going to do when I- OH NO! I still haven’t lost enough weight and you-!”
Oda sighed and slumped down to the floor. This would take a while, he could tell… Shouji had been smart enough to smell danger and scampered off to the safety of his room, while Oji-chan excused himself to make some tea… Oda advised him to stay away till it was safe enough and so he alone remained to bear the ranting of a fan girl, well into the wee hours of dawn.
Still, Miyuki-chan could not be appeased and so Oda, in a desperate attempt to finally get some needed rest, offered her something that he knew he would regret later on…

Title: WHY?
choconova So, both youtube and veoh kicked me out and for months i gave up on posting this video. :)) But today, i rewatched it again and I felt the need to share. No streaming site will take me and so I finally gave in to Vox. Forgive the quality, I am very much in despair. But what can I do? *shrug* If you guys know a streaming host site, then please let me know and I will check them out. ^_^
I do very much want to know what you think of it! :) Comments mean the world, i swear.
"Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattandarou" (JEZUS what a long title ) is a beautiful, beautiful song with equally beautiful (and sad) lyrics. I highly recommend that you read through the lyrics (which i have provided below) first so you can better catch the gist of the video. There's a story, yes. I hope its clear to everyone. I'm pretty concerned about it. :)
P.S. I should get shot for this, really... Arashi and DBSK crossover. LOL.
WATCH!!

choconovaAll right, so I guess this is a bit funny. Arashi x DBSK crossover? *gets shot* LOL.
But hey, Tohoshinki's new single came out and I just loved it. And guess what I do to things I love..? Yes, I exploit it. I use it. I just HAVE to tinker with it and voila! This is the product. ^^;;
Recently, i've been busy to the point of obtaining panda-eyes. Yes, i am now starting to look like Riida (have you seen his eyes in maou? Riida- sleep please!) and I am paying a hefty price (buying creams and other gunk) to look human again. XD But it's a saturday night. I needed my well-deserved free time and see what my free time has been spent on! lol.

All right, so I've got several Ohmiya theories my whacked up brain made up- but its got me pretty convinced! And just two nights ago, two of my theories have been confirmed. O_O
The first was the theme of the "Sun". I don't want to spoil anything from WA but actually, I've already got an insert song which I wrote nearly a year ago. It's a song where the theme is "the sun". Watching 6.19 HNA where Nino dresses up as an Otaku and infiltrate fortune tellers, nearly gave me a hear attack.
The woman mentioned the word "TAIYOU" which means the SUN. I don't know if anyone would believe me when I say this, but personally, when I look at Nino, I see a sun.
See, I'm the type of person who feels through life more than anything. I trust my instincts more than I do the police. I'm sure some of you have experienced this quite a lot- when you see something and immediately, you are reminded of something else. :D I may have a memory span the size of a teaspoon but strangely, everything will remind me of something else.
And so when my instincts suddenly shoved the vision of a "sun" in my mind, it got me stumped. It doesn't make sense at all because Nino is hardly the bright, sunny persona. That's more of Aiba's style, ne? But I actually DO see a sun. And so I've come up with this really really whacked up notion that Nino is someone who always LOOKS at the sun. The "SUN" here being something/someone that is special or dear to him. Of course, being the Ohmiya devotee that I am, I immediately set about ways to convince myself that this "SUN" was none other than Oh-chan. (I have yet to prove that by the way)
And now, the fortune-teller has confirmed my intuition. O_O I couldn't help but be flabbergasted.
The next one is a more normal one. You see, I've always told my friends that it is my firm believe that Nino will never get married. Or if he would, it would not be a happy one. He just doesn't seem like the type who'd be in a commitment. My instincts tell me Nino finds women in general- annoying. And oh, he hates kids.
And what did the fortune teller say next??
To Ninomiya: YOU MUSTN'T MARRY.
I fell off my chair laughing. You see, Nino?? The whole world says so. Stick with Oh-chan, that's a good lad. Oh-chan isn't the type to get married either. If ever, I think his dear mother would co-erce him into an omiai or an arranged marriage. And oh-chan, being the dutiful kid that he is, would get married and not care at all. A hundred bucks says that if ever, the wife would be just like Oh-chan's mom. XD
Ah, the weirdness of it all. I just felt like someone up there was laughing at me, teasing me by giving me would-be evidences that will never be accepted as hard evidence anyway. Hahahaha. No matter how deluded I may be, I will never pass the above mentioned as hard pieces of evidence. The Ohmiya touches are my only (at least for now) proof of Ohmiya love. XD
But still, it's fun.

Riida is killing me. He really is.
So, I was watching the latest Ousama no Brunch where Riida and Tohma guested for their upcoming dorama, Maou! You can imagine just how excited I am for Maou. I'm seriously losing sleep over it. =.=
So right! Oh-chan is looking spiffier than ever. He actually lost some of his ridiculous (but CUTE) stuttering and his fillers had dramatically decreased. He was talking in full sentences now! Bravo, Riida. :D Tohma and Ohno seemed to get along pretty well. Hurray. ^^
They mentioned Matsujun's thoughtfulness. And Riida's fishing tendencies which makes him tanner than needed for his maou role. -.-;; And oh, apparently, Tohma has a huge appetite. So CUTE.
BUT THIS IS WHAT KILLED ME!!
In the middle of the show, the host announced the next topic- another Arashi member starring in the first episode of Maou! XDDD (Of course, we all already knew who it was) And the host asks Ohno: Ohno-san, who will be appearing?
And Ohno goes: "Ah, boku no, daisuki na..."
KYAAA!!!
Your most beloved?! OMG I LOVE YOU!! Riida, go on and announce to the world just WHO YOU LOVE!
And he keeps repeating it! "The one I like the most... My most beloved.."
And the host reiterates it! "Ohno-kun's beloved Ninomiya"
LOOOOOOOOL.
I am in ohmiya zen. Lalalalalalalala. Sunshine has come back in my life. ^^;;
Now, if only I could get back to writing..
=.=;;
Lately, I have been feeling sad and somewhat empty. While some of you may laugh and think it's a bit over the top (God knows I wonder about myself sometimes..), it was because of the obviously widening gap between Ohmiya. My unease started when Nino revealed the origin of Gimmick Game. It was an 'ohmiya song' which made me happy- but it made me sad at the same time. The lyrics weren't exactly peachy-poo.
But I passed it off as some 'gimmick' Nino was playing to bait us Ohmiya fans... Still, my nagging unease wouldn't go away.
I went 'KYAA!' over Chinen's obvious fanboying and I eagerly anticipated Nino's exploding jealousy-induced reaction... which never came. Instead of the jealous explosion, Oh-chan received silent treatment. D: Oh NO.
Things went worse from thereon in!
The gap between them became wider and wider! From Shukudai-kun (Le GASP!) to their One-Love PV (where the gap was SO painfully obvious) to the rest of the shows during that period, Nino was so distant from Oh-chan. He was also literally far away from him (That seldom happened before!). I was confused and I didn't know what was going on- and then the Wink Up July issue comes out and we hear Nino saying something about "going on a journey".
Oh NO.
Journey?? Like, if that was a literal journey, I'd eat my shoe. Is it because of Chinen? Is it because of Arashi's growing popularity and you were torn with showing the world your ohmiya love? Or is it because Oh-chan was getting more and more popular and so you fear he is not going to need you anymore?
Nino, you IDIOT!!
I was devastated. Oh-chan looked so lonely without Nino beside him.
And so the drama.
AND THEN!!!
My Ohmiya sensors picked up when I watched the 6.14. VSA. My eyes went O_O when I realized... I realized! Nino was not so standoffish anymore! He was actually standing next to Oh-chan now.
A slice of happiness.
But today, TODAY, I have achieved Nirvana. My Zen and peace. My pinnacle of happiness.
OHMIYA IS BACK!!!
Thanks to the reports on the recent 6/18 and 6/19 Fukuoka concert, I can now die happy!! ^_^ According to the reports, on Fukuoka 6/18, Arashi celebrated Nino's birthday! And with it, came the return of Ohmiya SK!! Sugoi! Taka and Yuji are back! ^^
During the SK skit, Taka (oh-chan) kisses Yuji (nino) on the cheek! KYA!! And Nino falls over in embarrassment! Omg! ^^
BUT THAT'S NOT THE BEST BIT YET...
On the 6/19 concert, Ohmiya kisses again! And this time (LISTEN TO THIS), it was the lips-to-lips kind of kiss!!
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
And Oh-chan declared that they are going out from now on.
OMG KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BEST NEWS!!
Go tell your friends, folks! Go tell your families! Your dogs! THE WORLD!
Because tonight, I will rest happy. Tonight, I can smile in earnest and declare proudly...
Ohmiya.. is BACK.
Nino, welcome back from your journey. I'm glad you're back safe. :)

Er, so there I was, waiting for MS because KYAA! Arashi is coming to sing One LovE! ^_^
But then... I was a whole hour early. So i boredly surfed around while waiting and then suddenly i saw-
HOMG IT'S HIRO NAKAMURA!! O_________O
He was the guest for this talkshow.. I dunno the name of the show and i was hardly paying attention. I knew Masi Oka followed the Japanese-American pattern and I totally didnt expect him to be so good at speaking japanese. Because frankly, his japanese in Heroes was very dubious. ^^;;
Sugoi.
It was such a pleasantly shocking experience. lol.
Ah, still twenty minutes till MS..

Because I am tired of trying to find somone to squeal over ohmiya with. Because I cannot help myself. Because I am cool like that. Hah, no- I'm the biggest loser on earth. Believe it. Lol.
So anyway, I was watching the latest shenanigan on VS Arashi... Sigh. Riida's black hair. No matter how many weeks its been I still think it's incredibly hot on him. Who needs an orange mange of lion hair when you can look that THAT, Riida?? Stick to it please. But don't ever grow that goatee again. I had nightmares for weeks. It was like Jun's eyebrows grew on his face. Ugh.
But anyway, I was a little sad as I watched the latest VSA. Of course, I was giddy with the fact that Oh-chan was climbing up that wall- guh. He really looks good like that. But then I noticed that Ohmiya hasnt been interacting much anymore. Like, even in Shukudai-kun. They were so far apart it made me a little concerned.
No, Riida! I know Chinen's cute and hell yes, he's a lot younger than Nino- But don't let Nino slip away!! Noooo! D:
I honestly believe that Chinen is a huge factor in the Ohmiya relationship, romantic or otherwise. Abandoning my fangirling mind for a split second, I will still come to the objective conclusio that Chinen is really involved in the dynamics of OhMiya relationship. I don't think NIno appreciates the fact that some brat has come to steal Ohno's attention, which has always been on Nino. Sigh. I love them all, really. But please, don't break up!
Gimmick game aside, please tell me that the 'break up' was just temporary. *fangirling mode back on*
That aside, I shall continue to watch and hope and love. Ohmiya has become.. a religion to me. They make me happy like nothing can. Because somehow, I believe that they are real. Well, more real than Akame, that's for sure (no offense meant to Kat-tun fans).
I can't wait for Oh-chan's drama! Seriously, I am counting the days. July come fasteeeeeeeeer. I need a healthy dose of Ohno. And I'm praying that Nino can appear on a cameo role somehow. Like how Oh-chan cameod for YTM. :DD
Later days!

Changing
~choconova
The light reflected on the tears on the letter you wrote
Ate away at the silence of my room
The night was quiet just like last time
Exchanging stories of the lovers in the sky
The world we knew had always been too small
And before we knew it…
Our hearts were bursting with emotions
We never knew were there
Meaningless words repeated countless times
If only we knew what to say
Tell me why it had to be this way
If you could see my eyes right now
They have never trembled looking at you
The night could have been just like last time
Only it isn’t because it has become our story
No matter how this world would start changing
We won’t, even when...
Everything we believed in turned out gray
And we become hurt
Meaningless words repeated countless times
If only our hearts could speak
We wouldn’t have to be so weak
No matter where you are
No matter what time or place
No matter what world we are reborn
The sky will always be the same for us
Even if forever does not exist
This long winding road can still be taken
We can go far away.

This song was inspired by something I read, though i don't exactly recall what happened anymore.. But I remember it was wedspawn's So Much Mine... I also remember bawling like a baby after reading it. ^_^;;
Morning
~choconova
Verse 1
One day we will be wiser
Wrinkled and older together...
Fighting and laughing
Two hearts that hope for forever
We search for our mountains
Taking our chances
But with your palm in mine
I am not afraid...
Bridge
And so this heart loves you
with everything that I could ever be
Love you so much
I would do anything but...
Chorus
One day
we will wake up to a sunrise
that fills us with sadness
to find the coldness beside us
Where warmth once reside
And I pray now
I pray hard that I will not
wake up to that morning
This selfish heart cannot
Take it- I take it...
That I hope to never see that morning...
I’m sorry... I’m sorry...
But never that morning...
Verse 2
We’ll touch the sky
With the words we sang
(For us...)
Watching the fireworks cheer
(For us... )
The love that explodes with the fire
(From us...)
Keeping us warm from the
Cold, cold world...
(But…)
*Repeat Chorus
Coda
You may be the stronger
Between these two trembling hands
Forgive this weakened heart
For wanting to fall first into darkness...
Before I face that morning...
I cannot face that morning...
Not another morning without you…

Sad Songs
~choconova
Verse 1
In a love song
You would be the man
And she the woman…
And I would be the best friend
Who falls in love…
I hope we don’t grow up
Listening to sad songs
Take a little bit of hope
And keep it in my dreams
Oh, why do sad songs
Have to be so real…
Chorus
And why do people keep singing
Songs that make them cry?
Keep them playing on the stereo
In their lonely nights…
There’s one step more to go
Where this stops, I don’t know
Writing letters of the heartaches
That keeps me asking why…
Does the world posses
the one same heartbeat?
That sings of sadness and the
Raindrops on the corner street…
It’s a shame, I won’t know
And this all goes to show
How this would all end up
A sad song...
Verse 2
In a duet
You would be the man
And she the woman
And I would be the vocal
that fades into the background…
I hope we don’t grow up
Singing to sad songs
Take a little bit of love
And keep it in my heart
Oh, why do sad songs
Have to break us apart…
*Repeat Chorus
Coda
And to this day
I still can’t get why
people keep coming back
To places that remind them
of all the things that they lack…
And why do they keep sending
Messages in bottles to
The people who they know
Wont read it, and even if they do…
Chorus 2
Why do I keep singing songs
That would make me cry?
I guess it keeps me from
The loneliness I hold inside…
There’s just one verse to go
Will I stop, I don’t know
But then I told you so…
A sad song...

Episode: Arashi no Shukudai-kun (13 Aug 2007)
Summary: Nino's touch always made him feel better.
AN: This has been with me for a looooooooooooooooong time... Just never got to post it. ^^ Thanks for chants_xan for prompting me to post. I watched a brief ten minutes of this particular shukudai episode and this one-shot idea just hit me like a two tonne encyclopedia. Please comment ne~ It means the world to authors. :D
****************************************
Nino’s eyes silently followed Riida’s quiet form as he slowly rummaged through his bag. Ohno’s eyes had that far-away look and Nino could see that the usually nimble hands were sifting indecisively through his things.
He stayed quiet for a few more seconds, lounged lazily by the couch chair of the hotel room with his knees tucked up to his chest. His eyes never left Ohno’s form and he quietly watched the older member arrange and re-arrange the contents of the backpack.
“Ne, Riida…”
Nino allowed a few seconds for him to answer but Ohno did not hear him.
“Riida.” He tried again.
The pale hands paused in its movement and Ohno finally blinked up in confusion.
“...Huh? Sorry, what was that?”
Nino sighed. “You’re still bothered about it…”
It wasn’t a question. Ohno’s eyes fell back to his bag and he lightly shrugged.
“It’s no big deal…”
“It is.” Nino uncurled himself from the couch and stood up, padding barefoot over to Ohno. “You’re bothered about that pervy, erro-oyaji who’s been feeling you up since the beginning of the shoot.”
There was the slightest of shivers on Ohno’s shoulders- which he quickly tried to cover up. But Nino had seen it.
“He’s not a perv.” Ohno quietly replied. “Don’t talk about him like that… Someone might hear…”
Nino snorted. “Here? This is our hotel room, Riida. No one’s going to hear me.”
“But still.” Ohno muttered, finally zipping up his bag and tucking it away by the bedside table. “You might get in trouble if he hears you. He’s the guest for this episode, Nino… You’re not supposed to insult him.”
“Well, I’m not going to stand for his harassment either.” Nino shot back. “I saw the looks he gave you, Riida. The small touches that weren’t necessary. I know you hated it.”
Ohno winced.
“You also touch me unnecessarily…” he reasoned. “It’s only natural for him to do so.”
“But you like my touches.” Nino reminded him, slightly touching his arm.
Despite himself, Ohno automatically leaned into the touch. He was surprised at how easily he fell into Nino’s touch as if it was instinctive… Since when had this started?
Nino tried to hide his triumphant grin. “Ne? You like being touched by me.”
“That’s because you always touch me.”
“Hm. I like touching Oh-chan.” Nino shrugged.
Ohno sighed, as if finally giving into the accusation. “I don’t even know why I’m feeling this way… I’m used to being touched by others- we in Arashi always do. But why…?”
“Because he’s a pervy oyaji.” Nino muttered, trying to keep the snarl out of his voice. “His touches aren’t innocent at all and he was all over you, the old coot.”
Ohno felt a tremor of disgust again. “...You noticed?”
“How can I not?” Nino sourly replied, unable to keep the bitterness in his tone. “It took all my willpower not to rip his hands off of you. If only the camera’s weren’t rolling...”
“I thought it was just my imagination.” Ohno confessed, feeling a little relieved that he was not alone in his plight. “I thought I was thinking too much about it and that was why I tried to ignore it…”
“It was bad huh?” Nino raised a hand and patted Ohno’s head comfortingly.
“Mmhm...” Ohno closed his eyes as Nino’s fingers played through his hair. “That’s why I tried as much as possible to stick to you...”
Nino stifled a smile. “Good. Stick closer to me next time, too... I’ll protect you.”
Ohno opened his eyes.
“It felt disgusting.” He gazed at Nino thoughtfully. “It felt disgusting when he touched me... But I don’t mind being touched by you.”
Nino grinned at him. “Yokatta.”
“What makes Nino special, I wonder?” Ohno cocked his head to the side, smiling jokingly.
“I’m always special.” Nino scoffed, lightening the mood.
Ohno easily laughed along with him and Nino was happy to see that he was finally smiling.
“Come on, then. Let’s go to bed.” Nino offered a hand, leading Ohno towards one of the hotel beds. “I’ll cover you with my touch so you won’t ever remember that disgusting Oyaji’s face again.”
Ohno stifled a snigger as he easily let himself get pulled into the covers.
“I dare you to say that to his face tomorrow.”
“Hm... Maybe after the shooting is through.” Nino replied, reaching out to dim the lights.
He then snuggled deeper into the bed and wrapped an arm around Ohno’s waist.
“Feeling better?”
“Mm.” Ohno murmured, nodding. “Much.”
They stayed like that in comfortable silence, not really sleeping but enjoying each other’s warmth...
“Ne, Riida?” Nino suddenly spoke up. “Tomorrow, let’s be extra ohmiya.”
Ohno raised his head from the crook of Nino’s shoulder. “Extra Ohmiya? Is that what the fans call it now?”
“I don’t know.” Nino shrugged. “But let’s do it, ne? It’s going to give that erro oyaji less excuse to get to you.”
“I don’t mind.” Ohno replied, stifling a yawn. “But come to think of it... Aren’t we being extra ohmiya right now?”
“This doesn’t count.” Nino insisted.
“Because the camera’s aren’t rolling.” Ohno agreed. “If the fans ever saw us like this…”
“They have.” Nino reminded him, referring to the one Aiba and Sho had caught on camera during 24 jikan.
“Ah.” Ohno replied, remembering. “That was embarrassing.”
“You were the one holding me.” Nino reminded him.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ohno airly replied.
Silence stretched on as they became lost in their own thoughts... The air-condition whirred peacefully in the dim room and the chill was comforting in the midst of a warm body.
“I wonder if they really think we’re gay?” Ohno mused aloud. “I mean... I don’t think I am.”
“Are you calling me gay then?” Nino muffled voice came from above him.
Ohno blinked up at him. “Do you like guys?”
“No.” Nino rolled his eyes. “Do I look like I like guys?”
“Well, you always touch me...”
“And you enjoy it.” Nino shot back. “Does that mean you’re gay?”
“No…”
“So there you go.” Nino snorted. “That was stupid discussion.”
“But Matsujun says we act suspicious.” Ohno insisted, shifting a bit to properly face the younger member. “And Aiba-chan too... They say we really should restrain ourselves if we didn’t want to be branded as gay.”
“Everyone thinks everyone in Johnny’s is gay.” Nino reminded him “It’s no use trying to prove our masculinity anymore. We have to use it to our advantage.”
“But I like Nino.” Ohno insisted bluntly. “I like it when Nino touches me... And when we sleep together in the same bed. And Nino’s a guy...”
“Then you’re Nino-sexual.” Nino easily replied, not at all bothered by the sudden declaration. “And I guess I’m Riida-sexual too, so it’s all good.”
“Nino... sexual...” Ohno slowly repeated, his eyes narrowing. “Nino-sexual... Hmm... Ikeru kamo...”
“Deshou?” Nino yawned, rubbing his eyes. “Now, go to sleep... We have to get up early tomorrow.”
“Nino sexual...” Ohno murmured to himself, not listening. “I’m Nino-sexual... Hm...”
Nino rolled his eyes and pecked the surprised man on the nose. “There’s your goodnight kiss for being the Nino-sexual to this Ohno-sexual guy.”
Ohno looked at him oddly. “It sounds funny when you say it.”
“This whole situation is funny.” Nino shrugged. “If we tell people about this, they’ll just say we’re in denial.”
“But we aren’t, right?” Ohno suddenly looked concerned.
“Of course not, don’t be stupid.” Nino eyed him. “Why? Do you have any desires for guys other than me?”
Ohno fervently shook his head. “No! Of course not!”
“And I have eyes only for you, so quit yammering and let’s go to sleep.” Nino bluntly said, closing his eyes. “I’m tired.”
Ohno looked at Nino, who had already settled into the covers and determinedly trying to sleep.
“...Goodnight.” He finally said, snuggling closer to the other boy.
Nino grunted in response and wrapped his arms more snugly around him. Ohno sighed in content and closed his eyes.
His earlier icky feeling of disgust had now totally disappeared as he was enveloped in Nino’s warmth. A small smile made its way into Ohno’s face as he felt the soft, firm hand resting on the base of his back...
Nino’s touch always made him feel better.

~choconova
Verse 1
It can’t be that I couldn’t bear
To keep your heart away
Because the more I hear you wanting me
The more I want to give you what you want to be...
Bridge
But if this story were to end
In countless tragedies
Then I’d rather have this healing heart
A healing heart to be...
CHORUS
More than a soul searching for a place
To rest it’s tired wings
I wanted more than paradise
So beautiful in spring
Because I’m not afraid of happiness
But I’m scared of wanting you
This world cannot explain to me
Why this just had to be
A Me and You...
Verse 2
I’ve been crying alone all my life
So sadness is a friend
But I hoped that we could be sad together
Till the very end...
I thought I found the warmth I needed
Through your very hands
But I’m scared of reaching out to find
That you’re not there when I need you the most...
Bridge
You hold my hand then run away
I’m left confused and blindly astray
If you would leave me there to stay that way
Then I want...
*Repeat Chorus
CODA
I don’t know if my heart can take
Another heartbreak so cruelly soon
I’m not afraid of tragedies
But I’m scared of facing it alone
And if you won’t have the strength
To hold me up when I am dead
Then let me go so I won’t break instead...
*Repeat Chorus
I’m praying you would have the courage
To fight the world for this Me and You...
Reliable
~choconova
Stanza 1
You said you weren’t in love
But you’d love to be
The Painting across the gallery
Couldn’t be as hard to read
As you would be
But then when people ask you why
You say you want to feel important
You just wanna have to rant
At this reliable woman who
Wouldn’t give a damn-
Don’t you feel guilty?
Don’t you feel... Oh.
Chorus
Close your eyes for a bit
Look away in the meantime
Because I think I want to cross your path...
I wanna be reliable
Reliable for you
Cuz I can’t seem to get you off my mind...
Stanza 2
You say love makes people happy
You say it makes the world go round
But I wonder what makes you say it
When you have two feet off the ground
To be in love is to be complete
I wanna laugh at your philosophy
You wanna feel satisfactory
Between two lies and mockery-
Don’t you feel sick?
Don’t you feel sick… Oh.
*Repeat Chorus
Coda
Take a leaf from your library
I wish you’d take notes of me-
I’m saying You make me Complete...

~choconova
Verse 1
My darling
It’s okay to be afraid
Here’s my hand
It’s a little trembling...
There’s no way
To tell how many more
Tears we need
To shed…
Bridge
But I can swear
If we’re together
The sky won’t be
As dark as it would have been
Had we turned away...
Too scared to stay...
Chorus
A meteor fell from the sky
And landed on earth
The day I saw it shooting
Across the stars
You were looking up too...
And the moment it touched
The ground, I came running
And the sparkling path
Led me straight up to you...
Verse 2
My darling
It’s okay to be a little angry
Let me hold you
Till you’ve stopped shaking...
I’d like you to stop
Running away from me
At every stumble
On the road...
Bridge
Because I can swear
If we’re together
The rain won’t be
as cold as it would have been
Had we given up...
Too tired to stop...
*Repeat Chorus
Coda
The skies kept our promises
A secret from the world...
This bond borne from the
Meteor showers falling to the earth...
*Repeat Chorus
- Mood: amused
This snow
~choconova
Verse 1
This snow
will always look different in our eyes
though it falls from the same sky
Verse 2
Our hearts are trembling
As we watch the falling coldness
From the darkening clouds
My arms are numb around your silent form
As we are surrounded by whiteness...
I wont ever get to know everything about you
But still I’d rather that it was you
Bridge
Only when your time becomes shorter and shorter
Does your dreams finally surface
Even if forever will never reach us
It’s a shame that tomorrow at the very least
Won’t wait for us…
If we can’t ever be true to ourselves
Then at least fall to our knees
In the midst of...
Chorus
This snow
will not turn red for us
No matter how much we bleed
Or cry...
Our existence will not be enough
For the skies to notice
Our desperate prayer
Verse 3
Though we never say anything
We know what can happen anyway
And we have turned to each other
Verse 4
The sound of our footsteps will always
Remain in my memory
And though we may never see each other again
At least in our memories
Let us meet again...
I won’t ever get to see everything of you...
But I’m still glad that I got to meet you...
Bridge
Only when your time becomes shorter and shorter
Does your dreams finally surface
Even if forever will never reach us
It’s a shame that tomorrow at the very least
Won’t wait for us…
Since we won’t ever see the sun again
At least be with me in the midst of...
*Repeat Chorus
Coda
This snow
Will always be blindingly white
Taking us away from this world
But still I will continue to protect you
till the very last moment...
Sniff.. I like it. It's so sad. It paints a picture of two lonely souls sitting underneath a tree, watching the gently falling snow as they slowly start to die... T.T
