Arashi photo book and ABC meme, here I come!

I was tagged by [profile] creamy_amande  to do this ABC meme and I finally got around to do it. I am sorry it took so long.


ABC meme

Here's my important alphabet. After you've read those, it's your turn to describe yourself, your life and things that are important to you by using alphabets.
In the end mark as many friends as there are alphabets. Tag five (5) people.
If i tagged you it means i want to know more about you.
I do not really understand the marking thing and I do not feel as tagging someone, so if you want to go ahead and do it.


A.  ambitious
B.  brother
C.  care
D.  driving
E.  earrings
F.  friends, fan, French, family, there was so much to chose from :(
G.  garden
H.  helpful
I.  irritated (by human stupidity mostly)
J.  jolly
K.  knight (waiting for one, doesn´t have to have a shining armour XO)
L.  lake, languages, law (again, I just couldn´t choose)
M.  messy
N.  nerves
O.  optimistic
P.  polite
Q.  quarrelsome (I have this weird dynamic with certain people, I always and up quarrelling with them)
R.  railroad
S.  sister
T.  travelling
U.  University
V.  veins
W.  work
X.   XP ( I missed it so much, but I finally made up with my Vista)
Y.  yolk
Z.  zoom (as in Ctrl +, when I can´t see what I am reading on my PC anymore)

I hope, it helped, although I guess, sometimes you have not idea, what I am talking about. Well I guess, you could always ask.


Other thing, I want to share with you today, is a photo book scans. My sister ([livejournal.com profile] chivakaza ) was in London for about a week and to me it seems she spent most of her time searching for and then exploring Japanese shops (not that I´m complaining).
She brought an Arashi photo book for me, it has all kind of stuff in there, it ranges from year 2007 to late 2008, from what I can tell there are even pics from 2008/2009 countdown in there. It is a great one and I wanted to share. Unfortunately it didn´t work out as I thought it would.

Preview (sorry a bit baised one):



I do not own a scanner so I decided to scan it at university. The problem is, you are supposed to use those scanners for educational purposes only, and to make sure we do just that, there is only black & white scanner at my faculty. It took me some time to find a scanner that can do colour scans but I found one. I almost died while scanning, afraid someone will catch me as I am really a good girl. At some point an administrator came and started to play with a printer next to me, so the whole scanning process became really tricky.

I checked the scans and realized they are quite awful, so I tried again, but no matter what I did with settings; this is the best I could come up with. This is just preview, the rest you can download (scroll down for the link), but the quality is far from the best. On the other hand, I just really wanted to demonstrate how cool such a photo book can be. I didn´t scan all of it, because I would destroy the book and I am pretty sure, that the boy who came to check on me few times needed the scanner/ copy machine/ printer I was using.
So here is a sample for you and a big thanks goes to my sister for digging it out in that store and buying it for me. So where a Johnny´s fan from Central/Eastern Europe goes to buy the goods? To London, obviously :)


I just loooove this one, damn fold in the middle


some ohmiya for you ...

Aiba´s cool ...

I just looooove Sho here.

More of the dorkiness that I love.

See, Jun. See, Ryo, So, Countdown?

Does anyone else find it weird, that they have a paparazzi section in their official photobook?

Ok, there is much more in the folder, some of them are really cool, so  if you want to have a look, download it.
MF link only, if you need MU, let me know, I can tryMF

thanks to [livejournal.com profile] babicchan  here is MU link as well:)

I doubt someone will use them, or repost them, but you can, if you want to. Just drop a thank you here, or something. And no hotlinking, I do not like that very much.

That's pretty awesome London sells Johnny's stuff. :D That's so nice of your sister to do that for you!

[identity profile] sashjun.livejournal.com 2009-04-17 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is funny. Also, my sister said that it was all Arashi, NEWS and Hey Say Jump in there ... and apparently this one store - they just kind of stumbled upon it, I wonder where they were wandering at the time:)
But yeah, my sis is just a really nice person, if she wants to be :)

[identity profile] daigae.livejournal.com 2009-04-17 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
ah, this looks like the Toretate Shashinkan and it has paparazzi pics because it's not official, just like Otokaras ^^

[identity profile] sashjun.livejournal.com 2009-04-17 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
no idea, what are you talking about, but you might be right for all I know:) I guess I am not so into these things to know the differennce ... but good to know:) thanks for enlightening me.

Thank you for sharing! Taking scans. ^_^

[identity profile] sashjun.livejournal.com 2009-04-18 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
you are welcome

[identity profile] flange5.livejournal.com 2009-04-18 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I just got this this week, and was considering finally breaking down and buying a scanner, mostly for the costume hilarity ^_^

But yes, the paparazzi section kind of cracked me up, too ^_^

Thanks again!

[identity profile] sashjun.livejournal.com 2009-04-18 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the costumes are funny, but the black ones are great and I watched their concert in kokuritsu and most of the costumes actually looks nice and normal when "in action". It used to be much worst ...
Paparazzi - someone explained it might be because these are not official photobooks or something ...
And you are welcome, althought you have the original, so ...

I picked this up myself in Mitsukoshi when I was up in London last week. Left without having a proper look through, so cheers for the scans 8D

Good luck, I am sure they will still have plenty of stuff for you to spend your money on:)

This is lovely, I really want my own copy. I don't live that far outside London really, not comapred to how far I could be, so I'm tempted to get my own copy next time I go in.
Can I ask what store your sister got it from please? I didn't see anything like it in the Japan centre but I haven't been in a few months lol.
Thanks!

[identity profile] sashjun.livejournal.com 2009-04-18 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparantly she got it from a place called Mitsukoshi, does it ring a bell? If not I can ask for details ...

French?
Knight?
Irritated by the same actually...
Veins? Huh?
XP? Yes well I use XP since it started, but now I'm on linux, XP is on another hard drive, I'm on dual-boot. Never tried Vista, but I only have bad critics about it. Except from the things Linux can also do.
Ctrl + : I use it to read the fics actually, cause my eyes get blurry sometimes from too much reading.

Finally you did it!!!!!!!! Thank you <3

[identity profile] sashjun.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
Finaly YATAAAA:) French - I so so like the language but I strugle learning it for like 10 years now:) also I like french cuisine, chese ... you get the point:)
Veins:) Sorry, but it just hit me straight away so I wrote it, they are almost invisible, so every time a doctor needs to draw some blood out of me, it´s very much a torture and a long procedure:)
Vista is so annoying on so many levels, on the other hand I like some of it´s features, so ... not brave enough for Linux:)
So, yeah you are welcome:)
