Arashi Halloween!

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

I meant to post this on Halloween, but unfortunately, one of my students was absent last Friday, so we couldn't take the pictures.

We took them today! :D

These are some of my girls who are in my Japanese Club. I'd always opined that Oh-chan is my favorite Arashi member because I'd fallen for his voice. :) Conveniently so, three of the girls managed to like three of the other members (Jun, Sho, and Nino). By the time we got our fifth girl, we had to tell her that Aiba was "the only one left" (Sorry Aiba fans! :D) But again, fortune smiled upon our group, and Aiba was immediately accepted and appreciated.

                   

Most of the "accessories" were loaned - Aiba's scarf (mine) and black jacket (my Mom's ^.^), Jun's Scarf (mine) and black jacket (another jacket of Mom's), and Nino's tie (which was originally one of those wide deals, but I tore it apart and re-taped it more narrow). Sho's "45" was literally taped on to her shirt just before we took the photos (after I'd run down to the custodian's office and begged for a roll of electrical tape).

All in all, we had a blast dressing up like this, and the best part was the recognition we got in school from my other students, and quite a few teachers as well. :) They knew who we were, and even complimented us on our "look."

So the "truth album cover" we took at first wasn't exactly matched up because... I'd forgotten to look up the image online before we took the pictures. All I could remember was that Ohno was seated, Nino was on the floor in front, and they all had mean looks on their faces. XD Sorry if we look more scary than mean. ^.^;;

Hope you all enjoy them as well. :D

What a fun idea for costumes! I wish I had friends who knew who Arashi is cause id totally want to dress up as them!

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was /totally/ fun! And so worth it, even a week later. ^.^b

[amefurift.livejournal.com]

YAY pictures!!

Hahaha... it looks like you guys totally had fun! (^_^)

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! We did! Took us long enough to get together and get that freakin' group shot. ^.^;;

[abtomat.livejournal.com]

costumes are great! you guys look good~
did you get your students into arashi? xD
oh-chan's my fav as well!

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Yeah - my friend amefurift got me into Arashi first, and then I passed that love on to my students. :) It's funny because they are predominantly hispanic, and yet they really like Arashi too. :D

[tegoshi-desuuu.livejournal.com]

It would be nice if you didn't do such a half-assed job. =/
It's kind of ridiculous.

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Wow. That incredibly was mean. I'm glad my students aren't members of this community, because they would have been hurt by your rudeness.

I'm sorry if my kids aren't rich and can afford to look exactly like Arashi. Maybe you should just keep your comments to yourself unless you understand the full situation, hrm?

[tegoshi-desuuu.livejournal.com]

It was directed more towards you than your students. :D

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

You should still keep your comments to yourself, since they are less than welcome.

[tegoshi-desuuu.livejournal.com]

Why would it matter if they are welcome or not? I have a right to express my opinion. =)

[tenshi-angels87.livejournal.com]

true, but no one invite your ass comment in this community. go somewhere else and bitch, arashi fans want to share love, it's a lot more than what you can do. again move your rude opinion somewhere else.

[matsubunny.livejournal.com]

+1

go to **** community and bitch there if you want ne ^^

[misosiru.livejournal.com]

[itsromnie.livejournal.com]

i agree with you,
but i dont mean it in a mean way.

[tenshi-angels87.livejournal.com]

The comments by tegoshii_desu was rude and it is definitely NOT "looked very kindly speaking"

geez.. great job defending a wanker.

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

I'd like to respectfully ask that this thread in the post cease. You have all made your opinions clear and there is no need to continue.

[evolardnek.livejournal.com]

Loving you guys costumes :D

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) We had a lot of fun dressing up. :D

[aishoni.livejournal.com]

ignore that that stupid hater

Really love your effort and their enthusiasm :). I love seeing people spreading the Arashi love ♥. Totally cool in my book ^^b

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You're absolutely right. :) And what's funny is that the love is spreading further - a few of my kids have told me that their parents kinda like the songs too. :D 2 generations, ne?

[supershinn.livejournal.com]

Cute idea! I wish there were more people around here that knew about Arashi.

My friend and I wanted to make A no Arashi costumes a few years ago, but that plan never materialized. ^^;; We did make awesome Maou shirts, though.

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Maou shirts? Do you have pictures? :D

I picked the truth video outfits for 2 very important reasons: one, all my kids have seen and love the video, and two, really easy costumes. XD

[supershinn.livejournal.com]

I'll take some soon. I'm wearing it right now, so it's kind of hard to take a picture of it. xD

Third reason: truth is just an awesome song, ferserious.

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Haha! Totally! Forgot that most important reason of all. :D

[baka-power.livejournal.com]

*dies*
this is the most awesomest fan look i've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D My students will be thrilled to hear that when I tell them. ^.^b

[ashchronicles.livejournal.com]

wow..looks like so much fun~!!
i'd like to dress as nino..hehe..simple!^^
lol..pity aiba...XD
i wonder if anyone would do the kaze no mukou e look..:P
jun's outfit is..umm...interesting in there..haha..

[safiremoon.livejournal.com]

I love Kaze no mukou he, it kinda looks like Matsujun tried to turn a flag into a poncho in that one though.

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Yeah! It definitely was fun. :D I agree with safiremoon, though... Jun's poncho-cape thingy might be hard to duplicate. ^.^;

[sakuradanielle.livejournal.com]

Thats so cool. I wish we could have done it..

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Don't wish - do. :) Plenty of time to plan for Halloween 2009. :D

[sakuradanielle.livejournal.com]

Thats soooo true.. *runs to find 4 friends to do it* I am soooo Satoshi.. <333

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

You are the best. ^.^ Thank you for your kind words. <3 I shared them with the one who played Nino, since a bunch of us went out for karaoke today, and she was very happy to hear them. :D

[lovryu.livejournal.com]

despite all the rude comments above, i just wanna say you guys look great!:D

[rainawallis.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) We had fun, and that's the main thing. ^.^

[amtopm-xx.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, that's so cool! I wish I had more Arashi obsessed friends. I would totally do this. And I would totally have nothing against being Aiba-chan. ^_^ He's the only one I could be considering we're both tall (though I'm taller than he is by a couple inches >_<)
