Back to being bored...

Ok... so i'm all up to date with arashi shows again... so i'm back to being bored... kinda...

not entirely up to date with my fanfic reading but not really in a mood to read atm...

sighz. what shd i do next? maybe i shd try and continue working on the fics i started like a year ago...

oh yes... the rainbow exchange. Not sure if i sent in my entry late... it probably is late by a bit >< but it ended up taking much longer than expected. i wonder who got my request :P hope the requests wasnt too much trouble to write :X

my sis read the fic and requested for a part 2... personally i feel the way i ended up leaves much room for a part 2 coming, but i've not yet worked out the details of what happens next so... took me long enough to get the details of that fic to work already >< i keep changing my mind even very very late on in the story. A weakness of mine i guess... hope that didnt leave any loopholes in the story haha :X

If mrbrown sings arashi songs....

I'd be one happy fangirl.

mrbrown is the nickname of Singapore's satirical blogger, posting all sorts of things from random photos, to social political issues rocking the tiny island... ok. i really suck giving introductions. thankfully wikipedia does a very good job for me...

As a heartlander Singaporean, i wholeheartedly look forward to his latest episode of mrbrownshow podcasts... a podcast where he makes witty remarks and pokes fun at the latest political or social issue in sg... in last year's general elections he made a couple of really hilarious songs, sang to the tune of several famous kpop songs...

i'm not a kpop fan myself, so you could say that those mrbrown songs alerted me to the existence of those songs and gosh, i actually found myself liking the tunes... why were kpop songs picked? cos they are super duper hot in singapore. Some kpop fans felt really insulted and posted bad comments to the videos in youtube but really... isnt that a bit too drastic a reaction? If anything else, the song is more insulting to the singapore government than the korean artists... (and as the line under the videos say, there's some kind of US law permitting this kind of free/creative expression or something). My guess tho, is that those comments came from fans outside singapore, who wont understand any of the gazillion reference made in the rewritten songs. Or those ppl live in cocoons and dont watch the local news.

Either way... i'll be really glad if i get to hear a hilarious local remake of an arashi song... for one, it'll mean that arashi has reached the popularity like that of kpop atm, and that'll be a very good thing indeed.
