How's It Going? 2003 Summer Concert [.avi]

[rockthecliche]

I just HAD to use this picture. :D;;

Again, I ripped this for Lori, and didn't want the links to go to waste so I'm posting them up here. :)

The file is roughly 1.7 GB when joined and resolution is 512 x 384. I tried making it as big as possible without killing my computer, so I hope it works! It's at least big enough to fully appreciate Jun's ridiculous ass-shaking during "Te Agero". I LOL every time I see it. :D;; Also, Ohno singing the word 'sexy' is sexy in itself. And Sho! lasfes Sho works pleather like it ain't no thang. And he plays piano and for some odd reason I find that really gorgeous.

Uploaded onto MU; I may/may not upload them to other servers, just not SendSpace. It never wants to work for me. If MF links are needed, I'll resplit and upload them gradually throughout the day. :)

MegaUpload: [ 01 ] [ 02 ] [ 03 ] [ 04 ] [ 05 ]
Mediafire: [ folder; 18 parts ]

Please let me know if you're taking it so I can bombard you with "omg Arashi in COLORED AFROS!" comments. :D

EDIT: added MF link!

ajfliaorhaoigaf THIS IS WHERE THAT DISCO INFERNO THING IS FROM, OMG. I saw a gif of that, back when I'd first entered this fandom, and I'd learned just enough about all of them that I could identify them by their hip wiggling. I-I just don't even...x.x But yeah, that bit of the concert just made downloading the whole thing COMPLETELY WORTH IT. THANK YOU, PLEASE LET ME SHOWER YOU WITH RAINBOWS AND SPARKLES AND FUZZY AFROS.

May I please bombard you with screencaps and flail? Because I haven't even finished watching the concert yet, and I killed myself laughing at their expressions of "I am going to KILL whoever planned the outfits for this song" and capped the hell out of it. XDDD

I wish I knew how to make gifs. I pine.

XD; I was the SAME WAY. I actually could only tell because it's one of the only times they're actually wearing their respective colors!

Please, BOMBARD AWAY! It'll give me something to look forward to after the long day I'm about to have. ^^; I'm rather incoherent when it comes to this part of the concert, though, and not to mention Sho's solo right after this gets me, uh, yeah, so you may get a lot of capslocking and squeeing in return. ^^; But the outfits get better (and by better, I clearly mean worse...this is a JE concert, after all) and Sho playing the piano for "Blue"! And their expressions are PRICELESS; I even used the whole thing as a basis for part of a fic I was writing. :D;;

And I have a tutorial for you! This one is really easy to follow, but you need VirtualDub and Adobe Image Ready, I believe. :D

ut the outfits get better (and by better, I clearly mean worse...this is a JE concert, after all) and Sho playing the piano for "Blue"!

OMGYES-IMEANNO...*_* Those outfits for "Blue"! I thought they were wearing curtains, the puffy kind. >.>;; That was really cute, Sho playing piano (I think I've only ever seen him play one other time, in one of those clips on youtube from Suppin Arashi). Is it just me, or does Sho seem really....pointy, when he was younger? His brows and his eyes and cheekbones kind of give a general impression of slanting towards the middle of his face so he's kinda foxy. XD

Okay, I need to shrink my caps and upload them to my photobucket before I can capspam you, but that will probably happen....this weekend. Because I have all these caps in my folder, with the perfect expressions, that are just begging to be shared. ^_~

Thank you for the tutorial link! And, er, sorry for the blather, I tend to write long comments. ^^;;;

[rockthecliche.livejournal.com]

rofl, those outfits for "Blue" was...actually, my first thought was, "How do they dance in that?!" but decided it was probably better left unknown. And I actually had no idea he knew how to play the piano even though he did play it for the first episode of Yamada Tarou Monogatari (and Nino conducts, badly at that. XD;) but I was like, "AWWW, you are so ;ahf;ew cute!" And you're right, but to be honest, Aiba was REALLY pointy. His smiles, hair, angles. Like, I don't know, I think they were all a little strange looking, haha. Thank god they all grew into their looks!

YES! Capspam away! I'm sorry I'm getting back to you so late, but these past two days have been kind of busy. ^^; But I'm ready! I love capspam!

And it's okay, for some reason, whenever I start commenting back with people, they usually become these long, huge, epic threads of comments, and I always wonder how it happens. XD

Another try at spam! Should I be worried for your viewers on dialup if I post lots of embedded pics?

[rhythmia.livejournal.com]

No worries! It's been a long week for me too, and taking the time to watch this concert and flail was nice unwinding time for me.

Nino's face, I love it. He is being a multitasker, planning an evil, horrible prank on whoever decided on the outfits while doing that little hip wiggle they do around the mike stands.



I love Nino, that's why I enjoy capping pictures of him in wonderfully embarrassing, blackmail-worthy situations. XD

Re: Another try at spam! Should I be worried for your viewers on dialup if I post lots of embedded p

[rockthecliche.livejournal.com]

rofl, can I just say, Nino was the CUTEST in that whole set, except maybe Aiba, but Aiba doesn't really count, I've decided. He's probably the one that managed to convince them all that the afros were a really good idea. X3;

Keep capspamming! I'm actually off to bed because tomorrow's looking to be another hectic day (I've already posted a bunch of post-it's on my screen that say, "STUDY!" and things of the sort, so I can't see what I'm typing now, haha) but I'll definitely respond to spam in the morning!

Re: Another try at spam! Should I be worried for your viewers on dialup if I post lots of embedded p

[rhythmia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, in hindsight it's a very...Aiba-ish idea, but he doesn't look too happy with it either, so I dunno. Good night and good luck with the study, I'll come back and spam the rest of my collection so you can have some fun pics to look at when you're done with studying!

Hmmm, testing bombardment....

[rhythmia.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how big these pics will look, so I'm just going to try one first and I suppose if they're too big I'll post my flail in my own journal and link back here for your amusement?


Ah, Sho's wonderful "aorinaogiark I'm not really here, if I concentrate hard enough this will all be a dream, including the horrible outfits" face. XD

Re: Hmmm, testing bombardment....

[rockthecliche.livejournal.com]

Nah, the size is perfect! Mine are usually bigger when I start spammin gother people, so I think you're golden. :D

OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT LOOK. I love ALL their looks. And I love how MatsuJun's hair doesn't really fit under his wig TO BEGIN WITH and I think it's the only time anyone will ever see Ohno's look of pure disdain when his afro gets all up in his face. ;alshf;wle.

Sho is also the very first one to whip his afro off and throw it away, too, if you haven't noticed that. :D;;; I was like, "ohmygod, you poor thing."

Ohno's face, aofjaogjiaklr

[rhythmia.livejournal.com]

I labeled this one "worried riida" but really, he looks quite...disgruntled. Yes, that's the word. :D He really really hated that wig. I felt so bad for them, even while I was laughing hysterically at them, and at my brother's expression of :0 for the new depths of costume retardery he's seen them reach. XD I'd first seen these outfits at the AAA Taiwan con dvd, referenced in mousapelli's fic, so I didn't realise they were old costumes.

Your icon! <3333 (And now it's Jun's turn!)

[rhythmia.livejournal.com]

Jun's face, OMG. His scary-sonuvabitch face, so awesome, when he kinda is dancing to Nino's left, pops up in front of him, then immediately whips off to Nino's right. I was barely able to get this cap, he was so fast. XD;;



And this one is seriously my favorite cap out of the lot, Jun's 'I'm gonna choke a bitch' face of impending slow, painful doom.I died of epic lolz. Look at his hands around the mike stand. XDDD Ahhh, Jun's not my favorite, but I love watching his and Riida's expressions, they have such mobile faces. XD

Aiba, not looking too pointy here XD

[rhythmia.livejournal.com]

I called this my Aiba AFRO NO! picture for a reason. :D Judging by this, I'm not so sure the wigs were Aiba's idea, even if it is hilarious to think that he would be all, "Guys guys this would be great, no really! We've already done the nerd version of this song, we gotta do a disco version, it would be really NAISU! The wigs make it, the fans'll love it, and they look good on you Matsujun, honest! :D :D :D"



In my head, Aiba is pointing at the audience telling them that they should be glad they aren't in his position right now. WAVE YOUR UCHIWA AND BE GRATEFUL YOU AREN'T A JOHNNY'S, FANGIRLS. Hee hee, Ohno looks kinda disgruntled even from the back >:D
