Fuji TV Update!  
Christmas has come early!!! :D

On Monday, December 28, Japan time, Mezamashi will be airing the American Fans of J-groups (read: Arashi!) on TV! And not only that, but it looks like Arashi will be interviewed at the same time and will be shown the clips! O_O;;;

Here's the email I got this morning from T-san:

Liz,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
My parents were here last week so I took a week off.
Anyway, the segment will air on Dec. 28th (Japan Time)!!
Tokyo office will interview Arashi this week and show them some clips from NY I believe.
The segment will be about Arashi only, so I assume some of the stuff I filmed will not be used...
Hope you understand this.
Have a wonderful holiday season!!


I responded, asking a few questions, and she shot back the following email:

Thank you very much for the rapid response.
Yes, the piece will be airing on Mezamashi but I don’t know the time yet, probably around 7:30 am Japan time.
I think some of the stuff we filmed at school will be used. The producer in Tokyo will edit the piece on the 27th
so I am not 100% sure but will talk to him.
Talk to you soon.


YATTA! AT LAST! :D And it only took.... 9 months? XD Remember, we filmed this back in April! Heck, in a little over 1 more month, it'll be February, when all of this actually started!

We'll have to see how they edit it though, but I'm very excited that they're finally showing this on TV! As I mentioned before, I /will/ be getting a copy of this from T-san when it's all said and done, so no worries about recording it on TV. I already have the clip Tokudane did for Shingo Katori from SAMP when he was doing "Talk Like Singing" and I'm working on the subtitles, now that I have the complete translation of the clip I got. So, there's my big news! Exciting, right? It should be fun to watch (hopefully they won't emphasize the fact that at karaoke we didn't have an uchiwa for Nino. XD He might be peeved at that ^.^;;;)

As soon as I know more details, I'll be writing on my LJ. However, regarding the downloading of these clips, I'm probably going to lock out the post to friends only. T-san had expressed reservations about my posting the clips online, but I assured her that they would not find their way to YouTube and other video streaming websites, so I'll definitely need ALL of your help making sure that stays true! :)

OMG!!!! THIS IS SO EXCITING! And I can't believe they're gonna show it to Arashi too!! I wasn't even there for the filming but I just had to contain some massive RL flailing for fail my dad mock me. XDD;;

I will definitely have to figure out the time difference from Japan to Brasil and make sure to find an internet connection so I can stream it live. 8DDD

Oh dear Lord, TELL me about it! I kept thinking that T-san was being the polite Japanese person by not telling me directly they were never going to show it. Thinking that, I wondered if she ever thought I'd just let it drop and never email her again. XD

Soooo excited! *.*

THIS IS AWESOME~! XDDD took long enough but so worth it! I'm really happy for you guys~ Arashi gets to see clips of you-woohoo! Can't wait to see their expressions after realizing they do have a lot of overseas fans ^^ Although I don't think I'm on your friends list, I'll be looking forward to your report! XD
Liz: Arashi - Nino2[info]rainawallis on December 20th, 2009 09:30 pm (UTC)

Seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing how they view us. ^.^;; I'm very much hoping that they will be so pleased, that they'll announce their upcoming US tour. XD XD

AHHHH SO EXCITING!!!

I'm so excited for you guys!
I can't wait to watch it, especially since Arashi might see the clips too <3

I wasn't even there for any of this, but I'm still flailing haha. I will make a note so that I can try to watch the clip on Keyhole!!!
Liz: Fail[info]rainawallis on December 20th, 2009 09:47 pm (UTC)
No worries on that account! I will definitely have the clip in hand once it's aired, so even if you miss it, you'll be able to DL it. :)
tini jo.[info]bakushou on December 20th, 2009 09:45 pm (UTC)
brb, crying.
OMG WHAT. Wait so I may be misreading this but are they not gonna show the karaoke part or will they?
Liz: Sho Pissed![info]rainawallis on December 20th, 2009 09:49 pm (UTC)
Baka-chan! :D We sang only Arashi songs at Karaoke, why would they leave that out? XD

Nah, they might cut out all the stuff my kids did (since we watched "Last Friends" and they danced to KAT-TUN's video "Rescue," since neither of those are Arashi and more J-groups related.) A little sad, but at least, they are airing it!! You need to be in the AIM chat when we all watch it. XD

OMG THAT IS SO EXCITING. When the she says New York, does she mean they'll show clips from when Sho was here? Or other Arashi fan meetings?
Liz: Arashi - Nino[info]rainawallis on December 20th, 2009 11:09 pm (UTC)
I believe she's referring only to the clips she filmed last April. ^.^; To my knowledge, she hasn't filmed any other Arashi meetups.
Maria[info]banana_babe_qt on December 20th, 2009 11:34 pm (UTC)
Wow, thats so awesome! I can't wait to see it! How exciting!!!! ^_6 And Arashi will be shown the clips!? That is just...AHH!!!! Amazing!
Liz: Pile[info]rainawallis on December 21st, 2009 01:06 am (UTC)
Totally! Last time we were supposed to have it aired, they wanted to interview Arashi with it as well, but the boys were too busy with their concert. So they waited until now! Sooo glad they waited! XD

Hey!
This is Tina from the karaoke meet-up! added you on LJ~! I hope I'd be able to catch to live streaming but you had mentioned another means of seeing the videos?
Liz: Arashi[info]rainawallis on December 21st, 2009 01:08 am (UTC)
Yeppers! I'm working on the subbed version of Tokudane now - probably will have it uploaded by tomorrow night, late. I'm going to post links on my LJ, but friend-locking the post, so I'll be sure I've added you so you can get it. :)

The Mezamashi clip will be done the same way.
CK: rida late[info]yuckie_chan on December 21st, 2009 01:19 am (UTC)
I hope the staff showed the video to Arashi too
Liz: Neko[info]rainawallis on December 21st, 2009 01:42 am (UTC)
Based on T-san, the US director, she said she thought Tokyo would show them the clips. But I won't know for sure until next Saturday (Sunday for them) when they edit it. :)

OMYGOD!!! That's a great news and a Christmas gift for you! I hope I would be able to watch it..better download keyhole now or something like that. :D
Liz: Ohno Airplane[info]rainawallis on December 22nd, 2009 04:16 am (UTC)
*grins!* Thanks! I'll definitely be getting a copy of the interview too and will try to get it subtitled to show to the fandom. ^.^b

thanks for keeping us informed ^_^
Liz: Juntoshi[info]rainawallis on December 27th, 2009 12:52 am (UTC)
Haaaai! :D Isn't that awesome? Even if you're stuck, don't worry about it. I'll definitely get the clip from T-san and get it subbed n' everything. :)
booksandsarcasm[info]booksandsarcasm on December 27th, 2009 12:46 am (UTC)
Agh~ I can't believe they're finally doing it. x'D I'd love to see it too. Do you know if any subbing comms are planning on picking it up? ;-;
Liz: Christmas Oh-chan[info]rainawallis on December 27th, 2009 12:51 am (UTC)
I am going to ask someone to translate it for me and then I will sub it and release it here. :)
