Arafes 2020 was my first Arashi concert so I wanted to get the full concert experience. Naturally, a big part of the concert experience is the goods so I was extremely happy when I found out that you can now buy Johnny's concert goods , theater goods, Arashi's Exhibition Journey goods, and basically all the shop photos, books, CDs/DVDs, and other goods for each artist online on Johnny's Online Store





My first Arashi goods from my first Arashi concert! plus my first Johnny's shop photos!

I was very very excited cause when I was first in the fandom, I had to have my sister's friend who went to Japan physically go to a store and buy the All the Best 1999-2009 album for me, and thankfully she was also a Johnny's fan and understood what I was looking for. Now that technology is making being in the fandom and supporting all our favorite groups easier, the only problem I have left is getting it shipped to my country. As is the problem for anything related to Johnny's, in order to buy from their online shop, you must register and in order to register, you must have a Japanese address. I searched online for a proxy service that could do it for me, and placed my orders immediately that same morning when I bought my tickets.

I just finished Todome no Kiss and I freaking love it. It was so unexpected and well made. My only regret is not watching Todome no Parallel side by side like it was made to be , I figure if I did I would love it more and it would be so much more complicated. I haven't completely moved on from Ouroboros yet and I felt like I wasn't able to enjoy it as much because it felt like Maou and I started this drama having no clue that it was just as twisted and now I'm a convert and so in love with the looks and acting ability of both Yamazaki Kento and Mackenyu. It's another one that I'll be keeping in my hard drive with the other 2 above, these are my drama big leagues and honestly I can't wait for the day I'll forget the entire story and plot just so I can enjoy watching it again. The character development is intense and the fanservice is just great, watch out for Kento's close ups. Next time though hopefully I'll do it right and not forget to watch Todome no Parallel side by side. I have been waiting for Mackenyu to act as a host since seeing his post on Instagram but TnK's story got me so engrossed I completely forgot about it and now I find out it was on TnP and not TnK! Someone please sub all of Todome no Parallel please and I need to know where in Shinjuku this was shot so I can make a pilgrimage to Kabukicho's host clubs someone please put info on loca.ash.jp!



The instagram page is full of gems like this one )

It's common knowledge that Johnny's Entertainment is known for having many strict rules for its talents, such as a social media ban. But this year they've allowed their talents' pictures online for promotional purposes, and it seems like the social media ban is slipping too. Here are some stars that have bypassed the ban. I will update the post as needed.

Nowadays, there are lots of Japanese celebrities on Instagram, which helps fans from all over the world be updated on new projects, especially since information is scarce away from Japan. Some of the bilingual ones have English translations for their captions, but the "see translation" tab is useful for those that don't and is helpful for learning Japanese. I'm only listing down those that I personally follow, but the suggestions below each person's profile page will lead you to other people you may be interested in. As you know, Johnny's are not allowed to have any social media accounts, and as I am only including official accounts in this link, only some ex-Johnny's will be here. You can however find a lot of fan accounts of JE groups just by using the search function.
