Arashi Fans in Minority! WHERE ARE YOU FROM? n WHAT ARE YOU?

zinnie

Hello!!!

I thought we were supposed to discuss Arashi in our native language but I am afraid no one here can speak Tibetan or Hindi? whistle

or am I gonna be surprised?!

If you think there's no one like you (oh how unique wink

), write it!!!

Hiya! I'm from Brunei and I won't be surprised if no one outside of Southeast Asia knows where it is. ^^;; Our official language is Malay, but we are really bilingual. English is our other major language.

And Malay isn't simply one type, there are at least 7 types in Brunei. We use standard Malay for formal/office occasion. I know about 3 types - not only dialects, but different linguistics system altogether. ^^ Other languages spoken here are Chinese, mainly Hokkien, and Arabic. We have Chinese schools and Arabic-medium educational institutions. I'm currently studying Japanese. Hindi movies from Bollywood are common in the stores and the cinemas. ^^ Haven't watch any recent ones since I've been busy. ^^;;

Anyway, looks like I've just introduced my country rather than talking about Arashi. XD

Nice to meet you. You're the first Tibetan (and only!) Arashi fan I know. (*^ーﾟ)v

The reason I know about Brunei is Wu Chun whistle

From USA, specifically New Jersey.
I'm practically 100% Austrian like, 80%, with the 20% as English.
So I speak some German since my Grandmother doesn't speak much English since she came with her parents from Austria :]

I'm from Philippines, specifically Quezon City.. Before anyone go commenting bad things about my country, Philippines' really a great place for a visit.. Not all Filipinos are thieves, stupid, whatever..

What am I? I'm a person.. Kidding! I'm currently 23 years of age, working as a Software Engineer/Programmer for a certain logistics company. I love to write fanfictions, RP a lot at gaiaonline.com and I love online games ^^ I do want to learn how to speak Japanese and Chinese (Mandarin) fluently.. I do know hot to speak Hokkien/Fookien dialect though.. It's a type of Chinese dialect..

My goal.. At least watch a live concert of Arashi and L'arc~en~ciel.. If I ever got a chance to talk to them, I'd be the happiest person around.. Lolz!

I love him.. A lot.. But I love Arashi more.. Lolz! Wu Chun really is a grand actor.. If I ever get a chance to meet him, I won't have problems talking with him since he speaks English and talks Hokkien ^^

Hi, I'm from India, specifically Mumbai. And I'm Tamil (born in Chennai, South India). Is there anyone here who speaks Tamil by any chance? For that matter, are there any other Indian fans?

I became a fan after I heard the ending song for Kisarazu Cat's eye (really like Sakurai Sho's acting too in that series). I had seen Matsumoto Jun before in dramas, and even Nino but never quite thought of them as in the guys from the band Arashi, until I heard that song.

Speaking about minorities... I'm from Greece and I'm the only one in the forum who speaks Greek. Ελληνικά κανείς;;;
I also speak English (duh! obviously!) , Japanese and I understand French. Most of my friends here take a liking to Arashi but they are not fans.

Hi

I'm new here
I'm from Qatar...not sure if you know where that is<< i've been asked millions of times before where Qatar is? XD

I can say my english is good but not excellent ...i'm not fluent yet!!
hopefully i'd study Japanese more seriously other than just learning words from dramas and stuff!!

Arashi are not really popular here but there are few fans I guess ...actually Japanese entertainment isn't really very popular here but its starting to spread I see XD

anyway i'm looking forward to having fun here!!

I'm from Russia, but I currently live in Spain. Actually I can't believe I still haven't found any Russian on this forum exept my sister. T__T But I still think that there are Russians here, they're just hiding ;)

yo! i'm from the philippines...

i'm still a college student and i don't have any arashi cds [dont tell me, i know i'm pathetic] ... haha,, well, i have NEWS [no one's asking and sorry if i'm off topic]

i know there are many Arashi fans in the Philippines... there are plenty of us... but there're still no stores where you can buy 'original' arashi CDs here...

i can only talk tagalog and english... and understand "super" simple japanese words [hehe,, just wanted to add this]...
