Back in 2005 I started at USF and met Carolie in Japanese class. Carolie introduced me to more jpop and in that was w-inds. She mentioned off-hand Arashi and showed me a little bit of G no Arashi, which was airing at that point. Jun had just started HYD and she said she was watching it. She showed me Sakura Sake and while I was like "yeah this is okay" I couldn't get over the fact that Jun couldn't sing and Sho..couldn't either. Late March/Early April I was bored at home (don't remember exactly why but I think I'd gotten fired from a job) and so I started watching my first j-drama, HYD and quickly decided I wanted to know more about Jun and his band that sang the intro. I was totally a Sho fan at first, too! :Db
