Matsumoto Jun
It's been a hectic week since my last post. The weather has been horrible only until recently. I don't normally eat ice cream, but the sweltering heat has me buying a few packs to store just in case it gets too unbearable.
But it's the end of August, and we're seeing more rain now in Singapore. Above all, it's Matsumoto Jun's birthday!! His on-screen persona has changed sooo much since I first got to know him. And although his Domyouji (Hana yori dango) character is probably his best known role, I love his Sawada (Gokusen) most.
It's probably weird that despite him being the Arashi member whose drama I watched and loved first, he didn't bait me into Arashi. I was probably more interested in getting to know Actor!J, thus only looked up MatsuJun's dramas (I was instead baited by Nino from Yamada Tarou, who made me want to know star!neen on top of actor!neen).
Besides neen, the most vivid dream of the Arashi members I've had is Jun's. I think its something I'll remember for a long, long time. It started at the local market of an Africa-like place. Jun and a team of staff were in an open jeep, driving down the market street. For some unknown reason, gun fire started, and people were scrambling to get out of the way.
The next moment, Jun had jumped down from the jeep and shielded a local woman from a bullet. It became a huge, breaking news that MatsuJun had passed. I remember crying, only to wake up.
But here's the weird part.
I woke up, checked the news, only to found it was true. I was so, so devastated that I cried harder. Only to wake up again. And then I went to check the news again, only to read the same headlines. Further devastation, and harder crying ensued, and I woke up again. And then I checked twitter to the same headlines.
Now, this was a time when smartphones just started releasing, and not everyone has them yet. My family didn't, because they were still overpriced, and we're not one to spend on luxuries. So when I started checking twitter, it felt weird because my mother would never allow teenage!me to check twitter immediately upon waking up.
So I realised that I was still in a dream. Upon the realisation, I woke up. But I only happened to woke up to another level of the dream (think inception). Tired, I woke myself mentally up. This was for another one or two level of dreams.
When I finally woke up for real, my eyes were drenched while covered with crust of dried tears. Of course, in real life, that even did not take place. A friend told me that dreaming of someone's death means the person is in great health. I have never been more pleased to dream of a person's death (Sorry, Jun!)
But it's been (give or take) 12 years since I've entered the Arashi fandom, and I'm glad he has transformed from someone who was shy that hardly smiled, to someone who laughed a whole lot, and is able to make fun of himself now.
Happy 36th Birthday, Matsumoto Jun 様 !!
