ロックangel is created (opened on 17 June 2006) because my Nino fandom drove me to it :) I somehow feel Nino deserves more love (than what he is getting now). And I don't really see much English fansites dedicated to him as well. So I got inspired and ta-da!

x Name
Wonder why I chose ロックangel? ロックmeans rock (romaji: rokku). So it stands for rock angel. To me, Nino can be quite a rockstar on the surface but actually he is as sweet as an angel. In some way, I just got stuck with the name rokku angel and I'm sticking with it ;)

x Lady
Name: ichan
Age: Nino is 1 year older than me :)
Fan History: Since 2006 and still a huge fan of Arashi and Nino~
Why Nino: Why not him? XD
How Arashi / Nino got me : I am a Arashi fan, Nino is my favourite (because my LJ is too Nino-ified, it might give others wrong idea XD). I became a Arashi fan in 2006 (after watching their concert VCD). Their songs got to me, and their performances as well. For a non-fan then. If a concert could get me all hyper, and made me want to watch over and over again.......I was in the fandom before I know it (^ ^)

As how I became a Nino fan, I probably should have expected it. I mean I had a pretty good impression of Nino since from the beginning (so that was a good start, and probably a sign). However the moment that NAILED me, was Arashi's first con: Nino's solo and guitar performance in Aiba's solo (I KNOW it was Aiba's time, but man Nino really rocks in there). May I also add, his style of sarcasm is my cup of tea ;) And he is a WICKED genius X)

♥ I enjoy creating websites, yet this is my first website for a Japanese artiste (NINOMIYA!).

♦ I've always refer ロックangel as a mini website, and never as a fansite. Because to me, a fansite means a huge site, providing all the needs of a fan. This is just my corner of the net, to show my support for Nino, that's all.

♣ I tend to be random. I don't bite :)

♠ I'm really happy to say, the first time I saw Arashi live, was in Taiwan, their first Asia stop. On both con dates (16 & 17 Sep 2006). It was SURREAL. Somehow, the moment hasn't sunk in.

♥ As of 18 Nov 2006, I became a mod at Nino Daily. Which means my essay worked XD (the essay was self-titled 'Why I think Nino is a genius') Ja, I will do my best.

♦ One of my wildest dreams came true. I saw Arashi live @ Yokohama Arena (29 Jul & 1 Aug 2007).

♣ Tokyo Dome on 15 June 2008. It was my first Tokyo Dome concert. And also a first time, singing 'Happy Birthday' to Nino, with so many fans. It was a very precious moment (the guys rarely had concerts near his birthday).

♠ Arashi's 2nd stop at Taiwan. I had a blast on both dates :)

♦ I don't have 1, or the ultimate favourite pairing. I like any of them with any of them (haha, does that sound wrong?), because there is a different chemisty between each pair. But I do have a favourite trio (no name for them though, maybe I should come up with one?). Nino, Sho and Ohno :)

♣ 嵐の五人が好きですけどニノは本命...かなぁ？（＾＾；）

♠ It was a fight, but it was worth it. My 2nd Tokyo Dome concert on 6 Dec 2009. ARASHI, NEVER LEAVE ME~! NINO, NEVER LEAVE ME~~!

♥ ニノの「言葉より大切なもの」は大好きなんですけど．．．「ギミック・ゲーム」は本当にヤバイ。
