Did I ever tell you I love Muji food? Like, not the clothes, but the random selection of weird and wonderful foods they stock up near the back. Like plum cheese tarts and black pepper cheese bites. Yum.
I should be buying less since I’ll be in Japan in a few days, but I can’t help it. Anyway yesterday concluded the neverending series of birthday parties (surprise, and otherwise).
From Audrey’s birthday party, courtesy of Shangjun:
Then on Tuesday, it was off to the Esplanade for Caitlin’s 21st:
Okay the photos are mixed because that night I only took two pictures, and the rest are with Shiying.
The next day I went for a haircut. Hence my fringe now no longer threatens to cover half my face… just a quarter. And then we ambled off to Morton’s where I had 2.5 martinis and felt very pleasantly tipsy all the way to Paulaner at Millenia Walk (haven’t been there since I was ten! Hur…). It seems a bit sad now to think that I only ordered an extra martini because I wanted to eat the olives. That rush of salt, how can anyone hate it? Saaaaalt.
During those 3 days I spent a lot of money. A lot. OMG.

Okay, again, you probably don’t have to read this unless you are actually interested…
Nurul! Have you watched Episode 57 yet? I was so excited about the skit I made CAPS (because now I have so much time … hur hur)
This is where Kame gets adorably confused because Jin runs up and tells everyone he’s Megumi (the girl character in the skit) even though Nakamaru already beat him to it earlier on.
Junno gets bullied – again.
Look at Junno’s -_- expression at being the new “transfer student” while Kame laughs his head off.
The three of them try not to laugh while Junno tries to convince the “teacher” that he’s a transfer student from New York in a totally cool voice.
Jin, always jumping in at the most inopportune times, steps in to save Junno and looks appropriately contrite.
Kame and Ueda are just like, whatever. Kame says some cheesy dramatic line and Ueda is like “WTF??”
Then Junno the transfer student says that he likes Megumi-chan from his new school and Koki goes ballistic because Megumi is apparently his girl. Cue surprised looks x3.
Evidently they’ve all been conned…
This is when Kame delivers the truth while trying very very hard not to laugh:
Megumi died 3 years ago.
#
If that didn’t make sense, it probably wasn’t supposed to… it was ad-lib after all. I nearly died laughing when I watched it though, because Jin was fake-crying half the time before Kame revealed that Megumi died and everyone was just like… “her death changed us” in a mock-serious tone.
And for next episode, which I shall watch in Japan:
With Ayase Haruka!
I love them they are so retarded ♥

DUES PV IS OUT.

yes probably ;) akame is so attractive
i don’t understand how it’s possible when they’re not even gayit seems a bit weird because an article came out in The Television (some weekly jap mag, like 8 days which reports on TV the following week) going on and on about AKAME: JIN IS KAME’S GIRLFRIEND!!!!! and everyone was like omg it’s just like the old times when jin was the nurse and kame was the doctor. obviously everyone got too excited because as you can see from the caps, it wasn’t really as dramatic as that.
i love 16 seconds!!! when i first downloaded it it was off limewire when i was still blindly searching for things, anything KAT-TUN related. then when i SAW THAT CHAIR DANCE. did you know he LICKS the chair when he finishes??!?! how is that supposed to keep anyone sane? he really knows how to work a crowd…
go look for the translation of the lyrics; they are actually very sad. i think he wrote them himself… not sure though. he has this thing for putting very sad lyrics into fake-happy tunes so it becomes a fake-happy song. ahh i don’t know how to explain it.
SIHNY HAPPY SPARKLY BOYS ♥

yeahhh. seriously everyone loves akame. what jin and kame playing doctor? OMG?! wth?
ahhh do you have it on mp3? send to me!! yeah i know i stopped breathing. he is so slutty. thank goodness.
actually tt does seem quite kame, the whole fakehappy thing. which is quite sad. happy sparkly sad boys = win. =))

yes i do have it i’ll email it to you soon!
and yes to the jin/kame doctor/nurse skit. jin looks so good as a girl it is unbelievable. how does one person look so girly and manly in just different hairstyles? do not understand.
the skit is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njo2t4mOg6Y&NR=1

amazing you are incredible. also, do you know where i can find niji by nino? cant find it anywhere.
haha okay i just watched ep 57, seriously, do you watch it without subs? i couldnt find a subbed one, since obviously its too early, but ya it seems quite funny. though kames hair a bit the funny now ah.
and i watched the akame nurse/doctor skit. SERIOUSLY. jin looked good. which is REALLY STRANGE. and oh man the puppy bit at the beginning. am very amused by the mass hyperventilation of the fans whenever akame touch/ say something to each other.
supermango 11:44 am on May 10, 2008 Permalink
okay i’ve emailed it to your yahoo address.
hmm no… try the arashi lj comms they probably have a ton of stuff like that. and yah i watch it without subs. it’s a bit hard to understand but i can get by.
in their younger days there were a lot of these skits. there’s another one floating around somewhere of KAT-TUN being a family where kame is the dad and jin is the mother. although the nurse/doctor wins because their characters flirt with each other so outrageously. hahahaa.
nurul 5:00 pm on May 10, 2008 Permalink
i love you, seriously.
haha okay yayyy im trying to spread japanese love to my flatmates. they are resisting. though,ah, seriously, everyone is a sucker for hyd.
whoa okay i dont understand anything. will wait for subs.
i know! ive just watched tt. the yellow helmet of happiness, right. akame are actually pretty good in it! kames just bouncing off the walls. hahaha the nurse/doctor is just… omg….
supermango 5:28 pm on May 10, 2008 Permalink
i didn’t really like HYD that much… and i’m not a matsujun fan so it was difficult to keep watching when he was the main character and he got the most screen time. i liked the other three much better (oguri shun aside, the other two were really interesting… especially in HYD2) and predictably i was rooting for hanazawa rui … but oh well. not resolved even in the movie it seems.
the part with ueda and kame was very funny. all the random sounds! and the mikes haahaha.
kame’s hair looks bad. when he takes pictures in magazines with his new haircut it makes him look washed out and old and tired whereas the 1PG hair was so goooood. and also around mid 2007 when he was doing the cartoon kat-tun II you tour. ahhhhh.
nurul 3:40 pm on May 11, 2008 Permalink
hmm i think if you dont know anything about jdramas,though, you watch the first episode of hyd and go.. OMG! so its good for spreading the love. then as people get used to it you can ’suggest’ anythingelse. haha. matsujun has an annoying face, but hes a pretty good actor. the movie is just going to be madness, evidently. since its got explosions, casinos and what looks like the grand canyon?! haha.
oh yeahh the 1pg hair was love.
anyway, have fun in japan, love!!

i was going to ask how come you were awake at such odd times at night when it occurred to me that it’s really already something like 8am in england. obviously waking up early is more foreign a concept to me than staying up late…
i liked the first few episodes of HYD. maybe cos it focused on hanazawa? hahaha the first jdrama i watched in full (that wasn’t on tv) was water boys. then… the rest is history. :D yes i saw the HYD trailer! can’t wait! even though it’s probably going to be angsty + love triangle again. i hope the other two guys get a bigger role. matsujun is a pretty good actor yes i agree (compared to the rest of the johnny’s boys anyway… besides nino maybe) so i guess it makes up for the fact that he can’t sing. at all.
leaving tmr! so excited.
nurul 11:45 pm on May 11, 2008 Permalink
hahaha. well, i’ve slept from 7 to 7 and now its 430pm and im sleepy again. i know you dont sleep as much as you should. so dont go being a pot.
actually ive never watched waterboys. hmmm. perhaps i should.
i love akira in hyd, btw. hes so adorable. i might even like him more than rui, really. because rui really does get kind of boring. except tt its oguri shun. who is beautiful. and now has a girlfriend! fun!
how can you forget kame! kame can act! seriously i think kame’s acting is pretty amazing. and considering the crazy roles hes played from nobuta to 1pg, its incredible.
haha i thought i was the only one who thought tt matsujun cant sing. his solos are how annoying. and hes all nasal. eeeek.
i am like! how envious! and happy for you! seriously, okay, you be safe. and happy! its japan! glorious, amazing, shiny and beautiful japan!
clarisse 11:55 pm on May 11, 2008 Permalink
you’re going too, so don’t be envious. and you’ll be there during their SUMMER TOUR. *envious
wonder if any of the APCC people are KAT-TUN fans…
hmmm i think kame’s acting is not matsujun level yet, but it’s pretty good! waay better than yamapi. hahaha oh but matsujun’s acting was pretty bad in kindaichi. not that i was really paying attention to him because kindaichi is worth watching for its own sake. :D
water boys is pretty funny and there are a lot of half-naked guys. but if you’ve watched one you’ve watched all (just like gokusen) but it’s still pretty good. partly because yamada takayuki is a really good actor.
yes akira! i found myself hoping he would get together with tsukushi’s friend, whose name i cannot remember now. ah well.

*ignorespak*
haha! even if they were fans, i dont think anyone would be able to skive off and watch them. anyway theyre only in fukuoka a week after i leave. and apcc doesnt allow you to stay on!!!
havent watched kindaichi. okay you should make me a list of the things you think i should watch then next year when im bored i’ll watch them. hee hee. yamapi gets REALLY GOOD ROLES even though his acting isnt great. its quite sad. also, did you know tt apparently yamapi hit 7th on some poll for the best looking asian male. kame was 4th. im shocked! why is yamapi so attractive to so many people?!
are you mixing akira up with soujiro who actually has the whole issue with the best friend? akira’s the one with the crazy mom and twin sisters.

HAHAHAHA!
The ad lib is the most crackiest and stupidest!
Especially Jin.
His laugh, he always wanted to laugh.
And Junno acting was a quite amazing.
I never thought he can be that serious.
The way he said ” We live in different world ”
sometimes matched. HAHA.
