So – here is the last part. We spent three nights in Tokyo, but it was effectively two and half days left because we flew off in the morning. Less words before the cut now because there is just so much more to see in pictures.

I don’t understand why I’m hungry all the time these days. I’m not eating as much as I was when I was in Japan, but that’s normal, isn’t it? Who eats four meals a day? So why am I still so hungry? I do not understand.
I think my house may be running out of food. Hunger pangs are shitty.

I have discovered I have nothing to buy for Holland because I already have about 356456 winter coats in varying lengths. Except that they are all black but I can live with that. But I need socks. And tights which are not footless. And preferably not black or brown or some boring colour. WHERE DO I FIND THESE? TELL ME!

In other news I just watched the first part of the CTKTIIYOU DVD. Oh my god. I want to be there right now. The 2008 tour has started and the reports are coming in, and I am feeling rather sad.
The atmosphere during a live show is really different, huh? I felt like that at the 伍佰 concert. After The Eagles I couldn’t stop smiling. And even Eric Clapton, which was woefully short, left me high.
GLASTONBURY AWAITS! Next summer baby.

289: japan: yokohama city lights
r
It’s early in the morning now, and as usual, I can’t sleep. The sky is red and you know what they say about red skies in the morning and red skies at night. Tonight the moon is full, as it was last night, but tonight the moon hung low behind the tree outside my house and I had to look harder to find it. It’s just like most things, which disappear without you noticing in the hope you’ll look ever harder for them.

This post is about Yokohama, with which I think I might have a special love affair. This is not to say that I didn’t love all the other cities I went to, but that they mean different things to me. Tokyo is the place of childhood and dreams, mainly because I went there so many times when I was younger, though as you grow older you discover its ever-increasing adult attractions. Osaka was all about food and relaxation and just generally having fun doing everything and nothing. Kyoto was full of history, but Yokohama…
Yokohama is full of lights and romance. Yokohama is the place you bring girls to when you want to impress them. It doesn’t seem like much because it’s so near Tokyo and it’s so easy to overlook, but it retains that particular, off-centre, sort of feeling. It’s near but not too near. It has its own voice, its own attractions, its own history. Some people say Chinatown wasn’t too interesting; sometimes you just need to know where to look. Stepping into Minato Mirai is fascinating precisely because we’re at an age where we can appreciate it, still: the free theme parks, ferris wheels, lights across the sea, the red brick warehouses and the smoke curling up from beneath the windows. It seriously is the number one place to bring a girl on a date. It is so romantic you can choke.
282: 写真を撮って、いいですか？

Just a quick post: in Yokohama now, heading to Osaka tomorrow morning.
Everybody loves Japan, yes? I am no exception. I wish I could stay here forever, but we all know that’s not possible. However I thoroughly indulged my fangirl self ogling cute boys everywhere (and the girls are so pretty) including random Kanjani8 Nissin Cup Noodle advertisements in the subway, caved in and bought two KAT-TUN DVDs (haha did you know Johnny’s Entertainment has their own separate section in HMV?) and a magazine (the one where the photo below appears) while my boyfriend dragged me all across Harajuku and Shibuya shopping and looking for his weird obscure underground shops. Oh, and he bought about half of Uniqlo as well. Also, I have overheard more conversations about the merits of Akanishi vs Kamenashi vs random Japanese celebrity from girls with their boyfriends than I can count. Starbucks is freaking everywhere.
Today was good: Yokohama is a pretty place. Pictures when I come back; the night lights are beautiful. I’ve also sat more rollercoasters than I can count, including the ones in Disneyland (the parade was magical omg, but I got sunburnt haha) and some random super drop rollercoaster in Yokohama today, in a free theme park no less!
Lots of food. Ate orgasmic sushi at Tsukiji it’s like food porn. Really can die. And my Japanese is super bad it’s so embarrassing.
More when I get internet again.

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).

OMG is this why jinx was all ‘hurhur have you seen jin and kame acting as a couple on cartoon kat-tun’ on my facebook?!?! ohhh seriously. i cannot take it anymore. how come i dont know anyone this cute?! this is so frustrating! ahahahahaha. no i havent watched it. i am trying to stem my obsession! it is not healthy!! seriously, have just discovered kame’s solo: 16 seconds, and am madly in love.
-
dandelionwine
sauce.

supermango
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 ♥
-
nurul
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. =)) -
supermango
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
-
nurul
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
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
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
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
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!! -
supermango
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
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
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.
-
dandelionwine
i love how no one else comments here hahahahaha
-
nurul
*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.

I’ve been trying to plan for Japan this past week. So I got a notebook, copied down my accommodation and flight details, listed a million things to do and see (and eat !!!!). That includes Disneyland and USJ which are touristy like hell, but I’m a kid only once and who cares right? Finally getting to go with someone other than my parents. It never strikes you how shitty being an only child is until you actually get to a theme park and you have to go on all the rides alone. Bah.
I’m halfway through Osaka. There’s still Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kyoto to look up. And funnily enough, my boyfriend has been put in charge of the shopping destinations.
… what? Turnabout is fair play, no?
-
lucas;
LOL if I’d had gone to Japan I’d be living my waking hours at TVTokyo and dentsu’s biddings. But I’ve not actually caught a series while it still aired; usually I wait for all the episodes to be screened before watching on live streaming. Can’t stand the suspense.
-
nurul
omg have you seen the dues vid… includes kame dirty dancing and akanishi licking himself… seriously, i nearly fainted…
haha will you be there when their new cd comes out? help me get one, ok? i think tts the only thing i want. ahhhh sounds super fun you lucky, lucky girl!!!!
MY EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!!!!
-
supermango
haha yes i saw it… there are GIRLS! in a johnny’s video! and kame is grinding some girl!!!! OMG. his costume seriously sucks ass though i don’t know what possessed him to become a michael jackson wannabe… and jin’s hair looks really off/hot at the same time. the tongue and the chewing gum just killed me though omg haha
i preordered the limited edition but you can still get the regular ed i think. it only comes out on june 4th and i’ll be back by then already so i can’t buy it there.
-
nurul
I KNOW!!! seriously….its like… whoaaaaa
obviouslyits making me speechless so im not going to keep talking about it. haha.
oh okay no problem. i’ll try to get it when im there, then. so how did you preorder the limited edition? wait. you preordered the limited edition and youre getting it shipped to sg?? OMG i thought you were going to pick it up in jp while you were there! ohhh you win, risse. you are T3H ULT1M4T3 F4NG1RLZZZZZZZZ.
i’ll be back when you are!!! yayyyyyy. when are you leaving?
-
supermango
this PV is making me very happy. the last good one was real face which is really saying alot…
i preordered it online and shipping is free to SG! yes i did make a post about being weak awhile ago since i got conned into buying it but the upside is that now i know that the 8 mins of pure deliciousness in HIGH DEFINITION is going to be in my grubby little hands soon hur hur it’s all about the boys. omg i can’t wait i’ll probably spazz all over jin -_-
you’re going to japan too?? WHEN!!! but anyway yah. it is only available for public consumption on june 4th so …. maybe HMV will stock it. they are quite onz about these things.
anyway! leaving 12th, next monday. will be back 27th
-
nurul
what! what! SHIPPING WAS FREE TO SG?!?!??! DAAAAAAAMN. arghhhh i swear its 8 minutes of OHMYGOODNESS -faint- and thats from a fancam with crap sound. hd is going to be so much better. like seriously, how much hotter can these guys get???? though honestly, akame tend to get put into the worst outfits. jap defn of outstanding.
ohh hee hee hee this is my subtle way of saying tt IM GOING TO THE APCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(alotofdramaabtmoe,i’lltellyouwhenigetback)
oh okay im back on the14th, i’ll see you after you come back then! ohh and i’ve gotten you chocolate that tastes like draco malfoy, though if you dont get the reference when you see it im going to eat it myself.

sorry this is late reply BUT
YOU ARE GOING TO FUKUOKA!!!! omg the amount of !!!s is insufficient to convey my (our?) excitement HUR HUR WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME EARLIER???
then we could go together JUST LIKE WE SAID WE WOULDMOE is a bitch. i hate them. they probably hate me too. they are SO anal-retentive. they are #1 on the list of reasons why i really hate civil servants (even though my friends are going to turn into them)
talking about sparkly costumes have you seen kaizokuban live? its their concert in 2005 and they apparently designed the costumes themselves, so predictably ueda is walking about with this gigantic pirates hat (looks pretty cool really) while JIN HAS ROADKILL. what’s with him and fur and little dead animals?! i do not understand. he probably thinks its sexy… and there is way too much stuff that just floats about and does nothing. like a random wrap around their waists. or some weird stuff. ahhhh but who cares
please don’t tell me the chocolate is ferret-flavoured.
yesasia.com gives free shipping. if you run fast enough to the website now you may be able to catch it :D
-
nurul
aiyoh because i also only knew a few days ago. theyve been having a long discussion with moe who has basically disowned me. its all very wtf.
i know, right. sigh. im thinking maybe go back and volunteer? random ang mohs appear to do it sometimes, so we shld be able to also.
hmm no i dont think ive seen it,though the description of the costumes seem familiar. okay seriously, i think jin actually has made a lot of bad wardrobe choices. like what is it with his stylist and regularly putting him in a skirtwrapthing? he should fire his stylist. ueda actually generally seems to be quite put together. in a odd way.
no it is not ferret flavoured. guess again.
haha no its all gone on yesasia. will just go for the regular edition then. hee hee. im thinking if i can convince my flatmate, she might let me put up a big poster of them in our kitchen next year. mmmmmmm…

I should probably not be so excited over this.

yumyumyumyumyum. yes. im downloading it. just in case you were wondering. haha. okay im replying to the other stuff here again. sorry!
on the them debuting late even though they were super popular as a backdancing unit, i find tt quite uniquely japanese. in a way. like, who else is going to notice backup dancers? was watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzkCMblfr7o , which is them backdancing, and OMG all of them have black hair! ahahahaha. anyway, wldnt the seishun amigo thing be quite clearly a temporary thing, since it was just for the show? yeah i think the delay probably helped. i mean, since everyone wanted them, for them to debut at the tokyo dome was probably quite smart. since they had a fan base already. yeah i thought it was a bit odd tt jin ran off suddenly for 6 months right after they debuted. but thank goodness, he’s come back with better english. haha.
have you seen the thing in which nakamaru demonstrates his “god like skills at making cleanser foam”? its HILARIOUS!!!! “jitsu wa boku” or smth.
much love,
-
supermango
YES. he is really made of win.
and i found a youtube link! yah it was temporary but it did mean kame technically debuted before all of them, which is sure to cause some tension esp since they didn’t know what was going to happen to them at the time. so, oh well.
its amazing how all this business stuff works. it was probably a really good marketing strategy but it sure wrecked hell on the boys themselves… anyway they were fighting so much between themselves in the earlier years it was probably a good idea to let them grow up. they’re still like little kids now. hahaha

just in case you wanted the high quality version.

daaaaaamn. hahaha. okay i am so going on a kattun hiatus until after exams. not good for my state of mind. haha. you know, the more i watch their stuff the more nakamaru grows on me. omg did you watch the cartoon kattun with l’arc en ciel? seriously dont you think hyde is like a grown up kame????

omg have you seen this: http://community.livejournal.com/jone_records/
seriously…. its madness… -

he got sexy…
actually no la, he still smiles like that now. so cute right
omg i’m obsessed -

GOKUSEN 3 IS SHOWING. omg so fast
-
nurul
haha yeah tell me about it. i clicked on your blog page and went “oooooooooooh” for about like, 10 minutes. ya omg the smile is killer! are you actually watching gokusen 3? not sure if im going to bother.
okay im going to reply the longer comment here because its a pain to scroll down so much.
yah seriously. if i ever learn japanese that’ll be the last you see of me. it wasnt even a rock tt ueda used, it was like, a traffic cone or smth. i find ueda actually freaky. like he is SO WEIRD. though the whole him and kame getting into a fistfight during a concert and then coming onstage and singing some best friends song is actually quite funny. but ya! hes sooo strange. yeah they said nakamaru looked like a mascot on some interview show! and theyre always making fun of his age. so poor thing.
hahah im never in school because i hate the library. its old, ugly and depressing. i just borrow books and bring them home. evidently youve been watching the old 13 video! hee hee hee.
there’s actually a crows zero shirt: http://directstyle.world.co.jp/webshop/item/W000112627053.html
yeah okay! so wait, does tt mean you’ve already watched kurosagi the movie? if not, then we watch together if its still showing when i get back, ok? omg i will need someone who understands the fangirl-ness. hahahaha. all the best for exams! get some sleep occasionally, ok.
haha thats like on cartoon kat-tun with horikita maki where one of kame’s first comments is “hey, this is the first time i’ve seen you with make up on” or smth like that. yes omg she looked SO BAD. but im really glad they kept it quite realistic la. if it was some wacky love triangle it would have been so weird. haha i love the episode of cartoon kat tun with her, not the least because kame is cooking on it…
hahahaha you’re going to jp with him right? omg he’s got to be prepared!
love,
-
supermango
no i’m not – anyway no one is subbing it now (it just aired on saturday) so i’m not going to bother. they’re promoting some new johnny’s junior now and the rating was 26.4% which is CRAZY.
yah i remember he just took the traffic cone and put it there and said “pretend this is a rock” and everyone is just like WTF?? ueda … is the only one of the members i’m apathetic about. but i suppose he can be quite funny if he wants to too.. hahaha. anyway years later when they debuted they talked about that fight and kame said he actually wanted to quit after that.
i hate the library too but i have to go to school or i just won’t study. staying at home is so distracting with th bed whereas here you kind of feel like you have to study because everyone around you seems to be working hard. erp.
when do you get back? i’m away from the 12th to the 27th but i dunno if its still (or ever) showing in singapore. i’ll watch it with you sure!!!
i just rewatched the maki episode and it was so funny. partly because everyone was trying to make themselves appealing to her and junno and jin just kept saying irrelevant things. ahhhh.
yup i am but it’s all good. ahaha :)
-
nurul
quite frankly, i dont understand the rating system at all!
i dont know. i dont really like koki either, to be honest. but at least he seems quite… nice..? ueda’s just a bit of a freak. goodness. though i dont understand why -kame- wanted to quit, since it was ueda who was getting flak, right?
eek i get all freaked out in the library then i cant focus. too many stress cases. i just go to my living room. anyway, i tend to be alone in my flat alot so as long as i stay away from my com its okay la.
im back on 15th may. yayyy! okay excellent. well, lets just meet and do something where we can gush to the fullest extent. haha.
i know! omg theyre all sooo funny whenever a girl appears. its like !!!!, ATTACK!!!
have you seen this, btw? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x361vx_ann-cut-220207-mtsujun-shun
much love!

supermango
oh. ratings are just basically the percentage of people in the region that actually watch your show. so a rating of 26.4% means roughly 1 in 4 households is watching gokusen 3 at that particular time. that’s really quite amazing considering how many people there are.
i used to think koki was weird but i guess he’s okay now. he postures alot and tries to act gangsta (haha) and stuff but he’s actually pretty smart (he writes all the rap and goes to university etc etc) and he gives off a teddy bear vibe. hahahah. kame wanted to quit cos nakamaru made a mistake and ueda was the nearest one, but he didn’t cover for him. after that the other members told him about it and he apologized but kame was out of the room and didn’t hear anything about it, so when kame got back he got pissed and went to confront ueda and basically screamed at him. ueda – naturally – got pissed too – and they started punching each other. so kame was all like OMG i can’t do this etc etc
they talk about this fight alot even now. it’s quite funny (:
i shall look at the clip when it’s not 7am in the morning. hur hur

you guys are damn scary.

you haven’t seen japanese fangirls who take knives to concerts yet ;p
-
nurul
haha what japanese girls that take knives to concerts? for what? to get blood off the idols? eeeeek!
oh! okay NOW i get it about the ratings. i was like, why is it in percentages… shldnt it just be like, #1, #2, etc etc… omg that is crazy for gokusen 3. there’s a fangirl in every other household, apparently.
yeah i was reading something abt how he actually wanted to quite kat-tun for uni but johnny was like “NO!”. quite sad ah, how all their lives are run by some uber rich guy who basically owns them. haha gangsta teddy! i MUCH prefer him without hair. him with hair just looks odd. i know! it must have been seriously emotionally traumatic or smth. they keep bringing it up!
its basically oguri shun’s radio show with matsujun where they call inoue mao at like 1am in the morning. its quite funny la.
and pak, just think about it. we could be worse!
-
supermango
no, it’s to stab other girls who like a member they don’t… it’s quite fucked up really.

cos you haven’t seen them dance yet omg
i am so weak.ps after their latest single leaked yesterday the pre-order for their latest album sold out within 4 hours … and i caved in and bought it ahahhahahahaaa
omg talk about retail therapy. its not even coming out till june

nurul
you have bad taste, pak. seriously. go and watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6rlFfk1bbc and whatever else comes up when you youtube kat-tun. they are like, HOW HOT. okay at least akame… but that is more than enough…
omg yes, risse. haha. what!!! ahahahahahahahaha. i am very very amused. thats a brilliant marketing strategy though. omg now they can have another pre-order and it would definitely sell too! ahhhhhh!
-
supermango
oh. yah. thats how they sell 400,000 in the first week because EVERYONE’S preordered it omgggg
but i heard the new song and i really really hope the PV is good.much as i liked kame with eyeliner i prefer them dancing so every live lips performance didn’t really do it for me:
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1090395bheEEXsw?searchId=601823141841548915&rank=15
this is an example of how hot they can be
omg every time i watch it i die a little inside.hahahaha
-
nurul
what’s the new song called?
hahahahah! see. the only problem with that song is that there is NO KAME. [and that its called PINKY] though yes. i understand. hahahaha. jin’s smile = killer. -
supermango
Don’t U Ever Stop.
yah, complete with the misspelt ‘u’
here’s the link: http://www.box.net/shared/dln0d39cww
they played it on radio last friday and it made it onto the internet that same night hahaha i love crazy fangirls!yah when i first saw the title i was like WTF? JIN? but that was before he went to LA so i have high hopes his english has drastically improved by now. the lyrics to pinky are super suggestive but zzzz it’s not like anyone can stop watching it though i agree it’d probably be 100000x hotter if it were kame dancing with him instead.
but it is not that i am really complaining
-
nurul
haha. as always. japlish is pwnage. mmm. i like the song!
ohhh what would the world do without crazy fangirls? life would be so boring! hahaha. seriously, okay. with all the energy tt goes into fangirling i think we could solve world poverty.
haha obviously the rabid fangirls would watch it because its super suggestive… though the way kame dances is occasionally a bit the slutty, dont you think? not that im complaining… i find it amusing tt on youtube theres like a dance he does tts labelled 18+. ahahaha. and theres this MASSIVE amount of screaming involved!!! omg its so funny!
-
supermango
what video is that! yes i like the song too. i like how all their singles are so different from each other but somehow they can still pull it off. probably an image thing… compared to the other JE groups they are really different. like they don’t give off the squeaky clean scandal free image but something just draws you to them… hahaha
but i like kanjani8 though – they are really funny. like comedic funny. they do stand up comedy shows during their concerts and stuff. a few of them actually contemplated being comedians before they got whisked off to johnny’s instead. it is really amazing.
i was just talking to my junior last night and we figured there is really no way kame can ever be straight. i mean, he is, i’m sure … but somehow imagining him with a guy is much easier than being with a girl?! maybe it’s because he looks kind of feminine (even now) and is totally … omg. haha is it just me!?
-
nurul
i realise its also known as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ__GDNVOcE&feature=related which has an AWFUL title. hahaha.
i think it might be because they are actually quite hot. i mean like, look at arashi. you cant really go crazy over their looks or anything, though they are talented. kat-tun has the benefit of being hot and insane.
ooh i havent watched kanjani 8! seriously i didnt realise tt johnnys took boys at such a young age. like 10 or 12, its like omg, their lives are seriously owned by the company la.
hahahahaha nooo i think the problem is thinking of kame with just one girl. i cant imagine him with just one girl. i can imagine him with lots. i mean like, hes what, 21? and obviously thinks hes quite pretty. i think he seems a lot more enthusiastic about the guys he works with, perhaps. hahahaha. i want to know what the “…” after the “totally” is! yeah a bit la. lots of them look slightly feminine. i think its the ridiculous skinniness.
-
supermango
omg i just watched that in full view of the study room. hahaha and yes…
alot of people think arashi is hot though! for me they look okay — they just have this homey look. like the boy next door kind of look. sakurai sho is really smart though!! i guess it’s partly because kat-tun took so many years to debut that they really had so much time to perfect their image. there was one episode of shounen club they did just before they debuted and they watched old videos of themselves and they were like “man, i’m so glad we didn’t debut in that state” cos they all looked weird and awkward and young.
yeah it’s probably the ridiculous skinniness. which is why i’m happy that yamapi actually has a sizeable chest (for his size anyway) and a 6 pack and doesnt really look anorexic. but other than that… well some of them are really good looking. like nishikido ryo! (kanjani8/news)
you must admit the whole business strategy is very good. and it works out for both parties since johnny gets backdancers for all his debuted groups and the young boys get to train up and become stars. ahhh. he is really a genius (even though he does look like a bit of a pedo)
kame had a 40 year old girlfriend! from then on, it has never been the same. he did say he liked mature women and i think that’s very true for his character and so i cant imagine him with like some cute japanese thing. or anyone his age. its just a bit weird. which breaks hearts of fangirls everywhere around the world. hahaha
slutty. the word is slutty.
-
nurul
ahahahah! its impossible to stop watching once you start, i dont blame you! i hope everyone else appreciated it.
hmm. ya i guess tts true. but like, arashi doesnt have tt like… sluttiness about them tt might just be due to the akame factor in kat-tun… though perhaps this is just due to me finding the whole idea of matsujun being slutty really really gross. yeahh actually the fact tt they debuted quite late is a good point. i didnt think abt that. though also its not like they were working together a lot beforehand right, weren’t they just random backup dancers for one of their senpais?
okay you say tt and ive just watched stand up! in which, im serious, you can actually see yamapi’s ribcage. though he must have been quite young in it. still. its REALLY SCARY. its also got oguri shun and nino from arashi. its okay la. good for exam time.
i actually havent watched anything with nishikido ryo in it yet. whats good?
his genius is undisputable, but seriously, man. its all a bit mad! and its so sad if you like, work for years and years and never really make it.
hahaha well think about it. we’re okay with chicks and older guys. im just quite amused abt it. though ya! seriously, i was quite shocked tt she was like 40! i mean, 30 wld be a lot more acceptable. haha well, fangirls can take it. there are always more hot guys out there.
slutty is such a good word for kame, dont you think. hahaha. and i mean it in the BEST way possible!
-
supermango
hmm no actually it was pretty surprising they debuted so late because they were so popular. like they started out as a backdancing unit but eventually they became so popular the following year they held concerts already. and that was a pretty big thing for groups who hadn’t debuted yet. and they keep working and doing stuff and dramas and things, and they were still holding concerts all the way up to 2005 (twice in a year, two different tours) even though they still hadn’t debuted or released a CD.
so even though they were pretty unhappy about seeing 3 groups formed after them debut before them, they were like… oh well… we still get to do concerts and stuff so it’s not too bad. but they were seriously thinking of giving up just before debut time i think. around the nobuta period because of the seishun amigo thing and i think kame got a lot of shit for that from kat-tun fans.
it was pretty bad for awhile, esp a few months after they finally debuted, jin had to go run off to LA. so its been a rollercoaster ride for them, i think. somehow i wonder whether johnny deliberately delayed their debut just to hype up the popularity. their debut concert was in tokyo dome!!! NEWS _just_ performed there after debuting for like 5 years!
i know what you mean about the slutty. hahaha
266: 你是我的花朵

爱你伍佰年！Thank you for the ticket, guys. It was so wonderful. I sat 10 rows from the stage and I got to see every single detail up close, properly, including his 34869759 guitar changes (beautiful guitars too!) and everyone was jumping up and down with lightsticks and generally going crazy. I didn’t sit down at all the whole time, and that was over 3 hours. He gave two encores, there was a lot of fireworks, and random confetti. Whoever said Singaporeans are staid obviously aren’t going to the right concert. Chinese fans are seriously crazy. It was so fun. That said, I have never seen so many Ah Bengs congregated in one area before. Hahaha.

japan! japan! i love japan. =( i am suffering from post-apcc depression.
the gardens are so incredibly beautiful! bubbles! and the greasers are hilarious omg.
also, yes to the lack of kat-tun advertising. they were going to perform in fukuoka and i swear no one who wasnt interested knew about it(and thought i was some crazy fan because i was telling the locals about it).
ooh yes to the regional variations. i tried both hiroshima-style and regular okonomiyaki when i went to hiroshima with my host family. seriously i eat twice as much as ayaka.

Yes I know, I love Japan too :( I want to go back again!
The greasers are amazing. They’re so old! And just cool and alk;djgfdg it is good to have such a life.
It can’t be that they’re only big in Tokyo, because they held like 33 concerts and it was all packed. That being said there are a lot of fans who go to multiple concerts… BAH. DID YOU SEE, PI APPEARED! I hope that makes it into the DVD :D
Your host family sounds very rich, by the way. The kaiseki! Random trips to Hiroshima! My host family wanted to go but we had no time. Bah.
ruimin: YES! HAHA. I remember you took the one in York.
nurul 10:47 pm on August 14, 2008 Permalink
I KNOW! seriously you know what i want to see? i want matsujun at a kattun concert making snarky comments about their clothes. have you been watching maou?
is the kaiseki the posh tofu restaurant? haha that was ayaka’s aunt. who perhaps is rich. hm. the going to hiroshima was compulsory cos ayaka’s in hiroshima uni and she had an exam that morning. hiroshima is amazing. i’ll put pics up on facebook soon.
btw. why are you leaving so soon?! =(
clarisse 11:49 pm on August 14, 2008 Permalink
I just watched the NEWS Pacific con MC where Sho and Nino appeared and it was so cute. Even though I don’t particularly like NEWS or Arashi that much, but concert MCs are always pretty funny. Matsujun with KAT-TUN adjjgdfgfg sorry he would just snipe at Jin and Jin would snipe back at him and Kame would just stand there laughing his head off. :/
… yeah it is. Show me pics of Hiroshima, yay! XD
I don’t know. My term starts 1 September, but arrival days are 22 and 23 August. The following week is like Welcome Week i.e. orientation without the camp, but I don’t know that I’ll go for all of it… :X haha.
