Did you watch this? it was just before YUI's performance, Takki was asked about the songs they'd just heard in the ranking, and he mentioned KinKi Kids'. He and Arashi in chibi days were backdancers. There's a little talk between Takki and Ohno kun.

( video clip, snaps, and rough translation HERE! ^^ )

I'm growing fonder of Andrea kun each day! Lately he's been giving me more reasons to update this journal ^^
This was actually supposed to be a different kind of post, but I guess I'll just bulk everything in one single entry ^^

First things first: SCANS! YUI in October's Oricon Style.
( details,credits,thumbs,previews and archives.. all under cut! )

The REAL post was supposed to be a simple update to mention that
I FINALLY HAVE A DECENT LAYOUT

Next update. I've added romanization to the Music Station rankings I posted last time. I'm also slowly uploading the bits with the talks and live performances of the episode's guests. It's all in this post. I only have 2 videos uploaded right now, so if you're interested in the others check back later ^^. All performances uploaded.

Onto other stuff -aka my life!

CHANGE OF SUBJECT: ( Heroes )

TOTALLY RANDOM:

I WANT TO FOUND A NEW FANCLUB!
I don't know when I started admiring this person, but the more I got to know him, the more I admired him!! He's super smart, knows a lot about a lot, is gentle, fun to be around, a child at heart, has a cute face, is a good friend and an AWESOME professor!

I'm reading "Cell" by Stephen King. It's been a while since I last read any of his novels. Maybe that's why I'm finding this one a little boring ^^; even though things seem to be picking up now. There's this Johnny character in there. First time I read that name I was like, "What is Johnny san doing in a Stephen King novel?! O__O" LOL
( tiny interesting quote )

ARASHI is still in the top 20 on Oricon Chart!!! #16 to be precise. After more than 1 month of their single's release, being on the top 20 isn't usual, ne!
What's bugging me is Akikawa Masafumi still in top 30. It's kinda irritating, I have no idea why!

I LOVE PRODAI OST! ^^v

-23 DAYS TO NEWS NEW SINGLE AND ALBUM

Yesterday I finished watching the 3-hour Music Station Special (アゲウタ、ナキウタ　Best 100x2). It took me 3 days to watch all that. Weird ranking I must say, but that's for another post (maybe). This post is about a performance I totally fell in love with. I'd already heard this song before (it was released in 2004), but I love this version a lot more than the single version. ♥

I've uploaded the performance, and added full lyrics and rough translation.

I just found a hilarious video on johnnys_wa_ai. First i saw this was an imitation by Aiba chan (HEY!x3 2007.09.03 telephone box), and then half an imitation by Nakatsu (Hanakimi ep 10).

I'm talking about the comedian 小島よしお (Kojima Yoshio). It was a bit embarrassing to watch at first >//< but when the laughing kicked in everything else went out !!!
Ah, in this video you can see KAT-TUN's Nakamaru kun and Tanaka kun (Tanaka kun literally ROTFLing), as well as some Johnny's Juniors (I spotted smn from ABC and I think KMF2).

Edit: embedding from veoh cuz youtube removed the video. Kojima Yoshio in YOUtachi! 2007.07.22
