an update?

Just found out there's a new layout at Johnny's Entertainment official website.

Looking at the Junior, the younger Johnny's, I feel like I don't belongs to their world anymore. It's totally far from what I felt to the senpai groups. Age factor, no?
Well, uhm.. I think this is the longest time for me to like and supports idols (Smap and KinKi Kids and DoTsu). What is that mean? *grins*
Some people might have quick phase of change in their life, and it's quite slow one on mine.

What an update on this blog. It means I just felt pity on my own blog...

By that, we can reassured that though some might have injured or loss (of their property), overall they're all safe.

I kinda hope tomorrow doya is KinKi futari..
I wonder, is doya recorded?
No SDK tonight.

J Countdown bits

I just managed to watch the JE countdown. So, let's see..
I love the senpai. I've said this before xD
and this one is a rare chance to happened..former buddies?

Two leaders rock!

Two dai senpai, Matchy-san x Sato Atsuhiro (Hikaru Genji). He looks awesome, and he's only 37 xD

I saw Uchi, but I didn't see Toma!
Arashi...they looks like teenagers forever ^^'

Kanjani8..I'm happy to see you again, guys~
and Subaru looks cute with that hairstyle and Hina is the most busy person in Japan at the new year.

Don't kill me but Tego, you looks like a kawaii girl!^^
SMAP songs has been singing every year, but to mention SMAP with Arashi that were on NHK, feels like SMAP will come to countdown party one day?
This is the second time as I remember that KinKi Kids sang SMAP songs? Previously they sang Yozora no mukou.

I'm sorry, but who's this group? Ah it's Kis-My-Ft2? xD

Among the juniors, the one makes me curious is HSJ. They were on SDK before, so I'm curious on how they look after 3 years. They were 10 members before, right? They're pretty tall xD
So, let's see

 

Kota & Yaotome! Yaotome surprised me!^^'

 

Should I say it's Keito & Takaki?

 

Darioka & Yamada

 

Nakajima & Ryotaro

I didn't spot Inoo Kei. Was he there? He was there. 

 

5 BEST + 5 HS7 (+ Yuma)

*edited*

Here they are HSJ + Yuma

and.. how I love to see KinKi Kids as the host! To see them more active among the crowd :p

I like the Family stage..

Oyasuminasai~

Endless SHOCK 2008

Finally, I watched Endless SHOCK 2008.

There's some changes. I meant to compare with the previous ES I've watched. Imai Tsubasa replaced by Tomoyuki Yara (MA). Akiyama Jun (MA) replaced by Ohkura Tadayuki (Kanjani8). The lead actress (Kuroki Meisa in 2005) replaced by a former Takarazuka player, (Hanasaki) Ririka.
Somehow I dislike the changes, or I should understand the slightly different story. Subs please?


Yara is fine, he danced passionately and can be such a devilish^^. But I miss Tsubasa xD.


Seems that no one can replaced Akiyama, yet. His role is important here and with respect to
Ohkura, he didn't bring in the lively atmosphere as Akiyama did. I'm sorry that he's leave now.. But it's surprised me that Ohkura can dance! Well, he's Johnnys afterall^^'


Nothing's wrong with Ririka, but I don't sense any chemistry with Koichi, or maybe I just didn't get the story. Ririka has cheerful aura while Meisa has serious looks. It seems that Kuroki Meisa appearance was gave me too good impression. I have to give a thumb up for her for being a beautiful lead actress and dance gracefully even though she's not a dancer. She had a good chemistry with Koichi as well. She's perfect.



The change I look for is at the lead actor, Koichi. He looks more relax. It's the Koichi I've seen a lot lately. The present Koichi^^.

I wonder does he ever feel bored to do (almost) the same show every year? It's been 9 years he did this, correct?
Though for any chances in the choreography and the guests are interesting to watch. Yeah, I'd like to watch more of ES xD

bits:




What's wrong with those pics?
This is the first time I saw Koichi has eyes. I mean eyes expression. It's nice to see his eyes.. talk^^'
All along I knew, Koichi has small eyes. Perhaps because I saw him smiling or laughing mostly. I hardly checked him on magazines, sorry :p

[lyric] 離さないで愛 ~ KAT-TUN

I knew that Tsuyoshi wrote a song for YamaP before, title 'Love XXX'. Apparently he also wrote a song for Kamenashi Kazuya solo around 2002 (read @Rai's LJ).


離さないで愛

作詩/lyric：堂本剛 /Domoto Tsuyoshi
作曲/music：堂本剛

離さないで愛で

サラッと言葉　投げかけるから
ちょっと嫌気

[lyric] Private Hearts - NEWS

Private Hearts

作詞/lyric：久保田洋司/Kubota Yoji　　　
作曲/music：堂本光一/Domoto Koichi


(日文)
誰のものでもない君をもう　見ることはできなくなるね
真っ直ぐに僕を映した　その瞳がうなずく

君の視線がほしくて　わざとふざけてたよ
君がちょっと寂しそうに　見えたとき

And We got Private Hearts
僕らは今 (Private Hearts)
誰にも踏み込めない (誰にもゆずれない)
ざわめきを強く感じ合ってる (見つめ合ってる)
切なさは愛しさ(Private Hearts)

胸のボタンを独つはずした　ギリギリきてる Emotion
もう何もかも知っているような　どっちにもとれる微笑

君の全てがほしくて　両手をひろげてた
空の広さを君は好きだって　言ったから

And We got Private Hearts
僕らはもう (Private Hearts)
昨日に帰れなくても (昨日に帰れない)
こんなにも胸にうずまいてる (あぁうずまいてる)
切なさを信じる

(RAP)
その時が来るのを誰もが待つ
雨を降らせたのは低気圧
傘が無いからと帰るヤツ
ずぶ濡れでかすめる罪と罰
それでも僕らはきっと勝つ
さぁ出発 Private Hearts

運命にさえも決めさせはしない(誰にもわたせない)
こんなにも胸にうずまいてる(あぁうずまいてる)
切なさを信じる
夢より強く抱きしめたい
This is for your Private Hearts(We got private Hearts)

(thanks to http://blog.yam.com/cindenews&page=23)

[lyric] 「君に会えた十二月」 - 堂本 剛

I was cleaning my download folder and realize that some files I've even haven't seen nor listen to it yet. Then I came up on this song, written as Kimi ni aeta junigatsu (taken from saesao). Wow! I'm melted. Call me blind. Everytime I heard young Tsuyoshi singing, I'm melted.
I'm sooo glad when I found the kanji lyric since this song apparently never recorded in a CD.

「君に会えた十二月」
Kimi ni aeta juunigatsu

作曲/lyric：堂本 剛/Domoto Tsuyoshi
作詞/music：堂本 剛

六月も終わり 夏も去り
秋を背にして 冷めたいため息が咲く
懐かし 十二月
rokugatsu mo owari natsu mo sari
aki o se ni shite sumetai tame iki ga saku
natsukashi juunigatsu

言葉無く 形で示すからさ
この感情は 走り続けるんだよ
声も開けずに
kotoba naku katachi de shimesu kara sa
kono kanjyou wa hashiri tsuzukerunda yo
koe mo kikezu ni

降りしきる雪を 着飾る僕に
過去にした夢が まだ生きてんだ
心きしむ音がしてんだよ
furishikiru yuki o kikazaru boku ni
kako ni shita yume ga mada ikitenda
kokoro kishimu oto ga shitenda yo

愛とよべばいいのかも
わからぬまま季節は過ぎ
履き古した時間をさまよう旅人
手をつなぎ 笑ってくれる場所
また来る冬も うたうよ
あの頃の 君に会える十二月
ai to yobeba ii no kamo
wakara nu mama kisetsu wa sugi
haki furushita jikan o samayou tabibito
te o tsunagi waratte kureru bashou
mata kuru fuyu mo utau yo
ano koro no kimi ni aeru juunigatsu

多少のリスクを背負っても
君を愛していたいんだよ
地図を片手に
君もまた たたかう*旅人
一歩ずつ そばにおいでよ
互いに失くした笑い声
聞こえるよ 君に会える十二月
あの頃の 君が笑った十二月
tashou no risuku o shoutte mo
kimi o aishite itainda yo
chizu o katate ni
kimi mo mata tatakau* tabibito
ichimozutsu soba ni oide yo

Starting Monday, I will be in a hectic schedule until 3 months ahead, I guess. I wonder whether I can enjoy my Phi when it's arrived.. I think I really have to wait to watch it until after July 19th (-_-)

My dear friend borrowed me two of her collection, Tsuyoshi First Line DVD Concert (limited edition) and KinKi Kids F Concert.

I so want this!

inside are

48 pages booklet



I think Tsuyoshi is more generous for his fans rather than KinKi. Limited edition means it's special edition^^


bits from KinKi Kids F Concert - Fun Fan Forever:
- The concert is a long tour, a summer concert, full sweat, held in 2003 (so what I saw is Kashiwaba Toji but with lots of smiles^^)
- Johnny's band, FIVE (credit pali_mari), that consist of four members and the keyboardist is also Question? member.
- Koichi performed Dekiai Logic and Tsuyoshi performed ~so young blues~
- Tsuyoshi is a skillful chef!
- Koichi (always) carry a suitcase, while Tsuyoshi carry a bag pack.
- Koichi had a bucket hat while Tsuyoshi had varies hat (like we knew) + sunglasses.
- koichi came first, followed by Tsuyoshi.
- many fan services!^^
- young KAT-TUN + chibi Yabu Kota (HSJ) & Yaotome Hikaru (HSJ) as backdancers
- it's the third concert of KinKi I've watch so far after font de Anniversary and 39 Concert xD

Tsuyoshi, the Star

Tsuyoshi made a special appearance at Arashi Concert in Saitama, August 18th 2002. Along with him were Higashiyama Noriyuki (Shonentai), Sato Atsuhiro (Hikaru Genji), Imai Tsubasa (T&T), and Hasegawa Jun (Johnny's Jr.).

I read one Arashi fans live report incidently and surprised when she mentioned about Domoto Tsuyoshi appearance. The funny thing is, she said when Sho mentioned his name and the lighting spotted on him, Tsuyoshi waved happily as if he's the star :LOL:
I have to say I agree 100% after I saw the clip xD xD xD

the Taiwan news regarding it (Tsuyoshi part is near the end of the clip)

I can't find the other clip, so these are taken from arashi_tengoku~ (thank you)

I was checking on my [si:] Album and just realized that the lyric of Darekasan was written by Tsuyoshi & Sato Atsuhiro. >>

Ah, I miss REA con suddenly *_*

Some wedding events (Inohara of V6, tetsu of L'Arc)

A pair of weekend weddings

Sun, May 4, 2008 (7:14pm EDT)

Two big celebrity weddings took place this weekend in Tokyo. First, V6's Yoshihiko Inohara and actress Asaka Seto held their ceremony and reception in Tokyo's Shinagawa ward on Saturday. The press was shut out from the event, which was attended by about 100 relatives and friends. Among them were the other members of V6, as well as celebrities such as actor Masatoshi Nakamura and young actress Kie Kitano. Inohara and Seto have been officially married since September 29, 2007.

Then on Sunday, L'Arc~en~Ciel bassist tetsu and actress Ayana Sakai, who married near the end of last year, had their own wedding and reception at the Honey's Garden restaurant in Roppongi. Sakai wore a dress she designed herself for her wedding dress brand. Like Inohara and Seto, the couple made it a private affair, though the media was able to later report that tetsu and Sakai were in tears as they read aloud a letter to their parents. The attendees included actor Yu Shirota and model Rica Imai.

What is this “春日部のアイドル” (haru-hi-bu no idol)? xD
Was it dubbing by Koichi & Nakamaru themselves?

[bits] True Heart vs When did your heart stop loving me?

If that so..what's with the same theme When did your heart stop loving me? then?
Both lyric have different translation, though it meant the same.. (･_･?)

TOKIO's Yamaguchi marries

Sat, March 8, 2008 (3:06pm EST)

On Saturday, TOKIO kicked off their new tour with a concert at the Nippon Budokan. About an hour into the show, bassist Tatsuya Yamaguchi, 36, announced that he got married that morning.

His wife is a 31-year-old former model originally from Sendai. The two met in 1999 and have been dating for about 8 years. They started living together in 2004. The woman is now pregnant with their first child and is due to give birth this summer.

There are no plans yet for a ceremony.

Let's wait for many more wedding news from Johnny's (^o^)

Sonomama by SMAP :) How long since last time I've seen their performance? xD
What's with Johnny's Jr. here? Who are they now?

a lesson & Johnny's Jimusho

Ok, it's Koda Kumi this time. I'm a bit surprised of what happened but I agree that it's not supposed to say it by a public figure. The reaction was so big. Compared to Erika Sawajiri, this one is more serious matter. I can't imagine how this will influence her career. There's another news this morning on public reactions to Koda Kumi's apology on an exclusive interview on Fuji TV's "FNN Super News" (Tokyograph). She's not forgiven yet.
Whether a public figure or not, we should really think about what we're saying. Yes, I also need to be more calm and think twice & wise.

**

Recently, I've been download two shows where Matchy and The Question? appeared. Hahaa.. I'd like to know more about other Johnny's and especially Matchy-san. It's really interesting that he's (and Toshihiko both from The Tanokin Trio with Motoki Masahiro) each was the first solo artist from Johnny's.
Since I watch Countdown 2007-2008, I hunt for previous Countdowns. At Countdown 2003-2004, there's some quests; Higashiyama Noriyuki (Shounentai), Sato Atsuhiro (Hikaru Genji), Akasaka Akira (Hikaru Genji), and Okamoto Kenichi (Otokogumi) whom also a father of Okamoto Keito (Hey! Say! JUMP).

Well, I noticed one thing. Johnny's looks. I see that some recent Johnny's resemble their senpai a lot. For example;
- Ikuta Toma - Akasaka Akira. I won't suprised if they were told sibling xD


- Shibutani Subaru - Sato Atsuhiro. I won't surprised if they were told sibling xD. You should see how they both looks when screaming.


- Matsumoto Jun - Higashiyama Noriyuki.
- Nagano Hiroshi - Inagaki Goro
- Kimura Takuya/Tomoya Nagase - Masahiko Kondo. Well, not similar in the looks, but more in their style --> I meant at the same long hair they had before.

It's a bit suprising because when I saw old picture of Hikaru Genji, no one looks handsome, but look at Atsuhiro and Akira now =D
hmm.. it's sort of like typical for Johnny's favorite looks? :P
Whoah it's was fun watching Countdown. Now, I have to rush up to meet with others >>
Have a nice weekend~!
