Some SMAP news

Katori Shingo will be doing more than just playing the character Kankichi Ryotsu in the upcoming Kochikame drama. He will also be lending a had to the police in Japan by appearing in posters and making public appearences as the character in a summer campaign to help prevent traffic accidents involving children.

I don't think V6 is going to pass 100k for the first week.
x->1->1->1->1 - V6 - 27,063 + 19,173 + 6,824 + 4,266 = 57,326

i hope his new drama won't get cancelled or postponed because of this. i actually plan to watch it, lol.

poor Tsuyoshi

just when things can't get even more worst for him , this has to happen & I thought that infamous scandal of him has more or less died down

apparently not

===

Wendy has subbed this clip :

"Ousama no Brunch" (20 June, 2009) Tackey & Ryo begin filming "Orthros no Inu" - http://newshfan.livejournal.com/111817.html

is she crazy ? :irked this's Ryo Nishikido we're talking about !

I took this photo with my camera phone earlier on when I went out to have lunch with my younger sister :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...g/DSC01120.jpg

:D :D :D :D :D :D

I tell you , both of us were like groupies when we saw that big poster of Takuya Kimura being plastered on the bus stop billboard opposite of my house & we began snapping photos with our handphones on the way back home HAHA xD xD xD

there're also other bus stops's billboards that I saw that have that Gatsby poster of Takuya as not all of them have that

I'm so tempted to take a brick/stone & smashed the billboard to get the physical poster haha but this will do <3

I agree. Koichi is 80% Kinki Kids. Tsuyoshi is totally different genre.

Anyway I'd just listened to Spirit. Not bad.

Wendy has subbed 2 clips of V6 !

[2 clips] "HEY!x3" 15 June 2009 V6 talk + "Music Station" 12 June 2009 V6 talk & Spirit

http://newshfan.livejournal.com/112228.html

I'm going to watch both clips on my way to school

& isn't Takuya Kimura lovely , Eirynne ? *points to that bus stop / Gatsby poster of him that I took xD xD

LMAO. KimuTaku's gorgeous as always.

it's really too bad none of those advertisements are around my area.

aw I feel for you Eirynne & yes Takuya's always looking gorgeous :luv2

episode 4 of MR.BRAIN is already subbed via http://www.dramacrazy.net/japanese-drama/mr-brain/

It ended on a cliffhanger . I suspect something major has happened in episode 5 from the preview I have seen & frankly Gackt still takes the cake as the master mother of all villians :dead2

Sato Takeru did a great job portraying an anemesia pianist *nods* . I look forward to see him in episode 5 again

===

Wendy has subbed 2 more V6 clips :

"HEY!x3" 15 June 2009 V6 talk + "Music Station" 12 June 2009 V6 talk & Spirit

http://newshfan.livejournal.com/112228.html

Oh god I watched both clips earlier on in the morning on my way to school

HAHAHAHA at on how hentai the 1st part of the HEYx3 clip was

like eeew :dead2

For the V6 fans. Spirit sold 64,975 copies. Only 25 copies away from 65k.

i'm on keyhole right now, and TBS is airing tackey's drama "majo no jouken" :P sorry for the random post, lol.

not great but not bad

at least they still can sell decently at this point in time

I don't like watching dramas that aren't subbed. And besides that the connection always messes up for me. Like on Friday's when I watch MUSIC STATION it always runs slow, the quality becomes crappy, and then it just shuts off. IDEK why I still have it on my laptop. [/endrant]

lol i hardly use keyhole too, just only when i'm bored (but it dosen't freeze on my computer, actually). but with RAW dramas, i just watch it because i like watching it on the day it was aired (even though if i watch a drama on a friday night here, it's saturday in japan :laugh) i only do it for the dramas that i really like, though. but as much as i love the quiz show (for example), i couldn't watch it RAW because with the way the storyline was, i just had to watch it subbed to actually understand what was going on. otherwise, i'm completely lost. :P

[/end off topic-ness :P]

Anyone watch the Juniors perform truth?



Every time I watch it I can't help but lol.

^ lmao every time i see a clip from that show it makes me laugh. the way the audience behind them claps in unison makes me laugh for some reason...it's even funnier during ballads when they are all waving their arms <__<

damn it i was hoping for 100k in total :( it will probably end up selling 80k or so.

i loooooove "Majo no Jouken". great drama! :D it's so sad though. :(

that's too bad about V6. yeah, i think it will reach 80-85k in total.

I'm actually glad that I decided to watch MR.BRAIN after getting canjoled by my younger sister

she already saw episode 5 in raw format & she said it's even more up there on the creep factor @_@

& the actress who played the teacher in Gokusen 1/2/3 & eventually the movie , appears in the 2nd 1/2 of episode 5 & she plays someone who has 3 different spilt personalities :dead2

woah & I thought having 2 different spilt personalities is bad *points to self

NAKAMA YUKIE. :heart
i love her in the Trick series, but yeah, everyone knows her through Gokusen's Yankumi.

i still need to watch ep 4. @_@~

lol episode 4 of MR.BRAIN is already subbed via http://www.dramacrazy.net/japanese-d...ain-episode-4/

Episode 5 is basically spilt up into 2 parts according to my younger sister whom has already watched the raw

she said that in the 1st part , it's continued from where episode 4 stopped & then the 2nd half , it's a new case altogether

the previews for the 2nd 1/2 of episode 5 is :dead2

omg, i just watched EP 4.

O_O

is all i have to say. damn, it's intense. whoa. Nakama Yukie is kinda creepin me out.

see I told you it's scary & intense :dead2

you should be glad that you're not watching it at night man

*points to poor self whom watched episode 2 & 4 at night & as a result , didn't had good sleep & had to endure nightmares @_@

erm was this mentioned before , theme song wise

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Karei_naru_Spy

eeee yes TOKIO's said to be providing the theme song for Nagase's new drama *_____*

about time man dammit T_T

OMFG FINALLY. WHOO!!

i can't wait~!:D

ugh I know Eirynne , seems like forever before TOKIO's back with a new single ;___; but at least they're more or less sorta :laugh

monthly the television , tv pia & tv guide mag scans of Ryo & Tackey in line of promo of their new drama Orthros no Inu - http://jesychan.livejournal.com/20664.html

eee both guys are looking good <3

Oricon : men with beautiful skin

With demand for men's cosmetics and salons increasing, people are becoming more conscious of male beauty. As a result, Oricon surveyed 500 males ranging from their teens to their forties, creating a "men with beautiful skin" ranking. Teppei Koike was ranked first with his white, smooth skin and envious looks. Actor and musician Masaharu Fukuyama followed Koike at second while Gackt took third place in the rankings.

1. Teppei Koike
2. Masaharu Fukuyama
3. Gackt
4. Takuya Kimura
5. Hiro Mizushima
6. Eiji Wentz
7. Haruma Miura
8. Hiroshi Tamaki
9. Tomohisa Yamashita
10. Hideaki Takizawa

Tackey x Ryo in Orthros no Inu via TV Pia -- http://community.livejournal.com/aka...rop/48118.html

looking good guys & Nagase's on there too <3

OMG at Sato's photos @_@

I took these photos of Takuya Kimura earlier on when I was at Watsons using my camera phone - http://img20.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=dsc01122m.jpg

:smitten

I'm sad that the poster of him which I posted a while back ago which was used in the bus stop billboard opposite of my house , it's gone & replaced by someone else T_T

according to this orthrosnoinu post @ LJ, Takizawa Hideaki will be singing the theme song to the drama "Orthros no Inu". he announced it at his solo tour concert at the June 28th date. ORIGINAL POST + FANAUDIO RECORD OF SONG

the title is supposedly "Medusa no Kagami" (Medusa's Mirror), but i'll post official news when available. :D

ouuu, eerie title! i haven't checked the song out yet, but i hope it's good!

EDIT;; here's a setlist from his solo concert & a MC translation: APPARENTLY KAME RANGER WAS PRESENT. awww, omg, they mentioned Jin. omg, Junior!Akame was always the best. :(

i never listened to tackey, so...i dunno what to expect, lol. just let it be good :P

Tackey isn't the best singer and i think his style is much more similar to Domoto Koichi, but not that much, lol. but i think he's a good singer/songwriter by himself. Tsubasa's always been the more talented one, musically & dance-wise, IMHO. BB, U BETTER RELEASE SOLO STUFF TOO.

here's some of my favorites:
Takizawa Hideaki - Ki-se-ki
Takizawa Hideaki - Ai Kakumei

just don't mind him crying & going gay for Tsubasa in "Ki-se-ki". :lmfao

his solo works & his works with Tackey & Tsubasa are solid , Lisa

if you need recommendations , just ask either me or Eirynne on that <3

anyway Eirynne , on the news that Tackey's providing the theme song for Orthros no Inu , might Medusa no Kagami be his 3rd solo single ? :shrug

cos I want new T&T material now omg :weep

most likely. or a promo song for his solo album? (i'm assuming he's going to release one!) but i think JE will most likely release a single for this, since as we all know, JE profits off singles.

i don't mind no T&T stuff, but i want Tsubasaaaaa to be releasing stuff too, DAMN IT. :weep cuz i've always thought T&T their personal debut group project (since they love each other & all that jazz~), but they've always done solo projects outside T&T.

oh I don't mind a solo Tackey album at all :yes . I generally like his solo tunes from Ai Kakumei til now (despite the somewhat cheesy lyrics of Ai Kakumei)

ugh yeah I know , poor Tsubasa , where's the love for him ? T_T

I think he's focusing more on his dancing & other 'projects' , whatever they're ?

I can't believe it has been a year + since Koi Uta / PROGRESS was released o_O

episode 5 of MR.BRAIN is subbed already & the 6th episode is up , raw format wise

http://www.dramacrazy.net/japanese-d...ain-episode-5/

I'm going to watch it at night after I'm done with TV & some schoolwork

thanks for the recommendations. i'll try a bit of tackey's music out :P i still hope he does good for orthros no inu!

:laugh

imo between Ai Kakumei & Sha La La / Mugen no Hane , I like his newest one a bit more

Sha La La reminded me of BREAKERZ's Bambino on 1st listen & Tackey composed/wrote both Ai Kakumei & Mugen no Hane

Mugen no Hane features the vocals of 4 Johnny's Jr. members in the form of A.B.C-Z's Kawai Fumito and Totsuka Shota of + Kis-My-Ft2 Kitayama Hiromitsu and Fujigaya Taisuke .

new SMAP single out August 26th!
http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/-/Information/A002763.html

about time, damn! glad to see the sempais finally getting some attention. :P

「そっと きゅっと」= Sotto Kyutto, i believe.

& it's going to be the theme song to "Ninkyo Helper" j-drama with Kusanagi Tsuyoshi. :)

YAY

CDJapan listed it too somemore & yes you got that right Eirynne :yes

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VICL-37333

Sotto Kyutto - Chivalrous helper

LOL , I think it's quite fitting , title wise but why they must go heads on against abingdon boys school's Kimi no Uta on that day ? ;____;

some TOKIO updates

They will be having a 2009 tour in late September and early October. They're only scheduled for three cities, Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya

Source - http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...sta.html#tokio

great to see the senpais's being real active :yes

I don't know where you got the translation from, it's probably the translation of the drama title, but "Sotto kyutto" would be "Gently, tightly", as in embracing someone. ^^

I got the translation of Sotto Kyutto from Google

Wendy has subbed this clip of Tsubasa aka [Osama no Brunch] 20 June, 2009 - Tsubasa in Chanel play (OMG finally an update of him ;___; ) - http://newshfan.livejournal.com/114393.html

sheesh , is he really 30 ? :O

Tsubasa's releasing his solo con DVD! details here: http://baka-tatsuki.livejournal.com/10712.html

i usually don't care for DVDs (...that don't have the words KAT-TUN...or maybe KANJANI8 attached to it. :P) but the interesting thing is...there is a CD being released with it. man, i'm so glad T&T is attached to avex, so i get overseas options if i need it. hehe. :D

I"m so happy for Tsubasa :D

but wow, Baru-chan & Tsubasa? how awesome!

oh yes you're right on that , sorry Eirynne :dead2

leftovers from last night's dinner ? T_T

^
^ oh yes episode 6 of Mr. Brain was intense. Spoilering just in case someone hasn't seen it yet

that coming century cover is interesting...hope the other one is out soon.

OMG FOODZ. it's making me hungry. LOL. it's different though, i don't think i've seen a JE cover like that.

damnit. i still need to watch MR.BRAIN.

yeah I really thought that was the case but I'm surprised . In fact I was for the other cases in MR.BRAIN in that they proved that you don't look at everything black & white as it's


that's the only one I saw being uploaded on CDJapan . Hopefully the rest will be up soon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH0e-...layer_embedded

lol sorry I seriously don't & can't see Koichi as a lover at all :no :no . He has the same wavelength as Yusuke , ARASHI's Aiba xD xD

aww, aiba could be more of a best buddy kind of lover! :yes but yea, no such thing as that, huh? :laugh

anyway, to be somewhat on topic, on thursday i watched ninkyo helper and at the end was SMAP's new song. i kinda...lowered the volume so i don't remember how it sounds, LOL. but it sounded cute. i never listened to SMAP before, so i really dunno. :P

haha I think it's possible , Lisa

I'm quite sure Aiba's fun to be with but Koichi's just like a wooden block . I mean , when he's at home , he doesn't watch TV & would stare at the 4 walls T_T

oh that will be SMAP's new single , Lisa . It's called Sotto Kyutto

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Ninkyo_Helper

& wow , the 1st episode ratings are high , 17.5% :O . Looks like the infamous scandal that befall on Kusanagi didn't hurted the ratings

yup. but that was the timeslot that had last friends, and it's generally the most popular timeslot on fuji TV, so..yup. good stuff! :yes

Nagase in the Aug issue of with magazine - http://strawberry-gemm.livejournal.c...23.html#cutid1

T_T T_T T_T

WHAT , BREAKERZ's at #10 ?!?! ;____;

I hope it's not true man because Hikari has such a strong tie in with Detective Conan so crossing fingers it's NOT true

& hey where's Suga Shikao's Party People T_T T_T T_T

I don't know if I want to listen to NYC though , I'm kinda a bit too old for this lmao :lmfao

That NINKI isn't real. Someone on JPM made it.

中山優馬　ｗ／Ｂ．Ｉ．Ｓｈａｄｏｗ，ＮＹＣ　ｂｏｙｓ debuted at #1 with 62,986 - http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

^Of course they got #1. The song is amazing, they have made a fan out of me. OMG, I'm a pedophile. :(

I watch Yuma's drama last night and it was AWESOME. He's a vampire looking for his fated woman and it just happens to be his teacher. I.AM.SO.HOOKED!

tbh, I thought Ko-whatever they're name is was going to get #1.

I think the person was being sarcastic, cause I found the same ninki ranking on 2ch lol and no one else posted the "correct" one.

60k debut is still quite good so congrats to them :yes

^Oricon never updated the NINKI ratings.

wtf that is so weird...i don't remember oricon not updating ninki this late :shakehead


also the other 2 coming century album covers

damn you Miyake Ken , why are you so hot O_O

he's 30 but he looked like he's in his early 20's

OUUU THX FOR THE SHORT VER. KISEKI89. :D

haha. i like the cover over the foodz one. :) i think i'll give the mini-album a listen.

i don't think that's a...great number for the new debut kids (i even forgot about it, LOL.) but we'll see if they can hold up for the week because JE debuts are usually the biggest of a group's career. (...unless ur like. SMAP/Arashi.)

中山優馬　ｗ／Ｂ．Ｉ．Ｓｈａｄｏｗ，ＮＹＣ　ｂｏｙｓ

x->1->1 -- 62,986 + 44,879 = 107,865

probably about 200K+ in the 1st week ? :shrug

since both CD + DVD's of their single's already outta print on CDJapan

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

Maybe they'll sell 200k.

Can't wait to see them on MS, tomorrow.

The 中山優馬　ｗ／Ｂ．Ｉ．Ｓｈａｄｏｗ，ＮＹＣ　ｂｏｙｓ single hasn't leaked out yet

I wonder if I should go & download it when it's up ? Hmm

中山優馬　ｗ／Ｂ．Ｉ．Ｓｈａｄｏｗ，ＮＹＣ　ｂｏｙｓ

x->1->1->1 -- 62,986 + 44,879 + 22,215 = 130,080

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

is the single up for download somewhere? LOL. i have a strange curiosity to listen to it.

i think it will sell like 160-175k first week? and maybe 200k overall. but maybe a bit more since it has a j-drama tie-in.

the funny thing's Eirynne , I haven't seen it being uploaded on LJ at all

not even on here which's no surprises since probably people can't care that much for the latest Johnny's group that debuted :laugh

looks like it cannot crack 200K in the 1st week

more like 160K & above

I'm addicted to Kinki Kids' Jounetsu!!! :heart And I'm 100% sure I heard that melody before, I just don't know where.

^ "Jounetsu" is a KinKi Kids masterpiece, if i say so myself. i love it! :D

yeah...i found the DVDs of the single....but not the...actual single. LMAO. i don't think there's much hype for them this time around. :(

i think JE's losing it's edge when it's coming to new groups. i mean, i like H!S!J & they have tons of room to grow, but they're NOT putting effort into them! & all these new-school groups don't have what the previous groups have.

i think it will be a while before another "KAT-TUN" debut will come around (well, another "big" debut. KT's debut was one of a kind.)

unfortunately but true . It's a pity for poor HSJ , it's like they're being put in cold storage right now & then this B.I Shadow/NYC Boys suddenly came & overtake their place

the newer groups don't have like certain traits that make them stand out from the masses be it when comes to personality or music

it's even more sucky that groups that're long to get debuted haven't debuted at all *points to A.B.C.Z , Kis-My-Ft2 , QUESTION ? , FiVe :(

YES finale of MR.BRAIN HAS BEEN SUBBED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mother jesus it's HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. 1.55 GB? :dead2 BRB DELETING EVERYTHING OFF MY HARDDRIVE, LOL.

& an interesting Orthros no Inu TV NAVI interview thingy i need to DL : http://nomanymore.livejournal.com/117083.html

i plan to download the orthros no inu NAVI, too! only 4 more days! :D i'm really anxious to hear tackey's song, though.

I can't believe it will be 3 more days before the drama starts airing in Japan *____*

I hope Tackey's new song will be something good & hey I just saw Sha La La yesterday on MTV Asia <3

if you watch the NAVI TV thingy, they preview "Hikari Hitotsu" (Hikari in Katakana, Hitotsu in Hiragana) at the end! :) OMFG I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE J-DRAMA. LOOKS GOOOOOOD. Oshinari Shugo!

it's quite up-tempo, but like...dark up-tempo? LOL. idk how to explain it.

oh really ? That's great I will keep an eye on it :yes

At least from what you said , it will not be another Sha la la :laugh

i was actually pretty surprised. i thought it would be "darker", but we'll see when the full thing's out. :D

omg yay, my "Karei naru Spy" is finally done downloading! :laugh GONNA WATCH IT NOW I'M SO EXCITED. 8D

i think i should download the NAVI now, too. (prays for enough disk space :weep)

hmm...is tackey's song like "truth" in a way? :laugh

edit: who wants some trailers meanwhile?

LOL have fun watching it Eirynne & bring on the laughter , Nagase :P

lol that's what I assumed initally but er I think it's a no ? :shrug T_T

i had to transfer all my MR.BRAINs to my external harddrive. LMAO.

hmmm...somewhat like "truth"...but i wouldn't like...fully compare it to that. if you hear Tackey's solo work, it's like a darker version of his solo work. O_O

yeah, idk. :lmfao

I'm still a bit depressed that MR.BRAIN's so short :weep

I wish it was longer but hey , at least Takuya Kimura did an amazing job in the drama :cool

Nakayama Yuma w/ B.I. Shadow got number one weekly with 176k and they are the youngest group to have a number one single beating Morning Museum.
