Duh, thanks Karen.

anyone interested to download Yuma Nakayama w/B.I. Shadow , NYC boys - Akuma na Koi / NYC single ? :P

you can do so via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2031038

I thought it might be something cheesy & kiddy sounding but I'm surprised that Akuma na Koi's pretty mature sounding despite their age

Wendy has subbed this clip with regs to promo for Orthros no Inu (yay 2 more days :luv2)

"Ousama no Brunch" (18 July, 2009) Tackey, Ryo & Hikaru interview

http://newshfan.livejournal.com/120023.html

Thanks for the single and the clip Karen. I can't wait to watch the raw on Keyhole when it airs,

no problem Mishelle

I thought I might dislike the Akuma no Koi / NYC single but I kinda liked it LMAO

I'm thinking of ordering the single (assuming if HMV doesn't have it locally) but I have to think about it :laugh

^Yeah, it's not bad once you give it a try and forget about their age and just focus on the music.

Akuma no Koi - Yuma Nakayama w/ B.I. Shadow



Sky High - NYC boys

thanks Mishelle

I'm still pondering if I want to buy the single as the whole thing's growing on me even though I find Dial Up a bit annoying

somemore CDJapan still has the 1st press of the CD only single & I haven't heard I can catch the moon yet T_T

some news about SMAP's Kusanagi

Kusanagi Tsuyoshi to return as PR ambassador

Kusanagi Tsuyoshi overcomes his indecent act and will return as a PR ambassador for a new broadcasting campaign.

35 year-old SMAP band member Kusanagi Tsuyoshi was recently in the news for his indecent public act. Strongly valued by various Japanese broadcasting stations, Kusanagi will be making his return as a PR ambassador for the government's campaign on the shift from analog to digital terrestrial TV broadcasting. However, he will not be paid for his campaigning activities over the next two years.

On July 2006, various major Japanese television broadcasters enlisted the services of Kusanagi, a popular public figure with a clean image, to take on the role of a campaign promoter.

Sources said that although Kusanagi's contract with these broadcasters expired last month, his good performance and activities in the entertainment circle have been impressive. Coupled with the actor's desire to take on the role of PR ambassador for free, broadcasters decided to overlook his recent scandal and inked a new two-year contract with him.

The singer recently made headlines in April when he was found naked in a public park under the influence of alcohol. A group of executives that comprised of local government officials, broadcasters, and electronic makers rebuked him for being a "low-class person doing an unforgivable act," and even requested for Kusanagi to be revoked of his ambassador role.

Things have been running smoothly for Kusanagi as he resumed work for his various entertainment projects after a month-long break. His hardworking and humble demeanor, coupled with his outstanding performance as a PR ambassador put him back in the good books of the broadcasting association as they decided to continue their contract with him.

ZOMG! Orthros no Inu Subbed!

http://community.livejournal.com/archiveflux/1767.html

woo hoo !

but I'm too lazy to view it , I wait for Drama Crazy to stream it :P

according to what I know , the 1st episode , the rating's was only 11.4% in the Kanto region

ick I was expecting a higher no. :(

11.4% IS A TRAVESTY. :grumpy

it was pretty good, imo. very original storyline. :D now...i just need to view with subs, lol.

I'm foreseeing that Orthros no Inu will be heading in the same direction as Maou (love love love the drama :heart) , ratings wise

since both dramas are dark & etc , maybe that kinda hurt the ratings to a certain extent :shrug

KinKi Kids updates

1) Kinki Kids is having a new CM for music.jp and will be broadcasted on Aug 1st

http://www.mti.co.jp/?p=1397

2) Koichi's new single Ayakashi can be downloaded via http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2041257

dammit I'm really addicted to Ayakashi now :luv2 & the local HMV has stock for the regular & the 1st press editions of his single :D

I definitely be picking up the 1st press CD only tomorrow or Fri since it cost cheaper than the regular (S$20.95 vs S$28 o_O)

& Ayakashi debuted at #1 today with 64,948 copies - http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

I'm very surprised at how good Ayakashi's considering that I had really low expectations for it but dammit :P . I love Perfect World :smitten

A drama rumour on Tsubasa

http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/1947531.html

===

1st episode of Orthros no Inu has been subbed & uploaded on Drama Crazy - http://www.dramacrazy.net/japanese-d...inu-episode-1/

I just watched it earlier on & it's ace :heart . It's hard to believe that Ryo did things that he will not do in real life & that goes for Tackey too :O

Oshinari Shugo is hot :laugh & for once I'm glad he's not playing a punk & I still find it hard to accept that he's playing the good guy this time round (I think & doesn't help he has a chao ah beng face that you want to punch LOL :laugh) but man , HSJ's Hikaru's o_O & he has grown up & changed a LOT man

but it's a really solid start for episode 1 :yes

x->1 - Coming Century - 28,161 = 28,161
x->2 - ACIDMAN - 5,839 = 5,839
x->3 - Imawano Kiyoshirou - 4,909 = 4,909

:D

I still need to try this album

I really like tegomass matsuri song! Too bad I can't stand watching them in the video. ^_^ First johnny's song I've liked since OH!ENKA. :D

lol & their hairdo's in the PV is not helping matters either -_-'''

Ok it's official I'm obsessed with Koichi's Ayakashi now LMAO :lmfao . I can't wait to get the regular & 1st press editions of the single later today or tomorrow at HMV :P

I will get the CD + DVD edition from Cliff when it will be released in Taiwan on 14th next month :heart

^Be sure to scan them Karen.`

DoKo's "妖 ～あやかし～" single is awesome. i love it! :heart i love "Peaceful World".

it reminds me of his solo song "世界中のみんなで…。" off KinKi Kids' "G Album". eerily similar, actually. o_o

really Eirynne ? o_O

I should check out 世界中のみんなで… then & I find it a bit silly that Perfect World's included in the normal & NOT the 1st press edition of the single

the 1st press CD only of his single contains the instrumental of Ayakashi which I find it so lame imo

anyway I can't wait to scan up both editions of Ayakashi later on when I get them :P

Perfect World's :smitten

I can tell from Koichi & Tsuyoshi in that their solo material are so different

Koichi's the more out there & the performer performer type of person while Tsuyoshi's more serious in his craft , with the whole stripped down approach towards his solo stuff as evident in Sora ....

none of my parcels came today :weep but at least I have these to console me which I got them earlier on at HMV Heeren

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...n/IMG_1742.jpg

I got both the regular (left) & the 1st press (right) copies of Koichi's Ayakashi & ironically the 1st press's going for S$20.95 as compared to the regular which was on sale at S$28

but the 1st press of his amazing awesome single came with this Koichi's Photo of Attractive Nature photo :

seriously The Prince never looks so good/fly in here & here're the scans for both editions of Ayakashi including that oh so cute photo of him :smitten - http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1905045

Ayakashi's getting a Taiwan press release on 14th Aug & I'm going to get the CD + DVD from my friend Cliff when the time comes haha xD

single credits of Ayakashi

Composed - Ayakashi , Awaken Yourself & Falling -2009-

Perfect World -2009- is the only 1 in the single where Koichi wrote & composed . Wow that's so neat

I hope there isn't a major drop in his sales like his other singles.

Koichi looks so hot. And I love that he included the dog.

Be sure to scan that one too. ;)
I figured he composed all the tracks on the single seeing how he composes every single/album he released. I never would have guessed he wrote Perfect World -2009, because he rarely writes his songs.

Thanks for the scans Karen. Wow, this is one long post.

I want to be that doggie~

Orthros no Inu was really good. I can't believe that kid from HSJ was playing a drug dealer, he did a good job. The subbed one I saw had no preview of episode 2, can't wait D:

that kid from HSJ's called Hikaru & he's the clown of the group

that's why I'm shocked that he's playing a punk in the show , just like what happened to Yabu in Ninkyo Helper

damn

usually the 1st day sales for Johnny's releases is pretty decent/big & then it will nosedive in days to come

& yes of course , I will scan the CD + DVD up in due time when I get it from Cliff :yes & he looks so cute with that dog :luv2

it's nice that he has some personal input in Ayakashi , just like what Tsuyoshi did for his most recent solo material which's always a good thing

that's exactly how i would compare the two. :yes Tsuyoshi's more experimental in his solo endevours too.

if you enjoyed "Ayakashi" single so much, i think you should try out his solo album "mirror"! :D

yay for 100k! :)

^I downloaded mirror the other day. It's such a good album. I love all the tracks.

if that's the case then I will download/listen to mirror after I'm done with finals in like what 3 weeks's time :laugh

Ayakashi's awesome period , been having it on repeat mode for the last 2 days :heart

yes, i highly recommend it. it's a very solid album, imo. i love "下弦の月 (Kagen no Tsuki)".
maybe when you DL that album & finish finals, you can watch Nobuta too. :P

& another Koichi solo i love is "月夜ノ物語 (Tsukiyo no Monogatari)". it's on KinKi's "F Album".

LOL :laugh

I downloaded mirror earlier on . I listened til SNAKE (LOL xD) & it's nice . Really cool & liking what I have heard :yes

I definitely will blog about mirror via my music blog in due time & that goes for Ayakashi too :luv2

Koichi will be performing Ayakashi later tonight at MUSIC STATION :smitten

so can't wait to see it , he was so fly & ace when he performed it with Deep in your Heart at last Tue's Shounen Club Premium <3

it will set me for S$70 ;_______; :dead2 :weep but I guess it will be worth it seeing that I'm really liking what I have heard of mirror

Spica & Kagen no Tsuki are :smitten

omg, i totally didn't know Kuroki Meisa was in one of Koichi's "SHOCK" musicals (don't confuse it with her song "SHOCK -運命-" LOL). that's so cool! :D

& can't wait for Tsuba's MS perf. :P

oh wow really ? o_O

what kinda role she played in Koichi's musical ? :shrug

i think she was the lead female character. if you see the Japanese wiki of "SHOCK", she was in the 2005 version of "Endless SHOCK" : http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endless_SHOCK

i haven't personally watched a "SHOCK" performance, so i don't know the stageshow that well.

LOLOMG @ the KinKi Kids new CM. :laugh i was hoping for a new song affiliated with the CM though. :3 OH WELL.

:lmfao at the KinKi Kids CM still :laugh

translation of the CM

Tsuyoshi: (dot rolling along and singing) Do do doh! Do do do do doh!
Koichi: Are you Tsuyoshi?
Tsuyoshi: This voice...are you Koichi?

(Both "come out" from the blue dots)

Koichi: What are you doing?
Tsuyoshi: I am now the dot in "music.jp" (Tsuyoshi dot bounces)
Koichi: Yeah?! I'm the dot on the "j" of "jp" (Koichi dot bounces too)
Tsuyoshi: Then, you are the representative of Japan?!
Koichi: But you are the king of dot, aren't you?
Tsuyoshi: How did you end up talking about king? (Tsuyoshi says with embarassed laugh and shrinks back into his dot)

Narrator: KinKi Kids' limited ringtone available for download.

Thanks for the sales update Karen. Hopefully it'll pass 200k by next week.

Koichikame got 12.2% for the first episode. i thought that shingo guy was popular? :shrug

I don't know how are the ratings like for Shingo's past dramas so I cannot comment on that :shrug

I do know that he crack me & my younger sister up SUPER BIG TIME as Daiba Mama HAHA xD :lmfao

He was on MUSIC STATION & he was clowing around with Koichi & said that he's Tsuyoshi

Koichi was sporting & both guys introduced themselves as KinKi Kids XD

aww really? :(
12.2% is not by means horrible, but i think with the SMAP name, you would expect something at least near 15%. and the other castmates are somewhat popular too, like Mocomichi Hayami & Karina.

i watched Shingo's previous full drama, "薔薇のない花屋 (Bara no nai Hanaya)" and it averaged 18.6%. i definitely recommend the drama though. it's so heart-breaking. :weep cleverly written too.

^Yeah, that drama is good. And I kinda doubt people can predictic how the plot's going to continue based on the first episode. I liked that twist.

But didn't "Konkatsu" don't do that well, either?

The overall rating for Konkatsu ! was 10.4%

for me the drama's cool but I'm sore that Ueda's screentime's so limited :grumpy

he should have gotten more screentime instead of Nakai hogging the limelight like totally

then again I digress xD

3. Rain (Instrumental)

Normal Edition Tracklist:
1. Sunday Morning
2. Ongaku wo Owaraseyo
3. Funk-SeOssion

credits to: domotokyoudai @ LJ

i'm kinda confused. so....he's releasing under his name "Domoto Tsuyoshi" now? and there's no song named "Rain", only an instrumental. LOL.

^ CDJapan emailed me on that Eirynne

& yes it's credited under his full name now , unlike Sora ~ Utsukushi Ware no Sora which's just Tsuyoshi

this's his 3rd single to be released under his full name , after Machi & WAVER

I also find it funny that there's no song title with the name Rain in the single lol

& just like Koichi's Ayakashi , it's odd that they put the Rain instrumental in the LE instead of the RE o_O

oh well I can't wait for this to be released :D even though this means there will not be any new releases by Kinki Kids anytime now T_T since The Prince will start his 1st solo tour in 3 years next Sat

dammit I really cannot wait to hear Hikari Hitotsu in full :heart

^Geez, why so far away. When does ONI stop airing?

NVM, the single will be released two days before the final airing of Orthros no Inu. Well, that's according to my research.

Koichi's weekly sale.

１位　151,093　堂本光一

awesome! i love tackey's song when i heard it last night. but WHY september 23rd :weep knowing JE, the PV will probbably be the week before :grumpy

^I don't think JE plays a role in the release of the PV. I mean he is signed to Avex as a group and a solo artist. But IDK.

oops, i totally forgot that! :tipsy maybe they'll release the PV early, then.

i think this is the tracklist of "Hikari Hitotsu" (i got it off LJ, but she didn't list a source):

01. ヒカリひとつ (Hikari Hitotsu)
02. 悪い男 (Warui Otoko)
03. 愛の戦士TAKIレンジャー (Ai no Senshi Tackey Ranger)

i think this is the Normal Edition tracklist b/c it lists "愛の戦士TAKIレンジャー". :P

ai no senshi tackey ranger? :laugh someone likes kanjani8, haha.

LMFAO. but you see, Tackey is a Love Soldier Ranger. it reminds me of Sailor Moon. :tipsy

the Eito Rangers remind me of Power Rangers. :laugh

thanks for the sales update of The Prince's single , Mishelle

yeah it's the normal edition tracklist (if it's confirmed) because CDJapan mentioned Ai no Senshi Tackey Ranger will only be available in the CD only edition of the single

his solo B-sides are crazy I have to say xD

That was the first thing I thought about. ^^;

#1 with 53,852 copies sold

why is it that the duos are doing the single stuffs?
Anyway reason to why Tsuyoshi is releasing under his name instead of 刚紫?

cos they feel like doing it ? I don't know ...

Wendy subbed Koichi in Mon's HEYx3 - http://newshfan.livejournal.com/123274.html

:roflmao at what she wrote in the highlights portion & the part where Johnny-san said pan pan & then bread bread xD xD xD

OK , he bought a new pet Chihuahua & its (her) name is called Pan (bread)

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :smitten

Pan's with him here :

so cute :luv2 & you can find Pan in the CD sleeves of Ayakashi too

I need to check the CD sleeves later on when I get back home

so i just watched the PVs for tackey's past 2 singles. i don't really like ai kakumei too much, but i LOVE sha la la/mugen no hane. especially the PV for sha la la. tackey's so cute! :P i might just follow his music after hikari wo hitotsu, but i'm not sure. but i love his voice, haha. if anyone wants to see the OP for orthros: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38QF9mxWyD8

i just looove this drama :tipsy

Ai Kakumei's nice , if not for the cheesy "I love you shake" part :dead2

Tackey wrote & composed Ai Kakumei & that goes for Mugen no Hane

he didn't do for both aspects with regards to Sha la la but if you ask me between his 1st 2 singles , I prefer his 2nd single more

anyway YAY episode 2 of Orthros no Inu is up & running for streaming via http://www.dramacrazy.net/v/japanese...rthros-no-inu/

nice to know that he has a lot of personal input in his upcoming new single , I can't wait to hear it for sure :yes

^Having a JE-ish cover wouldn't suit Tsuyoshi. lol I might prefer the NE, though. It's quite cool how the hands form "RAIN".

oh really ? o_O

I didn't know the hands in the RE cover form the word , Rain

that's really artistic & unique

those covers are cool! i like 'em. ;)

I FOUND TAKKI RANGER, U GUYS. :laugh
& i think he said he wanted to do a collab with K8's Eito Rangers. OMG THAT WOULD BE EPIC.

i kinda forgot how amazing Tackey was. hahaha.

^ omg at the pic :roflmao :roflmao

if you realise in his 1st 2 solo singles , the B-sides are whack yo :laugh

guess he's keeping this 'unofficial' tradition in Hikari Hitotsu once more lmao

ROFL i think i officially love tackey. isn't his smile just...:smitten!

well, the NE's gonna have the Tackey Ranger theme song.

....i could only imagine what that will sound like. o_o

I can't imagine at all seriously

for me it's nice that his A-side material are quite mature/serious sounding but when comes to the B-sides , all hell will break loose haha

& isn't it great that Tackey Ranger's dressed in pink colour xD

omg I suddenly remembered that I LOVE Mighty Morphin Power Rangers's Kimberely now :O T_T

a blast from my past just flashed in my mind :lmfao

this sure will make Eirynne happy

Karei naru Spy's FINALLY subbed , well episode 1 lah that's - http://www.dramacrazy.net/v/japanese...arei-naru-spy/

I got The Prince's mirror album earlier on at HMV :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...n/IMG_1836.jpg

Tackey in the latest issue of TV Pia with Ryo alongside with Ryo solo shots of himself in Hanako - http://jesychan.livejournal.com/33512.html

@_@ at Ryo's Hanako shots more than the one he did with Tackey xD xD

I LOVE THOSE MAGAZINE SHOTS. :heart

esp those Ryo ones. & i love how fast ONI is getting subbed. LOL.

cute :P

^Yeah, it's cute. And fits the title.

i think i'm having a Tackey phase atm. :smitten
i've always liked him, but with Orthros no Inu, ASDFGHJKL;OMFG. :P



;)

i told you irene! tackey is just....too much for me right now, lol. love him! :luv2

and i love that scene in the car, too. gahh :thud

aww at the SMAP single cover , it's cute :yes & eh am I the only 1 who's not attracted to Tackey at all ? :innocent

I only find him OK for my liking . He doesn't get my attention just like much as the guy in my current avater/set :innocent & he's not even from Johnny's xD

YES.




LOL jk jk jk. but wow, really? i thought Tackey was one of the better looking Johnny's tbh. not to mention he has a wonderful personality & is very sweet to his kouhai. but i guess since he's not one of the constantly active Johnnys, not a lot of people get to know Tackey. or Tsubasa. or Tackey & Tsubasa. xD

he was the Golden Child of JE during his Junior years (think KAT-TUN during their Junior years, but possibly larger). but i do think JE screwed up big time transitioning him from Junior to Debut status though.

I have weird tastes in guys sometimes & I guess this shows :laugh

I do know what kinda legacy that Tackey has left from his Junior status all the way to now & it's great that KAT-TUN look up to him a lot & the existing current Junior bands too like A.B.C.Z , Kis-My-Ft-2 & many more & that he loves to take care of his juniors which's something I rarely see the other seniors doing as much as what Tackey had/has been doing

it's just that he stuck me as someone who can quite wooden just like The Prince , Koichi

somemore Tackey sucks at drawing super big time :roflmao

===
