OMG THX FOR TOKIO'S PERF. :heart

I <3 LIGHT IN YOUR HEART , I still haven't heard Swing ! yet not to mention seen the PV of it

*GASP* *GASP *GASP*
ARE THE KINKI KIDS SKIPPING CDL THIS YEAR?!

i was looking the their "KinKi you Concert" tour dates (Johnny's Net) and they play at Osaka Dome on New Year's Eve @ 10 PM. i don't think they could set-up a concert & go to Tokyo Dome in that short amount of time, right?

does this mean we won't get Nagase kissing Koichi on New Years? :weep

^awww~ unless they fly back by plane? if not, it would be
the first year where kinki kids skip countdown live? NOOOOO....




[EDITED]

Just saw the johnnys link irene-chan mentioned in her post.
There's a note below the box of their concert schedules.

If I'm not wrong, it says the concert on 12/31 would exceed 12am.
So perhaps they will do their own countdown event there. =(
Nooooo.... they're skipping Johnnys countdown this year!!!!

:(

& talking about the KK guys , Secret Code shot straight to no.1 at the MTV China Top5 J Chart last week :O

I was shocked when that was played last Fri night & not to mention stunned , they totally kick off Southern All Stars's I'm Your Singer from no.1 to no.4 :laugh

& speaking of the chart , I'm going to watch it later on :D

today's sales for V6:

x->1->1->1 - V6 - 22,361 + 10,466 + 4,344 (x1.75) = 65,049

isn't that really low for a johnny's group? :shrug

^ Yeah but they debuted in like 1995 so that is still pretty good considering how long they have been around for.

Ahh SMAP's ninki is so high :luv2

the other sempais better appear @ CDL then! OMG, it's gonna be lame less exciting without the Domoto Bros. :weep
maybe they'll do a VTR (Video Tape Recording? XD) from Osaka Dome, so they can countdown with the other Johnny's.

yeah, V6 has been around since forever, so it's natural to see their sales like that. TOKIO's sales have been lower too.

omg, SMAP's album's coming out! I WANT TO HEAR THE NAKATA YASUTAKA TRACK SO BAD. :heart

yeah & considering the fact that their works are produced by avex & not by JE/JStorm/JOne records

it's weird , they can't sell well just like Tackey & Tsubasa too :( but doesn't matter , LIGHT IN YOUR HEART / Swing ! is a good single :D

I watched the J Chart yesterday , TOKIO's Umbrella (don't know the Japanese word for Umbrella :dead2) shot straight to no.1 & kicked KinKi Kids's Secret Code from no.1 to no.4 :O

^"Amagasa". ^^ A little similar to "Aiaigasa"... =O
That song's really good. I usually don't listen to TOKIO, but "Amagasa" and that other long titled A-side (lol) are really good. ^^

ah ok thanks for that

my younger sister likes TOKIO , she said that Nagase's voice's really distinct & it's either you like/don't like his voice which I agree with her

anyway , I haven't seen the video for V6's Swing ! . Has anyone seen it yet ?

^I like Nagase's voice. It's quite different from his talking voice, isn't it? Higher and somewhat... clearer? lol

haha yes that's what my younger sister said about as well

is it true that he's very funny in real life ?

^You SHOULD watch him when he was on Domoto Kyoudai, if you haven't so far. It's ROFL throughout the whole episode! xD

You can download it here. (Look for the post of 28th March 2008.)

NEWS will be holding this yr's CDL, while KK will have their own in their con.

yeah, i knew NEWS was holding a con at Tokyo Dome on New Year's eve. but, CDL is at Tokyo Dome, so they...could just stay there. LOL.

but KinKi Kids' con caught me off guard.

oh JE. you making me angry at you and i don't want to be. :(

umm is the drama worth watching ? the plot sounds interesting

I really can't see Tsuyoshi as an actor :dead2

^He's good, in my opinion. Though I've only watched "Summer Snow" (SO SAD! T_T) and few episodes of "33pun". The series is so LMAO. xD You should try watching the first episode and if you'll like it, then you'll probably like the rest of it. It's pure hilarousness. x3

Karen you never watch Kindaichi!? Tsuyoshi acted in them and he's good.

33pun Tantei...wow. no words can describe, LMAO. :laugh
it's addicting though.

i haven't watched a lot of dramas w/ DoTs. i'm planning on watching Summer Snow. one of these days, haha.

& DoTs did the first 2 seasons of Kindaichi, i think. 3rd season was MatsuJun. and the SP was Kame. :D

no I didn't

in fact I'm not much of a jdrama person but my younger sister probably did watched it

ANAN MALE RANKINGS
A LOTTA SEXY OLD PEOPLE. :D

^it's always Kimura on the top! how many years already?

^The link posted by ll moments ll states it's the... 15th!!!!! O_o =O

The ranking should be posted in the Kanjani8 thread, too. There's Ryo and Tacchon up there...

Takki should be higher!

SMAP :luv2

============

Okay just listened to super.modern.artistic.performance and I love it! My favorite songs are Theme of 019 super.modern.artistic.performance, Jazz, Love Loser, Mermaid, and ココロパズルリズム (omg it's like a male Perfume..or Ami :luv2)

As for the solo songs, there wasn't one I didn't like all of them are so good. Shingo's and Tsuyoshi's(his song is so cute...) are my top two at the moment but the other three are all tied for third :heart This is probably my favorite JE album of the year..narrowly beating QOP! Had the solos been included on QOP then it might have been first..but wow my two favorite JE groups did not disappoint :heart

Oh and does anyone have the album cover in decent quality? I need something for itunes D:

guys you can download the latest SMAP album via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80340

KMC has it for 320 kbs..if anyone cares about that kind of stuff. That's where I got mine yesterday! Thanks for the link anyway Karen~ :yes

omg am I seriously the only one who listened to this album? It's so good :weep :weep

YAY I'M HAPPY YOU GUYS LIKE IT.


The solos were my favorite part, all of them are so gooood~ Ohh the booklet, vampires :heart

#7 Kobukuro

#8 SMAP

#9 NEWS

#10 TOKIO

wow at the senpai groups :O

http://community.livejournal.com/ara...09515#t5809515

NEWS?!
O RLY.

WTF, NO KANJANI8? ULTIMATE FAIL. :grumpy

but i agree with the sempai groups, GO GO SEMPAIS~

:roflmao

I know ditto the same as you Irene , I'm surprised NEWS's on the list cos I know they're not really that unified as a group & ya why no K8 as I heard that the guys by right are extremely close

but no KAT-TUN on the list = a big T_______T

^KAT-TUN seem cold at times. Like, the atmosphere around them is weird. I don't know how to explain it.

And, maybe some people thought "YamaPi~~~!!!!!!!!!! :heart *votes*"? xD

But those others totally deserve it. ^^ The interaction between DomoTsu and DomoKou is amazing. That makes "DomoKyou" so great to watch. =3

yayy kinki kidsssssssss!!!!! :heart

uh yeah, KT not on there = not surprising. LOL.
like Ueda said on SCP, they all hated each other back then. xD

but, they do have a tighter bond now and i really think they have a really good working atmosphere now. i definitely can tell they enjoy each other more NOW than even their debut period, haha.

i even think the bond between KT > NEWS right now. i used to think they were alike, but now, KT's winning the ~member-ai~ battle, i guess.

BUT KINKI KIDS, YESSSS.
if you let your duo-mate kiss you on the lips multiple times, i think that's a pretty darn good bond. LOL.

^yup I agree that KT have stronger bond than before.
They treasure every chance on their work with their members.

O_O

WHAT you mean they do that ?!

omg :O

Video clip: http://www.im.tv/VLOG/Personal/245373/5177997

erm is that Koichi at no.3 ? I think so

^ not Koichi, but Tsuyoshi. ;)

and uh, yeah. i read concert reports from earlier this year and Tsuyoshi has kissed Koichi on the lips multiple times. Nagase has also kissed Koichi, but only on the cheek during Johnny's CDL on New Years. xD

i even think there was a news clip on it.

oh that surprises me because I thought Koichi's the more fashionable one outta the KK , mm guess not

& :O at the fact that Tsuyoshi likes doing that eew

^Why? =O I think it's cute. =3

I think Tsuyoshi's on the list, because his fashion style is unique. He passes boundaries and sets new limits. (Though that sounds kind of exaggerated. xD) Just like Yasuda from Kanjani8.
And some of Tsuyoshi's hairstyles are love. ^.^

yup I agree that tsuyoshi has unique sense of fashion!!
He always comes out with all kinds of hairstyles. :heart

Guess that I'm a sucker for Koichi since he's so princey like & speaking of which our fellow senpai groups are featured in the latest mag scans of Popolo via http://je-ai.livejournal.com/2998.ht...w=31926#t31926

Pink's so Koichi's colour :smitten

i prefer Koichi too if i had to pick, but both of them are awesome in their own right. Tsuyoshi can pull anything off. a perm, rainbows, sparkles, anything! and DoTs is the better actor, LOL.

i don't think Koichi can pull a perm off. *is reminded of EP 1 of Sushi Oji!* :laugh

LOL

I frankly can't see Koichi pullling off a perm big time

I seen some of his previous hairstyles , some of them were horrible :dead2

his current hairstyle's perfect & shouldn't be tampered with

http://newshfan.livejournal.com/2008/10/30/

:roflmao

this really made my day big time & I didn't know that Sakamoto's a coward :P

omg at this - http://raidmyminibar.blogspot.com/2008/11/sqs-013.html

O__________O & oh I was just reading the 1st post of the thread , I didn't realise Tackey & Tsubasa are considered as a Sempai in JE :O

OMG those scans asjbfjwrnht2389rhdsnkjgnqwiofaskjgas :faint:faint:luv2

:roflmao

I'm surprised it's legal to be published in anan :innocent

:laugh

At first I thought the woman in those pics were his wife.


But wow I remember when Matsujun did that photoshoot with the nude model (I think Pi did a similar one too?) it seems they keep getting more ~riskay~ each time. Hopefully Kame or Ryo are the ones to do this type of photoshoot next :lech

haha

well MatsuJun & Yamapi did them respectively . If I'm right Yamapi did his this year in Feb while MatsuJun was last year

& LOL , next in line ? Ryo ? :innocent

cos I seriously can't see Kame doing that kinda photoshoot at all :dead2

Tackey & Tsubasa are senpai to everyone, who debuted afterwards and kouhai to those, who debuted before. Debuting makes one a senpai. Or at least I think that's the way it works. Among juniors usually the ones who got into JE earlier are the senpai. Sometimes that goes along with being older, but not always. Like Yamashita and Nishikido, who are younger than Koyama (though not by much), but because they entered the jimusho earlier than him, they're senpai to Koyama and everyone else in NEWS. Or like Tegoshi, who entered university before Nakamaru and therefore is his senpai, despite a 4 year difference in age. Also, being in the same "generation" of juniors could have something to do with it, too.

By the way, I like that pic of TOKIO in the first post. Is that a magazine shot? CD?

^ i think the TOKIO picture is from the "Hana Uta" single. i'm not too sure, since i found it on Google, haha.

...actually, i put T&T in the first post because i forgot there was a T&T thread. xD & yeah, i think T&T could be considered sempais as well, even though they debut after Arashi. Aga-chan posted a great explanation.

ah ok because it gets a bit confusing for me initally but after Aga's explaination , I understand where she's coming from now

& oh speaking of T&T , Tackey was at MUSIC STATION on fri - http://newshfan.livejournal.com/#asset-newshfan-65858

Ai Kakumei's pretty good with Tackey composing & writing the song but wtf's with the line "I love you , shake" ?

:roflmao

OMG at KimuTaku pics!!!!!
Those pics are even more risky than MatsuJun's and Pi's!
So his wife approves him for shooting all these?


If Kame ever takes that kind of pics, I'll faint!

:roflmao

I think outta the 3 , Yamapi's still up there to me

not sure if Kimuya's wife approved of the pics though :innocent

^Maybe next month we'll have this kind of photo shot by his wife? Sweet revenge..... =P

lol OK, thanks.

Really?! o_O I didn't know if I get everything right... Thanks. *^^*

I never thought about that T&T debuted after Arashi. Though it's logical. Arashi debuted in the 20th century, T&T in the coming.

Nagase Tomoya Unplugged - http://never-ending-music-power.blog...unplugged.html

wow this's really something , congrats Nagase

the only other JPop male artist I know who went to perform on MTV Unplugged was Ken Hirai which took place 5 years ago

ouuu that's interesting!

i love Nagase, so i hope it gets uploaded somewhere. xD

I love Change the world from V6. It was also the opening song no.1 of Inuyasha

lol I hope so Irene

me too

in fact that was the very 1st song I heard from the guys too

I also like Darling as well

Tackey will be releasing his solo single titled Ai Kakumei next year on 7th Jan !

it's already up for preorder on CDJapan :

i haven't heard the song yet, even though he's performed it already, right? LOL.

however, i would much rather have Tsubasa release a solo thing. Tsuba has the better voice, LOL. sorry Tackey! xD

but Tackey's hot. hehe.

Tackey performed Ai Kakumei 2 weeks ago on MUSIC STATION , Irene

I actually like the song since he wrote & composed it but the part where he went 'I love you shake' is CHEESY :dead2

you can download it via http://newshfan.livejournal.com/#asset-newshfan-65858

Wow a very familiar date...
What does Ai kakumei mean? Love?

eh what do you mean a very familiar date ?

anyway Ai Kakumei means Love Revolution

Tackey & Tsubasa's new calendar's up for preorder via http://track.webgains.com/click.html...0-en/info.html

Covers of Tackey's solo single Ai Kakumei - http://www.avexnet.or.jp/tackeytsubasa/discography.html

erm I only find them a-ok

from http://never-ending-music-power.blogspot.com/ :

"The second track is called WITH LOVE, and will have a PV that will be on the second LE edition of the single. The bonus track only on the RE cd in called Home Party!! and will have guest vocalists, Yamapi (NEWS), Yoko and Hina (both Kanjani8)."

wow I have to hear Home Party !! man in due time

I hope Home Party !! will sound good

Does Morita Go from V6 only have one leg o_o?

huh what do you mean ? O_O

I don't get you sorry

Well I was watching a really really old 24h TV special (the ones were they wear yellow shirts and do charity stuff etc.) and Morita Go was running a marathon but he was wearing a prosthetic leg...

I'm not sure if he was wearing one just to know what it's like to be disabled, or if he actually only has one leg. :thud

LOL

nah I don't think so not that I know of

I watched Gakkou e Ikou where they appeared on the show & no signs of Morita having a prosthetic leg (actually not sure since all 6 of them wore pants in the show)

have you seen it ? it's hilarous like max - http://newshfan.livejournal.com/63756.html

didn't realise that Sakamoto aka the leader's the biggest scarey cat among v6 while Miyake's a case of a guy who's N.A.T.O - No Action Talk Only

whoa. i have no idea if Go Morita has a prosthetic leg. i don't know much about V6 in general. lol. i like their music though~!

ohh. i heard Tackey's "Ai Kakumei" finally. it's okay, but yeah, i'm much more interested in hearing "Home Party!!" w/ YokoHinaPi. xD

nothing going on with KinKi/TOKIO?! meh. i feel like the sempais have been left out this year (well, V6 & SMAP have been pretty active). LOL. but that's just me complaining. xD

I think Tackey's Ai Kakumei would have been better if he leave out that line 'I love you shake' , which's like ?!?

I want another KinKi Kids single :( , Secret Code was really fantastic & it was the 1st single I heard the whole thing , inclusive of B-sides ie.

The Tokyo Hat Club organised a "Hat grand prix 2008" voting

& the results :

1st Akanishi Jin
2nd Kamenashi Kazuya

4th Domoto Koichi
5th Imai Tsubasa
6th Masahiro Nakai
7th Joe Odagiri
8th Terii Itou
9th Takizawa Hideaki
10th Kimura Takuya

Credit: http://blog.xuite.net/radio_report/kattun

hey why Koichi's lower than Tsuyoshi by a notch T_T

^ I love you shake? :laugh
I thought TOKIO was releasing a new 10th anniversary album...but then I remembered their 10th anni was in 2004 LOL, and tbh I haven't even heard Ai Kakuemi yet. I'm only interested in Home Party!! If that song is good then I'll listen to the rest of the single :laugh

I'm starting to find the older JE groups better looking than the current ones...I've always liked SMAP but there are some real cuties in TOKIO and especially V6 :heart Maybe it's just a phase I'm going through. :bchuck

^ lol

I love you shake is just WHAT & it's a sorethumb in the otherwise good song in Ai Kakumei

& haha , in V6 , I find Miyake Ken cute although it surprises me that he's not the youngest but it's actually Okada

Miyaka has that flirt look going in him :laugh

scans of KinKi Kids in Wink Up Jan '09 - http://community.livejournal.com/boy...54.html#cutid1

erm moody much ?

i think a lot of sempai groups are awesome. sometimes i prefer them over their kouhai (except for K-T & K8, of course, LMAO). :laugh

why can't the kouhai have much chemistry as the sempais. LOL. Nagase & Koichi are technically in love with each other. xD Tsuyoshi even kisses Koichi on the mouth, HOT DAMN. and V6, TOKIO, KinKi Kids, & SMAP have a great bond. must be a generational thing.

so much ~love~ with the sempais. haha, i love it!

i think Pi & Jin need to take notes. :3

O_O wow the Sempai's really do love each other a bit too much eh

it sucks that Tackey & Tsubasa are not performing on MSSL :irked :grumpy

to release 10 singles within 5 years , it's TOO SLOW dammit :dead2

yeah, i think sales-wise T&T have the lowest sales (as well as the least material considering their time of debut) from any JE group. it's a shame, i actually do like their music and i own material from them. :( i think Tackey & Tsubasa have very different schedules and they don't have time for unit activities. that's why they do a lot of solo stuff.

K-T's on their 8th single already, and it's not even their 3rd anniversary yet, LOL. and they've already matched their album count too w/ 3 albums (2 original, 1 best).

EDIT;;

"The SHIGOTONIN" will release a single "Kyoukasuigetsu" on February 4th. this unit includes Ohkura Tadayoshi (KANJANI8), Matsuoka Masahiro (TOKIO), & Hagashiyama Noriyuki (from Shounentai). :)

it's for their drama SP "Hissatsu Shigotonin 2009".

yay for Mabo & Hagashiyama! :D

yeah I think it's sad that Tackey & Tsubasa are not as active in release when comes to music , not to mention their sales are not on par with the other JE bands too

not to mention Venus's their best selling single , at 300K + which's a pity

& speaking of Tsubasa , from http://never-ending-music-power.blogspot.com/ :

http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...a.html#akasaka

"There was a Johnny's net update announcing that Imai Tsubasa will be having two concert performances near the end of January. It is titled, Dance and Rock Tsubasa Imai Tour '09, though I really wonder if two concerts can really be considered a tour. The two shows will be on January 24th and 25th."

hmm interesting

Er I thought T&T will be at MSSL?

That should be interesting. Reminded me of when Ohkura was on "Shonen Club Premium". ^^
Just for the record: His name's Higashiyama.

unfortunately no , they're the only Sempai group that's not appearing on MSSL :(

if you see the list via http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...008/#more-6200 , they're not mentioned on there
