~VIVA LA DRUNK DIVA~

happy posting! :)

i miss the sexy profile pics, LOL. but the thread's lookin' good, irene :cool

sorry, it's a product of my laziness. xD

but maybe down the road, i'll make them.

woo hoo yay to the new thread , like about damn time man for a new one

& let me see Irene created the very 1st thread on here on .... last Nov on the 17th :O

just 8 days shy of the 1st thread's 1st anniversary (9 days for you guys since it's already Sun here at my end)

so erm I have a question reg the Kanfuu Fighting single . I remember reading it somewhere that it has like what 8 editions & the cover's basically the same for all ?

what's that all about :O

^ yeah Karen all 8 covers are the same.
Here's a pic of them together.
http://cgi.ebay.com/KANJANI8-Kanfu-F...3A1|240%3A1318

I wish the covers were different too..at least with SMAP's 12 edition best album the covers each had a different color ;)

I miss UCHI. Why can't they just tell us if he's coming back or not, don't leave us hanging :weep

is that like a good luck charm thingy on the left side of all the Kanfuu Fighting singles ?

I saw 1 copy of it left in the local HMV & it has the orange strip thing , erm whatever that's

Uchi - it's unfortunate that he got busted for underage drinking , even my younger sister missed him with regards to NEWS as she supports NEWS

^ it's a wrist bracelet, or something like that.
the LE covers are metallic or shiny? too, i believe. while the Normal Edition is PINK UCHI PINK. xD

i miss the ~DRUNK DIVAS~ in general. :[
Uchi was attached to Ryo's hip and Kusano had a really nice voice.

wow, the guys really love obama in the musekinin hero scan in the first post :laugh the change and yes we can! lines, lol. i just noticed that :P

LE cover - erm I never took notice whether is it metallic/shiny when I was at HMV the other day , oops

How old was Uchi when he got busted for underage drinking ? 18 ?

it's sad that something like this had to happen to him & how old he's now ?

haha yeah, K8 is pro-Obama!

it's nice to know they're interested in politics. :P
and the single came out just in time for the election!

*Irene is a politics nerd*

EDIT;; & Karen, Uchi is currently 22. he got busted in summer 2005, so he was 18/19 at the time, i think.

^For one of them, either Uchi or Kusano, it was shortly before his 20th birthday, wasn't it?

Yay, for the 2nd Kanjani8 thread! Hope it won't take another year for the 3rd... ^_-v

@ Irene - thanks for the info &

LOL :laugh

well I wasn't around when the 1st thread was started & it took under a year to hit 500 posts

Since I'm around now maybe the 3rd thread will take a much shorter time to hit 500 posts then haha

LOL Keep posting then! xD

:lmfao

^ i was waiting for someone to comment on that. xD

yeah, i think it was Kusano that got busted a wee bit before his 20th birthday. D:
HE WAS SO CLOSE.

yeah, i hope this thread moves faster than the last one. :weep
EITO NEEDS MORE LOVE.

aw , poor Kusano :(

umm Irene , why are K8 also known as Eito in this case ? I have seen people in the K8 LJ community calling K8 that nickname

Eito = Eight.

xD

LOL :laugh

that's so ... erm simple

I guess the K8 fans still consider Uchi to be part of the group eh ?

well, of course, there's pro-Uchi & anti-Uchi K8 fans, just like in the NEWS fandom how people are divided between 8-man NEWS & 6-man NEWS. i think a majority of people who got into NEWS/K8 before the whole scandal want him back, while those who got into them after the scandal don't really care for him (or Kusano).

but i think with KANJANI8, a lot of people are rooting for Uchi to come back because Uchi is very huge part of K8 and has more history with them. and not to mention the current line-up still supports Uchi with subtle messages of pink~ everywhere.

i'm very pro-Uchi since i got into the JE fandom before everything happened, lol. xD i still remember Uchi & Kusano on Utaban with NEWS promoting "TEPPEN".

2nd week sales of Musekinin Hero - no.7 , 21,723 copies

total sales so far - 369,458*

YAY :D

now I'm deciding if I want to get both Limited Editions singles online or not T_____T

GET THEM KAREN!! :3
idk if K8 has overseas versions, since i've never seen them on YesAsia, so i don't know if the Japanese LEs will be there for long.

i hope we get an album soon! :D

:laugh

I know K8 doesn't have OS presses of their stuff since they're under a different record label as compared to the other JE bands ie. on Teichiku Entertainment

I don't know I see how because frankly I don't really want the dvd contents of the Musekinin Hero LE's that much as compared to the CD contents of both LE's

well, i can't force you to buy them, hehe. xD

but i would recommend it if you're a K8 fan, of course! i love their live performances, so the concert clips are a great bonus too.

but yeah, ultimately, i bought both of them since i really liked the b-sides as well. i was only planning on buy 1 too. DAMN U JOHNNY. ;_; LOL.

:roflmao

let me think about it cos I really like the B-sides in both LE's especially fuka fuka Love the earth

& eh is that K8 on your banner & what's with the arrow ? :O

you know ∞ → 1

yup yup, it's K8 in their Eito Rangers outfits.
if you've seen their tours, it's a skit they do. they have super powers~, LOL!

∞ → 1;; Ohkura started using this on his j-webs if i'm not mistaken, after Uchi's suspension. the ∞ is the infinity sign, as well as 8 sideways, so 8 = 1! it's just a little thing to signify their bond.

did that make sense? xD

lol yes it does make sense to me , Irene

the K8 icons that you have are cute

too bad Ryo's colour's not hot pink :(

lol yeah, i don't necessary like yellow (but i love pastel yellow), BUT RYO MAKES YELLOW HOT. xD

OMG U GUYS. UCHI SOLO CONS. *_*

NIKKAN SPORTS & SANSPO

& I QUOTE FROM KANJANI8 LJ COMM:
VIVA LA DRUNK DIVA~

EDIT;; this will not mean he will be returning to K8, necessarily. but it might help him gain lost ground from his suspension.

O_o Yesterday, without knowing anything, I thought about Yassu on SCP and wondered if someone will give a comment like "He's kinda gay". xD

got this from CDJapan's email alert :

NEOIPS-255
KANJANI8/KANJANI8 Photo & Episode BOOK
1300 yen US$13/97.52 Release Date:2008/12/16
Description:Book release from Kanjani8 featuring the photos from their Spring and Summer concert in 2008, secret stories of members, and more.
URL - http://cdjapan.jp/d.html?KEY=NEOIPS-255

^Secret stories of members?

Maybe more "Maru surprises Yoko"-like stories? :innocent

^ LMAOOOOO. that story was hilarious.

Mr. Johnny must've been like, "...LOLOKAY". xD

^Yeah, I laughed so hard. xD That SDK episode was SOOO FUNNY. I LMAOed the whole episode through. =3
Maybe shachou said "It fits you chara" to Maru, like he did to Koki hairstyle..... xD

The thing is, Yoko was talking on, but they cut it. If the continuation is funny, hopefully it will make it to an unaired scenes special.

yay :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...n/IMG_0446.jpg

this's definitely 1 of my fave singles , there's just something about Osaka Rainy Blues that I really like

the cover is so cute! :P

yeah it's Lisa

I'm actually surprised that it came with stickers to begin with

oohhh, awesome single choice, Karen.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARUYAMA.

i love you so much to you~! :smitten

yay, happy birthday to him! :P

Thanks Irene , I like Osaka Rainy Blues a lot & also of course Heavenly Psycho too

:D

*coming from the Arashi thread*

...Happy Birthday, Maruyama! ^^

The guys's new calendar is up for preorder - http://track.webgains.com/click.html...0-en/info.html

awesome :D

^ aww, it's not gonna crack the top 10. :3
oh well, they got the #1 DVD so. yeah, i can deal.

as for the calendars, i'll get KAT-TUN's first. LOL. and see if i can get K8's later. haha!

i'm guessing you won't get arashi's calendar too, irene? :laugh i can't even get, at least, one calendar myself :weep

^ omg, i know. a JE calendar is so damn expensive, but they really put in nice extras in it at least! like the eco-friendly tote bag for the K-T one this year. i got a 2006-2007 Tackey & Tsubasa calendar with a photobok too!

LOL. i don't think i'll get the Arashi one, Lisa. sowwie. x3333

yeah, i hope the solo cons go well for Uchi. there's still one strand of hope left in me that he'll at least return to K8.

speaking of Uchi, there's fan reports that he appeared at Ohkura's solo con. AND UCHI HAS A PAIR OF RYO'S HOUSE KEYS. *_* AND OHKURA THINKS UCHI IS RYO'S GIRLFRIEND. LOL.

KNSKLFANSGKANK'ASNGSAOGK;LKSDNF oh goddd the images going through my head right now~ :smitten. and not even uchi can save NEWS from being boring :bchuck, he just really needs to go back to K8.


Oh and for all you subaru fans look what I found

:roflmao
I thought Nagase was bad when he debuted but this is just...:lmfao

ROFL :laugh omg.

:roflmao

well at least Musekinin Hero's officially their best selling single now so it's ok

you're not the only 1 who wouldn't be getting any JE calendars , Lisa

I also will not getting them , they're too expensive

LOLLLLOLLSUBARU! :heart
god, i love the Junior period for like, everyone. so much crack! xD

omg plz do not remind me of Nagase. HIS SHORTS, HAHHAHAHAHA. :lmfao

i also posted this in the NEWS thread:

YUU & HINA ARE GONNA APPEAR ON "Home Party!!" FOR TACKEY'S SOLO SINGLE~!

Tackey, YamaPi, Yoko, & Hina. that is one bad mixture of voices, LMAO.

LOL this should be interesting.

they should make a PV for it.

IT WOULD BE EPIC. *_*

Yoko & Hina would come up with some WIN-worthy moments, for sure! :lmfao

Some K8 related stuff & this centres on Tackey & Tsubasa's Tackey who's dropping his solo single Ai Kakumei next month :

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

This gotta be cool innit ?

Marionette Initiate due to this post <3

LOL. i just posted that a couple posts up. xD

it's gonna be interesting. i think it will be somewhat like a K8 song? idk, i can just imagine those 4 being funny and just sing/talk that whole song.

oops I didn't realise that sorry :dead2

I was having exams this whole week which explained on why I was a headless chicken running all around AHS yesterday :dead2

& lol it will be funny if WHITE LOVE will sound like something K8 will put out cos I mean this's Tackey we're talking about

hahaha it's okay.

T&T have a song called "Aishiteruze T&T", which oddly sounds like their version of KANJANI8's "∞ o'clock", where they literally talk (& not sing) about each other. i think it's either gonna be like that. or like "Sukiyanen Osaka". xD

is it even possible to have another sukiyanen osaka? it's just...too amazing :laugh

yeah, i agree, "Sukiyanen Osaka" is EPIC. it's definitely my favorite K8 song. it just puts the biggest smile on your face.

and i like their sun mascot for the song. i've always wanted to make one. and learn their dance. :laugh

woah ok :O

Sukiyanen Osaka is classic & it's 1 of those silly songs that I don't mind to listen to over & over again

my younger sister doesn't like Osaka Obachan Rock which's sad as I really like it & don't get me started on the wacked out PV , yo :laugh

i said this awhile back, but i hate obachan rock, too.

SUKIYANEN OSAKA FTW :D

Osaka Obachan Rock's funny in a hilarious way , the outfits are kooky :laugh

& don't get me started for It's My Soul :thud

i LOVE it's my soul. words can't even decribe how crazy it is, but i love it, lol. :tipsy

haha

I was talking about the outfits Lisa , not the song & for the record yes I like that song

I don't know if they can put out another serious song like Osaka Rainy Blues though

well, the outfits are too crazy to descibe too :D haha.

^ haha

I thought Kanfuu Fighting will be a crazy psycho PV but it's actually very tame as compared to their other crazy PVs which surprised me

the parts where Yokoyama was singing in Chinese are funny

These guys are hot when they wear the suit.:cool I do believe that they may have many female fans.

they DO look hot in suits :D and yea, as most JE groups, i'm sure they have female fans, lol.

prime eg. of them wearing suits in a PV - Kanfuu Fighting & most recently Musekinin Hero

& er who's that hentai guy in K8 again ? the one who was wearing glasses & keep on eating , eating & eat somemore in the Musekinin Hero PV ? Ohkura ?

yup that's ohkura (aka irene's 2nd husband? :shrug)

AHAHAHA :roflmao

WHAT , since when she has another husband ?!?!

I thought she only has Kame :innocent

O_______O

i'm not sure, but irene does think ohkura looks like kame :yes

LOL

I frankly can't see how both guys look alike though :dead2

damn I should familarise myself with the rest of K8 more as I only know Yokoyama , Ryo , Murakumi & Subaru (which I feel has the best voice in the group)

That's probably why he's the lead singer. Along with Nishikido, who's the 2nd lead singer.

I still don't have a Kanjani8 album. I almost bought "Kansha ni 8" this summer. Why didn't I? ;_;

ok so Subaru is not up there in the looks department but he makes up for it with his great voice & he deserved to be the lead singer in K8 :D

& don't worry Aga , I myself don't have a K8 album although I have some of their singles now

^But I had held it in my hands and ALMOST bought it! Stupid me!! >.<

You don't think Shibutani's good looking? lol
I have to say, he scares me a little, haha. Specially long-haired Shibutani. xD He was so cute during his junior days. Looked like a girl.

i think subaru is pretty good looking :yes just not as hot as ryo, LOL. obviously :laugh

LOL :laugh no wonder

scans of the guys in Wink Up Jan '09 - http://community.livejournal.com/boys_paper/525754.html

http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...008/#more-6200

oh yeah Musekinin Hero on MSSL :D

...Ohkura's ones of my husbands. i got like 10. Kame's my main one though.
hey, i can dream about having more than 1 Johnny husband.

:laugh

Ohkura DOES look like Kame (well, IMO. LOL). i have evidence, but. i'll show that another day. LOL. i'm ALMOST DONE with finals. haha.

I NEED TO BUY KANSHA NI EIGHT TOO. D:
i only have "KJ2 Zukkoke Daidassou". and the LE "Musekinin Hero" singles. :P

for my 2nd favorite JE group i don't have much. :weep
because KAT-TUN steals my money. LOL.

omg 10 husbands ?!?! :thud

then who're the other 9 other than Kame O__________O

K8 wise , I only have their singles which're :

- Osaka Rainy Blues
- Sukiyanen , Osaka . / Oh ! ENKA / Mugendai (regular edition)
- Osaka Obachan ROCK / Osaka Romanesque (regular edition)
- Musekinin Hero (CD only regular edition)

it's little as compared to KAT-TUN which I have their whole discography , singles & albums wise :thud

& oh ya hopefully you will be done with finals real soon , Irene . I finished mine last week :D

Kamenashi Kazuya, Nishikido Ryo, Taguchi Junnosuke, Ohkura Tadayoshi, Akanishi Jin, Yokoyama Yuu, Domoto Koichi, Nagase Tomoya, Ninomiya Kazunari, Takizawa Hideaki, & Imai Tsubasa.

...that's 11. WHOOPS. :lmfao

but yeah, about half of them are either from K-T or K8. ~BIG SURPRISE THERE~. xD

LOL :laugh

oh my god that's a lot :roflmao

I thought V6's Miyake might be on your list , I'm surprised he's not & eh for Akanishi ? Surprised that Bakanishi made it in your list but not Yamapi ?! O_O

but oh well at least you're not fighting with me over MatsuJun & DAIGO although er Kame wise , that's a different thing *points to avater* :innocent

=========

anyway .. , can't wait to see Musekinin Hero on MSSL soon :D

YamaPi was on my list. but that was like, 2-3 years ago. LOL. i just outgrew him, i guess. he hasn't really impressed me since...Nobuta. wo Produce.

I LOVE JIN~! but out of the list, Jin is the one i like to pick on & criticize the most, i suppose. :P but no matter how much i try to hate him, i always end up loving him. LMAO. :smitten

ANYWAY~ Ohkura, SEXY OSAKA MAN, & Yoko are my favorites in K8. :yes

...and yay! for MSSL. LOL.

haha :laugh jiarongisme said that Yamapi's over-rated :P , for me er I'm netural about it although I think he gets the most attention in NEWS , 2nd's of course Ryo

Akanishi - he should smile more dammit , at least your hubby Kame does but Akanishi seems to like to keep on pulling long faces practically everyday ? :dead2

at least I did see some shop photos of him smiling in LIPS but not in DUES :no

& yeah Ohkura's cute although it's funny that you considered him to be a hentai guy :roflmao

Thank goodness they're not doing Wahaha on MSSL or else I will be turned off :dead2

:grumpy at least you don't have matsujun irene, LOL. he's mine :mischief

aww, i would have liked wahaha on MSSL :( but oh well, lol.

I FORGOT MY MARUYAMA RYUHEI~!!
...i guess that's 12. :lmfao

"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! special unit! :D
though, nothing can top Shuuji to Akira, sorry to say. or Toraji+Haiji.

that sounds fun! i'm interested in hearing this single.

LOL I would be annoyed if they did Wahaha :no but at least they're doing Musekinin Hero which will be great :D

@ Irene - omg 12 husbands ?!?! :roflmao O_O

& oh wow , can't wait to hear The SHIGOTONIN's Kyoukasuigetsu in due time , cool & er speaking of much , what does the name of their debut single means in English ??

^ i wish i could translate. :3
but sadly, i cannot. LOL. i recognize some kanji (like the getsu part, which probably means month or moon), but that's about it.

i think the drama SP is like a period drama, so maybe we'll get a traditional type of song like "Naniwa..."! :D

i hope it's a similar vibe.

lol ok but yeah I don't mind an enka tinged song , it has been a long time since K8 put out such an enka tinged song such as Naniwa , Oh ENKA !

鏡花水月

(1) flowers reflected on a mirror and the moon reflected on the water's surface
(2) something that is visible but having no substance
(3) the subtle and profound beauty of poems that cannot be described in words

-----

I SO want another enka-inspired song!!

^ omg thanks! :D
it sounds interesting!

i will cry a river of happiness if it's enka-inspired. LOL.

i really wanna see the video now, lol. even though i only know who ohkura is in the group :P

Ohkura always seems to be paired up with Mabo somehow, LOL. like, i watched them in Yasuko to Kenji. i'm guessing they're quite close, since Mabo's the drummer of TOKIO and Tacchon is the drummer of K8.

i'm not too familiar with Higashiyama. i haven't really gone beyond SMAP. i heard he's a really well respected sempai though, and one of the 4 dancing kings too.

i can't wait for the release though!

so will you be buying The SHIGOTONIN's debut single release , Irene ? I'm curious to hear how will their single sound like

will it be a crazy song or a standard JE fare ? :shrug

btw is Musekinin Hero Eito's best selling single or is it Kanfuu Fighting still ?

^ Musekinin Hero's 1st week outsold the overall sales of "Kanfuu Fighting", LMAO!

so yeah, MH is their best-selling single so far! :D

i'm not sure if i'll get it just yet, i need to hear a preview! or something, haha. but it is an interesting collaboration.

omg :roflmao

that's really something , guess it pays to have 3 different editions of Musekinin Hero & hopefully a preview of the collaboration will be out soon

This is all I know about Higashiyama :lech



I don't know much about his music career either though. Ah so excited for this unit~

Congrats to the boys on their success this year :luv2

Don't all three of them hang up during their free-time? Wasn't Matsuoka doing the video messege for Ohkura, when he was on SCP? And he was saying how he and Higashiyama take him out to karaoke?
