sorry I have to include this in because @_@

Animated graphics - foxhana@LJ

I don't think anyone will care about Tegoshi (LMAO) but today he turned the same age as me ie. 22

T_T T_T T_T . At this rate , he will be look 33 on 23 D:

Yaiiyy. after along wait finally new dorama for Shige. gonna watch it

new thread already?! :P happy b-day to tegoshi, lol. i'm interested in shige's new drama SP. :)

lol Lisa you talking about 0 Goshitsu no Kyaku or Chichi yo, Anata wa Erakatta ?

I don't know if you know this but pretty much a lot of Johnny's are starring in 0 Goshitsu no Kyaku which's sub divided into 6 stories

Ohno starred in the 1st story while Shige will be coming in for the 3rd one . Koyama's slotted in the fifth story

oops , I should add Koyama's part in there too :dead2

Maruyama , Yasuda will be in the 2nd story while Murakami's in the 4th

^ woow thats alot. hopefully its gonna hit like Hana yori dango

ohh i know that, karen! i think i meant his other SP drama on TBS. i thought the airdate for that was confirmed already :P but i can't wait to see him on guests of room 0, then :D

edit: i was talking about this, lol. :P

BTW, those shige and massu, and shige GIFs......:smitten god, shige is so hot! :thud

So seems like the entire group is operating on their own operations right now and I'm just not sure when they are going to form back for a new release...maybe next year? I mean, their last single release was on April - over six months ago!!!

But that's great about them doing their own, but I just want them to come back together...

hahha.. killing smile :innocent
:thud

@ Lisa , not sure if Shige's Chichi yo, Anata wa Erakatta drama is a SP or not but I can doublecheck on that

you can say that again guys *__________*

Koyama said that recently when he SMS'd Tegoshi wishing him happy 22nd birthday in that at least Tegoshi doesn't look old as Shige 8D

but tranny ? yes :innocent

2 new Lawson CMs of KoyaShige & TegoMass - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rhMI...layer_embedded

where's RyoPi ?! D: & LOL at them eating fried chicken at the end of each CM's -_-'''

Mishelle posted the NINKI index for Loveless in the last thread but I will do so again

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/1426/singles.jpg

ah I can't wait to get the single(s) next week hopefully if stock's not delayed at my end

funny Cm karen,.. xixixi
good luck for pi. i dont like his voice though

subbed Zoom In clip of Yamapi which features him loving New York - http://newshfan.livejournal.com/149131.html

it's funny when he said that he loves hot dogs & had 1 day each day he was there (5 from what he said)

I like my hot dogs with chilli & mustard :D , the more the merrier :laugh

Huge ninki numbers as expected!
I want this single to leak already ToT

lol I think the single will leak out by Sun at most & that goes for the full Loveless PV too

cos last Sun was the day when ARASHI's My Girl single & the full PV was out so yeah

awesome NINKI :D

scans for all 3 editions of Loveless & Loveless PV making of screenshots - http://watchful21.livejournal.com/169495.html

*_________________*

check back that post every now & then because it's not 100% updated yet but D: D: , I so can't wait to get my copies next week :smitten

who knows I might consider to get the CD + DVD too when the Taiwan press roll out on 4th Dec :P

The full Loveless single can be downloaded via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2155814 :D

I just downloaded it earlier on so I'm gonna give it a listen now whee

yay for the sales:P
is the single good? (I mean all the tracks)

I'm listening to the 6 B-sides now D:

Crush On You's an mid tempo R&B tune

After the Rain's an awesome piano ballad :D & this's the only ballad B-side available . The other 5 are upbeat no.s

imo the whole Loveless totally overpawn Daite Senorita in terms of the variety/selection of songs choices available

Run From You & Me are full Eng no.s but I need to see the lyrics when I listen to the songs T_T

Moon Light's written by Yamapi & it's hot :heart & a bit different from the Daite Senorita's A/B-sides

I'm all the more excited to get the single(s) next week . I have seen preview scans of the single & it's just :smitten

I listen to the whole single on 1st listen & I'm real impressed I say . Good job Yamapi :D

Loveless will kick ARASHI's butt next week for sure :P :laugh

I am listening to the single :) It's definitely better than Senorita, which was for an A-side awful like that (and I have a fear from songs with the title "Senorita" in them), but the B-sides were better, especially Himawari. It's really depressing when artists make better B-sides than A-sides. But oh well... :)

Loveless is a sweet upbeat ballad, I like it so I can listen to it, even though it's nothing special and the "Sayonara" part is a bit annoying, but that's it. I was expecting Yamapi to do smth like MOLA 8D I'd prefer to see him doing smth fast & hot and not ballads. I enjoyed the PV even more :D
Crush On You is catchy and "rockish" for me when I compare it to the others lol. I like it more than Loveless :)
Run From You is boring.
Dream Jam is ok and sweet. Still boring.
ME is catchy and I like it as much as Crush On You :D Maybe I'll listen to it even more than COY or Loveless. I won't make any comment on lyrics btw...
After The Rain is a nice, but another boring ballad.
Moonlight is... I dunno, an ok song that I won't listen as much.

^ lol omg I love the Sayonara Nante part ! XD It got me back into the "Yay Yamapi fangirl" status

^ it's too sweet xD

i'm currently downloading the single, but it's taking unusually long to finish :grumpy 6 minutes remaining, lol.

already out when I was out for a japanese convention T_T
Can't wait to listen! I'm downloading

i haven't listened to the single yet (been too busy listening to new Lady Gaga, LMFAO. :P) but i saw some pics & lyrics from watchful21@LJ.

THERE'S A LOT OF EIGO (English) LYRICS. i wonder if i should be scared. LOL.

i think the single is great, overall! my second favorite after Loveless is definately After the Rain. that song is so beautiful! then i love Dream Jam, ME, and Crush On You. Moonlight is my least favorite, but it's not so bad. so i'm really satisfied. good job, yamapi! :D

lol my younger sister said that Crush On You is just weird for her o_O & don't get her started on the 2 full eng no.s too

really if you want to sing in another language , at most do a proper job before doing so since it's not easy

but what the heck I still will get the single(s) :P xD

scans - all 3 editions of Loveless

http://aya-takarai.livejournal.com/117779.html

*___________________*

seems to me that the CD only limited edition has more pics but omg all are pure :luv2

now the chances of me getting the Taiwan press / CD + DVD is higher now LMAO but until then CD only regular & limited , here I come 1st xD

holy moly at the scans (*___*)
well sounds like the songs are good :yes
can't wait to listen to them :P
will download it...in december (-_-||) I'm so afraid that downloading songs might crash my computer that I have to wait until after my final exams...ugh...:weep

thanks for the scans, karen! they are...amazing :luv2

Ryo singing "Akireru Kurai Bokura wa Negaou" with Taichi on Piano

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUlC5zN-_pE

His voice sounds lovely here. Come on JE what are you waiting for? Make him go solo already!

^ This is beautiful *_* ! I'm gonna rip it when I finish with my iTunes drama
But he can't go solo now .. it would be too much pressure on poor Ryo-chan =(

Ryo's live is really pretty, I would love to see him debut as solo <3
Since NEWS are not doing anything, that would be really great *o*!

Yamapi's single is really good overall, I think I like Loveless the best. MoonLight is interesting, latin vibe, really nice. Crush on You is my 3rd favorite. I need to pay more attention to the rest :)

The full Loveless PV is up for download :D & it's in super HQ mode too :dead2 @_@

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96077

..........i hate to say, but i find "Loveless" (the single) more on the bland side. the only song i find worthy of a repeat is "Loveless" itself. "Daite Senorita" both A-side and as a single are waaaaaay stronger, imho.

ia with Ryo going solo. he has the best solo material in K8/NEWS, imo. :yes

Code Blue 2 has been confirmed. Never saw the first one. Is it any good?

http://watchful21.livejournal.com/169818.html

:weep i never saw the first one either because i'm scared of medical dramas :P i love HANABI though :laugh

@ Mishelle - not very sure but my younger sister & Yamapi's wife has seen it :laugh

Dec scans of him in Dazed & Confused - http://aya-takarai.livejournal.com/119260.html

@________________________________@

omg omg omg omg MatsuJun appeared 2 months back in that magazine & he was :luv2 in there but sorry Yamapi's just smoking there in black & white :dead2 :tired :tipsy

*runs back to DAIGO & co. xD

Code Blue 2 - ....oh i see.

Dazed & Confused Scans - okay, damn, those are hot. :laugh

lol I can't comment for code blue because I never watched it in the 1st place @_@ but my younger sister was going cool earlier on when I told her that haha

ok at least Yamapi's back to hot mode now xD . He was :dead2 a while back ago during their Koi no ABO era but not anymore :P

ugh I just love black & white photos if you ask me T_T

<3


sounds like lipsync but it's still different from the studio song... Maybe pre-recorded and lipsync

i didn't expect dancing! i thought it worked good with the song, lol. yamapi was very hot in the performance. i thought it was very good, overall :yes but yea, i think it was pre-recorded or some kind of back track was playing, because it sounded a bit different to me.

I will wait for Wendy to sub the making of Loveless PV & the HEYx3 talk :P

anyway due to high demand , 2 more concert dates of his solo gig has been added on Jan 6 & 7th next year - http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/4909842.html

The dancing fits well with the song. I don't think he's lipsyncing more like what jiarongisme said he's singing along with the backtrack.

nice to see a bit of dancing going on in the HEYx3 Loveless performance

hope he wouldn't screw things up this Fri at MUSIC STATION *points to Daite Senorita :innocent

LOL that was such a classic performance :laugh

if anyone wants to re-live the fun :laugh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snzl6sjKUU4

:laugh

oh that's a classic in all the wrong ways possible xD

EDIT - Loveless debuted at #1 with 78,519 copies

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

I was expecting a much bigger no. for the 1st day hmm but he kicked ARASHI's butt LOL

omg I didn't see this before XD
I even felt embarassed for the poor Pi-chan XDD
*watches it over and over*

i'm sure he'll get over 100k in the first week :P go yamapi!

yeah but in terms of matching the total sales that's of Daite Senorita , I doubt so now :no

I say the single can clear about 200K if it's lucky T_T

I don't think anyone's interested in Yamapi's love life but anyway LOL

Yamapi and Keiko Kitagawa seen holding hands !

http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/4921986.html

OMFGLOL. i found this at aramatheydidnt. idk if its shopped. it doesn't look like it.

http://i50.tinypic.com/i4mf7b.jpg

BRB DYING. :lmfao

GOTDAMMIT I NEED TO STUDY.

how sweet xD

he looks like a rabbit :P

:laugh

[3 subbed clips] "HEY!x3" 13 July 2009 Yamapi talk & Loveless + Code Blue 2 + Hidarime Tantei Eye series

http://newshfan.livejournal.com/150354.html

Hannya's back again xD

ROFL dumb and dumber :laugh that picture is just hilarious!

i wish yamapi and keiko were really dating, they are just toooo cute.

Yamapi on HEYx3 was HILARIOUS but they focused a lot on Downtown's Matsumoto

was scary to see yamapi being all domestic & daddy like D:

[3 subbed clips] Nov 2009 - Yamapi's favorite lyrics + ad for his single + Janiben Oct 2009 Ryo is S & M?!

http://newshfan.livejournal.com/150716.html

catch the Spanish phase incorporated into Moon Light which's Yamapi's fave phase

it's a luz da la luna aka light of the moon which's so cool

Janiben's funny & Ryo was being silly/goofy :laugh . SHELIA is such a bimbo just like Suzanna :innocent

Anyway I believe Ryo's DoS . I don't think he's a DoM at all , not that I know of

===

Yamapi's Xmas message

http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/4937079.html

aw :luv2

am real tempted to get the CD + DVD of Loveless when it's out on Taiwan 2 Fri's from now man ;_______;

I wanna make my Loveless singles collection complete in a way or 2 but I see how :innocent

a member on JPM watched the making of the Loveless PV, and it has different locations of NY. but this caught my attention...

why couldn't he have danced by the beach across the street from me?! :grumpy i have no idea where greenpoint is, btw, lol. what a bad new yorker i am :laugh

LOLLL Lisa :laugh

next time have better luck ya :innocent

Pin unite ! & this time round , both guys sang a song called Eternal at the last day of Yamapi's SHORT BUT SWEET gig yesterday

http://maishampoo.livejournal.com/34389.html

so cool *_____*

cross posted this to the KAT-TUN thread & in case nobody bothers to read the 1st post , I uploaded/added in the Dec issue of Potato pics of the group & guys because I feel it's a really nice photoshoot overall :D

Shige's just @_@

Loveless sold 194,451 in the 1st week

wow that's quite .... low . I was expecting like 300K + in the 1st week considering it was released in 3 editions

but it doesn't matter , Yamapi kicked ARASHI's butt & this week it will be Akanishi (LANDS) that will be doing that I gather :P

aww :( but at least he's almost near 200k :yes either way, for how sales are now compared to 2006 (with daite senorita) it's still pretty good!

loveless @ utaban:



....not loving the hair :no

yeah it has been 3 1/2 years since he released Daite Senorita so whether you like it or not , selling 100K+ for a single at this day/age's considered good already

others are not so lucky if you ask me & somemore Loveless doesn't have a tie in unlike Daite Senorita

& LOL yeah I don't like his hair in the Utaban performance .___.

Yamapi and Ikuta Toma in a new unit ?!

http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/4949941.html

omg I would love to see that happen *____*

I haven't had the chance to hear Ikuta Toma sing since I mainly see him as an actor but my younger sister said that his voice's good

omg two hotties in a new unit? :luv2 i'd love to hear ikuta toma sing! he's such a cutie :D

Too bad he's lypsincing in the utaban live... He can totally sing live but why he's not doing it more often ?!

TOMAAAAA. :heart
i've barely seen some lives with 4TOPS, but i think i liked what i heard when he did sing. :)

LOL

he was probably tired that day Mylene when the show was being tapped ? I don't know :shrug
