ARASHI
i only got into them starting from february, but as some may know, i'm still a
HUGE fangirl, and even if i wasn't, that dosen't stop me from saying that all the singles they've released this year are
EXCELLENT (well, maybe "one love" isn't my best a-side, but i still love it, lol
). the sales even prove how amazing they did this year, so i'm extremely happy that they've had their success and hopefully even more will come in 2009. i love these boys like
CRAZY, so i wish them all the luck.

i only got into them in april, but unlike some people (
) i loved SUMMER TIME, taiyou no namida, and happy birthday. even "color" is a great album, so i'm honestly satisfied with how they did in 2008.

KAT-TUN

Hey Say JUMP!
"dreams come true" was just soo catchy that i HAD to be a fan of this group. "your seed" and "mayonaka no shadow boy" are awesome, so i can't wait for their debut album, hopefully soon.

i didn't like them at first because of their cracked up songs, lol, but i seriously wouldn't wanna hear any other type of songs from them. i totally love "wahaha" and "musekinin hero" (ryo nishkido FTW
