Talking about Yonezu Kenshi , I would be interested to hear his own rendition of ARASHI's Kite since he created the song for them

Kite is fantastic & well deserved of ARASHI to have their highest ever 1st week sales singles wise

A slight shame Journey to Harmony was not released as an A-side with Kite cos it's 1 of their best B-sides to date with them performing the song last Nov for the 1st time during Emperor Naruhito's enthronement ceremony

It's surprising up to now ARASHI has not obtained a million selling single yet

I'm quite sure all that will change in a matter of time

This year is frankly an outright awful year in Japanese showbiz :s

I know mental health issues are still taboo & not spoken out publicly in Japan but I think Japanese celebrities should not suffer in silence

And when they chose to take their own lives , they left behind a lot of sadness and many questions on why they do this

By then it would have been too late already ._.

I have tremendous respect towards Kobukuro & their new single is so awesome

Kobukuro specialises in folk rock driven music so for them to put out songs not in their usual music element , it's always a nice surprise of the good kind

When they performed Tomoru Inori at last Mon's CDTV Live! Live! , it was spine chilling

I cannot wait to see even more TV promo for Tomoru Inori in days to come

This kind of made 2020 a little better





And the fact that KinKi Kids looked so unhappy on purpose last night make things even more better

Yeah when my friend & I saw that on Mon during CDTV Live! Live! 4 Hours Christmas special episode , we were like o_O O_o

Hilariously KinKi Kids dressed up like 2 giant snowmen on today's X'mas with KinKi Kids gift selection 2020 online concert and they looked so unhappy once again

On purpose

Currently watching abingdon boys school JAPAN TOUR 2020 which WOWOW aired last Dec

Wow brought back so many memories for me as a.b.s was the very 1st JRock group I started supporting

The songs they did , the ones that I still can remember , they still sound so good after so long & this's despite me not listening to their music for a long time

But after this I probably will relisten to their material again

Knowing it has been so long since a.b.s was last active , watching abingdon boys school JAPAN TOUR 2020 , it's like they never really left

V6 will be disbanding on 1st Nov , on the same day when they made their music debut :s

Man can't say I'm surprised about this but it's still saddening to know so ._.

I waited almost a month before I at last watched the full PV of KAT-TUN's Kame's Pure Ice PV

And for good reason as when I saw the preview alongside with the other 2 solo PV previews , I was like O.M.G , at last he didn't hold anything back anymore ie. the veil has been ripped up

I never thought even though it has been so many years since Kame put out 1582 , that onstage performance he did , it still has such a big horrible impact on so many , including me

^ That's ok

Yes at least Nagase's departure from both TOKIO and J&A were announced months in advance so that people will not get a rude shock unlike what happened to other ex Johnnys who have left which some happened abruptly/unexpectedly

It's a bit unfortunate that due to what happened to Yamaguchi , TOKIO was unable to celebrate their 25th anniversary :s

Just like Fukuyama Masaharu who took 6 years to at last release a new album last year , now is Domoto Koichi's turn to follow suit

When Square Enix decided to do a collaboration with Koichi's new solo album , it of course will bound to be something epic

And already from the visuals & brief video teasers uploaded , I'm so psyched

I just hope PLAYFUL will be a good worthy follow up to Koichi's last album Spiral

^ you forgot Mon's CDTV Live! Live! 4 hours Christmas special episode

It's worrying that a lot of the Johnny groups have members that have COVID-19 but what J&A has decided to do for Snow Man is the most drastic

I hope the older groups will not have the virus but you never know

Maybe that's why V6 has sat out of so many live TV shows & this year's also their 25th anniversary

At least they will perform in tomorrow's MUSIC STATION Ultra SUPER LIVE 2020 which I think it will be their last TV appearance for the year
