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

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

...and yay! for MSSL. LOL.

haha jiarongisme said that Yamapi's over-rated , 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 ?

at least I did see some shop photos of him smiling in LIPS but not in DUES

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

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

LOL I would be annoyed if they did Wahaha but at least they're doing Musekinin Hero which will be great

@ Irene - omg 12 husbands ?!?! 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 ??

[ll moments ll]

^ 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..."!

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!!

[ll moments ll]

^ omg thanks!
it sounds interesting!

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

[Beauty4123]

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

[ll moments ll]

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!

[KarenPang]

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 ?

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

[ll moments ll]

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

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

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.

This is all I know about Higashiyama

Spoiler:

these pictures were taken this year! omg

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

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?
