......................looking forward to Papa wa Idol! \:DDDD/ Lololol at all those Japanese people flooding twitter in shock after seeing the CM just now. Gotcha. XD

(And ooh can't wait for Aiba's cat drama too. Tacchon's begun filming for it.)

School term has started today and i'm finally back at work - which is good for me cos i've been in a dazed mode ever since i came back from Osaka last week, so having stuff to be busy over again would definitely help me out of it. :|

Anyway, highly recommended read - Maru's 10000-word interview. He's not perfect, but i do think he's very awesome and endearing as a person. ♥
One of the girls i was with for the show on the 29th held a hand-made WILD7 uchiwa. We were in the arena and when Maru came by and saw the uchiwa and pompoms, he gave the group of us a very huge wave and a peace-sign. Girl burst into tears. XD I think I was going to, too lol cos the way he smiled at us was just so... from-the-heart, so amazing. You could rlly see Maru literally scanning the audience and their uchiwas, and trying his best to respond to as many of his fans as possible, at every show.

Strawberry Night starts tomorrow! /excited

Taking note of some people seen at K8's Tokyo Dome show today - Jin (tog with Josh, Fuku-kun etc), Inocchi (of V6), Mizukawa Asami (tog with the two kid actors in Inu wo Kau), Koike Teppei, Sugiura Taiyou, cast members from Yasu's stageplay Trust Ikanee,　Masuko of Dohatsuten (composer of Monjai Beat), Nakamura Teppei (director of 8UPPERS, 365nichi Kazoku PV and the concert opening video), Recomen's K-taro etc
Seen previous two days - Kitagawa Yujin of Yuzu and the boss of his record company, Taguchi, Akan Keisatsu staff, Zenkai Girl staff, Sexy Zone members, Yara, Akkun, Ryo's elder bro, Maru's younger sis, lotsa random Johnny Jrs etc

When the album was first announced I wondered why the name 'FIGHT', and then the track 'Fight for the Eight' surfaced and convinced me that it's about the place they're at right now, fighting for things important to them, including the group. Looking at the official logo of the tour, i also like how 'Fight' is just one stroke short of 'Eight'. Like, it's a Fight right now, one year before their big 8th anniversary next year. Their setup outside the dome venues (and also at several 311 disaster-hit areas) also made me see the title from a different dimension. I'm reminded of what they'd said at some press conferences this year and also some of the shows so far. They truly believe that they can do a part to help Japan recover from 311, and one of the ways is to try to bring laughter to the people in a way only K8 can.

"These are flowers that bloomed in the disaster-hit areas. Let's smile along with our friends and counterparts (from those areas).
Believe in the future and FIGHT together with us!! - Kanjani8"

Uploaded some random Jpop i've been looping recently (besides the K8 album):
Crystal Kay - Superman
SEKAI NO OWARI - Starlight Parade
Namie Amuro - Love Story
Ikimonogakari - Aruite Ikou

I know i'm very late, but i finally got brainwashed by this song. I was just watching the past week's SMAPxSMAP where Gorokumi did a copy of her video, and i just had to youtube for the original after i saw that.

This was the person whom Hina was trying to explain about to Ryo on Tsuushin a while back. Apparently Hina saw her on TV. "The MC asked her for her name and she went 'Kyary Pamyu Pamyu desuuu~~~' I thought to myself 'What's with this fella!!!!' I had such a shock!" lololololol.
Ryo'd never heard of her. "Shall go home and google her tonight. :|"

Edit: Damn, just realised that she's of the same age as some of my students this year. That explains a lot of things.



Anyways 11nin mo iru! is so good, people. ♥

So ゾロって７ the new corner they did for the Shiwake SP yesterday was rlly, rlly fun. LOLed so hard omg. All seven of them gotta give the same answer to three consecutive and progressively difficult questions in order to win the game.

Qn： "What would be the representative chemical symbol/formula that comes to your mind?"

Hina: CO2
Ryo: H2O
Tacchon: H2O
Maru: CO2
Yasu: O2

Yoko: π

Subaru: 元r2



If i ever have kids one day i'll make sure they study hard in school and know the difference between chemistry and mathematics............and kanji. /weeps
I'll make sure they learn their spelling properly too.

That aside, Ryo in Zenkai Girl = ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WHY SO CUTE, SOUTA? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
Was hoping for K8 ED song to be something upbeat like It's My Soul (my boom song these few days)... It's not but it's still a sweet song, and would probably grow on me. :3

SMAP→Singapore

Everytime we drove past mbs i always had to comment to my friends how hideous i think the building looks.
................Okay i still think the building is hideous BUT YAY, RLLY LOOKING FORWARD TO MY STAY THERE IN AUG NOW \:DDD/

EDIT: AND OH you might as well watch smap dance to the maru maru mori mori song too. XDDDDDDDD

.....LOL TAKUYAAAAA. ♥

...I finally made something for my profile page. \:DDD/ I'm loving everything about My Home - the song, the PV, the booklet scans, the coupling song Baby Moonlight... Everything. ♥ Yoko kind of did.........HORRIBLE on MS, but i do feel it makes it special for the three elders of the group to be the ones to start off a song called My Home, instead of the usual, "better" members lol. And i am still looking forward to their perf on next week's MS. The making-of is very simple this time with a lot of footage of the members doing up the room used for the PV, but they looked so engrossed in all that painting, nailing, sawing and doodling, i loved it.

I am recommending Green boys by GReeeeN, a very heartwarming　応援 song they made for the earthquake victims. The free download of the song is the first of the two-parter Green boys Project they've initiated.

"僕ら何度でも 何度でも 立ち上がるから
大きな声で 笑いあえる日のために"

My most hated word is 退会　退会
My favorite word is 入会
What a lovely sound 入会
In comparison the depressing word 退会 退会

My favorite word 入会 入会
Why is the sound so lovely 入会 入会
