Thoughtful post :D  
It's been online for less than a couple of hours, but lots of people have already criticized Gokusen's trio performance in China. They were off-tune? Hell yeah, it was a little painful to listen to, their voices weren't in harmony at all and they looked like some high-school band, but hey, they sang live, which doesn't happen with 1% of JE artists, not to say they also danced and it was their first time as one of the main guests on an important foreign event, specially Akito and Nakama, Kansai Jrs don't get that much exposure even in their own country, and suddenly they're put on a big stage in front of an audience that doesn't speak their language and, for the record, they were wearing formal suits instead of sparkling shiny costumes. The mood was more serious. 

This brings in the infamous "I'm not in the fandom for the music". Honestly, there are many artists who deserve higher positions in the sales list. Why don't they get them? Because they only sing. Take Dreams Come True concerts, they don't MC and if they do, it's extremely boring. Yup, their music is good. Singers have all their potential focused on, that's it, singing, whereas Johnnys must split it up between singing, dancing, being cute, funny and idol-like in front of the camera, playing instruments or doing back-flips, etc...They might not be as good singers as the other bands around there, but they're way more versatile. And, more important, there's a solid fandom. Albums, singles and playbacks are satisfying enough for me, there are some great songs which are musically rapped on concerts, but hey, I totally prefer having everything previously mentioned rather than beautiful, soporific or tasteless concerts. Not to mention all the LULZ and the FAIL. Perfect idols? No, thank you. 

So, yeah, Akito, Nakama and Takaki, congrats on having such important influence in the showbiz outside Japan and making the audience scream. 

About idols having boyfriends/girlfriends )

Lol, tl;dr.

Writer's Block: Choose a Power  

i. First of all, my computer tower died. My father went to buy a new one the following day, it's faster and has 500gb, but it comes with Vista. I want my XP back :( Anyway, thanks to Tego I'm not gonna lose all the stuff I had, we're gonna take out the three old harddisks and use them as external disks. I don't have any music in the new computer so I'm surviving on Youtube. I don't have Photoshop neither :( I need to draw :(

ii. I've been watching more H!P subbed videos. I really cannot watch Music Stations 'cause, uhm, HALLO LITTLE SHOON AT THE BACKGROUND. HALLO MATSUJUN. HALLO *insertrandomJohnny'sname* :D

iii. I watched Spain vs Italy on TVU 'cause the TV is three rooms away from the computer and I'm bored if I'm not doing at least two things at the same time, I mean, if I just sit on the sofa and watch the game I grow tired of it really fast, but being here I can minimize the screen and watch it while I read fics, see pics or whatever. Back to the point, it was an English/American channel, I don't remember, and the way the hosts pronounced the players' names was too funny. Specially Cassano, which always became Kusano and I was like WAIT WHAT WERE D:

iv. Watched Ai Ai Gasa Making of. Massu's Edo Harumi's gag FTW. I might have regained interest in those two. NEWS fandom has been so sad lately :( No member-ai, no remarkable appearances, no crack...Not being a fan of Yamapi and Ryo doesn't help either. Now that I think about it, I don't think I'd be a NEWS fan if it weren't for Tegoshi and Massu. Also, I don't think Tegoshi would be my favourite Johnny if it wasn't for Massu and vice versa. That's why Tegomass releases always make me feel so warm and happy :D I hated the PV the first time I watched it due to the lack of interaction between those two, but the Making of, even if it wasn't specially thrilling or spectacular, changed my opinion. I don't like spectacular things like concerts, I just want the boys being themselves and goofing around. That's why I always focus more on the behind the scenes than in the photo session itself, it's good and artsy, but kinda unnatural. Oh, Massu's "Touch me" in the end FTW too.

v. I'm downloading Ya-ya-yah TV shows. All of them. Plan to watch them non-stop this summer. I know I'm gonna cry and be completely emo at some points, but I also know I'm gonna laugh and squee with all those kids. Watching them grow is gonna be so interesting. I'll probably develop strong caring bounds towards them, which doesn't really make much sense because, uhm, I don't know them? But I couldn't really care less about that. More than Ya-ya-yah forever, I feel like Hikaru, Yabu, Taiyou, Shoon and all the others who got lost on the way Forever. Recently I read an interesting post over Irea's blog, I strongly recommend it to you guys.
 

Tottsu: "I think some of the fans may have worried about what's going to happen to A.B.C.... What I hope everyone can keep in mind here, is that A.B.C. is not "4 as one", but "4 individual people who have come together".


That surely made me think a lot. Tottsu's right, sooo right.

That said, I hope Taiyou's having fun as a normal high school student. That pic from their school trip is probably one of the best I've seen of him. No make-up on, no hair stylists, just a random, spontaneous, pointless pic, with a funny monk, pretty and cute girls around, and Hikaru next to him.

And now, 

Writer's block :) )

The only TV show I watch :D  
Once again, a JE-related video on today's Sé lo que hicisteis (I know what you did, comedy show).

Lol, they dubbed it as "Come on Son Goku!" "Fuck you!"

I'd like to know who's the person who keeps on sending JE videos, they've already showed three or four :D :D :D

Oh, and they knew they were Japanese, +1 point!
