Summer Is (Almost) Over

Dramas are drawing to an end. Concerts have begun. Rock bands are touring.

It isn't like I followed a lot of summer dramas this year anyway. 'Tobo Bengoshi' worked fine for me to eclipse the disappointment of 'Tsuki no Koibito' and the frustration I underwent no thanks to Celcom Broadband not letting me download 'Unubore Deka'. I'm looking forward to next season's 'Reinoryokusha Odagiri Kyoko no Uso' and maaaybe will try out 'Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo'.

Domoto Koichi's BPM concert tour will move to Hokkaido this weekend so I predict audio rips for Saturday and Sunday are going to be available on Monday. Workaholic Kochan has a really tight schedule this year with back-to-back stages: Shock > BPM > Kansai Super Show (Seven Samurai) > KinKi con > next year's Shock!

Eek! >_< Who designed Kochan's costume??

Besides KinKi-san, I'm also anticipating NEWS and T&T cons because they've been absent for too long :)

Chemical Pictures is at this very moment at their first one-man live (Congratulations!), NoGoD are moving about at an extremely crazy pace and D'espairsRay are having their US tour. MUCC, on the other hand, is gearing up for their new album release (6 October wheeee). Oh and we can also expect a new album by abingdon boys school if I understood Nishikawa's tweets correctly!

2010 had a slow start with a few hiccups here and there for me. But I like how it picked up rather momentously since August :D

And October onwards (especially November) is surely going to be even moar awesome. *winks*

Pinku Ranger

Fatherhood suits will suit him. From the way he holds and consoles the kids, memang ada ciri2 bapak mithali. Cough. *nudges twinnie*

Sounds like dia nak ramai anak. *pokes and nudges twinnie some more*

Can't say the same for Yara though ^^;; [Arfah: "Yaracchi, we're the same..."]

Aah! *0* There's also a short scene from the 'romantic interlude' @ 02:00

Google Analytics Can Has Cheezburger

Apparently Google lists listed this blog as a result when people are searching for:

3. what does female fans think of hideaki takizawa new male only takizawa kabuki? [ 1 hit - Mar 22 ]

Hilarious! I don't even have the answer for all their questions xD

Oh well except for #3 which I can vouch for because I am EXCITED and anticipating Yara's 2nd second lead (yes, I meant it that way) which also happens to be his debut kabuki role and first butai partnership with Takki. Safe answer, yes?

I'm still waiting for misosiru's translation for Yara's jweb post about Takki. ;_;

In the meantime, while also waiting for Jyaniz Sleep Over #2 to commence this afternoon, I have THREE huge baskets of laundry to fold. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Butai Updates Make Me Happy

I nearly lost my calm Work Mode composure when twinnie told me sometime after lunch about Takizawa Hideaki and Yara Tomoyuki working together in the upcoming Takizawa Kabuki. Damn near cost me time for GSC updates because I was too busy spazzing with her. Hahaha. xDD

It's Takki's directorial debut isn't it? Was it his idea to include a raburabu scene between the two main characters? Teeheehee. Too bad we won't be able to go watch it live, Farah... but CAN YOU ALREADY IMAGINE HOW MANY TAKKI-YARA FLUFF WILL SPAWN FROM THIS? *rubs palms eagerly to convince self not to feel too horrid*

Misosiru translated updates about the news [here]. In a separate post she also mentioned about Koichi's mishap during the flying stairs routine. The rope hit his face aside from not getting to execute a few of the moves. Ouch. I hope he isn't injured badly. And yes, I stress my point here on that I will forever worry about his condition in SHOCK. Apatah lah lagi si Tsuyo tu kan?

Since we're still on the topic of kabuki, interestingly enough Yara had said this line either in his jweb or on stage: [ "Great efforts will definitely be rewarded!! Definitely!!" ]

I haven't an idea how Yara will cope with E SHOCK and preparation for T Kabuki all at the same time. Less free time but him being someone who just cannot sit down at home and do nothing... he'll manage, ne? Busy, busy man. Apart from receiving more work offers, Yaracchi has really improved a lot and I'm happy that he's happy regardless if this means he won't be able to commit to more MA-centric projects this year. Especially Koichi's solo con and the MA-MIX segments on SCP.

;_; but still ♥

Ssssspeaking of busy men, Sugizo has declared via myspace that he's overworked and will quit X Japan and be retiring soon then move to a small island in South East Asia. Nyeheh. Just kidding. As if, right?

Anyhow, actually he complained that his life isn't private anymore because he is holing himself up in the studio... writing -ohyeahbaybeh- NEW MATERIALS! YAY! So there'll be more iTunes singles which will be released once every month. Today's single, 'Prana', is absolutely delicious by the way ;D

Am slotting that review sometime with that writeup on Tokio's new single... Not sure when. Um yeaaah I'm still waiting for upcoming releases (DaizyStripper! wheeeeee~) so after that lorh.

MAS gone ANA-L

Goodbye, JAL. Thank you for the fond memory (and delicious food). [October 2009]

Now that they've gulung their tikar, there's no longer a cheaper direct flight route to Japan. Apparently Kuala Lumpur is just not important enough for Japan's biggest carrier company, ANA, because we have been scrapped off their flight plan. Ciskek. Damn MAS for being so expensive. I sure as hell ain't gonna fly with them. Not unless ANA's Singapore route is way too exorbitant.

Sigh. Here's to hoping I am sturdy enough to save A LOT of money for our next trip in 2011.

I find myself dreaming more and more lately. My brain processing is probably going haywire. Must sleep early. Yes, must sleep early. Time is now 12:59 AM. Huh! Oh well, another 30 minutes would hardly affect my mental state, no? Mwahah.

Yara has just commanded me to stay awake. This time yet again, my slowpoke self just learned that he had been showing up regularly at Shokura with THEYbudou (KinKi's newest backdancers). OMFG! Apart from his solo dance performance, they've also re-choreographed KinKi's old songs! Absolute win. Rawr.

1. Jounetsu no Hitoyo - Shonentai sorry, can't embed here but daaayum is Yaracchi hawte or whut?

2. LOVESICK - KinKi Kids



3. Seppaku no Tsuki & Misty - KinKi Kids he should dance more with them, and not Kisumai -_-

Yara's singing has improved! *O*

MUST. DOWNLOAD. BWAHAHAHAHA.

Time now... 1:28 AM xD

[edit] Ooooh what's this I found? An old Music Jump clip with Yara. I feel Tonisen's awkwardness. Haha. Just look at how jambu Tackey, Tsubasa and Yara were x___x

Welcome Back, Yaracchi!

Ish verrrry happeh to read his name in the same paragraph as Yone, Macchin, Tsuyo, Koichi and the word 'concert'.

Yaracchi mentioned in his Jweb about his new hairstyle for J Con, and from misosiru's translations it made quite an impression on the audience. MWAAAAH I cannot wait to see pics/fancams but anyway, he's now back and safely ensconced in KinKi's arms. Yay! Machida and Yonehana, please tie him up so he won't run away anymore! D:

Also, the above link has a surprising fact as to why Koichi only appeared during the baseball match on last Saturday's sports day. Johnny-san had to call him up because he was still sleeping! (KinKi prolly started rehearsing already)

Maybe the reason Tackey became captain was because of this as well? tsktsk

Sleepless Nights

I definitely owe Roy (スゲぇよ! (≧∇≦ ) 本当にありがとう!) his due of chocolates, big time. Thanks to Ah Roy, I now suddenly have 20 Gigabytes of KinKi Kids': shounen ai, complete PVs, mostly complete discography including solo stints, Font de Anniversary concert which I've snailpaced-ly been downloading from CB, random episodes of unsubbed Domoto Kyodai, random performances and even random interviews. Mwaaahahahaha.

There's also another 20 Gigs containing spews and spews of yaoi random SMAP, TOKIO, V6, Arashi, Tackey & Tsubasa, NEWS, Kanjani8, Hey!Say!Jump and KAT-TUN. Notice the order? :P

After robbing his Johnny's Entertainment collection off his HDD, I even snuck out some B'z albums for twinnie. Shhh!

So now I'm spacing out at the list of videos and albums trying to organise an orderly categorisation of what AND WHO I should first watch and listen to. And woah am I failing or whuuut... If only I could take days weeks a month off work to finish all these up.

ZZZ-less sleepovers, anyone?
