It's be, like what, 3 months? I just haven't been in the habit of blogging and now that's school's started...I have been so busy. Not only that but I kind of haven't been following the fandom as much. Don't get me wrong, I still know what's happening and heard different kinds of rumours (cough, takaki). But I haven't felt as excited as I used to be. Is this the slump that every fan faces? I'm sure I still love JUMP a whole lot but I need some time to figure out what I want to do. This fandom can be sometimes unhealthy and maybe some distance will do me good?
I don't know if I will continue this blog. Heck, I don't know what I had for breakfast this morning.
But I do know that I will continue to be a Jumper.
Whether I do continuing blogging or not, I'm really happy to have shared my adventures in the JE fandom with you. I was really happy when people commented, I was really happy to meet you all. So, thank you for sticking with me for this past year.
Maybe we'll see each other in the future? If not, I'm sure we'll be okei.
...
I had to use that pun just once more! XD

Arioka Daiki: The Chibi With The Big Heart
I hope Daiki doesn't get mad if I call him a chibi. ^^;; My first impression of Daiki was he was really good looking. He has this adorable baby face and looks so happy all the time. My favourite part of him (looks-wise) is his neck. You may be thinking WHAT! But I think his neck is really nice and just the right size in proportion to his face. (lol, I'm sure now some of you are judging me).
games.usvsth3
Besides my weird appreciation for Daiki's neck, the best thing about him is his big heart. Out of all the members in JUMP, I always thought he was the most aware of other people. He's always looking out for the members. I mean he can be a little oblivious sometimes but he notices changes in people at the important times. I guess this could be why he gets along with everyone. Takaki and Inoo weren't that close in the past and still aren't bffs with each other even now. However, Daiki's always had this impression he was friends with everyone. In the past, he went out of his way to make the other members more comfortable with each other. In interviews, he always talks about how he goes out to eat or shop or just do stuff with other members. Although he's especially close to Yamada and BEST.

Daiki may be one of the older JUMP members but he's still one of the silliest. He gets overly excited about certain things and is curious about learning things (yes, that includes entertainment gossip). Sometimes he's a little too hyper and careless. The way he reacted in Jumparty 1 was so childish and cute. And he's usually just fooling around in the Making-Of pvs.
I know he kind of has this image of being an angel because of his adorable face, sweet voice and happy-go-lucky personality. But in reality, he's a carnivore~ I read a translation from shimukendou on Livejournal, and it said he describes himself as being a "rolled cabbage". I find this gap to be very interesting.

He's expressed lots of interest in music and acting. So I hope he gets to continue to get more behind-scenes-work like producing more music for JUMP or do more rapping in their songs. If he's really passionate and keeps working hard at it, it'll become his strength. I'm sure that a talent like that will help JUMP even more. I mean he's crazy about music (particularly western music). He knows lots of artists that I never even heard about. Plus he's recently practicing being a DJ! XD
yu-ka-ma-chi
Keep staying ridiculously cute and ridiculously childish, Dai-chan! And keep challenging yourself to new things! And keep giving lots of love to the other JUMP members!It's so much fun shipping you and other members.
Only one more person left to go. (Okei, you can do this). It's taken me over a year to write a post about 9 members.

Jump becomes Weekenders~
Weekender is Jump's newest single and it's the theme song for Yamada and Daiki's drama, Kindaichi. I. AM. SO. EXCITED. FOR. THIS. SINGLE. Let's put Yamada's beautiful light blonde hair aside for one second. Weekender is such a great single. The song is 10x better than Ai no Arika. Everyone gets to sing. Everyone looks so happy. All is good in the world.
［JUMP 新曲］ ウィークエンダー Hey! Say! JUMP by KissTube
Onward with the screenshots. Of course, we have Yamada being all awesome and flaunting his new hair. It looks great. I love the change and seriously, let's face it. Every jumper's been waiting for this moment.
Yuto made Yabu smile. :)
The dance looks like so much fun. Yuto's about to fly off somewhere. XD
Yabu has this incredible smirk and it just killed my heart.
It's blurry but it's wonderful. Inoo and Chinen have the "O" face. Takaki and Inoo have their arms on each other. Yabu is literally the letter "Y". Hikaru's acting all cool and stuff. Daiki, Yamada, and Keito are posing. And then we have....Yuto. He's out of control. XD I love it when he's really hyper.
Have you seen Busaiku's new pv? I'm not even going to try to spell out the name. The video is weird. The song is weird. Where does Nakai get these weird ideas? @_@

Then Daiki starts rapping. He looks so cool, right? My screenshot abilities are out of this world. (Just joking). But seriously, his rapping skills have gotten better!

Silver Hair Yamada and Bald Chinen
Arama isn't dead anymore!! Which means more translations about the latest news!! Which means I just read that Yamada will star in a movie with fellow Johnny's, Ikuta Toma! ^^ Who's excited?! (Raises hand)
mypassionmyspirit001
There 3 majors things to be excited about!
1) Rumour is that Yamada dyed his hair SILVER?! (No pics yet so....we shall wait and see)
2) Yamada using a knife (Yamada's acting been lacking in the action department. I can't wait to see his fighting skills)
3) Bromance between Yamada and Ikuta
The title of the movie is "Grasshopper" and basically Ikuta's girlfriend gets killed and he goes on an undercover journey to find the killer and get revenge. He will meet Yamada (whose character's name translate to Cicada) and I don't know if they will become friends or enemies? Hopefully the first outcome.
This isn't going to come out until next year...so the wait begins. News from AramaJapan.
On the opposite side of the hair spectrum, Chinen has gone bald. Just kidding, it's a bald cap. It looks obviously fake though... >.> Got the news and pic from hana-des! :D
Also it's official. Yuto's blonde now. He looks so different?! He's in a speedo and he's blonde and he's so fit. It's an overload of feelings.
HSJ.yutonakajima
I don't remember if I showed this video before but it's still hilarious as ever. Yamada's a beautiful crier.

YUTO GOES BLONDE?! + YUTO & TAKAKI IN SPEEDOS + HBD INOO-CHAN~
Ok first things first. I have to congratulate Inoo on his 24th birthday! Actually I'm a bit late...I totally forgot his birthday. I'm terrible with birthdays, so I didn't even congratulate the other members. But let's put my epic fails aside, ok? ^^
Inoo, please stay as quirky and adorable as you are! Hope you had the greatest birthday and got to eat lots of delicious food. I hope you get lots of awesome jobs like the chance to host a variety show where you can eat all the food you want. You did say you joined Johnny's for food, right? XD I can't believe you're 24 now and you still look as cute as ever. Did Nino tell you some tips on how to look young? Lol.
There's a rumour going on that Yuto dyed his hair blonde for his drama about water polo. The photo is from tuantalizing. I read from asianwiki that the filming starts this month, so the timing is just right. It really does look like Yuto but the quality isn't that great...so I guess we will have to wait and see. Was it Hikaru who went blonde first? I don't remember but I know Yamada and Inoo have~ Maybe the rest of JUMP will follow suit!
Ok I'm always telling you people to be careful not to get nosebleeds. But seriously! This time, get a big box of tissues because there is a cm for Suikyuu Yankees (aka the drama Yuto and Takaki are starring in). It's just one single picture but it is glorious on so many levels. I know Yuto's supposed to look intimidating but he just looks like he's pouting. It's quite cute! XD It's so nice to hear his voice in the cm! Takaki is his rival, I think. So that's why he's wearing a different coloured cap.

I talked about Kisumai's Seven Journey last time and this week, the short ver. pv for 3.6.5 came out! I don't get the storyline at all. Kisumai is chased by a bunch of males and then they randomly using facial cream?! What The?! At least, it's more interesting than Seven Journey, both the song and pv that is.

Yabu Smokes?! + s3art Album Release + Seven Journey
I've done it again. Sorry, I haven't updated in a while. T_T Shocking things seem to happen whenever I'm away from the internet. Yabu's at it again...Well it's more like his previous scandal related drama is continuing. There's shocking pictures leaked supposedly by his now ex-girlfriend. They broke up last year....so this is old news? It's new news to me. @_@
You can see Yabu smoking and kissing. I'm pretty conflicted since he's an adult and can make his own decisions but he needs to be careful with who he can trust. He's still an idol, so he does have an image to protect. I'm not upset at him having a girlfriend or kissing but rather at him smoking. >.>
Anyways I've been getting my news from hana-des and tekito-love because Arama is dead and other JE fan sites haven't talked about it yet. You can read more about the situation there.
In other news, s3art was released!!! Yay!!! Finally!! A lot of fans have been waiting for more fabulous Jump music to enjoy and dance to and sing along to. This album is their most mature album yet. There's really cute songs like "Ready Go"and mature songs like "Forever". It's the best of both worlds. You have to watch the pv for "Forever" (it's basically footage from their concert). Their outfits are sooooo cool!
Still not in love with the flower print suits but the dance is adorable! >w<
Ready Go Hey! Say! JUMP by KissTube
Kis-My-Ft2's releasing their 3rd album soon (July 2)! I'm so stoked. Their past albums have been so good and I really am in need for more Kisumai songs~ Their pv for Seven Journey isn't as interesting compared to their other ones but the song is nice. I want to see more of their dance scenes but close-ups aren't bad either.

S3ART ALBUM COVERS + YAMADA'S DAD'S RESTAURANT + HSJ SPEEDO DRAMA + BE FREE
I haven't updated in a while, sorry! (It seems like I'm always apologizing for not updating, lol). Before I was in school, so I was busy. Now I'm working 2 jobs, so I'm busy once again. T_T My personal life aside, lots of things have happened in the JUMP fandom.
First, let's talk about the S3ART album covers. I really don't like the 3...it makes me cringe a bit. I don't think it's very smart to choose s3art. (I'll stop trying to be witty). The outfits are a step down from Ride with Me but better than the weird quilted ones from Come On A My House. And I don't like the design of all three editions.
I may not be a huge fan of the colour schemes they chose for LE 1 and 2 but the regular edition outfits look good. Inoo's colour scheme remind me of his outfit in Over. Yamada's floral print blouse and white blazer looks amazing. Keito's outfit also stands out. Yuya and Daiki's combination......Not as amazing. But that's just my personal taste. :/
ikemenwoabake
Next, I heard from hana-des who heard from hikarurin1412 that Yamada's father works for a Roast Meat Restaurant. I guess Yamada's dreams are now reality. He can eat all the delicious meat he wants for free! (just kidding....I'm sure he pays). But it wouldn't surprise me if Yamada's father slips him a few extra slices of meat. XD The name of the restaurant isn't mentioned but it is located in Shibuya. So for those in the area, see if you can find the restaurant~
(Ok so the picture below is not him at the restaurant...it's just a random pic that happens to have Yamada with a plate of food that may or may not be meat, lol.)
yamamorihsj09
I'm saving the best for last....(and I know it's old news but..) Yuya and Yuto are starring in a drama and the best part is....it's about water polo. Water polo = swim suits. Not just any swim suits, it's freaking speedos! @_@ Fans, you better watch out for any major nosebleeds. (Yuto is on a roll with his drama work, good on him!)

That's the last of the HSJ news... I'm leaving you off with a super amazing Sexy Zone dance. I can't believe I haven't seen it before!! (That's because I hardly keep up with shokura these days). Anyways, I'm in shock. When did my boys learn how to dance like that?! I feel like a parent watching their kids' major recital. They totally rocked that shokura performance. Their moves were so sharp and the dance was so exciting. Shori was a total superstar, Marius looked really cool, Sou had his own little dance solo, and FumaKen strutted their stuff. Everyone was into it~
Better watch it in glorious 1080 quality.

YABU'S GOT AN OLDER GIRLFRIEND!
Another scandal is in! Yabu's taken. He's dating an older girl and apparently has been living with her. I heard some sources say she's 26 and others 30. Either way, she's older than Yabu is. He's said many times in interviews that he likes older girls. \^^/ His dream came true!
Before I was conflicted on Jump dating but now I just want the boys to be happy. I think I've grown up as a fan, lol. Anyways, the only problem I have is Yabu's duck face. Stop that, Yabu....the duck face trend is over. XD
Here they are shopping supposedly after Jump's concert.
I really like this one. They're so cute!!!
I'm sorry but Yabu does not look good in this papa pic. Hahaha, he's still adorable.
If they are living together, it'd be easier for them to enjoy time alone. Also rumours say that he bought a dog for her. How cute can you be, Yabu!! And they are wearing the same type of shoes (Please tell me those are not crocs). I don't even believe this but another rumour is that Yabu will quit JE when he is 30. >.> I don't know about that....
Pictures from rorychan1215. Info from godaishiki
In related news, Jump is releasing their 3rd album and it's about time. FINALLY! What's interesting this time around is the new units. I found out from hana-des. Hikaru, Yamada, and Takaki are forming the unit "Kaitou Yellow
voice". Chinen, Yabu, and Yuto form "Night Stylish Person". Daiki, Inoo, and Keito form "Ai Oi Tai". I'm looking forward to Ai Oi Tai the most because both Inoo and Keito will get more lines. The two people in Jump who get the least lines are getting more chances to sing!!! I'm so happy for them.
angelpiink
Jump also announced a new tour....which means a new concert DVD!!! YES last year's wasn't that good so I'm hoping this one will be better. It better be since there are a ton of new songs and dances and outfits and stages. Can you tell I'm excited?!
Speaking of concerts, have you seen the pics of Jump's concert? Yuto kissed Yamada on the cheek and then they shared another "kiss". (Well the camera angle makes it look like they were kissing). BEST wore silly muscle shirts andwere tried to be sexy.
It's a beautiful time to be a Jumper. XD

Who's This Man?
hana-des
Because I didn't......(For a second!) That person is no other than Mr. Yaotome Hikaru!!! @___@ What?! How?! When?! Why?! His hair's gone blond, he's grown a bit of a mustache, and he looks totally different. It's for his butai or drama....I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure it's for his butai. Anyways, it's amazing how much he can change! Some people aren't liking his new look but it looks refreshing to see a different look for him.
yaotome hikaru fanpageLookin' fierce there, Hikaru.
In other news, I watched Inoo's drama. Inoo needs to work on his acting but it looks like he's trying really hard, so I'll forgive his adequate acting. The major problem I have with his acting is that his true personality and character flows through too much. That aside, I'm fangirling at every scene he's in. He's really adorable even though he needs more practice.
I realized I missed like half of Jump's birthdays and a bunch of other Johnnys'. Sorry I'm so bad at birthdays...Have a Arashi Friendship Test Video instead!
Friday 25 April 2014
A UNIVERSITY COURSE ON ARASHI?!
Yes, that's right. You too can study Arashi and related JE stuff at university.....You just have to go to Meiji University, which btw is the uni that Inoo graduated from. I think Koyama and Yamapi graduated from there, too.
takoyakineko
The course's outline contains:
takoyakinekoThe course's outline contains:
- Introduction - Arashi's Era
- The Culture of Johnny's Entertainment
- Before Arashi, focusing on SMAP
- Changes in Arashi's PVs - Before the big break
- Changes in Arashi's PVs - After the big break
- A comparison of the members of Arashi
- Arashi members as they appear on variety shows
- Arashi in dramas
- Arashi in concert
- Arashi and J-Pop
- Arashi and K-Pop
- Johnny's Entertainment post-Arashi
- Overview on the Era of Arashi
- Test
This is one course I would get an A in... For sure! XD
The next news is much more serious.... Just when they debut, a scandal arises! Ryusei Fujii from Johnny's West has been caught smoking underage! Apparently he was 18 and the legal age in Japan is 20. He was also drinking. You can clearly see the beer cans and you can kind of see the cigarette in his hand.
Bunshun claims he brought a women to a hotel, made her drink, and then sexually assaulted her. Since the timing of the article is just too convenient, I'm a little conflicted. But any sexual assault should not be taken light of. What will the police do? How management will deal/punish him?
This week's video is about Nagase. I love how two kids are terrified of him and how two kids don't even mind.

Hikaru Iwamoto Punched a Fan?!
twicsyThere's news that Hikaru Iwamoto of Snow Man punched a fan so hard, she needed surgery. Translations say that Johnny's HAS confirmed this. I actually remembered him from Bad Boys J and this is a really big shock to me. There aren't many details of the incident....so I'm not sure how far the stalking went or what really went down. I don't know whether this was self defense or anything but I'm really angry he used violence and the injury looks really bad and serious in the picture.This brings up the question of how fans should act and what things are considered off limits. Fans need to realize that this (Stalking) is illegal and need to respect the privacy of Johnny's talents...Maybe Johnny's isn't taking enough action to prevent these matters and educate juniors? Maybe the fanclubs should be notified about proper etiquette on a regular basis? I'm not very knowledgeable about their policies or protocols but I recall watching a video where JUMP and some other juniors were saying how important it is to be a proper and respectful fan. On the other hand, he shouldn't have used violence and I hope Johnny's doesn't brush this issue to the side.

jpopasiaIn other news, Yuma got his own page...which means

NEW SHOWS FOR V6, KISUMAI, AND MASSU! + Arashi's New Song "GUTS!"
Just a quick update! But first, article links:

- http://jnewseng.wordpress.com/2014/03/25/masuda-takahisa-gets-two-new-tv-shows/
So many new shows to feed my fangirl needs. This is good, very good. I'm not really into V6 but the premise of their show sounds interesting. Also, I can't wait to see Kisumai as ADs....I have high expectations for them. Congrats to Massu for not just one but TWO new tv shows. It's going to be great exposure for news and the shows are in good tv slots. Fans gonna be excited for their massu fix!
In other news....Arashi's new single is so unfortunately named. It's not "guts." but "GUTS!". It's for Nino's new drama and I guess it fits the theme of the drama. But the first impression of the song title I got was.....Why the heck is Arashi making a song about intestines?! Lol! It makes much more sense when I think of it in more of a "That guy's got guts!" kind of way.
Signing off with a dance tutorial from A.B.C.-Z.....I give it FIVE STARS! XD

Okamoto Keito the English Gentleman
When I first got into HSJ, I didn't really notice Keito. He didn't have much of a presence... (I'm sorry Keito fans please don't hurt me, lol). What I really mean is that he was always and even now kind of is in the backdrop of things. He usually dances on the side or at the back and doesn't really say much in the tv appearances. But as I got to know HSJ better and in turn, got to know Keito better...I discovered that he is a really sweet, gullible, and really innocent guy. XD
es.drama
Hikaru and Yamada seem to pick on him for various reasons like his dance skills. Well Keito might not a long junior history like the rest of the members but his hard work makes up for it. One of the first things that I remember about him is that he cried when he couldn't get the dance moves right. He said his stomach hurt during their practice to excuse himself and cried. He's gotten stronger but still is pretty sensitive...like the time when he cried after he and Yama fought. XD He's so cute.
YAMADA VS KEITO by letsayjump
His really straight forward demeanor is just so...it really makes you want to root for him. Even more so, when people just know him as the son of Okamoto Kenichi, which would be fine to some extent but it'd be better if he is recognized for his own talents. And Keito is soooo talented! He can play the guitar well. He's studying at Sophia University while juggling JE activities.
Eunice Inoo
Keito's known as the only member who can communicate in English and one of the few people in JE that can do so. (But sometimes his grammar is off and I don't understand what he's trying to say.) I do appreciate it when he speaks in English and hope he uses this skill more in the future whether in team or solo activities. He mentioned he could do English interviews (do I sense a future newscaster?). Also, it's great when he can communicate with fans overseas in concerts, HS7's radio program, and I even heard he responds to fan letters in English!I should write him one.
morimotolisa
The best thing I like about Keito is his kindness. He's kind to everyone!! Yama and Yuto seem to praise him on that quite a bit. Everyone in JUMP seems to tease Keito but he just goes along with it. Such a good guy, lol. XD
kamexd
He's talking a lot more and seems more at ease now. I think compared to the past, his personality shines through more in concerts...in pvs...in everything! He was always charming but I was late to realize that. :P Goes to show that there are always interesting things to discover about a person if you give them a chance.

HSJ at the Grammy's?! + Yuto and Nino's Drama
Edit: I found out that they actually did go to the Grammy's!!! 0_0 Whoa, that's so cool!
Ok I am a really gullible person. I believe things pretty easily...like with the fake photo of Dai-chan smoking and Miyata's so-called cheating on Tama. So I've become more skeptical. But I really want to believe that Yamada, Daiki and Yuto went to the Grammy's. They did go to the US for dance lessons around that time and it really does look like them!!!!
franceschinen
THIS IS FREAKING INCREDIBLE!! I'm sorry to hear that they were bored but....it is awesome they got to go to such a cool event. I can't tell who they sat next to but the fact that they could see awesome actors, actresses, directors, producers at such a close range is pretty sick.
I'm hoping that more photos will come up....what if they were in the background of some photos? Imagine they're just casually talking to each other behind Ellen while she's smiling for the camera. I think my heart would explode...I'm barely managing the fact they (possibly) went to the Grammy's.
HeySayJump
Also, I totally forgot about Yuto's drama, Yowakute mo katemasu. Congrats, Yuto!!! He has been in lots of top notch dramas...Glad to see his acting career is going well. :) Nino's in the drama too so this probably means Yuto will appear in Arashi's tv shows. It'd be cool if he guest stars in VS Arashi. (Keito's ex-girlfriend is acting in the drama, too!) Yuto will be a baseball player...Speaking of which, Kame's going to be a baseball player in his new movie!
Whenever I watch this Arashi video, I laugh. It must hurt but Arashi's balloon popping methods are too funny. Please enjoy! XD (Not sure if I posted this video before....lol I'm getting forgetful about which videos I've posted.)
Niea Triestine
P.S. Jump also announced their new tour!!! Yay, this means more footage and fanservice....and maybe new songs! XD

That picture of him and Yuto is from a concert but which concert is it from? Do you know if there's any video clips of it? Thanks! ^_^
I think it's from their 2012 concert....I'm not 100% sure but pretty sure it's 2012. The picture is from tumblr, (link next to pic). Maybe you can message the tumblr user for more information about the picture? Sorry I don't have any video clips of it but I hope this cute clip of Yamada and Yuto will make up for it. XD

Takaki is my ichiban in HSJ, felt love with his cute face in Gokusen 3 which lead me to dig more info about him. I'm looking forward to his new dramas and yes I'm quite disappointed when his line in 2 new singles by hsj is really short and for the concert last year he did not perform alobe with the live band, his voice is husky and sexy, hope JE will look this matter more.
Btw thanx for this writing
I'm glad Takaki has such caring fans! Yes, I hope he'll get to sing more in future songs and concerts.Btw thanx for this writing
His voice.....oh my goodness, it's beautiful. (They really should give him more lines to sing) And I love it when he laughs! XD I think he's going to get more chances to shine this year (JE seems to be focusing on BEST more now). We gotta hang in there.
Thank you for reading! :D
I'm back from Hiatus...
Sorry I left without mentioning anything... It's been quite a while! Well, you can probably guess why I haven't been able to post anything since the beginning of February. (No, it's not entirely due to my laziness). School has been super busy and I got into the habit of not blogging. That's going to change! I'm going to post more hopefully.
While I was gone, so many things happened:
Here's a funny video of Marius' face getting hit by confetti. Hope it gets a laugh out of you! :D
While I was gone, so many things happened:
- Jin left Johnny's?!!!!
- Ryuu graduated?!!! (plus other jrs...)
- Inoo's in another drama?! So is Yabu?!
- Yuto's long interview came out?!
- Some other things that I forgot... :P
Starting off with Jin (who I can write an entire essay about him and JE and their whole management relationship)... I was really surprised to hear the news. It's always been my impression that if you're a johnny's, you're going to remain a johnny's for the rest of your life. And that's really wrong of me to think like that. People want to do different things and sometimes that will lead to a break up. A good break up will help both parties become stronger and better people. So to keep things short and simple, I'm pretty excited to see what Jin does with his career (especially if it involves him going overseas and doing more collabs with other artists).
Ryuuuuutaro...Everyone's little hamster has just graduated high school. What will he do next? Go to university? Get a job? Take a year off? Return to HSJ? The questions are endless and I really wish the last option will happen....but that's not my decision. I just hope we get some news on him. If he doesn't do any JE activities soon after graduation, then.......that will be my final closure. T_T
CONGRATULATIONS TO YABU!!! I'm so happy he got a leading role! I've missed Yabu's acting~ He's going to be forensic scientist. The drama's supposed to be like CSI.
I like CSI. I like Yabu. How can I not enjoy this drama? XD (Lots of things but I'm trying to be optimistic here..)
Congratulations to Inoo! Who knew he dyed his hair for a drama? If that's the case, then I hope he dyes his hair more often... lol. I quite enjoyed his acting in Dark System. Not bad, Mr. Kei, not bad at all.
(Yeah, Yutti! You go kick those insecurities away!!) XD Yuto's 1000 character interview came out and seriously those interviews need a warning sign. "Before you read this, you might need a box of tissues and prepare your heart for some serious feels". Lol, I didn't cry but I was very touched by Yuto's growth. Everyone noticed when Yuto and Yama switched positions for the "coveted" center. I just never realized how much Yuto was hurting in the past because I always see him smiling and being goofy these days. My appreciation for him went up 10000 levels. >.<
Here's a funny video of Marius' face getting hit by confetti. Hope it gets a laugh out of you! :D

Johnny's West + Shitsuren Chocolatier
Hello~ Are you Best?
....
(If you didn't get that, it's an inside joke from the making of HSJ's new pvs!)
Ok nvm first things first! I just read never-ending-music-power's blog and....
81465971
Johnny's West is debuting as a SEVEN UNIT GROUP! Yes you read it right! It's Johnny's West, not Johnny's West 4! And it's 7 people, not 4. (I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be a 4 unit group...even though I didn't write about it, I secretly thought that something wasn't right about West 4). I'm sure the fans must be super happy about this news and now I'm even more excited about their debut CD.....because lately I think I'm turning into an 8er and I can't wait to see how a kansai group will change things up~
I'm ready to become a West-er? I don't know the name for JW fans yet... lol. (; o ;)
asianwiki
There aren't too many dramas I'm watching right now.....Actually if you count the ones I'm watching on a regular basis, it's just 1. Lol, nothing catches my eye or interests me enough. I tried watching Matsujun's Shitsuren Chocolatier BUT OH MY GOD, I have so many things tocomplain say about that drama. Let's just say Sota's 180 degrees character and Saeko's I-can-toy-with-you attitude is the main issue.
But as many complaints that I have, I also have lots of good things to say.
As usual, leaving you off with a super cute JE video. This time, it's Maru's turn!

- Shige is so hot.
- Ken Arai composed the soundtrack. When I heard that electronic beat, I had an inkling it was him. Discovered him from Ohno's Kagi no Kakatta Heya and his distinctive style made a big impact!
- Chocolate....I want to eat fancy chocolate.
- Did I mention Shige is so hot?
I haven't gotten a chance to fully appreciate HSJ's new single yet but from what I've seen or quickly glanced...the PVs look amazing. Especially Happy Life...It's like Coamh with an extra shot of happiness and rainbows. I'm glad that HSJ got a double single because it means more material to fan over.
As usual, leaving you off with a super cute JE video. This time, it's Maru's turn!

Inoo, Inoo, and some more Inoo + Dreamin' about B6
It's official. Blonde Inoo has made his debut....Goodbye black hair~
rorychan1215
Honestly, I don't really like it. But my opinion doesn't matter, it's his hair. Though I am happy that he's got lots of attention from his blonde debut. I'm glad more people are noticing him! And that's all I have to say about his hairfor now.
I can't deny I'm enjoying the wonderful Inoo pictures and gifs... >W<
mieyha
Also, I had a dream about Bakaleya 6.....It was so weird but awesome? Haha.
I was walking with Chinen, which is already pretty weird. He was so chill, it was like we were old buddies. Then he told me that there was a group that going to debut soon. So I immediately went into my B6 fan mode. I asked him if it was the boys from Bakaleya. He said he didn't want them to debut and then my hopes were crushed and I woke up. The end.

Platinum Blonde Inoo and his 10,000 Character Interview
OK SO THE RUMOURS ARE IN (again)! This time, fans said that Inoo has dyed his hair WHITE or GRAY or LIGHT BLONDE. At least we have a colour range this time. There's something about a mature hair colour and a fresh young face that makes for a cool contrast.
Look at my extremely bad attempt at trying to create a picture of white-gray-blonde haired Inoo. (People you should know my paint skills are only at a certain level, lol). Well, you get the idea.. Sort of. =P
And apparently Yama has blonde hair?! This is the perfect cue to bring back an old pic.
okonominikkiYES?! I'm kind of super excited for this. Rumours say that it's curly too.. I don't dig the perm on Yama-chan but I hope his hair's still healthy after all this damage.
Moving on, Have you read Inoo's 10000 letter interview? I was looking forward to this so much. Inoo opened up about a lot of things. He talked about his loneliness in high school, shortcomings of being a good son, and frustrations of being a junior.
I'm sure many people can relate to his high school experiences. Even though I had friends in high school, I never felt close to them or rather I never really opened myself to them. I tried to be someone I wasn't and that caused lots of misunderstandings. TuT In several magazine interviews last year, Inoo talked a lot about his university experiences and his uni friends. It makes me happy to know he's finally got that place outside of Johnny's he's wanted.
whidaAnd not just that, but Inoo kind of covered what Chinen brought up: even though they might be in the entertainment business, they have insecurities and hardships that people outside the industry will experience. Everyone struggles to find their place, their friends,and their identity. Which brings me to another thing...when people talk about the entertainment industry, the idea of two worlds comes to mind: the celebrity world and the other world, which fans and other people live in. It's come to my realization that this is just due to the different situations (like appearing more in the media and so on) which create this barrier. There aren't really two worlds, just one.
"Really, I want to live as myself. (laughs) I might not be accepted like that, but I don’t think about wanting to change myself. And if you can come to like me as I am, I would be glad. Because I would rather like our fans to smile when they look at us, more than I would like them to be moved." -Inoo Kei (Translated by hahaho7)
Inoo talked about how he'd get angry at his parents but they were still there for him. I'm glad he has this great support. :D Also, the fact that Inoo just barely made it into Hey! Say! Jump is a miracle. Just watching kids eat food on tv or talking to the president at the right time is a miracle. It's weird how little coincidences can snowball and result in a future we couldn't once imagine. But that's not to understate Inoo's hard work.
I'm looking forward to seeing new sides of Inoo (not just his new hair colour, lol). :)
