Ride With Me Making Of Commentary

After seeing the short pv of RwM I was preparing myself for the worst. I had no confidence that I could watch the full pv without screaming or arm flailing or sobbing  tearing up. Yup, I was right. I was a hot mess and then Inoo had his solo shot and I became a hot blob of feels. I'm absolutely sold that this PV was flawless. Maybe I should have given the Best PV award to RwM...(I didn't see the full pv before that post, so it wouldn't be fair to give it to them.)

So before I saw the making of, I knew that I was heading towards a feels danger zone.  Everybody looked so good and their dancing was so cool and the set design was awesome. XD

BTW You can watch the Making of at Yabu Kota Facebook. :D

>w< Isn't Yuto cute? Answer: He's always cute even when making weird faces.

Yuya sitting all cute and stuff. Yutti being all tired and stuff. 

Hikaru and Inoo teasing Yamada. They were like Chip and Dale. Stop, Hikanoo! Actually don't stop it. Hikanoo for life! 

PEACE! (Random bursts of energy from Dai-chan are always appreciated.)

Yuto: I'll give you my love.

Keito: Stop it! Your love belongs to me only.

Yamada: Eh? If you don't want it, I'll take it. 

PEACE!! Daiki has a "Get out of my face" kind of face, lol.

Yabu and Inoo's definition of cool. Lol, they cracked me up! Inoobu's always so adorable! :D 

KEITO, YOUR HOTNESS IS SHOWING. It's always showing but this is too extreme. I can't deal with your beautiful hair and your unbuttoned shirt and your rolled up sleeves. Someone hold me while I cry because of his beauty. 

Ugh, Chinen. I love your new hair and your smile and just you in general. Already 20 years old and you're looking so good. 

Hikaru's probably thinking of making up for that time when he bullied  teased Keito during Jumparty 3. Hikaru was all over Keito. AHHHHH STOP IT YOU TWO, I ALREADY HAVE WAY TOO MANY SHIPS. Also, Hika's hands are so pretty. Many people say his hands are too skinny and his bones are showing but I love them! The way they're shaped after practicing bass too much....^^ 

There were way too many good points in this video. One of things I noticed was that Takaki and Yama were looking especially tired  I felt bad that they were so sleepy. Get some good rest, boys! But their solo dances were the best, in my opinion. Their moves were sharper and more expressive. XD

Overall, I felt like this was a good behind the scenes. The shooting was long but it was worth it! When the subs come out, I'll enjoy this even more~

Ride With Me~

Jump performed their new song, Ride with me, at the Best Artist something something show. (lol I don't remember the name of the show).

Surprising I didn't like the song at first. I felt like their voices were too sweet for this type of song and the incorporation of dubstep elements was weird. It just didn't blend well together. But the more I listened to the song, the more I liked it. (Now I can't get enough of it!)


2013.11.27☆JUMP ・ Ride With Me by ichigocherry

Here are some of my semi-incoherent thoughts of their performance:

• The. Dance. Is. So. Good. I love it so much more than Bounce. I love the holding-an-invisible-ball-while-moving-their-hips move. Sorry for the bad description. XD
• Their outfits! Yes, yes! A million thumbs up from me. 
• Awesome rapping. More of that in their future songs please.
• Dai-chan was so into the song. He was the star of the performance. That boy stole my heart (multiple times). 
• Yaotome looking like a badass. (Also, loving his dark hair. Him and Yuya look great with dark hair!)
• Yamada's English lines... I think I replayed that part at least 10 times.
• Yutti's scarf was distracting.
• Keito finally getting a line. FINALLY! (He sported a spiky hairstyle....nice!)
• Yabu looking like an angel. No surprise there. :D
• "Can you ride with me?" YES, YOU BET I CAN! 

Of course, I couldn't forget Inoo. (There's no way I could). 

Inoo had one close up that lasted literally 1 second. And let me tell you that 1 second was all it took for me to melt. He was so cute. Gosh, my screen cap does not do him justice. His smile is the epitome of adorableness.

I was a hot mess after watching this. I'm so glad they have a new single and are moving away from the Coamh image. I hope they keep on releasing new stuff on a somewhat regular basis.

P.S. I will continue my "celebrate Jump's new single by blogging everyday for a week" tradition. So Look forward to that! :D

It's Time for a ... Shokura Review! (November 6, 2013)

Whoaa. I haven't watched a full episode of Shokura since... JULY! O___O  For the past few months, I felt like shokura was getting less interesting but after watching this episode, I was like " THIS IS WHY I WATCH SHOUNEN CLUB!" It's just so much fun, I feel like the dances, song choices, transitioning, and everything about the show has improved.

First off, can I just say that Shori makes some of the most adorable faces!! I tried to make an emoticon out of his face.....does he look like it?! Well, Kind of....



The theme of the episode was color (or colour....Sorry it's the Canadian in me). Keito and Yabu were the hosts and oh dear, Keito was so good looking and Yabu was looking at Keito so sweetly. Kill me slowly now feels. 

Moving on, we had tons of great performances. Some juniors made mistakes a few of the dances but it's okay. Their performances were great overall. Everyone had so much energy and it really showed. Might I add, there was quite a bit of fanservice. Whoever was filming the show had something in mind, let's just leave it at that. There was that moment between Kento and Jesse...

Omg there was a dance game where they had to dance for exactly 30 seconds (without a watch of course!) and whoever was the closest won. They all amazed me as most of them landed very close in the 30 second range. But the person who amazed me the most was Jinguji. He should have won for his "crying" face. XD Gorgeous, let me tell you. 

Moving on, Casey Anderson did a magic trick and I still can't figure it out! He's good!!! He let Totsu and Fumito chose a card and immediately knew which card it was. I think he was doing something when he turned his back to them. 

Last but not least, we have Noon Boyz doing something with Fumito and Tsuka. I never really had an interest in Noon Boyz....I just kind of knew them. But the HUG!!! That hug made me switch into my inner fan mode. I'm really curious about Yuki now, he's adorable and reminds me of Daiki.  

Side Note: I'm glad to see Juri's not gettting pushed back. He rapped a bit in the beginning of the show and seems to be doing ok. Also, I feel as if Kento's going to be the next big Johnny's star....but that's just me.

It's Time for a ... Shokura Review! (July 10, 2013)

Hello! I couldn't find the time to watch the first shokura ep for July. T^T But! I'm doing a review on the second episode~ Haha, if this continues....it seems like I'm only doing reviews for the one episode of shokura per month. Anyways, let's get on to it!

First of all, let me say that Shori is growing up so fast. He's made this cool puppy face...How is that even possible? But only 3 of SZ performed Game. :(

After, there were some cute Jrs from Twenty Twenty. They were all pretty young and one of them did a backflip! (He's in the first year of middle school, I think) It was amazing though I didn't take any screencaps. Also, there was a different kid in Twenty Twenty who sang really well. It reminded me of Matsumoto Kouhei. I really should learn their names.

And then... this happened. Junta was talking in Taiwanese and they were supposed to act how they would respond ( I think?).  Things escalated quickly. XD

I don't really listen to older Johnny's songs (or older groups in general) but this cover was really good! I want to hear more now~ Uchi + various Jrs sang pretty well together. And the stage was pretty. The audience and their penlights were also really pretty!!

Then, there was Hashimoto Ryo showed up in Jr ni Q. (Thank goodness they showed his name in English!) He's the same age as Marius. I kind of felt a "Inoo" vibe from him....lol He seems like the easy going type. 

yukirepipi

And hohoho, Fuma performed a really good solo! The video above only has the audio....Be sure to watch him dancing as well! ^^ I can't tell you how much I love that synthesizer! It's a really nice beat. 

A.B.C.z were pretty good hosts but oh my goodness, Fumito's laugh just killed me. XD Seriously!! I kind of miss seeing my fav group but Shokura is supposed to be about the juniors!! I'm glad there were lots of interesting performances. I'm really enjoying the short Shori corner at the end of each episode. Shori, give me one of your uchiwas too! 

COAMH Full PV Commentary

Why, hello there. Are you ready for some more of my crazy-ass bolded absuive capslock comments?
^^;; I tried to keep calm about it but when it comes to JUMP, there is no calm....there is only MADNESS.
Ok, let's carry on from where the short PV ended.

First we have Yama-chan getting a phone and going "WOW!"

WOW IS RIGHT~ Ikemen desu ne...

Sorry about my timing. Well this is due to my horrible timing in taking screen shots.

At least you have a wonderful picture of Yamachan yawning and still looks beautiful. XD

 CORRECTION: JUMPING GIRLS AND BOYS ARE COMING!!!!

P.S. We come in millions... (at least I think there are at least a million tobikkos out there) >.>

OH. MY. GOD.

So shocked that Hika dropped his tennis ball. Yabu looks cute, as always. 

YES YUTO...BE WARY... 

Yuto looks scared here...probably because Yamachan agreed to letting the jumping girl to come over and Yuto knows IT'S NOT GOING TO BE JUST ONE PERSON COMING OVER. 

CUTE TRIO. 

Takaki's got the "OH NO YOU DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT" face.

Inoo's got the "SAY WHAT?!" face.

Daiki looks petrified. 

EHH???
Damn it, Keito. XD I wasn't fast enough, so now you closed your eyes. But Chinen's pretty chill about the jumping girl coming over.... 

Keito making the bed is honestly really heart-warming for some reason.

And he does it in one go. <3



KEITO GETTING HIT BY BALLS
...thrown by the mischief makers, Chinen and Yuto. Hahaha XD

CUTE ALERT. DAIKI ON A SKATEBOARD.

This is cute on so many levels.

Well, well, well. What do we have here? Some items look awfully familiar....Hmmm ;) 

*points to Chinen and Inoo and Yamada*

Also, Hikaru with the dog is really interesting. Why are you okay with dogs but not cats? XD 

Inoo's sleeping face is adorbs.

I'm sorry I can't help it that I have an Inoo bias.

IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS? INOO IS IN THE CENTER(ish).

*Does some serious flailing in my room*

YES! INOO'S GETTING THE SPOTLIGHT (kind of). 

But this is improvement. Inoo, if I haven't mentioned this before. Since you've graduated, I'm hoping you'll get more screen time and more tv exposure.

KEITO, PAY ATTENTION TO YUTO. lol

Yuto trying to do the cute heart hand thing and failing. At least they hugged it out later (didn't take screencaps for that though). 

DAI-CHAN, Stop wedging yourself between Yuto and Hikaru.

You're so cute. I can't even comprehend your level of adorableness. Yuto and Hikaru have competition in the position of niban. ^^;;

WHOAAA....HOLD YOUR HORSES, DAIKI.

He was so hyper, it was super adorable. Look at Yabuhika moving away from the hyper monster. lol

WHY PARDON MY INTRUSION~
Hehehe, if Jump welcomed anyone into their house like that......they wouldn't be able to refuse. 

My screencap skills are not at the level of an expert's. So I missed some great parts like when the arigatou costume or when Yuto and Keito hugged while jumping.

Last time I swear I used the word "cute" 123406839 times and now this makes it 10290453583958 times. Just kidding. But it's true that my comments are extremely cheesy. I apologize. At least I'm expanding my vocabulary...I'm using (variations of) adorable now.

P.S. Buy the single, it's worth every penny. :D 

It's Time for a ... Shokura Review! (June 12, 2013)

Well, Hello there! ^^ I haven't been blogging consistently, so I decided to change that. I'm hoping to have new posts twice every week. Good luck to me.

I've watched the Shokura for this week and it's really GOOD! :D It'd be nice if there were english subs because I don't understand anything. But alas, when a fan is deprived of new content, raw videos are the way out. I made a few screencaps along with some commentary. ^^ Enjoy!

Now... Are you ready for some HSJ bonding  fanservice?

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the Jesse/Hokuto pairing but THIS PERFORMANCE WAS AMAZING. It seriously reminded me of the good ol' Kat-tun days. They give off the same vibe. ^^ 

I really recommend watching this!! Jesse's intro is so good and Hokuto showcases his high pitch! (I mistaken one of the backdancer as Shintaro. Oops, goes off to find out that junior's name...) This is why I fail as a fan. =_=;;

ALSO, Shori has a new single! :D Here's to hoping that a new album's coming out soon.
(But where's Sou and Marius?) They've been absent A LOT.



The quality of the videos don't give the performances justice. I also enjoyed A.B.C-Z's new song and Jump's COAMH! Everyone's so happy in this episode~



This episode was very solid....and very enjoyable if you are a shipper of sorts. I'll be looking forward to the next one!

Come On A My House Short Verison! :D

Yes, I know you all probably have watched it already but...

COMAH PV (hd) IS OUT! I was in tears when I saw this (I'm not even sure why...lol)
Maybe because Inoo and Keito got much more screen time or maybe because Yuto looked so adorable holding that dog or maybe because Chinen looks really good in a suit or maybe because they look so happy.
Here are some gorgeous screencaps and my abusive capslock comments:

AWWW KEITO, SO FRIGGIN' CUTE!!!

OMG YABU, YOU ARE SO CUTE, hug hika like that too

CHINEN JUST SLAYED ME WITH HIS KILLER LOOKS. Stop looking so good, you're giving tobikkos nosebleeds okay...

And is Keito reading an English newspaper? >u< It says "New India (Beaver?) park targets rising  (something something lol). 

YUTO, WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SO ADORABLE?

YABUHIKA MOMENT, Y'ALL-

Inoo, stop being so adorable. Though I'm EXTREMELY HAPPY you get more screen time.

"Meh." (AWWW SO CUTE)

I'M WORRIED TOO....*coughs* for the health of my heart *coughs*

If dancing with a spoon isn't the definition of cute, I don't know what is.

IT'S ILLEGAL TO BE THAT CUTE.

I said it and I'll say it again. IT'S CRIMINAL TO BE SO CUTE.

It is so hard to pause at the right time to screen cap all the good moments. ^^;; (Sorry for all the edits.. the more I watch it, the more screencaps I take). Okay, That should be the last of the screen caps BUT just wait to the full pv, then I'll really go crazy! XD

Apparently, they used a lot of  old costumes, props and other mementos. A lot of people have been talking about Yabu holding Arigato's costume, jump's debut scroll thing etc. It's not the best quality but you can see it in the zip preview:

I should probably talk about Kisumai and other JE groups soon....So it doesn't seem like my mind is full of JUMP because that's not true at all.....I think?
