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....

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.

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 and were tried to be sexy.

It's a beautiful time to be a Jumper. XD

Who's This Man?

Do you recognize this person?

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.

Lookin' 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!

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:

1. Introduction - Arashi's Era
2. The Culture of Johnny's Entertainment
3. Before Arashi, focusing on SMAP
4. Changes in Arashi's PVs - Before the big break
5. Changes in Arashi's PVs - After the big break
6. A comparison of the members of Arashi
7. Arashi members as they appear on variety shows
8. Arashi in dramas
9. Arashi in concert
10. Arashi and J-Pop
11. Arashi and K-Pop
12. Johnny's Entertainment post-Arashi
13. Overview on the Era of Arashi
14. 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.

In other news, Yuma got his own page...which means more activities for him   it's easier to see what he's up to! Not a major fan but glad to see that management's not tossing him to the side. I haven't heard High Five yet, I really should do that.

(Look Here!)

Also Ryuu got into Tamagawa University, which means he's probably not returning. This was the closure I needed. Congratulations, Ryuutaro Morimoto, for graduating high school! I really wish you the best! I'll probably make a post about my feels later. :P

I've been getting into Kanjani8 these days! Enjoy their verison of Born This Way....it involves lots of silly dance moves. Maru slays me. XD

NEW SHOWS FOR V6, KISUMAI, AND MASSU! + Arashi's New Song "GUTS!"

Just a quick update! But first, article links:

• http://jenewsdaily.com/blog/2014/03/19/v6-new-show-amazipang/
• http://jnewseng.wordpress.com/2014/03/25/kis-my-ft2-returns-as-asst-director-for-new-kisshama-series/
• 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! 

55TEGOMASU

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

Johnny's Here We Are·

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.
