LOL x)
I kinda have an idea h...(Whoa...whoa boy...) LOL x)<br />I kinda have an idea how much you enjoyed that anniversary concert---I don't think you would sit through it 3x if it wasn't packed with the Arashi-goodness that made you love them in the first place (*jumps off horse and performs heimlech maneuver on jicks)<br /><br />Speaking of Tanaka Koki's features, I think you might be on to something. Now I wonder which band members hugely benefited from it...<br /><br />Finally got around to watching Kame's World Big Solo... wtf, I guess vampires really are in vogue. Funny how they started it off like the Thriller video with Kame in a sweater being accosted by vampires. Rofl, so he gets himself some fangs, feeds on Juniors and gets in a coffin and performs a magic trick. Wow, will wonders never cease? Now if only he could sing underwater, I bet he'd also pull an old Houdini trick.zooeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816966615501675071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015492527867202794.post-63874493384368056222011-01-28T21:59:03.747+08:002011-01-28T21:59:03.747+08:00@zooey
(Hold your horses) I, er, really enjoyed th...@zooey<br />(Hold your horses) I, er, really enjoyed the 5X10 concert so to hear a "non-fan" send out some props about those boys is kinda validating ;) I think there was one or two moments when Nino actioned some grappling activity but, hey, it wouldn't have felt "right" otherwise. All in all, I think it was kinda a classy anniversary act *chokes on Arashi uchiwa*<br /><br />I have a strong inclination that Koki's alienesque features had probably been designed by Johnny K to make one or two other band members appear more good-looking^^; lol j/ks.<br /><br />@E.G.<br />Deary me, that PV is golden! Thanks so much sharing! (lmao at Ueda's hair^^; And omg, it looked like Dracula Kame was spitting out blood at 1:09 O_o) To tell you the truth, I could barely even tell when the Japanese stopped and the Engrish started, had you not kindly pointed out the timemark I would've been WTFing all night long.jickshttp://candyme.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015492527867202794.post-50043314866675904612011-01-28T10:33:35.225+08:002011-01-28T10:33:35.225+08:00@ jicks
agree with your comment that it's not...@ jicks<br /><br /><i>agree with your comment that it's not crucial to be super good-looking (at least not in the classic, conventional sense,) you just need to have the X-factor (Johnny K can pay to have everything else "fixed" lol j/ks ^^; Ahem </i><br /><br />My gosh, they really are strange creatures... and they keep on evolving, at least in terms of looks. They all looked so different 8 years ago. Lol on the "fixed" comment. Can't help but imagine a team of "beauty experts" examining each new recruit, handing out a customized a makeover program for them. <br /><br />First time I saw Koki, I couldn't believe he was an idol because they really did a number on him--super thin eyebrows, bulging eyes and shaved head-- and I thought to myself how this guy was forever doomed to play the comic relief or the weird sidekick. Tsk tsk poor boy. I bet he looked normal before he signed up for this gig, for one, I don't recall him looking as scary dancing behind Tackey. <br /><br /><i>Arashi rainbow happy pills</i><br /><br />Would you believe that I used the same words on my draft post for the Arashi 5x10 concert? Haha! Glad to know that my impression of the said group isn't far off from a true fan's perception. Have to admit that after surveying a number of JE concerts, I have a newfound respect for the said group. Their anniversary concert wasn't as gimmicky; yes, I reckon it was expensive, but it turned out to be very clean compared to the others I've seen. <br /><br />Oh and I'm with you on the joys of hearing weird syntax, it's kinda funny how things are directly translated to English.<br /><br />@ E.G. - Oooh, thanks for the link. I remember watching this part of the concert and asking my sister for the lyrics of this song. For my part I heard, "shize-naba-lu-baku...warabayu...eh" and I kept thinking, "hmmm, interesting vocals, they look so fired up...but wth are they singing?" <br /><br />Crazy times.

So the whole time I was hearing "shize-bada-bada-bada-bada... shize-bada-bada-bada-bada" and it made me go "eehhhhhWTFWTFWTF???" until I finally Googled the song and realized that the English lyrics were, in fact, "She said never look back / She said never look back / She said never look back / Whatever you face..." <br /><br />L-M-A-O *fond tear*<br /><br />http://pann.nate.com/video/214392358Ender's Girlhttp://endersgirrrl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015492527867202794.post-85015321064061313222011-01-21T19:29:25.129+08:002011-01-21T19:29:25.129+08:00lollol Scrolling down your post, I was in total hy...lollol Scrolling down your post, I was in total hysterics of two different kinds: [1]from laughing at your breakdowns & checklists describing the crazy world of being a JE boy; AND [2] sheer fear of the pics (Oh it's Dracula Kame, yikes!)<br /><br />lmao Koki scaring kids comment. So true. But agree with your comment that it's not crucial to be super good-looking (at least not in the classic, conventional sense,) you just need to have the X-factor (Johnny K can pay to have everything else "fixed" lol j/ks ^^; Ahem.)<br /><br />Well, I have to say I've never sat through an entire KAT-TUN concert in full (I usually FF through to the parts when *a certain someone* is doing something interesting) & after your report, zooey... I'm not sure if I ever want to- sounds more boundary-pushing than their PVs. I'm thinking it's much better to stick to my PG-13 Arashi rainbow happy pills concerts xD<br /><br />Btw, it sounds creepy but I love it everytime I hear them use "dodgy English words." For some sick reason, it always puts a smile on my dial LOLjickshttp://candyme.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015492527867202794.post-86304496276594999332011-01-20T19:02:51.380+08:002011-01-20T19:02:51.380+08:00@ wolforion - You know I'm quite sure I have a...@ wolforion - You know I'm quite sure I have a copy of a JE countdown lying around somewhere but I never had the courage to watch it... the costumes kinda scared me away. (Lol) I do have to concede that some of the stuff they do is pretty entertaining in an I-can't-believe-I-just-witnessed-that way but most of them just suck at singing. I think part of the reason they put on a show is to cover the fact that they sing off-key or are just plain lousy when singing in public. :D<br /><br />Some of the music's catchy but then again, most of the stuff I know or are familiar with, are the ones featured in dramas---they catch on more because of repetitive listening. <br /><br />Videos---haven't tried watching a full KT video but one of these days, I'll try see one in full. I think I saw part of the video for Rescue and the latest one where there's just five of them and all I can say for now is that they have a lot of foreign extras in them.<br /><br />@ E.G. - You didn't see it because it was an antedated post. I think I finished writing the darned thing a week ago along with Sherlock. I'm still trying to finish up last year's posts. I'm hoping to wrap up part 2 and 3 of this JE expedition but I don't think I've recovered long enough to take another dive at the boy band pool. <br /><br />Furreakshow is quite an understatement. I'd have to agree that Arashi would be BSB... haven't seen enough of NEWS though to see if they could pass as N'Sync. Lol. But you're right about one thing---there is nothing out there that's remotely close to KT. I don't think Westlife or any of the other boy bands that came out and hit it big would dress up as pirates or would be as gungho about dispensing fanservice. <br /><br />As for Kame's solo, well, you probably already know how shocked I was since I texted you minutes after seeing it. I swear, my sister was laughing out loud and my brother's yaya literally did a double take--you know like a cartoon character whose eyes almost popped out and whose mouth was wide open. I bet I looked just as ridiculous.<br /><br />(d)!!! Hahaha, me too! I kept wondering how the Juniors felt.<br /><br />I'll get back to you about the World Big solo- wth, they inverted the words again on this concert promo. Well, at least they're pretty consistent, gotta follow up "Break the Records" with " World Big Tour"...zooeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816966615501675071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015492527867202794.post-21750797309450783882011-01-19T20:38:06.640+08:002011-01-19T20:38:06.640+08:00How did I not see this post before??? I don't ...How did I not see this post before??? I don't remember seeing this entry between your New Year's and "Holiday Buzz" posts???<br /><br />That said, this so RAWKS!!! Too painfully funny, ahahaha!!!! I'd post this in the KAT-TUN Love comm at LJ RIGHT NOW if only the mods allowed fake cuts (rats!)... ^^;;<br /><br />Heehee I appreciate your admirable commitment to objectivity, even in the face of the JE Furreakshow. Enjoyed your dry and witty analysis of the Jimusho Effect and the boyband/fangirl culture (see the sick symbiosis there? lol) of Japan. (And the NKOTB and Menudo analogies = totally! I suppose Arashi would be BSB and News would be N'Sync? Whereas KAT-TUN sadly has no counterpart -- in the West, or any part of the world.)<br /><br />I LOLd at your KT concert checklist! And everything you said about Queen Kame, esp. "misguided and gratuitous showmanship" => GOLD. I remember reading initial fan reports of the infamous 1582/Water Dance solo and the description was enough to make me want to vomit in my mouth. Therefore, I just HAD to watch and see for myself, lol. <br /><br />As for your conclusion... my answer would be (d)!!!!<br /><br />Btw, if your found the BTR solo "fabulous, outrageous and stupendous," I'd love to hear your thoughts on his 2010 World Big solo, assuming you're even going near it with a giant koumorigasa. =D Less specatacle, but 8374x more fanservice.

It is, indeed, a three ring circus and despite all those flaws, girls all over Japan squee and gush.<br /><br />I admit to liking some of the music of Johnny's boys, but find it usually not the best and if you ever watch KAT-TUN PVs, slightly disturbing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015492527867202794.post-11957629073638357392011-01-15T20:38:38.991+08:002011-01-15T20:38:38.991+08:00so sweet
