Hongo's Uprising

So a few days ago I visited the nana-nan.net site and they had an article featuring Hongo Kanata.
Reading that just reminded me days ago I've watched the B'z PV "Eien no Tsubasa" and "Seto Shokun".
After watching "Himitsu no Hanazono" I've actually went back and downloaded "Hinokio" (Which was quite some time ago) and looking back when he was still 15 (15? I thought he was looked younger than that in Hinokio) was shocking and comparing it to now. He is one of the many actor which was out standing during at a young age. But what gotten his popularity must be the popular movie NANA2.

So as his popularity is rising his fansbase include a variety age and nationality.

I was watching the B'z PV "Eien no Tsubasa" which Hongo was starring in. I think the only song I've heard from B'z was "Ocean" and I totally loved that song. Well anyway, I have no idea of what the song was about but I loved the PV. It gives a sort of sweet and sad feeling and Hongo really pulls off the kiddy/boy look even though he's only 17.

Then later I had watched episode 1 of "Seto Shokun" and I have a feeling that Hongo always plays the quiet type characters. For me the first episode of "Seto Shokun" sort of give me a feeling of Hongo as Hinata in the first episode of "Himitsu no Hanazono". But it might just be the first episode that gives me this feeling.

But I would love to see him acting as a loud and annoying character.

"FRIEND" PV

Just when I find the internet is boring because I have busted my download limits for the month so loading each page is so slow.
But it's always when my internet so slow then I find so many things I want to download.
So in this situation I usually save those links and wait until I have my limits back.
But I can't stand not seeing this PV. By reading the title you know what it is. It's Tachibana Keita's "FRIEND" PV.

I might not have mention it here, but seriously when I first heard the radio version of the song I don't really like it. I don't know why, maybe it's the high pitch "My friend, my friend" part at the start of the song.
But then when I heard the 1.27mins of the song from "BLUE DRAGON" opening I was like "OMG! This song is great!" *puts on repeat 100000 times*
Yes the song is great but I still don't like the "My friend, my friend" part at the start of the song but the clear version of the song brings me to liking it.

So the PV is still stuck to the Tachibana Keita style.
Guitar + band
There's really nothing to see apart from my awesome Tachibana Keita.
But still I think the PV was awesome because the song is really great.

I'm going to mention about his hair because lately his hair style is really a mess. First it was curly, then long+curly, then less curly+long+fringe split in the middle.
And about the fringe split in the middle, I know there's a lot of people don't like it but of course there's some who likes it. And I'm one of those who don't like it. So as you can see on the 2nd screen capture his fringe is split in the middle. But it's only that screen capture, the rest was kind of back to the side. Basically what I'm trying to say is he looked better.

One more thing I want to mention is his skin/face. Even though his face still looks skinny but his skin is in good condition meaning I can't see any pimples or whatever (maybe the make-up helped) and he doesn't look as tired like in the Hanamuke PV.

So as I mention at the start of the entry, my internet is so slow that I couldn't download this PV. So I only watched it once on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr0zLIqH8Js

My crazy drama adaption to AAA new PV

I have just watched AAA's new PV Kuchibiru Kara Romantica PV. Without understand the song lyrics and just looking at the video, this is my conclusions of the story.

My Conclusion:

Urata the night club owner.


The rich guest Nishi.


The beautiful Misako who appeared in the club.


The two beautiful club dancers Yukari & Chiaki.


The cool waitress Shinjiro.


And the two men Hidaka & Shuta who follows Urata in taking care of the club.


The rich Nishi felt bored while drinking the expensive red wine, even the two beautiful club dancer Yukari & Chiaki wasn't attractive enough for him.
Then comes the another beautiful lady Misako in the club. It's immediately love at first sight.


But unfortunately Misako is already with another man. And who is that guy? The answer will is the next cap.


Shinjiro: How dare you touch my girl! *Points the gun at Nishi*
Nishi: *Who the hell are you, she's mine!*


Nishi found out the truth that Misako is really with Shinjiro, but Misako doesn't like Shinjiro anymore.
Misako: Nishi, please take me away. I don't want to be here anymore.


Urata earned a whole lot of cash that he just throws it everywhere in his office.


Of course the night club boss got to feed his fellow members, so he gave some money to his two followers Hidaka & Shuta.
Urata told them to split them up in half and share.
But Shuta was greedy, he wants to keep all the money to himself so he hide the money. Hidaka found out so they started fighting.


The two beautiful club dancers Yukari & Chiaki gone crazy because they found a whole lot of money therefore they don't need to dance in the club anymore.


Where did all the money come from? Misako and Urata was on the same side, they gang up together and cheated all the money from the rich Nishi.
Why is Misako holding an gun? What happened to Nishi?

End of conclusion

I tried to adapt this PV and all dramas that I have seen. At the end this is what I came up with.
But all these things I mention above aren't real, it's just my crazy drama imagination, at least I don't the story of the PV is like that.

But this isn't the full version of the PV, I might have some more crazy drama thoughts after I've seen the full version.

Anyways, I must say I love this PV and it's definitely different from their previous PVs. Also the song is great. Although at first when I heard the song from Deligaku I wouldn't have thought it would look like this. But I'm happy that the PV ended up like this.

The great DANCE in Japan

Everyone knows that Japan has the great dance talent, there is so much dance crew that are from Japan.
Other than exploring some Jpop/Jdrama/Jmovies here, I also will be exploring the underground dance world as well.
This is my first post about one of Japan's great dance group U-min.

U-min is a Japanese 4 man dance group with some mad poppin skills.
They are very popular and have danced in variety of showcases & TV show.
To be exact they are a group which do Animation dance which is something similar to poppin. Even I can't tell the difference between animation dance and poppin.

I had a chance to see these 4 guys performing live on a showcase that was held in my country. But I didn't went to the showcase because that day was Chinese new year and I had to stay with my family.

Here is a performance that is worth watching.

Lack of w-inds. & Keitachi

As this blog was first created mainly for w-inds. & AAA but I have realise that I'm lack of w-inds. stuffs here. So that is why I'm posting some magazine scans here.
These are the ones that I found lately which are good quality.
I think Keita gotten a bit buff up lately, but he still looks hot, especially in this Arena 37c magazine here.

Arena 37c - 2007 May (Tachibana Keita)



Oricon Style - 2007 April (w-inds.)




CD Deta - 2007 April (w-inds.)

That is all for now, but will continue to post more later on.

Sneak preview of "To You"

We all know that Keita's solo photoalbum was released yesterday on the 19th April.
And we all know that the internet has the best sources in finding something which has just released or not even released.

So lets have a sneak preview of what it's like in this photoalbum.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J4EY2HX3 (Credit as tagged)

There's 22 photos inside this zip file and each of the photos is only 240x320 large. Also it look likes it's taken from a camera.

So what it's like in this photoalbum?
Keita posing in front of the camera in different places in Italy, some random photos, Keita and his guitar, some look-like tourist photos and some lying on the bed posing like in the Michishirube PV.

Ok, so it seems boring but I'm going to get it. It's a part of my collection and I hopefully can find it in Kinokuniya.

Filled with dramas

At the moment I have 5 Jdrama and 1 TWdrama downloading. Also haven't include the ones which are going to be release soon.
Luch no Joou, Stand Up!, Delicious Gakuin, LIAR GAME & Proposal Daisakusen are downloading at the moment and Seito Shokun & Hotelier are on the waiting list. Also Corner with Love the Taiwanese drama.

With this much dramas I think I'm going to get told off again for downloading so much.
But first of all I need to finish Lunch no Joou while the rest I'm waiting for it to release. Stand Up!! I guess I have to give up since the subber dropped this project and there's no way I can find this drama since it's old.

So what I watched in these two days was the first episode of LIAR GAME & Proposal Daisakusen.

LIAR GAME EP01
First of all this drama wasn't on my "the spring 2007 going to watch" list, without thinking much thought it would be similar to Kurosagi so I didn't pay too much attention to this. But after reading the synopsis at DramaWiki I'm starting to find this drama interesting.
Then after finish episode one I'm looking forward to the rest of it. Even Toda Erika plays a really honest and stupid character which get cheated all the time even though it sounds like a lie. But she's really pretty & cute.
Matsuda Shota, I guess this is his first drama getting the leading role. He's a great actor and I can't believe his whole family are actor/actress.
Really looking forward to ep02, I'm excited how he will get back the money for Erika.

Proposal Daisakusen EP01
Mainly watching this drama because Yamapi is starring in it. Although I'm not a fan of JE members, but in dramas they are ok.
So I thought Yamapi is getting marry in the first scene because the producer made it so like it. But it wasn't, the girl that Yamapi love is getting married to another guy.
And so Yamapi is so sad and it's the first time I see him smoking and drinking in a drama (wow, JE lets him smoke?).
So if it went on like that and nothing special happens I don't I'm interested in the drama even with Yamapi. But when Yamapi goes back to the past and tries to get the girl he likes, then it gets interesting. So I thought the drama will keep on going on in the past but Yamapi came back and didn't made changes. So there's more going back to the past later on in the drama. It's pretty predictable that he will get the girl at the end.

Delicious Gakuin Ep03

This episode is no fun to watch ><"

I just mean this episode has more talking than action compared to the previous episodes. Why is it no fun? Because I don't understand Japanese.

Katsuragi Shougo is so cool but mean at the same time. He keeps on being mean Rouma because he lost to him in the delicious battle last episode.

Since there's so much talking in this episode so I only can understand a little bit of it. Basically they accussing Rouma being a theif and somehow it got to the point where Rin VS Rouma in the delicious battle. I'm so happy that this episode has more Aiba and he's really cute in this episode. Again with his beautiness saying and beautiful, pretty, beautiful, pretty... I don't know what he's saying but I guess it's related to being pretty or beautiful.

Guess I really need translation.
Next episode will be Mathew Perrier VS Kitasaka Rouma!

2007 Summer Tour

The once per year summer tour for w-inds. have finally arrived. This year is like no different to other years. Vision Factory has officially announced the information regardless to the summer tour.
I assume this tour would be called "Journey" as they always have used their album names for tour.

Speaking of w-inds. tour, last year tour "THANKS" was a little disappointed for me. The reason was not because I have seen some parts of it before I got my DVD. The "THANKS" tour turned out to be a normal concert and didn't surprise me like in the other previous concert they had.
It just didn't make me go "WOW" or scream in front of the TV.
The most disappointing thing was they didn't have a dance bridge! Although they did some dancing during 1 or 8 but it wasn't classify as a dance bridge because it's not in the tracklist.
Another thing is the Message is a bit boring, because I had to read and it's long as well.
The most enjoyable part would probably be Hush...!, 1 or 8 & Sup Wassup!

Ok, this sounds like I didn't enjoy the tour at all. But other than the things I mention above, I REALLY LOVE THE TOUR!
I just hope this year tour will bring back the "WOW" thing to me.

Get Chu!/SHE no Jijitsu Single

I don't understand how people get this single so quick, but I already found the single of Get Chu!/SHE no Jijitsu floating around on the internet.
Both of these songs aren't that long around 3mins plus long.
Now there's only the full PV to be waiting *excited*
I want to see the full version of SHE no Jijitsu so badly. I'm so drawn in by their sexiness & wildness. But of course I want to see Get Chu! full PV as well *jumps around*

The Samurai Heart remix version sounds pretty good as well, except that when I put the song on repeat it kinds of annoyed me after a while. I prefer the original.

In order to collect the photo booklet, Get Chu! & SHE no Jijitsu PV you have to buy 3 copies of it. Avex sure knows how to rip money off the fans, but they did a pretty good job on it because it is very tempting.
