Wanna know what's going on? Yeah well, don't ask me for I don't know. Here's what happened:

Shintaro's Lotte CM, yesterday's Hyakushiki, all that and nothing more in todays blog post.

So, according to NHK's chief producer Inoue Keisuke “Kohaku usually only features the top sellers of that year. Arashi is always a best seller. And NYC has been having great sales even though they’re still new.” *

LOL, whut?

I have always supported Johnny Kitagawa and his strange decisions. Even when he killed Ya-Ya-yah and J.J.Express to create Hey!Say!JUMP I didn't whine about the loss but was happy about the gain.

In today's post: another School Kakumei / Arashi collaboration, plus: Snow Prince the full song.

(right here)

Okay, so the photobook is out. This post may contain spoilers. If you don’t want me to spoil anything for you because you’d rather wait for your own copy of the photobook to arrive you should stop reading now.
No seriously.
You should leave now because my post about the photobook is about to start.

Right after today’s YY JUMPingu Live Stage.

(which is under the cut)

How many more times do I have to tell you people: I like a boy who knows how to dress. One with a decent sense of fashion. One who doesn’t think that fashion for men is gay, even though it is.

The official Johnny's 2010 ~ 2011 School Calendars come in five different flavors and are now available for preorder from YesAsia. :D

First it was an idea, then it was a rumour, not it’s official: Yamada Ryosuke will return as freaky-eyed boy detective Tanaka Ainosuke for a full series of Hidarime Tantei EYE, Saturdays at 9pm on NTV starting in January 2010.

This must have been the most appalling, sickening and revolting episode in the history of Hyakushiki.

(you don't want to see this)

Today’s School Kakumei Live Stage was Venus, a collaboration between HikaYamaChi and TakkiTsuba.

No, this post isn't a rant about how some homophobe called me a gay bastard. It's a lot funnier than that. Well, maybe not the post which really isn't very funny at all, but I think the video is funny, and it's about a gay bastard. Disclaimer: you may find this video not funny at all, depending on your sense of humour. Contains some strong language, but unfortunately no nudity.

I hate life. My life and life in general.

(I want chcolate)

Sometimes you only realize how much you love something or someone when you are suddenly deprived of it or them for an extended period of time. That goes for Hey!Say!JUMP, and even more so for one particular member, one of my all time favourite Johnny's boys ever, the amazingly great and amazingly tall Nakajima Yuto.

Back in 1971 a young man by the name of Haratake Hiromi gained some remarkable recognition as a backdancer for Johnny's group Four Leaves. He was so popular that fans would cheer him on with the words "Go! Go! Let's Go Hiromi!", and that was how his stage name was born. Go Hiromi.

Okay, it's one thing to have 369 different versions of Jounetsu JUMP, but to re-broadcast the exact same Yamada-Chinen-Hikaru-Arashi collaboration from 4 weeks ago on School Kakumei today is just plain lazy. Two thumbs down. >_>

In other news, Shonen Club, yay!

1985 was a good year. I fell in love and got my heart broken.

Hyakushiki is back, and Keito speaks English (I think?)

(2nd star to the right and straight on 'til morning)

This is gonna be another rant. I don’t even want to do it. I don’t have the time to do it. But the amount of utter bullshit about the Snow Prince Gasshoudan debut I’ve been reading in the past 2 days is driving me insane, and I just have to address it. The following may contain a lot of strong language. If you can’t take it I don’t care. If you don’t like it I don’t care either. I just thought I’d let you know in advance.

(major rant this way)

Such a weird feeling to watch Shonen Club on a Tuesday morning, but it couldn't be helped because it wasn't available any time sooner. It was worth waiting for though. I really enjoyed the show, all of it from start to finish. Lots of great performances, and I'd really love to post every single one of them here and talk about them in detail, but I obviously can't do that. You see, I'm writing this book at the moment, and I've been struggling with it in the last couple of days. So I really want to concentrate on it now because the worst thing that could happen to me right now would be to lose momentum and slowly phase out of writing it. So I'm just gonna write a quick post about Shonen Club with my personal highlights and then I go back to my desk where my book is waiting for me to keep writing it.
