LOL,
this site with descriptions of JE bands (or not ^^; ) is GREAT!
Maybe a visual Key fan shouldn't write about JE bands. I mean, I wouldn't write about Visual Key either...
I found this site while I was looking for the name of a Japanese idol who is in one of these bands like flame, w-inds, lead, who looks A LOT like Subaru (I saw a poster of him in an idol shop and thought "Yay, Suba poster!!!!" when I realized it wasn't him O_o) I really wanted to know who this boy was. I think it was Nakadoi Hiroki of Lead, but he looks so NOT like Suba in all the pictures I've seen just now lol. ^^;;; When I was looking for more pictures of him, I also found this:
So he used to be in Kansai Johnny's Jrs?! Like, how could he just go to an audition and leave JE that easily. Don't they have contracts for all the boys????
Damn, who was that boy who looked soooo much like Suba???? >_<

In this thread you can nominee your favourite dorama actors etc from 2005. It sounds like fun, but I think I won't post it in the thread in the end, because I couldn't watch many new dorama this year. I basically missed two seasons (when I studied abroad, I found out too late that my uni's connection is FREAKING fast and nobody cares if I download ^^;;;), so I think it wouldn't make sense. Also, I can't vote for a dorama that is still running, because maybe I love the series, but the ending ruins everything for me (like in Nobuta: OMG Shuji dies or Akira ends up with Mariko O_o).
This voting is totally unbalanced though. People only nominate series that are still airing. It's all Nobuta lol. I mean it's a really cool dorama, but there must have been more good series in 2005. Not even Gokusen got many nominations O_O
And... people freaking annoy me who have only watched HYD or whatever and still participate. What's the sense of doing that??!!!
But because I said this sounds like fun, and I still want to fill it out, even though I will only post it here:
For some nominations, I couldn't really decide... and as I said... I've missed the Winter season (except of H2 and Gokusen) and the full Spring season....
1) Best DORAMA Densha Otoko
2) Best Actor in a Jdorama Abe Hiroshi (Dragonzakura)
3) Best Supporting Actor in a Jdorama Namase Katsuhisa (Ima, Gokusen, Brother Beat)
4) Best Actress in a Jdorama Nakama Yukie (Gokusen)
5) Best Supporting Actress in a Jdorama ---
6) Super Best Capuru aka Best Pair in a Jdorama Doumyouji and Makino (Hana Yori Dango)
7) Catchphrase of the year Kitaaaa (Densha Otoko)
8) Best JE/actor performance Kamenashi Kazuya (for Kindaichi, Gokusen and Nobuta)
9) Most Promising Actress (Newbie award) wow this is hard. There are a lot of really good new actresses. I could vote for Ishihara Satomi (lol I'm fascinated by her), Hirayama Aya, Nagasawa Masami, Horitaki Maki, there are so many. But I'll vote for Sawajiri Erika (Namida), because she's stunning and probably the best actress of them.
10) Most Promising Actor (Newcomer award) If it was half a year earlier, I'd say Akanishi Jin, without even thinking for a second. But because Jin is an UNPROFESSIONAL asshole and I hate him now, hmmm let's see... not Kame... not Nishikido... I'll give credit to Hayami Mokomichi for acting in a dorama in every season O_o but I don't think he's a great actor ^^; Hmmm... maybe Koiko Teppei... but Kame or Nishikido are both better actors then Mokomichi and Teppei... does promising mean new? If not, then I'll vote for Oguri Shun of course ^___^
11) Best Opening Song 'Kizuna' by Orange Range (Ima Ai ni Yukimasu)
12) Best Insert Song 'Konayuki' by Remioromen (Namida)
13) Fashion Statement of the Year MatsuJun in Hana Yori Dango :)
14) Funniest scene you almost peed in your pants award I really liked the scene in Densha Otoko, where people from the Internet channel went to the same cafe and someone mentioned 'Densha Otoko' ^_^. No, I'll take the hallway scene in HYD after Doumyouji asked Makino out on a date in ep 3.
But if you guys like Jdorama and watched many this year, go and participate and make this a little more interesting. ;)))
