OH MY GOD.

OH MY GOD.

Excuse me while I gather the pieces of me that shattered all over the place when I couldn't take the AMAZINGNESS anymore.

TSUBASA. AND SUBARU. SINGING YUME MONOGATARI, ROCK VERSION. YUME MONOGATARI! Only my favourite Tackey & Tsubasa flailing song! My favouritest of the T&T discography ( Read more... )

SCREAM WHAT

WHATThey're really taking the spread-the-Hallyu-wave-globally thing seriously! From their United Asia Management agency cooperative with KeyEast, AMENT and Star J Entertainment to this ( Read more... )

It's a little belated, but this TOKIO love scenario video game pondering is one of the most hilarious threads I've ever come across in TOKIO fandom. Just. HOW IS THIS NOT PERFECTION INCARNATE:

Before we get the ball rolling: Japan, this is part of why people think you're kind of nuts. A bra that doubles as a rice paddy...okay, Japan. I know there might be an impending global food shortage projected within the next 50 years, but we don't have to go that far yet ( Read more... )
