I've recently got hooked on two things:
1. The letter A
2. A particular guy
1. The letter A
I've just discovered one of the best groups in Japanese entertainment industry (aside from Arashi of course) recently and they are called AAA (Triple A). I started browsing and googling about them since I first saw their performance on Kouhaku last year and gosh they're amazing. All of them are amazing dancers (most of them were actually Amie Namuro's and Utada Hikaru's back up dancers once) and what's greater than that is the fact that they can sing live too (though I still have mixed feelings bout the girls singing abilities). The group consists of 7 people (there used to be 8 of them but a girl left the group in 2007 due to illness):
- Naoya Urata - Leader, the oldest, sometimes blond, sometimes brunette, sometimes both (he dyed his hair black and blond at the same time once)
- Nishijima Takahiro - lead vocalist (one of the best Japanese singer ever), Sapporo born and the cry baby of AAA = my AAA ichiban
- Hidaka Mitsuhiro - Rapper, the clown of the group and has the same hair styles throughout the times
- Shuta Sueyoshi - More of a permanent back up dancer who sings occasionally (which doesn't make sense to me since he can really sing), amazing amazing dancer that will blow your mind away
- Atae Shinjiro - Permanent back up dancer who constantly dances the same choreography, interesting husky voice, the COOL one
- Uno Misako - lead female vocalist (nasally but has an amazing stamina), the sex bomb of the group
- Chiaki Ito - Sings occasionally and the sweetheart of the group
So far I've watched 7 of their concerts and they blew me away each time. I totally recommend them to anyone who likes kick ass musics, amazing choreography and energetic live performances.

2. A Particular Guy
To be exact, this guy:
Nishijima Takahiro a.k.a Nissy
There's too much awesomeness to talk about him in this post so I shall make a new post solely dedicated to his amazing singing, kick ass dancing and superb acting next time... but just so you know (if it's not obvious yet)... I just simply LOVE him!
