It's been a while since I key-smashed my way through a post, so I decided I totally need to do it again.
I found out that Kanjani8 guested on Shounen Club in September 2003, and decided to watch that before dying from sleep deprivation. These might have fit better on Twitter, except I realized that if I posted everything on Twitter, I'll spam the precious few people that actually friended me for some unfathomable reason.
Many jokes are made at the expense of the people involved actually debuting in the future. Don't read if you're sensitive on that subject?
Shounen Club 2003.09.07
- OMG NAKAMARU'S LONG HAIR PHASE. I almost forgot it existed. <3
- lost!Ueda is still amusing.
- oh god Yabu was a kid once.
- scrawny!Yamapi!
- Kame was such an awkward host. xDD
- I can't get over long-haired Nakamaru.
- Shige in sleeveless pink costumes...lmao I can't xD
- Koyama looks normal in them. Of course.
- wait, is that Massu back-dancing for everyone ever aka Ya-Ya-Yah+KAT-TUN+K.K.Kity?
- OMG SHINY BLACK PANTS.
- AHAHAHAHAHA BLOND RYO.
- Those pants hide nothing. Um.
- YASU. Just, YASU. I wanted to laugh at your height, but then. a;dskljfhot.
- Nakamaru looked oddly feminine there.
- shiny red pants hide nothing too. omg what is my life.
- YOKO. his eyes back then <333
- well, that's Massu.
- Goseki spotted!
- Koyama takes care of everyone. Including Ueda. WTFOMG.
- YokoHina was awesome, even back then.
- Baby Nikaido!
- ...
- Yasu makes me speechless.
- oh Ohkura, I'm glad you're shining so much more now xD
- lion!Ryo. I'm glad you realized that you really don't suit it.
- Massu backdancing for Hina/Kanjani! OMGLMAO.
- SUBARU'S SHELTER OMGOMGOMGOMG PERFECTION TO A THOUSAND.
- Yasu <3333333333333
- so, why I am staring randomly at Yoko?
- Massu is now two rows behind. xD
- Eito looks like fighters without opponents, somehow.
- lol Yoko forever alone at the side.
- YOKOHINA. actually wait, YokoHinaYamapi. lol what.
- oh, it's non-hobo!Akanishi!
- that is some unfortunate hair.
- NAKAMARU AND YASU HAVE MATCHING EARRINGS HERE. JUST.
- oh wow, Massu and random Jr singing beside Yamapi.
- except Massu's microphone doesn't match the lyrics at all. xDDD
- I can't decide. That guy looks a little like Kitayama. They're so much better at labeling people nowadays.
- oh my god wait that's FiVE.
Shounen Club 2003.09.14
- Massu wandering in the back. He's in such a bad spot, directly behind the middle. xD
- Why did I not realize FiVE was in the back earlier, what is wrong with me.
- Sennen no Love Song performed by K.K.Kity!
- trying to play spot the Massu. I think that's him roller-blading around.
- Yasuba standing each other feels so right back then.
- besides awkward hand gestures, Nakamaru...does know how to dance. um.
- lol I've seen this talk corner way too many times. skipping.
- Ryo has a history with slightly too large suits. xDDD
- No one suits KinKi songs better than KinKi. But. But-but but, Yasu!
- Yasu's eyes. a;dksgja;khjdhlgkjh.
- More backdancing Massu!
- okay, that person has to be Kitayama. which means...Yamapi ft. KitaMassu two weeks in a row? :D
I have no idea what KAT-TUN's doing these days. I don't have the time to keep up with another group, but...I'm sort of curious. Maybe I should at least find their latest single or concert DVD?
Also, Massu honestly backdanced right up until his debut. For Ya-Ya-Yah, K.K.Kity, Kanjani8, KAT-TUN, Yamapi, basically everyone ever. GAH. Debut stories are forever so heartbreaking, until I think of the people who didn't get to debut and my brain just drops. Trying to find Massu in the mass of people at the back was interesting though.
But the most interesting thing is still Nakamaru with long hair. Oh my god, I totally forgot that phase existed.
I want to watch SUMMARY 2004 tomorrow. Maybe I'll do this again? xD SUMMARY was what really got me into the whole Johnnys business, beside the few people I liked back then. And I found a copy of a SUMMARY 2004 DVD...I want it so badly, but I'm not sure I can afford dishing out the money. Which means I need to rewatch it in its entirety to be certain, of course.
