やっぱりキミがナンバーワン♪

Oct 25, 2015 21:09

After waiting until a day after the release date to get it, I got busy and, blasphemous as it is, only got around to watching the Kimi Attraction videos and makings today. My conclusion: JUMP makings were actually more interesting when they were all reckless brats who were probably driving the staff insane. Of course… that's not actually 100% how ( Read more... )

いいの?, yuri is a girls name..., ultra music power!

aww i'm glad inoo is finally getting more screentime and lines :) his voice add color to yamada, chinene, and daiki.

since i am still fairly new to jump fandom, who exactly is heir 2nd tier? yamada, chinen, and daiki usually almost always have the most lines and screen time, but everyone else under i'm not to sure.

i need to go watch the old makings to see just how much of a handful all the kiddos used to be. :)

ohh girl i have been lurking forever to find subbed videos of them and i found them!! being an arashi fan really made me learn how to search the internet. if theres a will, theres definitely a way hehe

yeah i remember takaki started off with gokusen 3, and yuto was center during ultra music power days. it's really funny to me cuz werent yabu and hikaru like the popular juniors when before they debuted? and awww inoo had like 0 lines. maybe thats why he concentrated on graduating to make sure he had a backup plan. keito was another interesting one to me too. i know his dad is a sempai, and i want to like him, but hes just so quiet and he hardly sings, that i feel like his presence doenst really bring much? except for in the jump band, and his occasional compositions, but even then, its yabu, yamada, and hikaru.

and yes, their management. well, if aiba can get away with his scandal back in '04, and ohno's most recent scandal, i think the jump boys are safe.

I can imagine being an Arashi fan would teach you how to find files. XD; I'm glad that you found them!

Yeah, things have definitely shifted around over the past 8 years. Yuto was officially the center for Ultra Music Power, but Yamada and Takaki were the centers for Dreams Come True (they wrote about it in their Myojo 10,000 character interviews, so it's official), and Yamada has been the center since. Actually, Inoo talks about why he went to college in his Myojo 10,000 character interview, too. He went to college for himself, not because he ever considered being anything besides an idol. It makes me sad that people get the impression that he felt he wasn't going to be an idol, because he says straight-out in his interview, "First and foremost, I was always an idol." (I wrote a little about it here, though the topic was something a little different.) As for Keito, since he had literally no idol training before he debuted (like, none. He was a junior for a few months, that's it, because he was living in England up until debut), ( ... )

thanks for the information and more insight into them!!! sorry i didn't mean that they didn't add anything to the group, but your right, everyone does add something and at the end of the day, even them physically being there gives energy to the rest. they seem to be really coming into their own now, and i love LOVE the fact that they can write their own songs. i prefer the songs that they wrote over the songs that are given to them. it shows their growth and how much they have matured from those little kiddies back in the old makings. after morimoto, i think their bond became strong after overcoming that. :( after seeing kpop bands, johnny's for the most part, seem to have a more genuine bond.

You're welcome! I'm always happy to talk about JUMP. XD; And no worries; it's just something you hear people say a lot ("so-and-so doesn't bring anything to the group!" or "so-and-so is useless!") and I really don't like it when every member really does bring something and that is the heart of Johnny's, so I wanted to speak my mind about it. But yes, they really are a talented group, with a wide variety of musical skills, and I think they're awesome. ♥ I do think that Johnny's groups tend to have a good bond, and I know that JUMP's is really strong. ♥
