Hello 2010!
I feel like updating!! :DD
How's everybody? I hope everyone's genki!
2009-2010 Johnny's Countdown
Before Fuji TV aired the countdown concert at 11:45pm, the concert already began and NEWS sang 恋のABO. That part is not surprising, but did you know that while Tegoshi was singing his solo (bridge), Yamapi started teasing him, touching his nose and face and eventually hugged Tesshi from behind and made gestures to attempt kissing him? Tesshi couldn't really dodge because he had to sing. Then, the other three (Massu, Shige, and Koyama) also went up and hugged. According to aki, the witness, all 5 members were literally stuck together, hugging, till Tesshi's solo finished. XD [[oh ohh.. I just found daelite's post; the reports she read said that they were just tickling Tesshi.. hm, maybe the person I read the report from sat farther away, so thought they were hugging? Anyways, it's all fun! ^^]]
I thought letting the groups sing each other's songs was a nice idea. Arashi singing Sukiyanen Osaka was adorable; K8 singing One Love was adorably hilarious. NEWS sang Kinki Kids' song; KT sang NEWS's song (but they looked a little awkward to me, lol, or was it just me?). Ryo was so hyper. Massu's hair was so shiny. The rest were just adorable ^^. NEWS dancing to 愛なんだ(?) was adorable. They did not get to sing Tegomass's songs though, and I wanted them to, so that's a tiny disappointment. Over all, I liked it ^^
雨の日の森の中
I was debating with myself during the entire month of November about whether or not I should fly to Japan for this. For some reason, I just really really really wanted to see it. The plot sounds great, and I heard how good it was. Several online friends of mine went to see it multiple times and loved it every time they watched it. I really did not want to miss it. I had exams, studies, and already needed to spend money on various things throughout the year... well, all that could be arranged and worked out, but I just did not have the needed courage to tell parents and take one weekend off and go.
I bought "Look at Star" Jan. 2010 issue. It featured photos of 「雨の日の森の中」 that I just absolutely adore. I actually don't usually buy magazines because of fandom (there are too many!), and this is not one of the cheap magazines either (and w/ only 2 pages featuring the butai), but the pics in this magazine were just awesome that I decided to buy it for memories.
0号室の客 （No.3 完璧な男）
Not until after I watched the 2nd episode of Shige's part, did it hit me that Shige was given an important place b/c his part was carefully planned to air on around Christmas time. (How stupid was I?)
I really loved it.
I loved the story, Shige, the other actors, and everything. Shige looked great, his great moments of acting were also captured. He was given a great role, I was touched.
I also liked the theme song「時計じかけのアンブレラ」by Arashi. If I could put ringtones on my phone I would've put the song's chorus, and that wouldn't be because of Arashi but because of Shige XDD.
Oh, and about the pictures hanging on the wall, I am glad Ryo's was shown in both the 2nd & 3rd story with his two groups' members. ♥
I hope Kei-chan's parts were done well too! Looking forward to it!
(The actress in Kei-chan's story had acted with Shige in Seminar and she was also in Long Love Letter ~I just found out.)
ps. OMG! I just realized who the girl in Shige's story was. It's the same young actress who played child Nobuta and Nodame and in many other dramas! No wonder I had interesting feelings when I watched her, though I could not remember who she was right away (w/ the long hair, especially). That explains why her acting seemed mature. ^^
Extras
Now, my favorite drama specials or short dramas by a NEWS member are the two Christmas-related dramas! 「笑える恋はしたくない」 & 「0号室の客-完璧な男」*claps* Actually, there is another one, that is 「LOSS：TIME：LIFE」with Kei-chan. I really like 「しゃばけ」too, but I guess there is less for me to relate to in that drama, so I did not pick it. I haven't watched 「にぃにのことを忘れないで」 either.
I have been enjoying 走魂 ^^ I hope many people get to see it and like it too!
Random, but I finished watching 「Untouchable」 too. It's one of the season-length dramas I have actually finished watching in quite a long while. I was wondering whether I want to put 72's 「ここにいるよ」or Arashi's「時計じかけのアンブレラ」for in the what I am listening to field below. Let's go for the more cheerful one ^^
All for now! Happy New Year everyone! *hugs*
