This is weird tho, before this I'm not pay attention to them at all. Coz' I'm more into debuted group/senpai group. They appeared a lot in their senpai concert and performance but I didn't look at them at all. lol last 2 years I tried to watch Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou, coz' of there AKB vs. Johnny's Jr. XD I only know Juri & Shintaro coz' of their's brothers and my friend introduce me to them lol that time I only watched them but not really into them. I only think Hokku is cool, I wanna be his fans. But don't take it seriously haha
well.. It started on last year, when I watch Bakaleya movie and making, knowing their real personality and such, I'm getting want to know them more, first start with Shintaro, I watch GTO(2012) and Kasuka na Kanojo, and watch the makings of the drama. there's few Jrs that I just know; TakaSho, Genki & Jinguji. But I seriously don't know why my eyes is always on Shintaro. :v he's a playful and cute brat but sometime act shy but sometime so noisy lol, his age is around 14-15 that time. I just remembered this brat appear a lot in Shokura and with JUMP. and thinking; wow this kid grown up so muchh.. D:
So by re-watching old Shokura videos that I have, watching JUMP concerts & some TV Shows and old dramas, I finally recognize some of them. Then, I was like "let's watch some Jrs show". Stared with
Gamushara; the TV show for Jrs. At first, I only watch the episode when there's Shintaro or Juri haha. The show is like pushing Jrs to do something reckless (gamushara) to show their real growth as a stars. There's Gamushara MaruMaru segment, and many more; They were given various task to accomplish, and worked without complaining to complete the given task. It's realy entertaining to watch!! XDD
I've tried watch Johnny's Jr Land before, but just a few episode 'coz it's hard to find the subbed one and there's not much my favorite haha and like the other show such as YanYan JUMP.
I'm still learn Jrs name and face tho, they're sooo many of them, I can only know the one who appear much, but I don't know much bout Kansai Jr. seems like I'm more into Tokyo Jr lol. I'm shipping JuriShin soooooo much. I love their friendship! I know they love each others by reading their interviews and they sometimes showed their love on TV loool seems like they are very closed and sometimes Juri must stop being tsundere towards Shin, eh no, keep bullying him XD The other Jrs that intersted me are; all other Bakaleya members of coz, oh I already list them on my introduction lol
yep , Morimoto Ryuutaro's little brother.
Morimoto Shintaro desu~
well, maybe becoz he is Ryu-chan little brother. xD
Shintaro is the prince of the juniors back then. He was called Golden Junior, ace of juniors or something? He was scouted by Johnny's himself!! read the story
here. He's always the main junior, with different extravagant outfit, with more performance and singing lines, hosting, etc. and he has his own medley on ShoKura and leader of Snow Prince Gasshoudan
But since Ryu's scandal, it seems Johnny-san is taking Shintaro out of the spotlight. Later, after he come back to Shokura (about a month after Ryutaro's scandal) he seems always grouped with HHJ (though he's really performing with them before) but the thing is, he is wearing the same outfits as HHJ.. and he's blending in like he was never a junior prince before. It hurts me to see him that way, but I really respect Shintaro, how he still performs with so much enthusiasm and always smiles. That's why I still really love this kid.
Back to reality, he is grown up man now. which hard to me to accept lol
sometimes, looking at the otona version of Shin make me feels like he is not the same chibi Shin that I know before -w-;;; lol
he now got all muscle and look more matured than his actual age. haha like I love how Juri love to call him "Gorilla/Gori" instead his name and making fun of his old face XDD seems like he always got teased by other juniors too XD
yeah he's still not stop growing, everytime I see him he's become big which make me a little scared lol
but still I adore this kid meh
all the best for Shin~ ganbare Shin-chan~!
