Back to some spazzing over jap guys :P
Since ai_no_himitsu highly recommended it, I started watching Ninkyo Helper a few days ago (still in the process of dl-ing all the eps at the moment though ^^) and I have only watched 4 eps but I am already loving it so much, especially with so many actors/actresses that I know and like in there e.g. Yamada Yu, Mukai Osamu, Yamamoto Yusuke, Kuroki Meisa, Yabu

last year's countdown to me was better. maybe because i had been away from the fandom for a while and it totally resparked the fangirl in me. lol. this year, i was anticipating it, so maybe that was a little different.
plus, you're right. the group interactions were more evident. also, this year, they sang more songs that i didn't know so although the *pretty* was eye-catchy, i felt like it went back too far in JE history. lol.
although i did really enjoy the group song switch medley. that was a great idea. it was fun to see different groups sing different songs.
ninkyo helper was great! i'm glad you're enjoying it. the cast was definitely awesome and i'm expecting a lot from them this year! especially the little kid. :]

I dont know but I enjoyed the 08-09 countdown more maybe I see more of Arashi, NEWS and KT. And yes, a certain part of the new countdown has too much old songs, and the whole con is a bit messy I thought, jumping from one place to another idk.
I just dl the 07-08 one as well, perhaps the rest of the countdown cons which KT is in.
Lol have you seen the kdrama "you're beautiful"though , thats a really big hit recently and my latest addiction! ^____^

LOL. everyone's asking me about "you're beautiful". my little sister watched it and loved it. right now, i don't think i have time to get addicted to a korean drama. lol. maybe in a little bit, after finals and all, i might give it a shot. but i kind of already know the entire story.... xD

Awww but still watch it! It's basically like a korean version of Hana Kimi but with awesome songs (cause the main cast can really sing <3) I've been spazzing over it for a while already (and now it even has a tag of its own xD)
Btw thanks for explaining. You're really very knowledgable ^^
Ah so SMAP is like the main people in NHK Kohaku Utagassen, but still I heard that show is getting not so popular these days....and rumours are not always so worth believing.

Arashi & NYC Boys & Tokio performed there too, but they go straight to the countdown after their performance.
whereas SMAP is a major part of the Kohaku. Nakai is the main host for the male contestants/singers, and SMAP always takes part in the group singing and special presentations, as well as their own performance, so they can't leave. that's the official reason.
the "non-officlal" fan speculation is that Tokio & SMAP don't really get along (or at least certain members don't) so doing an entire JE countdown together wouldn't be a good idea. but that's just rumors. lol. who knows.
hope that answers your question!!!
