New Year Fandom Meme !
I got this from snow's LJ and I found it fun, so I decided to answer the questions.
Your main fandom of the year?
Hey! Say! JUMP. I guess it's been the same for almost 6 years now. Hey! Say! JUMP kinda had a "renewal" this year: their songs are getting more mature, freaking everyone has solo activities (including Inoo-chan and Keito!) and everyone has lines in the singles. 2014 was definitely great.
I joined a new fandom this year though, Sexy Zone's, but I'll never like Sexy Zone as much as I like Hey! Say! JUMP (or even NEWS or Amuse boys); I like them VERY MUCH anyway (once I like every member of a group, I'm definitely in the fandom and too involved).
Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
Come Back...?!? I definitely fell in love with the song the first time I listened to it and I always have this "OMG THIS SONG IS SO GREAT" moment everytime it starts playing.
Maybe I just should answer "smart" because I so much want to talk about Setsunasa Hikikaeni lyrics that are so beautiful and moving or even FOREVER or pretty much all the songs of this album. It's more mature and it's just the best JUMP album so far.
Your favorite TV show of the year?
Sexy Zone Channel. I'd never managed to watch regularly a Japanese TV show before. JUMP are terrible MCs, I quickly got tired of Shokura after Koyamaru left, I never got into Yan Yan JUMP (I actually gave up when they tried to have Yuya play handball in the first episode xD). However, Sexy Zone Channel is just so much fun; it's easy to understand when you have my Japanese level and the boys are really funny (I'm not even speaking of the staff).
As for TV drama, I'd say Suikyuu Yankees. The plot was not that great but I enjoyed it to the fullest: the characters were great, the actors kinda good and I love how they handled the rivals. It had Sakurako, and Yuya, and Yuti, and Oryo and I love them all very much (okay let's be honest I love Yuya more...). This year had many good dramas (Hanako to Anne, N no Tame Ni, Bitter Blood...) that were far better than Suikyuu Yankees but I guess I'm too weak in front of gakuen dramas with Yuya.
Your favorite LJ community of the year?
No idea. I guess arisu_subs because she subbed many dramas this year and it was of a great help.
Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
Sou. Seriously, one year ago I was like "I don't know this boy, I'm so unlucky I got his solo CD cover" or "Well Sexy Zone was 5 at ToniToni but I couldn't see Sou well, he was hidden by the tall ones, it's okay I don't know him". I'M SO FULL OF REGRETS NOW. He is the cutest of all. I grew so fond of him. I'm so sad he's the only one who never gets the spotlights, really.
And of course, my two new friends, Audrey and Benoît. We're getting on so well, I love them so much now.
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
3人 Sexy Zone. I like Marius, I like Sou. I like 5人 so what is this all about, seriously? I guess I was even more disappointed when I understood the trick behind Kimi ni Hitomebore music cards. I almost left the fandom, seriously.
ONE OK ROCK concert in Paris.
Your fandom boyfriend/girlfriend of the year?
Boyfriend? I don't have a "fandom boyfriend" or well I never think of Yuya that way. (I just think he is a handsome stupid dude who walks barefoot in the streets haha).
Your biggest squee moment of the year?
I guess I have two huge squee moments (I'll never get over them) and one a little smaller that made me happy for him anyway :
- Kota at the greeting
- My "mune kyun oyasumi" being read by Yuya on JUMP da Baby
- Akito's debut
Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
Hokuto's debut!!! (I'm afraid he won't though, but I hope deep inside that he will, he deserves it <3). A JUMP tour in August (pretty pleaaaase). NEWS already announced tour to be in August too (though I don't believe it'll be that late since they already announced it). More activity for NEWS aka MORE CD RELEASES, JULIE. More awesome dramas with awesome parts for Kaku Kento and Koseki Yuta. Sexy Zone back to 5人 definitely. A drama for Sou. Another drama for Yuya 8D
