Johnny's Countdown 2011-2012 capspam and commentary post!!

First, my general impression. I'm afraid no Countdown will ever top the one in my icon (birthday kisses!!! :D), but I can still hope! This one was pretty bland and boring to me. Too many telecoms like last year, and very little inter-group playing around. There are a lot of groups out now that I don't really know well and I'm really not interested in watching them sing, sorry. :/ Still! There were some nice moments, and I enjoyed complaining at my screen, so it's all good. :Db
Mmmm, Tsubasa and Yaracchi showin' 'em how it's done... *____* Some of the newer groups had a few kids messing up during their sempais' songs. I'm totally being picky and judgmental... XD
lol Poor Tsubasa left to go join Tackey at another venue and had to strip off...stuff while running out the door. His backup dancers helped him out. 8Db
Oh, Eito. XD
Mmm, Koki. 8D I'm liking how KAT-TUN is looking! They seemed a lot more relaxed and happy. Ueda is one guy who really doesn't need makeup, but whatever, dude. You rock the guyliner if you want. ;D Taguchi's hair is another issue altogether... D:
...Really? Tegoshi... Where is that "I'm a painted whore" gif when you need it... :/
Watching NEWS made me kind of sad. They had to take over Ryo's and Yamapi's lines. :( BTW, why wasn't Yamapi there? He didn't leave Johnny's as far as I know. o.O
Whoever chose to dress Arashi in soft, snuggle-y sweaters and scarves, thank you. *___*
Tackey has waaaaay, waaaaay too much energy during these things. XD
Dorks. XD
Interaction!! With two people I can probably name! :O Aw~
lol Poor Tackey. Sign: Tsubasa-san didn't make it on time.
It was so hard to take caps of MA because they're a) moving really fast and b) dressed in black. That's Yaracchi on one hand over to the left. I greatly enjoyed watching them dance circles around debuted guys. XD
Notice how there's no one here?
That's because Atsu-nii fell down while skating. This is the guy from Hikaru GENJI, THE skating idol group. lol I guess when they hung up their skates he didn't keep practicing. XD
And now this kid has endeared himself to me for offering his daisempai a hand up.♥
I... I... Uh...
Words fail me.
Seriously, I don't even know what to say at this point. Guyssssss... XD
I really don't think that kid was actually playing that guitar... XD
I love the dance to Monster.♥
Question?!!! :D But Akun... That hair... D:
You cutie.♥ But, I'm used to this happening together with Inocchi. Where's my Tainocchi moment this year???? D:
The Kanjuu are so "hungry" (read: desperate). XD
I can only assume they felt the need to outdo the pink suits of years past... D:
Hey there, Koki. 8D
lol But seriously, KAT-TUN obviously had no idea how the dance to Musekinin Hero went. All they did is salute. XD On the other hand, it was nice that they were all into it, since they didn't have Jin hanging around, pouting instead of singing.
Oh look, sempai/kouhai cuteness!
..Except I don't know those kids. :( *feels old*
And again!
What does it take to get a little J-Friends love around here? :(
However, take a look at Gussan's face. He's plotting something...
And his leg goes up...
And he gets the kouhai to help him kick Leader in the ass. XD
Hina being silly.
I will admit, at this point I was just dancing along to Kanfuu Fighting and not watching Eito at all. XD
T&T are kind of sickeningly cute. XD
Also, one of them tried to sing the wrong verse to Venus.
It kind of weirded me out to have people other than MA dancing in the back to Ho Summer.
YESSSSSS, HIGASHI IS HEEEEEREEEE. 8DDDDDDDD UNF! GET IT, HIGASHI!
And Nikki! No high kick on camera this year, though. :(
Even Uekusa came! XD
Aw, this makes me happy.
Tsubasa... I COULD WATCH YOU DANCE TO THIS SONG ALL FUCKING DAY LONG. 8DDDD
YES, THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR. FUCK YEAH, ANDALUCIA NI AKOGARETE! WITH HIGASHIIIIIII! *____*
AND KOUICHI. THE CROWD HAD THE SAME REACTION AS ME. YESSSSSSSSSSS. 8D
I'M SORRY, KAT-TUN. I LIKE YOU TODAY, BUT I JUST CANNOT GIVE A SHIT WHEN THE DANCE KINGS ARE DOING THEIR THING. FORGIVE ME.
And of course Matchy comes out. I do not like that guy. :/ I'm sorry, this may be his song, but Higashi OWNS it. *___*
MA in the back, being all awesome and professional... 8D
WORK IT, SAKAMOTO! 8D
DON'T THINK I FORGOT ABOUT YOU, OKADA.
I feel a V6 mood coming on...
This is pretty much the only way they could get me to enjoy this song. Nagase, Leader, and Tsuyoshi on guitar... 8Db
And Taichi is screwing off again. Where is Inocchi, man!?
lol
Atsu-nii makes me miss Toma. I wish he'd been there, too! ;__;
Oh, Tackey. I just can't with those two. XD
OK, so I still get KAT-TUN and NEWS confused for a second before I can sort them out in my head. I was all happy for them to be singing with Uchi... But it was KAT-TUN. XD
Now that I will believe is live.
*_______*
I don't always like Nagase and his silly hats, but this one worked out juuuust fine. 8D
XDDD
Miyacchi (???) being so silly his sempai laughed. :D
Gussan grabbed Kouichi's ass. XD
And this is when I realized all my favorites are done being the Toshi Otoko until they're filling the older role. :x
Leader mumbles and Gussan shoves him with his body. And eeeeveryone laughs. :D
Two of these guys are only pretending to be in V6. Hmmm...
KinKi Kids are seriously the best hosts for this thing.♥ Tsuyo just told KAT-TUN he'd totally go to their concerts, but he didn't sound like he meant it. XD
Tsuyo: Maruyama, your face...isn't attractive.
Maru: Thank you very much!
Kouichi: No, no, it's attractive.
Crap, I don't remember why I took this one. But KinKi's cute! :D
Tsuyo made a lame pun and ended with the equivalent of "I'm here all week." XD
NOW, WHERE ARE ALL THE GIFS? 8D
