Sorry for the slow update. Couldn't stay awake last night. Shokura started an hour late because of the 'Save the Future' program. Updates, well there were a few good performances but not much Shoon or Taiga. You probably read this elsewhere already. Anyway, here :
Theme: Rock I knew there wouldn't be much of the younger ones when I saw the theme Rock medley 1) Osaka Obachan Rock - Taiga + Shintaro + Casey + Myuto + Noeru + Yuta + Sato Shun + Camu Cade. Sorry but I didn’t quite like how the focus was only on Shintaro and the 7 others got practically 0 decent camera time/angles. It was the same at the opening, same during the medley. And his mic (or recording) was probably louder cause you just hear him and not much of the other boys. There are Jrs dancing all around the stage and circling them but I’m not complaining because I think these Jrs deserve screen time too.
2) She Said - Shoon + KMF2 (Yokoo, Nikaido, Tamamori, Miyata) Looking good as usual, can't really hear him though. I was hoping he stayed on for Pikanchi.
Sweet Butterfly - Butoukan Cool song but “You’re Butterfly in Midnight” sounded like “your butt fly, in midnight” XD I like Butoukan (as a temporary thing). But there's a bit of a Senga overload lately, he's popping up everywhere, with KMF2, with Butoukan etc.
Misetekure - Yasuda Shota I thought this was good, the song and the dance. Dancers were Nikaido, Senga, Tamamori, Miyata.
Mihari - Question? I’ve never heard the original from Otokogumi but Question?’s version was nice.
Kansai Jr ni Q I have no idea what they talk about Host: Nakata Daichi & Hamada Takahiro (Boys) Kansai Jrs: Fujiwara Jyoichiro, Fugal Shawn Goku, Ito Masashi, Hamanaka Bunichi
Talk corner - ABC Again, I have no idea what they talk about. Kawai does the Jun "Wish" impersonation again
Shelter - ABC. As usual Nakamaru tries to join them but is stopped by Koyama. BUT this time he does appear near the end doing his beatboxing and then sings with them =) I miss this song. MADE and Jr Boys dancing in the back.
Closing - Oh My Dream - Older Jrs. When you hear this song, you know no ickle Jrs will not appear. Surprisingly even Hasshi doesn’t appear here. Shoon!
I’m ok with this SC. A lot of people seem to think it’s a lot better than the last one. Well, I think it all comes down to what/who you like. Hope I didn't bore you to death. Gotta run. Hope your trip has been enjoyable so far.
It seems like I did not miss anything much. Am I supposed to be relieved or sad? The Kansai Jrs start to get a lof of attention recently *good for them* which means less time for the Tokyo Jrs including Taiga and Shoon.
No Shoon in Neketsu Jr League T_T well, I can't expect to see him in every Neketsu Jr League because he's not a leader in either team. I have been wondered why Hasshi does not participate in this segment. Since the HSJ debut, I hoped that Hasshi will be in the game so I could get to know him more. His voice sounds like Kame and he sings KAT-TUN songs really well.
Thanks for pointing out the July scan. Taiga looks so grown-up. Even though his hair is still like a girl's hair but his face starts changing: manlier, his eyes are still big but not massive, and his shoulder makes me want to lie on it >,< BIG DREAM? What is his BIG DREAM?
yay for his backdancing in HHS. Maybe I'm not interested in his backdancing but just like you, I appreciate any screentime he gets. Bump Up not only sounds good but also is my fav HHS livestage. Not only because Taiga was there, but I prefer HSBest without Takaki *not his fan, serious.* It took almost 1 hour to load the 2.42 vid in Kamichan's blog *still loading right now*
oopsie not, watch the livestage right now. Thanks again for the update. I have a lot to catch up and download after enjoying this trip. You did not bore me even a bit. I told you that I love reading your comments, right? Don't mind posting anything in my LJ. Feel free to say anything, about the boys and yourself. I want to get to know you better.
It seems like I did not miss anything much. Am I supposed to be relieved or sad? Guess you can say that. I'd choose sad =P Me, I'm a bit disappointed but I realize it is not going to be the way I like it every week. Yes, Kansai Jrs are getting more attention recently which is good, but I'm going to miss the Tokyo Jrs.
Beats me why Hasshi hasn't been on Jr League. A lot of people are hoping he'll be there, maybe soon. He's getting a lot of attention nonetheless. I felt bad for him when he seemed to be really affected by not making it into the original HS7 and then HSJ. Right after HSJ's debut it looked as though he was trying a bit too hard to stand out, to be sexy and I missed the old him. I'm glad things seem ok again, he looks more relaxed now. Hard to believe he’s only a year older than Taiga.
Taiga's definitely maturing. Eyes don't do much growing, lucky thing he used to have massive eyes. No one beats Shoon in this department. I like your manlier comment ;) but many still think he's girly, let's hope that will change soon eventually. He should try a new hairstyle. He does have pretty nice shoulders ^__^ I’ve heard some others say that too. Dumb maybe but I’m secretly hoping he grows up to be a handsome sexy badboy gentleman just to make people take back some of the mean things they said about him ;P BIG DREAM? I see JUMP, Yamada, NEWS, Yamashita,..??..? Should I be happy I don’t see DEBUT? To dream, work towards it and then have it broken is just sad.
Looks like we have another thing in common - Takagi. May I ask why? I liked Bump Up and this livestage too (but things like this still make me miss Ya-Ya-yah). It took me a few hrs to d/l! Notice Taiga following the broomstick steps while waiting for his turn at the corner?..silly. And he still skips like a little kid sometimes ^^
sorry for the late reply. I'm too busy hanging out with my friends and the Internet was so slow so I gave up keeping track of the JE fandom.
*notice your avatar* Ya-Ya-yah with 6 members <3333 It's hard to find any scans that included 6 mem, not 4 or 5. It reminds me the Summary concert this August. I wonder if Shoon is going to be there. Shoon as a backdancer for HSJ. I can't stand that thought. It's good if he gets some thing to do which means he's still an active junior, and he's still in JE. Taiga's participation in Summary does not bother me as much as Shoon's does. Should I save money so if someone's going to the concert, I will ask him/her buying an uchiwa for me??????
You don't like Takagi either???? Yay for another thing in common. I don't like the way he smiles or acts. The first thing I notice a person is their smile. I still remember how brightly Taiga smiled in Ya-Ya-yah livestage *T___T talking about yax3 made me sad again* Somehow, takagi's smile seems fake to me. Maybe that's my problem or my point of view is different than the others'. Another thing is the sticker scandal. He was safe from that scandal while Kamei is suspended. How unfair. Actually, they are not the main reasons but I can't explain how much and how come I dislike him. Did I mention that he tries to sexy but he failed badly? In HSJ concert, when someone said he was a sexy dancer "sexy dancer my ass," my first thought, I just wanted to throw up. How bout u???
By the way, I'll be back in US next Friday so we might be able to talk more regular.
Hi there, no worries, hanging out with friends should definitely come first. You're back in the US?
Ya-Ya-yah weren't 6 for long so it is a bit harder to find such scans, especially nice HQ ones. I didn't want to leave anyone out. I still wonder sometimes if Hikaru didn't appear if things would be different.
Summary - If Shoon is there, I doubt they'll let him backdance for HSJ. I'll be glad if he gets to sing solo or lead with a small group. I'm not sure if Taiga will be there though it seems likely. Taiga's busy doing PLAYZONE 2008 right now so he won't appear in Aug SCs (the taping is already done) That's 2 months in a row no Taiga. ABC and KMFII also won't be there cause there's a bunch of things going on including KAT-TUN's concert. But I heard there will be lots of Shoon (singing KAT-TUN's songs) and does it well too if I might add . Win some lose some. Given a chance I'd definitely buy pictures, you like uchiwas? You should head over to baidu to check out Taiga's July and Aug mag scans. He finally gets his hair trimmed. It seems he performs 'Secret Agent Man' at Playzone complete with suit and hat, I really hope we'll get to see this.
The reasons I don't really like Takaki are somewhat similar to yours. He's not the Takaki I remember from JJE's earlier days anymore, he tries too hard to be sexy and cute, to imitate Jin, and there's a kind of arrogance I can't quite explain. It's more about the things he is in control of, like the way he acts that irks me. HSJ's latest PV of Your Seed is mostly him and Yamada. In fact most things HSJ these days are like that, I wonder if Yuto and Yabu have permanently lost their positions as 'leaders'.
PLAYZONE2008? I didn't know that. I was hoping he would participate in KAT-TUN con since he was not in Aug Shokura recording. So he is in PLAYZONE2008. The name sounds familiar but I can't remember what it is. Would you please tell me? by the way, I also need your help with baidu if you check out my latest entry.
It seems he performs 'Secret Agent Man' at Playzone complete with suit and hat, I really hope we'll get to see this. Suit and hat... Are they black? I remember seeing someone's LJ selling his official photo that he's wearing black suit and tie. Since the cost is expensive, I can't buy that *currently having financial troubles* That LJ user also sell Shintaro's photos which he wears exact costume like Taiga. Well, I'm glad that at least Taiga has another work to do besides appearing in SC.
I remember seeing someone's LJ selling his official photo that he's wearing black suit and tie. my bad, black suit and hat. I still don't know how to edit my comment. ^^*
