Of Hans Christian Anderson and a can of worms ...
An interesting thing happened on the weekend. After me banging on about how none of my friends understand my love for J-Pop in general and Kanjani8 in particular I took a leap of faith and inflicted both, in general and in particular, on one of my friends. This was a different person to those I went away with a few weekends ago. This person is far

You’d think it wouldn’t be odd that they dress up as pandas for the little kids, but then you also have to realize those little kids are also there for fundoshi time and Subako panty flashing. Not sure how I should feel about that. (Did you see Yoko’s legs in last Saturday?)
Hmm, maybe if I’m lucky I can find some copies at BookOff. Thanks for the Facebook links! I’m kinda disappointed, though. Like Yoko’s video was this badass story, and I learn that Hina got the stone only to...... DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WITH IT. Disappointment major! But I did get a good chuckle out of the feathers in his. I kept thinking, “Chi-chan attacked Hina’s pillow.” I think the only ones I really liked were Yoko’s, Maru’s, and Yasu’s. Barus’ was okay, but I wish someone else had sung the song :x Ryo’s, Tacchon’s, and Hina’s were too slow for me. Hina’s could’ve been good if they had some kind of action/story to break up the dance parts. Oh, and why am I not surprised the penis gun I was side-eyeing on Yoko’s video comes from Baru? Eesh. I do love 8Uppers, though. I should watch it again. THOSE NAMES!
I’ll have to go back and watch those PVs, then! Demented is kind of a constant state of mind for me these days, so I bet I’ll enjoy it :P
I suppose they’re happy as long as some members are popular? Because if even one guy is super popular, people are still paying to see all of them. So they can kinda squeeze money out that way. I can actually name some of the guys in HSJ other than Yamada! Kota Yabu (some of the JHS girls had a thing for him). Yuri Chinen (Ohno fanboy) Yuto Nakajima (I’d better know him... I spent hours staring at his face for YowaKate because of Nino), Inoo Kei (Intelli-Idol & annoys Aiba with his Cat Love on TenShiDo). Keito Okamoto (grew up in the UK; annoys MatsuJun). That one kid with the hair that was in Gokusen that I can never remember his name but at least I know he’s in HSJ :P 6.5/9 isn’t bad! But I guess I only know them because of Arashi. Maybe that means I’ll know WEST soon because they’re always on KJ stuff. Prolly not, though. I always skip their parts on JaniBen. lol. I’m so mean.
Is Sho the fail one? I always thought that was Aiba. Sho’s got his genius rep, so Aiba and Oh-chan get to be the dumb ones. But I guess Sho’s supposed to fail at physical stuff (along with Neen). And any time they’re supposed to romance a girl. Good Lordy, did you see the one he did in English with Jun Hasegawa? I thought I was going to break a rib laughing so hard at the cheese. But they do have their roles. I suspect Jun is far less cool than he wants us to believe, and far less ‘S’. And Neen is actually not a total brat. Oh-chan’s not a zombie. Aiba’s not a moron. It’s funny - I watched AniShi for the first time in ages the other week and it was so confusing to me..... It was so quiet! They weren’t all shouting at each other and talking over each other........ I guess you get used to the chaos with Eito after a while :P
I thought Yasu was a pretty cute girl! And actually, Maru was really beautiful when he dressed up with Hina to work at Cecil McBee. He was one on of the prettier ones in KyanJani, too... so I just kept thinking it was a “bitches be jealous” thing :P Everyone kept fawning over Ryo & Tacchon, but I was just like ...... no. They all suck at being cutesy girly. Except Yasu. And Maru. Yoko was OK. I think the biggest problem was the wigs. NO ONE looks good with those awful heavy bangs! I guess they figured they had to hide their manly brows somehow, but it’s not like high school girls can wear makeup/pluck anyway. But yeah, Maruko was not and has never been the ugliest girl in KyanJani.

I’m not sure I can handle that much cuteness. My brain might explode. Well, I suppose Grumpster Ryo is there to balance it out. Also... watching old KanJani videos...... was Yoko supposed to be the wildly adorable one back in the day? Because all his faces are so hilarious! It seems to have shifted to Yasu and Maru later on and Yoko’s taken on a Nino-like brat role. (Though Tacchon definitely has the stronger ‘Nino’ role)
If you sanitize KanJani, I don’t think there’s really anything left to watch. I mean, obviously they’re awesome people, but they wouldn’t be KanJani then. Just some random group of seven guys in their 30s.
I only know two of the boys in WEST, so I have no clue who this Hamada kid is, but he’s cute. lol. I think he was on JaniBen once, though. Maybe?
