[Review] Johnny's Countdown 2015-2016
Aaaahhh~~ at first I thought I'm gonna review this Johnny's event properly from the beginning to the end of the show. But, now I'm kinda lazy to do it so, I'll just post few screen caps from few performance. Not all.
So, this time Arashi became the host again and V6 stayed for Kohaku. Thought they didn't have much time to change their costume after they performed in Kohaku and just went straight to Tokyo Dome to host the show. LOL.
The show started with 'Johnny's Request Medley'. I think in this medley all Johnny's debuted group sang the song from fans request.
I love it when KAT-TUN sang 'Real Face' in this medley, but, I also felt little bit sad. It was their debut song with 6 members. Now they're only four members. And it will be only three of them who'll stay after Spring when Junnosuke really leave them for good. (T____T)
And somehow, it looked like Junnosuke wasn't as genki as usual. But I hope I was wrong. Be tough, Junnosuke! Keep fighting, KAT-TUN!
Before new year countdown, Kinki Kids sang their first single, Garasu no Shounen (1997). I love this song too. Never feel bored when I listen to this song.
After countdown and celebrate New Year (and of course celebrate Domoto Koichi's birthday too in every new year), the show continued to 'Johnny's Special Collaboration Medley'. For started Johshima Shigeru (TOKIO), Sakurai Sho (Arashi), Murakami Shingo (Kanjani 8), Tegoshi Yuya (NEWS), Yokoyama Yu (Kanjani 8), Shigeoka Daiki (Johnny's West) and others Jr. ssang TOKIO's song 'Sorafune'.
Then followed by Matsuoka Masahiro (TOKIO), Aiba Masaki (Arashi), Taguchi Junnosuke (KAT-TUN), Koyama Keiichiro (NEWS), Hamada Takahiro (Johnny's West) sang Hikaru Genji's song Garasu no Juudai (1985) with special guest Atsuhiro Sato (Hikaru Genji) of course! Aaahh~~ I like this senpai! He's still kakkoii~!!
Takizawa Hideaki (Tackey & Tsubasa), Nakamaru Yuichi (KAT-TUN), Ohkura Tadayoshi (Kanjani 8), Fujii Ryusei (Johnny's West), Kotaki Nozomu (Johnny's West), Takahisa Masuda (NEWS) sang Arashi's song 'Love so Sweet'.
Domoto Tsuyoshi (Kinki Kids) and Kokubun Taichi (TOKIO) sang their duo song 'Fantastipo' (2005) together with Nagase Tomoya (TOKIO), Maruyama Ryohei (Kanjani 8). Yeah, it's been 10 years since their 'duo debut' as Toraji & Haiji.
Collaboration Medley continued with Ninomiya Kazunari (Arashi), Shigeaki Kato (NEWS), Shibutani Subaru (Kanjani 8), Nakama Junta (Johnny's West) sang V6's song 'Made in Japan'.
My other favorite senpai's song, Shonentai's song Kamen Budokai (1985) sang by Yamaguchi Tatsuya (TOKIO), Matsumoto Jun (Arashi), Kamenashi Kazuya (KAT-TUN), Ueda Tatsuya (KAT-TUN), Takahisa Masuda (NEWS), Nishikido Ryo (Kanjani 8), Kiriyama Akito (Johnny's West) with their senpai, Higashiyama Noriyuki (Shonentai) as special guest too.
After Kamen Budokai, Higashiyama-senpai sang Kondo Masahiko's song 'Andalusia ni Akogarete' together with Domoto Koichi (Kinki Kids), Ohno Satoshi (Arashi) and Imai Tsubasa (Tackey & Tsubasa). I love this song too. But, too bad they didn't dance like they usually do in this song.
This 'Andalusia ni Akogarete' song was closing of Collaboration Medley. Then they continued with 'Johnny's Group Change Medley'.
Kanjani8 sang Sexy Zone's song Cha Cha Cha Champion. TOKIO sang Kanjani8's song Musekinin Hero
Sexy Zone sang TOKIO's song Love You Only. Hey! Say! JUMP who held their concert in Kyocera Dome Osaka sang Johnny's West song Zundoko Paradise via livestream. Kis-my-Ft2 sang Hey! Say! JUMP's song Ultra Music Power.
And KAT-TUN sang Kis-my-Ft2's song SHE! HER! HER! (^___^) I love it!
Then followed by Johnnys West sang ABC-Z's song Za ABC 5 stars, and NEWS sang Arashi's song Monster, while Arashi sang NEWS's song NEWS Nippon as the last song of Group Change Medley. Everytime they do group change medley always make me happy. Well, it's not everyday you watch a show when senpai sang kouhai's song. That's why I love Johnny's Countdown.
It's 2016. Of course we celebrate KAT-TUN 10th Anniversary this year. So, in this JCD, KAT-TUN performed 'Bokura no Machi de', In Fact, and KISS KISS KISS as 10th Anniversary Medley.
This made me cry for sure. Lot of things happened in past 10 years since their debut. I hope they'll getting stronger and of course I hope all fans keep supporting them too as a group.
After KAT-TUN 10th Anniversary Medley, it followed by Kinki Kids Special Medley. Kinki Kids sang 'Ai no Katamari (2001)', 'Yamanaide, PURE (1999)', and Flower (1999)'. Surprisingly, they did dance in Yamanaide, PURE song. *\(^____^)/* And when they sang Flower, all Johnny's came out to the stage and sang together with them. I don't know why, but, I like almost all Kinki Kids' songs. Sukiiiiii~~~ <3<3<3<3<3<3
JCD this year had new segment. It was Drem Duet TOP 5.
No.5 Sakurai Sho and Kikuchi Fuma (Sexy Zone) sang Arashi's song 'A.R.A.S.H.I'
No.4 Higashiyama Noriyuki (Shonentai) and Ohno Satoshi (Arashi) sang Shonentai's 1985 song 'Nihon Yoitoko Makafushigi'. I was surprised Higashiyama-senpai and Oh-chan did backflip together. I never thought Higashiyama-senpai still can do backflip. LOL
Before they continued to No.3, there was a surprise performance. I was almost jump from my seat when Sho announced 'Shuuji to Akira'! Aaaaaaaakkkk~~~!!! I thought Yamapi wouldn't be on JCD this year because of his schedule or something. Turned out it was for surprise performance. So, that's why there was no Yamashita Tomohisa's name on JCD list performances before.
Shuuji to Akira a.k.a Kamenashi Kazuya (KAT-TUN) and Yamashita Tomohisa sang their duo's single 'Seishun Amigo', an original soundtrack of their dorama 'Nobuta wo Produce'. Hissashiburiiiii~~ <3<3<3<3<3<3
Waaaaaaa~~~ and looked what Kame did after!! He hugged Yamapiiiiii~~!!! Aaaaaaaa~~ Kameeeeeee~~~ I love your big smile when you sang this song!! Please keep that smile, nee~~ (^___^)V
After surprised performance from Kamenashi Kazuya and Yamashita Tomohisa, Dream Duet TOP 5 continued.
No.3 Matsumoto Jun (Arashi) and Kawai Fumito (A.B.C.-Z) sang Arashi's song 'Wish'. MatsuJun and Fumito are cute together.
Fumito is MatsuJun's monomane (impersonator) LOL.
No.2 Kitayama Hiromitsu (Kis-my-Ft2) and Okura Tadayoshi (Kanjani8) sang Kis-my-Ft2's song Ai no Beat and Kanjani8's song 'Zukkoke Otoko Michi'.
No.1 and the epic Dream Duet are Shibutani Subaru (Kanjani8) and Takizawa Hideaki (Tackey & Tsubasa). They sang Arashi's song Ashita ni Mukatte!!
OMG!! I felt like I watched Juniors concert!! LOL Haven't hear this song for a very long time and then Takki and Subaru sang it again in JCD made me HAPPY!! Even Arashi looked happy and followed the dance too!! :D
Oohhh~~ I love this Johnny's Countdown. I hope next JCD will be better and better again. And maybe next time I'll watch Johnny's Countdown Live in Tokyo Dome, not just live streaming. Hahahahahaha~~
Jyaaa~
