An interesting fact, I think. In my mother tongue, Malay Language, and Arabic too, 'genie' is called 'jin'. That's why I found Akanishi Jin's name funny. xD
But I am going to talk about Jin. That, according to my friend Sherri, diva-like Jin. Thanks to his up-coming movie, BANDAGE (which apparently stands for BAND AGE, solving my constant wondering on how bandage has anything to do with a movie about bands >.>), I see a lot of Jin nowadays. He seems so lively in the press conferences of the movie, he makes jokes, he says something funny and he looks like being honest. Watching those, I felt like crying. Like, I got the Jin I used to love back.
I am not a big fan of Jin; my best one in KAT-TUN is Kame. But I've always found Bakanishi adorable. Very, very adorable, his dorkiness. I don't watch much of KAT-TUN's video, I have to admit that. But I remember this one appearance of KAT-TUN in Music Station, where Kame did all the talking, and Jin spoke like...2, 3 words. I was convinced that I lost my Bakanishi, thanks to that.
KAT-TUN might not be a group with the best chemistry or member-ai or whatsoever but Akame is one of the pairings I ship. They looked so good together; I couldn't say, or listen to Kame's name without remembering Jin, and vice versa. When I watched an old Shounen Club where Jin said he chose Kame as his partner if he was to go to a trip to Okinawa, I felt like hugging and kissing him. He looked very happy indeed when he won the game and got to go to the trip; he kept mentioning "Kamenashi", "Kamenashi". But well, the trip was not all nice, actually; promoting Imai Tsubasa on a island that no one ever heard of him was not an easy thing to do...
Well, I remember seeing an interaction of Akame in an episode of their TV show before, the one with Becky, but that is the last one. I miss the pairing as well as I miss Bakanishi but even Kame now is as boring as his significant other... >.>
Ah, the point is, I love cheery Jin. The one who frolics around. The one who makes jokes occasionally. And I wish YamaPi would be like that too. I don't wish them to be as rowdy as the Eito but well, Ryo didn't change that much, right? Jin has changed into the cool, very, very cool, and in my opinion, too cool Jin. YamaPi has turned into a boring perfect gentleman. And Kame... I don't know what he has turned into but he looks matured than his age; the last time I saw him is in Dream Boys promo.
Maybe I should watch some recent episodes of KAT-TUN's show... maybe I'll find my thought wrong. But it seems to me that Akame broke up, and both of them sort of fall apart after that. Maybe I just read too much fanfictions...
Ah, I forgot Jin is also a singer so perhaps I may comment on his voice? I love his voice in Harukana Yakusoku, when he did back up for Kame. And his voice when he sang Ai no Katamari with Ryo too. But the one in Harukana Yakusoku is the best. And yes, in Real Face when he did the back up as well. But apart from that, I think his voice is just okay. LOL.
Some screencaps of Jin's cheery days and Akame's trip to Okinawa. Everyone should watch it yo! It explains why Yabu and Hikaru used to be are experts in showing their fanservices. xD
He won a fight against... I forgot who. xD
He was hugged by Kamenashi when he won a fight with... again, I forgot who. LOL.
He won the final match against Yokoyama Yuu. It was a thing that if you win, you will get your dream realized. Jin wanted to go to a trip to Okinawa. When Yamapi asked him who would he take along, he said "Kamenashi."
Arrived at Okinawa Airport. It does make one wonder why Kamenashi was the only one who carried the luggage... Like an obedient wife...
Watching video message from Tackey. I love how Kame put his chin on Jin's shoulder... xD
Akame fighting! Kame sounded like a sulking girlfriend with, "Yeah, then I wouldn't have had to eat goya only.", and Jin the boyfriend with, "We had no choice." It seemed that they had planned to spend the time together if either of them win. >/////<
Sleeping in a tent! L>/////< When I watched this, my lil bro asked, "Sis, what are you watching?!" LOL. But after spending a day of hell, Jin kept saying, "I want to go home...I want to go home..." Kame complained less, though.

newshfan LOL. I end up flailing over Akame again. I miss this kind of moments~~
No latest Shounen Club in HD yet. I am getting restless; currently downloading a random episode Shokura in HD to kill time but I want that episode~~ Today's YY JUMPing's Live Stage was School Kakumei, by the way. Good performance, I think. ^^
p.s. Anne thinks Fujigaya's voice is heavenly in Good bye, Thank you. Good song, really. >/////<
