With the lights out, it's less dangerous ♫
一 Here are the promised icons :D Pretty simple, I just cropped them from screencaps and add some color. I don't like using textures or text, so I've been experimenting with colorization. I made them for my own use and because I like messing around with Photoshop, but feel free to take them for LJ, MSN, forums, or whatever. As for crediting, I won't chase anyone down the street with an axe. On LJ credit would be appreciated, I get pissed off when I see random users with icons I like and go to their profiles but don't find a link to whoever made it. So, yeah, the icons :D

二 Once Johnny managed to defeat Kodansha, more or less (results yet to be seen), he levelled up and now he faces a much stronger rival, DBSK, TVXQ or whatever the hell you want to call them. Those boys are not gonna go easy on Johnny, they've already conquered many Japanese and non-Japanese fans.
Link to the very interesting and short article.
The article says nothing I didn't know, but made me realize that I'm starting to dislike the company a bit. It's not as interesting as it used to be. I've been losing interest in NEWS, KAT-TUN and most of the Jrs. SMAP, TOKIO, Arashi, Kinki Kids...they debuted looong ago yet still never fail to entertain me. They're random, spontaneous, I don't know how to call it because if I'd say they're fresh it would sound like a paradox. As Matchy said on Kinki Kids' show, idols are much more serious nowadays *insert witty Batman joke*. I don't like western boybands, so please stop acting all cool trying to copy them. I don't like the Justin Timberlike you all seem to like, so plase stop :( I never thought I'd delete a whole Shokura after watching just the two first parts and nearly die from boredom. I don't like how things are going :( After Ya-ya-yah was disbanded, HSJ are my only hope. Give them more songs, break them into subgroups so everyone sings the same amount of lines, wait till they're a little bit older, give them a TV show in which you send them out to complete quests and stuff, allow them to compose their own things or come up with their own ideas, don't give that much importance to the musical aspect, give them another TV show and let them develop their characters, images, or whatever. I don't want cool, empty idols, I DO want more Nakais, Kimutakus, Taichis, Tomoya Nagases, Taiyous, Shoons, Juns, Ninos, etc you all get the picture. If not, I'll fangirl the ossans and surrender to the pink side. So, please, ENTERTAIN US. *starts singing Smells like teen spirit*
