I knew these boys from their junior days....
Akito and Junta, as BAD, the fun and happy duo....
Hamachan, from BOYS with Daichi, is the cool duo...
Shige, Kamichan, Ryusei and Nozomu, the 7West boys, the sexy group.....
As what I said in part 1, Akito was my first love in Kanju....
However, I was also very fond of Veteran's Maashi at that time....
I have always loved to see all of them on stages and dramas, even though some of the boys were quite bad actors....
During those time, Akito, Bunichi, Kamichan and Shige, were some of the boys with quite impressive acting skills, from my point of view....
Long story short, during 2011, I think I stopped closely following them as I'm a person who doesn't have the ability to follow more than a group in one time.....And I decided to put my priority on other group....Nevertheless, I was still watching their appearances in Shounen Club.....
In 2013, somehow I was completely disconnected with Kanju World....I didn't even know what were their new songs at that time....
I just knew bits and pieces of their works....Especially for those boys who worked together with my prioritized boys at that time....
When I knew they were going to debut with 4 members only, I was so upset that I didn't even wanna know about them anymore....
What made me feel so devastated? Hamachan was not in the list....Shige was being put in the center but Kamichan was left behind....Nozomu, who came from nowhere, had a place in the group but not Ryusei....
However, in 2018, I wasn't sure what makes me starting to watching those kanju stuffs again...(I guess I just missed Daichi so much)....
And I started to search for Johnny's West stuffs....The first album I listened to was Nawesto....
And I fall in love with 2 songs from the album, immediately...
1. Believer - this song is really my type
2. Yuki Ni Negai Ou - I didn't know who sang it as I didn't look at the discography
I started to search for their concert and I tried to watch Nawesto concert....GOSH! I fall in love with Yuki Ni's performance.....why?
I always loved seeing Hamachan with guitar....then this was the first time I really acknowledged Nozomu's voice....
When I searched about them further, I found photos of long-haired Nozomu....(I'm weak with long hair boy).....
So, What I can say was, long hair Nozomu and the Yuki Ni's performance were the beginning of me being a West's fan....
It took me 2 years to equally accept them all....Shige and Junta were my least favourite....but now, I can proudly say, I'm a RAINBOW jasmine....
Junta amazed me on how genius he is....I've read tweets about how he was able to give quite brilliant opinions in Seigi No Mikata show....
Shige, his composition of songs is not an idol-level....Norikoshi is definitely a sweet love story song....Machigachainai is way a higher level song....To You is too emotional...in a good way....
Ryusei, I just thought that he was just another pretty face idol....until he volunteered as the WesTV producer.....It was the best and comprehensive concert ever.....
Kamichan, Akito and Hamachan, these boys never failed to mesmerized me in singing, dancing and acrobatics....but they never stop improving....
Now I can talk about any members...I can point out good things about any of them....
I don't only admire them....I respect them....
