Hey guys, I'm confused.

So, I just opened November's Wink Up and of course, there's a photoshoot of Hey! Say! JUMP, since they're on the cover ( Read more... )

Technically, K8 hadn't yet debuted when NEWS was formed, but because they were off doing their own thing, they were more of an established group than most Junior units. So there was that same confusion, as I understand it, but I have no idea if it was the same sort of thing as what's going on now. JE really, really confuses me sometimes...

So then technically, Ryo and Uchi were half and half? Or is there the term "debuted junior"? XD

Also, I do not know why Wink Up has an article featuring Hiroto from Alice Nine. I am not complaining, but it makes no sense. Neither does their page on Nightmare.

Unless maybe there are more fans of BOTH jrock and jpop than I thought... and here I considered myself almost unique. ;)

Well, I guess technically they were debuted but still deigning to participate in a junior group? Or something. At the time, it was a unique situation, but it looks like maybe it's becoming more common. (Or possibly we just have no idea what's going on yet.)

That is indeed strange. I know a few people who are very into both jrock and jpop, but not that many. Maybe it's more common in Japan?

Hmm. I don't think so. Here, people don't even seem to like multiple GROUPS. They seriously become hardcore fans of JUST ONE. And all focus and energy goes to that group. It's sort of odd. Like... they can't like more than one thing at once.

When NewS was originally formed, it was a group only for the Volleyball tournament, but it was so well-received that they became a debuted group. At least this is my understanding of how NewS came to be. I think that`s also possibly why NewS wasn`t included in the debuted groups during the VTR before Hey! Say! JUMP was introduced ( ... )

NEWS was included in the debut VTR, actually.
KAT-TUN wasn't.

And the December mags will be out on November 7th, still before the CD release...

But I guess you're right. We just have to wait and see what happens. Jiretai yo.

Were they? Sorry about that. KAT-TUN probably wasn`t because they were debuted with Real Face and not Gloria (although it`s on the single).

True, they will be, but because they are december, they will most likely be in there :) If I remember right, it was that way with KAT-TUN...I`ll look at my old magazines later :) That said, all the stuff is in place for the TV show, and as I mentioned, JWeb has information about the `Debut`. So it`s just a matter of waiting for the actual CD to come out :D

Luckily you don`t have too much longer to wait :)

(Be careful of your romanization though...It`s jirettai :))

Gah, I suck at romaji.
Or Japanese spelling in general.

I always have to ask things like:

"is it そ or そう?" when people tell me words. I have a hard time hearing the difference in speech.
