newshfan has subbed and uploaded all of these perfromances. She's always so fast with her subs!

Merry Christmas to you, too :).

ETA: And yamaperfection usually has raw for these kinds of shows up really soon after they have aired. She already has the Shounen Club Xmas Special up, but since newshfan has announced that she will be subbing it, I'm waiting for her version .

I am ... and wow, since when did Tsubasa definitely morph into a hottie? Where is the chubby kid gone?

I can't dig Kanjani8 ... their outfits are hideous and their songs are weird, esp. the one they were performing. Nothing really fit the melody nor the lyrics.
I loved the ARASHI performance .. and I noticed that either Jun is totally gay or he is channeling Kimura-kun's dancing style ;)
Better not lose anything about KAT-TUN's outfit ... OMG! And we will probably see these coats on some poor dancing juniors next year (I swear some of the outfits of the dancing juniors with the Tackey & Tsubasa perf were either old Kanjani8 or KAT-TUN outfits).

I'm constantly surprised how Tsubasa looks like nothing outside the stage, but when he's performing.... Whoah!!! He suddenly turns into a major hottie!

He really shines on stage, I've noticed! But not really outside it. He's clearly one of those persons who has amazing stage presence, but isn't that special outside the stage.

Yeah, well, K8's *music* is actually the first music I liked in JE.

And then I noticed how crazy and wacky they always seem, which also attracted me to them :).

NEWS: The guys are pretty, yes, but most of the music is rather bland and forgettable :P... Swedish Eurovision pop :P. Still, PI is totally hot iMO :). And Ryo not too far behind...

Arashi is always so much fun.

LOL, JE seems to be very good about recycling stuff... :D

To be honest ... the most enjoyable performances for me were Arashi's, News', Tokio's and SMAP, of course. The others were either IMHO weird, badly done or just umm... bland.
I really wish Ryo would only do News. First, he looks really tired and with K8 having a new show from next year on he will be even more tired, and secondly, he was more enthusiastic in the News performance than with K8. He looked like he had more fun with News (judging from the outfits I would think so too).

But did you see Tokio? What did Nagase do to his hair? And they all look so old, as if they did the whole sex, drugs and rock'n'roll thing. They are as old (or young) as SMAP and SMAP definitely look younger.

Yes, I agree that it must be really tiring to work with two active groups, especially since they are based in different town and he has to commute back and forth all the time. Still, I do like him with K8 as well, since IMO quite a lot of the time he looks more relaxed with them than with NEWS, though it has gotten better lately.

Yes, SMAP did look younger than Tokio and I didn't like Nagase's look during the performance at all. He very fine in Utahime, though. BTW, the drama is highly recommended!!! It's really my favourite from this season's jdramas (the softsubs by siantut can be found at http://www.s-projects.org).
