I like the style of the shoot. The wall clock on the floor, the antique piano behind him, the patterned carpet. I like that he's wearing a tux and a top hat, and the cane. And that the hat hides his hair. Please go back to black soon. I wish this were a poster. I did indeed just make a post just to wax lyrical about this particular shoot. I might need to get this issue of Wink Up, because the HSJ previews dropped a couple of days before Ueda's, and I think it's been a while since I had so many feelings for a shoot. That their paired up (or tripled up in Yabu/Takaki/Inoo's case) may have something to do with it. And that it's a more natural, simple kind of shoot. A few shots under the spoiler cut.
I want fic full of feelings about friendship and love and trust, feelings that are sweet and bitter and overpowering and I don't even know why this shoot calls out to me so much, but probably because the past couple of days have been highly emotional and I needed something to focus on, to shut everything else out, and this happened to be it. ALSO LOOK AT INTO YABU'S EYES. I feel like they can see right through me.
Am I crazy, flist? I think I'm crazy.
Have some offshoots from the Yamachii shoot while I'm at it.
Inoo eats rice with pizza. Idk what to do with that information but I feel like one day it'll be useful, and when it comes, Future!Me will thank Current!Me for having the foresight to write it down.
Got my advanced standing from University 1 to University 2. Got so much more than I was expecting, but I still can't be exempt from the "Academic Conduct Essentials" unit everyone has to do. >_< Oh well. I was thinking of taking a minor to use up my electives (Cyber Forensics, Japanese or Business Law?), but with all the credit I got, I wouldn't need to do one should I decide not to.
I never did say anything about my thoughts on the albums, did I? I love them both; s3art and come Here. Jammed to FOREVER for one week, and TRIANGLE the next. I love hearing the more grown-up side of JUMP, and I'm so proud of KAT-TUN for showing everyone that they can be flexible and still fabulous. Kame, KAT-TUN indeed sing a bunch of cool songs. I've listened to Candle 27 times tonight, and counting. I'm sad about the re-recording of the singles, but I understand. I'm so glad Hikaru was able to write the song he'd wanted to for four years. It's so GOOD to hear Inoo and Keito's voices so much more on this album - I'm happy too, Chinen. I love that Ueda continues to surprise us with his solos. Yes! is going to kill me when it's performed live. (I refuse to believe there's a possibility of the sub-unit songs not being performed). Junno's voice continues to astound me, and Nakamaru's solo is so cool.
I'm a little sick, a little cold and a little stressed, but I have tea so everything's good for now. ♥
