Shonen Storybook
HQ-Cuts Shonen Club 04/09/10 Theme : Story
Sorry for the delay..
I've had uploaded the cuts last week already, but then wasn't able to post to LJ for three days, wich is also the reason I haven't answered to any comment last week...sorry!
So, even if I think most of you will have seen this by now , I'm posting those since I already uploaded them...and of course because I simply can't left out such a nice episode !
All videos are AVI, 1024 x 576 Res. , all on Mediafire.
Story I
In wich dreams come true, brothers unite and mad people appear
The episode starts off with Arioka Daiki, Takaki Yuya and Nakajima Yuto greeting the audience and announcing the theme : "Story". Hey!Say!Jump starts the intro medley with "Dreams come true". In the following A.B.C-Z, KIS-MY-FT2, Johnnys "ungrouped" juniors, Snow Prince Gasshoudan and HipHopJump performed. Highlights in this were to me: a) a dance move of Morimoto Ryutaro that made me go "Woooaaaah...", b) Sunshine-Kid Murata Rikito who now holds the record of being on the screen of SC without even one single moment not smiling as bright as he can for the longest time in a row, I guess (since episode 12/15/09), c) M.A.D. joining the medley out of the blue by performing "Move your body" d) Morimoto Shintaro and his brother performing side on side at the final part. I don't get to see that very often.

Story II
In wich two Boys are hiding in the shadow too long
The B.I. Shadow performance of "Ima sugu ni" starts with Nakajima Kento and Kikuchi Fuma supported by Yasui (♥), Noeru, Taiga and Anderson, but without Kouchi Yugo and Matsumura Hokuto. I know, since one months episodes are recorded at once and since both of them were in the previous episode, it was completely unnecessary to get worried...but since members of B.I.Shadow have a tendency to just disappear without warning I almost started to panic. The performance was going on and on without any sign of Yugo nor Hokuto and then they suddenly popped out of nowhere. And the first thing visible of them was Yugo doing an almost messianic looking gesture as if he wanted to tell me "Don't you bear fear in your heart, see me for I'm here, blessing you with my presence!" What a relief.

Story III
In wich Hamanaka Bunichi becomes the invisible man
Butoukan performs "Now and forever", a song I really like a lot. Worth mentioning here is the absence of Bunichi for whatever reasons and the not-so-effective video playing in the background. Nevertheless a very nice performance!

Story IV
In wich a timeless song turns into...something else
NYC performing "Yuki 100%". I really don't know why, but this is more "Yuuki 50%" to me. I like everyone who is involved here : Chinen Yuri, Nakayama Yuma, Yasui Kentaro (♥), Taiga, Snow Prince Gasshoudan, HipHopJUMP and -believe it or not- I even like Yamada Ryosuke very much. So why I don't like this version of this song? My guess is it's because of that plastic-drum-beat-sound but I'm not sure. Following to the performance was a little Talk segment (also included in file), but I don't know what it was about, because my attention wandered to the interactions of the juniors in the back, especially to the one between Yasui Kentaro(♥) and Inoue Mizuki.Sadly the camera angel changed at the most interesting point.

Story V
In wich nothing happens at all
Koyamaru-Corner is called "Kat-tun Story", but it isn't that thrilling. In fact I have no idea why I did a cut of this at all. Even Kat-tun fanatics won't get too exited over pictures of Kames Hair highlights, Junnosuke and Tatsuya just sitting around and Koki grining at the camera, I guess.

Story VI
In wich the Great One defeats nine other kings and makes himself the ruler of paradise
The new Segment "JUMPing Paradise". Since this was not only downloaded a few hundred times from my posting on 04/09/10 in this journal, but also have been posted on much more popular sites several times, there's no need to avoid spoilers this time. It couldn't have been better than it was. Fans of Ryutaro know how much he hates to lose (my guess is : because he is not used to it!) and you can see his competitive side in this section very clearly (as well as his satisfaction about his victory). In addition to some repetitious slightly disrespectful comments from his bandmates about him in the past few issues of Myojo and similar magazines that was very satisfying for a biased fan like me, too...(By the way Yabu was very cool in here, too^^)

Story VII
In wich ten young men claiming they were born in the earth altough at least two of them are definitely from the heavens
Hey!Say!JUMP performing a medley consisting of a dance part, "Tobira no Mokou", "Hitomi no Screen" and "Born in the earth". Great ! And quite long (over seven minutes)..wich is NOT a complaint!

Story VIII
In wich Akun turns into a poodle
Question? performing "Shelter". A very good one (performance as well as the song itself). A.B.C-Z joins in during the song and makes this even better.
BUT: What had happend to Akuns hair?? I guess it has something to do with "Tokujo Kabachi!!" , the drama he is starring in. The only other explanation I can think of is that he was auditioning for the job as the new guitarplayer of The Street Beats. It can't be because of him thinking this looks cool , does it ? OO

Story IX
In wich you'll get hungry
Jr.Q - Theme is "School lunch #1". On the Board: Morimoto Shintaro, two Juniors I haven't seen before (or I just don't recognize them) but wouldn't mind at all to see again (especially the one who likes Ramen the most), very bright mooded members of Snow Prince Gasshoudan and Matsumura Hokuto. If I understood Hokuto right I could have exchanged my school lunch with him without risking a disappointing experience at all.

Story X
In wich a good looking turtle advices you to love yourself
A medley of Kat-tun songs performed by KIS-MY-FT2, Nakamaru Yuichi and Kamenashi Kazuya. The "Don't you ever stop " part misses Kokis rapping a LOT, but despite of that : This rocks!!

Story XI
In wich cherry blossoms falling with the blowing wind and the storybook is closed
Ending song is "Sakura girl" performed by Koyama Keiichiro supported by Kento, Yugo, KIS-MY-FT2, A.B.C-Z and other Jrs. HSJ are entering the stage at the end, but are not joining the performance, just for saying "See you next time!"
